Tragedy(Billie Joe Armstrong) (#Wattys2018)

Chapter 50: Jersey Part 3

Bandit's POV

"Wake up," Gerard whacked me with a pillow.

"You bitch," I threw it at him.

"We have one more full day, make it last," he sat up.

"Not another plane ride," I rolled over on him.

"I know, don't leave me," he wrapped his arms around me.

"I wish I could just drag the boys out here and then just stay here," I sighed.

"If life was easy..." he said.

"Oh if only," I agreed.

"If life was easy I would be able to kill your damn stepdad," he shook his head.

"Don't go gettin' arrested on me," my eyes widened.

"I know, does Daryl know?" He asked.

"No, my dad does not know and he's not gonna know!" I looked up at him.

"Just asking," he laughed.

"I know, Billie knows now," I laid my head back down on his chest.

"You told me, how exactly did he find out? You're not one to talk about that," he asked.

"Um, I had a panic attack and told him," I said quickly.

"I figured that much, but what caused it? You can tell me, or are you hiding things now?" He questioned.

"Um, ha ha..." I stalled myself.

"Wait..." he looked down at me.

"We were drunk," I added.

"Oh!" He got the idea, "you could've just said we were about to have sex."

"I'm not as straight forward as you!" I said hiding my face from embarrassment.

"He's your boyfriend, I really don't care," he laughed at me.

"Good to know?" I lifted my head and gave him a weird look. He just laughed and rolled his eyes. "Mall today?" I asked.

"Good with me," he said.

"Okay, well let's go," I sat up. I got out of bed and went over to my suitcase. I grabbed a pair of jeans, a black tee shirt, and Billie's sweatshirt. "I'll be back," I announced and went downstairs into the bathroom.

I changed and grabbed the plastic bag I left on the counter. I brushed my teeth and fixed my hair. I ditched the eyeliner for today and left the bathroom. I went back up to Gerard's room and put my pajamas in my suitcase. I walked down to the kitchen and sat at the table next to Mikey.

"Bagel?" He asked.

"Sure," I answered.

"Already knew that," he slid a plate with a bagel on it. I picked up the bagel, toasted with cream cheese, delicious.

"Thanks," I smiled and began eating.

"Mall today Mikey, you coming?" Gerard sat down.

"Hell yeah," he answered.

"Perfect, after we eat we'll head out," he smiled.

"Who needs new clothes?" I asked as we entered the mall.

"Mikey," Gerard said.

"Gee," Mikey replied.

"Okay so we got a full day of shopping," I clapped my hands together. "Tell me what stores and I will do my best!"
