My Life With Billie Joe Armstrong (discontinued)

Chapter 20: You better throw the first punch; make it a good one.

Billie ended up wanting to be the one to handle the bully situation. He said I could get in trouble and really, until I get my cast off, I shouldn't get into trouble.

It was only a week away...

I didn't really know how that would roll over in the future. I could do some damage, but to have your dad take care of it just makes it look...weak. I know he meant well. And Jacob probably thought the same...
Now if your SISTER beats them up, that's different. I'm not saying women are weak or feeble. They're strong and we got our shit together better than most men these days. But when you know there are men who hate the THOUGHT of losing to a girl, you can use that. Have a girl beat, and win, against men who think little of women, they suddenly feel weak themselves.

I was in my room laying on my bed with my feet hanging off the end at my knees, waiting to hear from Matt. He'd been running about all day with people blowing him up for tree and to hang out. It was something I expected as someone who would run tree. The difference between dealing and running is when you deal it's YOUR tree and YOUR prices. When you run, you take the dealers product and literally run it to people who know you do running. They bring you the product, and bring their boss the money.

I had given my phone number to Jacob so if things went south afterBillie handled it I could run and take care of it. Which I was fully expecting. Not saying billie wouldn't be able to handle it, but I have a feeling I can do more than him since he can't beat up minors. And to him, they would be minors.

When I heard the door, I knew billie was home and waited. Either for a very soon to come call or billie to come up to my room. After ten minutes and no billie, I rested my eyes and my phone went off, making me jump as I answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hey Saddie?..." It was Jacob. He was coughing and sounded upset.

"What's up?" I stood ready to get walking. I'd just lie and tell billie Matt messaged me.

And if I got cuffed by cops, oh well.

"Dad tried to solve it but..."

"It just made it worse?" There wasn't a response right away, but when he answered yeah I could tell it was him nodding and realizing we were on the phone.

"Okay. I'll be there in ten. Where are you?"

"We usually are outside for twenty minutes before we get let in." I started walking downstairs after throwing a hoodie on.

"Okay. I'll be there in like fifteen. Can you hold up and wait till I get there?" It just sounded like I was talking to matt, so when I went down and billie looked up I held a hand up.

"I'll be here. Just call me before hand." I hung up and looked at billie now.

"Matts back around. I'm gonna go meet him half way and we're gonna go on like. Not a nature walk but a little stroll." He smiled.

"Alright. Thanks for letting me handle Jacobs issue by the way." I smiled and waved as I walked out.

Now, to fix what he called a solution.

I jogged my way to the school and found all of the kids outside. Luckily, no teachers were around. So when I began walking around to find Jacob, I wasn't out of place exactly. My phone was ringing and I bit my lip. Hopefully they weren't cornering him.

"Saddie? Come around the left far corner of the building." Was all I heard before he hung up. I looked to the direction he described and ran, finding him tucked away.

"Hey kiddo. Let's solve this." I said, taking my hoodie off and tossing it aside as I cracked my fingers and neck. He stood up and sighed; that's when I noticed he was drenched from his head to about mid chest.
