CHAPTER SEVEN: A BLISSFUL EVENING

BILLIE'S POV:
I wake up and realize that Jack is gone. I see his note so I call him
*call*
Ja: hey, how you feeling
B: much better, thanks for helping
Ja: Don't mention it, I'm glad your oka-
B: I'm sorry Jack I'm getting another call
Ja: take it
B: no that would be rude
Ja: and it would also be rude if you don't take the other call, you can take it I insist
B: you're so amazing, I promise I'll call you straight after
Ja: I'll be waiting

*other call*
B: Jonah?
Jo: hi Billie...is this a bad time?
B: uh...no what's up
Jo: you still owe me that coffee date
B: yeah...I guess I do
Jo: I really need to tell you something but...I can't do it over the phone
B: so you wanna meet up?
Jo: yeah...if you're not doing anything, I don't want to disturb you
B: no that's okay,I've been stuck in bed for a while and I'd love to head out
Jo: are you still recovering?
B: something like that anyway where should we meet?
Jo: I would say the café but the sunsets looking amazing...do you wanna...maybe...head to the beach for an evening picnic to watch the sunset?
B: that's not oddly specific at all, haha
Jo: haha, promise I'll have a salted Carmel latté that's not too hot or cold with two sugars extra foamy waiting for you...and a barito
B: I'm definitely coming
Jo: haha okay great! Meet you by the rocks in 20 minutes
B: see you then
Jo: I can't wait

I place my phone next to me and I can't help but smile. I don't know why I'm so excited to see Jonah? The words he said to Haley the other day still ring in my head and I'm so grateful for them. I go from excited to nervous as I remember that he said he has something to tell me...what can it be? I better get ready. It's early evening outside but still a bit warm so I slip into leggings and a top with some slops. I still have the remaining bandages and bruises and I'm still in pain but if I stay in bed any longer I'll slowly but surely go crazy. I slowly make it down the stairs to find my mom

B: mom!
M: honey, what are you doing out of bed?!
B: I'm going to the beach with Jonah
M: what?! No your not fully recovered yet and who is Jonah?
B: mom please, if I stay cooped up in my bed all day then how am I going to recover. I haven't been out in weeks and you can trust Jonah, he's one of jack's friends and I met him at the café a little while before the accident. He stood up for me to Haley, it would just be rude not to go
M: mmm...I suppose but curfew is eight! You have school tomorrow
B: oh yeah, school
M: yes you are going tomorrow
B: okay, thanks mom bye
M: where do you think you're going, get in the car I'll drive you
B: mom the beach is literally like 5 minuets away, I can walk it
M: so is the café but that didn't go so well now did it?
B: that's just mean
M: car, now
B: okay, okay jeez

Mom drops me off at the rocks but there's no one there so I sit down to wait. The winds start getting a little chilly, I should've brought a hoodie. I remember that I promised to call jack after my call with Jonah
*call*
B: hey
Ja: hi, who was the other call?
B: Jonah, he wanted to meet up
Ja: are you meeting up?
B: yeah
Ja: no! You should be home recovering
B: I took my meds, I feel fine...what's the big deal?
Ja:the big deal is your going out with him!
B: maybe I am, wrong with that?
Ja: oh...I see how it is
B: see how what is? Jack where's this coming from, what's wrong?
Ja: nothing
B: I know somethings wrong
Ja: I said I'm fine okay! Now leave me alone

I'm stunned at his words. I don't know what's bothering him

B: I-I...have to go
Ja: no Billie! I'm sorry I didn't mean that
B: bye jack
Ja: Billie no! I'm sorry
BEEEEP
