The Judges Daughter

Chapter 1

The Judges Daughter

Billie's POV

The guys and I decide to go out drinking to celebrate the release of our new album "21st Century Breakdown". While we hang out I notice a few fans of ours. One, a girl that looked to be about 17 asked me for a picture and autograph. Of course I couldn't say no, she had on a t-shirt of the new album and "rage and love" bracelets and she was kinda cute in an awkward way. "Who should I make it out to?" "Sara...no H" I nod and sign her cd. "Thank you so much." After she meets Tré and Mike she leaves with her friends. Bummer, If she stuck around I might have taken her home with me. The rest of the night the guys and I drink until they close the bar. I get super drunk and like a complete idiot decide to drive home.

------------------------------------------

Sara's POV

I can't believe I met my hero tonight! Even if I did have to sneak out of the house with my friends to do it, it was so totally worth it. As I sit in my room my dad comes up and asks how studying is going. "Great, thanks." "I'm surprised you didn't try to sneak out agin tonight." In my head I'm laughing, I always sneak out he only caught me once. "Of course I didn't, school is very important" haha that's a bunch of shit. He smiles and says goodnight, closing the door behind him.

------------------------------------------

Billie's POV

As I drive I think I hit something but don't get out and look. In the morning I wake up to a knock on my door and a terrible hangover. I open the door, two cops stand on my doorstep and ask me to get dressed. "What's this about?" "Just get dressed and come with us please."

------------------------------------------

Billie's POV

I get dressed and they take me down to the station in their cop car. When they let me out I'm taken to an interrogation room and shown a tape of me driving last night. Remember I said I thought I hit something? I did, but it wasn't a something it was a someone. A little girl. They show me her picture and I feel a wave of guilt hit me."Your being charged with a hit and run and DWI." I can't believe this. "Your court date is August 26th, next Tuesday....until then your being held until someone post bail. You get one call." I call Mike and tell him what happened. "Holy shit Bill! I'll be down there with the money."

------------------------------------------

Sara's POV

My dad gets called into work so I get to be alone the rest of the night. That's the only good part of him being a judge, he's rarely home. I grab dinner and sit down in the living room. When I turn on the tv the news is on "Lead singer of Green Day Charged with DWI and Hit and Run." I literally have no idea what to do. I sit there with my mouth hung open, replaying last night in my head. How could that happen? He's not that kind of guy. My phone goes off, it's my friend Mia calling, she never calls me, usually she just texts."Hey." "Hey...did you see the news?" "Yeah, that's crazy! We just met him last night-" "-did you hear who he hit?" "N-no. Who?" "My sister." I start crying, he hit Sophia?!

------------------------------------------

Mike's POV

I get to the police station, pay Billie's bail and get the hell out of there before all the paparazzi shows up. "Who did you hit?" "A little girl...her name was Sophia. I guess she walked out in the middle of the street and I didn't see her. I'm never drinking agin...not after this."

------------------------------------------

Sara's POV

I leave a note on the table saying I went to Mia's and then text her that I'm on my way. When I get to her house there's yellow "DO NOT CROSS" tape around the end of her drive way and a spot of dried blood on the ground. She runs out of her house and hugs me. "Thank you for coming over. Your spending the night right?" "That's why I brought my sleeping bag." She helps grab the rest of my stuff from my car and I follow her to my room. "My parents have been sleeping all day...they can't believe she's gone. I can't either. All because of that drunk son of a bitch." "That son of a bitch is my hero." "He's still your hero after what happened to my sister?!"

------------------------------------------

Billie's POV

"I want to go by the house..." "What house?" Mike questions. "The house that I hit that little girl in front of." "Bill...i don't think that's such a good idea." "Mike, I want to talk to the family about what happened. Please?" He caves in and I give him the address. When we pull up and I see the crime scene I feel terrible. "Want me to go with you?" "No, it's better if I go alone." I walk up to the door and ring the door bell.

------------------------------------------

Sara's POV

Just as I'm about to answer her question the doorbell rings. She runs down stairs to answer it and I hear her yell "get the fuck out of here."

I run down stairs and see Billie Joe in the doorway. Mia yells at him and pushes him away, I pull them apart. "Stop!"

------------------------------------------

Sara's POV

"What are you doing here?" I ask him. "I came to apologize for...killing that little girl." "Her name was Sophia!" Mia yells at him. He nods and then looks at me "didn't I sign something for you last night?" I shake my head yes, unable to speak. "What's your name?" "...Sara." "Right. Listen I'm really sorry about your sister." "She wasn't my sister she was Mia's". He looks at Mia and says if he could take her place he would.

------------------------------------------

Billie's POV

"You should be in her place, you should be dead!" She yells and runs back inside. "I'm really sorry about her...she's just upset." "Obviously." She hides behind her hair as we talk about how she knows Mia. I ask her if she has a phone, she pulls out her iPhone "yeah, why?" I take the phone from her and put my number in. "Call me or text me sometime." "Oh. Okay." Mike honks and I start walking towards the car "Great to see you agin Sara." "You too Billie."

------------------------------------------

Sara's POV

I watch him get in the car and pull off with Mike. I go inside, close the door behind me and look at his contact. He gave me his phone number! He put it under "Billie Joe" with a heart a emoji next to it! "Are you done talking to that fucking asshole." Mia shouts from upstairs. "Yeah." I yell back "kinda.." I whisper to myself. I text him my address and tell him to meet me there tomorrow. After he answers "sounds great." I run upstairs and join Mia in her room hoping that he will actually come see me agin.
