Not So Broken Dreams
Platypus(I Hate You�JK)
POV-Billie Joe
The next day I decided to do something huge. I told Mike and Tre to keep Kelly busy so she wouldn't notice that I was gone. I went out and bought everything I needed. I came back 3 hours later to find Kelly hadn't even woken up yet. It was three in the afternoon. It was the bands day off(We seemed to of gotten a lot of those). I ran around the house looking for Kel's home phone number. It was urgent. I finally found it and called her mom.
"Hello?" I recognized her mom's voice.
'Hi Mrs.Genoa it's Billie Joe."
"Hi! Wait did something happen to Kelly?"
"No, its just I really like your daughter..and we’ve sorta been dating for like…..ugh..awhile . I want to marry her…..I mean I know shes only 17 and she only recently turned 17 but I love her and I want to make her happy. You know about all her past pain and I want to fix her.”
“You’ve been dating?”
“Yes maim.”
“I don’t know, it’s up to her. I think she’s too young but, it’s her life not mine.Jeez I never thought I'd be dealing with this so soon. I don't think it's right but again, it's her life not mine.”
“If she said yes would you give us your blessing?”
“Of course!”
“What about her dad?”
“He may need some convincing but I’ll handle that you just ask her alright?”
“Ok...”
“Good luck!”
“Thanks”
I got off the phone feeling pretty confident then Kelly walked into the room and my heart went aflutter, so did my stomach. I felt ill. “She won’t say yes. Don’t do it, you can’t. She’ll get scared.”
POV-Kelly
I was stumbling into the living room of our hotel suite. I had a major headache and felt nauseous. Billie was sitting in a chair next to the phone. “Kel?” he asked. “Yeah” I said while I tried to lift my heavy eyes back up.
“Do you love me?”
“God , not this again…..” In my head I went back to the day in the airport when I told him I loved him. I smiled when I realized how far we've come…almost 5 months but it felt like a lifetime cause we had gotten to know each other so damn well.
“I'm serious, do you?”
“Of course I love you!”
“Do you need me?”
“Yes!”
“How long will you love me?”
“I dunn-“ Before I could finish my answer Billie chimed in with “ a month longer?? A year longer?? Forever??” I felt a huge lump in my throat. “Did he just ask if I’d love him forever??” I thought.
“Do you love me?” I asked.
“Yes.”
“Do you need me??”
“More than the air I breathe.”
“How long will you love me??”
“Forever isn't long enough for me.” I went crazy in my head trying to figure out what he had just said. I couldn't have heard him correctly. “Forever’s a long time” I thought “He doesn't know…he'll never know until forever.”
POV-Billie Joe
“You never answered me.” I said not sure if I wanted to know the answer.
“Will I love you forever?? Maybe. It depends on you.”
“And what can I do to make you love me forever?” Kelly just shrugged to that and walked off. I had ruined it. All of it ruined. Kelly walked back in the room and said “I don't think this is working out.”
“Why not?? Because I love you and will forever?? I'm not afraid of love. I was but now, now I have you. Why are you so afraid of loving me forever? I'm not like John. I won't fuck and run. I'm in this for the long haul unlike you. I have no doubts no childlike fears. I am a fucking man about this.” I screamed at her.
“Fuck you Billie Joe.” She had tears in her eyes and I knew I had lost her forever
