He Steals the Image In Her Kiss

"Billie Joe? Wake up Billie. Please wake up." I poked and prodded Billie's abdomen trying to wake him. "Man, c'mon! It's like three in the afternoon." I couldn't get him up so I opted to let my mind wander. I smiled as I thought of all the time spent with Billie. I remembered one time that we had a double date. Adrienne and Billie Joe with Mike and me.


I stretched as I exited the cramped van. Mike ran ahead of me and then quickly ran back screaming "Fucking god damn idiots! Hurry your asses up." We were at a local theme park. Adrienne kept going into the shops and telling Billie to just go on without her. Mike also kept getting sidetracked and went onto rides I wouldn't dare go on.

"It'll be awesome Gwen!"
"I hate roller coasters."
" I don't want to leave you down here alone. Some guy might try and snatch you from me."
"I'll stay down here with her." Billie insisted he'd make sure no one else laid a hand on me.
"Are you sure? I thought you were dying to get on this ride."
"Nah, my stomachs a little funny today I don't want to throw up on you or anything."
"Alright. Keep a close eye on her."
"I will on my Scout's Honor!"
"You weren't a boy scout."
"I was in my heart."


Billie Joe and I walked over to the tables and sat down. He kept looking at me but quickly turning away. "So, you want some ice cream?" he asked.
"No thanks."
"Well I want some."
"I thought your stomach hurt?"
"No, I just used that as an excuse to not go on the ride."
"I thought you wanted to? You were psyched about it all week."
"I changed my mind.Sure you don't want some ice cream?"
"Umm..I guess I'll get some too."


We ordered our ice cream. Billie kept trying to pay for me. I refused to let him. He eventually snuck the money to the vender when I turned away to sneeze. "You are evil!" I shouted at him as soon as I caught on to what he had done. He just giggled like a school girl and began digging into his ice cream.

"Gwen get up!" I opened my eyes and entered the present. I got up and walked towards Billie. "What do you want?"
"It was going on four.
"I thought I should wake you."
"I was awake. I was up before you trying to wake you up."
"Then why were your eyes closed?"
"I was daydreaming!"
"Right!"
"I was. I swear!"
"Mhmm.."


The doorbell rang and like a little kid I screamed "I'll get it!". I hopped over to the door and opened it. "Howdy Mr. Dirnt!" I squealed to Mike. "You spent the night."
"That's not a very nice hello."
"Hello!!" He hugged me tightly and lifted me up to swing me around.
"Alright. That's how you do it!" I laughed.
"Where's Billie?"
"Why?"
"I need to talk to him."
"About what?"
"A certain someone."
"Who, moi?"
"Yes you."


Billie and Mike walked into Billie Joe's bedroom. They closed the door and I heard their muffled voices. I leaned into the door and got clear crisp sounds coming from inside the room. They weren't only talking about me.

"What?" Billie said that I could recognize his voice out of a crowd of hundred guys while blindfolded.
"I know its a surprise but I just think she's a great girl and I think I should be with her." That was Mike.
"You've been fighting me for forever now and your just giving up that easily?" I was shocked. I had no clue what they were talking about and I damn well deserved to know more.
"I just really like Amber."
"Yeah but Gwen."
"I thought you'd be happy."
"I am but who could possibly beat Gwen?"
"Amber."
"What? How?"
"You've never met Amber but trust me when you, you'll want her."
"I highly doubt that."
"Trust me. She is the hottest thing I've ever seen. She's got so much more then Gwen has!"
"You know what? Go, just go.You don't deserve Gwen."
"Like you do!"
"I am fucking serious, go. I'll break the bad news to Gwen."
"NO! Just tell her we played rock, paper scissors. I lost, you won."
"NO! Why can't I tell her you want someone else?"
"I want to leave the door open."
"Mother Fucker. Get out!"


Billie opened the door the without looking and pushed Mike out into me. I fell over along with Mike. "I'm sorry!" Billie picked me up and held me. "You heard it all didn't you?"
"Yeah." I began to cry.
"It's ok. I'm here for you. Fuck off Mike. Leave me and Gwen alone."


Mike was about to say something but stopped. He just turned around and left Billie's house. "I won't let that door stay open. Even if your not with me I won't let him be with you babe."
"But you are going to be with me."
"If he hadn't of fucked up, who would you of chosen?"
"Honestly, I wasn't sure but I did lean towards you most of the time."
"Good to know."
"I bet it is."
"I love you Gweny."
"I love you Billie Joe."
