(A/N): Well people, in the last chapter Cece, Deuce, Gunther, and Bill were going into a building that they suspect Rocky is in. Is she actually in it though? You never know.
As Bill turned the corner to walk into a room on the side of the main entrance as Gunther led Deuce into the other side of the entrance to do the same. When he and Cece stepped into the room, the sight made Cece scream. Lying on the floor was Rocky; her arm badly cut and blood everywhere. Bill let out a loud whistle and called out to the others, " She's over here guys." He then ran up and put his fingers to her pulse point. "I got a pulse, and a pretty good one," said Bill putting his hand on her shoulder and lightly shaking her. "Rocky, wake up…Rocky, Wake Up…ROCKY WAKE UP!" said Bill getting louder each time. She started to stir and her eyes flittered open. "No! Please stay away," Rocky said in a frightened manner. "Rocky, we're trying to get you back home," said Cece stepping closer, which only made Rocky move further back.
"No, I'm not going back," she stated in a matter of fact voice. "Rocky, please. We are trying to help you, and I know it sounds cliché," said Bill stepping closer. All of a sudden her eyes burned with white-hot fury. "Uh oh," said Bill stepping back as Rocky launched forward. In an instant she was right in front of him hit him in the mouth making him stumble back as she pulled back for another hit. "Rocky no," screamed Cece as she grabbed Rocky's arm, causing her to turn and swing at Cece. She then realized who she was about to hit and pulled away from Cece as Bill stood up and wiped his bloody mouth. Deuce and Gunther sat there with a shocked. Then Gunther rushed forward and wrapped her in a bear hug to keep her from hitting anyone. Instead of fighting, Rocky just broke down crying and just stood there. "Shhh, it's ok Rocky, I got you," whispered Gunther soothingly, "Come on let's get you home." They all filed out with Rocky and Gunther in front Deuce in the middle followed by Cece then Bill. "Hey, Bill you OK?" asked Deuce turning to Bill. "Yeah, but son of a female dog she got a good swing," replied Bill.
When they arrived back at the apartments Rocky's parents and Ms. Jones were waiting on them. "Rocky!" yelled Ms. Blue. "Come on Rocky, we need to get you to the hospital," said Ms. Jones escorting them to her patrol car. They all found somewhere to ride except for Bill who stood by the building. "Bill, come on," said Cece. "I don't think so Cece," said Bill leaning off the building with a slight smile. "What are you talking about," asked Cece with a confused look. "She's your friend, that and you seen the way she looked at me. It's like she wanted to kill me," said Bill looking up toward the top of a nearby building. "Come on Bill, please!" pleaded Cece, her eyes starting water. "Cece, don't cry. You know I will always be on your side, but right now you need to go with Rocky more than I need to be there, OK?" said Bill wiping away her tears with his left hand. "Are you saying that you don't want to be with me?" asked Cece distraughtly. "No Cece-," Bill began. "Save it maybe we should just break up," said Cece shoving his hand away. Bill's smile immediately was gone. His look changed to one that couldn't be deciphered. "If that's the way you want it," he said spinning on his heel and walking away.
"Yo, Cece, let's go!" yelled Ty from his mother's car. Cece turned still crying and walked to the car. "Cece, what's wrong?" asked Deuce. "Me and Bill just broke up," she replied before she broke down crying and they couldn't get a clear answer from her the rest of the time.
Later that night, Bill was getting on his computer. He then logged onto his chat through e-mail.
Shotgun-Bill: Wat's up fella's
Mach5 HQ: Nothing much, wat up with you?"
Shotgun-Bill: Nothin' much, but I have been thinking
Mach5 HQ: That ain't ever good
Shotgun-Bill: Ain't it though, but like I said, when I come back to V'burg I'm going to give ya'll the reins to M5
Mach5 HQ: Man what u talkin' bout
Shotgun-Bill: I'm quitting the band
Mach5 HQ: But Bill man you got to stay, you our front man and the only person that can play a guitar like Ole' Blue
Shotgun-Bill: Ya'll just have to find someone else
Mach5 HQ: Just think about it before you do
Shotgun-Bill: I'ight but I'm still coming back home for a good while either way
Mach5 HQ: Deal, talk to ya later
Shotgun-Bill: Alright guys, catch ya on the other side
Mach5 HQ: You never could step out of the old days could you
Shotgun-Bill: Dang straight
Bill then closed his computer and stood up and walked over to his guitar. He once again took it out side and set it up. He then started playing singing Here Without You.
A hundred days have made older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I could look at this the same
But all the miles have separate
They disappear now
And I'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me.
He stopped playing and sat back and looked up at the sky. All he could see was a cloud like form. "Ugh, I can't wait to get back to Vicksburg. At least there you can see the stars at night," said Bill in disgust. "Why did I have to act like a mule to Cece, I hope she hates me now. It would serve me right," said Bill standing up and walking toward the rail. He then grabbed his pick off the window frame. He then hit a Nu Metal rock chord and then started to rap:
Yeah, here we go for the hundredth time
Hand-grenade pins in every line
Throw 'em up and let somethin shine
Going out of my f %$ mind
Filthy mouth, no excuse
Find a new place to hang this noose
String me up from the top these roofs
Knot it tight so I won't get loose
Truth is you can stop and stare
Bled myself out, no one cares
I dug a trench out
And laid down there
With the shovel out of reach somewhere
Yeah, someone pour it in
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When I bring that chorus in!
I bleed it out
Dig it deeper
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Dig it deeper just to THROW it away
I bleed it out
Dig it deeper
Just to throw it away, just to throw it away, just throw it away
I bleed it out
Go
Start the show
Chop your words into a sloppy flow
Shotgun, opera
Lock and load
Cock it back 'n' watch it go
Mama, help me I've been cursed
Death is rolling in every verse
Candy paint on his brand new hearse
I can't contain it and I know it works
Cha' this hurts
I won't lie
Doesn't matter how hard I try
When half the words don't mean a thing
And I know that I won't be satisfied
So why try ignoring it
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in.
He then hit a hard strike on the strings to make them sound loudly. He didn't give a care who heard. "Bill," said a timid voice. He turned around to see who had spoken to him. Standing beside him was a brunette that stood about his height with darkly tanned skin and a bandaged arm. At first Bill could have sworn it was Rocky. But her face was different and her hair was much lighter. "Pardon my rudeness, but who are you?" asked Bill. "Oh, I'm sorry to disturb you, but my name is Abigail and I live above you. I was wondering if you could potentially lower the volume?" she asked timidly. Bill shot her a smile and patted the rail beside him motioning for her to come closer. "Well, I'm sorry to disturb you Abby, it is OK if I call you Abby isn't it?" said Bill. "Yeah, uh I think I need to go, sorry for interrupting you," she said quickly. "Hey, you ain't messed me up. And what's your rush it's only…" Bill said checking his watch, " oh 10:00, my bad. I guess I better let you get back to sleep." She laughed and said bye.
"Oh. My. Godfather," said Rocky watching Bill and her neighbor out her window. "He's cheating on Cece, I got to tell her. She then pulled out her phone and texted Cece.
Rocky: Cece I just saw Bill outside with another girl cheating on you
Cece: No, Rocky he wasn't cheating on me
Rocky: Cece, I just saw him
Cece: Rocky he isn't cheating on me b/c we broke up
Rocky: What? When? Why?
Cece: After we got you back here and b/c he said he doesn't want to spend time with me, well not exactly in those exact words
Rocky: What were his exact words? Type your entire conversation.
Cece: "Bill, come on," I said. "I don't think so Cece," he said. "What are you talking about," I asked "She's your friend, that and you seen the way she looked at me. It's like she wanted to kill me," he replied. "Come on Bill, please!" I had pleaded. "Cece, don't cry. You know I will always be on your side, but right now you need to go with Rocky more than I need to be there, OK?" he said. "Are you saying that you don't want to be with me?" I asked distraughtly. "No Cece-," he had begun. "Save it maybe we should just break up," I had said. "If that's the way you want it," he said.
Rocky: Cece, you air head, that's not what he said. He said he wanted you to go to the hospital with me and that he was going to wait on you
Cece: What?
Rocky: That's right dufus; he still wanted to be your boyfriend. But you just messed it up.
Cece: Oh no, now he probably hates me. And you don't have to be so mean.
Rocky: You have to apologize to him
Cece: Right, thanks Rocks
Cece then got dressed and ran out of her apartment. She skidded to a stop in front of Bill's apartment. She then started to beat on it like a jackhammer. "Bill, please open the door," she pleaded. After a few minutes Bill answered her. "Yes Cece," Bill said with a rock hard expression. "Bill, I'm sorry for what I said outside, please take me back," she pleaded starting to cry. "Cece, I forgive you," said Bill softening his expression and wiping away her tears. "So you'll take me back?" she asked hopefully "Yes I will," said Bill. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" yelled Cece jumping up and giving Bill and hug while jumping up and down. "Alright now go back to bed, I'll see you in the morning," said Bill giving her a kiss on the forehead. "You ain't going to be playing that guitar any more are you?" asked Cece jokingly. "Not anymore," replied Bill.
(A/N): So thanks for reading the story so far.I don't know what I'm doing right or wrong if you don't tell me so you guys should seriously review. And I just wanted to tell you that the part after Bill and Cece's break-up was pretty much inspired by a couple of songs: Here Without You, So Happy, and Sorry. They're by 3 Doors Down, Theory of a Deadman, and Gary Allan respectively. Look 'em up since until ya'll review, no more chapters.
