Disclaimer: Don't own Jamie (life is tragic isn't it?) or any other IAHB character. The song is by Robbie Williams.
Author's Notes: I have to be honest with you guys I have been wanting to set of stories like this since I first borrowed Robbie's The Ego Has Landed from my friend. I just thought that the songs really fit what I thought Bobbie and Jamie's relationship was. Enjoy!
Old Before I Die
Chapter 1
She's taking me places
I should never have been
She showin' me faces
I should never have seen
Well these are strange days we're livin' in today
Cest la vie I say
"How late are you going to be gone?" Fifteen year old Jamie Waite's mother asked him as leaned against the blue kitchen counter drinking a can of soda in order to try to quell his nerves for his first date.
"I don't know," Jamie said trying to sound cool as he prepared to take another swig of his soda and his mother finished cleaning up from dinner, "Late,"
"How late?" His mother demanded using the tone of voice only a women who had lived through putting 8 kids through high school and still had three enrolled could use.
"One," Jamie said tossing his soda can into the recycling can. He wasn't sure if was going to stay out that late, but this was first time going out with Bobbi so he didn't know what she was going to be like.
"Try again," Anna Waite nudged her second youngest (by one minute) and most trying of her eleven children.
"Midnight," Jamie hopefully equipped.
"I don't think so," Anna skillfully argued, "Peter stays out till midnight and he's a senior. Try again,"
Jamie groaned audibly, thinking not the first time in his life, that the position of being the oldest (which also meant being the guinea pig) was so wasted on his older sister, Nikkei, "Eleven- thirty! Do you know how f@*#in' early that is?"
"Watch your language! Do you want to be even able to go tonight?" Anna snapped in a tone that Jamie could just feel the anger begin to boil back and it made him admit defeat.
"Ok, I'll be back by eleven,"
"Good. I love you," She told as he headed out the door and she went back to her cleaning.
***********************************************************
Jamie was waiting outside the walls that enclosed his family's gigantic brick house when Bobbi "the Bullet" Paris pulled up in her sleek black car with music blasting out it, that Jamie was happy to note was that the same that had been blasting out of his own bedroom no less than an hour ago.
"So have you ever gotten wasted before, James?" She asked him with a wild twinkle in her eye.
************************************************************
Jamie stumbled up the steps of the inside of his house at exactly 11:01 (Bobbi had dropped him off at 10:59 and he somehow made it to the door by 11:00) hoping that exhilaration of his first wild night would last, so he would have no time to feel guilt before he passed out of exhaustion in his bed, but he never made it there.
A/N: I hoped you liked it and will be willing to let me know you're thoughts whatever they may be. Also, about how I wrote the swear word; I don't swear, but Jamie was pissed off and really wanted his mom to be as mad as he was. So I allowed it, but just this once or so he promised, but I've warned him that if he gets any more colorful I'm raising the rating.
