Chapter 15: Cry for help
I was really looking at Shilo in a new perspective, she was so strong. I honestly don't see how she could do it sometimes. I on the other hand would rather have a drug addict mom then not have one at all, then at least I could try to help her change her habits. I couldn't even help her in the situation Bryan put us all in. The ass hole.
I didn't mind hearing Shilo talk about her life, because all in all venting was the best for the human body. It got all the pent up stress and stuff out of your system. Something I didn't really know too much about, but I'll try my best to do something about it in the future. It wasn't about my problems today, it was about Shilo. She was so fragile, but put on a tough front so no one could crack her. Besides her caring friends that is. It made me feel special.
She was taking deep breaths now, trying to calm herself before launching into her story. The only sounds were of Georg's lousy cars transmission and Jake's whispers to whoever Thomas was on the phone. I'm assuming he was whoever looked after their mother.
She gave a shaky sigh. "Mind as well get this shit over with, it'll make me feel so much better." I have her hand a great squeeze and she leaned her head in the crook of my neck. Poor girl. "Well Thomas is the one running the rehab or whatever the hell you want to call it. He called to say she's going to be looked after properly." She sniffled. "I mean what should it matter? She's been to rehab before and every time she's out she always goes back to the drugs."
She started up again after the long awaited silence. "Our dad recently contacted me saying he might drop in to make a brief check up."
"Bullshit!" Tom exploded. "That man left, knowing he was leaving you with a crack addict mom!" I was expecting Shilo to get rude back at him for trashing her mom, but she only gave a sad smile. God. Shilo and Tom really were perfect for each other, they were one of a kind.
"I know." She sighed. "Well that's basically it really. She's been found out by an anonymous tip that they think she might have been doing drugs, and all that jazz, and well, now she's in rehab." She wiped her nose on the inside of her collar. "Thanks you guys for letting us stay at you house. It means so much to both of us." She concluded.
"It really does mean a lot to me too, even though I don't show it." Jake said sadly. I knew he meant it, but he was going to start to have to show it around here. Because frankly, I was getting super sick of well; him in general.
Like Bill read my mind, he almost went off on Jake, but he did it in a calm manner. "Yeah, well I think if it means that much to you, then you need to start acting like it. Because coming into someone's home and harassing them is not a good way to show gratitude and thanks." I snuggled into Bill, and if he slung his arm around my waist, pulling him tighter to himself. I saw Shilo visibly grin at us.
I waited for Jake to strike back with a very rude comment but it didn't really happen.
Jake inhaled to say something back, but Georg hopped on that opportunity. "Dude. If you're thinking about saying something harsh to my best friends back there, then I'd better check yourself, because I don't mind back handing someone and sending them out on the side of the road." He said it with barely letting out a single breath. I adored Georg for that, he was so confident and not scared to put someone in their place.
Jake let out a breath in frustration. "Okay, I get it, I'm sorry for everything I've done since I've been at your alls house. Bad talking Bill, calling out Abby, basically being a downright horrible person. And I deserved the shiner Abby gave me."
"Are you actually apologizing?" Shilo said in a super shocked tone, like she could have never believed it if someone else told her.
He shrugged. "I mean, if we have to live with them for who knows how long I might as well stay on everyone's good side."
"Which you've been failing to do." Bill said. "But I understand, and I forgive you." I tapped Bill's belly, because that's the only thing I could reach with my smashed position.
Forgive him for me too. I shrugged. I might as well turn over a new leaf with him. But don't apologize for his face, he definitely deserved it.
Bill gave a big laugh and messed up my hair a bit, I was out of luck because I couldn't fix it. "Abby forgives you too. So I guess we could at least try to work it out, or stay away from each other."
I like the staying away from each other idea best.
"Me too," He said back. He didn't wait for a response when he suddenly changed topics. "Georg, you should definitely turn it on a music station." He looked down at me. "Preferably American music?" I nodded and the whole car laughed.
Georg messed with his dumb radio for a while, most of it was pretty much static. "Damn! I finally got it!" He said. And familiar sounds of The Killers; Mr. Brightside filled the car. This brought back memories. My mom was in love with this song.
"Ah so you know the song Kitten?" Georg asked excitedly.
"Kitten?" Tom asked rather confused sounding.
"Long story." Georg replied. "Anyways, don't you just love The Killers?" He asked me.
I shrugged. I didn't really know a lot by them, my mom mainly liked them. Someone was my favorite song about them, I could relate to it. I gave a silent laugh. No need to clue them in on that embarrassing piece of information.
The ride was going to be super long before we actually got to the Fair, we were going on the highway looking for an exit to stop off for some gas and food. Since we didn't eat at all before we left. I was honestly about to pass out, I was getting really tired. So the last thing I remember was positioning myself to where I was sitting sideways on Bill's lap and putting my head under his chin. Screw the cops and their seatbelt policies. I was tired.
I drifted off.
XxX
"Lovely! Time for a food break, you have to get up and eat something." Bill's sweet voice cooed in my ear. Oh how I'd love to wake up like this every time I decided to go for a nap.
I gave a hearty yawn and opened my eyes. We were alone in the car, and I had somehow found myself off of Bill's lap. Where are we? And how long have I been asleep? Simple questions really.
He smirked down at me, he was sort of positioned on top of me. "Well, we've just pulled into the first gas station we saw, and you slept for about an hour or so."
My eyebrows came together in confusion. Really? An hour isn't too long, and I feel really refreshed. I thought for a moment. Why'd we stop here?
"Georg needs gas, and Tom of course is super hungry like usual." He rolled his eyes. "Are you hungry?" I nodded. "Good." He pulled me up, closer to him. "You'll just love good ole gas station food. It's still early, they might have breakfast foods in there if we hurry."
I nodded and threw open the door, I realized then how hungry I really was. Crying must have given me an appetite, because right now, I felt like I could eat a giant vegetable sculpted cow. Lame I know. We jogged up to the huge looking gas station, it was a bit cold outside, so we picked up our pace. As soon as we made it inside Shilo motioned for me to come see her.
"Have you ever tasted this?" She asked me, holding up a metal can with perspiration falling off of it. It looked like something an energy drink would come in. I shook my head, I don't think I've ever seen that before in my life. "Well this is the most amazing drink ever I thought I could only find it in Australia, but I was wrong." She thrusted one my way. "It's called V, you have to try it." I nodded happily and took it from her.
We both made our way to the little food counter. I've never known a gas station to sell food like this before. Eggs, sausages, hash browns, pancakes, and bacon was all setting around the boys. Wow, I was in food heaven. I plopped down next to Bill and he took my hand in his. I placed the V next to me in the booth. "Eat up." Bill said to me. "Were going to have a long day ahead of us."
I took a nice portion of the eggs onto my plate and drowned them in syrup. Bill gave me a questioning gaze as I popped a mouthful into my mouth. What their really good! He didn't look like he believed me, so I took a forkful and held it out to him. I slid it into his mouth and his eyes lit up.
"Wow Abby, that really is good." He chewed as he talked with his mouth full. "Georg pass the syrup!"
Apparently we all ate before we had to pay, and Bill paid for me, as Tom paid for Shilo. Gentlemen for sure. As we were in line I cracked open the V and took a huge drink of it, it made me cough because I want used to the flavor. I could feel the tingles going up and down my spine, yeah this stuff was amazing. I was going to be fueled for the rest of the day.
We all hopped back into the car. Forward on our journey…
XxX
By the time we all arrived at the Fair it was well into the afternoon, since Georg's car decided to have issues. It was starting to get dark out, but that wasn't going to stop me from having a lot of fun with the guys. Well mainly Bill, since we all broke off at the park entrance, we were to meet when it closed. In a few hours to be exact. Today was going to be fun!
"Where do you want to go first lovely?" Bill asked, looking down at me. Our hands were entwined.
I shrugged. I don't know where to begin! This place is so huge, so maybe you should pick, since I've never been before?
"Definitely!" He seemed too excited about everything. "We're going to have to ride that!" He was looking for any signs of a long line, and when he saw that it was empty he gave an excited tug on my hand. Jeez Bill could act like a little kid sometimes. I laughed as he pulled me up the giant wooden steps of Twisted Sister. "This ride is going to make you freak!"
Why's that? I don't really get scared of roller coasters that easy. They were more fun than anything, they made me scream and laugh.
"Well, there are two coasters going at once, and it makes us think were going to run into the other carts at some point?" He said sounding even confused for him. "And when we fall into the tunnel it takes our picture!" He exclaimed. I was out of breath when we finally made it to the top level of the ride. "Front or back?" Bill asked me.
Definitely back, it feels like we get to go faster. We both filed into the cart together, but they made us wait for more people to ride it. Surprisingly we saw Georg hop into the cart in the front without anyone. Poor Georg, he must be roaming the part alone. Suddenly I was pulled out of my thoughts as cameras started flashing around me and Bill.
"Paparazzi." He muttered under his breath while I tried to shield myself. Wow these people would stop at nothing to get what they desired.
Then a round of questions happened started going on amongst the crowd of frenzied people. Bill is she your girlfriend? Why are you holding hands? When were you planning on telling your fans that your taken? Sooner better than later? How about the new tour coming up? Sweetheart what's your name? One of the nicer one asked me. I didn't answer, just kept my head tucked under Bill's arm, which was around my back.
The Twisted Sister intercom came on then. "Please step away from the roller coaster, it's about to be in motion. And I hope you all have a nice day in the local fair." Her voice sounded almost automatic, but I could see her as she pulled the lever and made the coaster launch in motion.
"Get ready! This is my favorite ride here at the fair, keep your eyes open and it'll be worth it." I nodded as the coaster climber its way up, and I clenched on for dear life as it made its fast plunge down the dark and scary tunnel. I'm pretty sure both my arms were around Bill's body as the picture was snapped.
The only thing you could hear was shrieks and Bill's soft laughter in my ear, that's the only sound that mattered. I cant believe it. For the first time in years I was genuinely having a good time, laughing, screaming, no fear. And you know what? It felt great. I wish I could live like this everyday. I could if I came clean with my demons, but I don't think it'll happen soon.
"Did you love it?" Bill's voice caught me off guard as I came back to my senses I couldn't help to notice that we were back at the starting place of the coaster. He didn't wait for my response as he unbuckled us and raced to see our pictured.
I wish he'd slow down a bit, he was like a little kid with too much caffeine in their systems. I was definitely regretting not being able to properly sleep last night, it was weighing down my very being and I was trying not to let it show. But I knew it was, since I wasn't really lively. Besides my earlier V, I was fueling solely on breakfast food from the ratty gas station. I was definitely going to snap at Bill before this night was over with.
I had to admit, our picture was pretty funny though. My eyes were closed and my arms encircled Bills frame, as he was looking down at me with a sweet look on his face while laughing. I tugged on his arm and he looked at me expectantly. We have to buy this, I think it's so cute!
"My thoughts exactly." We bought two medium sized copies of the picture and shoved it in the backpack. "How'd you survive the paparazzi?"
I shrugged as we walked on. They were really pushy, and I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of them.
"Same here, I think their lurking on us somewhere, probably right now even." I laughed at his expression. "We might as well make the most of it right?" I nodded as he entwined our fingers and slung our hands back and forth between us.
We weren't really riding many rides, since I told him I felt a little sick, which wasn't a lie. And I was deathly tired, and I think I needed sugar. Ever felt like that before? Like you needed a good dose of soda, and then you'd feel better? We were passing many booths and funny acts. There were jugglers to in progress singers looking for spare change. Bill even gave them a few dollars, I swear he was so sweet. His heart was always in the right place.
You should buy me some cotton candy. I said up to him. We had stopped in the way of many people, and they were forced to walk around us. We were facing each other with both of our hands entwined.
His head tipped to the side in a cute way. "Oh really now?" I nodded in excitement. "You like the pink kind?" Another nod. "Good me too, we can share." He said happily.
Pretty soon we were on our way walking again, sharing our cotton candy. I made our way to a bench, god I needed to have a seat for a while. My whole body was aching. "You okay lovely?" He asked, concerned.
I nodded. I just wished I slept better last nigh, I feel so exhausted. I'm sorry I'm keeping you from doing what you want and riding what you want. I did feel bad.
"No need to worry." He said sweetly, pulling off a chuck of cotton candy and holding it to my lips. I took it in my mouth along with the tip of his finger, I sucked the sweetness off of it. It made me blush too. "I'm having so much fun with you right now its not even funny."
I felt so warm under his gaze. Billa, you have to be the sweetest person I've ever met in my whole life.
He placed his hand on the side of my face and leaned down slowly. I knew what was going to happen next. "You really think so?" He asked. I didn't reply, only responded with a kiss on his awaiting lips. In the distance I could see fireworks going off. I closed my eyes, living in the moment never felt so nice.
That's when the paparazzi lept out from behind us with cameras. Damn. This was going to put a damper on Bill's career, or it was going to hurt many fan girls when news was published into the local magazines and newspapers. They were in a shock though. We weren't even dating.
I would need to have a talk with Bill about this soon…
More like today…
