The First Time I Caught A Glimpse of You
Chapter 8
Billie Joe's P.O.V.
I wonder what Sarah does think of me. She probably thinks I'm a jerk for all the things I've done to get her back for her shenanigans. Everyone at Gilman waits for one of us to say something to the other. Some of it has gotten kind of gruesome. I've said some things that I shouldn't have. Should I go see her? Would she like that? .
After laying in bed thinking for awhile, I decided that I'd get dressed and go visit Sarah on this cold December morning. I grabbed a t-shirt and some jeans and some boxers, then jumped into the shower. I was the only one home this morning, so getting ready wouldn't take long at all. I got out of the shower and brushed my teeth. I was too nervous to eat. I grabbed my coat, left my mom a note, and started walking to Sarah's. It was extremely cold outside. It was a good hours walk to her house. She lived in Berkeley. I walked passed Gilman on the way to her house. It was closed for Christmas. It was funny because they usually didn't close for anything. I sighed and continued walking.
I had been to Sarah's a few times, but she always hid in her room. She was kind of shy. Tod and I weren't the best of friends, but we were okay with each other. When I got to her street, I got extremely nervous. I started sweating and my heart started racing. I had to take deep breaths to prevent a panic attack. I kept walking and thinking of what I'd say when I saw her, and if I'd look stupid. When I got to her house, I saw her sitting outside.
I walked slowly toward her. She was crying. I hated seeing her cry. I sat down on the porch swing next to her.
"Hey." I said softly.
"Hi." She replied wiping her tears and trying to smile.
"Everything okay?" I asked gently, knowingit wasn't."
br><br>"No." Was all she managed to say because she started crying harder.
"Wanna talk about it?" I asked hoping she'd let me inside of her head.
"My mom left us. And now John is saying that it's all my fault." She said sobbing hard.
"Oh Sarah." Was all I managed to say before wrapping her in a hug.
I didn't realized that I had hugged her until she hugged me back. She was crying onto my shoulder. I felt like she actually needed me. After a few minutes she pulled away and apologized for getting my shirt full of tears and snot. I laughed and brushed her hair out of her face. I asked her if she was hungry and offered to get her something to eat in town. She nodded and we headed back towards Gilman. We ended up walking to my house. My mom was home when we got there. My mom knew that I had feelings for someone, but she didn't know who. She knew about me being active. I think she could tell that I really felt differently about Sarah. She smiled when we walked in. I introduced them, and asked my mom if she'd make us breakfast. She agreed, and said she'd make pancakes. I took Sarah into the living room, and we both sat quietly for awhile. Sarah started crying again a few moments later. I went at sat next to her and held her until my mom came in. She asked Sarah if she was okay, and hugged her. I think she liked her. Sarah nodded and sat back down.
"I'm sorry that I can't stop crying." She said trying to laugh a little.
"It's no problem at all. Anytime you need a shoulder, it's only a call away." I said.
She laughed a little. I couldn't help but wrap my arms around her. She looked so lonely, and not to mention really cute when her nose was all red. We went into the kitchen and sat down. We ate and talked for awhile. I couldn't help but stare at her. Everytime she'd catch me she'd smile and blush, then turn her head. After we ate, we walked outside. I said that I'd give her a ride home since the car was back. She said she wanted to walk. I told her I'd walk her home. She smiled and said okay.
********Okay so I lied, Billie isn't a nazi. But it made you read the story didn't it? Sorry, I had to. If you don't want to ready anymore stories, I understand. But thanks for making it this far. :)*******
