Ch. 3
Benji, and the Vision
Billy walked outside and looked back, “Whoa…” He looked forward and looking at the fans screaming and yelling holding things out for him to sign. He smiled and gave his bags to his guard and walked forward, “Hi peeps!” he smiled and walked up to some girl, “How you like the concert?” He asked
She screamed and jumped up and down, “I loved it! You are so cool!” She screamed and held out the cover to his CD
He smiled and grabbed it and grabbed a marker from his pocket, “Awesome and thanks girl.” He smiled at her and signed the cover, “So do you know all my songs?” He asked
She laughed and nodded, “Of course! A fan needs to know the music!” She started digging around in her pocket
Billy looked back at the door nervous thinking, “How did that cell phone get fixed… well… hopefully I don’t need to worry about that guy anymore…”
“Excuse me? Billy?” That girl pulled on his shirt
He blinked and looked at her, “Sorry, yes?” he asked
She held out a camera, “Can I get a picture of you then one of you and me?” She asked
He smiled warmly and nodded, “Sure thing!” He said
“And hold this please.” She said and handed the cover back to him
He grabbed it and held it up, “Like this?” He said smiling
She smiled, “Yeah!” She said and held the camera to her eye, “Hold still…”
He made a cute face holding the cover up
She smiled and laughed and took the picture, “There we go!” She looked around, “Who can take the picture for me and you?” She asked
Billy looked over, “Hey Don!” He yelled to the guard
Don walked up and looked at him
Billy smiled at him, “Can you take the picture for us bud?” He asked
Don nodded and grabbed the camera
Billy held his hands out to the girl
She blinked and looked down at the railing and then looked at him, “You want me to grab your hands?” She asked shakily
He smiled and nodded, “Yeah you need to get over here to take the picture right?” He asked
She nodded and reached forward and grabbed his hands
He smiled and slid his hands under her arms and picked her up and over the railing
She blinked and smiled and looked at him, “You’re strong.” She said
He let go and smiled, “I know… thanks though” He laughed, “So ready?”
She smiled and nodded
He hugged her and put his face to hers
She smiled and hugged him and did the same and they looked at the camera, “Cheese!” She said laughing
Don put the camera up to his eye and took the picture
She started laughing and looked at him, “Can I give you a quick kiss on the cheek?” She asked
He looked at her and smiled and nodded, “Sure!” He said
She smiled and kissed him on the cheek
They both blinked as the camera went off again, she looked over and smiled, “You got that!” She said
Don smiled and nodded and handed the camera back
Billy smiled and looked at the crowd, his eyes went wide
She looked at Billy, “Hey Billy…” She blinked and looked over, “What?”
Billy walked forward, “No way… The house is gone, he should be…” he mumbled
She blinked and walked up and looked over his shoulder where he’s looking, she blinked, “Benji? He died a long time ago.”
Billy looked at her then back into the crowd
Benji stood there in the crowd watching Billy
That girl grabbed her camera and held it up and took a picture of Benji, she started taking others of him, and “I need to see if that’s really him” She whispered to herself and looked at Billy, “Billy?” She pulled on his shirt
Billy stood there watching Benji , “B… B… Benji?”
Benji turned away and started walking into the crowd
Billy ran forward, “Benji!” He yelled and jumped into the crowd and started running through the crowd
Girl started grabbing him and hording around him
Billy started pulling away looking around, “Benji! Come back!” He yelled over the cries of the girls
Benji stepped out of the crowd and looked back at Billy and started walking again
Billy looked over seeing him, “Don’t go! Come back Benji! Please!” Tears came to his eyes as he screamed for his long lost friend
Benji faded away still walking
Billy went limp in the girls arms and closed his eyes, “Benji…” He collapsed slipping from the girls arms
The girls start screaming and looking around, “He’s unconscious!”, “Someone come here! Hurry!”
Don ran up to Billy and shoved the girls back and picked his head up and started shaking him, “Billy… Billy…”
That girl blinked and looked at her camera, “Benji…” She looked up at Billy, “That was him cause I remember seeing his face in the picture in the newspaper… He died in our school library…” She looked over at Billy, “I wonder…” She looked at the camera again and took off running
Next morning 7:00 a.m.
Billy opened his eyes, “Wha…” He looked around
He was in the bus
He blinked and sat up holding his head, “What happened?” He asked himself
The driver looked back at him, “Welcome back, the ambulance came, checked you over, and you were just asleep, strange really.” He looked forward, “I thought you died or something, scared me to death you did!” He started laughing
Billy looked at him, “Oh? Well…” He blinked, “How long have I been… asleep?” He asked
The driver looked up then looked forward, “I near say seven darn hours!” He said
Billy blinked, “Oh… ok…” He laid back down, looking over at the couch he sighed, he looked away and sat up, “Benji…” He remembered and looked down, “He was there…” He closed his eyes
He saw a flash and opened his eyes, “She took a picture!” He remembered and stood up, “I need to find her again… but…” He looked down, “What good would that do?” He covered his face tears forming
The driver blinked and sighed, “Dear boy it will be ok, and you were seeing some darn thing. That happens in a crowd you know?” He said
Billy sighed thinking, “Maybe the house hasn’t gotten out of my life yet? I mean I died and stuff, strange, but Benji looked like he had something on his mind…” He looked out the window and sighed putting his forehead on the window, “Maybe I was seeing things…”
Ring
Billy opened his eyes
Ring
He sat up, “What’s that?” He asked the driver
The driver looked back, “Your cell phone, that darn thing has been ringing off and on every hour I swear!” He looked forward
Billy looked at his bag where the ring was coming from, “I wont open it… I don’t see why this is happening…”
It stopped
Billy blinked and walked forward and opened the bag, swallowing he grabbed his cell phone
Not a scratch
He looked at the number
His home number
He smiled and sighed in relief and dialed his home phone and put it to his ear, “Thank god” he thought
“Hello?” Hilary’s sweet voice
Billy sighed tears going to his eyes, “Hey hun!” He said
“Billy! Thank god! Why haven’t you answer your cell phone?” She asked, the sound of tears in her voice
Billy blinked and smiled, “Sorry… I’ve been asleep, you know how I sleep.” He said lying on the floor
She laughed, “Do I… umm Billy, Mandy’s been acting weird… It’s strange… she wont come out of her room, do anything. I’m worried.” She said
Billy blinked and opened his mouth to talk but the surroundings around him started changing, “What…” He looked at his hand
The phone was gone
He stood up and looked forward
His house
“I’m… home?” He started forward
Hilary screamed
“Hilary!” He screamed and ran forward in the house, “Where are you!” He ran into the living room
The T.V. was on
“Hilary?” He walked forward
A board squeaked
He looked back
Nothing
He walked out of the living room and looked up the steps
Something moved
“Hilary!” He started running up the steps
A door opened
He got to the top and turned as Hilary’s door shut, “Hilary!” He yelled and ran up to the door, grabbing the door he pushed it open, “Mandy… Hilary…”
Mandy and Hilary laid on the bed, both ripped and torn, bleeding, their clothes torn to pieces they looked horrible
Billy walked in, “No…” He walked up to the bed, “Hilary… Mandy… wake up…” He whispered
Gurgling
Billy’s eyes opened, he started to turn around
Something black started to stand up behind him gurgling
“You…” He whispered
It lunged
“Ah!” Billy closed his eyes
“Billy you ok?” Hilary’s voice came to him
Billy opened his eyes and he was in the bus, his hand was shaking horribly, “What? Hilary? Are you ok!” He asked looking around the bus
Hilary started to sound worried, “Yeah.. Are you?” She asked
Billy looked at the driver
He stopped the bus and just got up and walked up to him
Billy nodded slowly, “I’m fine Hilary…” He looked at the driver tears in his eyes, “I want to go home now…” He said
The driver blinked then nodded, “Sure thing…” He walked back to his seat and turned the bus around and started back
Billy looked straight, “Hilary…” he said
“Yeah Billy?”
“Tell Mandy I’m coming home…” He whispered and hung up
