Let me be the one to save you.

***Michelle's pov***

I was at the mall with Jaimy. She was probably trying to 'cheer me up'. But I wasn't even sad or something. I had told her everything a few hours earlier and I had felt really relieved after it. Jaimy was really shocked when she heard about my mom and when I told her about Jason she said something about wanting to kick him in the nuts. She had almost hugged me to death. I didn't cry when I told her though, unlike when I told everything to Frank. Maybe just because I was prepared for it this time. She was surprised about me staying with Frank. But she knew that staying at her place wouldn't really be an option because her parents are really uptight.

We were looking at clothes in some shop that Jaimy had probably walked in. I suddenly came up with an idea. “Jaim! I wanna dye my hair again!” The purple streaks I had had pretty much faded away by now and I felt like doing something different with my hair again. Jaimy's eyes widened. “Omg yes! Can I pick the colour!?” She said with puppy eyes. “Maybe..” Then she pretty much dragged me to a somewhat alternative shop, where they sell Manic Panic hair dye.
Jaimy immediately walked up to a shelf and grabbed a bottle of pink hair dye from it. The label said 'Hot hot pink'. I gave her a really sarcastic look. “What?! You said I could choose!” She sounded like a five-year-old and I saw the girl behind the cash register laugh quietly at her. “No I definitely did not say that.” I ignored her and looked at the bottles of hair dye. Hm. 'After Midnight Blue' seemed kinda cool. I showed it to Jaimy but she just pointed at the pink one, pouting. I sighed. She pulled out her phone. “Let's ask Frank and Gerard what they think!” She said. I just shrugged. After a few minutes her phone buzzed, Frank had sent her something back.“Just do both..” Jaimy read out loud. I thought about that for a while. Well that seems pretty logical. I could live with that.. It actually sounded pretty cool. The guys are smarter than we sometimes think. We bought the hair dye and walked out again.

Now we were walking to my favourite record store. I want to buy some new CD's, I haven't bought any in quite some time. We walked in to the store and I immediately started browsing through the CD's. Jaimy sat down at the tiny sofa in the store. She started reading some magazine. I was looking at the back of a CD and walking at the same time when I bumped into some guy who worked there.

“S-sorry.” I stuttered. When I looked up, I saw that it was a guy from school. We're in the same year but he's in the other form. I believe his name is Billie Joe Armstrong. I blushed a soft pink. “It's okay.” He said and smiled. He looked at the CD's I was holding. “You've got some great music taste. You're Michelle right?” I nodded. Billie Joe is a really good looking guy. I noticed that he had green eyes and I liked his hair. “I didn't know that we had such cool girls at school.” He said. That made me blush again. “Thanks.” I shyly said. I was acting a little awkward, like I pretty much always do with people I don't really know, especially with guys. He started talking about music which made me feel a little more comfortable and we just talked for about ten minutes.

I saw him hesitate for a while before he said: “I would like to talk to you some more, do you wanna hang out? My shift is over in 15 minutes.” I smiled. “Maybe next time, my friend is waiting for me over there.” I said pointing at Jaimy, who was still reading. He nodded, a little disappointed, and we walked up to the cash register where I paid for my CD's.

When we were outside, Jaimy asked what I had bought. I handed her the plastic bag where Billie Joe had put the CD's in. She took some CD's out and suddenly she took out a piece of paper. “What's that?” I asked. “I don't know.. It's a number...” I looked at the piece of paper and then at Jaimy. Her eyes widened. “Maybe that guy behind the cash register wrote it down for you! He's in our school right?” I thought about that for a while. “Ehm, I don't know. It can't be from someone else I guess..” She curiously looked at me. “Why aren't you excited? You don't like him?” I didn't really know. “Well, he's kinda cute I guess..” "Then you've got to call him sometime!"

A few weeks ago I probably would've instantly liked Billie Joe, but I didn't really feel any butterflies or excitement or something. Which was kinda weird because when I was new at school, I actually thought that he was the best looking dude in the whole school. Although.. there's one person of who I kinda always thought he was even cuter. But I would never speak that thought out loud.

Jaimy shouted in my ear, waking me up from my thoughts. “MICHELLE!” “What?” “What where you thinking about?” I shrugged. We got into Jaimy's car and she drove us to her place, to dye my hair.


***10 days later***

***Frank's pov***
I was making my way to school. The weather was quite nice today so I had decided to go walking. I left a little early, so I didn't have to walk to school with Michelle. Today is valentine's day and I have to put the note into her locker. Yesterday I had finished the song. It's not perfect, and not even completely finished.. but it's good enough for now, I personally think that it's quite good.
I had had a lot of fun making music with Gerard, he has helped me really well with writing the song. We're thinking about starting a band with Mikey and Ray. I mean, why not? We often hang out and jam, and it always sounds pretty good. And it has always kinda been my dream to play in a band and make a living out of that. When I told Gerard my idea, he got really excited and he said he was going to ask Mikey and Ray today. He also told me that he had written a song when he was new at school, 3 years ago or something. It's called: “I'm not okay.” Or something like that. I haven't heard it yet but Gerard's just really good at writing so it's probably awesome. This band thing might even work out.
I arrived at school and made my way to Michelle's locker, making sure that nobody who knows Michelle noticed me. After hesitating for a while, I put the note into the locker and walked away. Well. There's no going back now. I'm pretty curious about if she will figure out that it's mine. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Notes

ANY IDIOTS HERE? I love Green Day, so I decided to name the character Billie Joe. c:

Okay, so this one might have been a little boring, but there will happen more in the next chapter! Oh and at the last bit of this chapter I suddenly couldn't put in blank lines or something so I hope that that didn't annoy you.

I'm planning on posting the next chapter this weekend, but I also have a shit load of homework so I'll just try my best.

You might have noticed that I have changed the name from 'Run away with me?' to 'Let me be the one to save you'. (Bulletproof heart) I hope you like it. :)
