Mike and I came home from our lunch/dinner. It was good and... I liked that Mike said I love you back, which made me feel good. I looked on the table for the envelope that I had placed there before we left. 

"I thought I placed the letter right here?" 

"What did you say, Billie?"

"Oh, I put this letter on the counter I thought... but maybe I didn't"

Mike's mother walked through the kitchen and heard our conversation.

"Did you say something about a letter?" she said

"Uh yeah"

Mike's mother looked around nervously. I know she did something to the letter. 

Was it possible that Mike's family knew my mother?

" Hmm, that's weird, I have never seen one. I'll let you know if I see it, ok"

"K..." 

Mike and I went up to his room. I sat on the couch that he had, got on my phone to check if I had any messages. Nothing. Mike sat next to me on the couch. I rested my head on his shoulder. 

"Hey, I need to head into town, do you want to come with me?"

"No, I'm going to stay here"

"Are you sure?" 

"Yeah" 

Mike got up and left the room, leaving me all by my self. I had fallen asleep shortly after. When I woke up, there was an envelope laying on the floor next to the door.  The envelope read: To Billie Joe. Clearly it was for me, I opened the letter read: 

 Clearly it was for me, I opened the letter read:

My heart started to race after reading this. I was happy, I started to cry tears of joy. Mike came upstairs, he ran over to me as he saw me crying.

"Bill what's wrong. I was only gone for an hour" Mike said 

I handed Mike the letter for him to read

"Billie, this is great!" Mike hugs me again 

"I want to go meet her"

"Right now?"

"Sure why not"

We drove to the address that Ollie had given me. I stepped out of the truck, Mike behind me. I stepped onto the porch

"Well arnt you going to knock?" Mike asked

My heart started to race. It felt like there were butterflies in my stomach

"Mike I'm scared" I pleaded

"Why, it's your mother"

"I know but-"

Mike knocked on the door

"Mike what the hell"

"Someone had to do it" Mike teased

I gave Mike a friendly punch

"Ow" Mike teased again

A lady around 40 opened the door

"Can I help you?" She said

"I- I'm Billie Joe"

The lady looks at me in shock

"Oh my gosh Billie" She cried

She walked over and hugged me tight. She invited Mike and I inside.

We talked what felt like hours. I told Ollie that it was time for me to go. Mike had left a few minutes earlier to do homework. I said goodbye. And left
