This is Dustin.....the guy people dont Know and who Hate.
I did no such thing as to MAKE Billy come with me to Indiana. I quite simply asked and gave her the opportunity to come with me. This opportunity she took on her own.
I asked her to come and visit me for a 3 day period. My mother said I could have her stay with me.
She then lied and said that she never said that and told me and Billy to leave as soon as we got there.......in other words we had no where to go and nowhere to stay. I lived over 2 hours from Tampa and we had no way of getting her back. There was no transportation. My friends said it was to far to drive her back. It was inevitable the outcome of the whole thing. We tried getting her back and nothing worked. We were out in the storm for over 3 days ( no shelter, no food, all wet clothes). Please picture yourself in her shoes and think of what YOU would do in that situation. I was going to Indiana anyways. I offered her a way out of that situation. I really didnt want to leave her in Arcadia all by herself and so I tried to help her the best I could. She called Chris and asked him to give her a ride home. The answer was basically no. Not the exact word, but as I said basically. Same outcome. I gave her the opportunity and she took it. I am sorry for all the stuff that this decision has caused. She still wishes she could have talked to you all before she left. She is still sad about all of this and thinks you hate her. I tried to help the best I could. I will ask you to not hate me for this. I understand that you miss Billy very much and blame me for it. I am sorry. I only tried to help her. We were desperate and that was the only opportunity she had.

Also, as has been said earlier, if Billy had the means to get to Indiana, then she most certainly had the means to get to Tampa.
And how DARE you have the nerve to twist Chris's words. He told Billy BEFORE she went to go visit you that she NEEDED to have a means of transportation BACK to Tampa because he didn't have the money to pay for gas to take a 4 hour trip to and from Arcadia. It's not like he didn't WANT to go pick her up, he COULDN'T. Let's also think Logic, Dustin, while we're at it. It's in the middle of a fucking hurricane at around 10 at night. He's expected to drive two hours to an unknown destination in Arcadia in the MIDDLE of a hurricane and then two hours back to a place that he's NEVER been with NO money for gas? I think you get where i'm coming from.
I don't hate Billy, but I don't think that moving to Indiana was her final alternative. Hell, if you were such a nice guy, you should have offered to drop her off in Tampa on the way to Indiana. I doubt you offered that, but i'm sure you did your best to make it seem like moving to Indiana was a dream to achieve the ultimate nirvanna for Billy. Whatever. I didn't have anything against you until you decided to say Chris told Billy "No" I can't come get you when I was sitting right next to him when he was talking to her and he said "I'm sorry. I can't."

The only person that can help Billy Jean right now is you, Dustin..since you chose to not do so when you should have. I know you think you are living some kind of dream by running off and having a girl come live with you, especially one as awesome as her, but the truth is she needs to come home. I know her a lot better than you...I've been her best friend for 2 years now. She's upset and feels as though she made a mistake. For christ's sake, she's afraid to call ME. I'm glad she found a guy to care for, but there are people here that I know she loves and who love her just as much. Only YOU can do anything about it now, seeing as we don't know where the hell you are in Indiana, and we can never get ahold of you [conveniently].
Chris is not stupid. Jacob is not stupid. I am not stupid.
You can sit there and say that you had no other choice but to go to another state, and you can blame other people who were actually using logic, but trust me, everyone knows how easily you could have managed it. Like Jacob stated..If you were such a nice guy..such an UNHATABLE guy..you would do what was right. Even now that we know she's alive, we are still worrying our fucking brains out about her. Do everyone in question here a favor, get the stick out of your ass, and do what's right for Billy.
Thanks.
Rachel.

Billy Jean Gutiérrez, I was never mad at you just so much as I was worried sick for you. Sorry that I could'nt personally pick you up from Arcadia, but I tried my best to find you a ride safe home, which I did. Your mother was willing to pick you up. Problem was, you were nowhere to be found. In anycase everything is said and done. Hope you two enjoy your new life.
att,
Christopher

I don't care to comment on any of this. I just wish I still got the chance to talk to you.. I miss you just like everyone else... ;__; Why don't you get online anymore.. at least if you got online you could speak with all of us. No one wants to bitch you out.. I certainly don't. I just miss getting to talk to you. I hope you come online sooner rather than later. I wish you the best always. Kk, that's all I have to say. TAKE CARE!Whitney

from Rob
Hi Billy, it's Rob. I tried to call your house a couple times over the last few weeks, and just finally actually talked to Chris the other day, I had no idea what had happened. You know, I am VERY suspicious of this whole thing, and esepcially since the conversation we had the day before you went to Arcadia. I am further suspicious because I know how you type, and your supposed response does not exactly match up. Call me paranoid, but I honestly believe you are NOT ok, and that something is terribly wrong. I hope I am wrong, but I would like to have some proof that you are ok.There are 2 ways I can figure out if it's really you. The easiest way is that you can call me, and tell me yourself that you're ok. Another way I can figure it out, is by asking you some questions that only you would know the answer to. So let me do that now . . .
1) what did I say the "blakka blakka" in your email sounds like?
2) What movie did we watch when you were here?
3) From what show was I asking you if you could translate something from Spanish to English?
4) What was the name of the place where you parked when you came to Daytona?
5) Where did we stop and eat in Daytona with Chris and Jacob?
6) Name the band who does the song I played for you on guitar.
Please answer these questions so I know you are ok. Only you would know these answers, if they are all right I will know you are ok. If they are all wrong or you don't answer at all, I will know something is wrong. If you are forced to answer them, answer them all incorrectly and I will know something is wrong.
If I don't get some kind of response I'm going to call Chris and tell him he needs to call the cops and report that you've been kidnapped. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I don't trust this whole situation. If you can answer the questions I will know you are alive and ok, and that it was really you who typed in the one response. I just find it strange that this guy is posting in your live journal, and if he has poasted once he could have also easily posted what supposedly came from you. So answer those questions and I will know you are ok.
