Sequel: In the End ›
It Started Off With Just A Trip To Oakland, California
Meet Jason
I woke up again in the night, I had no idea why. I looked around, to see Billie Joe, still next to me, but sound asleep. I wanted to tell him about my parents, and I knew it was stupid that I hadn't told him about how they were coming to get me...
I tried to drift back to sleep, realizing it was only 6:30. I heard Billie Joe mumble something in his sleep, and then snore, which made me laugh a little. For some reason, the fact that I hadn't slept alone in my bed for atleast one night crossed my mind... And it was true. Every night I had ended up next to Billie Joe, weather it was on Tre's couch, his couch, or my bed, or his bed...
By 10:00 Billie Joe had woken up. I had been up, but thinking so much it seemed like I was asleep with my eyes open.
"Aww my fucking head" He gumbled, sitting up.
I snapped out of my thoughts, and laughed at him. "I can't imagine why it would hurt, after how you were last night"
He glanced down at me, and shook his head. "You think it's funny, don't you?"
"In a way"
He sighed, and got up, stumbling a little bit, and then getting control of where he was going.
I followed him downstairs, to see him in the kitchen, staring out the window. The phone rang, making us both jump out of thought.
"Hello?" Billie Joe answered. "Oh, hey Mike... Yeah, I'm coming down today... I know my car is there... I bet Tre isn't too happy I have his keys... Okay, I'll be there within a house... Later"
He turned around, and jumped at seeing me there. Meanwhile, I was thinking about my parents.
"God, you scared me"
I smiled a little, and went back to thinking about my parents.
"Why do you seem so down?" he asked, walking over to me
"What? Me? Oh... No reason"
He looked at me for a moment, before I finally told him what I was thinking...
"When I called my brother yesterday, he told me my parents told him... Or something like that, that their leaving soon... To get me"
Billie Joe looked at me, in shock and horror.
"Why the hell didn't you tell me yesterday?!" He asked, sounding really pissed off
"Because, I only called him yesterday."
"So why didn't you tell me last night?!"
"Because, you were piss ass drunk!"
"I may have been drunk, but I wouldn't be so fucking stupid-"
"You took Tre's keys, and walked home!"
"That was out of a state of confusion!"
"Confusion!? Billie! I'm not going to start arguing over you being drunk!"
"We're not arguing over that! You should have told me!"
"But my brother lied to them, so that will throw them off for a day!"
"And if they decided to leave fucking yesterday, they could have easily fucking heard where I live! You know how they put where I fucking live on the damn internet!"
I knew he was right... I just didn't want to admit it. My parents were random, and that's how they always got me... They could have left yesterday to get me... And now here I was, arguing with Billie Joe.
"They don't put your adress..." I whispered
"But when they find out what town I'm in, it isn't going to take long" he said, not yelling anymore. We had both stopped yelling at each other.
"I'm sorry Billie Joe..." I said, as he embraced me into a hug.
We stood like that for a couple minutes, just hugging each other, thinking about the same thing. We both needed that hug at the moment. Being scared to death for me, was an understatement.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After a while, we had both managed to shower, get dressed, get something to eat, stop thinking about my parents, and get to the studio. We walked in the studio, to see Tre asleep on the couch, drooling(haha) with a drumstick in his hand, Jason asleep, with his head on his guitar... And Mike... Mike was no where to be seen.
"And this is a good day in the studio" Billie Joe joked, as something bounced off his head.
I tried not to laugh at him, as Mike came out of another room.
"Asshole..." mumbled Billie Joe as Mike walked up to him, "Hit me again and I'll-"
Mike had threw something else at Billie Joe's head
"Asshole..." mumbled Billie Joe again.
Mike laughed at him, and walked over to the other couch, sitting down. Billie Joe picked up his guitar, and went over to where Tre And Jason(still asleep)and played a high note, making them jump a mile... Just like Mike had done the day before.
Tre jumped up, kicking Jason in the head, making Jason jump up, and drop his guitar. I couldn't help but laugh at the look on Tre's face, and Jason's mumbling, and cursing at Tre for kicking him in the head that hard. But Tre just laughed at him.
"Mandy!" Said Tre, pulling me into a bear hug, making me laugh.
He let me go, and Jason came up to me. "Hey, so your the famous Mandy I've heard about" He said with a smile.
I smiled, "The famous Mandy?" I asked, looking over at Billie Joe who all of a sudden became more interested in his shoes than anything else. So Billie Joe had talked about me before in the studio.
I talked with Jason for a while, he was a really cool guy. The band didn't give him nearly enough credit for who he was. I would glance at Billie Joe every once in a while, just wanting to see what he was doing. He was sitting in a chair writing on a paper... New lyrics. After a while, Jason and I broke off from talking, and I went over to Billie Joe.
"Wutcha doin?" I asked, going up to him
"Nothing, bored." He responded
"Is this what you always do at the studio?" I joked
He smiled, "No, we actually play. But no one is in the mood today"
I smiled, and sat down next to him. I wanted to ask him what he had said about me in the studio, but I ended up not.
After a little while of talking to Billie Joe, they started to practice... Well... For a little. No one was up to it with the hangovers they all had. I had no idea why I hadn't wanted to go to the studio. All the guys were cool, just basically hanging out since none of them were up to playing. Every once in a while they would go and practice, then come back.
The day at the studio really got my mind off my parents... Thank god. It's what I needed. At first that's all I could think about... And thats where Jason came in... I had told him everything pretty much, that was happening, and he understood it... Not like Billie Joe hadn't because he defineatly had. He was the only one I had really trusted to tell anything... Except Jason... And why I had told him all the things I had... I will never know.
"Come on, lets get home" Said Billie Joe, walking up to me, putting his arm around me, as I was talking to Jason for like the 5th time that day... He was an easy guy to talk to.
"Okay," I said, glancing down at my watch. We'd been there all day, it was already 9:30.
"All right, I'll see you later" Said Jason, with a sweet smile to me
"Yup, I'll be back tomorrow" I said, smiling back at him.
Billie Joe hugged me a little closer, before saying bye to Jason, and the rest of the guys(Tre giving me another bear hug, haha)
"Do you have your keys this time?" I said, with a small laugh
Billie Joe looked over at me, and smiled, opening the door of the car. "I think so"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yup" I answered
"What were you talking about with Jason?"
I smiled, and looked out the window. "Why?"
"Just wondering..."
I smiled, "Just... Stuff"
He smiled a little, and sighed as we pulled into the driveway, and got out, and walked to the door. He opened the door, and we both walked in. I went upstairs to change into my pajama's, and he went into the kitchen to get something to drink... Probably a beer.
I came back downstairs, and sat cross legged on the couch. He came over to me, and sat down next to me. We sat in silence for a little bit. I turned to him, and bent closer to him, before kissing him... A little more passionate than before...
I broke away, and couldn't help but smile. I bit my lip, and looked at the floor. I saw out of the corner of my eye he was smiling a little too. I moved a little closer to him, and put my head on his shoulder before falling asleep... Once again next to Billie Joe...
I tried to drift back to sleep, realizing it was only 6:30. I heard Billie Joe mumble something in his sleep, and then snore, which made me laugh a little. For some reason, the fact that I hadn't slept alone in my bed for atleast one night crossed my mind... And it was true.
