The Life Of Three Very Green Men, chapter 5
Weeks went by and spring turned to summer. Mike tried to keep in touch with Michelle but it was hard becuse neather trusted that the other wasn't screwing around behind their back. Their relationship fell apart and they both got on with their lives. Mike felt a pang of regret but that was all.
Touring was tough even on two 19 year olds and one that was soon to be that age, and they were all glad that they got to go home 6 months into touring. They all three rented the basement of a house not to far from thier old neighborhood. And one night Billie returned home from a short trip to his dad's grave to find the place empty. He plopped down on the sofa to think turning on the TV so that there was some background noise, becuse even though he prefered quiet the tv was comforting. The phone rang suddently jerking him out of his thoughts.
"Hello."
"Hi may I speak to Frank, or Tre, or what ever the dufus goes by now," asked a beaautiful female voice.
"Um he's not here may I take a message?"
"Yeah tell him that Santa's Little Helper called."
"Huh, sorry but did you say..."
"Yeah but forget it...my name is Adrienne."
"Oh ok I'll tell him you called."
"No wait...if your not doing anything would you mind staying on and talking to me...it is boring here."
"Well Adrienne, I'm Billie Joe, and it is boring here too."
"Good," she laughed. It was a sound that made Billie's head spin... it was so pretty.
They talked for a few hours until Tre and Mike walked back in.
"Oh Tre's here so I'll talk to you again sometime if you want."
"That would be awsome you a vey interesting person Billie Joe."
"Well so are you Adrienne, and here is Tre," said Billie handing over the phone. To Tre whom it took a good few seconds to comprehend who was on the phone. Billie and Mike got up to leave Tre in private to talk with Adrienne.
"So was that like his girlfriend?"
"I don't think so, she just said she had known him since they were really little."
"Ok."
"Where did you two go?"
"Ummm...we though that you might want some alone time when you got back so we just went out."
"Oh ok thanks."
Tre walked in.
"Hey Billie did you bore her to death while waiting for me?"
"No actually we had a nice conversation."
"So Tre is she your girlfriend?" asked Mike.
"Huh...NO we are just really close friends, we have been since before I moved to here, she really liked you Billie you should call her again sometime."
"Um one thing though, Tre why did she say she was 'Santa's Little Helper'?"
"Hahaha she said that, well my dad looks kind of like Santa....hahah."
"Ok now that that is settled I'm going to bed, goodnight Tre, 'night Mike," said Billie as he stood up and left the room. That night all that he could think about was that voice, how she laughed, how wonderful her smile must be...the one he would call 80...
