1988, chapter 16
Billie Joe, Paige and Mike sat around until 8 at night when Billie Joe spoke"I might hit the hay" he yawned and stumbled off to his room with the large amounts of alcohol still swirling in his body, his speech had also become slurred "Greeeeen Day" he giggled when he reached his room and fell into his bed. His curtains were still open and exposing the light from his neighbors house "urgh" he groaned getting up to close his window, he then noticed a familiar silhouette in his next door neighbor's house. He moved himself closer, half-hanging out the window - yes, it was Maria. He smiled and waved while sliding himself back into his room and of course she didn't see him. He sat back on his bed still watching her from his window and quickly grabbed his note book from under his bed and reached a little further finding a pencil and wrote "Starlit Night, The Moon Is Shining Bright, You Are The One I Need, Up At Your Window, I See A Shadow, Silhouette Of Your Grace"
"Wow, that's even cornier then before, but I have the perfect music for it" he mumbled and yawned again. Getting up and actually closing his window this time, he then slumbed back into his bed and within minutes he was asleep. At one o'clock in the afternoon the next day (Sunday) he woke up and spent a few hours playing 'Blue' not even coming out of his room, for his head still acked from the day/night before and once again fell back asleep in his bed but before he fell asleep he wrote a few more lines "Here's This Flower, I Picked For All The Hours, That You've Spent With Me, The One I Love, That I've Been Dreaming Of, Sailing Across The Sea".
The next morning Billie Joe's foot twitched and his green eyes slowly opened "meh" he groaned and sat up scratching his messy hair. He looked around his room 'Blue' was sitting in its case, in the opposite corner from yesterday, his wardrobe in another corner, with his guitar case leaning against it, a desk which he could never remember using, a old chair with belts and guitar straps hanging over it, mountains of clothes on the floor and of course his bed which he was sitting on right now.
He threw his sheets off and hopped out of his bed. He scratched his head again with his hair threading threw his fingers, he stretched and opened his curtains looking into the Californian blue sky. He closed his curtains once more and pulled his black sweatpants and Jockeys off and quickly got changed into new underwear and jeans, still with no shirt on, he searched his many piles of clothes for at least a semi-clean shirt, he found a plain black t-shirt which he thought smelt alright and pulled it on. He then found two un-matching socks and threw them onto his bed and then threw his Converses to join his socks, he found his backpack and threw that onto his bed with its contents falling out on the way, he shrugged and stuffed the notebook and pencil that fell out back into his bag back in. Billie Joe then sat back on his bed and put his un-matching socks and shoes on.
He then got up and slang his bag over his shoulder and ran out of his room, slamming his door behind him and ran to the lounge room and snatched his mum's keys off the coffee table and ran to the front door yelling out "see ya mum!" on the way out, this was his routine even though his mum was hardly ever there or sleeping, so he was surprised when Ollie called back to him
"Bye hun", Billie Joe spun on the spot and turned to face his mum
"Mum? Your home?"
"Obliviously, Billie" she smirked and threw a brown paper bag at him
"Huh? What's this?"
"That would be your lunch"
"You made me lunch? You haven't done that since...." He gulped "I was 10"
"Well 6 years in the making huh?"
"Well I have to go mum...."
"Ill be home when you come back Bill"
"Really?"
"Isn't that what I just said?", Billie Joe nodded and closed the door behind him and walked to the car, opened the door and stuffed his lunch into his bag, and then threw his bag onto the backseat, running around the other side of the car and to Maria's house. He knocked on the door and waited as he had done so many times before, the first of which was of course awkward with Maria already have left.
"Coming!" he heard faintly from the other side of the door, and then the door swung open with a smiling Maria standing in the doorway "looks like my ride is here!" she smirked, playfully pushing him out of the way and then pecked his cheek, swung the door closed and walked over to the car. She opened the door, threw her bag into the back as Billie Joe had done minutes earlier and sat in, Billie Joe sat in the driver's seat, turned the key and off they went to school.
