1988, chapter 24
The next few months practically flew by. It was now the end of the class of 1990 and Billie Joe still hadn't heard a word from his next door neighbor. So okay he couldn't blame her - it was his fuck up. He once again thought with his dick instead of his head/heart. So yes, 'good going Billie', he told himself almost every time he saw her at school, Gilman or just watching her cross the street. Yes, the apparent bitch had hurt him and vice versa.
It was also hard for Maria. She saw him all the time at Gilman street and recently Mike had become good friends with Tre', So This made it even harder when Billie Joe was never to far away. But threw all this Maria had met another guy - his name was Jason. Jason White.
Billie had learnt threw Mike that Maria was now seeing some new guy. Personally this 'Jason' sounded like a real fuckwit. But then again anyone that went out with Maria to Billie seemed like a fuckwit.
Over a course of the split Billie had also met another special someone to occupy his mind from thinking about Maria 24/7. Her name was Aska. He had met her at a high school party. She was one year older then him and loved the booze. This was fun on some counts but scary in others when she completely blacked out a few times.
"Fuck! Fuck! FUCK! Wake up Aska! Wake up... Its time to go" Billie shouted out to a passed out Aska. Her black hair covered her face and a line of dribble trailed out of the corner of her mouth as she lightly snored.
"Come on Aska otherwise I hate to put you under the shower and I really don't wanna be kicked in the jaw like last time I did that...."
Billie picked up his unconscious girlfriend and carried her to the bathroom kicking out a pair of lovers on the way and placing her down on the shower tiles and gently turned the shower on. The water woke her up instantly
"WHAT THE FUCK?!?!? Where am I? Oh god...."
"You okay Aska?"
"Billie?"
"Yeah"
"Thank god.... Where am I?"
"Under some dudes shower... "
"Oh... Can you get me another beer please? I'm hell thirsty... "
"I think you've had enough"
"Oh please baby?"
"Fine but try to sober up okay?"
"Uh huh I will"
Billie left her to sit under the water while he went to get another drink to leer her out of the party so he could take her home.
He walked up to the keg and noticed a laughing Maria with that fuckwit Mike had been talking about. Billie scrunched the paper cup as he watched Jason kiss her cheek and Maria giggle even more. This made him madder. But he shouldn't be feeling like this to Maria still, 9 months was a awfully long time to still like someone especially a ex-girlfriend. He thought he had gotten over her with Aska -turns out not. He saw her look at him a few times in the corner of his eye.
Billie sat down on a nearby chair and acted as if he didn't notice Maria's increasing stares. This added more to Billie's theory that possible Maria still had feelings for him. Just added didn't certain it.
Billie stayed in that seat for the majority of the night/morning. He had completely forgotten about Aska and that Mike said he knew someone who would take them home at 3am - it was now 5 and Billie was still watching Maria dance around to the sunrise while Jason was getting fairly mad. Tre' had fallen asleep and so had the few other remaining guests except - Maria, Jason and himself.
Half and hour later Jason has also fallen asleep having given up on his dancing girlfriend.
Billie got up and stretched as Maria continued twirling around and singing to a
November Rain.
"Hey Maria.... Having fun?"
Maria stopped and spun around. The guy standing in front of her was of course Billie. Someone she wasn't expecting to see.
"Uh hey Billie..... Where's your girlfriend?"
"Huh? Oh... -OH! I don't know...."
"Shame I would've liked to meet her. Have you meet Jason?"
"Oh yeah once or twice at Gilman and other places"
"Oh yeah cool"
As awkward as the situation was it got even more awkward when there was a awkward silence.
"So hows the band?" Maria asked nicely while moving her head to Motley Crue
"Yeah good... "
"I put the posters up for ya next show last week - sounds like a biggish one"
"Yeah well its our last before tour"
"Your going on tour?"
"Yeah.... Next month when Mike finishes school"
"Don't you mean when you both finish school?"
"Nope. I dropped out"
"Ohh that's why I haven't seen you around. Yeah I've had a few requests for 'Two Dollar Bill' but I couldn't deliver"
"I don't do that shit anymore. Selling newspaper subscriptions is good enough"
"Oh yeah....?" Maria yawned "I wanna go home but fucking Jason fell asleep and Tre'...."
"I was gonna go - I could take ya, after all your still next door". Maria laughed
"Sure thing Armstrong, sure thing".
