1988, chapter 27
Billie Joe tightly gripped his BMW's steering wheel. His knuckles quickly turned white making the 'punx' on his hand standout. The lights blinked green and the short punk-rocker slammed his foot down onto the car's pedal making the car fly across the street lights section. He slightly slowed down but was still fast all the same. The signs and trees flew by him with a blur he was on a mission - stop Maria making the worst decision of her life and make her choice the right decision. The turnoff came and Billie swerved and spun out a little but found himself now going down the road he wanted
"That would have look so awesome!" he laughed and continued his way to the chapel.
Maria sighed and draped the veil down her face
"God this looks ugly" she grimaced
"Maria! Please do NOT use god's name in vein! Especially not in a actual church!"
It was Kevin's mother and her soon-to-be mother-in-law. And she hated her. Even though it was her wedding day her mother-in-law had planned the whole thing. None of it her style and Kevin being such a mommy's boy had let her do it even after all Maria's pleading for him to talk to her about it but Kevin always shrugged it off by saying 'Jack and Mariah need help with their homework, you better go help' even though her article's deadline was the next day or the classic: 'she's only trying to help'. But lately her wedding to a man she no longer loved was the last thing on her mind - because 3 important men had came back into her life, three very important men indeed all one after each other...

"I'm really fucked up right now"
Billie Joe Armstrong mumbled off stage as the countdown to the millennium begun with Carlson Daley
"10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1!" Carlson screamed into the camera as the ball dropped in Times Square.
Billie Joe stumbled over to the TRL window and watched all the screaming fans, he smirked and waved. He then stumbled around the TRL party, getting another drink on the way. He had no idea what is was but it tasted alright. Getting congratulations for his performance of 'Good Riddance (time of your life)' from other celebrities and party guests on his way threw the mass of people in the studio. He had no idea where Tre and Mike were - oh well he thought. Billie Joe continued his stumble around the televised party until he fell over some pop tart who slapped him, okay he thought to himself - maybe I should leave. With a stumble to the elevator he got in and made his way out of the building with his security guard - Gav helping him into a limo out the back of the building. It seemed like forever until they arrived at the hotel, well the amount of traffic in New York right now, was of course unbearable and even more now as many streets were blocked off. His head was spinning - 'how much did I drink? ' Was going through his mind, he even wondered 'how could he even think about how much he had to drink? ' he stumbled into the hotel lobby and with the guide of one of the hotel staff into another elevator. A woman was already in the elevator. A loud siren went off and the hotel worker hastily pushed Billie Joe in
"I don't normally at all ask this but... Could you take him to his floor? Someone was just broken into something... " asked the hotel worker to the woman
"Umm, sure what floor?"
"Mr. Armstrong which floor is your room on?"
"You should know, you fucking work here" he laughed
"Uh Miss I think he's on floor 5"
"Oh okay" and with that the woman pressed his floor's button and the elevator doors closed. "looks like you had a great new years" the woman laughed
"Yeah I guess... Only the morning will tell me how good" he smirked "you look familiar" he slurred, the woman smirked at him
"Hi I'm Haushinka, and I saw your performance on TRL"
"Really? Didn't I rock?" he smiled
"Not exactly, you were and by the looks of it still totally wasted" she laughed again
"Well it is new year"... You really do look familiar though Haushinka"
"We went to high school together - BJ" she smiled looking down
"Oh fuck!" he shouted "Maria? Haushinka - Maria?" he laughed.
"No body ever calls me that" she laughed
"As I recall your dad did" he moaned holding his head, his hangover was starting to kick in
"Yeah... So Green Day really did make it huh?"
"No shit Sherlock" he smirked
"I see you still have your charm" she giggled
"You know you didn't have to leave... We could have found a way" he slurred looking up at her, his green eyes beginning to become blood shot from the excessive alcohol in take he had consumed that night
"It's a long story and your to drunk to hear it all" she smiled as the doors opened "here's your floor BJ"
"Oh thanks... Time to sleep this fucker off" and with that Billie Joe stepped out of the elevator and tripped falling flat on his face, he sat up and started laughing
"Shit! Billie Joe are you okay?!" Maria screamed jumping out of the elevator to help him up. She put his arm around her shoulder and pulled him up "what room is yours?"
"Uhh room 69" he giggled
"Seriously?"
"Nah.. It's um... " and he pulled out his room key card and handed it to Maria
"Room 157" she mumbled holding him and checking the numbers on the doors to they got to the end room, she swiped the card and the door opened. She helped him in "shit this room is HUGE!". Billie Joe moved out from under her arm
"Ive had bigger" he sighed and walked to another room, still holding his head. As soon as he was out of the room, Maria walked out and back into the hall of floor 5. She sighed, closing the door behind her and walked back to the elevator "he hasn't changed" she muttered pushing the elevator button.
But boy she couldn't be more wrong.
"That would have look so awesome!" he laughed and continued his way to the chapel.
Maria sighed and draped the veil down her face
