1988, chapter 9
Maria stretched and looked up a poster covered wall and jumped
"Fuck this isn't my room," she whispered checking if she was still dressed -she was. Maria slowly pulled the blankets off her body and stepped out of the bed. "OH -my head" she moaned and stood up, while holding her head she looked down and saw a stretched out sleeping Billie Joe, she smiled and slowly tip-toed over to him and kissed Billie Joe's forehead gently "than kyou" she whispered in his ear and slowly crept out of his room. Maria then crept to her house and climbed up onto her garage and slowly climbed to her window, jimmied it open and snuck inside. She got changed into her PJ's, quickly wiped the smudged eyeliner/mascara off her face and climbed into bed, to sleep off her massive hangover.
****************************
Billie Joe stirred and slowly woke up. He looked up at his clock, it read 3:17pm "Fuck" he yawned and looked up at his bed - Maria was gone. He sighed and got up, and walked to the kitchen, still nobody was here, not even his stepfather. He made himself a peanut butter sandwich and made his way to the garage. He sat down on the old sofa and saw Maria's 'Fender' in the corner, he stood up and walked over to it and picked it up and sat back down. He laid it across his legs and ran his hand up the smooth red paint job. "She should put some stickers on here" he whispered and sat the guitar next to 'Blue', "I wonder if she named you" he whispered to the red 'Fender', and picked up his notebook, Billie Joe had a hang-over but it wasn't that bad, he hoped Maria was ok though.
**************************
Maria slowly opened her eyes and blinked a few times; she got up and opened her curtains. It was night time now "Geez how long did I sleep for?" she yawned and climbed back into her bed. Maria looked over at her bedside table, there was an envelope, and she quickly snatched it and ripped the top open, and pulled the piece of paper out, it read:
MARIA,
HOW GOOD WERE WE LAST NIGHT?
WELL MAYBE YOU WOULDN'T REMEMBER, CAUSE THE WAY YOU PASSED OUT YOU WOULDN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING SINCE 1ST GRADE! ANYWAY HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER, CALL ME.
TRE
P.S. WE TOTALLY ROCKED EVERYBODYS ASS!!!!!
Inclosed were also two aspirins, "thanks Tre" she whispered and went down to the kitchen to get a glass of water. She saw her sister talking on the hallway phone, so she quickly ran to the kitchen and turned the tap on and filled a, she hoped clean glass and snuck back up stairs. But before she reached the top she was blocked by her brother
"Jake move!" she huffed
"Why?"
"Cause I said so"
"Whatever Maria"
"Let me through"
"Tre was here earlier and left a letter, I put on your bedside table cause you were asleep - I didn't look at it I swear!"
"Sure" she said sarcastically and knocked him down, spilling half her glass and ran to her room and then barracked the door with her desk - her head was now killing her. Maria sat on the corner of her bed and took what she hoped was aspirin, she'd known people to play tricks before like swapping aspirin with ecstasy at party's, but she knew Tre and he wouldn't that to her. She gulped the remaining water in the glass down and sighed. Maria looked over at the letter and picked up her land-line phone and dialled not Tre's number but Billie Joe's.
******************
'Wow two songs in one day and about the same girl, I'm stuffed' Billie Joe thought to himself as he laid 'Blue' down bedside him and then laid down himself on the old sofa. Billie Joe drifted off asleep but was quickly woken by a phone ring from the kitchen. He huffed and angrily walked to the phone "Hello?"
"Hi, Billie Joe?"
"That's my name, don't wear it out!" she giggled
"It's Maria"
"I guessed it was you, are you feeling better?"
"Ah yeah, I just wanted to say thanks for umm looking after me"
"No probs, someone had to look after you, cause Maria you were pretty fucking wasted"
"So I've been told... "
"Who told you?"
"Tre left a letter; I woke like 15 minutes ago"
"You're kidding? You've been asleep for fucking hours!"
"Yeah I know, but hey I just wanted to say thanks, bye Bill"
"Bye Maria". Maria hung up first. Billie Joe stared at the silent phone for a while and then hung up, he jumped as someone came threw the front door
"Oh, Billie I'm home!" sung Mike
"Hey Mike, you score last night?" Mike laughed at Billie Joe's question
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
"Yeah I do, that's why I asked"
"Mmm... .maybe later" and Mike walked off to his room, once again leaving Billie Joe alone.
"I'm hungry" he muttered and opened the fridge.
"Fuck this isn't my room," she whispered checking if she was still dressed -she was. Maria slowly pulled the blankets off her body and stepped out of the bed.
