Tre's Drum Lessons, chapter 13
RECAP
The next I wake up and Tre's not in bed. That's unusual; Tre's usually still asleep by the time I wake up. I must've slept in. I look at the clock. It's only 9am. That's too early for Tre to be awake. I walk down the hallway and as I past Billie and Mike's room; I hear the faint sound of people talking. I put my ear to the door and I can hear Tre talking to Billie and Mike about our relationship...

"I don't know what to do... we have to go back to the U.S to finish our tour. I don't want to leave her here, what other choice do I have?" says Tre.
"Yeah, I think she'll understand." said Billie Joe
My eyes welt up with tears. He's going to leave me? No, this can't be happening run back to my room and jump on my bed, put my head to the pillow and cry. Tre comes back and lies beside me.
"Hey, what's up?" he asked, worriedly.
"Are you leaving me? Don't you love me anymore?" I manage to say through my tears.
"NO! Never! I will never stop loving you... and I'm not leaving you... where the hell are you getting these ideas from?" he asks.
"I heard you telling Billie Joe and Mike that you're going to leave me because you're going back on tour." I said.
"Hahahahaha! No, you so misunderstood! I was going to ask you and the girls to come on tour with us... I wouldn't leave you!" he laughed.
"Oh my God are you serious?!" I ask, excitedly.
"Yeah! I meant that I have no other choice but to bring you along with us!" he laughed.
"Awesome!!" I exclaimed.
"Do you want to go and tell the girls?" he asked.
"Yeah, but when do we leave? How long is it for?" I ask.
"Its next week, for a month." replies Tre.
"Ok, well I'll tell the girls, and we'll get ready!" I exclaim, and hug Tre tightly.
"Ok, cool... oh I left out one detail... " said Tre.
"Yes... ?" I ask.
"You guys will be playing, too. If you want to, that is." He says.
"Oh my god, off course we do! Thank you so much! Jeez, I can't believe it!" I exclaim, and hug him tighter.
"You're welcome!" exclaims Tre, "I think you're breaking my ribs." He laughs.
"Oh, sorry." I grin.
I run down the hallway and burst into the girl's room.
"What's up?" asks Erin.
"Tre just asked us to go on tour with them... and play too!!" I exclaimed.
The girls jumped out of their beds.
"Are you serious?!" asked Ash.
"Yeah! I'm so excited... its next week for a month!" I exclaimed.
"Awesome... one problem... parents." said Nat.
"Just call them; I'm sure they'll understand that this is our dream come true!" I exclaimed.
The girls call up their parents. They let them come on tour. Then I call up my parents.
"Hello Mum... yeah I'm fine... I'm staying at a friends... yeah whatever, look, im going on tour with Green Day...yeah I know!...I cant believe it either!...yeah so I wont be home for a long time... ok... see ya." I hang up the phone.
"It's a-Okay!" I exclaim.
We pack up our stuff and are ready to go for next week.
***3 hours later***
We decide to go surfing. Billie, Mike and Tre are already I the car and the girls and I are packing some food to bring along with us.
"So where are we touring?" asks Ash.
"I don't know, actually." I reply.
We get into the car and arrive at the beach. We all race to the water and I beat Tre. I spot an awesome wave and take it on. I can't believe it; I haven't really surfed before, but I'm shredding this wave! It's so cool!
"Yeah! Wait to go, Danni!" yells Billie Joe.
WOO HOO! This is great!
We all surf for a few hours, and then we laze around the beach. Tre, Billie and I go for a walk to the milk bar up the road to get some ice creams.
"So where about is the tour? Which country?" I ask.
"Well, it's a tour through America. Kansas and then Mississippi and just some cities from then on in the US. It'll be fun." Replied Billie Joe.
"Cool" I said.
We arrive at the milk bar and we buy ice creams for everyone. As were walking back down the beach back to the others, we're approached by some guys.
"Hey, aren't you the dudes from Green Day?" he asks, looking at Billie Joe and Tre.
"Uhh... yeah, hi" replies Billie Joe.
"I knew it! Could I have an autograph?" he asks, excitedly.
"Yeah sure!" replies Tre.
Billie Joe and Tre sign the piece of paper the guy hands to them. Then he runs off to his friends to show the autograph off.
"You must be used to that happening often?" I ask.
"Yeah, this was the first time in Australia, but it happens a lot in the US." Said Billie Joe.
"You better get used to it happening, too. After coming on tour with us, it'll happen a lot. And when you guys get famous, too." Smiled Tre.
"Yeah. I hope that happens." I laugh. "I'm tired." I whine.
"Hop on my back, I'll give ya a piggy back ride." says Tre.
I hop onto his back and he starts running. Billie follows, trying to beat us to everyone. Then, Tre trips over. We roll through the sand and finally come to a stop, en-tangled with each other. Billie's still running, but backwards, and I see him laughing his head off.
"Yeah, you keep running!" I scream, pushing Tre off me. "Get off me, you big teddy bear!" I laugh. "Tre, get off me!" I exclaim. But he doesn't, he just lays there.
"Tre!? Are you alright?!" I yell. He doesn't answer. He's not moving... .
The next I wake up and Tre's not in bed. That's unusual; Tre's usually still asleep by the time I wake up. I must've slept in. I look at the clock. It's only 9am.
