Tre's Drum Lessons, chapter 14
Ok, incase you didn't see it on the comments board, I've decided to change Danni's and her friends (Nat, ash and Erin) age. After reading comments on previous parts to this story, and reviewing the story myself, I've decided to make it that Danni and her friends(Nat, ash and Erin) are 20 years old not 15. I've realized it myself that it's weird and UN realistic that any 32 year old man would date a 15 year old without being a pedophile. So there you go. But, all the stuff that happened with the media and age difference issues still happened, but she was 20 and there wasn't as much age difference as there was when she was 15. Sorry but it had to be done. Enjoy!
RECAP
"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....
END RECAP
"TRE!!!" I scream. He's just laying there, still. Oh fuck.
"BILLIE! TRE'S HURT! COME BACK!!" I scream, with tears in my eyes.
"What?!" says Billie, running back. "Oh shit... Tre, wake up dude!" he exclaims, tapping his face. "Tre, TRE! Wake the fuck up!" he exclaims. I'm crying now. I can't have lost my Tre, this isn't happening!
I stare at his face, crying.
"Call an ambulance, quick!" exclaims Billie. I reach for my phone, then Tre's lips start to shake, and he bursts out laughing.
"Tre! You fucking bastard, that's not funny!" yells Billie.
"Haha you thought I was dead, didn't you, Bill-o." laughed Tre.
I just looked at him, and then turned around and looked down and stared at the sand.
"Hey, what's wrong?" asks Tre. "I'm okay now, I was joking." He said.
"It wasn't funny... " I said, with tears dripping down my face. "I thought I lost you."
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, not one bit." He said, with his arm around me. "You should know me well enough that I joke a lot." He said.
"Yeah, I know, that's one of the reasons why I love you, but that was too far." I said.
"I'm so sorry, I'll make it up to you, I promise." He said, wiping away my tears.
I hug him tight and kiss him. "What would I do if I lost you?" I said.
"Celebrate!" laughed Billie. Tre tackled Billie to the ground. I decided to join in, so I jumped on Tre and started tickling him. He giggled like a school girl. Then Billie started tickling him too. Tre managed to push us off him and then started chasing us. We ran all the way back to everyone else and collapsed on the beach towels.
"I see you guys had fun?" said Mike.
"Yeah!" I exclaimed, trying to catch my breath. "Well, Tre pretended to die. That wasn't fun..." I said, looking at Tre.
"Emphasis on the word pretend!" exclaimed Tre. "That was the past, anyway. So... let's scream for ice-cream!" laughed Tre, holding the ice-creams in the air. Everyone took one and scoffed them down like there was no tomorrow. It was a hot day!
Once we were finished, we decided to go back to the house. We have showers and watch the Simpsons. As always, I'm sitting with Tre, and Erin's with Mike. Nat, Ash and Billie are inseparable. They're such good friends (good friends only, I'm not gonna break up Adi and Billie... don't worry!). They're always busy talking about their guitars and singing and stuff like that. We're all really excited about the tour. The Simpsons finish and we talk about what were going to play, and Mike, Billie and Tre give us some tips on performing.
"Ok, so when you're up there, have a lot of energy and show it. Jump up and down, dance, show confidence." Says Billie. "As the lead singer, Nat, you have to show the most energy." He says, looking at Nat.
"Ok... one problem... I get really nervous performing in front of large crowds." Said Nat.
"That's totally fine, who doesn't? Just try not to think about it until you're up there. So then once you're there, you have a rush of excitement and you just want to sing!" said Billie.
"Ok, and Ash, I can see that you are pretty hypo, so you wont have any problems. Just be yourself up there." Said Billie.
"Done!" exclaimed Ash.
"Now Danni. You're the same as Ash. So just be yourself and play like there's no tomorrow. Don't forget those cymbals, sister!" exclaimed Billie.
We all laughed. "Yeah I won't, bro!" I laughed.
"Erin, play the best you can! You're an awesome Bassist, and you have such talent, that just being on the stage is enough for you! So get out there and have fun doing what you love." said Billie. Erin nodded and smiled. Mike kissed her.
"You'll do great!" he said.
"You all will!" exclaimed Tre.
We all lifted out Coke cans and made a toast. "To Dollhouse!" said Tre.
"To Green Day!" said Ash.
"To friendship!" I said. And we all slammed our cans against each others and took a sip.
***1 week later***
Were currently on the plane, flying to the US. First, we have to go back to California so Billie can see his family and so that Mike and Tre can see their kids. Then, we're flying to Kansas to begin the tour. I'm sitting next to Tre, in front of us is Mike sitting next to Erin, and Nat, Ash and Billie are sitting together behind us. I turn around and ask Ash what were going to play on the tour.
"Well, were definitely playing Playgirl (a song about a fake girl who uses people for their money and is a bitch), we could do The Leather Jacket and 87 Go To Heaven. And maybe some covers?" she asks.
"Yeah, that should be good." I reply. I turn around and face Tre.
"Thanks for bringing us on tour. I'm so happy. This is our chance to make it big." I say.
"Yeah, glad to have you's with us... oh and I still have to make it up to you for pretending to die. Don't worry I wont forget." He said, with a big grin on his face.
"What do you have planned?" I ask.
"You'll see, when were in Kansas. Billie and Mike are helping me organize it. You're going to be very excited, I can assure you." He said.
I hugged and kissed him. "Oh, really?" I ask.
I wonder what he has planned?....
