The Story Without a Title, chapter 3
BILLIE JOE'S P.O.V.
It's a surprise Tre hasn't walked out on us. After all the times we tease him and mess with his head!
Hopefully he knows we're only kidding.
"Get in touch with your Australian sayings Mike." said Tre in a matter-of-factly voice.
"Like you knew that saying genius!" snapped Mike,
"You didn't know it either Mike....dumbass." I said in Tre's defense.
"Listen to the man, Mike!" Tre rested his arm on my shoulder.
Gemma rolled her eyes and pushed her chair back.
"Let's go." she said dragging Mike by his sleeve.
"Sick of sitting in the backseat of a car, for such a short drive, fuck, we went far!" sang Tre pretending to beat the drums.
"We sit in the back seat, with stupid carpet at our feet." added Mike.
"At least the car smells so nice, why don't we stop for ice..............cream." said Tre again. I smiled.
"You two should be in a band!" said Gemma. "Oh wait......"
"They ARE in a band Gem." Mel rolled her eyes.
"I knew that," she hissed.
"Ice cream, ice cream, lovely lovely ice cream, let's stop for ice cream, I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream." sang (pretty much screamed) Tre.
A group of people screamed and ran over.
"BILLIE JOE! HERE HERE!" they screamed. A bunch of girls had spotted us.
"Ah fuck!" said Tre taking a pen from one of the girls.
"Arrrghhh! GEMMA!" Mel yelled.
"Don't worry Mel, we'll be done soon." I said signing some pictures.
After the girls left Gemma couldn't stop staring at me.
"What?!" I asked.
"You can deal with that EVERYDAY?!" I asked him.
"It's a fact of life, you give a little you get a little." he said simply getting in the car.
"That must be so cool." sighed Gemma.
GEMMA'S P.O.V.
"AARRGGH! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?" screamed Tre.
"What?" asked Mike looking over at him.
"THAT!" he screamed again pointing at a large spider.
"Don't worry Tre it's just a Daddy Long Legs, they won't bite you!" said Mel.
"They don't bite?" asked Mike looking at it.
"Nope."
"I don't care! Don't bring it anywhere near me!" shouted Tre.
"They don't bite huh....well in that case." Mike leaned down and picked up the spider. "I'll call it....Mr. Toxic." he grinned.
Tre gave a little whimper. Mike threw the spider at him.
"OH MY FUCKING GOD! GET IT OFF ME! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!!!" Tre screamed.
"TRE! Calm down!" laughed Billie Joe. "Don't panic or it'll bite you harder!"
"Billie Joe, don't make it worse!" laughed Hayley.
There was about five minutes of Tre screaming, shaking, yelling and biting the air.
"Would you just calm down Tre, the spider is gone!" yelled Mike after Tre accidently bit him.
"Spider go bye bye." Billie Joe said in a childish voice.
"Bye bye?" asked Tre, adopting the same childish voice,
"YES! BYE BYE! ACT YOUR FUCKING AGE NOW WOULD YOU?!" Mike was getting frustrated.
"You need to calm down my friend." said Mel looking at Mike.
*****************************At home******************************
"OH MY GOD!" I heard Mel shout from inside.
"Mel, is everything Ok?" Tre yelled.
He ran inside but stopped at the door. "Oh...I see." he said nodding. "Two strangers in the house talking to Mel...what does that mean in Australia?" he asked me.
"OH MY GOD! IT MEANS JOEL AND JAMES ARE HERE!" Hayley ran inside.
MIKE'S P.O.V.
Gemma ran inside after Hayley did.
"What's going on?" I asked Billie Joe. Billie Joe looked over at Tre who was chasing a butterfly until he fell into a bush.
"OUCH! IT HAS PRICKLY BITS!" He yelled from inside the bush. "Is it an Australian cactus?" he asked.
"It's a rose bush Tre." said Billie Joe pulling him out of the bush. It looked pretty weird. Three guys like us just standing out in the garden, as if we're waiting for something.
"Let's go in." I finally said.
We walked inside to see two new faces. One guy with black spikey hair, he was tall and he had blue-ish green eyes.
The other kid was kinda tall with brown hair a bit like mine. Both the guys were skinny and the younger looking one wasn't as tanned as his brother...though neither of them were tanned.
"Um..Mike this is Joel." Mel said pointing to the younger looking kid.
"Hey, Mike," he smiled.
"Hi Joel." I smiled back.
"And this is James." Mel pointed to the older guy.
"Hello there." he said putting his hand out. I shook his hand and there was a long silence.
"Me and Joel have to go now anyway Mel, see ya tonight..possibly." said James.
"Go? Now?" she asked, I can tell she was a bit upset.
"Yeah, we need to go see some friends and family and all that shit." Joel rolled his eyes.
"Don't swear kiddo." Joked Gemma.
"I'm 16 Gemz...don't mother me!" he said taking the keys off of his brother.
"Then I'll talk to you later. Bye." Mel walked away into her room.
"Bye," said James after the door slammed shut.
MEL'S P.O.V.
Those stupid boys! They came around just to check the place out, he didn't stay for me!
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"What?" I snapped from inside my room.
"Let me in Mel." It was Tre.
"Leave me alone Tre, just for now." I said holding back my tears.
He opened the door anyway. "Don't try to keep me out." he smiled.
Tre sat down on the bed. I was laying down trying to cover my head in my pillow.
"You can't hide from me Melonie!" Tre said pulling me closer to him.
I shot up and looked at him.
"Melonie?" I asked.
"You're Melonie...I'm Tre, is there a problem?"
"Um...I never thought you would call me Melonie but...whatever." I flopped back down onto my pillow.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Joel and James...the didn't stay long did they?" I said,
"No, they have other things to do I guess." he said trying to comfort me.
"I can't believe it, I didn't get a hug, or anything!" I started to cry again.
"Hey...don't cry!" said Tre wiping the tears away. "It's ok, you'll see them tonight, we can go out for dinner or...something."
I crawled into the blankets and Tre followed.
"Tre, just leave me alone, I'll be out later."
"Never, I'll stay with you until you feel better." he pulled me even closer and snuggled into me. "You know I would stay with you." he wispered. Tre's phone rang. "Ah fuck, hold on."
Tre came back into the room five minutes later. "I gotta go for a sec. But hold on, I'll be back in half an hour!" he smiled and kissed my head. First he said 'one sec' and now it's 'half an hour!'
Another five minutes went by, Billie Joe came in.
"You ok?" he asked.
"Fine, how are you?"
"Dandy!" he grinned. He jumped down onto the bed and kissed me, pushing me down flat on the bed. I pulled away.
"What are you doing?!" I hissed.
"Um...kissing you...I like you..." he said in a confused way.
"Billie Joe! You're with Hayley aren't you?!" I asked him.
"So what?! You're with Tre aren't you?"
"Yeah, and I'm planing to be faithful!" He looked hurt, a shot of guilt came through me.
"I'm sorry." he said. "Really sorry..." he went red in the face.
"Yeah...hey...Tre or anyone doesn't need to know or anything...we can keep it a secret." I gave him a small smile.
"Yeah, Tre shouldn't know." he walked out closing the door softly behind him.
Gemma walked in after him. "DON'T I EVER GET PEACE!?" I yelled. Gemma gave a small laugh,
"Not in this house!" she stood in front of the bed with a motherly look. "Now, Melonie Millar...what is wrong, what has been going on in your life?" she asked.
"My life was going perfect until Bree left it." I said to Gemma with tears welling in my eyes.
"And I know that you and Tre have something." she said winking.
"Yeah, I really love him." I was grinning now, but the tears were running down my face.
"Billie Joe?" she asked,
"What about him?" I looked around, just so I didn't have to look at Gemma.
"Mel...did you have anything with Billie Joe?"
"Not really." I cringed.
"What do you mean by 'Not really?' Mel?" Gemma looked alarmed. "You know he is going out with Hayley."
"Yeah I know, but this was before that," I sighed. "I did like him back then but..." Gemma stopped me.
"What do you think Bree would say?" she asked.
"She'd be angry and disappointed about what I did." It felt like a knife went through me.
"I know, does Billie Joe....know?" she grinned. "Hey that rhymes!"
"Haha, but yeah he does know I'm with Tre, I think..."
BILLIE JOE'S P.O.V.
I walked out and flopped down onto the couch. Mike and Hayley are...around somewhere and I know that Gemma and Mel are in Mel's room.
And I was out here alone.
My mind started going wild, I wondered about all the things I could do if I was with Mel. I started thinking a bit to far, wondering what it would be like if I could spend just a night alone with her...
"BILLIE JOE!"
"Huh?!" I jumped. Hayley's face was in front of me.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Thinking, what did it look like?" I grinned.
"Looked like you were off with the pixies."
The door opened and Tre came back in.
"Where were you?" I asked.
"I have a friend who lives around here and I thought I would go see him, do you remember Alex?" he said quickly.
"I remember him!" I smiled. "Back in friggen 1990!"
"He lives around here. I thought it would be nice to pay the guy a visit. He was pretty happy to see me!"
Hayley looked a bit lost in our conversation.
"I think I might go...sit with Mike," she said slowly.
"I'm going to as well!" I yelled.
"I'm going to go see if Mel is ok." Tre smirked.
TRE'S P.O.V.
I knocked on the door and Gemma opened it. "You're back!" she said smiling.
"Really? I am?!" I joked.
"Oh no, you're not, my mistake." Gemma laughed.
"Is Mel still in here?" I looked in to see her still sitting on the bed. Right where I left her.
"Yeah, I'll leave you two alone though, where are the others?" Gemma asked.
"By the pool or something." I walked inside. I waited until the door shut and Gemma was outside. "Hi babe." I said to Mel, sitting down next to her. I leaned over and kissed her. "You ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine, where did you go?" she asked.
"To see a old friend me and Billie Joe used to know. Alex."
Mel layed down on the bed and sighed.
"I missed you." she smiled.
"I missed you too."
I flopped down next to her and gave her a hug. "I love you." I said quietly in her ear.
WHAT?! I JUST SAID I LOVE YOU! HOLY MOTHER OF FUCKING CHRIST!! That was the first time I had ever said that to a girl...and I meant it! Wow, that's something to remember.
Mel looked up at me. Staring deep into my eyes trying to figure out what just happened.
"I love you too." she smiled softly. I felt like screaming for joy, I wanted to jump around and hold Mel and never let her go, instead I thought it would be easier to give her a kiss.
"You look as though you're about to sleep." I whispered. She reached up and gave me a long kiss. She started unbuttoning my shirt and pulling at my tie, soon, after she acomplished to take my shirt and tie off, she was tugging at my belt.
"Woah, what's with the sudden energy change?" I asked.
"Are you complaining that you're about to get laid?" said Mel with a cheeky grin on her face.
"No!" I said. "That's not like me!" I pulled off her shirt and fiddled around with her bra strap. Why do they make these things so complicated?! I finally got it undone and by then Mel was already begging for more.....
MIKE'S P.O.V.
"GO AWAY!" Screamed Gemma. "MIKE! DON'T YOU DARE!" I held my hands out. And gave Gemma a big push into the pool. She screamed again as she tumbled in. She grabbed my arm and pulled me in with her.
"COLD!" I yelled as I came up to the surface. Gemma pulled my legs, sending me underwater really quickly. I pinched her ass and she jumped about a meter into the air.
"OUCH!" she yelled.
I pulled her close to me and she wrapped her legs around my waist.
"The thing I like about pools is that I can do this and hardly weigh a thing!" she grinned.
"You hardly weigh a thing anyway babe." I sighed.
"Yeah I do, not that much, but I do!"
Billie Joe did a massive bomb into the water. Followed soon after by Hayley.
Gemma rested her head on my shoulder and I started to do a little pretend waltz around the pool.
"I didn't know you could dance Mike!" laughed Gemma.
"I can't I'm just making it up as I go along!"
"Who bets that Tre is up in his room fucking Mel?" yelled Hayley.
"Shhh! Hayles...they probably heard that!" hissed Gemma.
"No they wouldn't! Mel and Tre are probably too busy screaming to care!" I said.
"I think he is though Hayley." Billie Joe said grabbing a floating ring.
Gemma leaned over and kissed me. A big load of water shot over top of me.
"Get a room." laughed Hayley.
*SPLASH!!*
"Guess who!!" yelled Tre as he came to the surface.
"The guy who just did the most biggest bomb I have ever seen?" asked Hayley.
"That's right!"
"Oh my God!" Hayley quickly screamed,
"What?" we all asked.
"I'm in a pool, with Green Day, and they aren't wearing shirts!!" Hayley did a little dance around in circles. "YAY!"
"Did anyone notice I was here?" Asked Tre.
"So...Tre, how was the sex?" I asked.
"MIKE!" Hissed Gemma.
"Great thanks, how's your sex life going Mikey? Gettin' any? At all?" he asked splashing water at me.
"Great, I couldn't ask for better." Gemma blushed.
"Hey guys!" said Mel jumping into the pool, they obviously had time to get changed because Mel was wearing a bikini top and board shorts. Tre swam towards her and pulled her under.
She let out a slight scream before she was completely underwater. Eventually they came up and Tre was laughing.
"Ok...that was weird." said Billie Joe. "There was that long silence when they were gone."
"Did you two really have sex?" asked Hayley.
Gemma rolled her eyes. "Hayley, why are you so dumb?"
"I'm not, he could be joking!" Hayley said in her defence.
"Yeah, it was good too! 'Cause she was all like 'Ohhhh! Tre...yeeeeees!-" Tre was pushed under before he could continue.
"SHUT UP!" Yelled Billie Joe. "Not everyone wants to hear it!" he hissed.
"Billie Joe Armstrong? Am I detecting jealousy?" asked Gemma. Hmmm that wouldn't surprise me, Billie Joe did like Mel.
"No Gemma Something or other Ruddle, no jealousy, just....I don't really wanna know about Tre's sex life considering I haven't had a decent serve myself in ages."
I laughed, 'True true' I thought to myself.
Hayley looked hurt, she stood up and walked up the stairs in the pool, she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her tiny waist. She stormed off inside.
Uh Oh
HAYLEY'S P.O.V.
ASSHOLE!
I hate Billie Joe so much! I can tell he was just using me! I can't believe I was so stupid!
I picked up my t-shirt and pulled it over my head (once I dried myself off a bit) I tugged on some pants and stormed out the front door.
I had no idea where I was going, and I kinda hoped I didn't ruin anything between Tre and Mel or Gemma and Mike. But I was too pissed off at Billie Joe to care.
Tears were running down my face and I could feel my cheeks turning red. I ripped at my hair in frustration, I was having a public breakdown in the middle of the street.
MEL'S P.O.V.
Gemma and I stumbled after Hayley and Billie Joe sank deep into the water.
"Where do you think she would go?" Gemma asked me.
"If you were heartbroken by someone you've had a crush on for ages where would you go?" I said.
"Knowing Hayles. She would have went to her ex-boyfriends house!" Gemma looked down at her shoes.
"Alex?" I asked. "Wait...Tre knows Alex...he saw him just before!" I looked at Gemma.
"There could be millions of Alex's in this town! Tre could have only seen one of them!" she hissed as she grabbed my hand and lead me out the door.
"Gemma, maybe we should just let her go, she'll get over it and come back soon. Trust me."
Gemma nodded and went back inside. "You're right, she'll need time to get over this, and I don't blame her, but Billie Joe was being an ass to her!"
"Gemma, Billie Joe is a good friend of mine, don't say things like that about him!" I said gently to her.
"Hayley is your friend too, but you don't seem to care about that!" Gemma snapped.
"Of course I do, but...forget it, I'm sorry."
"Yeah, me too, lets just go and hope she comes back, that's all we can do."
Tre was sitting down on the floor when I turned around.
"I guess you heard that." said Gemma looking down at her shoes again.
"Yep." he nodded.
"And....you think...?" Gemma said.
"That you were being totally unfair on Mel for a split second." he looked over at me. "But don't ask me I wouldn't know, I saw this bug and I tried to chase it and it bit me..."
He was thrown completely off course. He totally changed the subject again.
Gemma laughed, "Nice Tre, real nice!"
Tre smiled proudly. "I know!"
Mike and Billie Joe came in. Mike's nose was bleeding.
"Oh my God! Babe what happened!?" asked Gemma running over to help Mike.
"Oh...this? Um..nothing, I slipped. That's all..." his eyes flickered around the room, I could tell Mike was lying.
He went into the bathroom to fix his nose up. I followed him and so did Gemma.
"Gem, you better wait here." I said. "I know Mike, he probably won't talk to anyone else either."
Gemma agreed and went back out to Tre and Billie Joe.
"That was a nice story Mike, now what really happened with your nose?" I asked shutting the door.
"Nothing! Geez, don't worry!" he hissed.
I looked at him, I never thought Mike would keep anything from me...
"Why won't you tell me?" I asked.
BILLIE JOE'S P.O.V.
I can't believe what I did!
***************back in the pool******************
"I wonder where Hayley's gone off to." said Tre.
"That was my fault." I muttered.
"Yeah, it was, why were you so inconsiderate this time Billie Joe?" Mike asked me with a disappointed look.
"I wasn't! I mean...I thought she would take it as a joke...I guess she isn't that type."
"Didn't you see that look on her face Billie?! You should have just shoved a knife through her eye right there!" Tre said in disbelief. "Well maybe not lit-HEY LOOK AT THAT BUG!"
Tre left quickly to chase a little bug and it was me and Mike left.
"Why were you so nasty Billie? That isn't like you! Tre's right, didn't you see that look on poor Hayley's face?!"
I felt my fists clench, who the fuck is he to tell me all this? I couldn't keep it in.
"I thought you had a little more sense then to do that, and I thought you liked Hayley!" Mike snapped again.
I punched Mike, he went sprawling back into the water. He surfaced and, yet again, I had to see another hurt look.
"I don't know if it hurts because that was a hard punch or because my best friend just smacked me down." Mike choked on some water.
"I hate you! You have no right to say that shit to me! I don't care if you go and tell Melonie, because everyone knows you will tell that nosey little...so and so! I really don't care about that! But you, my 'friend', I HATE YOU!" I shouted.
I stormed out of the pool with Mike behind me, and I am pretty sure both of us had tears flowing down our cheeks. And Mike's nose was bleeding.
******************************************************************
That's how it happened.
"Billie Joe, what happened?" asked Gemma.
"He slipped." I lied.
"Really now?" asked Mel with tears in her eyes, she was standing in the hall way. She walked over so her face was close to mine. "How could you do that?" she whispered coldly.
"Do what?" I asked, hoping she didn't know.
"YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO HIM! AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SAID!" She screamed. Tre had a surprised look on his face. He came over and held Mel back, away from me.
"Are you surprised that Hayley is angry and upset with you?! Don't you feel any guilt! Billie Joe, after all this time I've known you, I never ever thought you were so heartless!"
It was evident I had tears running down my cheeks.
"I'm sorry." I spluttered.
Mel shook her head and walked away into her room and slammed the door. Tre followed and Gemma went to go check on Mike.
Alone again.
It's a surprise Tre hasn't walked out on us. After all the times we tease him and mess with his head!
Hopefully he knows we're only kidding.
"Get in touch with your Australian sayings Mike." said Tre in a matter-of-factly voice.
"Like you knew that saying genius!" snapped Mike,
"You didn't know it either Mike....dumbass." I said in Tre's defense.
"Listen to the man, Mike!" Tre rested his arm on my shoulder.
Gemma rolled her eyes and pushed her chair back.
"Let's go." she said dragging Mike by his sleeve.
"Sick of sitting in the backseat of a car, for such a short drive, fuck, we went far!" sang Tre pretending to beat the drums.
"We sit in the back seat, with stupid carpet at our feet." added Mike.
"At least the car smells so nice, why don't we stop for ice..............cream." said Tre again. I smiled.
"You two should be in a band!" said Gemma. "Oh wait......"
"They ARE in a band Gem." Mel rolled her eyes.
"I knew that," she hissed.
"Ice cream, ice cream, lovely lovely ice cream, let's stop for ice cream, I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream." sang (pretty much screamed) Tre.
A group of people screamed and ran over.
"BILLIE JOE! HERE HERE!" they screamed. A bunch of girls had spotted us.
"Ah fuck!" said Tre taking a pen from one of the girls.
"Arrrghhh! GEMMA!" Mel yelled.
"Don't worry Mel, we'll be done soon." I said signing some pictures.
After the girls left Gemma couldn't stop staring at me.
"What?!" I asked.
"You can deal with that EVERYDAY?!" I asked him.
"It's a fact of life, you give a little you get a little." he said simply getting in the car.
"That must be so cool." sighed Gemma.
GEMMA'S P.O.V.
"AARRGGH! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?" screamed Tre.
"What?" asked Mike looking over at him.
"THAT!" he screamed again pointing at a large spider.
"Don't worry Tre it's just a Daddy Long Legs, they won't bite you!" said Mel.
"They don't bite?" asked Mike looking at it.
"Nope."
"I don't care! Don't bring it anywhere near me!" shouted Tre.
"They don't bite huh....well in that case." Mike leaned down and picked up the spider. "I'll call it....Mr. Toxic." he grinned.
Tre gave a little whimper. Mike threw the spider at him.
"OH MY FUCKING GOD! GET IT OFF ME! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!!!" Tre screamed.
"TRE! Calm down!" laughed Billie Joe. "Don't panic or it'll bite you harder!"
"Billie Joe, don't make it worse!" laughed Hayley.
There was about five minutes of Tre screaming, shaking, yelling and biting the air.
"Would you just calm down Tre, the spider is gone!" yelled Mike after Tre accidently bit him.
"Spider go bye bye." Billie Joe said in a childish voice.
"Bye bye?" asked Tre, adopting the same childish voice,
"YES! BYE BYE! ACT YOUR FUCKING AGE NOW WOULD YOU?!" Mike was getting frustrated.
"You need to calm down my friend." said Mel looking at Mike.
*****************************At home******************************
"OH MY GOD!" I heard Mel shout from inside.
"Mel, is everything Ok?" Tre yelled.
He ran inside but stopped at the door. "Oh...I see." he said nodding. "Two strangers in the house talking to Mel...what does that mean in Australia?" he asked me.
"OH MY GOD! IT MEANS JOEL AND JAMES ARE HERE!" Hayley ran inside.
MIKE'S P.O.V.
Gemma ran inside after Hayley did.
"What's going on?" I asked Billie Joe. Billie Joe looked over at Tre who was chasing a butterfly until he fell into a bush.
"OUCH! IT HAS PRICKLY BITS!" He yelled from inside the bush. "Is it an Australian cactus?" he asked.
"It's a rose bush Tre." said Billie Joe pulling him out of the bush. It looked pretty weird. Three guys like us just standing out in the garden, as if we're waiting for something.

"Hi Joel." I smiled back.
"And this is James." Mel pointed to the older guy.
"Hello there." he said putting his hand out. I shook his hand and there was a long silence.
"Me and Joel have to go now anyway Mel, see ya tonight..possibly." said James.
"Go? Now?" she asked, I can tell she was a bit upset.
"Yeah, we need to go see some friends and family and all that shit." Joel rolled his eyes.
"Don't swear kiddo." Joked Gemma.
"I'm 16 Gemz...don't mother me!" he said taking the keys off of his brother.
"Then I'll talk to you later. Bye." Mel walked away into her room.
"Bye," said James after the door slammed shut.
MEL'S P.O.V.
Those stupid boys! They came around just to check the place out, he didn't stay for me!
*KNOCK KNOCK*
"What?" I snapped from inside my room.
"Let me in Mel." It was Tre.
"Leave me alone Tre, just for now." I said holding back my tears.
He opened the door anyway. "Don't try to keep me out." he smiled.
Tre sat down on the bed. I was laying down trying to cover my head in my pillow.
"You can't hide from me Melonie!" Tre said pulling me closer to him.
I shot up and looked at him.
"Melonie?" I asked.
"You're Melonie...I'm Tre, is there a problem?"
"Um...I never thought you would call me Melonie but...whatever." I flopped back down onto my pillow.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Joel and James...the didn't stay long did they?" I said,
"No, they have other things to do I guess." he said trying to comfort me.
"I can't believe it, I didn't get a hug, or anything!" I started to cry again.
"Hey...don't cry!" said Tre wiping the tears away. "It's ok, you'll see them tonight, we can go out for dinner or...something."
I crawled into the blankets and Tre followed.
"Tre, just leave me alone, I'll be out later."
"Never, I'll stay with you until you feel better." he pulled me even closer and snuggled into me. "You know I would stay with you." he wispered. Tre's phone rang. "Ah fuck, hold on."
Tre came back into the room five minutes later. "I gotta go for a sec. But hold on, I'll be back in half an hour!" he smiled and kissed my head. First he said 'one sec' and now it's 'half an hour!'
Another five minutes went by, Billie Joe came in.
"You ok?" he asked.
"Fine, how are you?"
"Dandy!" he grinned. He jumped down onto the bed and kissed me, pushing me down flat on the bed. I pulled away.
"What are you doing?!" I hissed.
"Um...kissing you...I like you..." he said in a confused way.
"Billie Joe! You're with Hayley aren't you?!" I asked him.
"So what?! You're with Tre aren't you?"
"Yeah, and I'm planing to be faithful!" He looked hurt, a shot of guilt came through me.
"I'm sorry." he said. "Really sorry..." he went red in the face.
"Yeah...hey...Tre or anyone doesn't need to know or anything...we can keep it a secret." I gave him a small smile.
"Yeah, Tre shouldn't know." he walked out closing the door softly behind him.
Gemma walked in after him. "DON'T I EVER GET PEACE!?" I yelled. Gemma gave a small laugh,
"Not in this house!" she stood in front of the bed with a motherly look. "Now, Melonie Millar...what is wrong, what has been going on in your life?" she asked.
"My life was going perfect until Bree left it." I said to Gemma with tears welling in my eyes.
"And I know that you and Tre have something." she said winking.
"Yeah, I really love him." I was grinning now, but the tears were running down my face.
"Billie Joe?" she asked,
"What about him?" I looked around, just so I didn't have to look at Gemma.
"Mel...did you have anything with Billie Joe?"
"Not really." I cringed.
"What do you mean by 'Not really?' Mel?" Gemma looked alarmed. "You know he is going out with Hayley."
"Yeah I know, but this was before that," I sighed. "I did like him back then but..." Gemma stopped me.
"What do you think Bree would say?" she asked.
"She'd be angry and disappointed about what I did." It felt like a knife went through me.
"I know, does Billie Joe....know?" she grinned. "Hey that rhymes!"
"Haha, but yeah he does know I'm with Tre, I think..."
BILLIE JOE'S P.O.V.
I walked out and flopped down onto the couch. Mike and Hayley are...around somewhere and I know that Gemma and Mel are in Mel's room.
And I was out here alone.
My mind started going wild, I wondered about all the things I could do if I was with Mel. I started thinking a bit to far, wondering what it would be like if I could spend just a night alone with her...
"BILLIE JOE!"
"Huh?!" I jumped. Hayley's face was in front of me.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Thinking, what did it look like?" I grinned.
"Looked like you were off with the pixies."
The door opened and Tre came back in.
"Where were you?" I asked.
"I have a friend who lives around here and I thought I would go see him, do you remember Alex?" he said quickly.
"I remember him!" I smiled. "Back in friggen 1990!"
"He lives around here. I thought it would be nice to pay the guy a visit. He was pretty happy to see me!"
Hayley looked a bit lost in our conversation.
"I think I might go...sit with Mike," she said slowly.
"I'm going to as well!" I yelled.
"I'm going to go see if Mel is ok." Tre smirked.
TRE'S P.O.V.
I knocked on the door and Gemma opened it. "You're back!" she said smiling.
"Really? I am?!" I joked.
"Oh no, you're not, my mistake." Gemma laughed.
"Is Mel still in here?" I looked in to see her still sitting on the bed. Right where I left her.
"Yeah, I'll leave you two alone though, where are the others?" Gemma asked.
"By the pool or something." I walked inside. I waited until the door shut and Gemma was outside. "Hi babe." I said to Mel, sitting down next to her. I leaned over and kissed her. "You ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine, where did you go?" she asked.
"To see a old friend me and Billie Joe used to know. Alex."
Mel layed down on the bed and sighed.
"I missed you." she smiled.
"I missed you too."
I flopped down next to her and gave her a hug. "I love you." I said quietly in her ear.
WHAT?! I JUST SAID I LOVE YOU! HOLY MOTHER OF FUCKING CHRIST!! That was the first time I had ever said that to a girl...and I meant it! Wow, that's something to remember.
Mel looked up at me. Staring deep into my eyes trying to figure out what just happened.
"I love you too." she smiled softly. I felt like screaming for joy, I wanted to jump around and hold Mel and never let her go, instead I thought it would be easier to give her a kiss.
"You look as though you're about to sleep." I whispered. She reached up and gave me a long kiss. She started unbuttoning my shirt and pulling at my tie, soon, after she acomplished to take my shirt and tie off, she was tugging at my belt.
"Woah, what's with the sudden energy change?" I asked.
"Are you complaining that you're about to get laid?" said Mel with a cheeky grin on her face.
"No!" I said. "That's not like me!" I pulled off her shirt and fiddled around with her bra strap. Why do they make these things so complicated?! I finally got it undone and by then Mel was already begging for more.....
MIKE'S P.O.V.
"GO AWAY!" Screamed Gemma. "MIKE! DON'T YOU DARE!" I held my hands out. And gave Gemma a big push into the pool. She screamed again as she tumbled in. She grabbed my arm and pulled me in with her.
"COLD!" I yelled as I came up to the surface. Gemma pulled my legs, sending me underwater really quickly. I pinched her ass and she jumped about a meter into the air.
"OUCH!" she yelled.
I pulled her close to me and she wrapped her legs around my waist.
"The thing I like about pools is that I can do this and hardly weigh a thing!" she grinned.
"You hardly weigh a thing anyway babe." I sighed.
"Yeah I do, not that much, but I do!"
Billie Joe did a massive bomb into the water. Followed soon after by Hayley.
Gemma rested her head on my shoulder and I started to do a little pretend waltz around the pool.
"I didn't know you could dance Mike!" laughed Gemma.
"I can't I'm just making it up as I go along!"
"Who bets that Tre is up in his room fucking Mel?" yelled Hayley.
"Shhh! Hayles...they probably heard that!" hissed Gemma.
"No they wouldn't! Mel and Tre are probably too busy screaming to care!" I said.
"I think he is though Hayley." Billie Joe said grabbing a floating ring.
Gemma leaned over and kissed me. A big load of water shot over top of me.
"Get a room." laughed Hayley.
*SPLASH!!*
"Guess who!!" yelled Tre as he came to the surface.
"The guy who just did the most biggest bomb I have ever seen?" asked Hayley.
"That's right!"
"Oh my God!" Hayley quickly screamed,
"What?" we all asked.
"I'm in a pool, with Green Day, and they aren't wearing shirts!!" Hayley did a little dance around in circles. "YAY!"
"Did anyone notice I was here?" Asked Tre.
"So...Tre, how was the sex?" I asked.
"MIKE!" Hissed Gemma.
"Great thanks, how's your sex life going Mikey? Gettin' any? At all?" he asked splashing water at me.
"Great, I couldn't ask for better." Gemma blushed.
"Hey guys!" said Mel jumping into the pool, they obviously had time to get changed because Mel was wearing a bikini top and board shorts. Tre swam towards her and pulled her under.
She let out a slight scream before she was completely underwater. Eventually they came up and Tre was laughing.
"Ok...that was weird." said Billie Joe. "There was that long silence when they were gone."
"Did you two really have sex?" asked Hayley.
Gemma rolled her eyes. "Hayley, why are you so dumb?"
"I'm not, he could be joking!" Hayley said in her defence.
"Yeah, it was good too! 'Cause she was all like 'Ohhhh! Tre...yeeeeees!-" Tre was pushed under before he could continue.
"SHUT UP!" Yelled Billie Joe. "Not everyone wants to hear it!" he hissed.
"Billie Joe Armstrong? Am I detecting jealousy?" asked Gemma. Hmmm that wouldn't surprise me, Billie Joe did like Mel.
"No Gemma Something or other Ruddle, no jealousy, just....I don't really wanna know about Tre's sex life considering I haven't had a decent serve myself in ages."
I laughed, 'True true' I thought to myself.
Hayley looked hurt, she stood up and walked up the stairs in the pool, she grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her tiny waist. She stormed off inside.
Uh Oh
HAYLEY'S P.O.V.
ASSHOLE!
I hate Billie Joe so much! I can tell he was just using me! I can't believe I was so stupid!
I picked up my t-shirt and pulled it over my head (once I dried myself off a bit) I tugged on some pants and stormed out the front door.
I had no idea where I was going, and I kinda hoped I didn't ruin anything between Tre and Mel or Gemma and Mike. But I was too pissed off at Billie Joe to care.
Tears were running down my face and I could feel my cheeks turning red. I ripped at my hair in frustration, I was having a public breakdown in the middle of the street.
MEL'S P.O.V.
Gemma and I stumbled after Hayley and Billie Joe sank deep into the water.
"Where do you think she would go?" Gemma asked me.
"If you were heartbroken by someone you've had a crush on for ages where would you go?" I said.
"Knowing Hayles. She would have went to her ex-boyfriends house!" Gemma looked down at her shoes.
"Alex?" I asked. "Wait...Tre knows Alex...he saw him just before!" I looked at Gemma.
"There could be millions of Alex's in this town! Tre could have only seen one of them!" she hissed as she grabbed my hand and lead me out the door.
"Gemma, maybe we should just let her go, she'll get over it and come back soon. Trust me."
Gemma nodded and went back inside. "You're right, she'll need time to get over this, and I don't blame her, but Billie Joe was being an ass to her!"
"Gemma, Billie Joe is a good friend of mine, don't say things like that about him!" I said gently to her.
"Hayley is your friend too, but you don't seem to care about that!" Gemma snapped.
"Of course I do, but...forget it, I'm sorry."
"Yeah, me too, lets just go and hope she comes back, that's all we can do."
Tre was sitting down on the floor when I turned around.
"I guess you heard that." said Gemma looking down at her shoes again.
"Yep." he nodded.
"And....you think...?" Gemma said.
"That you were being totally unfair on Mel for a split second." he looked over at me. "But don't ask me I wouldn't know, I saw this bug and I tried to chase it and it bit me..."
He was thrown completely off course. He totally changed the subject again.
Gemma laughed, "Nice Tre, real nice!"
Tre smiled proudly. "I know!"
Mike and Billie Joe came in. Mike's nose was bleeding.
"Oh my God! Babe what happened!?" asked Gemma running over to help Mike.
"Oh...this? Um..nothing, I slipped. That's all..." his eyes flickered around the room, I could tell Mike was lying.
He went into the bathroom to fix his nose up. I followed him and so did Gemma.
"Gem, you better wait here." I said. "I know Mike, he probably won't talk to anyone else either."
Gemma agreed and went back out to Tre and Billie Joe.
"That was a nice story Mike, now what really happened with your nose?" I asked shutting the door.
"Nothing! Geez, don't worry!" he hissed.
I looked at him, I never thought Mike would keep anything from me...
"Why won't you tell me?" I asked.
BILLIE JOE'S P.O.V.
I can't believe what I did!
***************back in the pool******************
"I wonder where Hayley's gone off to." said Tre.
"That was my fault." I muttered.
"Yeah, it was, why were you so inconsiderate this time Billie Joe?" Mike asked me with a disappointed look.
"I wasn't! I mean...I thought she would take it as a joke...I guess she isn't that type."
"Didn't you see that look on her face Billie?! You should have just shoved a knife through her eye right there!" Tre said in disbelief. "Well maybe not lit-HEY LOOK AT THAT BUG!"
Tre left quickly to chase a little bug and it was me and Mike left.
"Why were you so nasty Billie? That isn't like you! Tre's right, didn't you see that look on poor Hayley's face?!"
I felt my fists clench, who the fuck is he to tell me all this? I couldn't keep it in.
"I thought you had a little more sense then to do that, and I thought you liked Hayley!" Mike snapped again.
I punched Mike, he went sprawling back into the water. He surfaced and, yet again, I had to see another hurt look.
"I don't know if it hurts because that was a hard punch or because my best friend just smacked me down." Mike choked on some water.
"I hate you! You have no right to say that shit to me! I don't care if you go and tell Melonie, because everyone knows you will tell that nosey little...so and so! I really don't care about that! But you, my 'friend', I HATE YOU!" I shouted.
I stormed out of the pool with Mike behind me, and I am pretty sure both of us had tears flowing down our cheeks. And Mike's nose was bleeding.
******************************************************************
That's how it happened.
"Billie Joe, what happened?" asked Gemma.
"He slipped." I lied.
"Really now?" asked Mel with tears in her eyes, she was standing in the hall way. She walked over so her face was close to mine. "How could you do that?" she whispered coldly.
"Do what?" I asked, hoping she didn't know.
"YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO HIM! AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SAID!" She screamed. Tre had a surprised look on his face. He came over and held Mel back, away from me.
"Are you surprised that Hayley is angry and upset with you?! Don't you feel any guilt! Billie Joe, after all this time I've known you, I never ever thought you were so heartless!"
It was evident I had tears running down my cheeks.
"I'm sorry." I spluttered.
Mel shook her head and walked away into her room and slammed the door. Tre followed and Gemma went to go check on Mike.
Alone again.
