A Hurricane Of Fucking Lies, chapter 3
Joey got home around 10:30. He walked home because he didn't feel like talking to Mark, he just wouldn't understand why he was so upset. He would probably think it was cool that his mom was a stripper. Anyway Joey walked through the front door and into the living room, where he found Billie Joe and 13 year old Jakob playing Clue on the floor.
"Hey Joe, your home early," remarked Billie Joe.
"Wheres Gena?" mocked Jakob and Joey flicked him off.
"What the hell was that for Joey?" asked Billie Joe.
"He's being an asshole, Dad. Me and Gena broke up and the shithead knows it!" yelled Joey and then he stormed off into his room, now pissed more then ever. Then he thought. He thought about Gena. He thought about his parents. Lastly, he thought about the year 2006, when Billie Joe and Adrienne had a bad fight that split them up for a good two years. He lived with Billie Joe and Jakob. He knew that Adrienne could have easily slept with someone because no one was around.
*Flashback to the fight in 2006*
"Damn it Adrienne, you know I love you, so why do you think I don't!" yelled Billie Joe to Adrienne in their bedroom. 11 and 8 year old Jakob were in the living room. Jakob was crying and Joey was trying his best not to cry and be strong for Jakob's sake.
"But you're never fucking home! Always working on a new album, touring, or getting drunk with your asshole friends, Mike and Tre!" Adi yelled back.
"Don't bring them into this. You know I don't get drunk that much anymore for the boys sake. And you married me knowing I was gonna be gone sometimes!" he yelled.
"And now I'm gonna leave for a good year just like you do!" Adi yelled and she begin to pack a suitcase. That made Joey cry. He didn't want his mom to leave him and his brother.
Adi stomped down stairs, suitcase in hand. "Bye boys, I'll call every day to check up on you." She came over and gave them each a hug and a kiss. "Bye Jakob, mommy will miss you."
"Don't leave mommy!!" said Jakob and he gripped her leg. She gently lifted him off, pat him on the head, and went over to Joey.
"Take care of your brother for me, I'll be back as soon as your father cools down."
"How long is that gonna be, mom?" Joey asked, he was in tears.
"I don't know. Could be days, months, or years. But I promise I will come back because I love your dad and you boys so much." she promised. She gave the boys one last hug and left.
*End of Flashback*
Joey buried his head in his pillow that Febuary night and for the first time since that night in 2006, he cried himself to sleep.
"Hey Joe, your home early," remarked Billie Joe.
"Wheres Gena?" mocked Jakob and Joey flicked him off.
