School Days to Green Day, chapter 5
I woke up in the morning to find myself on a bed beside Mike. I sat up and lifted the duvet. I was wearing my Green Day T-shirt and jeans. I saw my jeans on the floor and decided to pick them up but Mike grabbed me. I shuffled around to face him and smiled.
"Good morning..." I said.
"Same to you.."
I giggled and he gave me a peck on the cheek. I wondered if we really had-it...
"Errrr... Mike. Did we have it?" I asked.
"No. You just dozed off and I laid you on my bed... Sitting on a chair while sleeping isn't nice y' know.."
"Thanks... I must go now."
"Why, you can stay with us until the tour ends"
"And when will that be?" I asked.
"Errr..." Mike paused, "That's a no then?"
"No! I would love to... But... I just want us to be together. That's all I want..."
"Sure, when this tour ends we can spend so much time together!"
And we did.
*********************
Me and Mike spent 1 whole year together.
When it was my birthday in 1995 I had a very strange present from Mike. Ok... It wasn't weird but I loved it. It also gave me the chance to play in a band. He gave me a Fender Percussion Bass. In his spare time he taight me how to play it and the basics and all. I was even given the chance to play along with one of my favourite Green Day songs - Basket Case.
Later in that year my spastic friend had a boyfriend who needed a bassist for their band well... I was that bassist. We played shows in punk clubs and held parties in out houses. We didn't even care if we trashed the house or not, as long as we had fun... We're fine!
He did go away for tours, shows etc... But we did keep in contact. I was away for shows as well, me and the band played small shows all around New York and America. We were offered a record deal but we turned it down because we didn't want to be that famous... We didn't want girls screaming all over the place saying how "hawt" the lead singer was. We played it cool.
I didn't have time to contact to contact Mike because we were playing full time and screaming all the time. It was just what I dreamed for... Being in a band, being a free spirit, and dating and Rock Star?! Oooh errrrr. We felt that we were drifting away from each other and thought that it wouldn't work. We both thought it would be better if we were best mates. Nothing else.. Nothing more than that, just best mates...
*********************
In July 1996 I received an invite to Mike's wedding. I had thoughts in my head should I go or not. Reason why I should go, because I'm his best friend... I must be there. Why I shouldn't go, incase I bring chaos to the wedding. I decided to go... As I wanted to be there for him.
August 1996 - The day went smoothly... Although I felt sick the moment when Mike and his new wife kissed. I sat down and Adrienne came up to me.
"Hey... Madison" She said.
"Hi..."
"You look down... Whats the matter?" And sat down beside me. She looked at Mike and Anastasia walk past with a huge crowd behind them. "Oh I see... I sense jelousy do I?"
"NO! I'm not jelous!"
"Then why are you here... With a bottle of champagne?" She paused. "You're Mike's best mate arn't you?"
"Yup."
"Then you should be happy for them!"
"Yeah I am... But..."
"But what?"
"Today was one day after we broke up last year!"
"So? That doesn't give you the excuse to be moody!" And took away the bottle and glass of champagne.
"OI! I was gonna drink that!"
"But you didn't before. Drinking alcohol ain't gonna solve your problems. You know what you should do?"
"What?" I sat up.
"Go up there and congratulate them and get to know Anastasia a bit better."
"I can't do that!"
"Yes you can. All you gotta do is beleive in yourself!" She paused. "Now I'm off to find Billie now and join that big party of strangers I don't even know. Coming?"
I stared at the big group and then I looked at Adrienne. "Lets go!"
We joined the big group and found Billie Joe. Adrienne kissed him and then gave him the bottle of champagne that I was drinking. She then pointed to Mike and Anastasia. Slowly I walked up to them and...
"Hey! Madison, nice to see you here! I didn't think that you were coming!" Mike said.
"Oh... So this is Madison. Nice to meet you!" Anastasia said with a smile.
I couldn't think of anything to say so I blurted out, "Nice to meet you too... And Congrats with the marriage!"
"Thank you so much. Care for a glass of champagne?"
"No thank you... I think I had enough already..." I murmured and walked off to Adrienne and Billie.
"So did you do it?" Adrienne asked.
"Do what? Oh right... Yes" I replied with a smile.
"Told you it'll feel better!"

'Twas the year 2004 and I was still a huge Green Day fan. My band broke up in 2002 since we were considered "oldies" but we were fine with that. We got on with out personal lifes and well, enjoyed it. I never got married or had a boyfriend since that split. I had fears of dying alone, nobody to lay beside when I will be burried. In my heart I felt that... Me and Mike will always be together. Vicky wasn't that much of an idiot now. She's "matured" as her boyfriend says. It's like her boyfriend and her were always together. I was also proud to be her kid's godmother. 33 years old and having a hell of a life time!
My band never made to stardom but in out hearts we were. We still chilled out together and have jamming sessions even though we broke up.
Me and Mike... Thats history now. This is the present, this is NOW. Mike had another marriage (which I was never invited to) but cut short because he spent to much time in the studio and a daughter which was born in 1997.
Who knows what could happen?
"Good morning..." I said.
"Same to you.."
I giggled and he gave me a peck on the cheek. I wondered if we really had-it...
