Livin' With The Gorillaz, chapter 3
Ch. 3- The plan
That night as everyone said their good-byes; I was waving and waiting for Mike to come. BillieJoe and Ashley stopped at the front steps,
"Hey let us drive you to the airport." ; Said Billie Joe.
"Yea, we'll drive you and Mike there so you won't have to go through all the trouble." ; said Ashley. I thought a moment and then agreed.
" I wanna go too so pick me up too!" ; said Denise leaving out the door.
"Yea, ok see you tomorrow at 3:30 a. M." ; I laughed. They all gave a worried face as if to say ' WHAT THE HELL?! 3:30?! ' and then left. Tre shut the door and went to the kitchen to clean up. I went and sat on the couch for a few minuets then Mike finally walked in all soaked in his black raincoat.
"Hey... "; he said as he started to hang up his coat and came and sat by me, putting his arm around me.
"What are you doing here?" ; I started to think how I was going to tell him but I smiled and kissed him quickly.
"Well... Um Mike, remember how I told you I've always wanted to move out to California and live out somewhere close to my dad?" ; he got this suspicious face and nodded.
"Yea... ";
"Well I'm moving out there to some place called Kong Studios." ; I then grabbed a pillow and put it over my head awaiting his reply. At first I thought he was speechless, until he said,
"W-w-w-what?! Why are you moving?!" ;
"Cause I hate it here in Alabama and my parents do nothing but fight and my dad said if anything happened to move out there!" ;
"Well you can live with me!" ;
"That's a good idea but can't you go with me?" ; He stood up and walked back and forth. "Lex I've lived there in California before and I left there for a reason! It's filled with chaos and trouble!" ; I nodded and smiled.
"Yea but I have a family there too! They'd like you, I swear! Please come with me!" ; he thought a moment and spoke,
"I don't have the money, though." ;
"You could always save up until you do and then come out there, I'll meet you there!" ; I took his hand.
"Please?" ; I gave a puppy dogface. He laughed and hugged me.
"Alright, I'll give it another chance." ; Tre popped in the living room and sighed.
"You two are freakin unbelievable." ;
That night, while Mike and me slept on the fold out couch/bed thingy. I had this weird dream that I was living in the same place as the Gorillaz did! I saw 2-D goofing around and Murdoc fussing at him and Noodle kicking Russel's ass with her killer karate moves. I was speechless when I woke up that morning. Mike got up and began fixing some coffee; he was only wearing his stupid guitar boxers, that man loves his guitars. I got out of bed and walked into the kitchen hugging Mike, he was so warm. Tre was up as well talking on the phone with Billie Joe, apparently he was on his cell phone cause Tre was saying,
"Alright so you'll be here in a few minuets? Where are you now?" ; I went and sat down at the table with my cup of coffee. Mike was looking for something to eat and seeing how we're all still teenagers Tre isn't a very resourceful person, all he had in the fridge were sodas and ice cream. In the cabinets was nothing but empty boxes of cereal and fast food wrappers. Mike began cursing and moaned.
"Tre don't you ever go grocery shopping?" ; Tre hung up his cell phone and shook his head.
"Nope I eat out a lot!" ; he said with a stupid smile. Mike picked up a Burger King wrapper and threw it into the trash.
"I can tell." ; I laughed a little and took another sip of my coffee.
"We'll just get something at the airport, ok?" ; I told them. "They have places we can eat at." ; I then gulped down the rest of my coffee and got up to get ready. Of course all I had to do was put on a new shirt and put on my bear cap and I was ready! Tre then came in the living room; Mike was putting his clothes on at the time. Tre started to fold up the couch when Billie Joe and Ashley and Denise pulled up on the side of the road at 3:14 am blazing the damn horn through the neighborhood. We could hear Ashley screaming at Billie Joe and Denise laughing at them,
"QUIT! YOUR GONNA GET US IN TROUBLE!" ; she yelled. We laughed and they then came inside and plopped down on the couch, which Tre did so hard to fold up. A few minuets later we piled into the car after loading up my stuff and headed towards the airport.
