Can, chapter 2
"Hey! Dude! Where the hell have you been?!"
"Around, in a way. Hey lets go do something. Just me you and Tre. Sorry but I sorta have a limited time here."
"Sure lets go! Its really great to see you man! Wow, you look... You look... The same, but totally different."
"Thanks, I guess."
We got to Tre`s house and the same thing happened. (When your gone for a long time, a lot of the same things are said and done. )
We went to the school, and looked at some stuff. Then we went to dinner at some resteraunt.
"Mike?" Tre asked.
"Yea" I said with a smile.
"Why didnt you come earlier? Why did you wait so long? We missed you man. You broke us into pieces."
"You think it was easy leaving here? I couldn't see you. My parents were working, I couldn't drive, I was like 12. My parents stopped caring. They were never home, it was just me and Myla. They still aren't. It's not that I forgot about you, its just that I gave up on thinking about you both, I didnt think I was ever going to see you. It was the hardest time in my life. I'm really sorry, but I didnt have a chance."
"Wow. I didnt think your parents would go down like that. I'm really sorry. I feel stupid asking you that quiestion now."
"Yea, sorry" they both sympothized.
"Don't be sorry, you didnt know. But its all different now, I've got Anastacia, and now I'm sitting here with my two best friends! And I stopped... You know, cutting. But the wierdest, most akward thing I found out the yesterday day. She does too."
"Does what?" they both asked confused
"I was kissing her. She remembered my cuts. So she slowly lifted my shirt off, and kissed my scars. All of them. I wanted her to stop. I had that face, you know? She saw me and stopped. She said 'I need to tell you something. ' and I was like 'What? ' So she slowly lifted her shirt up to the top of her stomach. I couldn't believe it. I looked at her stomach of scars. The same as mine. She said she needed to feel. It was the only thing she could control. I was like 'I know exactly how that feels. ' so I kissed her scars. She exchanged faces with me and then, I stopped and told her she never had to feel that way again. So we both stopped." I paused. "Oh." I said remembering my most recent cut.
"Oh what?" Billie asked, Tre with a very concerned look on his face.
"Well, ok I know I said we both quit, but I needed to feel something."
"Mike." Tre said looking and sounding dissapointed in me.
"Well you don't know the whole story, ok? Well after I got off the phone with you both. I missed her, so I went over to see her. I got to her house. She answered it crying. I asked her what was the matter, and she told me that her parents wouldn't let me see her any more. They said I wasnt 'her type'. They don't spend enough time with her to know what her 'type' is. But she handed me a note telling me she'd never leave me and that she didnt mean what she said. Her dad just needed 'proof' she gave me up. I didnt read it till I got home, but before I remembered I had it I was looking for Pap- uhh my knife. It was stabbed into the side of my matress. I grabbed it and carved Anastacia into both of my arms." I showed them. They looked at them like they were frightened by me. I hated that look. I covered my arm.
"Mike, why- whe- wher- who did you get that knife from? And, promise me your done with it. Please, I'd be worrying about you for a long time." Tre worried. I could tell that Billie Joe had the same exact thought.
"Well, I'm pretty sure I'm done with him. But desperate times call for desperate measures. I'll try to stay away from him, maybe even have Myla hide him. But its complicating. But I can promise you I'll try."
"I guess thats close enough"
"When do you guys start school?"
"School? Well... Uhhh. We might not go back. See, we're trying to get a band together. Tre`s on drums, I'm lead guitar and vocals. Tre`s got a voice as well. But we don't have a bassist. And we're having additions soon."
"Oh. Well, I was gonna ask what you were doing after school, but I can see. Beacause me and Ana are moving with Myla for the small while and then getting a place of our own. I was maybe gonna find a place around here, so I wouldn't be... Be... Just some kid on the block with no where to go when I'm home alone. But a band, thats great. I've played drums, guitar, and some bass when I was younger. A ban-"
"Did you just say you've played bass!?"
"Yea, why?"
"Mike! Lets see some skills man!"
"Oh you just said you needed a bass player huh?! Oh ok sorry."
"Come on guys we're going back to my place, quick! Before Mike's 'limit' runs out." he said carcastically. So we hopped in the car and then sped off to Billie'shouse.
"In the living room, come on." We rushed through his house to his living room and got set up. He handed me the bass and Tre`got settled on the drum set as Billie strapped on his guitar and plugged in both our instraments and the mic.
"Here read this for a minute." he handed me a sheet of music that read "Sweet Children" I looked at it trying to remember what I had learned when I was a kid. I started to play the first riff. They both looked at me in shock and amazment.
Am I really that bad?" I asked unsure of why they were staring
"What are you talking about! Mike, your amazing! Tre count off. MIke that's exactly how I wanted it to sound!"
" 1-2, 1-2-3-4"
" " Billie started to sing.
"STOP,
STOp,
STop,
Stop,
stop." Billie said sounding softer and softer each time he said it.
"We've got ourselves a band!" Billie said excitedly. I liked thge Idea. But then I remembered Ana adn our plans.
"Billie Tre`? I don't know if I can follow your plan. I had a plan, planned out and now... I don't know. Me and Anastacia were going to have a kid and live with Myla for a year untill we raised enough money, and we just had it all figured out. I cant deal with this whole bamd thing right now. I don't think I can be with your band you guys, I'm really sorry." They had the worst looks on their faces.
A couple minutes of silence past until Billie had an idea.
"Duh! Why doesnt she just come with us? I'm sure me and Tre will meet some one as well. PLease Mike! PLease! We need you, alot. We cant afford to lose you again. Please, just think about it, discuss it with her. Then we'll all have lunch or something and then we'll discuss it, Anastacia and all. Come on, you cant tell me playing bass wasnt powerfull to you. I know you felt good playing it, you didnt he'sitate to play. Come on. PLease!" Billie urged
"I'll talk to her ok? I guess your Idea isnt bad. But when you say 'Come with us' what do you mean? Its not like you have someone waiting for us? Do you even have a name for the band?" I thought about it in my head. I realy did want to, and I rally loved to play. I always had.
"Sweet Children. And yes, we have a producer waiting for us at Lookout records. One of my friends. We've got it covered. He said me and Tre coulod have a record alone, but we need a bass player because, then it just sounds like there's something missing. And I've found that missing ingrediant. Please Mike. Please, we cant even begin to tell you how much this means to us." Tre pleaded.
"Ok. I say yes to your plan, I guess. But no dicisions are made with out my baby. And don't laugh at that, Ill punch you as hard as I can."
"Ok ok geeze. Well, if you get an answer out of her, call us ok? And we'll meet up."
"Ok, but I really need to go. It aws really nice to see you guys. Really great. I'll talk to you guys reall soon alright?"
"Ok, we love you man. See you soon." They really we're my brothers. " Love you to. That does sound a little wierd to say though. Oh well, I could say we're brothers, couldn't I?"
"Absolutly. See ya." They both said waving good bye as I drove off in my car.
I got home and was about to go say Hi to Ana, but I saw that her dad was home. She ws up in her room and she looked out her window because she heard my car or something. She looked out her window and blew a kiss to me. "I love you." She said as quietly as she caould. I could barely hear it, but I got the message. We stared at each other for a small while and then I realized her dad was home. I blew her a kiss good bye and walked up to my front door, thinking about what had happened between me and Tre and Billie. I opened the door and walked inside. I said Hi to Myla and then went into the kitchen for some grub.
"How was every one?"
"Alright. They started a band and they want me to be in it. Tre has a friend with Lookout records waiting to record us. I would be the bass player. I want to do it, but what about our plans? Me and Ana wanted to live together and eventually have kids and we wanted to be together forever. I don't know what she will say. I'm not making any dicisions without her. I just hope I can be happy with the dicision she does make. I've never been more... More... Undecided in my life."
" Well youll be over it in a couple of days when she gives you an answer."
"Yea I guess so. But I need to be with her no matter what. But I still need Billie and Tre."
"Band, whats it called."
"Oh, uuhhh Sweet Children."
"Thats catchy."
"Yep. I'm going upstairs. Night, maybe I'll come back down later but if not that good night."
"Ok night sweetie. See you in the morning."
I walked up to my room and turned on my music. I took off my shirt (Me: oooooo sexy. ) and started a shower. I got in, got out, got some pants on and then the phone rang.
Mike! Phone!" I assumed it was Anastacia. I ran down stairs and grabbed the phone.
"Its your hunny hahaha I'm kidding, but yea it is her." She said cacastically. "Thanks sister." I said in a pissy tone. "Sassy are we?" I impersonated her and ran up to my room before she chucked something at me.
"Hello? Hi baby how were you today? I'm so sad I didnt get to see you? What? Oh I went to Berkley because I needed to see some old friends. Which reminds me. Ana I need to ask you something. Ok I need to know what you think about me and my friends... Starting a band."
"Well I think thats great. But its just a band. I mean I think its great but its no big deal, no offence. But you didnt need to ask me anything about that."
"Well, I didnt get to the asking part honey."
"Oh, ok sorry. Go on."
"Ok babe. My friends from elementary school, Billie and Tre want to have this band, be... Out there. As in, produced and sold. A record."
"Well honey I think thats awsome! I'll be a rock stars girl friend! Haha that sounds fun!" Haha. UUmmm well, see. I know we're gonna get a producer. Not sure about being big or anything, but Tre`'s friend owns lookout records and he want to give us a deal. That means we might get big. And if we do, tour happenes and then our plan gets destroyed." I said that last sentance very quickly.
"What? But Mikey, what about Myla and a house near here and... Emily? What about our plans? Mikey?"
"I knew it. I'll just tell the guys they need a knew bassist. Its ok. I mean, no. No. Ana what about the fact that plans change? I mean. I guess I cant really see why not. I mean I can, because I know you rally liked those plans. And I did too, but I really want this, Ana! I'm really sorry. I rally want to do this though. And its not like we still cant have a kid. And I'm taking you with me on tour and stuff. Come on Ana!"
"Mikey, its not about the plans. Its about you getting big and then you'll have to go on tour. And if we have a kid at that point they won't let you bring us, babe? I cant be sepertated from you like that. I mean, I'm sure by then you'll have been on tour for like months at a time. But, its going to be the worst being seperated. All I'm scared of is not being able to se you for a long time. I mean, I don't want to screw up your dream or whatever but-"
"No, thats not it. You wouldn't screw up anything. I wouldn't put sometihng on you like that. It wouldn't be your fault. But, I'd tell you the hotels we were at. And I'd pay for you to stay at them, and I'd call you every day, and I really think we could do this if we tried. I don't want you to do something you don't want to do. But, this could be good for us, you know? What if this turned out to be a great thing? We'd have money for things. Important things and our kid could have a great place to live in and great things to grow up with. I mean, I know you wanted the other plans, but please baby, just think about it. Please? For me, just promise me you'll think about it. Thats all I want you to do is think about it. Ok?" I was really sure I wanted this. And I didnt want to pressure or push her into saying yes. So I just really hope she'll think about it.
"Ok well when you put it that way it doesnt sound that bad. But I still need to think about it. I'm not promising any thing other than thiking about it. But, I guess it doesnt sound as bad as did."
"Thanks baby! Ok well now than, how was you day?"
"It was alright. I missed you though. After my dad came home I was depressed, cause that meant I couldn't sneak out to see you. Its really complicating not being able to see you."
"Yea, but we'll get used to it. I love you babe." I told her.
"I love you too, but I have to go. I'm baby sitting the little neighbor kids at my house. Oh yeah! Thats what I called for! My parents arent coming home till around 5 A. M. Do you wanna come help me?" Of course I did!
"Of corse I do!" told you.
"Ok hurry I miss you!"
"Ok I'm on my way. See you in like, 30 seconds!"
"I'm counting. Ha ha ha."
"Bye" We both hung up and I ran down stairs.
"Going to Ana's to help baby sit. Her parents arent home! Bye!"
"Ok! Bye! Be home sooner or later though kid." I ran out the front door and sprinted to hers.
I rang the door bell.
"Hi!" I smiled as she answered I kissed her and we made out until the baby was crying.
"Damn! Ok go sit on the couch or something I'll be right back."
"Ok." I said sounding sad, pouting my lips. She softly kissed my cheek and whispered "I'll be right back."
I walked into her house and then sat on her couch. I waited for her to come back down stairs from the baby, and when she didnt, I went upstairs to find her.
"Ana? Where did you go babe?"
"Shhh over here, Mikey." She quietly said to me. I walked into her room where she was putting the baby to sleep.
"She's beautiful. Whats her name?"
"Estelle. She's 10 months old. Her parents had to go do some buisness job as usual. They're never home and I've basically raised her. She's over almost every day. Why would you have a kid if you couldn't raise it? I mean, she doesnt even know the word mom, she knows Ana. Why would anyone do that? Mikey, what if that happens to us? What if our kid doesnt know your name if your gone? Mikey? Thats what I don't want to happen to us. What if I have the kid and then you go on tour or something?"
"No, that wouldn't happen because we'd tour for a record and then be done for a while. Then I'd be all yours. After a tour you can usually settle down for a while and then eventually you make a new record. I asked the guys. They got my back on this, and they want me to do this. And they really want to meet you."
"Ok, Ill give you an answer by the end of tonight. But now I have to get her to sleep. Want to help?"
"UUuuhhhh sure I guess"
"Ok just hold her head like this and then hold the rest of her body with your other arm like this." She positioned me the way I was sopposed to hold Estella and then I sat on her bed.
"Around, in a way. Hey lets go do something. Just me you and Tre. Sorry but I sorta have a limited time here."
"Sure lets go! Its really great to see you man! Wow, you look... You look... The same, but totally different."
"Thanks, I guess."
We got to Tre`s house and the same thing happened. (When your gone for a long time, a lot of the same things are said and done. )

"Damn! Ok go sit on the couch or something I'll be right back."
"Ok." I said sounding sad, pouting my lips. She softly kissed my cheek and whispered "I'll be right back."
I walked into her house and then sat on her couch. I waited for her to come back down stairs from the baby, and when she didnt, I went upstairs to find her.
"Ana? Where did you go babe?"
"Shhh over here, Mikey." She quietly said to me. I walked into her room where she was putting the baby to sleep.
"She's beautiful. Whats her name?"
"Estelle. She's 10 months old. Her parents had to go do some buisness job as usual. They're never home and I've basically raised her. She's over almost every day. Why would you have a kid if you couldn't raise it? I mean, she doesnt even know the word mom, she knows Ana. Why would anyone do that? Mikey, what if that happens to us? What if our kid doesnt know your name if your gone? Mikey? Thats what I don't want to happen to us. What if I have the kid and then you go on tour or something?"
"No, that wouldn't happen because we'd tour for a record and then be done for a while. Then I'd be all yours. After a tour you can usually settle down for a while and then eventually you make a new record. I asked the guys. They got my back on this, and they want me to do this. And they really want to meet you."
"Ok, Ill give you an answer by the end of tonight. But now I have to get her to sleep. Want to help?"
"UUuuhhhh sure I guess"
"Ok just hold her head like this and then hold the rest of her body with your other arm like this." She positioned me the way I was sopposed to hold Estella and then I sat on her bed.
