When You Wish You had Forgotten..., chapter 3
"So wait a second..." Tre said later. trying to make sense of Mikes jumbled and excited story. "You met Amira?"
Mike smiled at her name. "Yep,"
"Wow. Huh.... So is something gonna happen between you two?" He asked, his eyebrows raised.
"I dunno..." It was true. As much as Mike wanted it, he couldn't be sure that she felt the same as he did.
"Hm... She was so fucking hot... Damn... " Tre thought aloud, evoking a blatant glare from Mike.
"But Mike... Be careful... " said Billie worriedly. "I know that you love her still... But you two have way different lives now. She's like this corporate girl now and you're sorta... Well, I mean, you have the tour and she has her job."
Mike just nodded along, obviously not paying attention. Billie sighed.

All three of them were backstage before the show. They had an hour or so, but just sat there on the few couches in the dressing room.
"Maybe she decided not come... " said Mike suddenly.
"What the fuck, Mike! Stop talking about her," Tre said exasperatedly. "You've said that at least four times, how great she is at least three and how amazing its you met seven! Okay? We understand!"
"I know... " sighed Mike and he leaned back and closed his eyes.
"Mike... Would you please just be careful?" Billie said worriedly. "It's just that you two have different lives. She's like this corporate lady and you're... you're just... Well, I mean, you have the tour and she has a job... "
Mike just nodded along, not paying attention. Billie sighed heavily.

All three of them sat backstage before the show. They had an hour or so, but weren't motivated at all. To do anything. So each of them sat on either a couch or chair, randomly throwing thoughts in to the room.
"Maybe she decided not to come... " Mike said suddenly.
"What the fuck, Mike? Stop talking about her," said Tre exasperatedly.
"I know... " he sighed, leaned back and closed his eyes. Quiet resumed. "But she said she'd be here over 20 minutes ago... "
Tre and Billie look at each other and grinned. They both leapt up silently and advanced toward the oblivious Mike. Billie swiftly grasped his arms and Tre the legs.
"FUCK!" Mike screamed, now hoisted in to the air by his limbs. "Let me the fuck down! I thought you were over this immature shit,"
Laughing, they began to swing him slightly.
"Sooo... " Tre said, taking his time with the 'o'. "Now that we've got you here, I'd like to say something... " The swing increased and Mike squirmed.
"Now, now... We can't have this," Billie said in a tone mockful of his mother.
Tre grinned. "Yeah... Do you seriously want to extend your time?"
Mike just groaned.
"Okay. Now that we've agreed on appropriate behavior, we have to discuss the topic de jour... Marina. Now both Tre and I know you still have it for her, but she was... a long time ago. She's moved on. You have too... Get me?"
Mike struggled more. "I officially have absolutely no blood in my fingers... "
"Were you listening? Or do I have to repeat myself?" asked Billie sweetly.
"NO! I mean, no thanks. I heard you... " Mike nearly screamed.
"Are you sure? Cause it wouldn't be a problem for me... "
Mike scowled.
"Hm... Well... I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves... " started Tre.
Mike screamed at the top of his lungs and kicked them off.
"You two are insane!"
"Yeah, and you've been with us for how many years now? Think about all of the insanity that's rubbed off... " Billie retorted.
Mike lunged for Billie, but a knock sounded on the door. Mike stood dumbfounded, staring at it. Tre rolled his eyes and opened the door.
"Hey,"
"Hi, um... " a soft voice came.
"You are Marina, I'm Tre. Come in, please,"
A red-faced Marina walked into the room. Billie tried not to gasp. She was amazing.
Mike smiled at her name. "Yep,"
"Wow. Huh.... So is something gonna happen between you two?" He asked, his eyebrows raised.
"I dunno..." It was true. As much as Mike wanted it, he couldn't be sure that she felt the same as he did.
