Fame, Fortune, and Green Day, chapter 22
"La...I think we need to get you a bigger size."
"No No...I'll make it fit." Laura said, still trying to squeeze into the too small dress.
"Laura honey...I don't wanna have to pay for a broken dress and a dress in the right size so just take it off." Bee said patiently.
'Yea La. I gotta agree with Bee. Your definitely gonna need a bigger size. Cuz your fat ass isn't gonna fit in that one." Avi said bluntly. Laura smacked Avi hard across the head and then began to cry.
"Ow" Avi said rubbing her head.
"Nice work Avi. Really great job." Bee said going over to Laura and rubbing her back.
"It's...it's not m...my fault I'm pr...pregnant." Laura said, still sobbing.
"Like hell it isn't. It takes two people to have a fuck fest Laura. I doubt Mikey did it himself." Bee glared at Avi.
"Don't worry we'll get you a bigger size and you'll look beautiful."
"Bu...but the wedding's only in 2 weeks." Laura said.
"Relax I'm marrying Billie Joe Armstrong. I say jump, they say how high." Bee was doing the final preperations for the wedding, which included getting Laura her dress in a bigger size. She felt bad for Laura, but at the same time wished she could choke her. Laura was so emotional that pretty much everyone wanted to choke her, even Tre, who was generally the one who was on everyone's nerves. Mike was no exception. He felt bad for making her this way so he didn't say anything, but it wasn't easy keeping your cool with someone who cried at the drop of a hat. Bee was happy when Mike picked Laura and Avi up. Her and Billie were going out to go grocery shopping. Sure, it was grocery shopping, but it was an opportunity for them to DO something together. Seeing as Bee was always getting dragged away for wedding stuff, or to help Laura shop for baby stuff and maternity clothes. today she had an appointment with the doctor to find out the sex of her babies. She was having twins, which was why she was so big and had to get a bigger size dress at least 3 times so far. Bee walked out into the parking lot and spotted Billie waiting for her in his BMW. She cheerfully ran tot eh car and got in.
"So how did it go?" he asked after giving her a long kiss.
"It was one big fucking train wreck. Avi made La cry again."
"Oh God. Not again."
"Yeap." Bee turned on the radio and they sang the rest of the way to the store.
"Can we buy some apple turnovers?" Bee asked Billie on their way to the checkout.
"We can buy anything your little heart desires."
"Yay!" Bee said, leading Billie toward the bakery. He was pushing a large cart full of groceries and snacks. All of a sudden Bee stopped dead.
"What's the...holy fuck I'll kill him." Coming towards them was Julian. The guy that had almost broken Bee and Billie up for good. Bee grabbed Billie's hand and tried to pull away before Julian caught up with them.
"Wait! Bee...wait! Please? I....I just wanted to apologize." Billie turned around, stopping Bee, and allowed Julian to catch up.
"Hurry your ass up. We don't have all day." Billie said impatiently. He had a death grip on Bee's hand.
"I...I...what I did was wrong. I should never have said what I did. I shouldn't have started a fight."
"No shit sherlock. Let's go Billie." They turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Julian called out. "Could I help that maybe I was a little jealous? I mean it took me so long to realize I let something good go, and by the time I realized I was too late. It hurts a little...well...actually alot. Ya know?" Neither Billie nor Bee spoke.
"Well yea. I just wanted to say sorry. You're a really lucky guy Billie. Don't make the same mistake I did. Good luck with the wedding, and I hope life treats you well." He turned to walk away. Bee looked at Billie. Billie groaned. She was so cute and innocent.
"Wait dude!" Julian turned around. "Wedding in 2 weeks. October 25th." Billie reached into his pocket and pulled out an invitation, causing Bee to give him a quizzical look. He handed the invite to Julian and patted him on the shoulder.
"See ya there." he said. Julian just nodded. He gave a little wave and then walked away. When he was out of earshot Bee finally spoke.
"What was that all about? And uh..Billie why do you keep invitations in your pocket?"
"Well I had to feel sorry for fuckface there. He let you go and now is kicking himself for it. You gotta feel sorry for a shit like that. And the invitations...well you never know who you're gonna see out that you forgot to invite." Bee laughed as they got in line to pay and gave Billie a kiss on the cheek.
"That was sweet of you Billie Joe Armstrong." she said.
"What can I say? I felt sorry for the little shit." he replied.
"I just hope he doesn't try to pull any ahit at the wedding." Bee said.
"Don't worry...I'll kick his ass. No one will ruin our special day."
"No No...I'll make it fit." Laura said, still trying to squeeze into the too small dress.
"Laura honey...I don't wanna have to pay for a broken dress and a dress in the right size so just take it off." Bee said patiently.
