Wake Me Up When September Ends...., chapter 1
Billie Joe shivered as he stepped out into the cold Mississippi air. He wrapped his jacket tighter around him and began to walk down the busy streets.
The reason he was in Mississippi was because of his recent split with Adrienne. He just needed to get away.
Billie Joe found a small café and he stepped inside. It was alright but it was pretty busy. He decided to stay though because he couldn't be bothered to go and find another empty café in the cold weather.
He got a table by the window and he started to study the menu.
"You ready to order sir?" A voice asked and Billie Joe looked up. "Yeah I'll have the soup and can I get a root beer with that please." Billie Joe replied and handed the waitress the menu. He turned around in his seat so he could watch her walk away.
She was beautiful.
She had long brown hair which was tied back and bright blue eyes, She was small and she looked young.
She was wearing black dickies pants and a striped top which hugged every curve on her body. Also she looked Latin-American or something.
Billie Joe went back to looking out the window and he started to think about what he could say to her.
Soon after she came back with his food. She leant over him while putting his food down.
"Thanks a lot... So are you guys normally this busy?" He said, Trying to get her to stay longer.
Whatever it was with this girl he just couldn't get enough of her.
"Yeah we are... Billie Joe right?" She asked sitting down opposite him when he motioned to.
"Yeah... You a fan?" He asked while smiling and taking a drink of his root beer. "Defiantly" She replied while playing with one of the many bracelets on her small arms.
"I'm Lena by the way" She added and Billie Joe smiled." Beautiful name" He said. "Thanks."
Lena had just finished her shift so she could stay and chat with Billie.
"So tell me more about yourself" He asked when they had finished talking about Mississippi.
"I moved here from Cuba when I was seven with my mother and my sister. My dad died when I was four, He... He got shot, I'm now twenty-eight and I live in a small crappy flat... Alone" Lena replied.
So she's single... Billie Joe thought.
"What about you?" Lena asked bringing Billie out of his thoughts.
"I'm from Oakland California and I'm down here for two weeks for a break, I have two kids Joey, who's eleven and Jakob who's seven.
I'm just recently separated from my wife and my dad also died. He died from Cancer when I was ten." Billie Joe finished and Lena looked sad.
"What happened with your wife... If you don't mind me asking"
Billie Joe sighed and looked straight into Lena's eyes.
"Its ok... I guess it was because I was spending so much time in the studio while making American Idiot and well with all the touring things just got really tough for us." Billie Joe said and he felt tears coming to his eyes.
Lena didn't notice because her cell-phone started to ring.
"Excuse me.." She said and leant over and got it from her bag.
"Hello... Yes it is... What? No... No Please... Shit... I'll be right there." By the time Lena had finished on the phone she had tears streaming down her face.
"What's wrong?" Billie Joe asked.
"My apartment has been broken into everything is either trashed or gone... " She cried as she got up and grabbed her bag. "I have to go... I'm sorry" She said and kissed Billie on the cheek.
"Hold on... I'll come with you.." Billie Joe said and they both left the café.
