Back Stage Pass, chapter 2
Suddenly, all of the lights went out and you heard someone anounce on the speakers that they are holding everyone in the room, You, Sam, Danielle, and all of Green Day CAPTIVE! How could this happen, aren't there security men? I mean this is GREEN DAY, there had to have been some sort of security! That's still a mystery because the band knew there was security! This is horrible! But is it? You were thinking... It was only you and the band, this could be a GOOD thing... You grabbed what you thought was Sam's arm and clung to it in fright, but to your surprise, it was a little bigger than you thought. Oh, my... You just touched Tre's arm! You were gonna take your hands off of him, thinking it might offend him, but he actually seemed to like it because he put the rest of his arm around you to comfort you. You felt that blush again, but hey, this time at least he couldn't see it. Everyone clung together, Danielle was crying in fear, Sam was trying to comfort her. "But what will we EAT, what will we DRINK, where will we SLEEP!?" Danielle cried. "Don't worry... " Billie Joe said, "we have a fridge full of snacks, soda, and beer, and we can sleep on the floor or the couches." Billie seemed the least worried about himself, he seemed more worried about his family. "I just hope 80 isn't upset... I hope the kids don't think I'm hurt... I really don't wanna worry them... " he faded out. That got you thinking of your family, are they alright? Are they worried? You didn't wanna think about it.
Tre actually seemed excited! You knew pretty much why. Mike, though, seemed sort of un-affected. He still looked a little sad though. You just wanted to comfort him... He seemed so alone. You still clung to Tre, with him you sort of felt okay, like everything is alright and he'll protect you, you patted Mike's back to comfort him, he smiled a little, you just wanted him to know that there was someone there for him. The room was completely quiet for what seemed like forever. Tre didn't even say anything. Hours went by and everyone seemed to be getting really tired. Tre let you, Sam, and Danielle rest on him, being the ladies man he is. You knew he would never settle for just one girl, especially not just you! The man was turned on by anything that moved! You just happened to be one of the things that moved in the room.
You woke up the next morning still resting on Tre's arm. You didn't wanna move, it felt so good. You knew that Sam and Danielle felt the same because who wouldn't? He still smelled really good because his cologne was still noticeable from the night before. He woke up. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, he was waking up! You pretended to be asleep, but he knew you were awake. He said good morning by rubbing you and your friends on the shoulder. "Now what's for breakfast?"
Tre went to the fridge while Billie and Mike were still asleep on the couches. He pulled out a bagel, "I told the guys we'd need these." he said with a smile. "Well, get what you want." You and your friends walked over to the fridge. There were bagels, apples, pudding, and snack cakes in it. You got some pudding, since that's what your friends were getting too. You ate your breakfast with your friends. Mike started to wake up. You smiled at him to comfort him. He went to get a bagel and sat back down on the couch, he seemed to be thinking. You just sat there, feeling really bad, wanting to help.
When Billie woke up, he seemed confused. Mike seemed to be happy that his best friend woke up, He probably feels a little less alone when Billie is around. As Billie came back into consciousness, everyone felt a little better. Billie has a leader's touch to him. He always takes control of the situation, he always knows what to do. Billie didn't have breakfast, he just sat writing in this book. You guessed it was a song book. It was a small, blue book with a black spine, nothing special except it had his name on the front. It also had a lot of doodles, "Billie Joe, 80, Punk" were the most common. You could see him writing something that looked like a song, probably about 80 and the kids worrying or something. You could sort of see the first words, something like, "I'm sorry, don't cry, It's OK, I'm fine... ". It really did sound like the song was for 80 and the kids. That man was always in love with his family, they are the loves of his life, along with his music. There were sketches on the front of his book, it seemed old, it said "B+A". It was so sad to see him away from his family like this, but there was nothing you could do. You just sat there looking at this poor man write about his worrying family, he was just heartbroken. You hate seeing people like this, it really makes you feel horrible... You really wished you could help.
You decided to try out writing too. You were pretty good at it, since you are the lead writer, singer, and guitarist of your band. You wrote a song about a grief-stricken man who was ripped away from the thing he cherished most, you named the song, "Billie". They were really good lyrics, but you couldn't find quite the right melody for it.
Right after you were done writing, you got up to put the book you wrote the song in back into your purse. You were proof reading it as you walked... Bam! You crashed into Tre. You looked up to say you were sorry but, uh oh, there's that rush again... Tre just smiled and watched you as you put your book away. "What IS that?" he asked. You turned to look at him in the eye, but ended up looking at his feet... The rush... "Um, nothing... Just a little diary thing" you said. "Oh, anything good in it?" Tre asked again, "Like anything about, oh, say... Me?". Tre smiled jokingly. You smiled and giggled a little bit, half way because it was funny, half way because of your butterflies. Did Tre Cool just flirt with YOU?!?! WOW! Now, you really feel good about yourself, you find the courage to look him straight in the eye and say, "There probably is, but who'll ever know?." Tre seemed surprised, and you feel sorta dumb, but also a little proud, too. You walk away with your head high and sit down next to Mike, all while Tre stands watching you in aw and excitement.
Mike is also pretty damned surprised, and you feel weird because he is just looking at you in shock. Sam and Danielle have the exact same look on their faces. You just want the moment to end.
Billie Joe is still writing in his book. You watch as this genius comes up with a song that could very well be the next big hit of the summer. He notices you looking at him and gives you a half-hearted smile, he is really into this song. You think of saying something to comfort him, but you decide that it may not be such a great idea right now.
Sam gets up from the couch to get a drink. She gets a can of Pepsi and sits back down next to Tre. She sits really close... Too close. You feel sort of jealous. Tre seems to like it and they both look at each other with that damned smile. That bitch! Then, it hit you, Sam was just another thing that moved in the room. Oooh... But you were too, and you could beat her at this game any day! You walked by Tre and smiled at him really sweetly. You got a soda and sat right square on the man's lap. Now who had his attention, huh? Yep, and you were feeling pretty damned competitive, too. Sam just scowled and scooted away in anger and disbelief. You were now feeling really proud, on top of the WORLD! You had his attention and you were gonna keep it. You looked into his eyes and he looked back. Now he was smililng at YOU! Then, it just clicked, you knew it was time for the kiss. You leaned in, and he leaned forward. OH MY GOD! It happened, you were kissing Tre Cool. He wrapped his arms around you and you put yours on him. There you were, in the middle of the room, making out with TRE COOL! You knew everyone was watching, but so what? All you cared about was Tre, and at this moment, he noticed you.
When you were done, you just stared, gazed into Tre's eyes. You did this for a very long time, it didn't get old. You rested on his shoulder and just listened to his heart beating, and felt the warmth of his body. You wanted to stay here forever, you felt right here, at peace for the first time in your life. You wanted to, but Tre broke the moment by patting you on the back and saying "Who's next?" in the joking way he always says things. Now you remembered, you're just something in the room that moved... But at least you had a moment to remember. You just sat on the couch thinking. Everyone was staring at you and you were a little embarrassed.
That night, you really wanted to sleep on the floor with Tre. He had the only blanket, so you used that for an excuse. "Um, Tre.." you said, and he looked up at you, "I'm a little cold... Can I share that with you?" Tre was more than alright with that and made room for you. You lay down with your back to him, and tried to get as close as possible without making it obvious. He liked it, he really did like it, you know? You liked it too, you liked that he liked it, you liked the feeling of being wanted by someone for once. Your family never made you feel wanted, but Tre really did. You fell asleep in his arms.
The next morning, Tre was still clinging to you, but he was awake. He said good morning in your ear and got up to eat breakfast. You stayed on the floor, still daydreaming about last night, you were wanted and it felt good. Billie was already up, he hadn't seemed to have been able to sleep much lately. He watched you, it seemed like it was a familiar site to him. You turned to look at him. You felt so bad. You went over to try and comfort him with a smile and a pat on the back. He still looked sad, but he knew you were trying to help. He smiled back, sort of like a thanks for trying kinda thing. You thought of something. You went and got your book from your purse. "Here," you said to Billie, "can you find a melody for this?" He looked suspiciously at the book and opened to your song. He read it and had a look of sadness on his face. "Wow, you really do see me like this?" he looked at you in guilt. "You seem so sad, I just hope you could cheer up... I'm sure we'll get out of this." you said to him. Billie looked down and said, "You're right, if I wanna make this better, I should stay strong, that's what they'd want me to do." You looked at him feeling really good. You helped this heart-broken man feel okay. You really helped somebody out. Billie really will be okay.
Tre actually seemed excited! You knew pretty much why. Mike, though, seemed sort of un-affected. He still looked a little sad though. You just wanted to comfort him... He seemed so alone. You still clung to Tre, with him you sort of felt okay, like everything is alright and he'll protect you, you patted Mike's back to comfort him, he smiled a little, you just wanted him to know that there was someone there for him.
