Urm...I Hate Titles, chapter 6
*Ali's POV*
Shit it was the police! They pulled us over and breath tested Billie, Who had been driving.
"Ok, we're gonna have to ask all of you to come with please"
"Why? Billie was driving!"
"We got a call from an elderly woman saying you had been harassing her, so we need to arrest the rest of you for being drunk and disorderly, and him for DUI. You have the right to remain silent"
I looked at Pepper; she was wearing a similarly shocked expression as I was, as was Mabby. We all piled into the police car, with Tré grinning like an idiot for no obvious reason.
"Tré, stop grinning, it's not funny!" I scowled
"Yeah, but it's like a big adventure full of grannies and pretty angels, look there's one!" he squealed, pointing at Mabby, who looked slightly shocked, concerned and confused at being called a "pretty angel" by Tré, even if me, Mike, Chan, Billie and Pepper found it hilarious. For the rest of the journey, she was nearly sat on Mikes lap because Tré kept staring at her. When we got the police station, they told us to wait in a small room until an officer came to speak to us; we did, but started singing the moustache song as well.
"... Grow and grow and grow, so let your moustache SHOW!!!" screamed Pepper, who had been the most drunk, and even though she had sobered slightly when we were pulled over, she was now back to her lovely drunken self. At the moment she was looking very hard at Billie, Tré and Mike's upper lips, and shouting "MOUSTACHE!" down their ears if she found a single hair. Then she started on me, Chan and Mabby, until Billie pulled her onto his knee and started to talk to her like you would talk to a toddler when you told them off, which I found really funny, but I didn't know why.
*Peppers POV*
I was still drunk, but sober enough to know I was drunk. Everyone else save Billie Joe was sober though, seeing as he had the most alcohol after me. I found it incredibly interesting to stare at everyone's top lip to see if they had a moustache, then if I thought they did, I would shout moustache down their ear. I was just about to shout "MOUSTACHE!" down Ali's ear, when I felt a pull on my belt. I stood up and saw Billie Joe trying to pull me onto his knee. I giggled and sat on his knee, and then he started telling me off, saying that I shouldn't shout down people's ears coz I might hurt them and make them shout when they talk. At first I found it funny, but then I just sat with my lips pressed together looking down at me and Billie's scuffed up converse until he lifted my chin making me look at him.
"Ok? You can't ever shout down peoples ears, but ya can still sing the moustache song coz I love it!"
Ali was pissing herself laughing with Mabby and Chan who were giggling like idiots about Tré, coz he was asleep and dribbling, Mike was dropping off, so in effect, it might as well have only been me and Billie in the room. I nodded and made my eyes go wide and pouted. He grinned and kissed me lightly on the cheek seeing as we were both drunk, then he tipped me of his lap and I landed on the floor for the second time today
*Mabby's POV*
When the novelty of Tré dribbling had worn off, I noticed Billie tipping Pepper off his lap the laughing at her coz she was acting dead. Something told me that it was wrong though, what if she wasn't playing? She was face down with her hair over her face, so I couldn't see her face, but I noticed that under her dark drown and purple hair, her back was barely moving, so she was hardly breathing. I looked around at Ali and Chan, but they were slowly laughing themselves to sleep, and Billie was still laughing at Pepper, Mike and Tré were asleep on each other, so it was only me who could do anything. My first thought was to hit Billie so I walked up to him and slapped him round the face. He was stunned.
"YOU IDIOT! SHE MIGHT BE DEAD AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS LAUGH!" I ran over to where Pepper lay on the floor and turned her over so she was lying on her back with her mouth hanging open .she was still breathing but barely. She coughed, and started laughing her head off.
"Hahaha, Mabby thought I was dead!!! Hahahahahahahaha!" she started giggling and rolling around, obviously finding it hilarious. I slapped her and began to poke her in the sides and tickle her.
"You little cow! I hate you your so mean to meeeee!!!" I screamed at her until we were both breathless and just lying on the floor panting and occasionally poking each other.
*Pepper's POV*
Haha, I love to wind Mabby up! I can't believe she actually thought I was dead!! Hahahaha, I'm starting to feel tired now though, rolling around and tickling is HARD WORK!!! I closed my eyes and started to drift off when I felt someone's hand over my mouth. My eyes shot open but it was only Billie. He put his finger to his mouth signalling me to be quiet. I nodded, and he stood up and offered me his hand seeing as a few minutes ago I couldn't even sit down without falling over, and helped me up. He took my hand and led me to a corner.
"What's up? Won't they notice something weird if we're jus standing in a corner talking?"
"Nah, they're all dead to the world and even if they woke up they'd be to busy vomiting on everything" I smiled
"So why are we standing in a corner?"
"If I remember correctly, I still owe you a thank you for saving my lovely ass earlier"
"Not to modest are you?"
"Can't say it's one of my many skills" he smiled
"So about this thank you?"
"Oh yeah... "
He leaned over and placed his lips on mine, and I was in heaven. I opened my eyes slightly, and saw his blazing green eyes staring back at me. God, those eyes really are amazing, they remind me of someone actually...
Shit. I pushed away from Billie, regretting it instantly. He looked confused.
"Oh shit... look Billie I'm really, really sorry!"
"What? Why?"
"I have a boyfriend, but I don't even like him, and now this and oh shit shit shit... "
I felt my legs give way, and I collapsed on the floor, sobbing.
"Oh... it should be me saying sorry, I started this, and Ali told me about your boyfriend, so it really is my fault... I'm sorry"
"She told you?"
"Yeah... "
I didn't know what to do. I didn't like my boyfriend, but I really liked Billie. I hated the idea of dumping Paul, but I'd hate it more if I missed the opportunity with Billie. I screamed, long and loud, possibly deafening Billie, but it's all I could to relieve the confusion and tension I felt inside. Tré twitched his arm, which he'd already placed around the 'pretty angel's' waist, and I inhaled sharply, not wanting him to wake up and puke on me. I thought through my options, I didn't like Paul, so if I dumped him it would make no difference to me, but I saw Billie nearly everyday, and he was a big part of my life, so if I turned him down I would never forgive myself. After thinking about what to do for a few minutes, I made my decision.
*Billie Joe's POV*
God I was so embarrassed, I had just kissed a girl with a boyfriend, and I knew she had a boyfriend! I really like her though; I can't help it if I like someone can I?
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!"
Jesus! Just about scared me shitless! I looked at her and frowned, she was sitting on the floor where she had collapsed, but she wasn't crying any more, she was staring at Tré, and then I saw why, he had started to move! She gasped, but thankfully he didn't wake up. She thought for a few more minutes, then stood up and faced me.
*Peppers POV*
I can't believe I'm about to do this, but I have to. When I get back home, I'll tell Paul, but for now, this is all I need to worry about.
"I know what I'm gonna do now" stop delaying Pepper!
"Wha... "
Billie was cut off as I took the opportunity to kiss him. I had closed my eyes, as I didn't want to see his reaction, but now I opened them, and saw he was totally shocked, but in a nice way, if there is actually a way to be shocked-in-a-nice-way. Then he saw I was looking at him, and he smiled against my lips. I closed my eyes again, and felt his arms slide around my waist.
*Billie Joe's POV*
I wasn't sure if I was totally sober yet, but I knew that this was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I wasn't in control of my body anymore, but I felt my arms slide around her waist, and her arms around my neck. Then I heard Chantelle starting to wake up, and vomit everywhere. Pepper heard to, but she shook her head, telling me that we shouldn't split just coz someone woke up.
"Omg my head... ..bleurgh"
I had to smile at that, Mikes girlfriend nearly puking all over him, classic
"Any one else awa... um, yeah, I see you to are up"
Pepper blushed and pulled away
"No, don't mind me! What did I drink last night? Owwww my head... "
"About 6 shots and Mike had 7"
"How long you been awake?"
"I dunno, I only slept about 5 minutes before prince charming here woke me up, but hey, if I don't sleep, I can't feel like shit when I wake up!"
"Woo, I'm prince charming!"
"Who said you? Tré might have woke me up before! But then again he looks so cute with his 'pretty angel'... hehehe"
"Huuuuuuuh... ? Who's a pretty angel?"
Tré was up, and thankfully not puking on everyone.
*Tré's POV*
Owwwww, fuck my head! I looked down and saw my arm around Mabby, Jesus, what happened last night? I know we went out, and we had a gig, but that's it.
"Uurrrrgh... Tré! Get your arm off me! Aaa!"
Oh ok then, maybe I was just drunk.
*Pepper's POV*
Everyone was starting to wake up now, first Chan, who had caught me and Billie kissing, then Tré, then Mabby. They all made similar 'Urgh' noises, which implied they all had worse headaches than I did. A few minutes later, an officer came in, so I woke Ali and Mike up so they could listen to the lecture about the dangers of DUI and got cautioned before we were let lose on the outside world.
"right, I have aspirin etc. at the hotel, so you can either come back with us, or piss off to your house flat apartment thing what ever... " I told the boys and Chan. They looked at each other before Billie asked if they could come back to ours. We all piled into their bookmobile, Billie Joe driving, me on the passenger seat and everyone else stuffed into the back, Chan on Mikes lap, and Mabby reluctantly on Tré's, with Ali squished in the middle. The drive back to our hotel was near on silent, save for a few pained groans. When we arrived, I suddenly remembered that I thought that Billie and the guys were staying at this hotel as well. I asked Billie, and he said they had been visiting their Manager, and that mike, Chan and himself lived together, and Tré lived on his own in a small apartment, but he was gonna move in with them soon. We walked through the reception and I pulled faces at the 'lovely lady' behind the desk, we took up almost all of the space in the lift, which meant that no one else could see below their neckline. Billie took the opportunity to grab my hand, which made me heat up, and I saw Chan smiling to herself, which made me blush about ten shades redder.
Billie dropped my hand as we all filed out of the lift and stood in the corridor
"Ok, Mabby go get Tré some aspirin, Ali get Mike and Chan some and I'll get Billie some"
"Yes mother"
"Sorry if I'm the only one sober enough to organise you hopeless lot!"
Ali pulled a face
"Fine... come on, I have aspriiiiin!!"
And she lead Mike and Chan off, Mabby took Tré who had been following her around like a little lap dog ever since we got booted out of the police station, which just left Billie and me
"c'mon, personally I need a drink more than anything; my throat feels like sandpaper... "
"It doesn't show on your face"
"Uh huuuuuuuuh, what ever you say prince charming"
I felt him grab my wrist and I turned round, just staring into his gorgeous eyes.
"I meant it you know; I'd rather have you than Paul any day"
I turned back around and began to drag him down the hallway to my room. When I got there, I let go of his hand and fumbled in my pocket for my room key, which I couldn't find.
"Looking for this?" I felt Billie slide his arms round my waist and wave my room key in my face.
"Yes actually, how'd you get that?"
"It fell out of your pocket in the police station"
He didn't need to say when. I blushed again, Jesus, I was gonna turn into a tomato at this rate. We went inside and got aspirin and a drink, then went to get Chan, Mike and everyone else because Billie said they should get home and sleep, and we should to. We went into Ali's room first, as she was closest.
"Ali, open the goddamn door, Billie says that Mike etc. have to go home!"
The door opened and Ali appeared
"They'll be with you in a sec they're 'busy' cough cough"
"Ooooo ok, we'll go get Tré and they better not be 'busy' when we get back!" I scowled then smiled, and we went next door to peel Tré off Mabby, but it turned out that it was the other way round. Her door was open so we just walked in, but they weren't in the living room or bedroom, so we tried the kitchen, and saw mabby backed up against the counter with Tré kissing her so ferociously it looked like he was trying to bite her head off, though for all the looking scared she had done earlier, it didn't look like she was complaining. I cleared my throat and they broke off, both looking incredibly embarrassed, which made me laugh.
"Tré, as much as you obviously like it here, we have to go, we're performing somewhere else tomorrow, I dunno where though, I'll ask Mike... "
Tré mumbled something inaudible to Mabby, who blushed even redder and giggled. My phone rang, and the Caller ID said it was my brother.
"Hello?"
"Hey! I'm just calling to tell you that I'm coming home early, and I'll be at my house around 2 so you can come today if you want"
"Cool! I'll tell Mabs and Ali"
"Ok, seeya whenever"
"Bye"
"Who was that?"
"My brother" I turned to Mabby "he said we can go to his house today if we want to"
"Yeah alright then, there's like NOTHING to do around here"
"You sure that you can tear yourself away from Tré?"
That got me a well earned whack on the head, and the privilege of seeing Tré scowl at me.
"What ever, I have to tell Ali"
"Check if Chantelle and Mike have finished being 'busy' while your there"
"Check yourself ya lazy arse!"
"Ever heard of being social?"
"yeah, I tried it once, didn't work" I pulled a face and Billie laughed slightly
"come on then, and grab that water bottle on your way out"
"why?"
"Coz we might have to cool 'em off"
"fine" I laughed, grabbed the bottle and head next door with Billie Joe following. I knocked, and heard a muffled 'coming!' presumably from Chan, who a few seconds later appeared at the door, with Mike behind her, Mike who looked like he'd been putting lip gloss on in the dark without a mirror and with Parkinson's disease, I couldn't help laughing.
"ok... ..Mike, we have to go remember? We're performing somewhere I dunno so I'll have to ask you but I can't be arsed now so I'll do it later"
"uh, yeah, Chan you staying with your Mom aren't ya?"
"yep, I'll miss you"
"I'll miss you to"
"but I'll miss you more"
"I'll call every day"
hey started kissing again, and me and Billie looked at each other and grinned evilly. I opened the bottle of water, and emptied it all over their heads.
"Oh. My. God. Pepper I'm going to kill you... "
"Not if I run away very quickly"
And so I ran, with Chan and Mike chasing me, and Billie leaning against the wall laughing like there was no tomorrow. I barged through a few disapproving old ladies, and into my room, slamming and locking the door in their face's. I leaned on the door laughing, while Chan banged on about how her hair was ruined for life and how it would go frizzy now. I stood up and wrenched the door open.
"The miracle thing about hair, is the fact that it grows back. Now where the hell is Ali, we need to pack up coz we're moving in with my brother today"
I ran through them both with Chan shouting at me that she knew hair grew back but that wasn't the point. I barged into Ali's room, but couldn't find her any where. Suddenly what she had said about being kidnapped by evil drug dealers came flooding back.
Shit it was the police! They pulled us over and breath tested Billie, Who had been driving.
"Ok, we're gonna have to ask all of you to come with please"
"Why? Billie was driving!"
"We got a call from an elderly woman saying you had been harassing her, so we need to arrest the rest of you for being drunk and disorderly, and him for DUI. You have the right to remain silent"
I looked at Pepper; she was wearing a similarly shocked expression as I was, as was Mabby. We all piled into the police car, with Tré grinning like an idiot for no obvious reason.
"Tré, stop grinning, it's not funny!" I scowled
"Yeah, but it's like a big adventure full of grannies and pretty angels, look there's one!" he squealed, pointing at Mabby, who looked slightly shocked, concerned and confused at being called a "pretty angel" by Tré, even if me, Mike, Chan, Billie and Pepper found it hilarious. For the rest of the journey, she was nearly sat on Mikes lap because Tré kept staring at her.

At the moment she was looking very hard at Billie, Tré and Mike's upper lips, and shouting "MOUSTACHE!" down their ears if she found a single hair. Then she started on me, Chan and Mabby, until Billie pulled her onto his knee and started to talk to her like you would talk to a toddler when you told them off, which I found really funny, but I didn't know why.

I knocked, and heard a muffled 'coming!' presumably from Chan, who a few seconds later appeared at the door, with Mike behind her, Mike who looked like he'd been putting lip gloss on in the dark without a mirror and with Parkinson's disease, I couldn't help laughing.
"ok... ..Mike, we have to go remember? We're performing somewhere I dunno so I'll have to ask you but I can't be arsed now so I'll do it later"
"uh, yeah, Chan you staying with your Mom aren't ya?"
"yep, I'll miss you"
"I'll miss you to"
"but I'll miss you more"
"I'll call every day"
hey started kissing again, and me and Billie looked at each other and grinned evilly. I opened the bottle of water, and emptied it all over their heads.
"Oh. My. God. Pepper I'm going to kill you... "
"Not if I run away very quickly"
And so I ran, with Chan and Mike chasing me, and Billie leaning against the wall laughing like there was no tomorrow. I barged through a few disapproving old ladies, and into my room, slamming and locking the door in their face's. I leaned on the door laughing, while Chan banged on about how her hair was ruined for life and how it would go frizzy now. I stood up and wrenched the door open.
"The miracle thing about hair, is the fact that it grows back. Now where the hell is Ali, we need to pack up coz we're moving in with my brother today"
I ran through them both with Chan shouting at me that she knew hair grew back but that wasn't the point. I barged into Ali's room, but couldn't find her any where. Suddenly what she had said about being kidnapped by evil drug dealers came flooding back.
