Broken down, chapter 1
It was an eerie night. Doors were bolted and locked. Windows were closed tight and curtains were drawn. It was cold and windy. I had to zip my parka all the way up. No one was up, but that didn't stop me from knocking on someone door. My tour bus broke down about an hour away and this is the only town close enough. Mike and Tre were in the bus soaking up the warmth. Why did I pick the smallest straw? I have no luck. It is 2:00 in the fucking morning and I'm out here trying to find help. I am Billie Joe Armstrong, why don't I have people to do this for me? There were a lot of stairs to this house. It was the only one with a light on, so I thought I might get lucky. The 6 other houses were empty and this was the last one for another 20 miles. There was no doorbell, so I knocked. No one answers. I knock again." Damn! Where is everyone? Is this town dead". I start to turn around. An icy hand grabs my shoulder and turns me around. "Whoa buddy" I say I look at him. He is totally rocking the Adams family look. Come in he says. No I just need- Shh shh he says come in. What the hell I said to my self. I might as well. "He brings me into a warm house. There is a fire going in the dining room. "What is your problem?, he asks, do you need help? No Frankenstein, I am trying to sell you Girl Scout cookies at 2 in the fucking morning. My outburst surprised me. I am just so tired and cold. I need to get to Romania by 9:00 tomorrow. I said I was sorry and he said everyone is like that. Everyone? There were more people stuck in this shithole town at 2 in the morning? I followed him into the den, where there was a phone. It was an old-fashioned phone. Oh the man said slowly, the phone is broken. How about I get your friends and you can stay here for the night? Its that, or walk. I don't mind keeping you fellas in for a little, I mean I do get lonely here by myself in this big old mansion he said grinning. Billie Joe being the smart man that he is questioned this man. His name was Damien. How did he know he had friends on the bus? Oh well, he really needed help, and the show was tomorrow. He needed rest as well. Don't forget food and a shower. He certainly couldn't hitch hike 50 miles. All right, he said. They are on route 25 right before the abanded gas station. I'll get my coat. There is food in the fridge my assistant Hutch will be right with you. Thanks Billie yelled before Cael left.
Meanwhile back at the bus...
I play the shit out of the drums and I can play guitar! Tre sang on the top pf his lungs. He was banging his drum sticks on the wheel. Mike was pacing around thinking of what to do. He was worried. Billie Joe has been out for hours now. His driver went out to get some help also, after Billie Joe didn't come back. The boys recognized Adam, their driver in a truck yelling bye suckers out of the passenger window. They son of a bitch totally ditched us and hitchhiked for a truck. What the hell are we gonna do he asked tre. I dunno, he said suddenly remembering the situation. "Fuck man!" We are gonna die. You might as well burry me now. My phycic warned me about this day. She said that one day when- shut up tre Mike yelled. He is so stupid sometimes, Mike said to himself. We gotta go look for him. If he ended up like that dicknose Adam we better catch him now. Mike said.
It was about 3:00 by now. Mike and Tre were walking, singing the greatest bad pop songs. First they sang spice girls, Hillary "poser" duff and so on. They got onto town and were knocking on every door. It has to be that one, said Tre looking at the last one, the only one with lights. They went up the big hill to the house; they got up to the door and...
Nice house, Billie says to Hutch who obviously doesn't care. Here is your room if u need anything ring my bell. He walked away muttering to himself. Loser! Billie Joe says to him after he went down the stairs. He opens the door. "Awww the King room," he says Fit for a king". He says this in a real deep scary voice. He jumps on the bed. He looks around. "nice nice" he looks at a picture above the bed. A beautiful woman dressed in a white dress was laughing. Billie, traumatized after his divorce with his wife, starts to say hi to "old henry". He stops quick. What the- was that someone out the window watching me spank? He looks out the window and sees Tre. Oh God tre, you scared me to death. Tre laughing goes in the window. You know, he says, you're not supposed to spank that hard he jokes; maybe that's why Adrienne left you. Shut up Tre Billie says obviously hurt, but trying not to show it. He punches Tre with his sexy muscles. Tre jumps on the bed. I kinda figured u were here. Wait what the hell are u doin here? He asked while he was checking him self out in the mirror. Did Damien get you guys? Billie asked, applying fresh new eyeliner from his pocket. Who? You mean that son of a bitch that stopped to pick us up and then drive off in his crappy hummer?" No, Billie said this freaky guy, um... Damien... yeah that's his name... um he said he was gonna pick you up. He had a Cadillac... you didn't see him? Nope. "hey wheres old Mikey boy"billie asked. He wernt to the front. He said that he doesn't wanna be shot for trespassing, what a pussy. Hahaha. Tre said practically choking. Well im gonna go down to get him. I didn't even here the doorbell ring.
As Billie goes down the stairs, Tre looks around.
He sees a little dog statue on the bureau. He pulls it and a secret door opens. Holey shit! Tre yells as the door opens. This is fuckin awesome. He walks in-more like runs in, touching everything . He sees a room beautiful and on the table was a box of dounuts. Mmmm. Tre takes one, or three. He stiuffing his face when he feels a hand behind him. "who are you and what are you doing in my house". I cram frew fra wrindra he said trying to say he came in through the window, talking with the three donuts in his mouth. I am Billie'e friend. He said finishing his donnut. Oh, you must be Tre he said with a grin on his face.
