My Life With Green Day, chapter 5
Billie and I raced around the rooms backstage looking for our friends. He was getting pissed.
"Well if you hadn't brought your horny friends then Mike and Tre wouldn't be missing," Billie yelled at me.
"My friends are horny? Well you gave me tickets! You shouldnt have done that," I retalieted.
"Why?"
"Because they are my fucking best friends Billie. Why wouldn't I invite them to mine and their favorite bands' concert?"
"Because I gave the fucking tickets to you! I wanted you to come! Not them!"
"Why Billie? Why the fuck couldn't I bring my friends," I was pissed now.
"Because I wanted you to come! Thats why!" I stopped bitching. For once in my life I actually stopped bitching. Had I heard right? Had Billie Joe Armstrong, front man of Green Day, sexiest man alive, really say that. We stood there in silence not looking at each other.
"Whats up Berekley," Someone cried from on stage. Billie and my eyes shot up to one another. It was Mike!
"Ok well Billie Joe is doing some naughty things with his girlfriend Courtney backstage!" God I was so ready to just kick Mike'sass. Billie and I raced on stage where thousands of people were looking up on to the stage. Maggie and Tre were sitting on Tre's drum stool together while Mike and Brittany stood up front with the mic.
"OOOO it's Billie and Courtney!" Mike and Brittany laughed into the mic while the audience laughed with them. I was about ready to pass out. I could feel the blood draining from my face. Tre and Maggie were laughing too. Finally everyone stopped laughing. Billie took control of the situation.
"Go sit in the back until the concert is over and then we'll talk," Billie said as he whispered into my ear. I nodded my head and wobbled backstage. Maggie and Birttany each kissed Tre and Mike and followed me into the back.
I sat on the couch and just stayed silent for a long period of time. I heard the band play Holiday, Blvd. Of Broken Dreams, and Wake me up when September ends. Finally Brittany broke the silence.
"Soooo."
"So what," I shot back. I was over my embarassment and now I was just plain old pissed.
"So what did you and Billie do?" That was Maggie.
"We talked and freaked out when we couldn't find you guys," I said in a blah tone.
"Oh sorry about that. We thought if we left it would give you guys time to be closer," Brittany said quietly.
"Ok so I guess you also thought embarassing the fucking shit out of me! Yeah you helped!" I was way pissed. I stood up and was about ready to kick her ass then Maggie opened her mouth.
"Okay okay calm down," said Maggie the Peace maker. I sat down. Mike and Tre walked in. I was guessing the concert was over. I gulped. That meant I was going to have to talk to Billie soon. I was right. I heard the Time of your life song start to play. I just waited for it to end. Mike and Tre were all sweaty but Brittany and Maggie were still sitting in their laps making out with them.
"Disgusting," I mummbled silently to myself as I made my way to the room with the little cot. I layed there and waited. I had a huge headache.
"Go get a fucking room," Billie's voice said in disgust. I sat up straight. Billie was coming towrds the room.
"Hey," He said quietly and he suddenly seemed shy. I looked up at him he was sweaty and stunk really bad but I didnt care. I got up and hugged him.
I pulled away and said, "God you fucking stink!" He laughed.
"Thanks and you smell great!" I laughed.
"Do you mind if I take a shower before we talk? I do stink!"
"No go ahead," I replied quickly. He walked into the bathroom and I heard the water running.
"Hey Courtney," Billie yelled over the sound of the showers water.
"Yeah?"
"Will you hand me a towel?"
"You're not serious are you?"
"What do you want me to run out there naked?"
"Do you want me to answer that with an honest answer?" He laughed and I laughed. I grabbed a towel and walked into the bathroom.
"Well if you hadn't brought your horny friends then Mike and Tre wouldn't be missing," Billie yelled at me.
"My friends are horny? Well you gave me tickets! You shouldnt have done that," I retalieted.
