The Joke Is Over (Sequel to Late Night Partiers), chapter 1

After months of touring and seeing different people the trio finally made it back home to California to redeam their normal lives. Billie Joe went back to 80 and his kids, Tre went back to his house, and Mike went back to his normal and quiet home. He sat down and looked out the window at the sunset, the echoing of his cell phone ringing. Mike got it out of his pocket and answered it, "Hello.. Yeah I made it Bill... I just got in.... Tell 80 and the boys I said Hi... Yeah I'm about to go take a long shower and then a hell of a long nap... Ok see you guys later.." Mike hung up and took his shirt, shoes, and socks off. He looked at the bruise from an overly drunk fan punching him and jumping off the stage the night before. "That little fucker made a hell of a place on me." He muttered getting up from the chair and walking towards the bathroom. He turned on the water and finish getting undressed and got in. He was in the shower for about an hour and a half, then he got out and put on some pants. Mike ran his fingers through his hair as it spiked up everywhere. He looked in the mirror and headed for his bed. Mike got under the covers and didn't even bother to turn out the light, with in minutes he fell asleep.
There was a knock at the door which Mike tried to ignore for a few mintues but it only got louder. He got out of bed and walked out the stairs to answer the door. Mike openned the door to find Tre standing there in a T shirt and sleep pants. "What's wrong Tre?"
Tre looked at him and said, "It's too fucking quiet at my house.. NO snoring.. No murmuring in people's sleep.. Well, what I'm trying to say is can I stay over?"
"Yeah sure Tre," said Mike rubbing his eyes letting Tre in and shutting the door.
Tre sat down on the couch and watched Mike come out of his hall way closest with a few covers and pillows, "Here you go man."
"Thanks Mike," said Tre looking at him. "Your the best."
"Your welcome Tre," said Mike looking at him sleepily.
Mike stood there for a few minutes as Tre covered himself up and he headed back upstairs. He looked at the clock and it said 3:32am... Mike laid back down in his bed and fell back to sleep with in seconds.
Mike woke up and stared at the ceiling for a few mintues to get fully awake. "I wonder what's wrong with Tre, he has never done that before." Mike got out of bed and walked into his closet to get a shirt out. He held it and walked out of the door and put it on at the top of the stairs. He walked down the stairs straightening his shirt up as he went. Mike made it to the bottum of the stairs to find that Tre was still on the sofa where he had left him. Mike walked into the kitchen to fix some coffee. He turned the coffee maker on and walked around to wait for it to make the coffee. Mike looked in the fridge to see what he had left after he was gone. He still had a full fridge. "Wow, it's still full and nothing is past experation date... That's ironic.." He walked back over to his coffee maker and poured some coffee into a cup then walked into the livingroom. He put the coffee in front of Tre's face.. "Wake up and spell the coffee of being off tour.." Tre's eyes popped open.
"Hey, I don't even remember coming out here last night," said Tre slowly getting up from the couch. "I feel restored and energetic."
"I bet you do, it's one thirty," said Mike walking into the kitchen as he sipped his coffee.
"Hey Mike do you have cereal cause I don't feel like going out for breakfast," said Tre.
"Yeah, its in that cabinet," said Mike pointing to the cabinet beside the fridge. "There should be some left. Amazingly the milk has not reached its experation date yet so, I don't have to go to the grocery store."
"What luck,eh?" said Tre pouring some cereal into a bowl followed by milk. He sat it on the table and started eating. "I wondered what Bill and 80 is doing?" Tre had a smirk on his face.
"Tre I know that grin," said Mike with a small smirk growing on his face too.
Tre laughed and took another bite of cereal. Mike sipped his coffee and looked out of the window, "Holy shit the neighbors are at it again."
"What!?" asked Tre looking out of the window.
"They argue.. A fucking lot.." said Mike setting his coffee down on the table. He walked over to the door leading outside and poked his head out of the door. "Anything I can do Ms. Garby!?"
"Keep you ass in the house I can handle this mother fucker!!!" she yelled sounding fired up..
"O-Kay!!" said Mike as he came back in the house and locked the door. "She gets so into it I swear.. The more they fight the longer they stay together, I don't get it... Me and my ex got into one time and we went to pieces."
"Yeah, me and my ex had our "differences" and split like that," said Tre taking another bite of cereal.
Mike finished his coffee and Tre finished his cereal. Tre walked outside and said, "I'm going to go to the house.. I need to see how it's been since I have been gone."
"Bye Tre!!" said Mike shutting the door and he watched tre to make sure Ms. Garby and her "husband" didn't throw anything at him as he got into his car and drove home.
"Sometimes I wonder whats going through Tre's head.." murmured Mike as he went upstairs...
