Worlds Apart, chapter 2
Roxanne walked out of the airport with a Volcom hat pulled way down and sunglasses. She walked out of the airport, she had her carry-on bag strap over her shoulder and walked out. As she got in the cab she saw someone snap her picture. She sighed, and told the cab driver Jack's address. Her house was being renovated. On second thought, she picked out her cell phone, and scrolled through her contacts until she found Tre's name. She took a deep breath, what was she doing! She thought to herself. But she still didn't stop, she needed to see him. And it was around 5:00, Claudia was probably out with her friends. "Wait! She's out of town with Frankito, perfect. As long as Billie wasn't over there." She thought. The phone rang about two times, and she was about to hang up until she heard his voice "Hello?" She smiled at his voice, just hearing him made her smile. "Hey sexy." She said.
* Tre's POV *
I smiled. I haven't talked to her in two weeks because ever since Billie and Adrienne started having problems Billie has been over here non-stop. "Hey you." I said not being able to wipe the smile off my face. "I miss you." Roxanne said. She misses me? Billie always got the chicks, and usually I didn't care but with Roxanne I always cared. I wanted her now she finally wanted me back. And I couldn't be happier.
* NARRATOR*
"I miss you too." Tre said. "Is anyone at the house right now?" Roxanne asked. "Nope, I'm all alone. I wish you were here." He said. Roxanne smiled and put her hand over the phone and quickly told the driver Tre's address and the driver made a sharp right and we were there. "Well... " Roxanne said getting out of the car grabbing her bag and throwing some money at the driver and mouthing a thank you. She walked up to the front door. "Open your door and... .." She said playfully. "Yeah right, I wish." He said. "Oh just do it, for fun." She said. He walked up to the door and opened rolling his eyes until he opened the door then he jumped and screamed. Roxanne couldn't stop laughing his face was hilarious. Once he calmed she dropped her bag and wrapped her arms around him and kissed him passionately. He cupped her ass and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He moved slowly back to the couch. He sat down, her still on his lap. They made out for a while then he laid back on the couch and she rested her head on his chest. "I'm glad you're here." He said. Roxanne smiled. "Me too, but I should probably get going." She said pushing up using his chest to balance while she got up he was still laying down and she ended up sitting right on his crotch. He smiled a devilish crooked smile. She just rolled her eyes and got off him completely. She grabbed her bag and kissed him on the cheek as she got up to call a cab. "I could drive you." He said. She looked at him as she hung up. "Yeah me pulling up in your car that'll look real good." She said sarcastically. He frowned. "Well at least let me ride in the cab with you, there's traffic this time of day and with me at least you'll be entertained while you wait." He said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. Roxanne giggled but shook her head. "Awww, c'mon. Please." He whined like a little kid. She smiled. "Fine, but you can't get out of the cab, K." She said. He jumped up and down and nodded. "So weird." She muttered.
The cab came and the two got in. The whole way he was kissing her or her neck. "Ok Tre, were here. I gotta go." She said. He looked sad but nodded. She leaned over and kissed him. "Bye." She grabbed her bag and jumped out of the cab and ran up to Jack's door, not wanting any paparazzi or fans to see her.
She knocked on Jacks door a couple times but no-one answered. She waited then opened the door, she found Jack and some blonde making out on the couch. Jack was practically half naked. "Oh god, uh, sorry." Roxanne said giggling and rushing by them to the guest bedroom. She shut herself in the bedroom and plopped down on the bed and pulled out her acoustic. She started strumming to the beat of her heart and then starting thinking of Tre. Shit. What was she doing, her and Billie were like sworn enemies. She was almost positive he hated her. No she was TOTALLY positive he hated her. And she knew all to well from being best friends with them for all those years that it was a one for all deal. When you got one you got all three. And as much as she didn't want to admit it she still loved Billie, she missed him. She missed all of them as a group and she longed for all of them to be friends again, but she knew it would never happen. She was just about to start randomly singing some words to whatever the hell she was playing but Jack came in. "Well hello lover boy!" She said with a grin. Jack blushed and turned away to look out the guest bedroom window. "So who's the new chick?" She asked. "Uh, her names Kitty." He said quietly. "I met her at a bar." He finished. Roxanne tried to hold in a laugh but failed. "Kitty!" She got out in between laughs. "Sounds like a hooker!" She laughed.
He kept a straight face for about 2 seconds then burst out laughing. "I. Think. She. Is." He got out in between laughs. They both laid down on the bed on their backs. "So where are Mikey and Jason?" She asked. " How would I know?" He said. "Or care." He added with a grin. "Oh just because their your brothers not to mention part of OUR band!" she said. "Well I saw them at the funeral but they both had some chick and I dunno where they are now." He said. "Oh yeah, shit. I'm sorry about your grandma she was a cool lady." Roxanne said sympathetically. "Yeah it sucks." Jack responded. Just then her cell phone rang. She looked on the caller ID. "Who's Tre? Fuck?! Tre Cool?! Why is he calling you?" Jack asked. Jack, Mikey and Jason were like big brothers to Roxanne, and when someone messed with her they were automatically the enemy. Ever since Billie Joe and her had been "arguing" the guys have hated all of Green Day and had been ultra-defensive for Roxanne. "Rox, why is he calling you?" he asked his face softened a little bit. "I dunno Jack we were best friends for a long time and he hasn't done anything but been cool and take care of me so get off of his case. Maybe something is wrong." She said. Jack made her a face but then walked out of the room to give her some privacy. As soon as the door was shut she picked up the phone on the last ring. "Hello." Roxanne answered quietly. "GUESS WHAT I DID!!!!" Tre yelled. Roxanne smiled. "What'd you do?" She asked. "I drank soda through my nose!! It was awesome, it burned a little but it was still awesome!" He said. "That's great ba- Tre but I gotta go k." She stopped herself from using pet names. "Awww why?" He whined. "Cause I have to, bye." She hung up. Man I hope he doesn't hate me. She quickly texted him an I love you and went to find Jack.
"Whatcha doing?" Roxanne asked Jack as he wandered around the kitchen obviously looking for something. "Nothing, what did Mr. Tre Cool want?" He asked making a face as he said Tre's name. "He dialed the wrong number." Roxanne replied lamely. Jack eyed her suspiciously as Roxanne purposely avoided his gaze. "Jason called while you were on the phone and he wants to go out for drinks tonight, probably with Gerard and the guys." He said. Roxanne smiled, she missed Gerard he was so cool. "Cool, I haven't seen the guys in forever. Lemme take a shower and change and we'll go over to Jason's." Roxanne replied. "I think Carly is over there right now." Jack said. "Really? Awesome I haven't seen her in a long time either. I miss her." Roxanne said. "Well hurry your ass up and go shower and do whatever else girl stuff you have to do!" He said playfully smacking her ass. "Uh! Perv, do not touch my ass it is precious cargo you know." She said and ran up the stairs to the guest bathroom. Jack just laughed and shook his head.
After Roxanne got ready they left to go to Jason's.
They arrived at Jason's and walked in to find an empty living room. "Hellooooooo!!!" Jack yelled. "IN THE BASEMENT!" Mikey's voice was heard echoing from downstairs. "Mikey's here! Yay!" Roxanne yelled and ran down the stairs. Jack heard Jason and Mikey's loud deep yells mixed with Roxanne's high pitched one. Right about now they were probably huddled together jumping around like idiots, he thought to himself. He chuckled and jogged down the stairs. When he got down Roxanne was sitting on Mikey's lap and talking to Carly, the guys' sister. It never ceased to amaze him how no matter how long of period of time passed Mikey and Roxanne were still best of friends. Probably because they were so alike. They were like twins it was actually kind of creepy.
"Hey Jackie! Look Roxie's here!" Jason yelled leaning over to give Roxanne a hug. "Duh Jason, I brought her here with me." Jack said in a your-so-stupid sort of way. "Oh." Jason said and went back to the game of pool he was playing with their friend Ryan. "So were going out with the Way guys tonight?" Roxanne asked. (Way meaning Mikey and Gerard) "Yeah, Frank will probably come to the club to but not till a little later." Mikey said.
*MikeyW is Mikey way and just Mikey is the Mikey Troth*
Gerard and MikeyW came to Jason's house a couple hours later and they all headed out to a local bar. Roxanne walked with her arm hooked in Mikey's. "I missed you Mikey. I feel like we haven't been together properly as a band since, god I don't know when." Roxanne said. "Yeah, I just talked to Jordan the new manager and he said we start a new tour of just the U.S in a month, and guess who our opening act is?" Mikey asked. Roxanne shrugged her shoulders. "MCR! We get to go on the road with them! How cool is that!" He said, jumping up and down. Roxanne grinned. "Sweet, but I am so not sharing a bunk with Ray I would get suffocated by his hair!" She laughed. Mikey grinned. "It will be PARTAY every night! This is gonna be so awesome." He said. They arrived at the bar and went inside.
It was about 2:00 in the morning and everyone was so drunk they couldn't even walk. The cab driver knew Jack and took us all to Jack's house. He helped us all in and we all collapsed over the numerous couched Jack had. "Hey Gee, guess what?" Roxanne whispered in Gerard's ear. "Huh?" He slurred. "I'm drunk." She said giggling. He smiled and was about to say something but passed out before he could. That made Roxanne giggle even more, she got up and stumbled her way to the guest bedroom.
At about 8:00 in the morning she got a call on her cell phone. She got it out of her back pocket and answered it. "Hello?" She said groggily, her head was killing her. "Hey Rox" Tre replied happily. "Baby can I call you back I got a fucking bad hangover. I need to go get some aspirin." She said. "Yeah sure. Hey! Why don't you take a cab over here? I could take care of you." He said. She could just picture his devilish little smile as he said that. "Nah..." She started. "Aww c'mon, no ones awake yet right?" He asked. "No, okay but just for a little bit." She said. He giggled. "K, I'll see you when you get over here." He said. "K, love you bye." She said. She hung up and changed her shirt and brushed her hair and teeth. And re-applied some eyeliner and called a cab.
She was walking out the door at 8:30 and no one was up yet. She took the cab over to Tre's house. She knocked and heard Tre coming to the door. "Hey." She said forcing a smile, her head still hurt like a fucker. "Hey um-'' He started. "I really need some Advil." She said kissing him then pushing past him into the house. She stopped in her tracks when she saw Billie Joe in his living room.
Billie just stared at her. All Roxanne could do was stare back. Then she turned around to face Tre. "What the fuck?" She whispered angrily. "Yeah, what the fuck Tre?! What is she doing here?!" Billie Joe asked. "Oh what Billie can't stand to see me? You really hate me so much?" She said calmly. "I hate you as much as you hate me." He said through his teeth. He looked different to Roxanne. He had dark circles under his eyes and his usual messy black hair was extremely messy. He looked like he had been drinking a lot. "I don't hate you Billie." Roxanne replied. "Oh BULL SHIT! Why do you give me a big fuck you every time you buy some airtime then?!" He yelled. Roxanne flinched at his screaming and felt Tre touch the small of her back. "I-I" Roxanne started, she felt tears coming to her eyes. She always had known in the back of her heart that Billie hated her now. But hearing him say it hurt more than she could have ever imagined. "I should go." She said and turned around to head for the door. She gave Tre a weak smile and walked out. It had only been about 5 minutes and the cab driver was just starting to drive away. She hailed him down and had him take her back to Jack's. She was about five minutes from Jack's and she just started crying. She missed Billie and Mike and Tre, she just wanted to be able to see him more. She just wanted things to go back to the way they used to be.
*FLASHBACK*
"Billie, uh. We have to talk." Roxanne said between their kisses. "K." He said still kissing her neck. "Um, you no I'm not really good at beating around the bush so... .I'm moving."
*END OF FLASHBACK*
Roxanne walked up to Jack's front door praying no one was home. She was relieved to see that Jack's car wasn't in the driveway. She opened the door to find Mikey sitting on the couch. "Shit." She mumbled, as you could plainly see she had been crying. "Rox! What's wrong?!" Mikey jumped up from the video games he had been playing. "Nothing." Roxanne grumbled pass Mikey into the guest bedroom. Mikey barged in minutes after. "Knock much?!" Roxanne asked. And put her face in a pillow totally blocking out what he had to say, all she could think of was Tre. It sounds cheesy but she loved him so much. Usually if she knew things couldn't work out with a guy she would just end it and say no more, but with Tre she didn't want it to end. She loved him to much to let him go, forget that stupid saying if you love something let it go. Bullshit. She was not going to let Billie ruin this for her. Mikey was still talking and being "sympathetic" but Roxanne only got annoyed. "Mike are you done? Cause I sure am. I'm going out." She said and left. "Taking your car!" She yelled as she walked out the door. She turned on the car and pulled out of the drive way. "I need someone to talk to, someone who understands Tre enough to tell me if he would really want to keep going with this because I don't want to be selfish and ruin his career if he doesn't think I - if he doesn't think US is worth it." Roxanne thought to herself.
She finally came to a decision. Mike. It was the only way. Mike Dirnt was the most reliable person she had ever known and he and she were tight before she moved away she knew Mike would help. She found Mike's house and knocked on the door.
"Roxi?!" He had the funniest look on his face. "Hey Dirnt. Miss me?" She asked with a smile. "Hell yes! Get in here what are you standing out there for?!" He asked pulling her in the house. "What are you doing here?! Its been forever which is way to long between best friends." He said. "Well ya know the whole thing with Billie. I dunno I just wasn't sure you would want to see me." Roxanne said shyly. "Bull shit. Of course I would want to see you. I missed ya kid." Mike always got around to calling Roxanne kid seeing as she was so much shorter than him, hell she was a lot shorter than anybody she was about 5'1, barely. "Want something to drink?" Mike asked. "Nah, I'm good. Actually I came here to ask you something." Roxanne said. "Bout' Billie?" Mike asked raising an eyebrow. "No, about Tre." Roxanne said, suddenly her feet had become very interesting. Mike studied Roxanne's face, if anyone knew her better than she knew herself it would be Mike. He knew her better than Mikey even. "What about Tre?" Mike asked slowly. "Um, well, its kinda a long story but suppose Tre was seeing someone, secretly. And that someone happen to be at war with Tre's best friend. Do you think Tre would still wanna go on with the relationship if he loved the person enough, hypothetically of course?" Roxanne asked. Mike's eyes got huge. "You're the one?!" Mike said almost dropping his beer he had just gotten out of the freezer. "The one what?" Roxanne asked cautiously. "Tre has been acting... .differently for the past couple of months. Hasn't wanted to go to strip clubs has been turning down hot groupies more often, going back to the room and making mysterious phone calls when we do shows. I don't he seems different and me and Billie came to the conclusion that he was seeing someone he finally cared about. Even when he was married to Claudia he was still horny beyond all belief, now he seems like he's finally in love. And now I know who. Billie's gonna love this." Mike said excitedly.
"He'll love the fact that Tre's found someone to be happy with but he won't be happy with the fact that its me. He hates me." Roxanne said. "Well hate to break it to you, but you have been kind of a bitch to him." Mike said looking apologetic. "I know, its just he made me so mad and the one thing he seems to be really passionate about these days is hating the president. So god, I dunno one day some guy brought up something about me and Billie looking really tense around each other and I just thought up the one thing that I knew would piss him off. I said I supported Bush and didn't appreciate what Billie was doing." Roxanne said. "The only problem is I totally agree with Billie." Roxanne added quietly. Mike's eyes got wide. "You mean you were doing this to piss Billie off?!" Mike asked. Roxanne nodded looking at her feet. "Shit." Mike mumbled. "But like I said I'm not here to talk about Billie I'm here to talk about TRE. Remember him, short, insane, cute, ringing any bells?" Roxanne said. "Yeah, yeah, I know. Um, what was your question again?" Mike asked. Roxanne rolled her eyes. "Never mind. Just don't tell anyone about this got it." Roxanne said. "Not even Bill-'' Mike started. "Mike have you been listening to a word I've said?! Especially not Billie." Roxanne said. "Ok." Mike answered reluctantly. "Good, ok I'm gonna go." Roxanne said. "K I'll see you later." Mike said kissing her cheek. Roxanne smiled and opened the door to leave. "Hey Rox?" Mike said. "Hmm?" Roxanne said turning around. "You should talk to Tre." Mike said. "Yeah, yeah. I know." Roxanne said with a half smile. Mike nodded and shut the door.
Roxanne sighed. How did I get myself in so deep in shit? Roxanne thought to herself.
* Tre's POV *
I smiled. I haven't talked to her in two weeks because ever since Billie and Adrienne started having problems Billie has been over here non-stop. "Hey you." I said not being able to wipe the smile off my face. "I miss you." Roxanne said. She misses me? Billie always got the chicks, and usually I didn't care but with Roxanne I always cared. I wanted her now she finally wanted me back. And I couldn't be happier.

"I miss you too." Tre said. "Is anyone at the house right now?" Roxanne asked. "Nope, I'm all alone. I wish you were here." He said. Roxanne smiled and put her hand over the phone and quickly told the driver Tre's address and the driver made a sharp right and we were there. "Well... " Roxanne said getting out of the car grabbing her bag and throwing some money at the driver and mouthing a thank you. She walked up to the front door. "Open your door and... .." She said playfully. "Yeah right, I wish." He said. "Oh just do it, for fun." She said. He walked up to the door and opened rolling his eyes until he opened the door then he jumped and screamed.

"Hey Jackie! Look Roxie's here!" Jason yelled leaning over to give Roxanne a hug. "Duh Jason, I brought her here with me." Jack said in a your-so-stupid sort of way. "Oh." Jason said and went back to the game of pool he was playing with their friend Ryan. "So were going out with the Way guys tonight?" Roxanne asked. (Way meaning Mikey and Gerard) "Yeah, Frank will probably come to the club to but not till a little later." Mikey said.
*MikeyW is Mikey way and just Mikey is the Mikey Troth*
Gerard and MikeyW came to Jason's house a couple hours later and they all headed out to a local bar. Roxanne walked with her arm hooked in Mikey's. "I missed you Mikey. I feel like we haven't been together properly as a band since, god I don't know when." Roxanne said. "Yeah, I just talked to Jordan the new manager and he said we start a new tour of just the U.S in a month, and guess who our opening act is?" Mikey asked. Roxanne shrugged her shoulders. "MCR!

At about 8:00 in the morning she got a call on her cell phone. She got it out of her back pocket and answered it. "Hello?" She said groggily, her head was killing her. "Hey Rox" Tre replied happily. "Baby can I call you back I got a fucking bad hangover. I need to go get some aspirin." She said. "Yeah sure. Hey! Why don't you take a cab over here? I could take care of you." He said. She could just picture his devilish little smile as he said that. "Nah..." She started. "Aww c'mon, no ones awake yet right?" He asked. "No, okay but just for a little bit." She said. He giggled. "K, I'll see you when you get over here." He said. "K, love you bye." She said. She hung up and changed her shirt and brushed her hair and teeth. And re-applied some eyeliner and called a cab.

And put her face in a pillow totally blocking out what he had to say, all she could think of was Tre. It sounds cheesy but she loved him so much. Usually if she knew things couldn't work out with a guy she would just end it and say no more, but with Tre she didn't want it to end. She loved him to much to let him go, forget that stupid saying if you love something let it go. Bullshit. She was not going to let Billie ruin this for her. Mikey was still talking and being "sympathetic" but Roxanne only got annoyed. "Mike are you done? Cause I sure am. I'm going out." She said and left. "Taking your car!" She yelled as she walked out the door. She turned on the car and pulled out of the drive way. "I need someone to talk to, someone who understands Tre enough to tell me if he would really want to keep going with this because I don't want to be selfish and ruin his career if he doesn't think I - if he doesn't think US is worth it." Roxanne thought to herself.
She finally came to a decision. Mike. It was the only way. Mike Dirnt was the most reliable person she had ever known and he and she were tight before she moved away she knew Mike would help. She found Mike's house and knocked on the door.
"Roxi?!" He had the funniest look on his face. "Hey Dirnt. Miss me?" She asked with a smile. "Hell yes! Get in here what are you standing out there for?!" He asked pulling her in the house. "What are you doing here?! Its been forever which is way to long between best friends." He said. "Well ya know the whole thing with Billie. I dunno I just wasn't sure you would want to see me." Roxanne said shyly. "Bull shit. Of course I would want to see you. I missed ya kid." Mike always got around to calling Roxanne kid seeing as she was so much shorter than him, hell she was a lot shorter than anybody she was about 5'1, barely. "Want something to drink?" Mike asked. "Nah, I'm good. Actually I came here to ask you something." Roxanne said. "Bout' Billie?" Mike asked raising an eyebrow. "No, about Tre." Roxanne said, suddenly her feet had become very interesting. Mike studied Roxanne's face, if anyone knew her better than she knew herself it would be Mike. He knew her better than Mikey even. "What about Tre?" Mike asked slowly. "Um, well, its kinda a long story but suppose Tre was seeing someone, secretly. And that someone happen to be at war with Tre's best friend. Do you think Tre would still wanna go on with the relationship if he loved the person enough, hypothetically of course?" Roxanne asked. Mike's eyes got huge. "You're the one?!" Mike said almost dropping his beer he had just gotten out of the freezer. "The one what?" Roxanne asked cautiously. "Tre has been acting... .differently for the past couple of months. Hasn't wanted to go to strip clubs has been turning down hot groupies more often, going back to the room and making mysterious phone calls when we do shows. I don't he seems different and me and Billie came to the conclusion that he was seeing someone he finally cared about. Even when he was married to Claudia he was still horny beyond all belief, now he seems like he's finally in love. And now I know who. Billie's gonna love this." Mike said excitedly.
"He'll love the fact that Tre's found someone to be happy with but he won't be happy with the fact that its me. He hates me." Roxanne said. "Well hate to break it to you, but you have been kind of a bitch to him." Mike said looking apologetic. "I know, its just he made me so mad and the one thing he seems to be really passionate about these days is hating the president. So god, I dunno one day some guy brought up something about me and Billie looking really tense around each other and I just thought up the one thing that I knew would piss him off. I said I supported Bush and didn't appreciate what Billie was doing." Roxanne said. "The only problem is I totally agree with Billie." Roxanne added quietly. Mike's eyes got wide. "You mean you were doing this to piss Billie off?!" Mike asked. Roxanne nodded looking at her feet. "Shit." Mike mumbled. "But like I said I'm not here to talk about Billie I'm here to talk about TRE. Remember him, short, insane, cute, ringing any bells?" Roxanne said. "Yeah, yeah, I know. Um, what was your question again?" Mike asked. Roxanne rolled her eyes. "Never mind. Just don't tell anyone about this got it." Roxanne said. "Not even Bill-'' Mike started. "Mike have you been listening to a word I've said?! Especially not Billie." Roxanne said. "Ok." Mike answered reluctantly. "Good, ok I'm gonna go." Roxanne said. "K I'll see you later." Mike said kissing her cheek. Roxanne smiled and opened the door to leave. "Hey Rox?" Mike said. "Hmm?" Roxanne said turning around. "You should talk to Tre." Mike said. "Yeah, yeah. I know." Roxanne said with a half smile. Mike nodded and shut the door.
Roxanne sighed. How did I get myself in so deep in shit? Roxanne thought to herself.
