Only of You, chapter 1
*My POV*
I met Billie Joe back when Green Day were only on their first album. We were the same age and I was his next door neighbour. He came around my house after all of our stuff was inside the house to welcome us. Now that we are on the same sort of terms, he has told me that he had had feelings for me since the day he met me. He used to give me guitar lessons that I couldn't get and I was taught for free. I always thought he was cute; on the outside and the inside but ever since he started to teach me guitar, I have loved him.
When his second album 'Kerplunk' was recorded and toured, he came back and we caught up with each other. Billie Joe told me he had been seeing someone. He had her number and her name was Adrienne. I was never jealous of her; I considered her very lucky to have the perfect person for me love her. He would talk about her all the time and I would have my own love life; even though my heart was stuck on Billie.
*Billie Joe's POV*
When I first saw Ailene I knew I loved her. I didn't tell her until recently. I met her when she moved into the house next to me and Green Day were just starting to form. It was only 'till recently that she found out about my feelings but she's gone now. I hope she will come back soon though; she told me that she feels the same but she is thousands of miles away from me and I don't know if she's coming back. I offered to teach her guitar for free which she took and we had a lot of good times together. After me, Mike and Tre had recorded and toured 'Kerplunk' I came told Ailene about my girlfriend who I did love but I still had a feeling that I was meant for this girl; my neighbour, my love.
*My POV*
Years went by, a lot of years. I saw Green Day live 19 times in those years and loved all of their shows, always in the front row, always shouting, always singing the verses word for word, always going backstage, always loving Billie Joe. Though there was one time when I didn't go backstage. He was married, a dad and I was a sad old girl with a love for music and a man. I seemed depressed and I didn't feel like going backstage. I remember walking back to my car with throngs of people behind and in front of me, talking and laughing, having a better time than me. The show was fucking great as always but there was something different that I hadn't enjoyed as much; I hadn't talked to Billie.
*Flash Back to 1992 after 'Kerplunk' had been released*
The stars were out, all of them. This was pretty romantic, just me and Ailene, lying in the field next to the barn, watching the stars. We both enjoyed it. She told me that she was the only person who she knew who liked to watch the sky whatever the time until she met me. I wanted to tell Ailene how I felt, how I felt about her, but I was going out with another girl and I wasn't sure how Ailene would take it.
"I always used to do this with George but it's a sorta shame we broke up, even though I was the one who did it. Now I guess I have someone else to watch the stars with... " she said to me in a dreamy, distant voice.
"I only used to do this by myself but I love the company now... " I replied and I told the truth; I did fucking love the company, I loved the company more than anything else in the world.
I felt Ailenes hand find mine and she held onto it.
"I love the company too... " she whispered.
*End of Flash Back*
*Billie Joe's POV*
I had been looking for Ailene all night; that night when she didn't come backstage. I had felt like absolute crap not being able to have seen her, talked to her, anything. I needed this girl and I realised that I loved her and that she was going to know.
*My POV*
I was going to Australia to visit my relatives for a long time; about 1 year and I thought 'I should've gone backstage' after I got on the plane. I hadn't said good bye to Billie Joe; I hadn't said anything to him a long time. I hated myself, I hated myself so much.
*Billie Joe's POV*
After the last show of the tour, the first thing I did was go to Ailene's house. I had moved house since then but I still knew where Ailene lived. I had knocked on the door but no one answered. I had knocked again and again until I thought my knuckles would fucking bleed but then I found a note under my feet, on the mat. It had said in Ailene's hand writing:
'Sorry if you are looking for me but I have gone on the trip to Perth, Australia for 1 year but I have a mobile with me so please contact me whenever you can if you wanted to talk'.
I remember thinking 'SHIT, FUCKING HELL, 1 WHOLE FUCKING YEAR?!'
*My POV*
After the first month with my grandmother, Aunty and Uncle I started to miss Billie Joe awfully. I didn't wanna phone him because it would be awkward; what would we talk about, the paint on the wall drying? He would ask why I didn't come backstage if I did call and then he would have to know; I couldn't lie to Billie without cracking.
*Billie Joe's POV*
I remember that I had lost her mobile number when I was touring; it was in a hotel room somewhere. That was when I did one of the most craziest things I have ever done in my life; I went back to all the hotel rooms and searched them... all for love. I needed her to know, I couldn't just sit back and wait for a year to go by. I needed to fucking call her!
*My POV*
My year in Australia was almost up; only another month to go... I had been woken up by the doorbell; it was 8:00am! WAY too early after a night on the booze but when I had seen who it was, I nearly dyed of shock and excitement. When I opened the door, there stood a tired and, tired, Billie Joe.
I remember saying "SHIT NO! BILLIE YOU BUM, YOU CAN'T BE HERE!! WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL?! FUCK!"
Then he had said the truth and it was the plainest truth I have ever heard:
"Look, Ailene... Um, this is kinda hard to explain and will defiantly sound all fucked up but, I love you. I love you more than anything, more than anyone else in the world. I loved you from the moment I saw you putting all of your stuff into your room from my bedroom window, I loved you from those 19 times you saw our shows and came backstage, I loved you from then to now and if you think that, knocking on your door until my hands bled then finding a note then searching all the hotel rooms that I had slept in after the tour for your mobile number, which I didn't find, then tracking you down from friend after friend, each one thinking I was a fucking stalker then flying all the way over here to tell you this isn't love then that is fine and I will go back to Berkeley and see you in a month... "
Well, right now me and Billie Joe are doing quite well. We have been through a lot of fights; Billie had his divorce from Adie which was hard on everyone. We have been married now for nearly 2 years and it's coming up to our anniversary. Billie Joe has given me so much as far as we have gone and I love him more than ever. He has given me a wonderful home, a wonderful relationship, unbelievable love and sex, 2 lovely step-children and our unborn baby...
