Billie Joe and Adie...A Bond That Will Rock On Forever!, chapter 13
Billie and Adie strolled along the empty street, hand in hand. Billie was looking at his feet, it was almost as if Adie was a stranger - they hadn't seen each other in so long.
Adrienne broke the silence and smiled up at Billie. "So are people stopping you in the street now? It must be so cool hearing your songs being played on the local radio station and all that," smiled Adrienne, squeezing Billie's hand. He let out a sigh and shrugged his shoulders.
"I guess, it's defiantly an achievement... But it's just weird and sometimes you feel a little embarrassed?" Said Billie scratching his head.
"Embarrassed? You? I thought you were Mr. Confidence?" Laughed Adrienne, she bent over clutching her stomach with sarcastic laughter. Billie put his arms around her and lifted her feet 10 cm from the ground.
"And I see your still Miss Bla-Blaaa?" Replied Billie putting Adie down.
"Ahhh hey hey put me down!" She laughed "Where did you get Miss Bla-Bl..." Before Adie could finish her sentence Billie pressed his lips against hers quickly. When he let go, Adie gazed into his eyes and put her arms around him hugging him close on the pavement.
"You know I love you, right?," Muffled Billie into her cheek.
"Yeah... I'm about 99% sure, but you'll have to prove the other 1% to me," She grunted back, slightly laughing.
"How?" Asked Billie, his hand caressing Adie's back. Adie pouted her head down and rolled her eyes up at Billie "You can..."
At that moment a grey, battered and beaten Cadillac came racing down the quiet street and skidded to a holt next to where Billie and Adie were standing.
"Dude! Hey, what you doing up this early? You going fishing or something?" Someone shouted from the car, Billie turned his head away from Adrienne and saw Sean, Tre, Mike and Jesse (another friend) all looking at him from the Cadillac.
"Woah... It should be me asking what your doin up so early, Mike the bed bug?" said Billie leaving Adrienne's arms and leaning over the side of the car. "I guess you havn't been home or slept after crashing the party last night?" continued Billie as he looked down at the sea of beer cans surrounding the guys feet.
"Yeah yeah thats us, PARTY ANIMALS," Screamed Sean in a girly voice, his huge curly hair was everywhere.
Tre leaned his head past Jesse's head and spotted Adrienne.
"Adie!," he yelled jumping up with his arms open.
"Whaaaaa?" said Mike looking around startled, "You mean Adrienne? Billie's Adrienne?." Adrienne stepped out from behind Billie smiling.
"Mike, Tre!" She exclaimed leaning over to hug Tre. Sean and Jesse smiled at her.
"So your the girl Billie's talked about so much then?" smirked Jesse gently punching her arm.
"I guess so," she laughed as Billie kissed her cheek.
"You fuckers gonna offer us a ride then?" said Billie Taking Adrienne by the hand and letting himself into the car.
"Well, were heading down to my place to hang out... You wanna come?" said Jesse, jolting up the engine with Billie next to him in the front and Adie sandwiched between Tre and Mike at the back talking away.
"Naaaaaa, drop us off at the appartment, I need to show Adie something." Billie turned around and winked at her.
"It's good to see the old place again," smiled Adie, reffering to the small basement appartment that Billie shared with Tre and Sean. Her and Billie jumped out of the roofless car and said bye to the guys. They walked down the small outdoor steps leading to the underground appartment.
"Wait a sec," Urged Billie suddenly whipping out a hankerchief and tying it around Adie's eyes.
"What?" laughed Adrienne "Billie, whats going on?"
Billie turned Adrienne around and guided her back up the steps, they walked across the street a bit, Billie'shand around Adie's waist, guiding her through the crowds of people all staring at the youthful couple and Adie's blindfold.
"Taaadaaaa!" said Billie whipping the blindfold of Adie to reveal a small tatoo parlor.
"Huhhh?" said Adrienne looking around. "Why have you brought me to a tatoo shop?" she questioned. Billie jumped from behind her "BOO!" Billie took her hand and guided her into the shop, confused.
"Here." ordered Billie placing a drawing of sketch word '80' (her knickname) on the front counter, in front of a very 'hard' looking man wearing sunglasses and a coat of tatoos. Billie lifted up his T-shirt and pointed to a spot just above his crotch, on his stomach.
"I want this here please," he ordered firmly. Adrienne was really suprised, he was getting a tatoo for her, a symbol of her on his body. She took a stride towards the counter and stood strongly by Billie; "And could you get me one too?" she asked pointing to her upper right arm "Just put Billie Joe and then you can inprovise" she smiled taking Billie'shand.
It was only a day ago Billie was seriously questioning their relationship, and deep down he knew it was still gonna be as hard as ever; When Adie was actually with him, it seemed so right, but deep deep down, in his brain he could sence that as soon as she returned back to Mineapolis the strain would appear.
"Why are you doing this for me?" questioned Adie as he sat down on the chair.
"Cause I love you Ade's, I'm never gonna love another woman the way I love you, and although we hardly ever see each other, I want something to remind me of you while we're apart!" he replied, quiet solemnly for 'Billie Joe'. She smiled and kissed him.

Billie and Adie walked out of the shop after having their tatoos done. They had a great two days and Billie loved Adrienne but it was about an hour before Adie was due to catch her bus that it happened. She was packing her suitcase humming an operation Ivy song to her self (they had gone to the gig last night) but she didn't have a smile on her face.
"Hey babe," said Billie walking in. Adrienne looked up and smiled hopefully at him pausing for a second and looking him over.
"There's something we've gotta talk about, 80" muttered Billie looking at his feet.
"Yeah, I kindda guessed, with Europe and all that." said Adrienne.
Billie stepped towards her and held her hand...
Adrienne broke the silence and smiled up at Billie. "So are people stopping you in the street now? It must be so cool hearing your songs being played on the local radio station and all that," smiled Adrienne, squeezing Billie's hand. He let out a sigh and shrugged his shoulders.
