Lost For Words, chapter 18
‘ I guess I’ll see you later then’, Billie Joe said, giving Steph a final kiss before he and the boys left the house to go down to the studio.
-The Studio-
“Mr Livermore would like to see you boys in studio 9 recording ASAP. Your equipments been set up for you�, one of the administration workers said as they followed him up a hallway with millions of doors. They stopped at one, and he unlocked the door letting them inside.
‘You’ve been asked to start recording from the moment you get in here. Mr Livermore will be coming to speak to you shortly’, he finished, walking back out and closing the door behind them. The boys looked around the studio. It was set up just the way they had been told. They walked up to their instruments and started mucking around.
‘Okay we should play something proper’, Billie Joe suggested. He started to strum the chords to At the Library. He started to think of the girl he actually wrote it about, before he started dating Steph.
‘Are we gonna start?’, he asked, as Mike started plucking and Tre picked up his sticks. The group started playing together, creating the most amazing sound they had ever made. On the other side of the glazed mirror wall Mr Livermore was watching them closely. He had an engineer record them without them knowing so that they wouldn’t be under pressure.
He turned to the engineer and said words that he usually would have said; ‘this music is going to live on forever. Its going to be great’.
-2 Years Later-
The boys had finally returned home after 2 years of touring. They walked into the house they had first settled at when they had come here.
‘Billie Joe your home’, Steph squealed, jumping into his arms as he came though the door. He caught her and spun her around for a while.
‘Did you miss me?’, he asked her, stepping to the side as Tre and Mike came in.
‘Of course I did. I was lonely apart from the phone calls’, she told him, giving him an intimate hug.
‘Mmm I missed you too’, he told her kissing her forehead, before he lead her with him to the couch.
‘So you guys tell me about it. How is the rest of the world?’ Steph asked, talking a seat in Billie Joe’s lap.
‘It’s amazing’, he told her, looking into her eyes, ‘You have to come with us the next time we tour’.
‘Yeah its beautiful. You’ll never really appreciate it until you see it all’, Tre told her, patting her on the back. She hugged Billie Joe in closer, telling him how much she had missed him over his absence from her before the continued kissing each other, for the moment felt right.
‘Well I’m glad your home for your 20th’, Steph whispered to him, putting her arms around his neck and biting it softly.
‘Mmmm, so am I’, he said, lapping up the affection he was getting. It felt so good to be home with the girl that he loved again, and he was going to make sure that she knew he felt that way.
‘Here, hand me a beer Tre’, Billie asked, as his friend did as was asked, ‘I want a make a toast to my two best friends Tre and Mike, and to my gorgeous girl-friend Steph, the one I will love forever, for helping me become the man I am today’, with that, he flicked the top off and drank until his heart was content.
The other 3 all picked up drinks as well, and started trying to get wasted. There was a knock at the door.
‘I’ll get it’, Mike said, getting up from where he sat and walking to the door to answer it.
‘Hello...OMG Riana?’ he said in shock.
‘MIKEY?’ she asked, in the same tone of voice. The two looked at each other for a moment before exchanging a small friendly huh.
‘I don’t believe you remembered me’, she told him, looking into his eyes, with surprise.
‘Of course I would remember you’, he told her, smiling sweetly. He stepped outside and closed the door behind him, so that the two could talk.
‘You know the day you left, I thought you were just wiped of the face of the earth’, Riana informed him, still holding onto him.
‘Yeah I guess we really didn’t say goodbye, did we’, he thought hard, before he walked her back inside the house and to his room. The others didn’t seem to notice them walk though. When they got there, Mike closed his door and sat down on the bed, with her next to him.
‘I can’t believe your actually here’, he told her again, putting his arm around her. She clung onto him softly, resting her head on him.
‘Mikey...’ she said, her voice seemed to trail off. He looked down in to her eyes, and tried to search thought them. He let her continue with what she had to say.
‘You’re, you’re gorgeous did you know that’, she told him, blushing as her words came out.
‘So are you’, he responded, kissing her without thinking. He started to run his fingers though her hair, like he used to when they were alone. Riana, broke away from the kiss, and rested herself down on to his chest, causing her to become sleepy. In the other room, the rest of the household was going crazy.
‘MIKE COME QUICK, WE’RE ON TV’, Billie screamed, from the lounge room. Mike stayed where he was.
‘Yeah I’ll come later’, he said, cuddling up to the girl he was with.
‘Or I could stay here with you’, he said closing his eyes. Riana did the same and eventually the pair slowly fell asleep.
‘Du-‘, Billie cut off as he opened Mike’s bedroom door. He saw the two sleeping like angels and decided to leave them and run back into the lounge.
‘OMG you will not believe it?’ Billie said enthusiastically as he walked into the lounge.
‘What?’ Tre and Steph asked.
‘Mike’s sleeping with a girl’.
