Tré's Magical Adventure, chapter 8
Billie Joe and Mike came into the changing room not long after.
"Why did you leave the stage so soon?" asked Billie.
"Oh, I just really needed to go to the toilet." lied Tré. Billie didn't ask him anymore about it. They all quickly got changed and went out to the tour bus. Tré stumbled onto the bus. He surveyed the bus thinking where to sit. He finally sat down beside Jason White. "So did you get Billie a present?" Jason asked.
"Yeah" said Tré bitterly "He threw it on the floor." Jason gave him a strange look.
"He actually threw the present on the floor in front of your face? That doesn't sound like Billie Joe."
"Well he threw it on the stage" replied Tré.
"That was probably in the heat of the moment" said Jason, defending Billie Joe.
"Maybe" muttered Tré. The bus pulled in at the hotel. The band checked in and most of them went to bed. Tré wandered up to his own room. He sat down heavily on the big bed. He looked around the room for some inspiration on what to do. He didn't feel tired and he wasn't hungry. He was just upset and bored. There was a knock on the door. "Come in" called Tré. Mike opened the door and walked in.
"Hey Tre" he said sitting down beside him on the bed. "I was just wondering why you left the stage so soon." asked Mike curiously.
"I told you I needed to go to the toilet." Replied Tré gruffly.
"I heard you were crying Tré" whispered Mike.
"Who told you that?" asked Tre suspiciously.
"Mary. She seemed concerned," answered Mike.
"Well tell her to mind her own business." pouted Tre, sticking his head in the air and crossing his arms.
"I just wanted to know if you were okay" said Mike about to get up.
"If you must know I bought Billie Joe a present and then I saw him throw it away on stage." Tré whispered, tears formed at the side of his eyes again. He brushed them back.
"Was the present a tie?" asked Mike.
"Yeah a red one" replied Tré. Mike took something red out of his pocket.
"Is this it?" he asked holding out the red tie, "I found it on stage."
"Yes that's the one" said Tré jumping up. He tied the tie around his neck.
"Oh Mike!" he yelled, "I love you! I can't take this any more! I have to have you now!" He said ripping his shirt off. He threw Mike back on the bed. He then quickly untied his belt. Suddenly the door opened.
"Hey Tre, I was ... " said Billie Joe. Billie looked at Mike then at Tré. Tré looked at Mike. Mike looked at Billie Joe. Tré looked at Billie. Mike looked at Tré. Everyone was looking at each other.
"What the fuck is going on?" asked Billie Joe, still staring at Tré. Tré's pants and underwear were down around his ankles. All he was wearing was Billie Joe's red tie.
"Emm..." murmured Mike looking at Tré for help.
"Well isn't it obvious?" Tré asked Billie. "We're lovers" he said defiantly.
"We are?" asked Mike bewildered. "Yeah of course we are!" said tre shocked at Mike's reaction.
"This is the first I've heard." said Mike getting off the bed.
"But we made love and you asked me to wear the thong!" whispered Tre. His bottom lip trembled.
"I asked you to wear the thong for a joke I didn't actually think that you would." explained Mike. That was it. Tré couldn't take anymore. Tears streamed down his face.
"Tré could you at least pull up your pants?" asked Billie Joe. Tre hitched up his trousers.
"Will you guys please go away? I want to be left alone." requested Tré. "Oh and here's your tie Billie." he managed through the tears. He handed Billie Joe his tie which was soaked from his tears. Mike and Billie both left. Tré climbed into bed and tucked his head under the duvet and cried himself to sleep
