"I've Done Twins", chapter 22
Tre looked up at Jason, who was watching t.v. innocently and minding his own
business.
"Jase..." Tre squeaked.
"Shh! This is a good bit!"
Chris, from the Family Guy, cracked a joke. Jason laughed and turned to Tre with a
big smile on his face.
"Jase," He squeaked again, "There's something I need to tell you..."
"Oh no, you're not gay, are you?" Teased Jason.
Tre smiled weakly, "No. You wish. It's about Hayley..."
Jason's smile faintly disappeared.
"And Billie..." Tre added sadly. Jason's expression went completely. He stared at Tre
with his lips tightly shut and the saddest look in his eyes that Tre had ever seen in his
thirty three years of life.
"I hope you're not insinuating that my girlfriend slept with Billie, Tre. Because if you
are..."
"Jase, I'm sorry," Tre whispered, "But it's true."
"You're joking," He hissed, "Don't play around with me, Tre."
"Jason, I don't play around with stuff like this. I may be a clown... type person... but I
don't kid about stuff like this."
Jason sighed and nodded.
"Well...?" Asked Tre, "Aren't you gonna explode or anything?"
"Nah," Jason mumbled, "No point."
"Are you ok?" He asked, putting his hand of Jason's shoulder.
"I'll be fine," Jason sighed, getting up and walking outside.
"Jase," Tre said quickly. Jason turned around, Tre smiled, "Wanna hug?"
"Maybe later," Jason smirked. He left the room, Tre sat in silence for a while until
Jason ran back in and hugged Tre.
"Thanks, bud."
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" Shouted Mike.
Hayley flinched and stared at Mike. Billie refused to make eye contact. They were both
sitting on the bed while Mike paced and shouted infront of them.
"Billie! Why? Why would you do that to Courtney?"
"Because... it's..."
Mike cut him off, "Is this because she didn't have sex with you?! You run off with
someone else and break her heart instead!?"
"Wait a fucking minute!" Shouted Hayley, "What are you talking about?!"
"YOU CHEATED ON JASON!" Mike shouted.
"WELL COURTNEY DOESN'T KNOW THAT DOES SHE?!" Screamed Billie,
before Hayley could retort.
"Shut up, Billie. She's gonna find out..."
"AND SHE'S GONNA DUMP YOUR SORRY ASS SO QUICK!" Courtney shouted,
standing at the door. She'd overheard her name and walked into the room, only to end
up hearing the whole conversation.
"Courtney, baby. No, listen..."
"Leave me alone Billie. Don't fucking talk to me!"
She slammed the door shut. Billie stared down again.
Mike sighed and Hayley bit her bottom lip.
"We're so screwed, Billie Joe," Hayley whispered.
"No kidding," Snapped Mike, leaving to find Courtney and Leah.
Jason found Leah sitting out the front of the beach hut behind some trees in a clear
shady area. The area was grassed and well hidden by trees and bushes.
"Hey," Jason whispered.
"I'm sorry, Jase. I..."
"It's not your fault, Lee. It's... mine I guess."
"How?" Asked Leah incredulously.
"I... I obviously wasn't good enough for Hayley. And let's admit, Billie's a front man.
Everyone loves him or wants to fuck him at one stage."
"Yeah... but... they can't. There are limits, Jase. You can't just give into lust like that.
It's stupid."
"I agree," Smiled Jason, "But it's Billie Joe Armstrong! Even I've wanted to
fuck him!"
Leah laughed at the joke, "I see you've got your sense of humour, still. That's good."
"If that went, I'd have nothing. I'm actually very boring." Jason sat next to her and put
his arm around her shoulder, "Well... what's your problem? Why are you out here?"
"I'm not going back in there," Laughed Leah, "It's gonna be a total war zone. And I
told Mike to fuck off. I feel bad about it."
"That's nothin'," Chuckled Jason, "You don't have to face Billie... or Hayley."
"I'm sure I'll have to face Billie," Grinned Leah, "You obviously haven't seen what
I've done to him. He's not as pretty anymore."
"I hope you hit him extra hard for me."
"I don't know what I'm gonna do, Jess. It's all my fault," Whispered Tre.
"It is NOT!" Protested Jess, "You didn't do anything, Tre. You didn't tell anyone.
They over heard."
He sighed, "Still, Jess. It's not fair. They have to deal with all this and it's all because
of me."
"Would you please stop blaming yourself?" She smiled and kissed his cheek, "It
isn't your fault."
Silence.
"Yeah it is," He whispered again.
Jess sighed and tossed herself onto the couch next to him.
"Tre," She said, "Tre, look at me."
He turned and faced her sadly, she was smiling softly at him. She pulled a funny face,
and Tre couldn't help but giggle.
"I hate seeing you so down, sweetie. You're smile's to cute to hide."
He smiled again. "You're just sayin' that," He joked, slapping her wrist shyly.
"I'm not. It is. You're smile makes other people want to smile. Honest."
Tre touched her cheek softly and kissed her lips. Jess grinned sweetly.
"You're smile is the thing that makes me smile, Jessica Greenwood."
"Am I any good at it?" She chuckled.
"You certainly are."
Jess went cross eyed and poked out her tongue. Tre giggled again. And they spent the
next few minutes pulling stupid faces at each other.
Later...
Leah was sitting next to Jason in the secret area. Mike found them and came in.
Leah looked upset still and Jason was wide eyed staring at Mike.
"Can we help you?" He grinned.
"Yeah. Let me talk to my girlfriend, please," Mike smiled.
Jason motioned him to carry on.
"Alone," Mike added.
"Oh, of course." Jason went away.
"I'm sorry for telling you to fuck off, Mike," Leah mumbled.
"It's alright, Leah. They're fighting, as you could imagine. Wanna go with me, Jess,
and Tre to... I dunno... somewhere?"
"Yeah, ok," She smiled, taking his hand and going out to the car, "I say we go to the
Ice Cream Parlour!"
Courtney watched Billie as he looked at his feet with guilt nearly killing him.
"Why did you do it, Billie?" Asked Courtney, trying to stop her voice sounding teary.
"It's... it's hard for me," Billie explained, "No sex. I'm trying not to pressure you but...
ugh! Courtney, you know I can't go without sex."
"Oh, so you cheat on me?" Snapped Courtney, "Such dedication, Billie. Really."
Billie went to say something else, but decided to shut his mouth.
"Well... c'mon. You've gotta be able to back yourself up."
"I can't," Billie whispered, "You're right. I did something wrong. But don't be harsh
on me. Please, don't leave me."
"What I don't get is," She started, glaring at him evilly, "Is that you constantly go on
about masturbation, and yet, you still cheated. Why didn't you just... wank instead of
cheat?! Huh?!"
Fuck, He thought, Can't back it up... Shit...
"Forget it," Courtney muttered, "There's no point in arguing with you, is there?"
"Courtney, are you going to leave me?"
She sighed, "Billie... you need to understand that I'm just not ready for the whole sex
thing. But I don't want you to cheat on me."
"I won't!" He shouted, "I won't! I promise Courtney. I swear."
She smiled weakly, "Ok... Billie. I'll give you another shot."
"THANK YOU!" He jumped up and picked Courtney up. He hugged her tightly and
kissed her, "I promise I won't let you down! I promise!"
Jason and Hayley sat in complete silence. She brushed her long curly black hair behind
her shoulders and looked up at Jason with her green eyes filled with tears. Jason
caught a glimps of her and had to look away.
"Aw, for fuck's sake," He muttered, "Hayley, say something."
"I don't know what to say," She whispered.
"Neither do I," Jason hissed impatiently, "I've never had anyone cheat on me before."
"I'm sorry," Hayley choked, "I really am. I don't know what came over me."
"I bet it was something nice though," He snapped.
"No, Jason. It wasn't. I thought of you the whole time. I actually had to stop myself
calling out YOUR name."
Jason looked up with a grin, "You're saying Billie sucks in the bedroom?"
Hayley smiled and shrugged. "I'm not saying he sucked, but he didn't over do you,
Jase."
Jason opened his arms and Hayley ran into them, "So I take it we're cool?"
"No," Jason snapped, "We're not cool. I just want to hug you."
"Oh, haha, I see."
"I still have heaps of shouting do you at you."
"Make it quick," Smiled Hayley, "I've got better things to do then be yelled at."
"ICE CREAM!" Shouted Tre when they pulled up outside the Ice Cream Parlour.
"Tre, shut up," Snapped Mike, "Don't be so loud."
"Let's get wasted tonight," Tre declared, scoffing down an ice cream once they took a
seat.
"Why?" Asked Jess.
"Because. Everyone's angry and having a bad day. We should get wasted."
Leah looked interested, "Yeah... well... I think getting drunk would make it worse."
"How?" Scoffed Tre, "Drinking solves ALL problems, Leah. Duh!"
"Well, when people get drunk they talk. Who knows what might slip out."
"And who cares what slips out?! We won't remember it tomorrow," Smiled
Jess.
"Well, you guys can do it, I won't," Snapped Leah, "Jess, gimme your phone."
"What's wrong with yours?"
"Please?"
Jess sighed and handed Leah her phone. Leah dialled a number and went outside.
"PMS," Grunted Tre. Mike rolled his eyes.
"Yes, coming from the thirty three year old with ice cream all over his face," Mike
said, "That's funny."
"It maybe funny," Grinned Tre, "But at least I don't have a girlfriend with a BAD case
of PMS!"
"She's just calling Courtney," Mike muttered, "And she doesn't want to get drunk, big
whoop."
"How do you know she's calling Courtney?" He asked.
"Because I know everything."
"Which is more then we can say for you, Tre," Teased Jess.
"Oh, hardy har har, Jess. You are so funny."
"I know," She joked.
"Alright, I bags having Guinness tonight!" Leah said, flopping back next to Mike.
"Ooh! Nice!" Grinned Tre, "And some of that really Aussie beer. Christ it's good!"
