I Wish I Could Tell You..., chapter 11
Billie woke up the next morning with a throbbing headache. He groaned and squinted his eyes as he adjusted to the sunlight that filled his room. Billie rolled out of bed.
"It wouldn't have lasted anyway." he muttered to himself, referring to him and Tre.
Billie winced as pain rushed to his head when he stood up, "Compliments of Mike Dirnt." Billie thought. Billie pulled on his old Ramones t-shirt, and slipped into a pair of jeans. Then he headed to the bathroom. Billie opened the medicine cabinet and swallowed a couple Aspirins with some water from the tap. He splashed some of the cool water over his face, which soothed his bruises and refreshed his tired eyes. Then Billie turned the water off and took a look at himself in the mirror.
"How did I get myself into this mess?" he asked himself out loud. Billie grabbed a towel and sighed, drying his face.
Then he headed over to Mike's house. Billie rang the doorbell, and waited for what seemed like hours; it was driving him insane. He rang the bell again, and this time he heard footsteps coming from inside the house. The door unlocked, and Mike opened it. Mike looked like he'd just gotten up; his hair was a mess, and his eyes were barely opened. But Mike suddenly seemed to wake up when he realized that it was Billie Joe standing in front of him.
"Uh, hi Billie... " Mike said, avoiding eye contact.
"Hey Mike." Billie said nervously, "Uh, listen, I gotta talk to you." he continued.
"Yeah, sure, come in." Mike gestured for Billie to come inside. Mike led Billie Joe into the living room where they sat down, both of them on different sides of the couch.
"So... " Mike said, leaning his elbows on his knees and fidgeting with his hands.
"Mike, you didn't let me explain about what happened yesterday." Billie said, breaking the silence.
"Billie, I understand why you guys did that." Mike cut in.
"You do?" Billie asked, surprised at Mike's reaction.
"Yes, I do." Mike replied, still looking down. "I talked to Jessica last night. I know it must be hard for you two. You dated for two months, broke up, forgave each other, and now you obviously still have feelings for each other. And I respect that, and so I broke up with her." Mike explained.
"Mike, I'm sorry." Billie sighed.
"It's alright Billie. I felt like we were going nowhere anyway." Mike said, "And besides, I should be the one apologizing." Mike finished.
Mike looked up and studied the bruises on Billie's face - the bruises he had given him.
"I'm so sorry Billie Joe. I dunno what got into me." Mike said as he moved closer to Billie Joe and ran his fingers over the bruise on his cheek.
"Mike, stop being so sexy... " Billie thought.
Billie reached up and took Mike's hand into his own. "I'm alright Mike, it's okay." he smiled, kissing Mike's fingers. For a moment, they just stared at each other, processing the last few seconds of their lives. Then Billie pressed his lips against Mike's and kissed him. But Mike pulled away.
"Mike, I-I didn't mean to... you know... I'm sorry." Billie stuttered, feeling his face go red.
"Billie, it's not you, it's just that... I've never felt this way before." Mike admitted.
"What do you mean... like, bisexual?" Billie asked.
"Yeah, I've never really thought about it before, Billie." Mike answered.
"Do you think you are?" Billie asked.
"Well, I dunno." Mike replied.
"Well if you ever wanna talk about it, I'm always here." Billie offered.
"Thanks Billie. You're so supportive of everyone, and I love that about you." Mike complimented.
"Hey thanks Mike, that's really nice." Billie smiled.
Mike smiled back, and this time, he was the one who leaned in and kissed Billie Joe. Billie didn't protest as Mike's tongue begged for entrance. Mike pushed Billie down onto his back so he was on top of him.
"Billie... " Mike moaned as he kissed Billie's neck.
"Mike," Billie whispered.
"Hmm?" Mike answered.
"I think I should go." said Billie.
Mike looked at Billie confusedly. "Why?" he asked.
"Don't take this personally, but, I don't want a relationship right now, Mike. Love sucks 'cause it never lasts for me, and I don't need another ex." Billie explained.
"What makes you think it wont last with me?" Mike asked as he kissed around Billie's jaw line. "You tried with Jessica and Tre... " he added.
"Jeeze Mike, you make me sound like a man whore or something." Billie laughed, "I've fucked two of my best friends, and now I just might fuck you." he added.
"Wait. I never said you had to fuck me... but I'll take it." Mike smirked.
"Mike... " Billie chuckled, pushing Mike off of him.
Billie stood up, and so did Mike.
"I'll see you later Mike." Billie said.
"You bet." Mike smiled.
Billie gave Mike a kiss on the cheek, and Mike followed him to the front door.
Before Mike shut the door, Billie stopped him, "Oh by the way Mike," Billie started in a serious voice, "In case you haven't figured it out yet: you're definitely bisexual." Billie laughed as he headed home.
"Thanks!" Mike laughed too, as he called after his friend.
Where do we go from here?
And what did you do with the directions?
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road.
"It wouldn't have lasted anyway." he muttered to himself, referring to him and Tre.
