1987, chapter 3
I woke up with a throbbing head ache; I looked at the clock, 2am.
"Ugh" I said, while getting up and heading to the bathroom. I looked through the cupboard and spotted a box of hair dye, I didn't look at the label, I just put it in deciding I needed a change.
11:30am...
"Oh my god!" said Billie waking up and pointing to my hair.
"What?" I asked completely clueless about what colour it was as I still hadn't looked in the mirror.
"Your hair!" replied Billie.
"What about my hair?" I asked.
"IT'S BLUE!" he shouted.
"OMG! AWESOME!" I said while getting up and running to the mirror.
"When did you do your hair, and why the fuck didn't you know what colour it was?" asked Billie frowning slightly.
"Err... Last night 2am... And I just grabbed the packet and didn't bother looking at it. It was gonna be a surprise for me AND you guys." I said, laughing at Billie's facial expression. 'He looks so god damn cute. I just wanna run over and kiss him and... ' my train of thought was broken by a bang that came from the top of the stairs.
"What the fuck?" I said as I ran to the stair case.
"Owww," said Mike, who had obviously fallen down the stairs. Billie and I laughed.
'Wow he has the cutest smile, ' I thought and looked into his eyes... 'and the most beautiful eyes, Ugh, don't think about Billie. He's your best friend. You love TRE not Billie... Plus, even if I did like Billie it's not like he loves me too, ' I thought. Although, I wondered if that was true, I wondered if he DID like me...
"Ashleighhhhh Helloooo? Anyone alive in there?" came a voice.
"Huh, what?" I said coming out of my daze. "Oh, hey Tre!" I said, giving him a quick kiss on the lips. I dropped down onto the sofa and went in search for the remote.
When I looked at Billie I noticed he was looking at Tre. And I noticed he looked jealous. 'Omg, he's jealous? No he can't be... He doesn't like me... Does he? ' I thought. I shook the thoughts out of my head and flicked through the channels 'till I found something I liked.
"FUCK!" I heard a yell from the kitchen.
"What happened," I yelled because I couldn't be bothered getting up as I was extremely comfy.
"I cut my finger!" Billie yelled.
"Aww, Ash is coming, she will make it all better for wittle Billie," I said.
I heard Billie giggling, and smiled.
After I had put a band aid on his finger, he said "thank you nurse Ashleigh... Can you kiss my boo boo better?"
I kissed his finger and said, "all better now?"
He shook his head then kissed me, not on the cheek, but on the lips, and not just a friendly kiss, a passionate one... He broke away after about a minute.
"It's all better now," he said.
I was still in shock. I just nodded and stood there. As I watched him walking out of the kitchen, I found my self staring at his ass. 'OMG he has a fucking hot ass. Wait no Ash, don't think like that. Omg wait. He just kissed me? What the fuck am I gonna do? I love Tre, but I love Billie too. ARGH! '
***
"So guys, I was thinking about starting a band. What do you think?" I asked.
"Good idea! You can hold the auditions at my house in the garage!" said Billie.
"Yeah, cool, thanks, Billie!" I replied. "But, I don't even have a name for the band, or anything!"
"True," said Mike, "I'm sure we could help you with that!"
"Mmm, thanks, I'm sure as hell going to need all the help I can get!" I said. "Hmm.. Where the fuck has Tre gotten to this time?" I asked.
"Fucked if I know, probably got him self locked in the bathroom again," said Mike laughing. "I'll go look for him,"
"Okay... " I said. While Billie just nodded.
When Mike had left the room, Billie started talking.
"Um... Ash,"
"Yeah?"
"You know what happened... Earlier... "
"Mmm. What about it?"
"Umm.. I'm sorry, I know you like Tre and all, I just... Wanted to show you how I feel, because I kinda suck at saying it. Unless it's in a song, but then the guys would wanna hear it too... "
"Hey, Billie, shut up. It's okay. I like you as well. I'm just really confused at the moment. I don't know what I'm feeling and who I'm feeling what ever I'm feeling for. If that made any sense." I said. I walked over to Billie, who was sitting on the sofa, and gave him a quick kiss on the lips, hugged him and sat down next to him.
"Hey guys, I found Tre!" said Mike, walking in with Tre following behind.
"Where the fuck were you Tre?" I asked.
"He was locked in the fucking bathroom, AGAIN!" said Mike, looking annoyed. "Guys, band practice, garage, NOW, Ash, you may come too if you like."
"Hmm, thank you Mike, even if you hadn't invited me, I still would've come, you know that right?" I said laughing.
"Haha. Good point Ash," said Mike, grinning.
"Mike, I didn't get locked in... The door stuck... " said Tre glaring at Mike.
"What ever, Tre," said Mike glaring back at Tre. Mike and Tre walked into the garage,
Billie and I looked at each other for a second before we both got up and followed Mike and Tre into the garage.
***
"FOOD!" yelled Tre going mental. We were headed to the mall to get some dinner at McDonalds, and Tre was getting extremely impatient and hyper.
"Fucking hell, Tre. CALM DOWN." yelled Billie.
"Make me bitch," said Tre in a girly voice.
"Trust me, you DO NOT want me to," said Billie grinning evilly.
"Try me." Replied Tre grinning back mischievously.
"Nah, to lazy," said Billie. Everyone laughed at that.
"Lazy-ass," said Ash grinning.
"Yeah, but you love me," said Billie winking.
"No I don't," said Ash frowning.
"Liar," said Billie. "Everyone LOVES me,"
"No they don't Billie," I said.
"Yes they do, Mike,"
"Nuh huh," said Tre. "I don't!"
"He's got a point Billie, not EVERYONE loves you," said Ashleigh
"I WANT CHEESE!" yelled Tre randomly.
"What the fuck Tre?" I asked.
"I want cheese," said Tre.
"Yeah, I noticed that, fucking hell, you're random Tre, you said that outta fucking no where!" I said surprised.
"LOOK! WE'RE HEREEEEE!" screamed Tre jumping up and down and clapping his hands, which earned him a few curious glances from the fellow shoppers. "WHAT?!?!?" he yelled at them. They all turned away shocked.
"What do you want?" I asked Ashleigh.
"Umm, double cheese burger and fries please," was her reply.
"Okay, Guys, I'm paying!" I announced.
"But you're poor, Mike," said Tre.
"AM NOT, I have $400," I glared at Tre.
"Shit, how'd you get that?" asked Billie.
"It's called a JOB Billie, ever heard of them?" I said, annoyed.
"Fuck up Mike," said Billie.
"You can pay for your own now Billie, and Tre too," I said.
"FINE!" said Tre. "I hate you Mikey,"
"Don't call me Mikey," I said sternly. And with that I walked out of the shop and out of the mall, but not before giving Ash $30 for her food and what ever else she wanted.
*AT MCDONALDS*
"Holy fuck, Billie, Tre, why the fuck did you do that?" I asked them glaring at them both.
"I... I... Don't know," said Tre who was on the verge of tears.
"He just pissed me off. He knows I've been looking for a fucking job. And he goes and says that shit to me. And I'm even nice enough to let him stay in my fucking house," said Billie angrily.
"Fuck. I know Billie. Sorry I got all pissed off, I just hate seeing you guys fight. It tears my heart in two, I love all you guys, you're all my best friends. And.. Ugh, I don't know," I said staring at me shoes. "Tre, don't cry," I said, pulling him into an embrace. He held me tightly sobbing into my shoulder. I looked at Billie who smiled.
"Don't be sorry Ash, I know what you mean, lets go back home," said Billie.
"I WANT FOOD!" said Tre in my ear.
"Fuck Tre. Don't scream in my ear!" I said.
"Sorry," he blushed.
After we got our meals we started home. I was munching on my fries and so were the guys. I had gotten Mike a burger and fries too, I knew he'd appreciate it.
*AT BILLIE'S*
"Weeeeeeeeeee!" I heard someone yell from down stairs. I guess it was Tre. I heard the front door close and someone walk up the stairs.
"Mikeeee" I called. "You up here? I brought some Macca's for you!"
"In here," I heard a faint reply from Mike's bedroom. I walked in there to see him sitting on the edge of his bed with his bass.
"Hey, I brought Macca's!" I said.
"Thanks," he said looking up. I noticed he'd being crying.
"Are you okay?" I asked him, worried.
"Mmhmm. Just a little fucked off about Billie's comment, you know?" he said. " And not to mention Tre's comment."
"Look, I apologize for what they said, they didn't mean it. Billie just got a little bit mad about the way you said ever heard of a job, and he lost it. He was thinking you know, that he has let you stay in his house, and all that shit... And yeah... "
"I know, I didn't mean to say it the way I did."
"I know, you didn't. Come on down stairs, Mike. They're all waiting for us," I said.
"'Kay" he said.
"Mike, dude, sorry about what I said," said Billie the second he saw his best friend and band mate.
"Bill, don't worry about it. Kay?"
"Mmhmm."
"Sorry Mikeyyyy!" said Tre, who ran over to Mike and gave him a hug.
Mike looked shocked. "It's okay Tre, and what the fuck... Don't call me Mikey, and get off me you're gonna fucking choke me to death,"
"Sorry... " said Tre, letting go of Mike.
"Ash, can I talk to you upstairs please?" Billie asked me.
"Uh.. Sure," I said, wondering what Billie wanted to talk to me about...
"Ugh" I said, while getting up and heading to the bathroom. I looked through the cupboard and spotted a box of hair dye, I didn't look at the label, I just put it in deciding I needed a change.
11:30am...
