My life with Green Day, chapter 2
*NEXT DAY*
"Oi! Birthday Girl, wake up!" Billie shouted in my ear. I groaned really loud and play punched him.
"Why must I wake up so early?" I yawned and sat up. My vision was slowly coming back to me. I could see Billie sitting there with a party hat and lots of presents at the end of my bed. Tre walked in, rather groggily, and Mike walked in with two cups of coffee.
"Oh yeah... It's my birthday...Duh... " I sat up and Billie handed me a wrapped up box. I started ripping the wrapping paper off and there was a little box. I opened the box and there was something else to unwrap. It was in soft tissue paper, blue tissue paper to be precise. "Is there enough wrapping paper?" I laughed and took the tissue paper off. Wow... It was a diamond necklace that said "Samantha Young", Young was my last name.
"WOW! Billie, thank you so much!" A huge hug. We held onto each other for ages... Billie practically wouldn't let go." Umm Billie?" He let go.
"Oh erm... Sorry got caught up in the moment," He turned red; Mike and Tre both started cracking up. I tried to look anywhere but Billie's eyes. Mike handed me his present. It was really heavy! I unwrapped it. YES! Mp3 player!
"THANK YOU SO MUCH MIKE!!!!" I hugged him. Our hug was a LOT quicker than mine and Billie's. Tre handed me his. It was only a card, no present. I took the card out of the envelope, only it didn't end up being a card, but a $200 gift voucher for the mall and 2 tickets to see The Living End, live!
"Thanks Tre!" I hugged him. He pecked me on the cheek and I noticed more presents on the bed. "Who are they all from?"
"Your family! You think they'd forget about their precious 24 year old daughter?" Mike said.
"You mean Billie's precious 24 year old girlfriend?" Tre sniggered. Mike and Tre coughed up in laughing fits.
"I'm not his girlfriend... " I said," And I'm turning 23 today, not 24."
"Oh shit," Billie picked up his card got a permanent marker out and started drawing the 4 into a 3 so it said "HAPPY 23TH BIRTHDAY!" he then changed the TH into RD so it was spelt right. Mike suddenly stood up.
"The cake! Be right back! Don't open anything without me!" He ran down to the kitchen. I stared, very confused. Tre ran after him saying "DON'T MESS UP THE CAKE!!!" It was just Billie Joe Armstrong and Samantha Young. In the same room, alone. Awkward, I know.
"Um... Should I see what they're doing? You don't want them ruining your cake... Do you?" We wouldn't meet each others eyes. We both knew we wanted to kiss. But it would be so awkward if Mike and Tre walked in on us.
"No, stay," I smiled at him. "Got to go to the toilet, be right back," I walked into the bathroom and shut the door. I didn't really need to go to the bathroom; I just couldn't stand the awkward silence. I looked through the keyhole to watch him. He was banging his head on the bed. Aw, so sweet. I flushed the toilet to make it seem like I went and washed my hands (they felt filthy) and walked outside.
"I'll, um, go check on Tre and Mike," I said, very awkwardly.
"Erm... I'll come!" He shot out of the room and ran downstairs. Wow, he must have felt so awkward.
I walked into the kitchen to find Mike with a pair of gardening gloves on (boys!) and he was rearranging the letters on my cake to 23 instead of 24. Tre was pretending to shoot mike with a fake gun and Billie was staring at their stupidity.
"Mike," Billie said.
"Wait, genius at work!" Mike said. I couldn't help but laugh. Tre started laughing too. Billie just rolled his eyes, got out a little packet of colourful letters and walked over to Mike.
"Mike, instead of making a four into a three, why don't you take the four off and use a three from in here?" Billie said to Mike. Billie was smart.
"Oh yeah!" Mike said taking a three out of the small packet and proudly taking the four off and putting a three there. I sighed, rolled my eyes and went back upstairs. I sat on my bed and shook some of my presents. Although my parents were still back in Australia, I was surprised they sent me a birthday present. This was the first time after 6 years that they've sent me a birthday present. Mike, Tre and Billie walked in.
"Okay, you can open your presents now," Mike said, taking his gardening gloves off and putting them on my side table.
I picked up a present from my mum and dad. It was really light and small. I took the "pink" wrapping paper off. Erg, pink, I hate pink. And they know! They never liked me being a punk and wearing black all the time...
"Wow," I said sarcastically, "$5, in Australian money too, wow, because I can really spend Aussie money in America," I hate my parents. They hate me. It's a fact, not an opinion.
"What about the other present? Who is it from?" Billie asked. I picked up a medium sized present and opened it. It was a little box that said "Memories... " on it. I opened it up. There was a letter, a few photos and a pair of earrings. The photos were of me and my friend from Australia, Brianna, and the letter was about what has been happening, saying happy birthday, and other stuff. The earrings were the ones we used all our pocket money on when we were 15... Good times... They were diamond earrings saying "love" This was the sweetest thing anybody has ever gotten me!
Green Day stood up and went downstairs to prepare a breakfast for me. I took the last sip of my coffee and had a shower. This time, without being interrupted. I put on my favourite black pants, with my black and gold top that said "Hell raiser" I put lots of mascara on and my new necklace that Billie got me. It actually went really well with my outfit. I put some eyeliner on and my black and white converse and a black hat that I had put all my Green Day badges on from when I was younger. I walked out and Billie just stared at me the whole time.
"Billie? Why are you staring at me?" I asked. I was a little frustrated that we hadn't made a move yet.
"Just how nice that necklace looks on you... " He did the fakest smile and put his head in his hands. I went over to him.
"Billie," I whispered, "Come into the lounge room, I need to tell you something," I whispered really quietly into his ear and led him into the lounge room. Oh crap, what was I going to say now? Oh Billie, I really love you and I hope we can go out and have 1 gazillion kids and be married and then live happily ever happy like in fairy tales? Yeah... I wish.
"Billie... Um... well... I kind of... have... a... " I went all quiet as he put his finger on my lip.
"Sam," His voice sounded so sexy, I just wanted to kiss him! "I love you... " Well, I didn't kiss him. He kissed me. If I were to go to heaven, this would be it. It seemed like hours we just stood there, sharing our love for each other, when Tre shouted," OI! Lovebirds, hurry up!"
"SHUT UP TRE!" I shouted. Me and Billie just laughed and walked out. Mike went over to Billie and Tre came over to me. He opened the door to the car for me and then jumped in after me.
"So. Have you two lip locked yet?" He asked.
"Shut up Tre," I simply said.
"Well, come on lets get going. Sam can't wait any longer for her surprise! She'll ABSOLUTELY love it!" Mike said to Billie, as Billie was driving towards the airport-THE AIRPORT?
"Why are we going here... If you are trying to happily reunite me with my annoying family, it ain't going to work because I hate them and they hate me." I glared at them all (including Billie) to see what they had to say.
"HAH! No, we're not reuniting you with your family. Just wait and see your surprise!" Billie said, pulling into a space in the airport car park. We walked inside and about 15 giggling girls ran up to Tre, Billie and Mike.
"LADIES! Please, we're on official business, please just go annoy-OH MY GOD! I JUST SAW THE LIVING END OVER THERE! QUICK! THEY MIGHT LEAVE SOON! RUN AND FIND THEM! RUN!" Tre shouted. The screaming girls ran over to where Tre had pointed and looked around pointlessly. Tre, Mike, Billie and me all ran. I was following them so I had no idea where they were going. Billie was holding my hand as we ran, when someone walked in between us and I lost Billie, Tre and Mike. I stopped dead. The airport was crowded so I couldn't see past the people standing next to me. Shit! They have my mobile as well! How am I supposed to find them now? Someone tapped me on the shoulder.
"Yes?" I turned around to see Brianna standing there! I squealed, "BRIANNA!!! OH MY FUCKING GOD!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? Is this the surprise? If it is then I love it!" we hugged each other.
"SAM!! I haven't seen you in so long! Billie Tre and Mike all phoned me to see if I could come over for 4 weeks!!!!!! And they made your parents give you a present... although I heard your mum talking about you the other week... not nice stuff... anyway, enough about me! What about you?"
We walked over to a little café and sat down. I saw Mike waving at me to go to where they were.
"C'mon, Mike's waving for us to go over to them," We struggled through the crowd and finally found them. "Yeah Mike?" I asked.
"Get me a coffee will you?" Gees, I walked through that entire crowd for him to ask for a coffee! Me and Brianna laughed and then Billie, Tre, Mike, Brianna, and me all walked over to a table and sat down. The waitress came and we all ordered.
"Medium ice chocolate, thanks," I said. Brianna ordered the same as me. Billie ordered a hot chocolate and Tre ordered a strawberry milkshake and coffee for Mike, obviously.
"Brianna, I love your hair like that!" I said.
"Me too," Tre said, looking at her like she was an angel. Her hair was layered and really long and black. She laughed at Tre's comment and took a sip of her ice chocolate.
"Want a sip of my strawberry milkshake, Brianna? It really has a pop to it!" Tre said.
Wow, Tre Cool, hitting on my best friend... the thought of it is so funny... Mike, Billie and me all laughed as Brianna took a sip of his milkshake.
"Mmmm... It does have a pop to it!" She's an idiot... He's hitting on her and she's saying yum, nice drink...
We went back home and started getting ready to go out to a dance party. I put on some different clothes and went and waited in the car with Billie. We sat awkwardly until he broke the silence.
"So, are you enjoying your twenty-fourt-third birthday?" He added quickly. I laughed.
"Yes, I can't believe you guys thought I was that old!" We laughed and Mike came in.
This time Mike was driving and all we were waiting for was Tre and Brianna. Where were they? Mike shouted out their names and they came out a minute later giggling a lot. Ok this was way weird. Tre and Brianna together? Two of my best friends going out? Billie and I stared at each other...then shot up laughing. Mike joined in and Tre and Bree went red then sat down in the car.
"I love you," Billie whispered in my ear, so only I could hear him. I smiled at him and whispered back, "I love you too," He held onto my hand, so only we could see. Brianna looked suspiciously at us then stared at Tre. We went to the club and partied all night till 3AM. When we got home we all went straight to sleep. Except Tre and Brianna, who Tre asked if she wanted to sleep in his room for the night.
"Oi! Birthday Girl, wake up!" Billie shouted in my ear. I groaned really loud and play punched him.
"Why must I wake up so early?" I yawned and sat up. My vision was slowly coming back to me. I could see Billie sitting there with a party hat and lots of presents at the end of my bed. Tre walked in, rather groggily, and Mike walked in with two cups of coffee.
