A Ticket From Heaven, chapter 3
"So, where are we going?"
"Oh it's only the bar that we have for touring but it's quiet."
"Okay."
We walked into a room that I guess was the bar he was talking about. He was right about one thing. It was quiet. There were the bartender and some men sitting around a mahogany table but that was it. We walked up to the bar and took a seat on the stools (the bartender didn't seem to notice that I was underage, probably because I was with Tré)
"Ahhh Tré me mate! What can I get you and your lovely lady today?"
I giggled and Tré looked at me and winked before he answered the man, "Just the normal please Josh, what do you want Katie?"
"Erm... I'll just have a coke please."
"Right you are! One coke and one Tré special coming up!"
When we had finished our drinks there was 2 and a half hours left before the show began, we decided to go and see what Rachel, Billie and Mike were doing so we set off back the way we came
"Tré! Finally! Man where were you?"
"Only at the bar."
Billie looked at him and then looked at me, I don't know what he was thinking but whatever it was I don't think he believed Tré. He looked down at our hands to see if we were holding them together (which we weren't!)
"You took half an hour just to have a drink?"
"Well we did talk as well you know!"
I looked at Tré; he seemed to be getting a bit pissed off with all his friends weird glances and questions,
"Erm... I'm going to go see Rachel, thanks for the drink Tré,"
He looked at me and smiled that same smile that made me melt earlier. "Okay bye."
I smiled back as best as I could and he took a step towards me but seemed to notice Billie watching our every movement so he stepped back again.
*Tré's POV"
I watched Katie walk off and then turned to Billie, I can't believe he was being so rude and giving her so many dirty looks!
"Dude! What was all that about?!"
"Tré! You're getting a crush on a 15 year old kid! You took half an hour just to have a drink and talk to her and we've got a show in front of 20,000 people which you aren't even practicing for and then you wonder why I'm so fucking stressed!?"
I looked at him with amusement in my eyes not only was he practically accusing me of being a perv, but he was also saying I didn't care about the band!
"Excuse me but it's up to me who I get a 'crush' on, as you put it, and I don't exactly see you practicing with your guitar either! She is one of our fans and you don't even care to take the time to talk to her so that she stays a fan!"
I threw my hands in the air with distress and walked away.
*Billies POV*
I can't believe that bloke! Of course I care about our fans! Why the hell does he think I'm even doing this bloody show!
I walked off after him just to find he standing talking to Rachel and Katie again.
I rolled my eyes and walked off to get Blue my beloved guitar so I could practice.
*Katies POV*
"I just can't believe him! I can't believe that he would even think I don't care about the band."
Tré rubbed his forehead in misery and unbelief, Billie had really laid into him about the whole getting a drink thing, it didn't change me or Rachel thinking he was the best singer ever but it did make us a bit angry.
"Don't worry about it, he's just a bit worried about the show, that's probably all... "
"Yeah," Rachel joined in trying to cheer him up, "I'm sure he's just nervous, after all, it is in front of 20,000 people!"
Tré looked thoughtful for a minute, "Hmmm... I guess you two are right... . Thanks."
I smiled; it was good to see he wasn't upset anymore! "That's okay," I stepped forward to give him a hug but he seemed to beat me to it, giving me a kiss as well...
"I'm sorry!" he blushed, Rachel stood there staring at us as if we had announced that we were getting married.
"Erm... it's um... . It's ok... "
*Tré's POV*
Oh shit!
I can't believe I just did that, she's gonna be so pissed! And what if Billie saw it as well?! I'm gonna get kicked out of the band for sure!
But she is really pretty... NO! DON'T THINK LIKE THAT! She's a fan, nothing more, nothing less!
Oh who am I kidding?!
I moved in for another kiss, my curiosity running wild as I wondered how she would react, "Erm... you'd better go... the show starts in an hour," she said turning her head away.
I look down at my watch she's right, I had better go, "Yeah you're right, listen I'm sorry about the kiss... it didn't mean anything... " I looked at her, she suddenly looks at the floor when I say that last bit "... unless you want it to!" I add quickly in vain hope that she might want it too mean something like I do.
"Yeah... I'd like it to... "
We lean closer and kiss again, more seriously this time, I put my hand around the back of her head and then she pulls away.
"Seriously now... you'd better go... " she looks over my shoulder at something so I look as well only to see Billie there staring at us with a shocked and angry look on his face.
"Bye..." I say turning back to her... "I'll see you after the show yeah?"
"Yeah... after the show."
"Oh it's only the bar that we have for touring but it's quiet."
