An Extraordinary Girl, chapter 6
The recording session lasted for about an hour. They only got through 4 songs because Mike kept skipping notes; Tre kept going out for food and messing around, and Billie kept going out to see if Amanda was all right. After they were done recording the band sat around a table with their band manager. They were talking about what they were going to do for concerts, new records, and other things like that. Amanda was sitting all alone on the couch. She sighed and stood up. She walked over to the table. There weren't any seats left so she sat on Tre's lap. Tre was kind of surprised. He smiled and put his arms around her waist. Amanda slapped his hands. He pulled back as she got up. Billie and Mike smirked. Amanda went over and sat on Billie's lap before they continued. She fell asleep in the middle of the conversation. Billie was stroking her hair as she slept.
"Amanda, wake up," Billie said after an hour was up. Amanda opened her eyes. She got off of Billie's lap and stretched.
"I'm hungwy," she said in a baby voice.
"So am I," Tre said getting up.
"What do you want to eat?" Billie asked.
"Texas Road house!" Amanda said excitedly.
"Texas Road House it is," Billie said taking out his keys. He got up and walked out the door. Amanda and the band followed. They all filed in the car. Billie in the driver's seat, Mike in the passenger's seat, and Tre and Amanda in the back. She stayed to the far side of the car away from Tre. Before Billie could drive off the band manager came up to the car. He knocked on the window.
"Yes?" Billie said rolling down the window.
"Can I eat with you guys?" the band manager asked.
"Sure, but your driving," Billie said getting out of the car. He walked around the car and opened Amanda's door. She scooted over and let Billie in. She was stuck in the middle between Tre and Billie. The band manager got into the drivers seat and drove off. They arrived at a near by Texas Road House about 20 minutes later. Tre was the first to get out. Amanda got out next and ran into the restaurant. Billie got out and followed. He walked down to the bar. Tre and Mike followed. Amanda watched them sit down at the bar and soon followed. She sat down next to Billie and Tre. Right away Tre ordered a Cheech. Billie ordered a Bud Light and Mike ordered a Miller. Soon afterwards the band manager ordered a root beer. Amanda got a glass of water.
"What does a Cheech taste like?" she asked.
"Wanna sip?" Tre asked.
"Tre, no. She's a minor," Billie said.
"So, I wanna try it," Amanda said. Tre let her take a sip of his Cheech. They all laughed at the face she made. She quickly started to drink her water.
"Too strong," she said choking. The band was cracking up. Tre started to drink his Cheech again. Billie took a sip of his beer. Same with Mike. The waiter came and asked what they all wanted to eat.
"Steak, with a baked potato, and onion rings instead of the veggies," Tre said.
"Same," Billie and Mike said in unison.
"Hamburger, fries, and an Oreo shake," Amanda said.
"A salad," The band manager said.
Tre was taking a drink at the time, and then started cracking up for no reason. He spit half of his drink out all over Amanda. She screamed slightly. Billie and Mike started dying laughing. Tre covered his mouth. He began to dab Amanda's shirt with a napkin. All the while he was saying he was sorry. She wiped off her face and smacked Tre upside the head.
"Fuck off Tre!" she yelled and got up. She walked to the bathroom to dry off.
"You've done it now Tre," Billie said between laughter. Mike literally couldn't breath he was laughing too hard.
Amanda walked into the bathroom, and grabbed a few paper towels. She wiped off the front of her shirt. Then she washed off her face. She walked over to the hand dryer and pushed the button. The dryer started. Amanda stood in front of it so her shirt could dry. She wrung out her shirt a bit. When her shirt was dry she walked out of the bathroom and back to the group. The band was still cracking up.
"It's not funny, shut up!" She yelled. The food arrived. The band and Amanda began to eat. After an hour they left the restaurant and went home. Amanda stormed into the house when they arrived. She walked into the spare room and slammed the door. She was pissed at Tre.
"What's up with her?" Adrienne asked.
"Tre spit Cheech all over her," Billie said. He put his arm around his wife. She chuckled at what he said and looked at Tre. Tre gave an innocent look. Mike shook his head and walked into the kitchen, he got another beer. Billie began to kiss his wife. Amanda had come downstairs to ask if Adrienne had any pajamas she could change into. She gasped at what Billie and Adrienne were doing. They were practically having sex on the couch.
"Luckily the kids are asleep," Amanda said running upstairs. Tre followed. He walked into his room to be alone. Amanda could hear Tre in the next room singing.
I Was Alone
I Was All By Myself
No One Was Looking
I Was Thinking Of You
Oh Yeah, Did I Mention?
I Was All By Myself
All By Myself...
All By Myself...
All By Myself...
I Went To Your House
But No One Was There
I Went To Your Room
I Was All By Myself
You And Me Had
Such Wonderful Times
When I'm All By Myself
All By Myself...
The song was followed by sex noises.
"Ew..." Amanda said. She walked out of her room to get farther away from Tre. She looked down the hall and saw Billie and Adrienne close the door. She ran downstairs.
"Why is every one having sex in this house?" she asked as she sat down next to Mike.
"What do you mean everyone?" he asked.
"Tre's upstairs jacking off and Adrienne and Billie just locked their bedroom door, doing God knows what!" Amanda said shuddering. Mike shook his head. He took a sip of his beer and chuckled. Amanda looked up at the ceiling.
"Want to watch some television?" Mike asked grabbing the remote.
"Sure."
Mike switched on the TV He started to switch through the channels. He stopped at Cartoon Network to see if Amanda wanted to watch cartoons. She shook her head. Mike flipped to Nickelodeon. Amanda shook her head. Mike gave up and just turned it to a channel he wanted to watch. He took a sip of his beer and stared mindlessly at the television. Amanda stared at Mike for a while. She sighed. She wanted to talk about something so bad, but she had nothing to say.
"Can you teach me how to play guitar?" she asked breaking the silence.
"Ask Billie that, but I'll teach you how to play bass," Mike said.
"Guitar. Bass. Same thing," Amanda said.
"Sure, get my guitar. It's in my room."
Amanda nodded. She ran upstairs and into Mike's room. In the corner was his bass. She picked it up gently and ran downstairs. She handed the bass to Mike and sat on the floor. Mike stood up and played a chord. He gave the bass to Amanda. He showed her how to hold the guitar. He got her fingers placed right on the strings in the G major chord. He took her other hand that had the pick and ran in down the strings. She practiced a few times until she got it right. She the learned how to play a few more chords. Soon Mike had taught her most of the bass parts to Longview. She smiled at her accomplishments.
"It's getting late. You should go to bed," Mike said.
"No. Not while Tre is jacking off," she said.
"I'll switch you rooms okay?"
"Alright," Amanda said. They both walked upstairs.
"Night," Mike said walking into the room.
"Night," Amanda said back before walking into Mike's room. She lie down on his bed and fell asleep.
"Amanda, wake up," Billie said after an hour was up. Amanda opened her eyes. She got off of Billie's lap and stretched.
"I'm hungwy," she said in a baby voice.
