(In Alexia's point of view)
It was three months and two weeks since the beginning of the tour. Tre and I were very much happier since we told the guys. We tried to hide it the best we could but would we would kiss in front of people. We went out for ice cream.
"Mm, Chocolate chip ice Cream." Tre said.
"This is better." I licked some of my ice cream.
"What is it?" We were in Utah and I was eating a special ice cream.
"It has alcohol in it."
"Wow, that means I can get drunk with it?!" He tried to a lick, but I moved it.
"No, then they wouldn't have given it to me. It has a small percentage of alcohol. You would have to eat about three quarts of this is you would want to get drunk." He got disappointed and then I bite some of my ice cream. I had some on my lips and Tre kissed it off. I smiled and took a bite of his ice cream.
"Hey! My ice cream!"
"But you took some of mine!"
"Yeah, but not much! You took almost one third of my cone!"
"Okay, fine." I put some more ice cream on my lips. "Take a bite."
Tre licked my lips and he smiled. "There we are even." We went back to the buses and we went for the next city.
When we arrived the next day in a city in Virginia, people were looking at me weirdly. People who didn't even know me would just look so strange at me. We went to the dressing room and we saw Green Day in there.
"Hey what's up?" I went to Tre and kissed him. He had a weird look on his face too. When I noticed, all of Green Day had a weird look on their face. "Okay, what's wrong with people today? Why are you giving me a weird look?"
"Alexia we need to talk." Tre said. He got up from the couch and dragged me to an empty room. He had a paper in his hand.
"What's wrong?"
"Remember yesterday when we went out for ice cream? Well, a photographer caught us there." He opened the paper, and in the front page was Tre kissing the ice cream. The headline said, "Hot drummer and cute lead singer in steamy and illegal relationship!"
I just stood there. My breath was getting heavy and I could hardly breathe. I was about to faint and I almost fell but Tre caught me.
"Are you okay? You need to sit down." He let my down on the floor and I just sat there shocked. I knew we shouldn't have done that, but we did anyways.
"Maybe... maybe we should stop this."
"Stop what?"
"Stop being girlfriend and boyfriend."
"What?! But... "
"Just face it Tre, you're too old for me and I can't even drink yet. I can't even date guys two years older than me and you're 18 years older than me. We have to hide this everyday, and it's getting tiring." He had a shocked look on his face.
"Don't let them do this to you, Alexia. You told me that I made you feel happy, so why are letting them change you again. Don't let this little headline to hurt you!" As he did that I got a phone call on my cell.
"Hello?"
"Alexia? It's your mother. Journalists are calling and talking about you being with the drummer of Green Day! Is this true?"
"Mom, just tell them that we're just friends and that we were joking around. I'll tell you the details later."
"But honey is this true?"
"Mom, if you want to take the side of the press. The ones who got me in emotional pain and made me feel like shit. The ones who made me anorexic and then said about it. If you really want to take there sides then keep asking me if it's true. Now tell them that we're just friends." I hung up on her.
"See Tre that was my mother asking me if it was true."
I almost broke down in tears. Tre tried to comfort me.
"Tre please just go away."
"No, I won't. I want to be with you. You make me happy; make me feel like a brand new man. Alexia," He turned me head so we could see each other face to face. "I love you."
I stood up. "I told you not to fall in love with me. I told you!" I ran to the bus.
(In Tre's point of view)
She ran away and I tried to catch her, but then thought of what would happen if I did. I went to the dressing room and saw everyone there. I got a flower pot that was one the table and threw it at the wall. It shattered to millions of pieces; I guess how the mirror did in Alexia's dream. Jennie was there and she looked worried.
"If I were you, I would go to Alexia right now. She needs help." I told her that and she ran out the door.
(In Jennie's point of view)
I ran to the buses and Alexia was getting hysterical. She was throwing everything around. It looked like she had cut her hand from breaking something.
"Alexia what's wrong?!"
"I told him not to fall in love with me! And you know what he falls for me!" She threw something else.
"What!"
"Yeah, and he told me right after this crap! I knew that I should have never gone out with him! That I shouldn't... "
"Fallen for him." I said. She stopped and looked at me.
"Don't even say that! I do not love him!"
"Who said that you love him? I said you have fallen for him. But you do love him, if you will deny it so fast." Alexia came up and slapped me. "You're not yourself, so I forgive you."
She stood silent and then I could see that the good Alexia was coming. "It's why now! I'm suppose to be studying in a class, with kids my age. Not in a tour bus, having to get tutoring and falling for the drummer of a band."
She broke down and fell to the floor. I checked her and she had fainted. I ran to get our manager. The whole band went with Alexia. Our manager told Green Day about how they would have to cover us.
(In Tre's point of view)
I just sat down in the dressing room, thinking to myself. Billie came to me and sat down next to me. "So what happened?"
"She wants to break up." I covered my eyes; I was too surprised at what had happened in the last ten minutes.
"Oh, so Jennie is calming her down, why she broke up with you?"
"No, after that I told her... I told her I loved her." All the guys stood quiet. Mark just looked at me with the biggest eyes I have ever seen. Jason was choking on the food he was eating, and Jay was patting him on the back. Mike, Mike just stood there like it was normal. Billie, though, looked like he was gonna choke me.
"I told you not to hurt her."
"I didn't know she would be crying about that."
"Tre, you don't tell a 17 year old girl that you love her. She's too young to understand that herself."
"She knows what it means and how it's felt; she doesn't want to feel it though." I just stood there and all of the sudden, Johnny, The Hopeless' manager came in.
"Mark, Danny, hurry. Come on." Mark and Danny ran outside. I wondered why. All of the sudden, Johnny came back ten minutes later.
"Um, you guys I'm afraid you're gonna have to go on stage earlier. Alexia has just gone to the hospital."
"WHAT?!" I yelled. I couldn't believe it. "What happened?"
"She seemed to have an attack and cut her wrist accidentally. She didn't lose a lot of blood, it's that she fainted. We need for you to cover for The Hopeless."
"Umm, okay. Is she alright?" Billie said.
"I think so, she's gone through worse." He left and I stood up.
"Tre don't go." Billie said.
"I have to. It's my fault." I was about to leave when Jason said something.
"Do you think Alexia would leave her band, just like that? No. She would wait until the set would be over to help somebody. Her friends are everything. She needs them the most right now, not the person who made her have the attack."
Although I didn't want admit that he was right, I knew that he was. I stayed with the band until the set was over and when it was, I went straight to the hospital.
