In Alexia's point of view
We got all of our stuff from our rehearsal space. Mark got all of his drum sticks and his bass guitars. Danny got his guitars, drum sticks, and his brand new bass, he was barely learning. Jennie got her bass. I got my acoustic and electric guitars, also my keyboard. I was having trouble with my keyboard, and Mark noticed, so he helped me. It was two week before the concert in New York. We put the stuff in the moving truck that was gonna send our instruments to the stage by plane.
"Thanks." Mark smiled and tried to kiss me on the cheek but I moved away.
"You're welcome." He went to help Danny and I went to help Jennie. Two weeks until we were gonna meet Green Day and tour with them. The Hopeless and Green Day in concert.
In Tre's point of view
The five months went slowly, but for Mike, it went fast. I guess having your true love and have a son it can't go slow. Carl said that our opening act was a sophomore band; the barely had their second CD I guess. The Hopeless I think they were called. He said the lead singer was a 16 years old girl. Kind of young for having a second CD but hey inspirations is inspiration. But now that I think of it, Billie was very young with his singing.
"I'm gonna miss you two," Mike said. He kissed Andrea and kissed Frank on his forehead. Frank was barely learning to walk so Andrea tried to teach him a little bit their since Mike was leaving them. Frank almost fell but Mike caught him. He smiled and gave Frank to Andrea.
Billie said bye to Adrienne and Jay and Jason said goodbye to their wives. I entered the plane first and everybody followed. I sat down and started listening to my Ipod. I had bought the CDs of the Hopeless, the CDs were called Why Her and Not Me? And their brand new CD Have You Fallen for an Idiot? I already listened to their first CD and I was listening to their second. The song I was listening to was called Have you've forgotten. It had only an acoustic guitar and drums.
Have you've forgotten
Why you loved me
Have you've forgotten
Why you left me
And why did you run away
From the pain
That you've made for yourself
I know now
It's cause you know that my pain is much worse
What I'm feeling is hell
And you know that I'll give it back
You've hurt me and now I'll hurt you
Cause you know I used to love you
And you know that I have burning flames
In my eyes
And that I'll kill you with my gun
That I got from the son of the lord
That gave you the right to kill my soul...
I kept listening but Mike bothered me. I pulled out my ear phones. "Good huh, for a 16 year old. I couldn't believe that she was 16, she sounds kind of Andrea when she's singing but with a little more spunk."
"Yeah they're good. I hope the Yoko Ono doesn't happen to them."
"Having two guys and two girls in a band; it's gonna be hard for them not to have that. But I think the Gwen thing is gonna happen." He sat next to me.
"You think this girl is gonna go solo?"
"She will if the band can keep her."
"Yeah I guess. Every band can't be like us." The flight took hours and we finally arrived to New York.
In Alexia's point of view
"Bye Mom," I said. We were at the airport getting ready to go to New York.
"Remember to eat healthy, and don't do what you did last year."
"Mom, don't say that out loud. It's hard enough to be on the press about my weight." Recovering from anorexia and trying to keep it secret from the press was hard enough without my mom telling me it's not right.
"Yes, yes, I know. Bye honey."
"Bye Mom." Mark said bye to her too and then followed me. Jennie and Danny came in the plane too after saying goodbye to their friends. "And it's hard to say to the press that I'm not with a drummer of a band with the drummer hanging on my every word too Mark."
"Fine, I'll back off." He stood one step behind me for a minute and them he came back next to me. "Why did you become anorexic last year anyways, you never told us."
"And I never will Mark. Come on let's go." We got in the plane and flew to New York. Jennie let me barrow her mp3 player and let me listen to her Green Day songs. I listened to random songs and them I listened Homecoming and I got up to Rock and Roll Girlfriend.
I've got a rock and roll band
I've got a rock and roll life
I've got a rock and roll girlfriend
And another ex-wife...
I listened to the whole part of the song and remembered that Tre Cool sang that part. So I started looking for other songs from Tre. I got to a song called Like a Rat does Cheese and I listened to all of it and then just laughed. I gave the mp3 player back to Jennie and slept the rest of the way.
