One Last Chance, chapter 3
Billie Joe precariously got to his feet and took a few wobbly steps with Adrienne (miss Nesser) holding him steady. He got out the bed and walked over to his guitar, which they had bought in. He strummed it, desperately trying to remember a song. His mind flicked back to the draw with all the pictures and remembered that there had been a big sign in the middle saying "Minority". He started to play.
"I want to be the minority.
I don't need you authority.
Down with the moral majority.
'Cause I Wanna be the minority.
I pledge allegiance
To the underworld
One nation Underdog..." He stopped singing and looked at the expression of delight on Adrienne's face.
"My favourite song. Weird, how it happens to be the first you play after you regain consciousness. It's as if you can read my thoughts."
Billie Joe smiled and kept playing the tune but not singing. "Do you listen to our music then?"
"All the time. I haven't gone a single day so far this year without listening to one of your songs all the way through," she smiled and edged nearer to him on the seat they were on. "Um... can I...err...have a go please?" Billie Joe nodded and handed the guitar to her. Her face lit up with joy as she held the guitar in her hand. She let her fingers wander over the guitar up the neck of it, which was touching Billie Joe's chest, but her hand slipped off the guitar and onto Billie Joe. He looked down but didn't push her away; instead he leaned down and kissed her on the lips softly. She kissed back and wrapped her arms around him. She didn't know if she should stop or not. She knew that if she carried on it would bring her so much joy to be near the man she fantasised about every day but it would also bring misery if the press found out. In the end she didn't need to make the decision because she was pulled away from him by another person.
"Get away from my boyfriend you bitch!" came the ear piercing voice of the person who had pulled her away from Billie Joe. "He's mine NOT yours you bloody prostitute."
"That's rich!" Adrienne announced calmly.
"Yes I am. Unlike you filthy commoner." Adrienne opened her mouth but didn't say a word. "Oh have you lost your breath from working in the mines all day?"
Adrienne looked at her confused.
"Is that all a joke or are you actually this stupid?" Now it was the woman's time to open her mouth but not speak. "What's wrong? Have you been fucking so many desperate men you're too exhausted to speak?!" Adrienne yelled this last sentence as she rose out her seat.
"Simone. Adrienne. Calm down. I'm ill and this really won't do me any good. Now sit down and chill out." He took Adrienne by the hand and led her to the bed to sit besides him and pushed Simone down on to the most uncomfortable seat in the room.
But she wasn't giving up that easily and she went and squeezed in between Billie Joe and Adrienne. She place her hand on his leg and pushed Adrienne away, slowly but surly she moved her hand further up his body until it was at the top of his trouser and then moved it back down to get in side of him but he said, "I'm going to go get a muffin from the canteen." He stood up and led Adrienne out with him. "I know you're on a diet Simone, so I won't make you come."
"I want to be the minority.
I don't need you authority.
Down with the moral majority.
