Billie Joe, How Could You?!?, chapter 7
*After the concert*
Billie took a look out into the crowd. There was at least 80 people there. He blew kisses to people in the back and touched hands with people in the front. He touched a few screaming girls in the front. Among them was Cassie. He grabbed her hand and pulled her up on stage. She was a little surprised, but went up on stage anyway. She smiled and waved at the crowd before kissing Billie. A few gasps were heard in the crowd. Cassie escaped from Billie's embrace and disappeared back stage. Tre played a small drum roll before getting up and crowd surfing. Billie and Mike also did the same. Cassie had came back out and watched the band get surfed around the room. She giggled and shook her head. Billie was the first to make back to the stage. He waited for Tre and Mike to make it back. Soon Mike was back, and then Tre. The band took their final bow, along with Cassie and disappeared back stage. She sat down on a ragged couch that was back stage. Tre went to a small fridge and got a few beers. He handed one to Billie and Mike, and then opened one up for himself. Cassie looked at the members with a surprised look.
"You guys drink?"
"Yeah, we smoke too, but don't tell anyone about that," Tre said placing a finger to his lips.
"It's a bad habit," Billie said taking a sip of his beer.
"Are you into any of that stuff?" Mike asked.
"I've smoked before and drank once, but my mom caught me."
"Well, your mom isn't here," Tre said getting Cassie a beer. She took it and looked at for a moment. She took a small sip and sighed.
"If I come home stoned it's your fault," Cassie said pointing at Tre. He shrugged and went for another beer. After about an hour Tre had had 5 beers, Billie 3, Mike 2, and Cassie 3. Her words were starting to slur a bit. Billie sighed and got up and stretched. He motioned for the band to follow him on stage to get their instruments. There was a few misfit teens walking around the stadium. They started jumping up and down chanting Green Day when Billie and the band walked out to get their instruments. Billie sighed and grabbed his guitar. Tre staggered over to his drums and started to take it apart. Mike went to get a cart to put the amps and drums on.
"Why didn't we think of this earlier?" he asked loading the amps on the cart. Tre shrugged as he picked up his kick drum. He placed it on top of an amp. Billie went to help Tre load up his drums after putting hi guitar backstage. Cassie came out with blue slung over her back, she picked up Mike's bass. She walked over and waited for the guys to get done packing. Once they were finished they hulled the cart outside and waited for Mike's mom to pull up. Billie walked up behind Cassie and laced his arms around her waist. She looked back at him and smiled. He returned it before kissing her.
*Tre's POV*
I stood there and watched them kiss. I mean, what else could I do. They were a couple and nothing could split them up. I loved Cassie, but she was Billie's. I couldn't take her from him. They finally stopped kissing. Cassie was giggling. God, I loved her giggle. I loved everything about her.
"Tre snap out of it," Mike said waving his hand in front of my face. I shook my head and sighed as Mike's mom pulled in the drive. She parked the car and waited. I started to drag the cart to the car. Mike opened the trunk door before we started to load everything up. Billie walked past me to help. I glared at him before putting my kick drum in the car. Cassie had placed the guitars in the trunk before getting inside. I watched as Billie joined her. I sighed and got in next. Mike got into the front seat. His mom began to drive off. A half an hour later we stopped at my house. Mike, Billie, Cassie, and I got out. We began to unload the drums.
"Why are you helping?" I asked Cassie.
"You guys were struggling earlier so I thought you need help," she said lifting up a bass drum. Billie came over to help her. They began to walk towards my house. I got out my keys and ran to the front door. Slowly I opened the door and walked inside. I was followed by the struggling Billie and Cassie. I ran to the basement door and opened it for them. They began to walk downstairs as I went to get the rest of my drums. Mike had came in with the cymbals. After about 15 minutes my drum set was in the house and Billie, Mike and Cassie were heading out.
"See you later Tre!" Cassie yelled as she ran to the car. Billie and Mike followed. They hopped into the car and drove off.
*Billie's POV*
Cassie and I were in the back, as usual. We were talking as Mike and his mom listened in on our conversation. Every once in a while we heard a chuckle from Mike. I shrugged it off and kept talking to Cassie. I knew we had a relationship, and I think she knew it too.
"So you want to come over tonight?" I asked.
"I would love to," Cassie said with a smile.
"I would too!" Mike blurted out laughing. I sighed and shook my head.
"Fine you can come Mikey," I said before looking at Cassie. She had a kind of hurt look in her eyes. I looked at her to try and figure out why, then it dawned on me. She wanted to be alone with me.
"I'm sorry Cassie, but he's coming over," I whispered so Mike wouldn't hear. She nodded and sighed. I smiled as did she. We arrived at my house. Mike got out and ran towards the door. Cassie and I followed.
"Race ya!" Cassie yelled running away.
*Cassie's POV*
I started to run for the front door. Billie's footsteps were pounding behind me. He grabbed my arm and ran in front.
"Hey you can't cheat!" I yelled stopping. He kept on running to the door. He got out his keys and unlocked the door. We walked inside.
"I'm home!?" Billie yelled. There was no answer.
"Yes! No ones home! Let's throw a party!" Billie said after a few minutes. Mike ran over to the phone and started dialing numbers.
"Party at Billie's" he said to every kid he called. He ended up calling 50-60 people.
"They'll be over in an hour." Mike said as he ran out the door.
"Where are you going?" I yelled after him.
"To get beer and cigarettes!" He yelled running down the drive way. Billie and I followed. We all ran to the 7/11 and walked inside. I went strait to the beers as Mike went for the cigarettes. Billie made a distraction so we could sneak out the door. We ran back towards Billie's home. About a block away I stopped and waited for Billie. Mike had at least 50 packs of cigarettes stuffed in his shirt and down his pants since he didn't have any pockets. I laughed as he started to dig some out.
"The boxes were poking my balls," He said throwing 2 boxes at me.
"I thought you didn't have any," I said laughing.
"Wait let me check," Mike said sticking his hand down his pants. I started to laugh harder as Billie came up behind me. Some how he managed to sneak out two 12 packs. He raised an eyebrow at Mike.
"Yeah, I have balls," Mike said after a while. Billie and I shook our heads and began walking back to his house. Mike went and picked up the 2 boxes he threw at me and followed. When we arrived Tre was already waiting at the door. He had a plastic bag in his hands.
"What's in there?" I asked.
"20 Single bottles of beer, joints, and cigs." he said.
"Yes, finally some one brought joints," Billie said as he walked inside. He placed the beers in the fridge. Tre and I did the same. Mike started to lay the cigarettes on the table. Tre laid out the joints and cigarettes also.
"Hey I'll be right back," I said running over to my house. I got my stereo system and a few CD's. They were mostly of The Misfits and other bands like that. I walked back over to Billie's house and hooked the stereo up outside. I put in one of my Cd's and turned the volume up. Billie walked outside with a joint sticking out of the corner of his mouth. He bobbed his head to the music. Tre came out with a beer in his hand and a joint his mouth as well. Mike just had a beer.
"Get me a beer. Please," I said whining. Billie sighed and walked back inside. He came out with a beer and handed it to me.
"Thank you sir," I said taking a sip of the beer.
"Welcome ma'am," he said before taking a drag of his joint.
*Nobody's POV*
Tre was trying to smoke a joint and drink beer at the same time. He only ended up pouring it all over himself. Mike, Billie and Cassie were cracking up. About 10 minutes later people started to arrive at the party. Billie had went inside to lay out some food. Everybody crowded outside. They were jumping up and down bobbing their heads to the music. At about 10:00, Cassie had lit up a joint. It was the first time she had ever smoked one. She took a drag of it and coughed, but she loved the feeling she was getting. She took another drag. Billie walked up behind her.
"Take it easy on the joints. It feels good when you're smoking them, but it can be hell afterwards," he said drinking a beer. Cassie sighed before taking another drag. She really liked the feeling.
"Hey Billie, can you get me a beer?" Cassie said as she took one last drag. She threw the bud out into the street. Billie sighed and nodded. He walked into his house to find Tre laid out on the table pouring beer down his throat. A few people were standing around him shouting, "Chug! Chug! Chug!" Billie sighed and grabbed a beer from the fridge he ran it out to Cassie who had another joint.
"I told you to take it easy on those," He said handing her the beer.
"This is only my second one," she said taking another drag. The she smoked the more it felt like her troubles were melting away. She took a swig of the beer. Mike stumbled down the front steps. He had one beer too many. He stumbled back towards Billie and Cassie. He fell into Cassie causing her to drop her beer and joint.
"Shit!" she screamed as she fell back with Mike on top of her. Billie stared at Mike who was slurring his words too badly that no one could understand him. Mike looked down at Cassie. He started to come closer to her. She stared at him in shock, not knowing what to do. He began to kiss her. Billie stood there, frozen. After a minute of watching Mike, he pulled him off his girlfriend. Cassie laid there shocked. She didn't know what to do. She sat up and wiped off her mouth.
"Ew. He frenched me," she whispered standing up. She walked into the house to get another beer.
"What the fuck are you doing, you FUCKED UP MOTHER FUCKER?!?" Billie yelled at Mike shaking him. Mike's face turned a light shade of green. Billie let go of Mike and got out of the way just in time. Mike started to heave up all of the beer he had drunk. Billie rubbed his back.
"You alright?" he asked. Mike nodded before heaving up more beer. 'Cassie got lucky. He could of thrown up in her mouth, ' Billie thought still rubbing Mike's back. Cassie came walking back outside. She looked at Mike with a disgusted look and walked back over to them.
"You okay?" she asked. Mike nodded. He wiped the vomit from his house as he staggered towards the house. Billie caught up to Mike and put his arm around his shoulder. He walked him towards the bathroom to wash out his mouth. Mike stood there in front of the sink. He washed his face off and then washed out his mouth. He started rubbing his temples as the pounding came. Billie sighed and got some Advil and a small glass with water.
"Thanks," Mike slurred a bit before taking the Advil and water. He drank the Advil with the water and stumbled out of the bathroom. He walked up to the spare bedroom and laid on the bed. Soon he had passed out. Billie went over to the phone and dialed Mike's number. His mom answered.
"Hey Mrs. Pritchard is it okay if Mike stays over?" Billie asked with a sigh.
"Yeah sure," she said before hanging up the phone. Billie covered Mike up and walked back downstairs. He found Tre on the floor passed out as well.
"Wake up Fucker," he said nudging Tre in the side with his foot. Tre woke up and sat up.
"I love your whore, Cassie," Tre said slurring. He was too drunk to know what he was saying. Billie glared at him before going to find Cassie. She was outside in a mosh pit over a CD player. She was totally wasted. Billie chuckled and joined the mosh pit. He bumped into Cassie and knocked her out of the mosh. She giggled and staggered a bit before standing straight. Billie walked over and groped her. She giggled again and kissed him. Each kiss getting deeper and deeper. Her hands were tangled in his reddish, brown hair.
"Hey fucker. Stop kissing her," said a voice. Cassie broke away from Billie's embrace only to find Ronny standing there, tapping his foot.
Billie took a look out into the crowd. There was at least 80 people there. He blew kisses to people in the back and touched hands with people in the front.
