Billie Joe, How Could You?!?, chapter 8
*flash back*
"Hey fucker. Stop kissing her," said a voice. Cassie broke away from Billie's embrace only to find Ronny standing there, tapping his foot.
*out of flash back*
Billie glared at Ronny. He clenched his fists. Ronny did the same. Cassie took nervous glances at both of them.
"Ronny, please, back off. Billie didn't do anything to you," she said, her voice shaking.
"Yes, he has. He's dating my sister."
"Step-sister. And why is that a problem?" Cassie said, she was getting angry. Her words were still slurring.
"He's some fucked up punk rocker who's involved in drugs. And now you're involved in them too!"
"He not just some punk rocker. He's the best fucking punk rocker in the whole fucking world! And stop being so damn protective! Besides I decided to do drugs and drink by myself!" Cassie yelled slapping Ronny across the face. She soon regretted that because Ronny retaliated and threw her to the ground. She looked up at him, tears in her eyes. Billie looked at Cassie and then tackled Ronny. He began punching him in the stomach and face. Ronny pushed him off. A bunch of kids turned to Ronny, Cassie, and Billie. They started to scream, "Fight! Fight!" Tre had stumbled outside. He went over and pushed through the crowd to find the scuffle. He tried to pull them a part, but was too wasted to do anything. He was pushed to the side also. Upstairs, Mike could hear the screaming outside. He got up and looked out the window. His head was pounding so badly, and the yelling was making it worse. His eyes focused on the fight. He soon found himself downstairs and outside aiding Tre. Tre was already starting to pry apart Billie and Ronny. Mike grabbed Ronny and pulled him back, while Tre grabbed Billie and did the same with him.
"Let me at 'em! Let me at that fucked up piece of shit!" Ronny yelled trying to get away from Mike. Billie was struggling to get away also. He started to drag Tre forward since he was stronger, but Cassie got in his way.
"Billie calm down," she said with tears in her eyes. Billie sighed and nodded. Tre let go of him. Billie walked back towards his house. Cassie took a look at Ronny and then followed Billie, who went to go tend to his wounds. Ronny jerked away from Mike and walked back to his house. There was no way Cassie was getting away with this.
*Billie's POV*
I walked into my bathroom to see the damage that was inflicted. My lip and nose were bleeding. A small bruise was forming around my right eye. Cassie walked up behind me as I pressed a towel to my nose. She grabbed another towel and wiped the blood away from my lip.
"Sorry," she whispered.
"For what?" I asked. My voice was muffled by the towel covering half of my face.
"For Ronny." she said. I moved the towels away and smiled.
"It's alright Hun. I can see where he's coming from. I mean you were stoned tonight." I said with a slight laugh. She giggled and continued to wipe off my lip, which didn't want to stop bleeding. She looked into my eyes, noticing the bruise. She cringed at the sight.
"My poor Billie," she whispered poking the bruise. I winced and jerked away, causing her to go into a fit of giggles. I shook my head and rolled my eyes. Mike had walked up behind me.
"Hey, what damage did he do to our famous Billie," he said jokingly. I turned to face him, revealing my black eye, bloody lip, and busted nose. He cringed at the sight.
"Musht hurwt," a slurring Tre said walking next to Mike.
"No. I thought it felt good," I said sarcastically. Tre sighed and stumbled off. He soon passed out on my couch.
"I'm heading back upstairs," Mike said before walking off. Cassie put down the toilet seat and sat on it. She stared at me, as I wiped my nose abruptly. About 10 minutes later the bleeding had stopped. I glanced over to find Cassie sleeping on my toilet seat. I laughed and cautiously picked her up. I carried her into my room with out waking her up, and placed her on the bed. She sprawled out across my bed, leaving no room for me. I sighed and grabbed a sleeping bag. I laid it out next to the bed and fell asleep.
*Morning and Cassie's POV*
I woke up with a pounding head ache. Thoughts of last night poured through my mind. "Oh shit. Where am I?" I asked myself quietly sitting up. I looked around the room. There were a lot more posters of The Clash and The Misfits all over the walls than I had ever owned. The floor was cluttered with dirty clothes, guitar picks, and 'other' things. I realized it was Billie's room. There was a muffled snoring coming from the floor. I looked over the edge of the bed to find Billie. He was half under his bed and half not. A pillow was over his face. He was wrapped inside a sleeping bag. I giggled and sighed. Soon I got off of his bed and went across the hall to find some aspirin. I took out two tablets and filled a glass of water. I drank the tablets with the water and walked back into Billie's room. His guitar was in the corner of the room. I went over and ran my fingers over the stickers on it. I picked it up and played a song I had written a few years back. Billie had woken up. He got up and watched me play. He stared and smiled. I looked up and smiled back.
"That was beautiful," he said, a little uneasy.
"Thanks. Sorry. I know I shouldn't of played Blue with out asking you," I said placing Blue back on its stand.
"It's okay. I know its in good hands," he said flashing me a smile. I got up and went over to Billie who was sitting on the bed. I sat on his lap and began kissing his lips. Each kiss became more passionate and more deeper. His tongue found an entrance into my mouth. I felt his tongue circle mine. I pushed him back on the bed. His hands were tangled in my hair. Mike and Tre walked into his room to find us making out.
"Ew! Get a room!" Tre yelled snickering.
"We have one, but you just happen to be in it," I said breaking away from Billie's kiss. He tilted his head back and looked at his band mates.
"You can go anytime now," he said.
"We know, but we don't wanna," Tre said jumping onto the bed next to me. I sadly got off of Billie. He sighed and sat up.
"Dog pile!" Mike yelled as he jumped on Billie, knocking him into me. We fell back on bed. Tre sat on top of Mike.
"I can't breath," I whined since I was on the bottom.
"You guys are comfy," Tre said smiling.
"Get off you weigh a ton!" Mike yelled.
"Well, I never," Tre said getting up. He stormed off like a preppy little girl. Mike sighed and followed. Billie got off of me and stretched. I sighed and got up.
"I'm hungry," I whined walking into the hallway. Billie followed me downstairs and we walked into the kitchen. Tre was sitting in the corner pretending to cry because of what Mike said.
"I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean it. I really love your weight. Besides its all muscle," he said trying not to crack up. Tre giggled and hugged Mike.
"Woah. I never knew you swung that way, Mike," I said giggling. He blushed and stood up.
*author's POV*
"Hey lets go to star bucks," Mike said walking out the door. The rest followed him. They walked a couple blocks until starbucks came into sight.
"Race ya!" Mike yelled. He ran towards the building, with Billie and Cassie close behind. Tre was the last to reach the building. They walked in and up to the counter, out of breath.
"One coffee regular please," Mike said, "Do you guys want anything?"
"A frappichino," Cassie and Billie said in unison.
"Orange Mocha Frapichino!," Tre yelled.
"Did you get that?" Mike asked the person at the desk. He nodded and went to get the coffees. Mike took out his wallet.
"Here you go," the guy said handing them their coffee. Cassie grabbed hers and walked outside. Billie did the same. Mike and Tre stayed behind to pay for the coffee.
"Hey let's go to Gilman and see who's playing," Billie said as Mike and Tre walked outside. They nodded and started to walk towards Gilman which wasn't too far away.
"Nice day out," Cassie said taking a sip of her coffee.
"Yeah, I guess," Billie said kicking a rock around. Tre came up behind them and put his arms around both Billie and Cassie.
"So did you guys have fun last night?" Tre asked wiggling his eyebrows up and down.
"You you count sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag, then yes," Billie said taking a sip of coffee.
"Aw so you didn't do her?" Tre asked.
"Stop pushing the subject," Cassie said giggling. She started to skip towards The Gilman, which had same into sight. Tre started to copy her. She giggled and kept on skipping with Tre behind her. Billie narrowed his eyes. He clenched his fists.
"Woah Bill, what's wrong?" Mike asked.
"Nothing," Billie said calming down a bit. He felt that Tre was trying to take Cassie away from him. he sighed and pushed the thought out of his mind.
"Hey man, I'm sorry for kissing Cass," Mike said randomly, as he just remembered what happened for last night.
"It's ok. You were drunk and high. I can't blame you for that," Billie said through gritted teeth. He didn't want to be reminded of that.
"I didn't enjoy it," Mike said randomly.
"That's good to know," Billie said calming down. He started to run towards Cassie. He ran up behind her and picked her up. She giggled as he carried her into the Gilman. A local band was playing.
"Hey fucker. Stop kissing her," said a voice. Cassie broke away from Billie's embrace only to find Ronny standing there, tapping his foot.
*out of flash back*
Billie glared at Ronny. He clenched his fists. Ronny did the same. Cassie took nervous glances at both of them.

They started to scream, "Fight! Fight!" Tre had stumbled outside. He went over and pushed through the crowd to find the scuffle. He tried to pull them a part, but was too wasted to do anything.
