"Is There A Gas Leak?", chapter 7
**Lindsey's POV**
Today's the day. Ugh, I don't want to do this but its S-t-a-r-b-u-c-k-s! I can still get coffee. I really feel like listening to Untitled right now.... Wonder where my Simple Plan is. I sill have no clue what to say. I could end up getting completely kicked off tour. And if I do god knows when I'll get to see Carl. This can't be right. My wildest dreams going insanely wrong.
"Hey, I knew You'd be up. We have like 2 hours. Come back to bed for a little bit." Carl said as he came in and started to tug at me to come with him.
"Ugh, I'm not in the mood right now, ok?" I said. I was still worried shitless.
"You, not in the mood?" Carl Exclaimed "Do you have a cold, fever, dizzy? LINDSEY LOOK AT ME HOW MANY FINGERS AM I HOLDING UP?!"
"No, no, and no. And You have 6 fingers up. 5 on that hand and one behind your back jackass." I said confidently. That goes to show you, guys are so predictable.
"Holy shit! How do you get that every time?" he asked
"I may be blonde, but I'm not an idiot." I answered honestly
"Oh yeah I remember, you were always in that gifted and talented crap weren't you? Aww, my little baby is a genius!" And then I smacked him.
"Ok, that was kinda kinky, but THAT HURT!" he said
"You deserved it!" I said. God he did, I didn't need anymore shit today.
"I'm sorry, I know your stressed about this, do you wanna go shop a little before we go to Starbucks?" he offered.
"Yeah, ok lets go." I answered.

**Carl's POV**
"Hey, do you think we should head to Starbucks now?" I asked after we had quite a few bags.
"Yeah, it will take a little while to walk over there." Lizzie answered
"You know, there's this yellow thing, called a cab." I said
"There's also this thing for fat people like me called exercise." she said
"Quit stalling for time, lets go." I answered and hailed a cab. We got in the cab and didn't say a word the whole time. We arrived and paid.
"Are you ready?" I asked her.
"Yeah, I don't care if they want me here or not, but I'm not leaving without some coffee." she said We walked in to a practically empty Starbucks and saw them sitting over in a corner dressed in the "international rockstar" look of sunglasses and hats.
**Lindsey's POV**
"Coffee first, then come clean, then get my ass kicked off tour." I thought as I went to the counter and ordered and went to sit over with Carl. They had made room for him, but I grabbed a chair and pulled it up obviously against Billie's wishes.
"Ok, here's the deal." I said after a few minutes of small talk. "I was a NyQuill addict but I pored it all out last night. I OD'ed when I was 15 and last night they thought I did it again. I was out for like how long?" I said and looked at Carl.
"Who the hell is 'they'?" Mike asked.
"Carl and that jackass." as I said as I gestured to the end of the table.
"WHAT? ME!" Jason exclaimed "I bet you don't even know who the hell I am!"
"Yeah, I do believe it or not, and over one." I said. And then everyone turned to look at Billie Joe. "Yeah, so I'm clean now, ya happy? If not kick my ass off tour if you want, I frankly don't give a shit anymore." I said staring at Billie along with everyone else.
"You were going to kick her off tour?!" Tre asked "You know that the tech have been quitting and you were going to get rid of her!?"
"I thought about it....." Billie answered
"Everybody shut up!" Mike said. "You," he said pointing at me "Are staying. And you," he said turning to face Billie Joe "Are going to tell us if you find out shit like this and tell us if your going to kick someone other than your own tech off. Then, tell us anyway." then he turned back to me "Anything else we need to know while were all here?"
"Ummm..... I don't think so.... O I can't eat McDonalds I have some weird burning reaction to it."
"It's called heartburn." Jason said.
"Heart burn of the skin? I don't think so." I said
"You were anorexic." Carl said
"I was not!" I said
"Ok, you weren't but you still don't eat enough." Carl said back
"Were you anorexic or not?" Tre asked
"Ugh! Yeah ok I was." I answered
"How bad was it?" Tre said
"Wasn't bad at all," I said when Carl cut me off
"She couldn't hardly keep anything down at all. Some nights I thought you'd snap in half." he said
"I could too. You and Emily Just over exaggerate."
"Are you now or not?" Billie finally spoke up. I hadn't heard a word from him all morning.
"No" I answered truthfully
"Well, I guess there's nothing else to say." Billie Joe said
"Well, it was random but fun." I said as we all got up to leave and go our separate ways until sound check. Tonight was the first concert, and who knew what the hell was going to happen.
