Bleed to Love Her, chapter 1
-St. Paul, Minnesota 2005-
December 22nd
Sayako woke up to a freezing cold blow of wind and snow in her face, and she went over to the window to shut the sliding screen. She groaned as she did her best to try and return to sleep, but since she figured it impossible, she got out of bed and went into her closet to put on a black t-shirt and jeans, then she went to her mirror and put on her favorite black eye-liner.
Her real name was Charlotte Nesser, but she hated being called that. Instead, she liked to be called Sayako, a name one of her friends gave her when she was very little.
"There...much better!" she said, straightening her long, newly dyed black hair. She went downstairs into the kitchen and opened the fridge, retrieving a can of mountain dew. The phone on the kitchen counter went off, and when she answered it, she heard the familiar voice of her sister, Adrienne.
"Hey, what are you doing calling this early?"
"I was hoping you wouldn't mind, but my husband and I, and our friends were coming up to your new house in Minnesota for Christmas this year," she said.
"You don't mind that we'll be staying until January 10th, do you?"
"That'll be great, and maybe I can meet your friends," Sayako took a sip of her soda.
"Oh, they're dying to meet you."
"Tell me a little about them..."
"Well," Adrienne started. "Tré Cool is a very funny guy, a little on the kinky side...but he's still a really good person. And Mike is a really kind person, and he's really easy to get along with."
"Cool...so how are things with you and Billie Joe?"
"Pretty good...but he's away most of the time, and I made sure that he stayed home for the holidays. And the boys are pretty good too, except Joey got into a little trouble at school..."
"Well, that's not good. What was it?"
"Inappropriate language..."
"Just like his father," Sayako smiled.
"Hey, shut your face, I'm here you know!" came the voice of Billie Joe Armstrong, her brother in-law, in the background.
"I know, I could hear you snoring when Adrienne called me up!"
"Fuck you..."
"You only wish..."
"EW! UCK! NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS!" Billie Joe screamed, leaving Sayako on the ground laughing.
"All right, you two, shut up! Well, we'll all see you on Christmas..."
"See you...Tell Tré and Mike that I said hi."
"Will do."
Sayako hung the phone up on the machine, and she took her soda into her room, and she turned on the t.v. to see if anything good was on. After flipping through channel after channel, the phone rang again.
"Honestly, what is with my sister?" she said. "Hello?"
"Hi, is this Sayako, Adrienne's sister?" came the voice of a guy.
"Yeah...who's this?"
"It's your lover..." said Billie Joe's voice, starting to crack up.
"Shut up, Billie...and why are you calling from...where the fuck are you calling from?"
"Mike's place...Me, him and Tré are just hanging out for the day."
"I see..."
"Hey Billie, quit flirting with Adrienne's sister, she's too hot for you!" came the voice of someone in the background.
"Fuck off, Tré!"
"Hi Tré," said Sayako.
"Well hey there, sexy," said Tré, taking the phone from Billie Joe.
"Are you always this horny?"
"He's horny 24/7, Sayako," said Billie in the background.
"Who's Sayako?" came a deep voice on the other phone.
"Adrienne's sister."
"Younger or older?"
"Her fraternal twin sister...only she's five minutes older..." she let out a heavy sigh.
"I know you better than Mike and Tré, and I didn't know that..." Billie Joe must have hit something, since Sayako heard an "OW!" come out of his mouth.
"So...Sayako...is that your real name?" asked the one with the kind of deep voice.
"No...but I prefer being called that, since it's better than my real name."
"What is it?"
"I know what it is!" said Billie.
"Don't you dare! You do remember what happened last time, don't you?"
"Yes ma'am," Billie grumbled.
"So I guess I'll never know..." said the guy.
"That is unless I decide when I'll tell you...by the way, who is this?"
"It's me, Mike."
Oh wow, he's got a nice voice, she thought. "Nice to meet you."
"Yeah, so um...oh shit, we got to go do some band practice."
"All right then...see you on Christmas!"
December 24th
"Hey Sayako, you look sexier than I imagined," said Tré, getting a slap on the back of the head when he was checking her out.
"Oh shut your face! Now, you guys can put your stuff in any of the rooms downstairs or upstairs except the room upstairs on the first right, that's my room."
After everyone put their stuff in some room they picked to stay in and after everyone had their fill of the Christmas dinner that she prepared, they met in the living room downstairs.
"Okay...so over there is Tré Cool, the hilarious perv," said Adrienne. "And the kind of tall guy over there is Mike."
Sayako was stunned when she saw him with Joey and Jakob. His beautiful sapphire eyes hypnotized her and she thought she would faint at the sight of him. "Wow, he's a good-lookin' guy!"
"You like him?" said Billie Joe, coming back down the stairs with a can of root beer.
"Well, his eyes are beautiful," she blushed.
"What now?" Mike said, looking over at her.
Holy shit, she's beautiful! He looked into her dark brown eyes, and he was kind of losing himself within them.
"Oh nothing...ah, crap!" she laughed as the young boys tackled her playfully.
"Hey auntie Saya," said Joey.
"Hey Joey...how have you been?"
"Good."
"Are you sure?"
"Well, I might have done something bad in school..."
"I heard about that, you shouldn't use that language until you're an adult."
"Yes auntie..." he and Jakob went over to Tré, who started telling jokes.
"They grow up so fast..."
"Yeah...well, it's starting to get a little late," Adrienne yawned, looking over at the clock on the wall that read 9:00 pm. "Come on, boys, time for bed!"
"Aw, do we have to?" said Jakob.
"Yes you do, mister!" Sayako said, beginning to tickle him. "I might turn in myself..."
After everyone went in their rooms, Sayako went upstairs to her room and she changed into a pair of black silk pyjamas, then she flopped down on her bed and fell asleep.
