A loss, Then A Gain. (A Billie Joe story), chapter 8
Victoria woke up the next morning.
"Whoa, Billie Joe!" said Victoria when she saw him.
"Yeah?" asked Billie.
"What did we do last night?" she asked.
"Um, I think we got drunk..." said Billie.
"No, I mean, what are we doing in bed with each other?" asked Victoria.
"Oh god, I think we..." said Billie.
"We did?" asked Victoria.
"I think so." said Billie Joe.
"Oh god!" said Victoria, falling back on the bed.
"Man, we really must have been drunk." said Billie.
Victoria sat up.
"Hold on, what day is it?" she asked.
"Monday." said Billie.
"Oh shit! I've got to go to school!" said Victoria.
"Oh yeah, yesterday was the end of spring break." said Billie.
Victoria got ready, then Mike and Tre came in.
"Good morning, Mr. And Mrs. Armstrong!" Tre yelled.
"You guys really did it last night." said Mike.
Victoria started to leave. Tre blocked the doorway.
"Now where are we going?" he asked.
"School. See, I'm wearing my uniform and here's my bookbag." said Victoria.
"Come on, Tre. Let's eat breakfast." said Mike.
Mike and Tre went downstairs. Victoria started to leave, again.
"Victoria, wait." said Billie.
Victoria turned around.
"I'm really sorry about last night." said Billie.
"It was the greatest night of my life." said Victoria, smiling.
She kissed Billie on the cheek, then left for school.
*At Victoria's School, or Dellar High*
Victoria walked into homeroom. She sat down next to her friend, Skye.
"Great party last night. What did you do with Billie last night?" she asked.
Skye liked Green Day a little bit, but just their music. Not them.
"We did it." said Victoria.
Skye gasped.
"You did it with Billie Joe Armstrong?" she asked.
Victoria nodded.
Then the teacher came in.
"Quiet down! I SAID QUIET!" she screamed.
The teacher's name was Ms. Ostermain. She had been working at Dellar high for 30 years, and she hated kids.
"Now, Principal Shever has informed me of what's happening tomorrow. And tomorrow is special person day. You may bring up to three people. They may not be students. No parents, or any other relatives. Close friends of our parents, our your doctors may be fine. Now then, does everyone have their science textbooks?" she said.
Victoria smiled she knew exactly who to bring.
*At Victoria's house*
Victoria got home from school. She opened the door. Mike was watching tv, and Tre was on the couch, flipping through a magazine.
"Where's Billie Joe?" Victoria asked.
"Your loverboy's upstairs." said Tre.
Victoria walked upstairs to Billie's room.
"Hi." she said when she walked in.
"Hey." said Billie in a sad voice.
Victoria put her bookbag down and sat next to Billie.
"Dude, what's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing, it's just..." started Billie.
"It's just what?" asked Victoria.
"Adie didn't come by to pick up Joey and Jakob this morning, she was too busy with her new husband. Yeah, she's already married. And Joey and Jakob called him "daddy". That really hurt. And I think that he's already got her pregnant." said Billie.
Tears filled his dark green eyes.
"Man, she really has moved on." said Victoria.
Billie nodded.
"Joey and Jakob didn't even say "bye" this morning. They were so excited to see Adie's loverboy." he said.
"Let's go downstairs." said Victoria, touching Billie's hand.
They walked downstairs.
Tre was singing "Desensitized" as loud as he could. Mike was covering his ears.
"TRE! SHUT UP!" yelled Billie, laughing.
Tre stopped and glared at Billie.
"Thank you lord!" yelled Mike.
"Wow. I'm god." joked Billie.
He walked over and sat down next to Mike.
"Can I ask all 3 of you something?" asked Victoria.
"Sure." they said.
"Tomorrow is bring a special person day at school, and I was wondering if you guys would come. My principal said it was ok, and you guys can preform too! Just don't play any songs with cussing in them. So, would you guys come?" asked Victoria.
"Sure!" said Tre.
"Yeah!" said Mike.
"I dunno..." said Billie.
Victoria looked at him with her "puppy dog eyes".
Billie smiled.
"Alright. We'll come." said Billie.
"Hold on, Jason's outta town. Who's gonna be backup guitar?" asked Mike.
"I can do it!" said Victoria.
"You play?" asked Tre.
"Of course she plays! She plays better than you, Tre!" said Mike.
"Ok. Now that it's all settled, I'm really hungry. Do we have any pizza?" asked Billie.
Victoria and Mike laughed. Tre glared. He wanted that pizza.
*The next day*
They all got up early to practice before they left.
"Are there a lot of girls at your school?" Tre asked Victoria.
Victoria nodded.
"Don't worry. They'll be all over you. Literally." said Victoria.
Billie Joe and Mike laughed. Tre gave them all a perverted smile.
"Whoa, we'd better get ready. We got 30 minutes till we have to leave." said Mike.
They all went upstairs to get ready.
Victoria was ready first. She wore a black Green Day shirt, jeans, and so much eye-liner that she looked goth.
She walked downstairs and practiced. Billie Joe came down a few minutes later.
"Hey Victoria, do you think I should re-dye my hair black, or should I dye it blonde?" asked Billie.
"I dunno, surprise me." said Victoria.
She started to play "Fashion Victim" on her guitar.
"I am not a Fashion victim! I'll re-dye it black!" said Billie, running upstairs.
In about 10 minutes, Mike, Victoria and Billie were all downstairs, waiting for Tre.
"GET THE FUCK IN HERE! WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!" shouted Mike.
Tre came running down the stairs. Billie and Victoria fell in the floor, laughing.
"What the fuck did you do, Tre?" laughed Mike.
Tre had dyed his hair a bright color of hot pink.
"Watch this..." said Tre.
He spit on his hand, and rubbed it in his hair. It turned from pink to it's normal color.
"Something I learned in clown school." said Tre.
They all left for Victoria's school in a few minutes.
*At Victoria's School*
Someone had called MTV. They had their cameras ready to broadcast the whole thing, live.
They walked out on stage.
"HELLO CALIFORNIA!" screamed Billie.
He started to play "Holiday".
*An hour later*
Billie started to play the last song. Instead of "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)", Billie played "Whatsername".
Before he sung, he had a few words to say.
"Adrienne, if you're watching this, this is for you!" he yelled.
The audience "awwwed" at him.
Halfway through the song, Billie started to cry. Victoria went up next to him.
"I made a point to burn all of the photographs..." she sung.
The audience cheered.
Billie joined in. So did Mike. Tre just drummed and thought about all the girls cheering for him.
*Two hours later*
Victoria was in class. Everyone had their special person(s) with them. They all envied Victoria. Tre loved sitting around all the teenage girls.
"Hey Victoria?" Billie whispered.
"Yeah Billie?" Victoria whispered.
"Are there any teenies here?" asked Billie.
"Just be careful at recess." warned Victoria.
Billie gulped. He once had a really bad experience with a teenie.
"When's lunch? I'm kinda hungry." said Mike.
"In about one minute." said Victoria, looking at the clock.
Then the bell rang. When everyone was out, a group of girls gathered around Billie Joe.
"Hi Billie!" they said.
They tried to flirt with him, and one tried to kiss him.
"Back off!" said Victoria.
She walked up and blocked them from getting to Billie.
"Billie's my man." she said.
"Yeah right!" said a girl.
Billie put his arm around Victoria. The girls gasped.
"Sorry, girls. My heart is taken by another." he said.
The girls glared at Victoria and went to lunch.
"Oh girls!" yelled Tre, running after them.
Mike laughed and followed him.
"Does this mean we're together?" asked Victoria.
"Yeah." said Billie, hugging her.
"Lets go find Tre." said Victoria.
So they walked off to find Tre.
*Outside, with Tre and Mike*
Tre was having the time off his life. Girls were telling him how much they loved him, he could flirt without getting slapped in the face, and several of them were coming to his house later that night.
Billie and Victoria finally found them.
"Having a good time, Tre?" asked Billie.
"Oh yeah, Billie! I'm gettin' laid tonight!" Tre yelled.
The girls laughed.
"Hey, where's Mike?" asked Victoria.
"He's over there," said Tre, pointing to a large crowd of teenage girls.
"Let's go see if he's alright." said Billie.
Victoria nodded, and they walked over to the crowd.
"GUYS! HELP ME!" yelled Mike.
Several girls were holding him down and kissing him.
"Hey ladies!" yelled Billie.
The girls turned around to see Billie.
Billie ripped his shirt off.
"COME AND GET IT!" he yelled.
The girls left Mike and started chasing Billie around. Luckily, Billie was fast.
"You okay buddy?" asked Victoria, helping Mike up.
"I think so. My side hurts real bad..." said Mike, rubbing his side.
"Isn't that where you had surgery?" asked Victoria.
Mike nodded.
"Damn teenies." said Victoria.
Mike started laughing at Billie Joe. Victoria did too.
There was a crowd of about a 100 girls chasing after Billie Joe.
"Why'd he do that!?" yelled Tre, coming over to them.
All of the girls had left him and were chasing Billie Joe.
Billie ran towards Victoria. He ran into her and they fell down. The girls crowded around them.
"You're ours! We love you! You're mine!" they said.
Billie's heart was pounding. He had no idea what to do.
"He's mine!" said Victoria.
She grabbed Billie and kissed him on the lips.
"Ohhhhhh." they all said, then they started in on Mike and Tre.
"Hey girls!" yelled Tre.
They turned to look at him.
Tre gave a perverted smile and ripped of his shirt and his pants.
The girls screamed in delight. Tre ran for his life.
"I LIKE YOUR HELLO KITTY BOXERS, TRE!" yelled Mike.
They all three laughed their heads off.
"Whoa, Billie Joe!" said Victoria when she saw him.
"Yeah?" asked Billie.
"What did we do last night?" she asked.
"Um, I think we got drunk..." said Billie.
"No, I mean, what are we doing in bed with each other?" asked Victoria.
"Oh god, I think we..." said Billie.
"We did?" asked Victoria.
"I think so." said Billie Joe.
"Oh god!" said Victoria, falling back on the bed.
"Man, we really must have been drunk." said Billie.
Victoria sat up.
