Worry Rock, chapter 2
Mike's POV
I try to imagine what he's doing right now but the picture never comes out right. I hate myself for even knowing he's there but he needs to be there I guess. I haven't seen him in a while though. Adie is falling apart again and she thought the worst was over when we cornered him at my house. It's not though it's still bad and it's getting worst fast. Billie Joe's only been there a few days but we haven't been allowed to see him yet. Last time I asked they said only family can see him but they don't know that I'm his family just like Adie and the kids. I'll find a way though because I know he worry himself sick if I don't go see and let him know it's ok. They told Adie that he had Bipolar disorder and they were giving him meds. That scares me. I wonder what the fuck kind of excuse he gave them so he wouldn't have to the meds. I guess it didn't work though. I'm gonna see if Adie will let me tag along, maybe they won`t reconize my voice from the phone. I have to see him though he`s driving me crazy, no pun intended.
Adie's POV
Jakob actually showed up yesterday. He said he was watching MTV with a friend and they mentioned that a Green Day interview canceled because of a band member's undisclosed illness. I guess he knew it was his Dad. How could he have missed that I mean Mike works out and eats right and Tre' doesn't go to the doctor at all, something about them being quacks, so Tre'. Anyway I'm gonna bring Joey and him to see their father. Yeah he's in a psych ward, he is Bipolar they tell me. I'm trying to keep it together but it's hard, Jakob does at least 3 lines of cocaine a day, and Joey grades are falling because of all the stuff that`s happened and the fact that Stella's more important than school now. I wish things were more like how they used to be. I remember in 1997 things were great. Joey was real young and Jakob hadn't been born yet. Billie Joe had been sober a solid year when Nimrod came out and he seemed to be happy. Everyone in the band was still married then, we were young and just starting families, we were so content. I remember how quickly that changed. Just a year ago I thought Billie Joe and I were lucky because we were still together even though Mike and Tre' were divorced from their wives. It`s not like that anymore though, it`s changed just like everyone else.
Billie Joe's POV
I hate it here. The nurses are total bitches and the meds make me feel like a zombie. I stopped taking my meds so now I just let them give them to me and then I throw them a way. I meet with a shrink every day and dodge a thousand questions at a time. One time she asked me my Dad and I left the room without answering the question. Since I slammed the door when I left she called the nurse and said I was being agressive. I was locked in the quiet room for a whole night because of that little spat. Yesterday sucked because they found out I wasn`t taking my meds, they locked me in the quiet room again. The day before that sucked too because nothing happened, no TV, no guitar, no visiters at all. But today will be better because Mike, Adie, Tre and the kids are gonna visit me today.
