Stolen Smile Returned, chapter 3
Roxie pov
Ring Ring Ring
Who rings me this time in the morning? I've got and hour left in bed!!
"Hello?"
"Hey sorry Roxie, its Brian"
"Hey Brian... what's wrong?"
"Nothing... I just need to ask you a favour..."
"Let me guess... Stacy wants me to open the Café because I am sexy beautiful and a great friend?"
"Yes please?!!"
"Yeah ... ok... . and drag her out of bed... she cant use Green Day as an excuse...that will be Toria's excuse for being late.
"Sure thing Roxie. And thanks. And one more thing?.... Do you think your life has changed after that concert?"
"Erm...not so far I still have tits and a sexy arse... . OH, I see what you mean... well give me a chance to function and I will answer your question later"
"Ha ha ok see you soon bye."
"Bye."
That Stacy...one of these days.
I got up and stared at my self in the mirror.
Mike.
For some reason he popped into my head. I looked at my hand. The one he grabbed a hold of. If only he had looked down and saw me.
He wouldn't recognise me anyway. Roxie get over it its been... . 15 years!
I walked into the kitchen and put the kettle on. I went into the cupboard and got out a fruit bar.
I made my self a coffee and decided to go out to this balcony thing I have.
I sat down and looked out to the town I've been living in for all my life. I was never able to move away from here. There were to many happy memories, after all the bad ones had faded away.
At The Café<b/>
"Man! These tables are ... gross. Toria! You were meant to clean them," I said to myself as the door to the café shut behind me.
I walked over to the counter and dumped my bag behind it. I then walked round the café and put all the chairs back on the floor.

"Can we please stop in this town? We know our way around and stuff we used to live here!" Tre shouted at the bus driver.
"Sorry can't. We have to go to the next town," The driver asked getting impatient.
"But why? We don't have a show there and our next show is in the next town after that in two days!" Mike said backing Tre.
"Yeah" Tre and I said together.
"Humph... Ok... but we have to be back on the bus by... 7 tomorrow morning. Is that fair now?" He asked.
I am starting to like this bus driver more every day.
"Brill thanks" Mike answered.
"We are going to get wasted" I said under my breath.
Toria Pov
"Afternoon" I said as I walked behind the counter to put my apron on.
"Hey" Roxie answered as she cleaned one of the tables.
"Wow I like what you've done with the walls"
I looked around and saw that Roxie had hanged two Green Day t-shirts up there and a Green Day poster from the concert.
"Tee hee thanks. Oh and by the way it was your turn to clean the tables last time... . what happened?" She asked as she placed a hand on her hip.
"Well... . there was a hot guy outside looking alone to I decided to close early early and went to see if he was ok. His girlfriend was away somewhere so I ended up giving advice." I said looking down at my feet.
"You and you hot guys" Roxie said as she went back to put the cloth away.
I laughed and went to serve some girls, obviously ditching school.
"Hey how can I help?" I asked as I got a pen and paper out.
"I'll have a small coke," One said.
"I'll have a coffee please," The other said.
"And I will have... wooh a chocolate fudge cake" The other said.
"Cool ok it will be here soon" I said as I then went over to go make them what they wanted.
"Hey Roxie get over here" I said as she came towards me,
"What?"
"In the concert last night ... was it me or did Mike actually hold your hand?" I asked just remembering what happened.
"Yeah he did but he didn't see me so don't worry... and don't think you got away with staring at Tre all night" Roxie said as she walked away with a tea and a coffee on her tray.
My jaw dropped.
Damn she saw. That means Stacy is going to know as well.
Mike Pov
"Look! Remember we went there once and Billie was so drunk he spewed all over this girl" Tre said pointing at a park.
"How can I forget?" I said starting to laugh.
Billie scowled. He never could remember because he was so drunk.
"Oh come on Bill it was funny... ph wait you can't remember" Tre said as he broke into fits of laughter.
"Well I can remember the slap she gave me the next day because I didn't say sorry!" Billie said punching Tre in the arm.
We all stopped laughing and carried on walking in silence.
I looked over and saw the park I used to go to all the time. I remember sitting there once with Roxie as she cried after I found out something I shouldn't had.
FLASHBACK
Where could Roxie be? Man this is so fucked up. God I feel so sorry for her.
"ROXIE!!" Man where could she be? Wait he park...
There was Roxie sitting on the grass. It looked like she had fallen down trying to run and cry at the same time. She was crying her eyes out.
"Roxie...hey Roxie its ok...no ones going to hurt you...I'm here now." Roxie turned round to face me. Her eyes were red and her hair was kinda messed up. I really don't like seeing her like this. I've never seen a girl cry so hard in her life.
"M-m-mike I'm s-s-sorry I d-d-dint te-e-ll you..." Then she turned round and tried to run away.
"ROXIE WAIT! Please I want to help you..." Roxie stopped and looked at me again.
"I don't think you can. Every time something good happens...it comes back up!" I went over to her and hugged her. She just cried into my T-shirt.
"Shh. Its ok everything is going to be fine. Your mum will see sense and your ex and Brodie will never hurt you whilst I'm with you, and that means never because you are going to be with me for life!" I hugger her tighter. Roxie cried harder.
We sat down but she didn't move. She just sat there in my lap crying. I don't think she's had a good cry in ages.
"Hey it's ok. Everything will be fine yeah?" I said kissing the top of her head.
"Things can only get better right?" Roxie asked me.
"Yeah that's right."
END
"Mike yooo hoo!" I came crashing back to earth as I saw Tre's hand waving in front of my face.
"Yeah sorry what?" I asked.
"We've decided to go into this pub is that ok?" Billie asked looking worried.
"Yup great come on lets get pissed," I said. We all cheered and walked into the bar.
Roxie pov
I sat down, as the café was empty for the first time today.
"I can't believe its 9 o'clock already" Stacy said.
Yes Stacy arrived and hour after Toria did.
"I know... I still cant believe we were at a Green Day concert this time yesterday" Toria said brushing the floor.
"Man... that was awesome!" Stacy said then jumping up and down.
I laughed and looked out the window and saw a couple kissing on a bench in the park.
"Hey Roxie come dance with my broom and me" Toria said. I looked at Toria and saw that she was dancing.
I laughed and decided to go dance. Stacy turned the music on to The Clash- Rock The Casbah.
Billie Pov
Man I am sooooooo drunk!
"I wants a spooooon full of thuger!" Tre sang as we walked out of the pub.
"Sugar dumb ass not thuger!" Mike said grabbing a hold of Tre's arm.
Mike didn't get so drunk in case we got wasted and we couldn't find the bus.
"Shur up" I said as I stumbled on to a wall.
"Oh god" Mike said as he grabbed my arm as well.
"Come on we'll go into this café," Mike said as he pointed at a really nice looking café.
"COFEEEEEEEEE!" I shouted as we started to walk again.
RoxiePov
"ROCK THE CASBAH" Toria shouted as we danced.
"Ok give me that brush before you kill someone" I said. Stacy laughed and danced with Toria instead.
I turned around and saw three men walk towards the door.
I turned back and then realised who they were.
I turned back slowly as the door opened.
"Mary P-o-p kins!" I looked and saw Tre and Billie singing.
"Mike" I whispered to my self.
"R-r-roxie?" Oh my god.
