Stolen Smile Returned, chapter 5
Billie Pov
I opened one eye to feel as if the whole sun was staring back at me. I closed it again and then realised that it wasn't that light yet. I opened both eyes slowly and sat up a little. I looked around and saw Tre sleeping on a girl's shoulder who looked strangely familiar and Mike sleeping with his head against the window and a girl sleeping on his shoulder...who looked familiar as well.
What the fuck happened last night?
Ok Billie go back to the beginning.
We were on the bus, then we went out to celebrate a really good show and then...then... oh yeah Mike dragged me and Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins?
Oh yeah...
Tre.
Yeah so he dragged me and Tre into a café and we saw three girls. Stacy Toria and Roxie...wait...those names ring a bell? I looked at the faces again and it clicked.
"Oh my fucking god! It's you guys!" I shouted as I pointed at all of the girls. They all woke up suddenly and looked around as if there was a fire. (Except little Mary Poppins here. I think she...I mean he had a rough night)
"What the...wait...it wasn't a dream?" Toria said looking down at a half dead Tre.
"Wow your still here, and yes it's us well done Billie. Thought you might have noticed by now," Stacy said as Roxie began to laugh a little. I closed my eyes in disbelief and then opened them again.
"Fuck me. How have you guys been I mean...wow...15 years," I managed to say after some time.
"We're all ok, thanks," Toria answered still looking at Tre. He looked abnormally green. Witch is never a good thing after a night of being completely wasted.
"Wow I am sooo tired," Mike said as he yawned.
"COFFEE!" Roxie shouted as she jumped off of her seat and ran towards the kitchen.
"Has she always been like that because I cant remember her being like that?" I asked watching Roxie suddenly run towards the kettle.
"Yeah she can be a morning person. Witch is a good thing because me and Toria aren't," Stacy said poking Tre.
"How many sugars?" Roxie shouted from the kitchen.
"Non thanks!" Mike and I shouted at the same time.
"Want froth and chocolate sprinkles?" she shouted back.
"PLEASE!" Mike and I shouted witch finally woke Tre from his death sleep.
Toria Pov
Billie and Mike shouted their answer back to Roxie and Tre shot awake as if he had just gotten shot up the arse.
"Welcome to Earth," I said as he looked up at me with wide eyes.
"Where have I seen you before?" He asked looking at me with narrow eyes now.
"I am Toria. Remember? Last night Mary Poppins?" Everyone laughed when I made the comment about Mrs. Poppins here and then Tre opened his mouth and tried to say something.
"What? Tre...are you ok?" I asked looking at him scared.
"He hasn't been ok for 32 years," Mike said as Stacy and Billie laughed. Tre's mouth was still open.
"Tre come on now spit it out," Mike said standing up and walking closer to Tre. Mike hit him on the arm a little and then...
BLEUCH!
Tre spewed all over me and Mike.
"TRE YOU DICK HEAD!" I shouted as I shot out of my seat and held my arms out.
"Shit! I didn't actually mean SPIT IT OUT" Mike shouted as he stepped back and looked down at his shoes and trousers.
I was covered in lumpy sick and it smelt really bad.
Tre then ran to the men's obviously about to throw up again.
"Coffee and wow...what happened here?" Roxie said coming back. I looked over at Billie and Stacy and saw that they were laughing so hard that their sides might bleed.
"Mary Poppins spewed," Mike said glaring at the men's. Roxie put the coffee's on the table and looked at us both and then laughed.
"Mike sick doesn't suit you and Toria...you are covered love," she said as she sat down and laughed until her eyes watered.
"You guys moved so fast," Stacy said pointing at us. I looked over at Mike and he didn't find this amusing at all. I sighed and walked to the lady's.
"Roxie come help me or die," I said as I was still walking. I heard Roxie jump up to her feet and follow me.
Tre Pov
I ran into the men's and shoved my head down the toilet as I spewed my guts out.
Man, I feel rough, but to see Toria...15 years. I feel so old. It's been to long. We promised we would stay in touch after we broke up but we never did. I cant believe we broke up anyway. Not saying that it was hard for me to get another girl with this face and a backside as gorgeous as ever, but, I don't know, she was different. She was a bit more like me. She didn't have to get used to me because in a way I was her, just I was her but I was male.
Oh no not more spewing please!
I shoved my head down the toilet again as I spewed practically everything that was left in my stomach.
Smells wonderful.
I flushed the toilet and leaned against the cubical wall, and took my jacket off. I heard the door open and saw Billie and Mike come in.
"Feeling better Mary?" Billie asked as he sat down next to me.
"Mary...who are you calling Mary, William?" I asked knowing what he was going on about but I have been dying to have an excuse to call him William. He hates it. Tee hee.
"Hey there was no need for that," Billie said as he hit me in the arm. I giggled and I felt sick again but nothing is going to come up because I've spewed everything out.
"Sorry Billie boy. Hey isn't it weird seeing them again?" I asked still thinking about Toria
"Yeah it is, but, man, they are doing well for them selves," Mike said as he sat down on the other side of me.
"What you mean...this is theirs?" I asked a little confused on what he meant.
"Oh yeah I forgot you were dead last night. Well Stacy decided to open a café and then she employed Toria and Roxie. Then Toria carried on with her drumming by becoming a drum teacher after work and Roxie went into photography and well most of her work is hanging on these walls. Oh and Stacy is married to a guy called...Brian or something like that anyway," Mike said as he got a piece of toilet paper and washed all of the sick off of his shoes and the end of his trousers. There wasn't much on his trousers just on his shoes.
Wow so Toria followed her dream of becoming some form of drummer. Awesome. And Stacy married. Not surprised she is really pretty. Amazed the other two aren't though.
"So Roxie and Toria aren't married?" Billie asked most probably thinking the same as me.
"Nope," Mike said as if he was a little happy. I felt weird when Mike said that they weren't married. I couldn't tell if it was my stomach or a feeling.
Oh shit not again.
I once again shoved my head down the toilet and spewed.
"I though everything was out," I goggled as I pulled my head out of the toilet. Billie laughed and rubbed my back and Mike flushed the toilet.
"Hey what's the time?" Mike asked all of a sudden.
Stacy Pov
I walked into the lady's toilets and saw Toria and Roxie trying to wash all of the sick off.
"Any hope?" I asked as I sat on the sink top.
"There's some. The sick is off my clothes just stink now that's all," Toria said as she gave up and jumped up to sit next to me. Roxie didn't sit up with us just leaned against the wall.
"I cant believe this mind," Toria said as he threw the toilet paper she was using in the bin.
"I know what you mean. It's as if we never actually left them. And we saw them in concert only two days ago. This is madness," I said as I leaned my head against the mirror. Roxie sighed and stared at her feet.
"I'm taking it you can't believe this either," Toria said as she jumped off and stood in front of Roxie.
"I don't know. I think I am about to wake up any second. I mean what are we meant to do? They bullied you for being a 'plastic'..." Roxie said as he pointed at me "..and for some reason you and Tre broke up..." Roxie said nodding her head towards Toria."...And Mike went off with another girl and now he has a kid. I mean, what are we meant to do? Because they are most probably going to go now on tour and we won't see them again and we'll say keep in touch and before we know it...it's been 15 years again," Roxie said obviously worked about al of this. I sighed remembering all of those years of being something I wasn't and getting bullied. But I turned into something I wanted to be and I thank Roxie for that.
"Hey. I know what you mean. And this time we will keep in touch. It's different now," I said trying to make Roxie feel better.
"We've grown up," Toria added giving Roxie a hug.
"Yeah but...Toria they're rock stars. Not your ordinary friendly bar mates you meet up with every Sunday," Roxie said. Toria stepped away from Roxie and slid down the door of one of the cubicles.
"You wish they never came don't you?" I asked Roxie jumping off of the sinks. Roxie looked at me and then Toria.
"I don't know," she whispered. I sighed and, man I feel sorry for her. This must be messing her head up so much.
"SHIT!" we all looked up and then looked at the door.
"Was that Mike shouting then?" Roxie asked as she ran out of the toilets.
I looked at Toria with a confused look.
"She wanted to see them. Especially him," Toria said answering Roxie's question for her. I smiled and then we both ran out of the toilets.
Mike Pov
I ran out of the toilets and grabbed my coat from where I feel asleep last night.
"SHIT!" I shouted as I stumbled over one of the chairs.
"What?" Roxie asked as she ran out of the toilets.
"We have an hour to get back to our tour bus. It's 6," I said as I got up from the floor and looked over at the men's.
"Guys hurry!" I shouted as I stood there waiting for them.
"Oh I see. Well where is he picking you up?" Roxie asked as she picked the chair up I tripped over.
"It's about half an hour walking," I answered.
"Well don't worry I'll drive you there. You don't want Toria driving because she'll crash and Stacy needs to open the café anyway because I opened it yesterday because SOMEONE was still in bed!" she shouted as she looked over at Stacy who had just joined us with Toria. Stacy turned red and laughed a little. And Toria poked her tongue out to the comment Roxie made about her driving.
"You sure? Cause if we start walking now we'll get there," I said.
"Do you really think Tre is going to be able to walk?" Roxie asked placing a hand on her hip. I smiled remembering doing that every time I played a joke on her in school.
"Fair point. Thanks Roxie," I said taking my mug of coffee that Roxie put on the table that had cooled down so I could practically drink it all in one go.
"S'orite. Is the coffee ok? I'm sure that's the way you like it?" Roxie said as she sat down and yawned.
"Yeah you remember well. Not much sleep last night," I said taking a seat opposite her. She shook her head and placed her arms on the table and then her head on them.
"Hey haven't you got a show...tonight somewhere?" Roxie asked popping her head up a little.
"Yeah that's why we had to be back at 7. We were lucky to get out last night because we knew this area more than the place we're playing at so we wanted to celebrate the show we did two days ago here," I answered then realising our tour t-shirts on the wall.
"Hey you went to the show. You've got the t-shirts," I said pointing at them.
"Yeah we did. We were right at the front. You held my hand and everything. We hadn't seen you in 15 years so it was amazing to see you guys play live. But this time it was a little more crowded." I laughed at Roxie's comment and then smiled at her.
She still wanted to see us play after all of these years. She didn't think we were a sell out when we signed to Reprise.
"Thanks for coming to see us. It means a lot to me," I told Roxie as I then took the last sip of my coffee.
"Pleasure. It kicked arse. Don't think I have so much fun in my life. Same with Toria Stacy and Brian," Roxie said snuggling her head back in her arms.
I had a funny feeling in my stomach as I saw Roxie snuggling her face in her arms and as I watched her steady breathing, when I had a stupidly amazing idea.
"Hey, why don't you come on our European tour? You don't have to come if you don't want to but that means we could catch up and you can see Europe and see our shows for free?" I asked getting a little exited. Roxie looked up at me with a stunned look.
"I don't know. I mean the café and my photography and I mean, I don't know you like I used to. When is the tour?" Roxie asked.
"We leave in about two months. Well at least consider it yeah?" I asked hoping she will say yes.
"I'll think over it," Roxie said obviously a little taken back. I smiled and then Billie and Tre finally clambered out of the toilets.
"Ok let's go," Billie said as he ran out of the café door.
"Well?" Tre said as he stood next to me.
"Roxie is giving us a lift," I said calmly. Roxie nodded and then went and grabbed her keys.
"Toria you coming? There's room for one more," Toria nodded and jumped up and down.
"I know I'll stay here and open up," Stacy said as he walked behind the counter. Roxie laughed and then we all left the café.
Roxie Pov
We all left the café except Stacy.
Mike offered me to go on the European tour with them. What do I say? Thanks of course. I can't just go. I mean the café my photography, and, Mike. This is too soon. Someone pinch me and tell me I'm dreaming before I go insane.
"Ok so where to?" I asked as we all clambered into the car.
"You take a left here and then carry on and then the very last right and straight on and he should be there," Billie said obviously the only one remembering where to actually go. I turned the car on and put my seatbelt on and we were off.
"Hey do you know why Toria and Tre split?" I asked Mike quietly.
"No. He's never said. It's a fucking mystery and I don't like it," Mike answered. I laughed and then turned left.
"Well it looks like their getting on pretty well," Mike said as he looked behind to see them hitting each other and laughing. Billie looked at Mike and pulled a sick face. Mike laughed and looked back to the front.
"Think they'll get together?" I asked him. Because I think they have a chance, but if I knew why they split up my mind just change.
"I don't know. I hope they do it's just, why did they split?" Mike whispered.
I nodded my head and soon my mind went back to the question Mike asked me.
Do I want to go on the Green Day European tour 2005?
Toria Pov
"Tre stop hitting me," I said as I poked him in the arm.
"Why? It's fun watch," Tre said as he hit me on the leg this time. I gave him a funny angry-ish look and poked my tongue out and pretended to be in a mood.
"Don't go in a weird mood. You don't look as cute," I turned around and face Tre as we both broke into fits of laughter.
"You two please. I have headache," Billie said a she turned to face us and, bless him he didn't look as if he had the best nights sleep.
"Sowie Billie willie," I said as I laughed as I said the word willie. Mike and Roxie laughed at the front at us and then Roxie decided to put some music on. The Clash White Riot came blasting on.
NOT AGAIN!
"Roxie can you please listen to anything else in your car please?" I begged as Billie groaned a little to the noise but was obviously enjoying the song.
"No it's my car!!" Roxie said as she poked her tongue out at me. I frowned and looked out the window.
"Not another moody woody," Tre said as he came closer to my face and dropped his lip.
"Careful you don't trip over that lip when we step out of the car," I said as I flicked his lip with my finger. Tre rolled his lip back to normal and smiled his cheeky grin.
I almost forgot how much fun I had with Tre.
Billie Pov
We were almost there to get onto our tour bus and I felt the car go slower. Roxie obviously knew she would be saying goodbye to us soon. She looked at me and smiled. Man I miss that smile. It felt weird when she left our lives for good. She was there. We could see her with our eyes but we couldn't see her. It broke Mike's heart to see her getting chatted up by guys but she didn't want any of that. Back then all she wanted was Mike but, she didn't want him. Her heart couldn't cope after loosing so much. Man, all of those nights where Mike would just cry him self to sleep.
Then Tre and Toria I don't know. That's just confusing. He never gave a reason. He just told us one day they were over and she was never spoken of again, but there was one night where Tre just broke into tears, witch was strange because he would always say he would get another girl to flirt with to make him self a little happier, but, he said Toria was just different and he couldn't explain it. He just had a feeling. What feeling...he wouldn't explain that either.
Roxie then finally stopped the car and I looked ahead and saw our bus there. Well got out of the car and walked towards the bus in silence. I knocked the door but nobody was there. Bus driver late. Typical.
"Suppose we will only have to wait around 10 minutes," Tre said as he sat down on a bench that was in front of the bus. I sat down next to him and Mike next to me, whilst the girls leaned against the bus.
"So, how did go to actually make the album because it rocks so much?" Roxie asked.
"I don't know. We just sat down one day and decided to say everything we wanted to tell each other emotionally. Like you know, you've said this for 15 years and I have hated it for 15 years that kinda stuff. Things you wouldn't say but then we just did," I said trying to explain.
"It was like our little counselling time. And it helped us really to open up more with lyrics and just come together and say look I've got this riff listen to it," Mike said clearing some things up. Roxie nodded and then the bus driver came.
"Sorry I'm late. Come on we have to get a move on," he said as he opened the doors and ran inside. We all just looked at him come and go really. It was kinda funny because he's kinda podgy and he just ran out of nowhere onto the bus.
Ok not that funny but still...funny.
"Wow ok. Well I suppose this is goodbye. Hey wait wait. I'll give you my e-mail and cell number so then we can arrange to meet up again ok," Tre demanded as he grabbed a pen from inside the bus and yanked Toria's hand.
"Yeah I'll give you mine as well," I said as I grabbed Toria's other arm and wrote my cell and e-mail.
"Mine?" Mike asked Roxie.
"Please and then I'll give you mine." So we all stood there for ages writing on each others hands.
Mike Pov
We all finished writing on each other when I noticed Tre had written on my hand.
"Tre I already have yours," I told him.
"Yeah I know," Tre said obviously 'knowing what he was doing'. I looked at him weird and laughed a little.
"Well goodbye. I'll send you an e-mail after our show, and e-mail me with your answer ok?" I asked Roxie referring to if she'd come on the European tour with us.
"Ok," Roxie whispered and then she hugged me and planted a kiss on my cheek.
"C ya soon," she said as she then stepped back and gave Billie a hug.
I looked over at Toria and saw that she was hugging Tre as well.
We all said our good byes and then we jumped on to the bus.
"New friends?" The bus driver asked.
"Nope old," Billie answered as he went straight tot the window to wave. We started to drive and well waved frantically. The girls waved back and they decided to run after the bus till the end of the road but before they stopped running Toria tripped over her shoe lasses and then Roxie fell over Toria and fell flat on her face. We all looked worried but then they both got up laughing.
"Wow," I said after they were out if sight.
"Yeah...wow," Tre and Billie said back. I sat down on my bed and lay down staring at the ceiling.
Please say yes Roxie. Please.
I opened one eye to feel as if the whole sun was staring back at me. I closed it again and then realised that it wasn't that light yet. I opened both eyes slowly and sat up a little. I looked around and saw Tre sleeping on a girl's shoulder who looked strangely familiar and Mike sleeping with his head against the window and a girl sleeping on his shoulder...who looked familiar as well.
What the fuck happened last night?
Ok Billie go back to the beginning.
We were on the bus, then we went out to celebrate a really good show and then...then... oh yeah Mike dragged me and Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins?
Oh yeah...

Yeah so he dragged me and Tre into a café and we saw three girls. Stacy Toria and Roxie...wait...those names ring a bell? I looked at the faces again and it clicked.

"What the...wait...it wasn't a dream?" Toria said looking down at a half dead Tre.
"Wow your still here, and yes it's us well done Billie. Thought you might have noticed by now," Stacy said as Roxie began to laugh a little. I closed my eyes in disbelief and then opened them again.
"Fuck me. How have you guys been I mean...wow...15 years," I managed to say after some time.

"Yeah we did. We were right at the front. You held my hand and everything. We hadn't seen you in 15 years so it was amazing to see you guys play live. But this time it was a little more crowded." I laughed at Roxie's comment and then smiled at her.
She still wanted to see us play after all of these years. She didn't think we were a sell out when we signed to Reprise.
"Thanks for coming to see us. It means a lot to me," I told Roxie as I then took the last sip of my coffee.
"Pleasure. It kicked arse. Don't think I have so much fun in my life. Same with Toria Stacy and Brian," Roxie said snuggling her head back in her arms.
I had a funny feeling in my stomach as I saw Roxie snuggling her face in her arms and as I watched her steady breathing, when I had a stupidly amazing idea.
"Hey, why don't you come on our European tour? You don't have to come if you don't want to but that means we could catch up and you can see Europe and see our shows for free?" I asked getting a little exited. Roxie looked up at me with a stunned look.
"I don't know. I mean the café and my photography and I mean, I don't know you like I used to. When is the tour?" Roxie asked.
"We leave in about two months. Well at least consider it yeah?" I asked hoping she will say yes.
"I'll think over it," Roxie said obviously a little taken back. I smiled and then Billie and Tre finally clambered out of the toilets.
"Ok let's go," Billie said as he ran out of the café door.
"Well?" Tre said as he stood next to me.
"Roxie is giving us a lift," I said calmly. Roxie nodded and then went and grabbed her keys.
"Toria you coming? There's room for one more," Toria nodded and jumped up and down.
"I know I'll stay here and open up," Stacy said as he walked behind the counter. Roxie laughed and then we all left the café.
Roxie Pov
We all left the café except Stacy.
Mike offered me to go on the European tour with them. What do I say? Thanks of course. I can't just go. I mean the café my photography, and, Mike. This is too soon. Someone pinch me and tell me I'm dreaming before I go insane.
"Ok so where to?" I asked as we all clambered into the car.
"You take a left here and then carry on and then the very last right and straight on and he should be there," Billie said obviously the only one remembering where to actually go. I turned the car on and put my seatbelt on and we were off.
"Hey do you know why Toria and Tre split?" I asked Mike quietly.
"No. He's never said. It's a fucking mystery and I don't like it," Mike answered. I laughed and then turned left.
"Well it looks like their getting on pretty well," Mike said as he looked behind to see them hitting each other and laughing. Billie looked at Mike and pulled a sick face. Mike laughed and looked back to the front.
"Think they'll get together?" I asked him. Because I think they have a chance, but if I knew why they split up my mind just change.
"I don't know. I hope they do it's just, why did they split?" Mike whispered.
I nodded my head and soon my mind went back to the question Mike asked me.
Do I want to go on the Green Day European tour 2005?

"Tre stop hitting me," I said as I poked him in the arm.
"Why? It's fun watch," Tre said as he hit me on the leg this time. I gave him a funny angry-ish look and poked my tongue out and pretended to be in a mood.
"Don't go in a weird mood. You don't look as cute," I turned around and face Tre as we both broke into fits of laughter.
"You two please. I have headache," Billie said a she turned to face us and, bless him he didn't look as if he had the best nights sleep.
"Sowie Billie willie," I said as I laughed as I said the word willie. Mike and Roxie laughed at the front at us and then Roxie decided to put some music on. The Clash White Riot came blasting on.
NOT AGAIN!
"Roxie can you please listen to anything else in your car please?" I begged as Billie groaned a little to the noise but was obviously enjoying the song.
"No it's my car!!" Roxie said as she poked her tongue out at me. I frowned and looked out the window.
"Not another moody woody," Tre said as he came closer to my face and dropped his lip.
"Careful you don't trip over that lip when we step out of the car," I said as I flicked his lip with my finger. Tre rolled his lip back to normal and smiled his cheeky grin.
I almost forgot how much fun I had with Tre.

We were almost there to get onto our tour bus and I felt the car go slower. Roxie obviously knew she would be saying goodbye to us soon. She looked at me and smiled. Man I miss that smile. It felt weird when she left our lives for good. She was there. We could see her with our eyes but we couldn't see her. It broke Mike's heart to see her getting chatted up by guys but she didn't want any of that. Back then all she wanted was Mike but, she didn't want him. Her heart couldn't cope after loosing so much. Man, all of those nights where Mike would just cry him self to sleep.
Then Tre and Toria I don't know. That's just confusing. He never gave a reason. He just told us one day they were over and she was never spoken of again, but there was one night where Tre just broke into tears, witch was strange because he would always say he would get another girl to flirt with to make him self a little happier, but, he said Toria was just different and he couldn't explain it. He just had a feeling. What feeling...he wouldn't explain that either.
Roxie then finally stopped the car and I looked ahead and saw our bus there. Well got out of the car and walked towards the bus in silence. I knocked the door but nobody was there. Bus driver late. Typical.
"Suppose we will only have to wait around 10 minutes," Tre said as he sat down on a bench that was in front of the bus. I sat down next to him and Mike next to me, whilst the girls leaned against the bus.
"So, how did go to actually make the album because it rocks so much?" Roxie asked.
"I don't know. We just sat down one day and decided to say everything we wanted to tell each other emotionally. Like you know, you've said this for 15 years and I have hated it for 15 years that kinda stuff. Things you wouldn't say but then we just did," I said trying to explain.
"It was like our little counselling time. And it helped us really to open up more with lyrics and just come together and say look I've got this riff listen to it," Mike said clearing some things up. Roxie nodded and then the bus driver came.
"Sorry I'm late. Come on we have to get a move on," he said as he opened the doors and ran inside. We all just looked at him come and go really. It was kinda funny because he's kinda podgy and he just ran out of nowhere onto the bus.
Ok not that funny but still...funny.
"Wow ok. Well I suppose this is goodbye. Hey wait wait. I'll give you my e-mail and cell number so then we can arrange to meet up again ok," Tre demanded as he grabbed a pen from inside the bus and yanked Toria's hand.
"Yeah I'll give you mine as well," I said as I grabbed Toria's other arm and wrote my cell and e-mail.
"Mine?" Mike asked Roxie.
"Please and then I'll give you mine." So we all stood there for ages writing on each others hands.
Mike Pov
We all finished writing on each other when I noticed Tre had written on my hand.
"Tre I already have yours," I told him.
"Yeah I know," Tre said obviously 'knowing what he was doing'. I looked at him weird and laughed a little.
"Well goodbye. I'll send you an e-mail after our show, and e-mail me with your answer ok?" I asked Roxie referring to if she'd come on the European tour with us.
"Ok," Roxie whispered and then she hugged me and planted a kiss on my cheek.
"C ya soon," she said as she then stepped back and gave Billie a hug.
I looked over at Toria and saw that she was hugging Tre as well.
We all said our good byes and then we jumped on to the bus.
"New friends?" The bus driver asked.
"Nope old," Billie answered as he went straight tot the window to wave. We started to drive and well waved frantically. The girls waved back and they decided to run after the bus till the end of the road but before they stopped running Toria tripped over her shoe lasses and then Roxie fell over Toria and fell flat on her face. We all looked worried but then they both got up laughing.
"Wow," I said after they were out if sight.
"Yeah...wow," Tre and Billie said back. I sat down on my bed and lay down staring at the ceiling.
Please say yes Roxie. Please.
