Stolen Smile Returned, chapter 7
After The Show
Billie Pov
"That was awesome guys!" I shouted as we all ran backstage.
"AS ALWAYS" Tre shouted as he collapsed on the sofa as he started throwing his drumsticks in the air. Mike ran up to Stella and gave her a big hug.
"Hey honey" I turned around and saw my wife's face smiling back at me.
"Glad to see you" I said as I wrapped my arms around her waist. Her smile grew wider as she planted a kiss on my lips.
"You were awesome out there. And... you stink" She said as she began to laugh. I pretended to frown and then I took my shirt of and rubbed it in her face.
"What was that? I smelt what... . good? Oh ok you want more?" I said. Adie began to laugh even harder as I then threw my shirt on her head and hugged her with my sweaty body.
"Billie your all wet and... . get off," She said as she laughed harder. I kept on hugging her as she then threw my shirt onto a chair a little away from us. I could hear everyone laughing but mostly Adie. I laughed as well as we both fell onto the couch right next to Tre.
"Love," Tre said as he rolled his eyes. I poked Tre, as I was still hugging Adie with my sweaty self.
I then got off of Adie and sat next to her.
"Love you to," Adie said as she looked at her t-shirt. I gave a chuckle and then kissed Adie on top of the head.
"Adie, I'd kick him if I were you," Stella suddenly said with a huge grin on her face. We all looked at Stella surprised and then she pointed at Mike.
"He told me to say it!!" She shouted as she then ran out of the room. Mike looked at me and then started to walk backwards.
"I... well... I wouldn't want a sweat man hugging me... personally... . maybe Adie likes it," Mike said then bumping into the wall behind him.
"Excuse me... I don't like it" Tre began to laugh as Adie said this. I ran up to Mike and grabbed my wet shirt on the way.
"Oh but Mike how can you say you don't like it if you haven't tried it yet?" I asked as I then smothered it on his face.
"Billie... . that's disgusting you moron...Billie" Mike then grabbed my shirt and yanked it out of my hands. He then smothered it in my face as I heard everyone in the room laugh.
"Tre, throw me your shirt" Mike shouted. I tried to stop Mike as the smell of wet dog entered my nostrils. Then I felt sticky sweat drip down my back.
"The Coolmister strikes back" I heard Tre shout as he whipped my back with his wet stinky shirt.
"Guys stop!! My kids will come and see this now" I said. Adie laughed and then wrapped her arms around my waist as Mike and Tre back off.
"After show parties rock" Tre laughed as he handed Adie and me a beer.
"A toast to the best band in the world!" Adie shouted. Everyone raised their glasses and drank out of their beer bottles. Man, I love being in this band.
"Dad" I turned around and saw Jakob run towards me.
"HEY" I shouted as he jumped into my arms.
"EWW DAD! Your all wet and sticky" Jakob said as he jumped away and ran to Adie.
"So are you Mom," Jakob said, as he didn't know who to turn to next. Everyone laughed.
"Dude, we've just rocked out there of course we're wet" Tre said as he handed him some soda.
"Yeah I know but why can't you use soap to smell better again?" He asked.
"You mean deodorant doofus," Joey said as he walked in and sat next to Mike.
"No soap that what you put on when your wet... . right Dad?" Jakob asked as he looked at me. I laughed as I looked over at Adie not quite sure what to say.
"Jakob your right you do but... Joey is right as well." Jakob shrugged his shoulders and sat on the floor playing with his portable game player.
I laughed and then went over to Tre.
"Kids... . sheesh" I said as I took a sip of my beer.
"Hey dude haven't you noticed... I am one, now come here" Tre said as he grabbed my head and messed up my hair.
"DON'T TOUCH THE HIAR," I shouted as I ran after Tre.

I grabbed my tub of 'Ben and Jerry's Phish Food' and sat down in front of the TV and turned 'Wayne's World 2' on. I sat on my old beat up couch and turned all the lights off, the only light that was on was my laptop that was on my desk. I then got a huge spoon full of ice cream on my spoon.
In love... why did you tell Stacy that? Toria you were in love your not IN love. You can't be. It's impossible. He's a rock star drummer in the biggest band in the world, and you're a waitress part time drum teacher. A drum teacher who is getting ice cream over her best pyjamas!! DAMN IT!
I ran into the kitchen and whipped the chocolate off of my top before it stained it forever. As I whipped the ice cream off a message came up on my laptop. I threw the cloth into the sink and walked over to my laptop. I opened the message up and saw that it was from Tre.
My heart stopped, as my eyes couldn't get away from the screen.
The show, they said they'd e-mail us after the show!!
I scrolled to the top of the message and began to read...
Dear Toria
Hey I said I would E-mail you after the show!! Well, we've just come off the stage really but I took a shower so this message would smell nice!! Cause, when we came off the stage Billie and Adie had this sweat fight... and you don't really want to know the rest.
Well the show was awesome, like every other Green Day shows that has ever been played. * wink *. The drummer that Billie chose to play Knowledge was awesome. He was a guy around 25 and we asked him to do a little solo to show us how good he was and he kicked ass! Not as much as me obviously but he was still good. The best that has been chosen so far.
I wish we had seen you so Billie could have chosen you to drum. I haven't heard you drum in years and I bet you're way better now than you were back then. I heard your teaching drumming. Passing on the drummer bug to innocent little kids. I LIKE IT!
Well anyway, nobody knows I am sending you a secret? E-mail. I don't really want them to know. I suppose you wouldn't either. I don't know. Just don't E-mail Billie or Mike telling them I E-mailed you in secret they would think I wrote something lovey or something. I don't know why they would think that, but I know they will trust me!!!! Hones I don't know why they would think that.
Anyway got to go now. There are some V.I.P kids here who want to marry me. I'll e-mail you soon.
Tre xx
P.S. Mike asked Roxie so I'm going to ask you... do you want to come to the Green Day European tour? Answer me in your E-mail back. Thanks .x
I turned around in my chair and looked at the TV but didn't pay attention to what was on.
He sent me a secret E-mail. He wants me to go on the European tour. Can I go? I want to... but... Stacy and Roxie? What happens if I go and something happens, like when we were together? Shut up Toria your just paranoid and you talking to your self... and you're answering your own questions.
Right Toria; E-mail him back with the answer at the end now, before you go crazy.
Mike's Hotel Room
Mike Pov
I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
She's going to say no. I know it. Why would she say yes? I suppose if I were she, I'd say no as well.
I got up and stretched my arms in the air. I brought my arms back to my side and looked at my daughter sleeping in the bed next to mine. I smiled as he hair was all over her face. I walked up to her and gently moved her hair away from her face. Her nose wriggled and she made a little squeaking noise. I smiled and kissed the top of her head.
"Love you," I whispered as I walked into the bathroom.
Stella is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, and she can never tell lies. She has never told a lie ever in her life. I don't think the word lying is in her vocabulary. She's an awesome girl though. She's my life. I'd even give up the band for her if I really had to.
I walked over to the sink and filled the bowl up with water and got some into my hands. Some started to trickle slowly through the gaps of my fingers. Before it all disappeared I splashed it in my face.
I need to be straight with Roxie, I need to ask straight if she wants to come. If I don't find out soon, I think I might go insane in my own mind.
Billie Hotel Room
Adie Pov
I went in to the boy's rooms to see if they were both asleep and then closed the door and went out to join Billie on the balcony with a glass of wine.
"They're asleep. I think today killed Jakob he was so exited I think he tired him self out" I said as I sat down. Billie laughed and moved his chair closer to mine.
"The one thing I don't like about touring is being away from you and the kids," Billie said as he planted a passionate kiss on my lips. I put my hands on his face as Billie put his on my shoulders. We parted and a huge grin was painted on Billie's face.
"You look so weird when you have that stupid grin on your face" I said as I laughed harder. Billie frowned and drank more of his beer. I laughed and looked over all of the cars whizzing past. As I was looking my mind wondered back to a phone call Billie gave me yesterday about bumping in to old friends.
"Hey Billie, who were these old friends you bumped in to?" I asked as I took a sip of my wine.
"Oh yeah...no you don't want to know" He said as he looked back at the sky.
"Oh no don't do this please I really want to know" I said as I shook Billie's arm.
"Ok, I'll give you a clue, three girls one you wouldn't suspect and two of them have been out with guys from the band... " Billie said as he twirled his finger on the table.
Girls who've been out with someone Mike and Tre... . old friends.
Shit... no... it can't be. No way.
"You don't mean Roxie and Toria?" I asked thinking that it couldn't be them.
"Yup and Stacy remember her? Well she was a punk of some kind all along but it's a long story, but we went into their café. Its actually Stacy's but Roxie and Toria work there to, but Toira carried on with her drumming by becoming a drum teacher after work and Roxie does photography and some of her stuff is up for sale in the café" Billie said and his face was all wise ass looking.
"Wow I can't believe it. How did Mike and Tre take it with seeing them again?" I asked knowing that they had never forgotten about them.
"Well in the café they were ok, but, Mike asked Roxie to come with us on the European tour, witch I don't mind cause it would be awesome, but, I think she's going to say no. And Tre isn't opening up and I know he is going to burst but Mike isn't doing any better. He's mostly confused I think" Billie said obviously worried about his best friends.
"Hey come here," I said as I stood up and opened my arms. Billie stood up and wrapped his arms around my waist and I put mine around his neck.
"Don't worry, they will know what to do when the time comes, and Tre will open up. I don't know when but he will but when he does, he will need you and Mike." I said as I gently kissed him on the lips.
"Thanks Adie. I love you," He said as we looked at each other. He has the most hypnotising green eyes every.
"Love you," I said. Billie smiled as our lips met again.
Tre's Hotel Room
Tre's Pov
I sent it. I sent the E-mail. Happy now conscience. You win! And it has now been 20 minutes now and I feel like I should not have sent it. That's the last time I'm listening to you.
After talking to my conscience I walked away from my laptop and got a bottle of water from the hotel mini fridge. I took the top off and drank half of the bottle in one. I whipped my mouth with my hand and I put the lid back on the bottle and put it down on the bedside table. I opened the balcony door and stepped outside as I felt the fresh air blow through my hair. I looked over to my left and two balconies down I saw Billie and Adie making out. I looked at them for a second and smiled remembering how exited they were for getting married. I then turned away and walked back in and went to see if I had any messages.
None.
Damn.
It's my fault most probably with what I did to make us split. I can't believe I did it. Why did you do it Tre? Stupid conscience. You told her that you loved her. Stupid!! It was to soon. As I was deep in thought my laptop made a noise made telling me I had a message. I slowly walked over to the laptop praying it was Toria.
I opened the message and I scrolled down to see... . TORIA!!
I scrolled back up and started to read what she had written back.
Hey Tre
Thanks for E-mailing me. It really made my day. And I assure you that the E-mail smelt really good. And I want to know more about this sweat fight! Sounds fun.
I assure you I am the better drummer. If he was only 20 something I can kick his butt. Tee hee. The show I went to was awesome so I knew the show you played tonight would be as awesome as well. I'm kinda glad you didn't choose me for the drumming. I think the way we did end up seeing each other was awesome. Really unexpected. I liked it. Especially when you fell asleep on me. You looked cute. Mary Poppins.
I wont tell anyone about this E-mail. I like the idea of a secret E-mail. It's like as if I am a spy. Spy's rock. But not as much as drummers. Male drummers. Anyway E-mail back soon. And make sure you all E-mail Stacy so we can read it tomorrow in the café.
Toria xx
P.S. I'd love to go on the European tour with Green Day.
