Stolen Smile Returned, chapter 8
Toria Pov
What do I tell the guys then? I've told Tre I will go on the European tour, which is what I really want to do, but will the guys like the idea of me going? And Roxie, if I tell her will it make her want to go? This is confusing and its hurting my head. This isn't fun. I'm just going to drink the rest of my coffee and listen to the radio then get my self-ready for work.
I walked over to the counter and picked up a ginger bread man. I walked back to the table and drank some of my coffee. I sat back in my seat and started to think about the kid I was teaching tonight. Scott. What a guy. He's had his hair so many colours I cant even remember what colour hair he had when I first met him. Right now I know its black with blue at the ends of his hair. It used to be all red, and before that electric green but after that I forget. But I do remember he used to have it pink but that was some time ago now. He is a really fast learner. He can really play. I'm teaching him how to play the drums to Good Charlotte- Girls And Boys. He loves that song so I taught my self-how to drum to it by listening to the song and using some tabs. He's half way through the song already and he's only been on it for two weeks. He's an awesome kid. I've got to mention the guy to Tre. Tre would love him. Everyone would love him really but Scott and Tre would fit like a glove. I should tell Scott I saw them in concert. Green Day. I don't think he'd believe me if I told him he came to the café and that we were 'old friends'. I have got a photo to prove it.
Scott is going to be so jealous.
I drank the last of my coffee and took it over to the sink as I was eating my ginger bread man at the same time. When I arrived the sink half of the ginger bread man had gone.
"Oops sorry man" I said as I realised I bit off his head first. I don't usually do that. It's nasty. I then ran up to my room and tried to find some clothes to wear.
"I think my jeans and grey Ramones Rock'n Roll High School t-shirt." I said as I went over to my chair and got the jeans and then went to the wardrobe and got my t-shirt out. I got clean underwear out and socks and got dressed. I put my pyjamas under my pillow and made the bed.
"Room looks kinda clean now," I said as I analysed my bedroom. Deep down I know, I live in a pigsty. My mom used to clean my room for me but ever since I moved out, my habits haven't changed one bit. As I was going into the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face the phone began to ring.
"Weird" I said to my self as I walked back into my bedroom. Nobody usually rings me in the morning.
"Hello" I said as I picked the phone up.
"Hey Toria it's Roxie" I heard a small voice say. Strange. Roxie doesn't usually sound this quiet.
"Hey Roxie. What's wrong you sound, different?" I asked as I sat down on the bed.
"I just didn't get much sleep. I rang to ask you if you think I should go to the tour with Green Day? I mean I just don't really know what to do and you're my best friend so, please tell me what I should do Toria please?" I sighed a concerned sigh and put my hand through my hair.
"Roxie. I can't tell you what to do. You have to decide for yourself. I mean. Do you want to go and try and make something happen with you and Mike. Even if you stay friends? You never know it might do you some good just to go and spend time with him" I said trying to make her say yes in a way so then I could tell her I'm going, but I didn't want her to be upset about anything.
"I do want to go yes. I really do that's the truth but I'm scared I suppose." Roxie said as her voice went small again.
"Roxie, Mike is grown up now. He's way taller and he's got a better haircut. If you're not sure and want to talk to him more, either E-mail him or ask for his number and ring him. Roxie what ever happens Stacy and I are here to help ok? Just like you did when Seb left ok?" I said trying to make her feel better.
"Thanks Toria. You're always good at giving advice. Right by the way. Stacy is coming in at dinner time because of something so it's just going to be me and you this morning" Roxie said sounding way happier.
"Yeah it'll be fun. And Roxie, I will be you model mind for that new picture no problem" I said remembering about the blank space. I heard a Roxie laugh on the other side.
"It's ok. I will take a picture of all of us one day. Maybe when Green Day come back and see us or something. Thanks again Toria. See you soon bye" Roxie said.
"BYE!" I shouted as I then hung up.
I got up from the bed and went into the bathroom like I was supposed to.
Poor Roxie. She is going insane about all of this. Man she must have been hurt more than I thought. She's going to have to see her mom and dad soon to make her feel better. It always has. She's never been to her mom and dad on her own ever since the Mike incident. Chad Stacy Brain or I have been with her every time. The last time she saw them was when Chad went away to Iraq, and, that was around a year ago now. Yeah that's it. After Scott's lesson I'll buy flowers pick Stacy and Brian up and go and see Roxie's parents. Yeah that's what I'll do.
Back At The Hotel
Mike's Pov
"Ok Hero. Be good for Adie ok? And take care of your Mom yeah. I'll see you soon" I said as I kissed Stella on the head, she then grabbed me around the waist
"I love you Dad." He said as she hugged me. I put my hands on her head because she was a bit to short for me to hug her back.
"I love you more" I said as I kissed her on the head again. She then ran off into the car waiting for Adie to say goodbye to Billie. I hate watching Adie and Billie say goodbye. The next time they will see each other will be when we play in Brazil which will be one of our last shows so, that's in around four weeks. It obviously upsets Billie a little, but he's gotten so used to it now he knows how to bounce back. And he calls everyday to talk to her and his kids. I try and do that but Anastasia doesn't like it when I call too much. She's scared Stella will want to see me more and we live quite far away, so it isn't really good at the moment. It's understandable though.
Tre is the one in the bad position. Ramona lives in New York and Frankito is to young to come and see Tre all the time. The travelling would kill the poor child. Tre does live with Frankito though, but we do tour a lot so, suppose it doesn't mean a lot to the poor guy.
"SEE YOU ALL SOON" Joey shouted as Adie drove away. We all stood there waving frantically as we were all blowing kisses and we could here the kids laughing in the back of the car.
When they were out of sight we all went back into the hotel and waited with our bags in the sitting area for the bus driver to come.
"Brazil. Do you think people in Brazil actually like us?" Tre asked obviously thinking about the next time we se them.
"Don't know. We haven't played there much. We're only playing one show there anyway I think. I just can't believe we have to drive there. It's going to take ages" I said as I turned my cell phone on.
"I know what you mean, I feel sorry for the kids. It's going to take all of their energy. Suppose it's a holiday for them" Billie said as he messed his hair up with his hands.
"You can never leave you hair alone can you?" Tre asked as he watched Billie constantly touching it.
"Sorry its just I haven't had it cut in ages and it feels different. I don't know what to do with it" Billie said as he shook his head with made some of his hair flop to one side.
"Have it cut around here then or on the way. Then you can use you crispy shine gel to make it all better," Tre said as I began to laugh.
"Oh ha ha shut up Tre, nah I want it to grow. If I don't like it then all I've got to do is cut it" I stopped laughing and nodded in agreement with Billie.
"Fair enough Billie boy, talking about hair, Mikey boy, I can't see your roots" Tre said pointing at my hair.
"Yeah I know. I'm gonna let the blonde disappear. It was good for a while now I'm getting blinded every time I look in the mirror. And I think Stella is scared of it" I said remembering the look she gave me when she first saw it. When I said that Billie and Tre burst out laughing.
"Ok, at least Billie's hair doesn't scare little children" Tre said as he whipped a tear from his eye. I frowned as Billie carried on laughing.
"Come on it wasn't that funny" I said as I threw my pillow at him. He grabbed the pillow and threw it back at me as he then cooled down.
"Sorry it's just, you scared Stella with blonde hair" Billie said as he then finally stopped laughing.
"Your crazy" Tre said as he looked at Billie.
"Look who's talking" Billie said as he looked at Tre. Tre then held his head high and slyly looked over at Billie.
"Crazy and proud. At least I'm cool" Tre said as he crossed his legs.
"Ok you win. You always win when you say that. Evil" Billie said as he poked his tongue out. Tre laughed and looked out the door to see if the bus driver was coming.
"Hey Bill, do you know who drank all of the coffee on the bus? Because I've had 5 cups on the bus so far and there were at least 20 on there so... have you drank some?" I asked remembering trying to find some once.
"Erm... well... I... TRE DID IT!" Billie said as he pointed at Tre.
"What did I do now?" Tre asked as soon as he heard his name.
"Did you drink the coffee?" I asked looking at him stern. Tre shifted his collar and looked at Billie.
"Ok well I drank around 7 so I didn't drink it all because there was around 7 or 8 when I left" Tre said as he was still looking at Billie.
"So wait. We have drank all of the coffee already?" Billie asked then looking back at me.
"God we're machines drinking through all of them" I said twiddling my thumbs. I then heard Tre and Billie cough.
"What?" I asked them.
"You drink coffee as if it was the only liquid on the earth" Billie said looking all wise-ass. Tre nodded his head.
"I didn't drink 7 cups. I only drank 5!" I said as I looked at them both. They were going to open their mouths but thought against it. I smiled and then looked out the door to see if there was any sign of the bus driver. As I looked out my mind wondered back to Roxie again. God, I can't get her off of my mind! I seriously need to get her phone number. I don't want to E-mail her. I want to hear her voice. I must sound so sad to Billie and Tre going on about her. One day I see her after 15 years and it's as if I'm married to the woman. All I want is another chance. I know I don't deserve it that much, but I loved her so much. She was my first love. She was the only person that made me feel ok to act like me. Especially back then when punk was bullied. Roxie please just say yes!! Right Mike from this point forward you are not allowed to talk about Roxie anymore. Help Tre with his situation with Toria, it is so bloody obvious he wants to see her again, and just get through the tour. Don't think about Roxie at the moment. It'll drive you until your brains are hanging out of your head.
"Hey we haven't E-mailed Stacy yet haven't we to tell the girls how the show went" Billie said all of a sudden.
"Oops. We can do it on the bus, if the bus driver ever comes!" Tre shouted as he looked at the door. This time when he looked the bus driver was there signalling us to walk over.
"Grab all your bags guys we're on the move again" Billie said as he put his sunglasses on and picked his bag up.
Another day on the bus.
The Café
Roxie Pov
I walked over to the door and changed the sign to open. I smiled and walked over to the counter and just washed the top before any customers come. As I was washing I looked up at the blank space on the wall.
"Stacy's right, it does look naked," I said as I cocked my head to the side. I put my head back into the normal position and threw the flannel back into the sink.
"I've only got half day today I might as well go to the pier to see if I can find anything" I said to my self. Yeah that's what I'll do. I'll go straight after lunch. I went into the back room to get some coffee for the machine as I heard Toria come through the door.
"HONEY WHERE ARE YOU?" She shouted as the door closed behind her. I laughed and then came back to the front with the coffee.
"Hey there," I said as I blew her a kiss. She laughed and hung her jacket up as she then stopped.
"What?" I asked as I realised she was staring at a black jacket hanging up there.
"Isn't this Mike's?" Toria asked. When she said his name my heart jumped.
"No, I'm positive he took it with him" I said putting the coffee down and walking over towards Toria.
"It looks like the one he wore" Toria said picking it up and having a good look at it.
"No I remember him taking it. Maybe its Tre's or Billie's?" I asked looking at it.
"I don't know I cant remember" Toria said obviously anxious to find out who's it was.
"Well this just means they have to come back and see us then eh?" I said. Toria laughed and hung it back up as I went back to the coffee and the coffee machine.
"Hey by the way. After my lesson with Scott tonight, I'm going to pick you Stacy and Brian up to see your parents ok? Its about time we did" Toria said as if it was a demand.
"Wait why?" I asked not really that thrilled to go see my parents in some graveyard.
"To put your mind at rest about everything lately." Toria said as she started to brush the floor.
"Wait but can you just come with me I mean. I don't want everyone coming and I suppose you know what I'm going through the most," I said as I finished putting the coffee in the machine.
"Course. You don't like going to see them do you?" Toria asked. I wish we'd stop talking about my parents.
"No not really. Anyway, it's a half day for me today so I'm going to go to the pier to see if I can find anything to take a photo of" I said changing the subject of my parents.
"Yeah, 'course, just make sure you're free for 7:30 ish. That's when I'll come," Toria said as she put the brush away and sat in one of the chairs. I smiled and sat down next to Toria.
"Hey why don't you turn the laptop on here to see if they sent us an E-mail" Toria said looking at the laptop. I knew whom she meant by 'they'. I nodded my head and walked over to the laptop and turned it on. I connected to the Internet as I then heard Toria move closer to the laptop.
"Anything?" She asked. I laughed and looked at Toria.
"I've only just connected hold on now" Toria shrugged her shoulders and gave a little laugh. I turned my head back to the laptop as I saw there were two messages on there. I clicked on the first one and it was from them. They sent us an E-mail. Like they said they would.
"Well go on. Read it then" Toria said getting exited. I laughed and then began to read.
Hello R, S, T!! (Hey have you noticed the first letters of your names are right next to each other in the alphabet!)
Well as usual the show last night was awesome. We seriously kicked ass and the crowd loved us. And after the show Adie Stella Jakob and Joey were there so everyone was happy as we hat a little 'water' fight and drank beer to make the night complete.
We would just like to say that we really like your café. Really we do. It's awesome, even though two of us were to drunk in the night to realise where we were and who you were, but the morning after, we realised, and we all approved big time.
Billie- Just saying that I told Adie where the café was so, you might get a visit from her one-day. She cant wait to see you all again and especially Stacy because they have never really met before so, just a formal warning.
Tre- HEY ALL! Sorry I threw up in the men's and sorry if it smells. As long as I stick in your mind that's ok. And I would like to thank Toria for lending me her shoulder to sleep on. It was really comfortable so I thank you.
Mike-I would like to start of by complimenting your coffee in the café. It rocks. Wish we had some on the bus, but it's all gone so we are going to have to buy some. Wooh and before I forget can we get your cell phone numbers please?
We hope to see you soon and that you still remember us... . even though we are on the TV a lot so we don't think it would be possible for you guys to forget us. Have a great time and try not to break any bones!!
Love
Green Day.
(Tre loves you all more!! Muahahahah!!)
I finished reading the E-mail and looked at Toria.
"Adie might be coming," I said as I felt excitement run through my body.
"They want our cell phone numbers" Toria said also exited. We both looked at each other and began to dance!!
"Hey there's another message." Toria said as she pointed at the screen. As soon as she did point at the screen some customers were at the door.
"It'll have to wait. Come one, customers. We have to serve our great coffee. I think we should rename our coffee to the Dirnt-meister in honour of Mike," I said as we walked to the counter. Toria sighed.
"We shall talk it over with Stacy" I smiled as I then walked over to the family that had just sat down.
What do I tell the guys then? I've told Tre I will go on the European tour, which is what I really want to do, but will the guys like the idea of me going? And Roxie, if I tell her will it make her want to go? This is confusing and its hurting my head. This isn't fun. I'm just going to drink the rest of my coffee and listen to the radio then get my self-ready for work.
I walked over to the counter and picked up a ginger bread man. I walked back to the table and drank some of my coffee. I sat back in my seat and started to think about the kid I was teaching tonight. Scott. What a guy. He's had his hair so many colours I cant even remember what colour hair he had when I first met him. Right now I know its black with blue at the ends of his hair. It used to be all red, and before that electric green but after that I forget. But I do remember he used to have it pink but that was some time ago now. He is a really fast learner. He can really play. I'm teaching him how to play the drums to Good Charlotte- Girls And Boys. He loves that song so I taught my self-how to drum to it by listening to the song and using some tabs. He's half way through the song already and he's only been on it for two weeks. He's an awesome kid. I've got to mention the guy to Tre. Tre would love him. Everyone would love him really but Scott and Tre would fit like a glove. I should tell Scott I saw them in concert. Green Day. I don't think he'd believe me if I told him he came to the café and that we were 'old friends'. I have got a photo to prove it.
Scott is going to be so jealous.
I drank the last of my coffee and took it over to the sink as I was eating my ginger bread man at the same time. When I arrived the sink half of the ginger bread man had gone.
"Oops sorry man" I said as I realised I bit off his head first. I don't usually do that. It's nasty. I then ran up to my room and tried to find some clothes to wear.
"I think my jeans and grey Ramones Rock'n Roll High School t-shirt." I said as I went over to my chair and got the jeans and then went to the wardrobe and got my t-shirt out. I got clean underwear out and socks and got dressed. I put my pyjamas under my pillow and made the bed.

"Roxie, Mike is grown up now. He's way taller and he's got a better haircut. If you're not sure and want to talk to him more, either E-mail him or ask for his number and ring him. Roxie what ever happens Stacy and I are here to help ok? Just like you did when Seb left ok?" I said trying to make her feel better.
"Thanks Toria. You're always good at giving advice. Right by the way. Stacy is coming in at dinner time because of something so it's just going to be me and you this morning" Roxie said sounding way happier.

"It's ok. I will take a picture of all of us one day. Maybe when Green Day come back and see us or something. Thanks again Toria. See you soon bye" Roxie said.
"BYE!" I shouted as I then hung up.
I got up from the bed and went into the bathroom like I was supposed to.
Poor Roxie. She is going insane about all of this. Man she must have been hurt more than I thought. She's going to have to see her mom and dad soon to make her feel better. It always has. She's never been to her mom and dad on her own ever since the Mike incident. Chad Stacy Brain or I have been with her every time. The last time she saw them was when Chad went away to Iraq, and, that was around a year ago now. Yeah that's it. After Scott's lesson I'll buy flowers pick Stacy and Brian up and go and see Roxie's parents. Yeah that's what I'll do.

Mike's Pov
"Ok Hero. Be good for Adie ok? And take care of your Mom yeah. I'll see you soon" I said as I kissed Stella on the head, she then grabbed me around the waist
"I love you Dad." He said as she hugged me. I put my hands on her head because she was a bit to short for me to hug her back.
"I love you more" I said as I kissed her on the head again. She then ran off into the car waiting for Adie to say goodbye to Billie. I hate watching Adie and Billie say goodbye. The next time they will see each other will be when we play in Brazil which will be one of our last shows so, that's in around four weeks. It obviously upsets Billie a little, but he's gotten so used to it now he knows how to bounce back. And he calls everyday to talk to her and his kids. I try and do that but Anastasia doesn't like it when I call too much. She's scared Stella will want to see me more and we live quite far away, so it isn't really good at the moment.

"Oh ha ha shut up Tre, nah I want it to grow. If I don't like it then all I've got to do is cut it" I stopped laughing and nodded in agreement with Billie.
"Fair enough Billie boy, talking about hair, Mikey boy, I can't see your roots" Tre said pointing at my hair.

"Look who's talking" Billie said as he looked at Tre. Tre then held his head high and slyly looked over at Billie.
"Crazy and proud. At least I'm cool" Tre said as he crossed his legs.
"Ok you win. You always win when you say that. Evil" Billie said as he poked his tongue out. Tre laughed and looked out the door to see if the bus driver was coming.
"Hey Bill, do you know who drank all of the coffee on the bus? Because I've had 5 cups on the bus so far and there were at least 20 on there so... have you drank some?" I asked remembering trying to find some once.

"No not really. Anyway, it's a half day for me today so I'm going to go to the pier to see if I can find anything to take a photo of" I said changing the subject of my parents.
"Yeah, 'course, just make sure you're free for 7:30 ish. That's when I'll come," Toria said as she put the brush away and sat in one of the chairs. I smiled and sat down next to Toria.
"Hey why don't you turn the laptop on here to see if they sent us an E-mail" Toria said looking at the laptop. I knew whom she meant by 'they'. I nodded my head and walked over to the laptop and turned it on. I connected to the Internet as I then heard Toria move closer to the laptop.
"Anything?" She asked. I laughed and looked at Toria.
"I've only just connected hold on now" Toria shrugged her shoulders and gave a little laugh. I turned my head back to the laptop as I saw there were two messages on there. I clicked on the first one and it was from them. They sent us an E-mail. Like they said they would.
"Well go on. Read it then" Toria said getting exited. I laughed and then began to read.
Hello R, S, T!! (Hey have you noticed the first letters of your names are right next to each other in the alphabet!)
Well as usual the show last night was awesome. We seriously kicked ass and the crowd loved us. And after the show Adie Stella Jakob and Joey were there so everyone was happy as we hat a little 'water' fight and drank beer to make the night complete.
We would just like to say that we really like your café. Really we do. It's awesome, even though two of us were to drunk in the night to realise where we were and who you were, but the morning after, we realised, and we all approved big time.
Billie- Just saying that I told Adie where the café was so, you might get a visit from her one-day. She cant wait to see you all again and especially Stacy because they have never really met before so, just a formal warning.
Tre- HEY ALL! Sorry I threw up in the men's and sorry if it smells. As long as I stick in your mind that's ok. And I would like to thank Toria for lending me her shoulder to sleep on. It was really comfortable so I thank you.
Mike-I would like to start of by complimenting your coffee in the café. It rocks. Wish we had some on the bus, but it's all gone so we are going to have to buy some. Wooh and before I forget can we get your cell phone numbers please?
We hope to see you soon and that you still remember us... . even though we are on the TV a lot so we don't think it would be possible for you guys to forget us. Have a great time and try not to break any bones!!
Love
Green Day.
(Tre loves you all more!! Muahahahah!!)
I finished reading the E-mail and looked at Toria.
"Adie might be coming," I said as I felt excitement run through my body.
"They want our cell phone numbers" Toria said also exited. We both looked at each other and began to dance!!
"Hey there's another message." Toria said as she pointed at the screen. As soon as she did point at the screen some customers were at the door.
"It'll have to wait. Come one, customers. We have to serve our great coffee. I think we should rename our coffee to the Dirnt-meister in honour of Mike," I said as we walked to the counter. Toria sighed.
"We shall talk it over with Stacy" I smiled as I then walked over to the family that had just sat down.
