"Why to us, Mike?" "I don't know Bill, I just hope they're not gonna find out", chapter 1
-BILLIE'S POV-
I didn't know what to do. Was Mike saying the truth? Was he really going to leave the band OUR band? I couldn't believe it.
We had just had another argue, just like the others we always had, but this time it was worse. Mike was going to leave. I decided to talk with him that day, since we had practices, maybe the last practices... I was so shocked, I needed to chill out so I sat down a moment on my sofa. I wasn't tired at all but suddenly I fell asleep.
It was very strange because it was just 10:00 a. M..
-KATY'S POV-
I was so sick of my mum... I couldn't stand her any more. When I was with her I always felt so bad. I hated her. If I was still living in that fucking house it was just because of my best friend, Kristelle.
She played the drums and when we played together (I play the guitar) she had some kinda energy and she simply sized me up, every time I was down.
One day I had a bad argue with my mum. I locked myself in my room and started crying. I phoned Kristelle and she asked me if I wanted to go and play something with her. I said yes but when I put my shoes on and I was ready, I sat down a moment on my bed and I suddenly fell asleep.
It was very strange because it was just 10:00 a. M..
-BILLIE'S POV-
I woke up and I noticed I wasn't on my sofa. I was laying on a bed in a small room. I couldn't see the walls because they were entirely covered in posters. I saw myself, Mike and Tre looking at me from every direction. Then I saw a guitar in a corner and a cell phone near a computer, on a table. A few dirty laundry was laying scattered on the floor.
I didn't even have the time to say 'where the fuck am I? ' when suddenly the cell rang. I didn't know what to do. Eventually I picked it up and answered.
"Hello?"
-KATY'S POV-
I woke up and I noticed I wasn't in my bedroom. I was laying on a big, comfortable sofa, in a huge, beautiful house I'd never seen before. I immediately looked at the photographs behind me: two children and a woman. Those faces weren't new to me. Next to them, a man. I recognized him as Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day.
I realized something. I had a sudden fear. Where was I? It couldn't be possible, it couldn't be my idol's house...
-KRISTELLE'S POV-
I was a bit worried. Where the fuck was Katy? I phoned her and someone answered me. I thought it was her, but it wasn't. It was a man. I stayed silent. So did he.
"Hello?" I said, eventually.
"Sorry..." he asked, "Who are you?"
"Well..." was my answer "I'm Kristelle, a friend of Katy's... Um... Who are you? And where is Katy?" I said, trying to hid that bit of a panic in my voice.
"Erm... I don't know who Katy is," he obviously haven't heard of Katy before, but I was still curious to know who that stranger was "and I'm not going to tell you who I am, you wouldn't believe me".
Everything was so weird. What could I do? He could have been a thief. What the fuck, thieves don't answer the phone.
"Come on! Tell me! Who are you?"
"Ok... Well..." he took a deep breath "hopefully you've never heard of me but..." he took another deep breath, and then he said "I'm Billie Joe Armstrong".
What the fuck...?! It couldn't be! Of course I thought it was a joke.
"See? You don't believe me. Bye.".
He hung up. I was shocked. How could Billie Joe, the love of my life, answer Katy's cell phone?
-KATY'S POV-
I heard footsteps. It was Adrienne.
"Billie, where are you?" I heard her asking to an invisible Billie, "Tre's just phoned. Today you've got practices, remember? And he also told me Mike wants to talk to you".
I panicked. What could I do? Nothing. Adrienne came in and saw me.
"Who are you?" Panic in her voice, she was standing in the doorway, "Where's my husband?"
"Well... Erm... I..." 'oh, fuck, what do I do now? ' I thought.
"What happened to Billie?" she nearly shouted.
"Please, Adrienne, don't worry. It's a long story." I didn't know if I should have told her or not but the words came out of my mouth before I could even stop therm "I fell asleep in my room, then I woke up and was here and now I'm here and..." I was almost crying.
"Ok, sit down, tell me everything, it'll help both of us to understand.".
I started telling her everything, from the argue with my mum to moment right before she saw me. She was very friendly and she believed me. Thank God.
"So, you can play the guitar... Interesting..." she looked like she was thinking as fast as she could.
"What's so interesting? Billie Joe can play it too." I glared at her.
"Can you play Green Day's songs?" she asked, giving me an inquisitive look.
"Of course I can, every one of them. Why the question?"
"Because today Billie was supposed to have practices but since he's not here..."
Was she going to bring me to the band practice? Gosh!
"Come on, come with me, I'm bringing you to the band practices."
Whoa! I couldn't believe it! I was going to meet Mike, Tre, Jason and the others. I was really going to meet Mike Dirnt, the hottest guy in the world. OH MY GOD!
-BILLIE'S POV-
I started looking around. I was feeling nervous because of those posters staring at me.
I picked up the cell phone, thinking it could be useful someway and I walked out of that house. I found myself walking a lonely road.
Whoa, that was weird.
I was a bit afraid. I thought this 'Kristelle' could have helped me, so I searched her address or her number in the phone. I found them and started looking around for some indication. When I found the right house I heard someone inside playing drums. Whoever it was, was fucking good, nearly well as Tre.
I already missed the guys, I missed playing with them.
-MIKE'S POV-
Ok. Tre was right. I was going to say sorry to Billie.
That day we had practices. I was late and that wasn't good.
I ran in the car and drove to the band place. When I got there the stuff was already set up.
I walked in and found Tre.
"Hey mate, I'm sorry I'm late..." I looked at Tre and he was looking at me with a tragic look on his face.
"Dude what's up?" I asked.
"Billie disappeared."
"W-Wh-What?" I was shocked, he had to be joking!
"He disappeared. No one knows where he is, probably at Katy's"
"Who the fuck is Katy?"
"Let me speak, please!"
Oh my God, that really was weird.
"Sorry dude. Hell, sit down Tre, you look awful." We sat down at the table.
Tre took a deep breath, then he spoke, slowly, searching the best words to tell me the worst.
"She's just changed 'places' with Billie, you know, like in a film..."
At that very moment Adrienne came up to me and asked "Hey, Mike, can I have a word with you please?"
"Sure. Tre already told me nearly everything, I don't think I understood it, but I got the situation." I said, pointing at Tre who was standing now against the wall, a bit pale.
"Ok, but there's one more thing you need to know." Adie said, while walking in, before me.
"Oh, ok then, tell me everything."
"Well," she took a deep sigh "I think you should know this. She likes you."
No way, it couldn't be another fan, no please!
"Adrienne are you joking?" She shook her head.
"Tre, is this one of your jokes? Because if it is, it's not funny at all" He looked indignantly at me.
"Micheal Ryan Prichard, how dare you accusing me this time? Do I look like this is a joke? Eh, tell me, do I look like this is a joke?".
I slowly shook my head.
"See? NO! So shut the hell up" and he exit. Poor Tre...
"So is this one of the teenies that likes me because I'm famous? 'Coz if she does, I'm not gonna meet her." I looked at the window, as in fear she could spy us.
She continued "No, Mike, not because you're famous but because, let me quote, -he's hot, he's nice, he's funny, he's hot, he can play bass, he's wise, he's hot, he's got a weakness for coffee just like I do, AND he's hot. - That's what she told me."
I looked at her, not knowin if you should've smiled or stay serious. "Whoa, just a few reasons!"
"Yeah," she smiled "and I wanted to warn you." She turned around, heading to the door.
"Oh yeah, almost forgot," She told me from the doorway, "she's got a wonderful voice, so since Billie's not here," she took another sigh "she's playing instead."
"NO! She can't Adie, come one, Billie's the one and only."
"Who's gonna sing then?" she raised an eyebrow.
"Well..." I thought of something, anything, to say, but I couldn't find any excuse. "Oh, ok, Adie, she's gonna sing."
"Great. Now, let's go." I followed Adie in the room where everyone was. "Let's meet this Katy then..."
-KRISTELLE'S POV-
I was playing drums, I needed to chill out a bit, that phone call really shocked me.
I was just starting to calm down when I heard the doorbell ringing. I flew downstairs and opened the door. My heart gave a jump: there, in front of me, stood Billie Joe Armstrong!
He looked at me with his wonderful green eyes, those one you can get lost in. He was begging me with his eyes, I could see he was a bit afraid. I couldn't resist, I invited him in. He told me with a trembling voice:
"Please you must listen to me, you must believe me..."
"Hey, what's up? Sit down."
"Well... I really need to talk about it with someone. Everything started yesterday. Mike and I had an argue, a bad one. He dared say he'd left the band. I was so worried..."
And he went on, telling me how he fell asleep, and well, about his kinda 'adventure'.
Billie Joe Armstrong was sitting in my living room, speaking with me about his private life and problems. I still couldn't believe it.
-BILLIE'S POV-
We spoke for about an hour. That Kristelle was very kind and friendly with me. She was 15 but she seems older and more serious than other teenagers. A strange energy spread from her, it was a wonderful feeling, I felt... Safe.
When I finished my story she looked at me and I stared into her eyes. I noticed for the first time they were blue. Gorgeous blue eyes. Wait, did I just say gorgeous? What the fuck?
Something happened.
I don't know what, nor why.
I felt something, somewhere around my heart that got nothing to do with fear, or anger. I tried to ignore that feeling but when I looked away she suddenly spoke:
"Don't worry, we'll find the way to bring you back home".
And she grabbed my hands in hers.
Gosh, I couldn't resist her.
-MIKE'S POV-
I walked into the room and I heard someone playing "Basket case". I thought it was Jason but then I remembered that Jason can't play it properly, only Billie can. In fact, I saw Jason sitting in a corner, grinning at me, and he wasn't playing.
I spun around and saw her. I realized she was a pretty girl.
Long, dark hair, a lot of eyeliner, wearing black clothes and Converse. She was really good at playing. I watched her in amazement, I had to be dreaming. The moment she saw I was looking at her, she stopped playing.
"No, don't stop, play something." I said to her.
So she started playing and singing 'Homecoming'. Whoa, we hadn't played it in a long time, and it wasn't an easy song, I just hoped not to do it wrong. I grabbed my bass, and play along with her. Then Tre ran in and said: "Hey wait! I'm playing too!"
There we were. All together. Playing. Without Billie. I already missed him.
I was watching Katy singing. I felt something, somewhere around my heart, that got nothing to do with the fact I missed Billie. I tried to ignore that feeling, maybe it was just because she's a great singer.
I looked over at Tre and he grinned happily. I looked back at Katy and she smiled at me.
What was happening into me?
I didn't know what to do. Was Mike saying the truth? Was he really going to leave the band OUR band? I couldn't believe it.
We had just had another argue, just like the others we always had, but this time it was worse. Mike was going to leave.
