All The Good Titles Were Taken...So We Used This One!, chapter 12
Jamie didn't say a word all the way to the apartment, neither did Ashley. It was 1:00 so they didn't have much to do for a while. When they arrived, Ashley's first thoughts were that the apartment resembled the set for Friends. They unpacked some random stuff, like the DVD player that Ashley stole from the hotel room.....and photos. They cried when they unpacked a photo of the three of them. They must have been about 16 back then. Ashley with her long, blonde hair in two pigtails. Jamie with her hair loose and shiny and her braces, shining from the sun's glow. Jason with his spikey brown hair, pulling his tounge out. All of them doing the Rock On sign with their hands. Those were the days. They unpacked another one, of just Jamie and Ashley, aged 9 when they hadn't met Jason. On that photo they were happy. They hadn't even heard of Green Day back then. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, the furniture was here, and 30 minutes late. Jamie carried her (disassembled) bed into her room. About 15 minutes later it was assembled. She put the covers on it etc. There was another knock at the door. Ashley answered and was greeted with a big, bear hug from Tré.
"Hey guys!" Ashley cried happily as the band walked into the apartment.
"Wow, is this the set for Friends?"asked Mike.
"Probably,"replied Ashley simply. Jamie came out of her room and glared at Billie who was standing in the doorway. She walked back into her room, with a huge handfull of the clothes that she bought yesterday. Ashley, Tré and Mike went to set up Ashley's bed in her room (she couldn't do it alone in her condition). And Billie put away their pans etc. Ashley randomly remembered that tomorrow was Halloween. She would have to see if there was any parties on. About half an hour later, Mike had emerged and was asking everyone what they wanted for their lunch. He was going to go to the Starbucks that was opposite the hotel.
"Tré, what do ya want for your lunch?" asked Mike.
"Hmm....I want.....umm," Tré was obviously trying to annoy Mike, and it was working.
"Just come with me, you can decide in the car." Mike ordered impatiently. The two went off to get lunch.
Billie watched as Jamie walked in and out of her room to get more stuff.
"Ashley, what should I do about Jamie?" asked Billie as soon as Jamie was out of the room.
"What do ya mean?"asked Ashley.
"How do I get her back?" asked Billie, looking sad.
"Well she has almost everything in common with you. What would you, want you to do?" asked Ashley. Billie looked confused.
"Huh?"
"If you were Jamie, what would you want Billie to do to make you feel better about him?"
"I get it now!" Billie exclaimed. He didn't bother to tell Ashley what he was going to do.

Billie grabbed some of the boxes that were marked Jamie's Room. Jamie stood on her bed, hanging a picture of her, Ashley and Jason above her bed. Billie closed the door after him. Jamie was completely oblivious to him.
"Hi" said Billie, making her jump, "I'm sorry".
"I can tell," replied Jamie as she walked over to get some more pictures from the box that Billie brought in to her.
"Are we gonna be Boyfriend and Girlfriend again?" asked Billie nervously.
"Haven't decided." she replied. She hung up the picture and walked over to Billie.
"Please? I love you." he said. A tear was forming in his eyes.
"But if I got back together with you then it wouldn't be two people in the relationship." she replied, hiding the fact that there were tears in her eyes aswell.
"Why? Are you pregnant like Ashley? Because we DID use protection." Billie asked sarcastically.
"No! It would end up being me, you and Adie. How do I know you won't try to get back together with her again?" she asked.
"I won't.......I promise," Replied Billie as he tried to hug her. Jamie didn't hug him back. She wasn't convinced. She walked over to the wardrobe where all of her new clothes were.
"Looks like you apologised in more ways than one." smirked Jamie as she showed him all of the clothes that he'd bought her.
"Wow, you and Ashley must have had a big shopping spree. Where'd ya get the money cuz all of this must have cost abut $300?"Billie sounded surprised.
"You paid for it, Billie."replied Jamie. As she threw his wallet back to him. He laughed, trying to lighten the mood. It worked. She laughed when he realised that he only had $4 left in his wallet. Soon they were hysterical. It looked like they were going to be buddies again. When Jamie threw her pillow at Billie it started a huge pillow fight. Soon there were feathers everywhere.
"Mother Fucker! That was my favorite pillow!"cried Jamie through more hysterical giggles. Billie pinned her down by the wrists.
"Wahoo, Billie is victorious!" cried Billie as he won the fight. Jamie laughed as she wrapped her arms around his neck. They had a passionate kiss. They knew they were back together, as Billie took away Jamie's shirt......

Mike and Tré walked back into the apartment with coffee and sandwiches. Ashley came into the room to get her coffee.
"These are for Billie and Jamie."said Mike handing two coffees to Ashley, "Will you take them to them?"
"Sure," replied Ashley as she took the coffees. Walking towards the door, she heard Tré shouting Orange Mocha Frappachino. She rolled her eyes. She opened Jamie's door, saw what was happening and put the coffees on the vanity table by the door. Stifling a giggle, she walked towards the sofa where Tré and Mike were sitting. She collapsed, laughing on the sofa.
"What?" asked Tré as he tried to calm her.
"Looks, to me, like Billie and Jamie are back together." she said between laughs. Mike and Tré looked confused. "Take a look in Jamie's bedroom if you're confused". Tré realised what she meant.
"Wow, free porn!!" he cried. As he got up and started running towards Jamie's bedroom. Ashley grabbed his shirt.
"Get...down," she said as she grabbed his shirt and pulled him back onto the sofa. Tré pouted.
"Hey guys!" Ashley cried happily as the band walked into the apartment.
