All The Good Titles Were Taken...So We Used This One!, chapter 16
* Eight Months Later*
Billie, Jamie, Jason and Ashley were all living together in the apartment. Ashley wanted Tré to live there as well but Billie and Jamie and Billie wouldn't allow it. I wonder why? Ashley was really freaked out by the huge bulge where her normally flat stomach would be. Jason had got a boyfriend and was as happy as can be. Billie hadn't heard from Adrienne for a while, so his future was looking bright. Jamie hadn't seen nor hide nor hair of you-know-who and was starting to feel safer. Mike, sadly, had just found out that Brittany was having an affair but he had forgiven her. There had been many more incidents with a shower, including one when Jamie was scarred for life. Lets just say it involved Ashley and Tré, a shower and lots of soap. Now you get it! And there isn't much else that has happened just yet...
***
As the tall figure followed her down the street, he stopped to glance at the newspapers. His face was everywhere, and so was hers. Her and her boyfriend were described as the new Posh and Becks. Thank God for sunshades, he was hidden. She stopped outside a bridal wear shop. He looked at her expression, it was a dreamy one, as if she was imagining her wedding day. She moved on up the street. This time she wasn't gonna get away.
***
Jamie was starting to feel anxious. Was it her, or was she being followed? A guy with sunshades had been going in the same places and the same direction as her for the past 3 hours. She carried on staring at the bride dresses. God, they looked pretty. If Billie proposed... Fingers crossed, she had the perfect dress in mind. And of course Jason could help her look. He loved stuff like that. She moved on and the guy followed. This was starting to freak her out. That guy looked like trouble... With a capital T. If only she'd let Billie come with her now. Then unexpectedly and coincidently, who should walk down the street but Billie himself. She called out to him. He looked over and saw Jamie. On impulse he ran to her. As they embraced, Jamie noticed that 'Sunshades' had gone. Weird.
"Hey, I thought I told you not to come!" Jamie mock-scolded Billie. Billie pouted.
"Every minute without you, to me is murder. I had to come. Whether or not you say so." Billie cooed. He kept the real reason to himself. Not just yet, give it time.
"Well actually I'm glad you came. There was a guy that has been following me around. He's gone now, but he was. I'm sure of it." Jamie told Billie. Billie's face was filled with concern.
"Are you sure he's gone?" Billie still looked concerned.
"Yes. Anyway look at this I have to show you it." she grabbed Billie's arm. Billie rolled his eyes.
"Don't tell me... It's another shirt that has my face on it?" Billie sighed.
"No... Better!" she said as she dragged Billie along. Man, Jamie was strong at times. Her hand was hurting his wrist. They arrived at a pet store. Billie prayed it wasn't a dog. She pulled him to the back of the store. It was full of different cats. Now, this was okay.
"Billie, look I have fallen in love with it!" Jamie cried happily as she picked up a black kitten with brilliant green eyes. Billie looked hurt.
"What about me?" Billie pouted. Jamie laughed.
"Oh, don't worry you have a special place here," Jamie said pointing to her head, and then to her heart. Billie smiled. That's good enough for him.
"You know I feel the same way." He looked at the kitten. It looked like a ball of black fluff with eyes. But Billie kept the thought in his head. Don't upset her.
***
Back at the apartment, Tré and Ashley were in THAT kind of mood. Jason was locked in his room, getting ready for a date with Tony. Ashley knew he was gonna be 3 hours minimum getting in ready. What took him so long just to put on an outfit, do his very short hair and apply a light shade of eyeliner?
"Ow. Fuck. Great my longest nail and it fucking broke." Ashley swore. Tré looked up. What was it with girls and their nails? He continued to kiss Ashley. Ashley forgot about the dumb nail, and returned kisses to Tré. Jason finally emerged. Wow! 2 hours. That's a record for Jason. Jason winked, and flounced out of the door, whistling and swinging his keys round his finger. Tré waited until the door shut, then as soon as he heard wood against wood, Ashley was missing a shirt... And a skirt.
***
Jason had never been so happy. He was happy he was with friends, and he was finally in a relationship. He walked into Vallejo's Restaurant. He saw Tony and joined him. Jason was all smiles because today was their seven month anniversary. But Tony didn't look so comfortable as Jason had wanted. He could tell something was wrong.
"Jason..." Tony started, but he didn't get the chance because Jason had placed a package in front of him. "Jason..."
"I know you didn't want me to get anything but I wanted to. You know I love shopping!"
"No Jason, I have something to tell you..." At this Jason's smile was slowly disintegrating." Jason, this is really hard to say..."
"What? Just tell me, you know you can tell me anything."
"Jason I'm not gonna lie to you anymore... I'm... I'm straight."
"What?!"
"You heard me Jason... I'm not gay anymore... And I don't think I ever was."
Jason couldn't believe it. He wouldn't believe it. He's gotta be kidding right. Any second now Tony will smile and say he was just joking. Jason studied Tony's face. It was as set as hard concrete. Jason could feel the tears welling up inside him. Without saying anything he stood to go. But Tony grabbed his arm.
"Jason don't take it persona..." he started but he never got to finish.
"Get off me. Don't touch me. Don't even talk to me." Jason said, his voice as cold as ice. He walked out into the rain and started to walk back to the apartment. At least the tears would be masked under the heavy rain.
***
Jamie and Billie piled into the apartment panting heavily. They had their jackets over their ears. They had ran all the way back. There had been no cabs. Jamie jumped onto the empty armchair and kicked off her dirty converse. Billie held his nose in mock disgust.
"Eww, stinky feet." he laughed.
"Ha, ha Mr I'm-so-great!" Jamie said sarcastically.
"I can't help being amazingly sexy and clever." bragged Billie.
"Or being amazingly gullible too." Jamie laughed. Billie went behind her chair and leaned over with his head in front of Jamie's. Jamie poked his cheek and Billie's head rocketed into Jamie's forehead. The two had mutual reactions.
"OW! FUCK!" the two shouted.
At this a slightly pissed off Tré and Ashley awoke.
"Hey fuck off we're trying to sleep here!" Tré groaned.
"Well that's what a bed is for..." Billie said... Then thought about what he'd said. "Well maybe not in your case Tré. But that's what I use them for." Tré's response was his middle finger. Billie returned the gesture. Jamie grabbed Billie's arm and dragged him into her bedroom where she wanted to try on her seventh new wardrobe. Billie moaned and said that it was boring, but Jamie just pulled a face at him. Billie did the same then grabbed her by the waist. Watching Jamie show t-shirt after t-shirt after t-shirt was boring. Kissing her was WAY more fun.
***
Tré awoke 2 hours later. He had his beloved Ashley in his arms. He could feel her heart beat against his chest, and he could feel the baby kicking as he put his hand on her stomach. He took his hand away and sat up. He breathed in deeply. At the sudden cold of no-Tré feel, Ashley woke. Tré looked down and smiled at Ashley. She was still half asleep and wrapped in the blanket from Jamie and Billie's bed (they would never know). He'd never felt like this about somebody before. Ashley stirred emotions in him that he just couldn't explain. Just then Jason walked in. His face was wet and his expression was one of anger and hurt. His eyes were pink and he looked a mess.
"OH MY GOD Jason are you okay?" Ashley averted to worry mode.
"I'm fine." Jason said, coldly. He stormed into his bedroom and turned up Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) on to an ear-splitting volume. At this Billie came out with a horrified expression on his face.
"Who is playing my ultra sexy singing voice at that disturbing volume?" Billie asked looking confused. Ashley and Tré both pointed to Jason's room. Jamie had joined Billie and at the mention of Jason she rushed over to his room. She hurt her fist pounding on the door.
"Jason?" when there was no answer she flung open the door. Billie cringed. This was gonna be ugly.
"What is wrong with you?" she shouted over the music. Jason turned it down and looked up at Jamie.
"Oh nothing... I've just lost Tony that's all." he managed to say.
"How? What's happened?"
"Oh I just found out he's straight. He chucked me. You know it doesn't matter about how I feel." Jason cried. At this Jamie hugged her friend.
"Oh Jason, I am so sorry."
"It's not your fault. It's mine. He's never cared about me anyway."
Jamie left Jason for a while. He needed the get-over-him period. She went and whispered it to everyone in turn. They all went and paid their sympathies to him. Nobody knew what to say for the rest of the afternoon. Except Tré who had a good idea of what he needed to say later.
