All The Good Titles Were Taken...So We Used This One!, chapter 2
They walked back into the hotel and outside Ashley and Jamie's room, they kissed again. Then Ashley walked back into her room. As she walked in Billie was walking out. As soon as she saw her, Jamie started talking at 100 mph.
"So, is he a good kisser?" asked Jamie. Ashley blushed her famous tomato shade.
"Umm... How should I know?" he'sitated Ashley turning even redder.
"Well from what I saw you looked like you were investigating the matter carefully."
"You saw us?!"
"Well, me and Billie were standing on the balcony and you two were making out right across the street, where were we supposed to look?"
"Shit! Well what happened with you and Billie?"
"Nothing happened, we just talked."
"Guilty conscience,"
"No really,"
"I'll belive that when it's raining TV's,"
"It was earlier! Anyway tell me what happened between you and Tré."
"We just kissed,"
"I'm not blind idiot! Anyway Billie was lip reading everything you said anyway!"
"Really, so what did he say first then?"
"He said he really liked you and wanted to get with you sometime."
"Well that was wrong; Billie was telling you a lie!"
"What did he say then?"
"He said he liked me and... Umm... That's all"
"Oh come on, this is Tré we're talking about he wouldn't just say that, he'd say something dirty aswell!"
"I'm not saying anything, tell me what Billie said."
"Ok, well this is a really private secret so you can't tell anybody I told you"
"What?"
"He has just had a huge fight with Adie and he drove off while she was crying and begging him not to do this tour. He told me that he's still really mad at her. And he stared at me for ages after that."
"Wow"
"He also asked us if we wanted to have breakfast with them tomorrow, do you want to?"
"Hell yeah, but now I'm tired I want to sleep."
And with that Ashley fell asleep then and there. Jamie sighed and made some coffee. It was strange, how Ashley was tired before she was. Normally Ashley was the one who needed the coffee. She sighed again and went for a shower. When she finished she wrote a note to Ashley.
Ashley, gone out for a walk won't be gone long. Jamie xx.

Jamie looked up at the sky. It was ink black with stars dotted everywhere. A movement in front of her snapped her back into reality. The movement was a figure. The figure had a spiky head of hair. When it walked started to move towards her, she thought it might be a good time to run. She turned to run, but she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"FUCK!" Jamie shouted as the hand landed on her shoulder.
"Hey, hey it's only me." The figure said.
"Fuck Billie, don't scare me after I've had coffee. It brings out my worse side!"
"Sorry, I'll remember that next time." There was an awkward silence.
"So, what are you doing out here at this time?" Billie asked.
"I could ask you the same question." Jamie retorted.
"Well, I just needed some time to think about... You know... Stuff." nodding Jamie agreed.
"And you?" Billie asked.
"I just needed to wear the energy from the coffee off, weird I know."
"Really, when I drink coffee I need the energy."
They had walked quite a long way away from the hotel so Billie took her hand in his own and started swinging it. Meanwhile back at the hotel...... Ashley had woken up and had seen the note, she sighed and went to look out of the balcony then, heard a voice above her.
"Mexican food is pure evil!" said the voice. He started talking to a voice behind him. "Hey Tré, you got a light, man?"
When Ashley heard that name she looked up and saw Tré light Mike's cigarette. Then she saw Mike walk away somewhere.
"Tré!" She shouted to get his attention. Tré's head appeared over the balcony.
"Hey babe, was that you who shouted me?" Tré stupidly asked.
"No it was the invisible man... Of course it me! Come down I need to tell you somethin'!"
A few minutes later Tré knocked on her door. She answered the door and was greeted with a bear hug.
"What did you want to tell me?" Tré asked still hugging her. He kicked the door shut with his foot.
"Can't breathe," Ashley choked. Tré let go of her, and kissed her cheek.
"That's better. Well anyway, you know before when we went for a coffee. Well we were being watched."
"Who by?" Tré said from the inside of the mini-fridge.
"Two words... Billie... Joe."
"And?" Tré emerged from the fridge, clutching a banana.
"Dosen't that bother you? Personally I don't like being watched."
"Okay let's see him watch this." Ashley's face went from anger to confusion. But that disappeared when Tré started kissing her. After that one thing leads to another...

"Penny for your thoughts?" Billie said after the awful silence. Jamie looked up.
"Oh nothing. Just you know I'm just you know thinking about nothing and everything all at once... Wait that sounds cheesy sorry." Jamie gabbled. Billie laughed.
"Nah s'okay, sounds like the line from Basket Case."
"That's cuz I sing that song all the time it sticks in my head."
"I guess you like that song huh?"
"Whaddya mean like? I LOVE that song!" Jamie said happily.
"Really why?"
"I guess cuz I can relate to it. Cuz I really do think I'm cracking up. Maybe not the second verse obviously." Jamie coughed loudly.
"What d'you think you're a Basket Case?"
"Yeah, well yeah and no, I guess cuz of what I've been through in my life... Oops I've said too much."
"No you haven't, you haven't told me what you've been through, and you don't have to."
"I won't tell you unless you want to know." Jamie said quietly. Billie nodded.
"We'll save it for another time eh?" Billie smiled. He stopped and looked around. He saw a bench and went over. They sat down. Billie placed his arm around her shoulder. He turned her head so that she could look into his eyes. She never noticed before but Jamie saw a power in Billie's eyes that she'd never seen before. He stroked her cheek. Her head dropped to Billie's shoulder. Billie kissed her forehead. The two sat there in the now peaceful silence. Then Billie lifted her head softly by the chin and tenderly kissed her. They stood up, and walked (hand in hand) back to the hotel.
***
They arrived outside Jamie and Ashley's room, but from what they heard, their intrusion wasn't going to get a warm welcome. So Billie offered Jamie that she could crash on Billie's sofa. So they walked hand in hand to Billie's room laughing at the sound of their friends screaming each other's names.
"Tré is such a whore." Jamie looked like she'd been slapped in the face.
"That's my friend he's with you know."
"I wasn't on about your friend. I was on about mine." They walked up to Billie's room in complete silence (hey you gotta have some respects for others! ), and as soon as she hit the sofa Jamie fell asleep.
"So, is he a good kisser?" asked Jamie. Ashley blushed her famous tomato shade.
"Umm... How should I know?" he'sitated Ashley turning even redder.
