Dreams come true!, chapter 2
Billie Joe's point of view*
My heart skipped a beat as he said the last sentence. I mean Reprise is a REALY big record company, was he offering us a record deal? We stood there quietly for a moment or two, but then Mark finally broke the silence.
"I was wondering. You guys are an awesome band and all, there's no pressure but I really think there is a good chance for you out there if you sign to Reprise Records," Mark said
Me, Tre and Mike stood there in awe, taking in everything he had just said. I mean this was our chance, our chance to be big. This was our dream since we were 16. "I will leave you guys alone for a moment or two then, to think about things," Mark said, then turned and walked up to the bar and ordered a beer.
"I just hope you make the right choice!" He called at us.
Tre's point of view*
"Guys, what do we do?" I said. Mike paced back and forth for a second and Billie just stood there with a wide grin on his face. "Mike. Tre. I think we should take the offer," Billie joe finally said. We all looked at each other and shouted,"Yeah!"
"But are you sure you want to do this?" Billie asked.
"Duh, this is what we've always wanted. Lets go for it!" Mike shouted.
Once we had come to an agreement we called Mark back over to tell him our decision.
"So, lets hear it" Mark said.
"We're gonna do it!" I screamed excitedly.
"I'm glad you are, you're a realy talented band. You will have to sign a contract and everything, but we will sort that out sometime soon," Mark said happily.
Mark handed Billie Joe his card with his number on it and left.
Mike's point of view*
I can't believe this is happening! We are gonna get SIGNED!
Shortly after we left Gilman and walked out onto the breezy streets.
"WE ARE GETTING SIGNED!" Screeched Tre, who was now running down the street like a loony.
"Hey guys, this calls for a celebration. Wanna come back to my house for a beer or two? My mom is working nights," Billie said.
"Hell ya!" Tre screamed.
"Count me in," I said.
We finally reached Billie Joe's front door. We were all very out of breath thanks to Tre who wanted to play tag on the way home. We walked through the front door, Billie Joe ran to the fridge and pulled out 2 six packs of beer. We collaspsed onto the sofa and started to get pissed out of our minds.
An hour later*
"Treeeeee!" Billie slurred, "Give me a kiss."
Tre giggled in the corner. "Who wants to play truth or dare?" He shouted.
"Ohhhhh meeee," said Billie Joe with his hand up in the air.
"Okay, truth or dare, Bill?" I asked.
"Dare," he said.
"Umm, you gotta run around the garden naked!" I laughed.
Billie got off the sofa, opened the patio doors and stripped down to nothing. He started running around the garden shouting, "I'm a pretty princess!"
Suddenly the old woman who lived next to Billie (or the old hag as we called her) opened her window. "Keep the noise down!" She shouted into the darkness. She turned to look into Billie Joe's garden and nearly died of a heart attack of what she saw. "Oh my godness! Put it away!" She screamed and closed the window.
Billie grabbed his clothes and ran back inside. "HA HA HA I wish I saw her face!" Screamed Tre. We all cracked up laughing and Billie finally got dressed.
No one's point of view*
A few hours later, everone was passed out in Billie Joe's living room. Tre's foot was in Mike's face and Billie was nearly on top of Tre.
When they finally woke up the next morning, it was 8:45 am.
"Owww, my head," moaned Mike.
"Ohh I drank too much," Tre said grumpily. He noticed Billie was nearly on top of him and said, "Umm we didn't DO anything last night by any chance, did we?" Tre said wiggling his eyebrows.
"Shuddup Tre, ya sick bastad," Billie said like a rapper.
"What time is it though?" he said.
"Umm 8:50," said Tre .
"Oh shit, my mom comes home at 9:00. Will you guys help me clean up a bit?"B illie said.
"Yeah, sure man," Mike said.
Billie Joe's point of view
We tidied up all the beer cans that were all over the floor and hoovered the carpet. It was almost 9 o' clock and Mike and Tre headed for the door. "Don't forget to call the guy Mark after!" called Mike.
"I won't!" I shouted back.
With that they hurried out of the door.
I lay on the sofa for a few moments waiting for my mom to come home, thinking of last nights events. I heard a door close from the kitchen and saw my mom walking into the living area.
"Hey Billie Joe," My mom said.
"Hi mom," I replied.
"Did you have a nice time last night?" she asked.
"Yeah," I said.
"No parties then?" She asked suspicously.
"Nope," I said. I kind of half lied.
"Good," she said. She sat on the sofa and put her feet on the coffe table.
"Umm, actually mom, I've got something to tell you..."
