Jovie Ramone was just finishing up packing up and getting ready to leave her house in Berkeley when the phone rang.
"I'll get it, it's probably Gerard!" shouted Roxie from upstairs.
"Thanks sis," said Jovie calmly, folding her clothes and putting them in her suitcase.
Just then Roxie walked down the stairs holding the phone in tow, and looking very confused.
"It's for you."
"Who is it?" asked Jovie, confused.
Roxie just shrugged her shoulders and walked upstairs.
"Hello," replied Jovie cautiously.
"Is this Jovie Ramone?"
"Might be. Who is this?"
"Don't tell me you don't remember your old pal from Lookout!"
"Lawrence Livermore?"
"That would be correct. How are you today Jovie?"
"Peachy, thanks. How are you?"
"Well to be perfectly honest, not so good. There is a rumor going around and the reason I called is because I want you to clarify it it's true or not. Reason being that I called you was because you went on tour with our boys. So maybe you can be of some assistence."
Jovie shuddered. Lance L. He was one of her very best friends and she had not heard from him in over a year. Ever since Kerplunk she had lost contact with all her friends in Berkeley, and not purposely. Touring had been hell, but she was not about to admit it. Especially to Lance, he would beat Billie Joe's ass if he knew what he had done to her.
"Sure," said Jovie, uncertainly, "fire away."
"Kay, " started Lawrence, "Is it true that the boys signed to Reprise records? It's probably not true, I mean, they would never betray us all. "
Jovie remained silent for a moment. How could she answer that question?
"Oh my god! Shit. Those fuck rags! Is that why you are at home instead of on tour?"
"Yes," she replied weakly.
"Those bastards! His friends at Gilman are not going to be happy about this. I know I'm not."
"Lawrence?"
"What's up Jovs?"
Jovie smiled. Same old Lance. "I wasn't. Me and Zooey had to leave, we were probably the most hurt by it I think. 'Cause of all we had been through together."
Her voice started to break. "Is that the only reason you called? 'Cause me and Zooey are packing to get out of here."
"You guys are leaving because of those pricks?"
"Yep. There really isn't anything else to do here now. No offense, I'll keep in touch and everything."
Lance took a deep breath. "I need you and Zooey to come down to the station, I have something to tell you guys."
"Kay, I'll be there as soon as I can. And Lance?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't tell anyone that you heard it from me okay?"
"Course. Thanks Jovs."
And they hung up.
"I'll get it, it's probably Gerard!" shouted Roxie from upstairs.
"Thanks sis," said Jovie calmly, folding her clothes and putting them in her suitcase.
