So life can get better! (Includes Green Day and Adrienne so no teenie comments), chapter 4
Rebyl's POV
"Rebyl, wake up." A man tried to shake me awake but I'm not waking up without a fight.
"Rebyl, come on, do you want something from the 7/11?" wait I'm really confused. I opened my eyes to see a pair of eyes that look just like mine. "What the... ?" The man came into focus and there he was Billie Joe Armstrong, THE Billie Joe Armstrong. Then the thoughts of last night filled my head and I smiled and sat up. "Sure, are we almost home?"
"We'll be there around 6:30 tonight."
"That's cool."
"WHO WANTS CRAPPY 7/11 COFFEE!" Mike yelled from the front of the bus.
"I DO!" I yelled back. I heard my dad chuckle from the master bedroom bath of the tour bus. I slipped on my converse half chucks and walked out of the tour bus door.
"Hey Mike."
"Hey."
"Let's get coffee."
"Sounds good."
"Hey look a Starbucks!"
"Thank God, 7/11 coffee is horrible."
"Ha ha."
Inside Starbucks, Mike's POV
"Ummm, plain black coffee for me," I told the cashier.
"A caramel Frap for me," Rebyl told the same guy
"That'll be $8.53 please pull around," he told us.
"Mike why did we go through the drive thru?"
"Because I don't want to get noticed."
"Oh yeah, I keep forgetting you are extremely famous."
We went back to the bus and by then both of our coffee's were gone.
Rebyl's POV
"Hey Billie."
"Hey Rebyl, Come here," he patted his lap and I sat down.
"Your brothers and mom are so excited to meet you."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Right the second you get home you will get rampaged and next thing you know you will be in the car with your mom driving to the Oakland mal," he told me. Wow I had never been to a mall before. All my clothes were gifts from friends.
"Wow... to tell you the truth I have never been shopping before."
"Really?" he said as he sat hi chin on my head.
"Nope, I always wanted to but never was allowed."
"Oh your mother loves shopping. You'll have a good time with her, trust me."
I heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Billie yelled.
"Frankie."
"Come on in."
"Hey Bob," I said casually.
"Hey um, man now you need a name. Um, Jimmy."
"Ok then." Billie sat there looking at us like we were insane.
"Well I just was sent here by Tre', who was sent here by Mike, who was sent here by the driver to tell you that we got the time wrong and that we are going to be there at 3:30 instead of 6:30."
"Okay thanks Frankie, tell the guys I said thanks for being lazy."
"Okay."
"So it's 12:30 now, what do you want to do until 3:30?" Billie asked.
"I don't know. Watch T.V.?"
"You ever played a play station?"
"No... "
"I'll teach you how to play. I would say you could play with Frankie but he probably went back to bed."
"OK then."
We walked out to the playstation2 and started playing Mario Bros. I ended up giving up because I kept dying.
"Joey and Jake will make you a master at this thing trust me," he said. "Hey, are you hungry?"
"Uh, tired is more the thing."
"Ok, go get some sleep."
"Okay." I walked to the bedroom and fell fast asleep.
Billie's POV
"Hey Ho, Let's Go, Hey Ho, Let's... ."
"Yello?"
"Hey babe."
"Hey Adie."
"I was thinking, do you think Rebyl would like a shopping spree when she gets home?"
"She would love it."
"So what does she look like?"
"Me, exactly, from the reddish brownish hair to the green eyes. Everything. If wasn't a girl and had blue hair I would say she was me."
"Wow... so what is she doing now? Can I talk to her?"
"She's sleeping and I know from experience that she doesn't like being woken up, trust me I nearly had my head bitten off this morning."
"Oh, well I would love to talk but Jake is crying again."
"Ok babe love you."
Yeah Jake was just born and Joey is almost 4. Joey is better than me at most play station games.
"Hey dad." I heard a tired voice behind me.
"Hey kiddo, We will be home in about 10 minutes.
"Uh-huh. I am so, need coffee." Wow she is just like me in the morning, can't finish sentences.
She poured herself a mug of coffee ad drank some. She game a disgusted look and said, "It's cold. Oh well." She finished drinking it and seemed more awake. By then we were stopped and I heard Mike, Tre', and Frankie running off of the tour bus and to their homes (we all lived next door to each other, me in the middle.)
"Alright kiddo off the bus." I told her and she stepped off and her eye got huge. "This place is huge!"
Rebyl's POV
Oh my god! Wow. I saw Adie running out with little Jake in her arms and watched as she gave me a hug and Joey was at the door.
"Mommy, is that my big sister?"
"Yeah Joey, that's Rebyl. Hi Rebyl I'm your mom, Adie, this is Jake and back there is Joey," she said in one breath.
"Hi nice to meet you," I said and I went to shake her hand and I got another hug instead.
"Hey babe," I heard my dad say in the background. My mom gave him a kiss and handed him Jake and ushered me to the car. I got in the passenger seat and she started the ignition. I looked at my dad and he gave me an 'I told you so' face and we pulled out of the drive way to the Oakland Mall.
In the Mall, still Rebyl's POV
"Where do you want to go first?" she asked me. "Remember that your dad is a millionaire rock star and that you can spend as much as you like."
"Well I've never been shopping before to tell you the truth."
"Ok then let start at Hot Topic."
We walked into the store and she told me to buy whatever I wanted. I walked around and found 2 Green Day shirts, a My Chemical Romance Tee Shirt, a Blink 182 Tee, 2 pairs of bondage pants, a family guy tee, a studded belt, a Ramones Tee, a new pair of Chuck Taylors, and a Clash hat.
"Your total is $293.82." I looked up at Adie and she happily paid the man.
"Thank you ma'am."
"No thank you."
"Ok now where to?"
"I'm hungry, can I get some food?" I asked her.
"Sure the food court is right this way."
I got bourbon chicken and a coke and my mom got pizza and Dr. Pepper. After we were done eating we went to this strange place called Punk Avenue. They had CDs, shirts, bags, everything punk you could imagine. I got an AC/DC CD, a skull messenger bag, black and purple hair dye and my mom said she would dye my hair, a clash CD, a Ramones CD, a Sex Pistols CD and Tee, a normal black hoodie and tee, and a black girls tie with a white shirt with a skull on the right shoulder. We paid for that stuff and went into a bathing suit store. I didn't like anything in there so my mom said she would get me an Adeline bathing suit.
We went to a shoe store and I bought a pair of Nike shocks, 2 pairs of Chuck Taylors (on red and one green), and a pair of weird purple shoes.
After that it was about 8oo and we decided to go home. We walked out of the mall arms covered in bags (some were hers) and put them in the silver SUV's trunk.
My mom walked up to the house and opened the door and I grabbed a few bags and walked in. Wow, It was beautiful!
"BILLIE WE NEED HELP!"
My dad ran downstairs and gave us both a kiss on the head and a hug and ran out to the SUV and got our bags. My mom and I carried my bags up to my room. She opened the door and there wasn't anything in there, just a closet, a bed, and a bathroom. She opened the closet door and set some of my bags down.
"We'll get you a dresser tomorrow. You can do what ever you want to the room. Right now it's boring but we can go get paint and stuff. Well, go ahead and get settled. I'll call you down when dinner is ready."
"Okay"
Wow, my room. I had a walk in closet and I pulled my shoes out of the bag and set then under the shelves. Next I took all of my clothes and hung them up but put on a pair of new jeans that I got as hand-me-downs from my mom, and my Sex Pistols shirt. Then I put up the posters that I had in my duffle bag.
I laid on my bed and just drowned in my thoughts until I heard a knock at my door.
"Come in."
"Hey kiddo," my dad said.
"Hey dad." He grinned ear to ear at hearing me say 'dad' and sat on my bed.
"Your mother wore you out today didn't she?"
All I did was nod my head.
"Well here I took this to the guitar store and had it cleaned up for you. It was in pretty bad condition," he told me as he handed me my bass.
"Thanks, I left my guitar at home, well what used to be home, and now I'm seriously pissed."
"Ha, we'll get you a new one tomorrow."
"Really? SWEET!"
"Ok well dinner's ready if you want something."
"Ok, I'll be down in a minute."
I looked at my bass and it looked brand new. I looked around the room (which was HUGE by the way) and saw a guitar stand so I sat my bass on it and walked downstairs to eat with my family.
"Rebyl, wake up." A man tried to shake me awake but I'm not waking up without a fight.
"Rebyl, come on, do you want something from the 7/11?" wait I'm really confused. I opened my eyes to see a pair of eyes that look just like mine. "What the... ?"
