*1987, 4 May, California*
"I'm sorry Mom, I'm going," Mike said. It was his fifteenth birthday and he had decided to leave his mother and his stepfather behind for good. Michele came into the room.
"What's going on?" she asked, confused as she saw tears streaming down her mother's face. She spotted Mike's travel bags on the floor by the door. "You're leaving?"
"Yip. I'm out of here. I can't take it anymore," Mike said.
"Give me ten minutes and I'll have my bags ready," Mish said and ran into her room. It felt right to finally leave. She packed her bags and put her guitar in its case. She realized Mike's bass in the corner. She put it in his case and brought them both into the lounge where Mike waited. "You forgot something." She put his bass and her guitar by the door and went to get her clothes while Mike smacked himself on the head gently. Michele returned about two seconds later and they loaded up their luggage in the back of Mike's truck.
"Wait!" Their mother came rushing out the door just as Mike had put the key in.
"What now?" Mike said, glaring at his stepfather who was watching them from the window with a smile on his face.
"Before you two leave, there's something you should know," their mother began. She sighed and Michele rolled her eyes as her mother failed to speak.
"Spit it out Mom, I wanna go," Mish said.
"You two... you're adopted. Still twins, just adopted. Your real mother was a heroin addict." Both Mike and Mish's jaws dropped. After a few seconds, Mike put his truck into gear and just drove off, leaving behind their "mother."
"I can't believe it. Adopted," Mish said as she rolled down the window and let the wind blow through her long, wavy brown hair. She was planning on getting blonde streaks in it. Mike was planning on dyeing it blonde.
"Just what I was thinking." Mike smiled at the same time as Mish. They loved it when they had their twin moments.
"Where are we going?" Mish asked him.
"Billie's. He's gonna let us rent a room in his house. Besides, there's no where else to go." They drove in silence until they reached Billie Joe's house. He was watching from the window as Mike drove his truck into the garage. They took their bags into Billie Joe's house and into the spare room where there was two single beds from Billie Joe's older siblings who had left home.
"Make yourself at home. Mum's making dinner now," Billie Joe said, leaning in the doorway.
"We really appreciate this, Billie," Mike said as he opened up his bass's case and placed his bass against the wall.
"Hey! What are friends for?" Billie Joe shrugged as he watched Mish pull out her guitar. "Whoa! Since when did you play?" She placed her guitar next to Mike's.
"Since, forever!" Mish and Mike replied at the same time. Billie laughed.
"Please don't do that when I'm here." They both rolled their eyes together and the doorbell rung.
"And I can play the drums too," Mish commented and Billie Joe chuckled to himself, amazed by how much he actually didn't know about her.
"You'll never guess what our mother told us," Mike said as one of Billie Joe's brothers went to get the door.
"What?"
"We were adopted," Mike said monotonously.
"Our real mother was a heroin addict," Michele finished for her twin brother.
"Wow," Billie Joe managed to say after the news.
"Hey! BJ! It's for you!" Billie's brother yelled up the stairs.
"Coming!" Billie yelled back."You guys can come too. Shouldn't be that important if it's for me." They walked down the stairs and waited behind Billie. He opened the door to find the one and only Frank Edwin Wright III, or better known as Tre Cool.
"Oh, hey Tre. Come on in," Billie Joe said and stepped out of the way for him.
"And who is this?" Tre asked, wriggling his eyebrows up and down at Michele.
"That's Michele, or Mish. And that's her twin, Michael, or Mike. Mish, Mike, this is Tre," Billie explained to them after he had shut the door.
"Hey Michele Or Mish, what are you doing Friday night?" Tre asked Mish.
"Today is Friday you idiot," Mish replied and Tre frowned.
"Already? Wow... "
"Tre is really weird, hyper, cocky and horny, so watch out Mish!" Billie Joe warned.
"Planning on it," Mish said in an annoyed tone and Mike smiled. He knew she was going to say that.
"Mike and Mish are staying here now. They moved out of their other home today," Billie said and Tre nodded.
"You know, you could have come to my place, Mish," Tre said sighing and putting a sad look on his face.
"But I didn't, did I?" she retorted and Tre looked surprisingly at her.
"Ooohhh, she's even hotter when she's angry!" Tre said.
"Dinner's ready!" Ollie called from the kitchen.
"Shut up, Tre," Mish said and turned on her heel and into the dining room, followed by the other three.
"Hello, Tre! Good to see you! Joining us for dinner?" she asked.
"Nah, just had mine, but if you've got some spare chicken... " Tre started looking on the bench for chicken.
"Sorry, it's beef tonight," Billie Joe's mother said and turned to her children and the two new "children". "Please be on your best behavior because my boyfriend is coming tonight. He should be here any minute." Billie glared at her. He hated her boyfriend. He was always so violent and angry towards Billie Joe, but nice towards the rest of his siblings and his mother.
"You two will get to meet him! I'm sure he'll treat you just like you're his own kids! Just like I will for as long as you'll be here!" Ollie said to Mike and Michele who smiled and nodded in sync. Billie Joe's older brother got the door again as soon as it rang, revealing Ollie's boyfriend. He smiled at the three new people and Billie Joe ate as fast as he could, soon excusing himself from the table. Him and Tre went upstairs to his bedroom, Mike and Mish soon following.
"God I hate that bastard!" Billie said angrily as the twins walked into his room and shut the door behind them.
"We can tell," the twins said at the same time.
"Whoa! Do that again!" Tre yelled, overexcited.
"No." Unfortunately, the both said it together and Tre laughed.
"That is so cool!"
"Can we come over, like, now Tre? I need to get away from that-" Billie Joe began.
"You guys sure can!" Tre gave them all a huge grin and they sneaked out of the house away from Billie Joe's future step-dad.
"I'm sorry Mom, I'm going," Mike said. It was his fifteenth birthday and he had decided to leave his mother and his stepfather behind for good. Michele came into the room.
