Mike's Twin - A Different Green Day Story, chapter 7

"Yup. Sure did." Michele kept her head low, unable to look Billie in the eyes, or anywhere else. It had been long enough since they had last seen each other, but she still found it hard to look at those green eyes.

"You can look at me, you know," Billie said and Michele slowly looked up. Billie Joe looked way different. His face had changed a bit, clothes, height, and his eyes were greener (believe it or not). "Different?" Michele smiled at him.

"Yeah," she said, gazing into his green eyes. There was an awkward silence, both of them staring at each other. Michele decided to break the ice. "So, you going to se the Monster Trucks or not? I figured you wouldn't go."

"Nah, I think I'll go. You coming?"

"No. Can't. Have to fill in for Annie. Sorry." Billie's face fell when he had heard her reply.

"Won't be no fun without you," he said, remembering their first Monster Truck show together. Michele had enjoyed more than him.

"I can't help it. If Bryan would let me have the night off, I would go. But no, I have to fill in for everyone and now he's trying to get me to sleep with him! What a-" Michele started.

"Jerk, loser, weirdo, bastard," Billie Joe finished. "Do you accept my apology?" Michele looked down at Billie's hands.

"I don't know yet."

"Come on! We've been best friends since we were ten! And you're going to ditch me now? After at least ten years?" Billie pleaded her with his eyes. "Please, Mish, I'm begging you." Tears came to his green eyes.

"Well, there's no need to cry over me being your best mate again," Michele said and Billie beamed at her.

"Thank you soooo much!" Billie Joe was overjoyed now.

"So, do Tre and Mike know you're here?" Michele asked mischievously and Billie snorted.

"No way! I had to wait until Tre stopped masturbating and went to sleep, and that took a while! Then I had to sneak out and start Mike's truck without him realizing! Do you think they know?" Billie and Michele laughed, Michele ignoring her customers waiting for her.

They talked until four o'clock, the time that Michele finally got to go home.

"Oh, I just have to talk to Bryan in his office," Michele explained as she walked through the Staff Only door. "You can come in and wait here." Billie waited in the corner of the foyer and waited for Michele to come out of the room with 'Manager' written on the door. A few girls walked past, getting their coats and leaving, winking at Billie Joe, who just smiled and waved back.

"Ah! Get off me!" Michele suddenly screamed. Billie Joe started to listen more carefully. He heard the sound of glass breaking and decided to go into the room. He swung the door open and saw Bryan trying to rape Michele.


Mike woke up, screaming and sweating. Michele was in trouble; he could sense it. Tre woke up from his yelling.

"What's wrong?" he asked him with his eyes still closed.

"Michele's in trouble," Mike replied, wondering why Billie Joe hadn't said anything. He looked over at his bed, but he wasn't there. He looked in his jeans pockets for his truck's keys but they weren't there. He then looked outside, but his truck wasn't there either.


"What the hell are you doing?" Billie yelled and tackled Bryan off of Michele who's top had been ripped off. Billie stood up, and looked at Michele who was frozen on the spot. "You alright?" Michele just ran out the door, grabbing her jacket on the way and going outside. Billie Joe chased after her. She was leaning against a car, crying in the rain.

"Michele? Are you okay?" Billie Joe rushed up to her and put his arm around her shoulder and pulling her closer to him. She didn't reply, she just cried and cried. They stood there in the heavy rain until Michele wanted to go home.

"Would you like to stay at my place for the night, Michele?" Billie asked as he gave her his jacket.

"It's not Michele, it's Mish." Mish looked at Billie Joe who smiled at her. He had got his friend back. "And yeah, that'd be great."

Billie Joe took Mish to his flat, where Mike was pacing around inside, waiting for Billie Joe to return with his truck. He didn't hear it pull up outside, but as soon as the door handle silently moved, Mike was alerted.

"Where have you been?" Mike shouted, annoyed that his truck had been missing, his best friend had gone and he couldn't get to his sister who he could sense was in danger. He saw Mish walk in after him. "Were you hurting her?"

"No!" Billie screamed, annoyed that he would think that.

"Are you okay, Michele? What happened?" Mike ran over to his twin and hugged her. She kept on crying. "Tell me it wasn't Billie, please."

"I'm Mish, and no it wasn't Billie," Mish managed to whisper.

"What happened?" Mike yelled at Billie who backed off a bit.

"Would you shut the fuck up?" Tre hollered from his bed. He had a pillow over his head and was trying to get to sleep so he could be up early in the morning.

"Bryan tried to rape her, but if I wasn't there, she wouldn't have been saved!" Billie Joe screamed and Mish started to cry more. "I think I can get a thanks from you and a bit more respect!"

"Is that true?" Mike whispered to his sister and she nodded.

"Billie saved me, please don't yell at him," Mish said and Mike hugged her tighter. Eventually Mike let go and faced Billie Joe who was still standing next to them.

"I'm sorry, dude. You obviously did save my sister, so thanks," Mike apologized and held out a hand.

"Forget the hand shake," Billie Joe said and hugged Mike for a few seconds. "So we're cool?"

"Yeah, we're cool," Mike said and he smiled at the same time as Mish.
