*Adrianne's p.v.o*
Okay, so I know Billie Joe has a job that he has to do, but he's never home. It makes my life hard, because I married him so we could have a life together. But he's always too busy to be at home with me and the boys.
We met in 1990, in Minneapolis, at one of his gigs, and we got married in 1994, the same year Green day's first album Dookie came out. Since then all I do is sit around and wait for him to get home! We have two sons together, Joey, who is 9, and Jakob, who is 6. They miss their dad, because for the last who knows how long, Billie Joe has been at the fucking studio recording some stupid record.
This morning I yelled at him for never being here.
"Billie, are you ever going to finish this album? The kids miss you. I miss you," I said.
"Adie, I'm working. You know that. This album might go somewhere. Don't you want me to be successful?" he said.
"Billie, you already are successful! Green Day has been around for 10 fucking years!"
"Adie calm down. I'm almost finished with the record. I mean, American Idiot will be out soon and we can be together."
"That's what you say now. But then there is the tour, and the shows, and god knows what else. But you listen to me Billie Joe, if you don't start spending some time at home, I'm leaving."
*Billie Joe's p.o.v*
I think Adie's a little ticked at me. I haven't been home much these last few weeks, but the album is set to come out in like a week. We got into a bit of an argument this morning. Okay, she's completely right, I need to spend more time with my kids. I missed Jakob's birthday party because I had to meet with my agent. Adie almost through me out for that one.
Jakob forgave me, but Joey is on his mother's side. I bought him a turtle, but Adie yelled at me for that too. I can't win with her, she's always mad at me. I think this marriage is going down the drain. Besides the fact that I've got a crush on this girl at the office where our agent meets with us. I know that's bad but she's pretty and she is nice to me. She's like the agents secretary I think, but she has really blue eyes, and brown hair, and she is just really nice.
Our boss isn't here yet, so we're sitting in the lobby with his secretary. She keeps looking at me with those eyes of hers. I'm trying not to look back at her 'cause I'm still married to Adie.
This morning at home, Adie threatened to leave me. She started crying when I said that it was going no where anyways. That was a stupid thing to say to my wife of ten years. I mean I love her and all, but we changed after Joey was born. She wasn't the same woman I met in Minneapolis.
"Mr. Armstrong, would you like some more coffee? I think it might be a little bit longer before John gets here," Jacie, the secretary asks me.
"Sure. That would be great," I say.
"Okay, how about your friends?"
"No thanks," says Mike, our bassist.
"Uhhhh, do you have any chickens?" Tre, the drummer, asks.
"Sorry dear. We don't have Chickens here. Do you want coffee?" Jacie asks again.
"Nah. I'm good on coffee, but I'm running low on chicken, sure you don't have any?"
"Positive. So one cup of coffee, for Bill...sorry, Mr. Armstrong?"
"You can call me Billie. Don't worry hon," I say. She nods her head and walks away.
*Jacie's p.o.v.*
He's so damn cute. I can't help myself from looking, and he's the sweetest guy, it's really too bad he's married. I think I'm falling in love with Mr. Armstrong. He's like the nicest guy I've ever met, and I don't think his wife is what he needs. he's always telling me about the fight he had with her that day. I wish he'd try to get to know me a little better, so he could see a nice girl that cares about him.
I'm getting him coffee, when he walks into the coffee room. "Hey, Jacie, I need to talk to you," he says.
"What about Mr Armstrong?" I ask, handing him his coffee.
"Billie, call me Billie."
"Okay Billie. What do you need?"
"Okay, you're a woman."
"Last time I checked. But I could look again if you'd like."
"No, I mean you know how woman think and stuff. My wife threatened to leave me this morning because I'm not home all the time. Think you could help me out?"
"Billie, I'm not a marriage counsellor. I'm a secretary."
"Yeah, but you are of the female gender, and I need help with a female."
"Okay, what did you say?"
"I said that the marriage was going nowhere, and she started crying and ran away," he says like he'd done nothing wrong.
"Well, no offence but that was stupid. When a woman is in that situation, she wants to be stopped or argued with, not told she's right," I say.
"Yeah, I knew it was stupid the minute I said that. What do I do?"
"Nothing. You fucked it up. I say, by the time you get home, her shit will be out of the house, and she'll be gone."
*Billie's p.o.v.*
Jacie was right, when i got home this evening, I found a note on my bed from Adie, saying that, if the relationship was going nowhere she was going to finish it. What the fuck am I supposed to do now? She took the kids, and all of her stuff. I'm really fucking stupid, I lost some one nice because of my big stupid mouth.
Jacie gave me her personal phone number, I guess I'll call her. I dial her number and wait for an answer with anticipation. "Hello," she says on the other line.
"Hey Jacie. It's Billie Joe," I say stupidly.
"Billie, I didn't think you would call tonight. I was just going to take a quick bath... wait, you probably didn't want to know that part," she says softly.
"No, not really," I lie. In my head I'm thinking that she could use one of my bathtubs with me in it. Then I realize how much of a pig I'm being and stop thinking that.
"Billie, you still there?" Jacie says, breaking my concentration on her bathing.
"Yeah, I'm still here. Would you like to come over to my place, maybe for some dinner?" I ask.
"Sure. She left didn't she?"
"Yeah, she did. But I'm okay. Actually, I'm relived. She was always on my ass about stuff."
"Okay well, I'll be there in a bit," she says, and hangs up the phone.
