Runaway, chapter 3
Jade stiffened. Sure, she'd been asked this by many policemen, but in the company of 3 guys she just had a conversation with, it was just awkward.
"I...I..get beat up a lot. No one really likes me at my school, so they, uh, beat me up," Jade quickly said.
Billie Joe, Mike and Tre glanced at her suspiciously.
"I slapped a jock on the face, and his girlfriend, uh, beat me up," she explained.
She quickly smiled.
"Do you wanna tell me why your bus is really nice and big?" she asked, trying to change the subject.
Tre spoke up.
"I'm a man whore, all the rich old ladies pay me to do lap dances and fuck them, but the older they are, the more money I get. And I saved all the money and bought a big bus so my clients can think I am professional." Everyone burst out laughing.
"What is so funny?" Tre asked.
That made Billie Joe, Mike and Jade laugh harder.
"Fine, enough with this stupid business. I can get more chicks than you Billie Joe and you know it." Tre snarled.
"Yeah, cos you pay them to get laid." he smiled.
"Do not."
"Do too."
"Do not."
"Do too."
"Whatever, I'm going to go take a bath and give myself a manicure/pedicure. See ya." Tre left.
Jade giggled. "Is he gay or something? I've known only one guy who gets pedicures and he's gay."
Billie Joe and Mike laughed.
"Nah, Tre just likes to keep himself clean." He lowered his voice conspiratorly. "Although when he gets drunk, he starts making out with all the guys he can get."
Jade giggled and Billie Joe smiled.
Mike stood up.
"Hey, I'm going to go see if we're at the party yet. I can't wait for the presents." He walked up to the front of the bus.
"It's his birthday today, and we're having this humongous party at the Montage in Laguna Beach." Billie Joe explained.
Jade nodded and looked out to the scenery. Dense foliage stared back.
"Hey, I never got to ask how old are you." Billie Joe said.
"Huh? Oh, I'm 15. I'm turning 16 on the 10th." She replied.
So Billie Joe and Jade had a sweet old chat, Mike took a nap, and Tre got primped up. Before they knew it, they were at the Montage.
Jade stared in awe.
"THAT'S a hotel? That looks like..." She didn't finish.
"A place where rich people go? Totally." Tre finished.
Suddenly Jade remembered she was still in her clothes from last night and swore.
"Hey, I need to change, so can you wait for a few minutes?" she asked.
"Yeah sure, but hurry up." Billie Joe said.
Jade went in the bathroom and changed into her tight black pants, her Sid Vicious shirt and put on her Creepers. She looked fresh, with eyeliner that accentuated her aqua eyes. When she stepped out, everyone grinned.
"Nice shirt." Billie Joe said.
"Thank you very much."
As they headed toward the Montage, people started whispering.
"Is that Green Day?" one of them muttered.
"Yeah, that's Billie Joe. He's so hot. I'm going to ask for his autograph." Another one replied. The fan ran toward Billie Joe, knocked into him and fell on Jade.
"OH MY GOD BILLIE JOE I AM SO SORRY!!" she screamed. She glared at Jade.
Jade gave the fan her best eat-shit-and-die look.
"OH.MY.GOD. BILLIE JOE CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH?? PLEASE?" she screamed.
"Uh..sure." He signed her piece of paper, and they were on their way!
When they got to the party, however, a sight left her with her mouth open.
Her mom stared back at her.
"I...I..get beat up a lot. No one really likes me at my school, so they, uh, beat me up," Jade quickly said.
