Starting Over, chapter 2
Finally, one night you saw them. They weren't performing though, they were just sitting at the bar, talking. For some reason, even after trying so hard to find them, you didn't want them to notice you. But as you got up to leave, Mike spotted you and waved. Great, now you're going to have to sit with them. You give them a feeble smile and sit down on the stool next to Mike.
"Tre!" he says "What a coincidence. We were just talking about you. We never got to properly thank you for that set with us. It really saved the show."
Terrific. NOW he sucks up to you. Feeling slightly annoyed, you reply,
"Well it was obvious you guys needed some help, so I did what I could."
"John, thats our drummer- well ex-drummer- quit." says Billie Joe. "By the time we got back to the apartment he had packed up and left."
"So what are you guys gonna do?" you ask.
"Well, I guess we'll have to find a new drummer, and if that doesn't work, Green Day'll be dead." you could hear the hinting in Mike's voice. But if he wasn't going to come out and ask you, you weren't going to ask.
"Good luck with that then." you say and turn and walk out the door.
