Chapter 1
There were fireworks and the entire stadium went
off, myself included. It was going to be an excellent show. Green Day wasn’t my favourite band, not by a long shot,
but I always enjoyed their music. This was the first concert I’d been too in a long time, since Big & Rich. Dysfunct
was having a bit of R&R and so were the Backstreet Boys, AJ said he needed a break so the others agreed to have a year
off. I’d talked Nick into coming with me. Jennisen was there too. Taz was with her new boyfriend up in the stadium grandstands
some where. Her and Nick can barely be around each other with out getting into an argument. Jenn had left Drake with Jason
and Kev who’d become great friends. Kev and Kris had separated, permanently and I wondered if Jenn ever thought about
getting with Kev and announcing that he was the baby’s father. As the first song started, American Idiot, I grinned
at Nick before starting to jump up and down, like you typically would in a Mosh Pit. I put my hands in the air and made the
rock signal and saw Billie Joe looking in my direction. I hoisted myself up on the rail so he could see my shirt and tried
to wave him over. He caught my eye and his eyes trailed down my shirt, which read “Feel Free To Fuck Me. Oh and By The
Way, I Play Guitar” Nick insisted it was cool and I really couldn’t give a fuck. He gave me a thumbs up and winked
as he sang. I let myself back down to the ground and resumed my jumping, managing to get my phone out, which was ringing.
“Hello?” I yelled as I got squashed
up against the fence.
“Jaime?” I heard AJ yell.
“AJ, I can’t talk I’m busy”
I yelled back
“Doing what?” He asked
“I’m at a Green Day concert with Nick
and Jenn, it’s so fucking awesome” I said
“Right, well I guess I’ll talk to
you later” He said
“Bye” I replied and hung up, shoving
it in my pocket. Jennisen was jumping like a maniac beside me and I screamed and hugged her. It was an amazing atmosphere
and the music wasn’t half bad either. I got my camera out and started taking photo’s, mostly of Billie Joe, but
a few of Tré Cool and Mike Dirnt and of course self portraits of Jenn, Nick and I and a few of the crowd behind us. After
a couple of songs he started encouraging the crowd to sing after him, so we did.
“Heeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyoooooooo” He sang
“Heeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyoooooooo” The crowd
replied
“Ahhhhhhhhh”
“Ahhhhhhhhh”
“Ooooohhhhh”
“Ooooohhhhh”
“Ah, Ah, Ah” He said and laid his
hand on his stomach, sliding it slowly down his jeans as he made some really nice sounds. His eyes never left mine.
“OH MY FUCKING GOD” I screamed, going
completely off like all the other hot blooded females in the stadium. Nick was just standing there, kind of disgusted looking.
Billie Joe kept making the sounds and continued feeling himself up and I swear to god I nearly came right than and there.
He caught my eye again and gave me a half smile before lifting the microphone to his lips again.
“I THINK I’M GONNA START COMING”
He yelled and once again, all the girls went off. They sang She, Basket Case, Longview, Welcome To Paradise and Jesus Of Suburbia
and Are We The Waiting before Billie Joe appeared on stage with an Australian flag over his head, flowing behind him. Again
everyone went off and he went on about how Australia was the best and I swear to god the Screaming and clapping was deafening.
“What we’re gonna do now is start
a little band on stage. So we need 3 people, A Bassist, a Drummer and a Guitarist. First a Drummer. Who’s the best drummer
in the whole of Australia?” He asked and Nick raised his hand and started shouting, pointing to himself. I also pointed
at Nick. Billie Joe came over and bent down to Nick.
“How long you been playing the drums?”
He asked him
“13 years” Nick answered
“13? Wow, get your ass up here” He
said and the security hauled Nick over the fence. He climbed up on the stage and went over to the drums.
“Now we’re gonna give a real quick
drum lesson” Billie Joe said and I watched as Nick learnt the beat from Tré and sat down, doing it straight away. He
kept that up while Billie went over to the other side of the stage.
“Who’s a bassist?” He asked.
I told Jenn she should do it but she didn’t want to, He pulled some ugly guy up and they gave him a quick bass lesson.
“Now, last but not least” Billie Joe
said coming back over to our side of the stage.
“We need a guitarist and we need the best
fucking guitarist in Australia” He said, already laying his eyes on me. I screamed out and held my hand up.
“Her, what’s your name?” he
asked as the security hauled me over the fence and up onto the stage.
“Jaime Cobain” I said
“Jaime Cobain? Any relation?” He asked
“Yeah actually, he was my cousin”
I said
“Wow, we have an actual Kurt Cobain relative
up here on stage. Are you the best fucking guitarist in Australia?” He asked
“Hell fucking yeah!” I said and held
my hand up.
“Well, come on over here” He said,
putting his hand on my back and leading me over towards the centre of the stage.
“You know Billie Joe, you’re kinda
hott” I said in his ear. He laughed and held the mic up to his lips.
“She said I’m kinda hott” He
said. There were a lot of agreeing females. He showed me which notes to play and than handed the guitar to me. I played them,
walking towards the front of the stage and singing along as I played. Billie Joe, Mike and Tré all sang and when Tré noticed
I was singing along, without even looking at the guitar he came over and held his Mike out for me to sing into. I did and
all three of them clapped for me. When the song was over Billie Joe came over to me and stood with his arm around my shoulders,
He stole my cap and put it on.
“You’re a professional Guitarist huh?”
He asked me, holding out his mic for me to answer into
“Yeah kinda, I guess. I’m in a band”
I said
“Anyone we know?” He asked
“Uhh, maybe, Dysfunct” I said
“You have any CD’s out?” He
asked
“Just one, I Doubt Your Commitment To Sparkle
Motion” I said. He laughed and nodded.
“I’m so buying” He grinned.
I grinned and spotted Jenn cheering her ass off.
“Well I’m not sure if you need a new
one or not, but you get to keep the guitar” He said
“Oh fuck yeah” I said doing the Rock
sign with my hands again
“And you and our Drummer, what’s your
name dude?” He asked Nick who was standing beside me
“Nick” He said
“You’re not from Australia”
Billie Joe said with a bit of a grin
“No, I’m from America, I’m here
with Jai and Jenn, for a break” He said
“Well you 2 get to stage dive” Billie
Joe said
“Are you fucking serious?” I asked
“Fuck yeah” He said
“ALRIGHT!” I yelled.
“Jaime how about you go first” He
said
“Yeah” I said and followed him back
to just in front of the drums.
“Jump, jump, jump” He started chanting
and soon the crowd was too. I pulled up my pants a bit and started running, leaping off the stage and twisting in the air
so I landed on my back, with a lot of hands holding me up and I was passed around, Nick jumped as well and we were passed
around until we got back to the security who pulled us down and helped us get back to where we were. One security guard handed
me a slip of paper and I opened it, I caught 3 laminated plastic passes before they fell and started screaming and jumping.
He’d given us 3 backstage passes. I gave one each to Nick and Jenn and we put them on, covering them with our shirts.
Billie Joe kept looking at me for the rest of the concert and I couldn’t help but look back. He was hott. Billie Joe
went off to the side of the stage and came back carrying a stubbie of VB. We all went off as he skulled it. He only had half
and winked at me before passing it down. I downed the rest and held it up. He cheered and laughed when I put the bottle in
my bag. Towards the end of the show he started talking again, he had a sexy voice, singing or speaking.
“This is supposed to be our last song, but
fuck it, I could sing for the entire night, I don’t give a shit” He said. We all cheered. They played for another
half hour before they finished up. As the stadium lights came on, I pulled out the piece of paper he gave me and opened it.
“Meet you and you’re friends backstage,
show the security your passes” I read aloud and looked at Nick and Jenn.
“Let’s fucking go” Nick said.
I called one of the security over and we showed him our passes. He helped us over the fence and led us backstage, where Billie
Joe, Tré and Mike as well as their roadies were cheering about such a great show.
“Alright, you came” Billie Joe said
handing each of us a VB.
“You are a fucking legend, bringing a VB
out on stage, dude, they all fucking loved you guys” I said. He was still wearing my cap.
“Fuck yeah” He said
“That was such a fucking fantastic show”
Nick said
“Glad you all liked it” He said, leading
us over to where Tré and Mike were now talking with some of their crew.
“So you’re the one who caught BJ’s
eyes” Said Tré eyeing me
“Kinda hard not to miss this dontcha think?”
I asked pointing to my shirt
“What part did you like the most?”
Mike asked after they’d all had a laugh
“Fuck, I loved all of it” I said.
Jenn and Nick agreed
“Any particular part?” Tré asked nudging
Billie Joe who was just standing there listening and drinking his VB
“You mean did I cream myself when Billie
Joe felt himself up? I’m sure you’d be hard pressed to find a female who didn’t” I said with a grin
“Oh Jesus Christ that was Hott” Jenn
gushed. Billie Joe smiled but kept quiet.
“So is it you 3 in the band?” Mike
asked
“No, Jennisen and I are, but Tara, the 3rd
member she actually didn’t get Idiot Zone tickets and was up in the grandstand” I said
“Shame, would’ve liked to hear the
3 of you play” Billie Joe said
“Well sucked in” I said. The 3 of
them laughed.
“It sounds like there’s still a heap
of people out there” Nick said
“Well let’s go see” Billie Joe
said and started walking towards the stage. He looked so hott, covered in sweat. We all followed and emerged on the stage.
Nick was right, there were still a shit load of people in the stadium, not many people were facing the stage.
“You know any Green Day Songs?” Billie
Joe asked me
“A few, Hitchin’ A Ride, Brain Stew
and Geek Stink Breath” I said
“Do you 2 know them?” He asked Nick
and Jenn
“Sure do” Jenn said
“Yeah” Nick said
“Play” He said
“Right now?” Nick asked
“Why not?” Tré asked with a grin
“It’s not like you’ll be recognised
here Nicky” I said to him quietly
“Yeah but do you know how angry Kev will
get” He asked
“Fuck Kev both groups are taking a break,
as far as I’m concerned I’m not in a fucking band right now” I said to him
“Alright Jai, for you, I’ll do it,
cos you’re a good root and even better friend” He said
“Jenn?” I asked
“Let’s do it” She grinned
“Alright, let’s go” Billie Joe
said. We set ourselves up at the instruments and tuned them quietly while Mike, Tré and Billie Joe organised for the lights
and sound techs.
“Hitchin’ A Ride first” I suggested,
Nick and Jenn agreed.
“GSB and Brain stew?” Jenn said
“Let’s fucking do it” I said.
“You guys are right to go whenever”
Billie Joe said as the 3 of them made themselves comfortable down where the Mosh pit was. Nick counted us in and the lights
came back up. I saw everyone turn around and stare at the stage and took a breath.
“Hey Mister where ya headed, are you in
a hurry? I need a lift to happy hour I say oh no. Do you brake for distilled spirits? I need a break as well. The well that
inebriates the guilt, 1.2.1.2.3.4” I sang and went into the heavier part of the song, keeping my eyes on Billie Joe
who had a sexy smile on his lips as he drank his beer and watched. By now the crowd trying to leave the stadium had moved
back to the fenced off part before the Mosh Pit.
“Cold turkey’s getting stale, tonight
I’m eating crow. Fermented salmonella poison oak no. There’s a drought at the fountain of youth and I’m
dehydrating. My tongue is swelling up I say 1.2.1.2.3.4.” And again went into a bit of a heavy part. This time I went
right to the edge of the stage and looked down at Billie Joe, licking my lips. I went back to the microphone
“Troubled times you know I cannot lie. I’m
off the wagon and I’m hitchin’ a ride.” I sang and counted in my head before opening my mouth to sing again.
“There’s a drought at the fountain
of youth and now I’m dehydrating, my tongue is swelling up I say…. SHIT” I said and did the ‘shit’
like Billie Joe does it on the CD. There were now screaming and I wondered if they thought we were Green Day. I doubted it.
We went straight into GSB and Billie Joe was talking to Mike and Tré.
“I’m on a mission I made my decision
to lead a path of self-destruction. A slow progression killing my complexion and it’s rotting out my teeth. I’m
on a roll no self control I’m blowing off steam with meth amphetamine, well don’t know what I want and it’s
all that I’ve got and I’m picking scabs off my face” I sang, with Jenn doing the back up. I had no idea
how we sounded but I hoped it was good.
“Every hour my blood is turning sour and
my pulse is beating out of time. I found a treasure filled with sick pleasure and it sits on a thin white line. I’m
on a roll no self control. I’m blowing off steam with meth amphetamine. Well don’t know what I want and that’s
all I’ve got and I’m picking scabs off my face.
“I’m on a mission I got no decision
like a cripple running the rat race. Wish in one hand, shit in the other and see which one gets filled first” I sang
and we again went straight into Brain stew. I sang it as best as I could and when we were finished we stopped. The rest of
the crowd went off and Billie Joe, Tré and Mike joined in.
“Thank you Sydney” I said into my
mic and we started playing Hitchin’ A Ride again, as a bit of an encore. I slung the guitar over my shoulder and as
Nick got into the drums I swayed my hips and lowered myself to my knees and thought ‘If Billie Joe can flirt on stage,
so can I’ and proceeded to start feeling myself up, pulling the mic down and making some very inviting noises. When
we were finished playing we stopped and the 3 of them climbed up on to the stage and Billie Joe wrapped his arm around my
shoulder.
“You’re pretty good” He said
“Thanks” I smiled and let him lead
me back stage
“How bout I take you up on your offer”
He whispered
“Oh? Which one?” I answered, sliding
my arm around his waist and into his back pocket.
“This one” He answered, grazing his
hand across my boobs.
“Oh that would be good, but I have to admit,
it’s been a long, long time since I’ve been with someone and I have all this pent up sexual energy that’s
just bursting to come out” I murmured in his ear
“What you did up on that stage was killing
me” He said, guiding me away from the others and into a make shift dressing room. As soon as we were both in the room
and the door was closed and locked he had me pushed up against a wall, holding my hands above my head and kissing me roughly.
“You are one sexy fucking Australian”
He growled, as we started undressing each other
“And you are one hott rocker” I replied,
pulling the fly down on his jeans, noticing straight away he wasn’t wearing underclothes. I felt myself get wetter and
allowed him to lift me into his arms, against the wall. He slipped his hand between us and started rubbing a slow circle over
my clit.
“Oh god” I moaned
“Fuck I hope your legal” He stated
as he guided himself inside me and started thrusting in and out, rougher than what I was use too, not that I was going to
complain, it felt good. Real good.
“Oh yeah” He said, his voice turning
me on even more, if that was at all possible. He carried me over to a lounge and fell backwards into it. I started riding
him, hard and fast. He slid his hands from my thighs up to my breasts and cupped them, squeezing roughly, but not too rough.
“oh god yes, fuck me” He growled I
picked up my pace a little more and arched my back into him, wanting nothing more than him to be pounding into me. As if he
could read my thoughts he quickly manoeuvred us so I was on my back and he was indeed pounding into me.
“Billie, oh god Billie” I cried out
as he slammed himself in and out of me, so hard I could hear his balls slapping against my butt.
“Shit, I’m gonna cum” He groaned.
That tipped me over the edge and I screamed out as I came, him not far behind me. He lay on top of me, both of us puffing.
My phone started ringing, but neither of us moved. I reached for my jeans and pulled them over, grabbing my phone from the
pocket. Billie Joe was sucking on my neck and it felt good.
“Hello?” I said, trying to make my
breathing normal
“Jai, where the fuck are you?” Taz
asked me
“Shit, Taz, I’m so sorry” I
said, remembering that we were meeting her at the pub down the road for drinks
“Where are you?” She repeated
“Uhh, I’m still at the SCG”
I said
“Why? Can’t you guys get out?”
She asked
“Well we can, but we don’t want too”
I said
“Why?” She asked
“Because we’re backstage” I
said, waiting for her to go off at me
“What?” She screamed and I lifted
the phone from my ear. Billie Joe chuckled and resumed sucking on my neck.
“Who was that?” She asked
“No one” I answered
“Oh fuck off, who was it?” She asked
“Just Nick” I said
“Oh, so he’s with you?” She
asked
“Yeah and Jenn” I said
“How’d you manage to get back stage?”
She asked. Billie Joe took the phone off me and smiled.
“Because I wanted to fuck her brains out”
He said and handed the phone back to me. He climbed off me and stood up. I watched in awe as he went over to a small fridge
and grabbed out 2 beers.
“Jaime, tell me that was NOT Billie Joe
Armstrong” Taz was saying
“Uhh, it wasn’t Billie Joe Armstrong”
I said
“You fucking liar. It was, wasn’t
it” She said
“Taz, look we’ll be there in like
20 minutes, just hang there” I said and hung up before she could complain. I took the beer Billie Joe offered me and
took a big gulp.
“So, 3rd member?” He asked
“Yeah” I answered. He nodded and looked
at me.
“What?” I asked
“Waiting for an invitation” He said
“I didn’t think you’d want to
go out after that concert” I said
“Why not?” He asked. I shrugged and
took another gulp of beer.
“You wanna come to the pub?” I asked
“Do you want me there?” He asked
“Well, I dunno, we only just met and only
just fucked I mean, I thought you’d want me out of your life. Call my old fashioned but I thought that’s what
rock stars do” I said
“Well call me old fashioned but just because
we ‘fucked’ as you nicely put it, doesn’t mean I’m gonna send you on your way. I’d like to fuck
you again and maybe even a 3rd time” He said and smiled
“Well than you can come, it won’t
be all that great. Just 3 girls bitching and moaning and getting pissed” I said
“Well, I’ll just shower and change.
You’re welcome to join me” He said
“You know, I think I might find Jenn and
Nick” I said quickly dressing.
“Well when you go out the door, turn right
and walk straight a head” he said. I grinned at him and started towards the door. He caught my arm and pulled me against
him, so I could feel his growing erection, which I could already see.
“Are you sure you don’t wanna stay?”
He asked
“Tempting, but you gotta let me recover”
I grinned. He chuckled and kissed me roughly before shoving me gently towards the door. I went out and closed it behind me,
the big smile spreading across my face in a matter of seconds as I walked down the hall. I found where I was supposed to be
going and stopped momentarily to compose myself. AS I entered the wide area Nick and Jenn both shut up and watched me walk
in. Tré and Mike had grins on their faces.
“Well look who decided to join the party”
Jenn said, giving me a look
“What?” I said
“Where’d you and Billie Joe rack off
too?” Nick asked
“We just went into the dressing room and
talked” I said as innocently as I could, widening my eyes and opening my mouth a little. Nick seemed to believe me,
but Jenn eyed me carefully.
“So, anyway, here’s to a great show,
Mike, Tré” I said lifting my beer. The other 4 followed suit and we all clinked glasses. Nick, Tré and Mike all started
talking about the music industry so Jenn pulled me away.
“Well?” She asked
“What?” I asked
“You know what” She said
“Yes” I said
“Any?” She asked
“Pill” I answered
“Good?” Was her next question. I just
smiled. She laughed and nudged me.
“What a way to get back at AJ” She
said. My smile faded and I rolled my eyes.
“It’s been a year, I’m over
it” I said “Plus it’s not like I’m gonna go running to the press saying, oh, oh I fucked Billie Joe”
I said quietly
“I’m sorry, as long as you’re
ok” She said
“I’m fine” I said and watched
Billie Joe enter the room wearing black jeans and a black shirt with a black skull wrist band and a chain from waist to bum.
His hair was a mess and he’d applied the smallest amount of eyeliner.
“What’s up fuckers?” he asked
and looked around expectantly. He saw me with Jenn and winked, smiling.
“You really are bad” She said to me
as I acknowledged him by brushing my fingers across my chest
“I think it’s about time I lost this
shirt” I said to her taking the bag off her and going through it until I found my AC/DC shirt. I quickly pulled off
the shirt I was wearing and pulled the other on. I finished the rest of my beer and dumped it on the table.
“Ready?” I asked Billie Joe
“Certainly am” He replied
“where are you off too?” Tré asked
with a wink
“Pub, coming?” I answered
“You’re meeting Taz still?”
Nick asked sadly
“Nick, fucking say sorry and make up with
her already” Jenn said
“I think I’ll go straight back to
the house” He said
“here take the bag than” I said grabbing
my wallet out and passing it too him
“Keys?” He said
“Front pocket, platform 19, get off at Ashfield”
I said. He nodded and headed to the door. Mike and Tré said they’d come to the pub so the 5 of us walked to the pub
down the road. Billie Joe kept close to me and I wondered why.
“So are you legal?” He asked me as
we walked behind the others
“What do you think?” I asked
“I reckon you’re like 17” He
said
“And you still fucked me?” I asked
“Well fuck, the way you were teasing me
all night” He said
“Me teasing you? I think it’s the
other way around” I said
“I’d never tease” He said
“Oh, than what was this?” I asked,
sliding my hand down my jeans and moaning, exaggeratedly.
“I think I’m gonna start cumming”
I said in my best American accent
“Oh girl, don’t do that” He
said
“Am I making poor Billie Joe horny?”
I asked
“Fuck yes” He said
“Oh so you don’t want me to rub my
clit up and down, slowly and cup my tit and squeeze it. Oh god it feels so nice” I moaned, doing as I said
“You want me to fuck you right here out
on the street?” He asked. I laughed and kept walking, pulling my cigarette case from my pocket and lighting up a smoke.
As we reached the pub a few people eyed us, recognition flickered across a groups faces as Billie Joe came in behind me followed
closely by Mike and Tré. Taz waved us over and she looked past me at the member’s of Green Day who were waiting for
me to introduce them.
“Taz meet Billie Joe Armstrong, Tré Cool
and Mike Dirnt, guys meet Tara Orman” I said
“Hey, great show you put on” Taz said,
a little star struck, fortunately her new boyfriend wasn’t here because he’d surely dislike the way she was ogling
Billie Joe’s ass as he went to the bar.
“What the hell?” She said to me
“He asked to come along” I shrugged
“Jai, Green Day don’t just ask anyone
if they can come along, you must’ve impressed them” She said
“Dunno how” I shrugged
“Yeah right” she said as Billie Joe
came back with a tray of beers. We all sat at a table and talked, the guys occasionally signing an autograph and plenty of
girls tried to get their attention. We were there for a few hours before Billie Joe suggested we go somewhere else, like his
hotel room.
“Dude I just spent a year of my life in
hotel rooms, how about you come back to my place” I said
“Can we fuck?” He asked
“If you play your cards right” I said
with a naughty grin as I stood and started towards the door.
“Later fuckers” He announced to everyone.
“Cya’s back at home yeah?” I
said to Jenn and Taz. They both gave me a thumbs up as Billie Joe trailed behind me out of the pub.
“You still haven’t told me how old
you are” He said
“20” I said
“No shit?” He asked
“No shit” I answered
“Thank fuck” He said. I checked my
wallet for money and realised I didn’t have enough for a cab back home, I don’t even think I had enough for a
train ticket.
“Fuck” I said, kicking a stone
“What?” He asked
“No fucking money, as per usual” I
said
“Well, I’ll pay, what are we doing?”
He asked
“Cab” I said
“Sure, I’ll pay” He said
“Why are you being so nice to me?”
I asked him as I stepped onto the curb to hail a cab
“You’re hott” He replied simply.
I left it at that and stuck my arm out when I saw a cab approaching. It pulled into the curb and we both got in.
“126 Croydon Ave, Croydon park” I
said
“Where’s that?” The driver asked
in broken English
“Georges River Road, near the 7/11””
I answered. He nodded and we took off
“The shortest way possible please”
I said. He nodded again and I turned to Billie Joe who was watching me intently
“What?” I asked, realizing that I
was pretty pissed and therefore probably slurring. So was he though.
“I could fuck you right now” He said
in my ear, leaning closer to me
“Keep it in your pants Billie” I said,
laughing
“No one calls me Billie anymore, I like
it when you do” He said
“Mean while you never say my name”
I said
“Jaime, Jaime, Jaime, God, Jaime”
He said
“God you have a sexy voice” I said,
The cab driver was looking at us in the rear view mirror and I decided to give him a show, whether or not Billie Joe liked
it.
“Let’s see if you can keep a straight
face” I said unzipping his jeans, once again he wasn’t wearing underclothes, I lowered my head to his cock and
ran my tongue over the tip. He drew in a deep breath and I felt him rise up in his seat a little. As I gave him head, he struggled
to keep quiet and ended up biting his shirt.
“Jaime” He said. I raised my head
a little and he bent down.
“I’m gonna cum” he whispered.
I smiled and lowered my head back down, taking his entire length in my mouth. As the warm, salty liquid hit the back of my
throat, I swallowed it all down and sat up, wiping a little from the corner of my mouth and going to kiss him. Surprisingly
he let me. A few minutes later and Billie Joe was paying the cab fare and we were walking up to the small unit my sister said
we could use while she was staying with her fiancé.
Chapter 2
Nick let us in and I said hello before getting
each of us another beer and sitting down on the lounge. Billie Joe was trying to feel me up by putting his arm around my shoulder
and sliding his hand down my shirt, and into my bra, rubbing his thumb over my nipple.
“You wanna go upstairs?” I murmured
in his ear
“Fuck yeah” he replied in a low voice.
We both stood and I said good night to Nick before leading Billie Joe up to my room and locking the door. I flicked on my
lava lamp and turned out the main light. I also quickly tacked up my concert ticket and arm band that allowed us into the
Mosh pit. I turned to see Billie Joe without his shirt on and I smiled and looked him over.
“Get over here” He said. I went over
and let him peel my shirt off, followed closely by my jeans, panties and bra.
“Lay down” he instructed. I did as
I was told and watched him turn to my cd collection and start to go through it.
“I have more CD’s on my ipod, it’s
just there” I said. He went through that and put, of all things, 80’s music and turned it up a little, but not
too loud. He lay on the bed beside me and looked into my eyes.
“There’s something about you Jaime,
that makes me wanna do shit I don’t usually do with girls I meet on the road” He said
“Oh? Like what?” I asked
“Usually by now, either I’d be gone
or they would be. I wouldn’t go out with them, let alone go to their house” He said. I watched him.
“I don’t usually do this either, but
I wanna do it” He said getting to his knees and moving down my body and between my legs.
“Billie, wait” I said, before he moved
his head down towards the place I most wanted him to touch me. He looked at me with a smile on his face
“You don’t have to” I said
“But I want too” He answered
“Well, uh, no body’s ever gone that
far with me before, I’m not sure what it’s like” I said, blushing a little
“Well I guess you’re about to find
out” He said and winked before lowering his head. I felt his tongue run up and down the full length of me and was positively
amazed at how awesome it felt. He started sucking gently on my clit and I moaned loudly, clutching the bed spread between
my fists and tipping my head back.
“Billie” I murmured, closing my eyes.
He kept licking and sucking on my clit and dipped his fingers inside me. I gasped and completely lost control.
“Ima cum, Ima cum” I said and instead
of lifting his head he kept going, a little rougher and faster and I came. I felt him licking it all up and moaned, his name.
He trailed kisses up my body and paused before he kissed me on the lips. I tasted myself on his tongue, but it didn’t
bother me. He started grinding against me slowly, still kissing me and I wrapped my arms around his shoulders.
“God I want you” He murmured in my
ear, as he trailed kisses down my throat to my neck
“Well get those fucking jeans off and fuck
me” I said. He stood and stripped his jeans off before laying himself on top of me again and guiding himself inside.
“Hey, Frack” Came Jenn’s voice,
knocking on my door and trying the handle
“Fuck off” Billy Joe and I both said
“Alright, alright, I’ll come back
later” She said. Billie Joe thrust in and out, slower than before and it felt just as good. I guess he’s had a
lot of practice. I wrapped my legs around him and we moved in perfect unison.
“Oh god yes Jaime” He murmured, looking
into my eyes. I looked back, smiling. He smiled back and bent his head to kiss me. Again I came before him, but he wasn’t
much later, but instead of lying on top of me he rolled off and we lay side by side, coming down from our highs.
“Guess I should go have a shower and clean
up” I said after a while
“Mind if I join you?” He asked
“Let’s go” I said, getting up.
I peeked out my door and saw Jenn sitting on the steps waiting for me.
“best put some clothes on” I said
to Billie Joe. He chuckled and pulled on his jeans. I pulled my towel around my waist and went out of my room. Jenn stood
and grinned at me.
“The bathroom’s just there”
I said to him. He went in and I looked at Jenn.
“What?” I asked
“How come you get to root Billie Joe?”
She asked
“Cos he likes me? I don’t know”
I said
“Nick wants to go back to the states”
She said
“Now?” I asked
“Yeah, apparently he’s sick of being
around Taz” She said
“More like he’s sick of seeing her
with Jez” I replied
“Jaime, are you coming?” Billie Joe
asked, opening the bathroom door and sticking his head out. The shower was running.
“Nah, just breathing heavy” I said.
He laughed and nodded for me to come in
“There in a sec” I said. He closed
the door again.
“You’re rock star awaits” Jenn
said
“Fuck yeah, I’ll talk to you when
we’re done” I said. She nodded and went down the stairs. I went into the bathroom and saw Billie Joe standing
under the water. God he looked hott. I hung up my towel and stepped in behind him, sliding my arms around his waist from behind
and kissing his shoulder. He turned around and held me closer and we stayed like that until the hot water ran out. We both
dressed and than went down stairs.
“Nicky” I said sitting beside him
on the lounge
“What?” He replied
“Jenn told me you wanted to go back to the
states” I said
“Yeah” He answered
“Why?” I asked as Jenn got Billie
Joe a glass of water
“I’m sick of her” He said
“Taz?” I asked
“Yeah” He replied
“Because don’t like seeing her with
another guy?” I asked. He nodded
“Here’s where she’s staying,
she’s by herself tonight, Jez had to work straight after the concert, go talk to her” I said scribbling the hotel
name down on a piece of paper. He looked at it for a second and sighed.
“Go” Is aid pointing to the door.
He reluctantly stood, gathered his wallet and mobile and left.
“You know, I should really get going too,
I gotta get up and catch a plane in like 5 hours” Billie Joe said. I nodded
“I’ll get you a cab” I said
picking up my mobile. He smiled and I dialled the number.
“Can I get a taxi to 126 Croydon Ave Croydon
park?” I asked when the operator answered
“The nearest taxi will be there shortly”
She said and I hung up.
“I’ll wait outside with you”
I said
“Sure” He said. I slipped on a pair
of shoes and he ran up the stairs to grab his stuff and than he followed me out the door and down towards the road.
“Thanks” He said after a silence
“For what?” I asked
“An awesome time” He answered. I smiled.
“Thank you for a great concert and a great
time” I said
“Wish I didn’t have to go” He
said
“Well hey we’ll both be back in the
states soon, look me up sometime” I said
“So you live in the states?” He asked
“Yeah, part time in LA part time in Wisconsin”
I said
“Awesome, I’ll look you up”
He said as the Taxi pulled up. We stood facing each other for a minute before he leaned forwards and kissed me gently before
getting in the taxi and waving as they drove away. I jogged back up to the unit and closed the door, falling onto the lounge
and shaking my head in disbelief.
“Was that real?” I asked Jenn
“Uh huh” She said
“My god he’s a good fuck” I
said. She laughed.
“I might go to bed” I said after a
while
“Yeah, same, it’s like 2 am”
She said
“Jesus” I said as we went upstairs
“Good night” She said going into her
room
“Night” I answered going into mine
and closing the door. I turned on the light and saw a piece of paper on my bed. I went over and picked it up, reading it through
and than bursting into Jenn’s room. She was just getting under the sheets.
“Listen to this” I said, excited.
“Dear Jaime, I had such a good time with
you that I’m going to give you my number, I have your’s, Jennisen gave it to me. Hope to see you again soon Love
Billie Joe Armstrong” I read out
“Cool, he left you his number” She
said
“SHIT!” I yelled jumping up and down.
She laughed and threw a pillow at me
“Go to bed” She said. I went into
my room and put on my Green Day cd, too hyper to sleep. I must’ve gotten to sleep because I woke up to my ringing phone.
“Hello?” I said groggily
“Ahh, Jaime” Came that familiar sexy
voice of Billie Joe
“Billie Joe, what the hell are you doing
calling me at… 1 in the afternoon? Fuck” I said. He laughed.
“What are you doing?” He asked
“I was asleep, but, now, I’m not,
guess I should get up and do something” I said
“You could do me” He said almost in
a whisper
“I would if you were here” I said
going down stairs and passing Jenn, who was feeding Drake, Jason was beside her. I went into the kitchen and started making
coffee.
“I was gonna wait until you called me, but
I couldn’t help it” He said
“Well, I’m not complaining. What are
you doing anyway?” I replied
“We’re taking a break from sound check
while the pyro’s fix some of the fire works” he said and yawned
“Tired?” I asked
“Uh huh, unlike you, I had to get up early”
He said. I laughed and poured myself coffee, taking it out the back to where we had a table and chairs set up.
“You planning on teasing and seducing some
other unsuspecting crowd member at tonight’s show?” I asked innocently
“Just doing my part of the crowd pleasing,
though I won’t be inviting strange 20 year olds back stage tonight” He said. I laughed again and smiled.
“Shame, for them I mean” I said
“Why’s that?” he asked
“Cos you are the best fuck I’ve ever
had” I said and meant it too, Sure AJ was good, but he played it safe, going slow, not experimenting. Billie Joe wasn’t
afraid to go full force and it drove me absolutely wild last night.
“When can I see you again?” He asked
“I don’t know, when do you wanna see
me?” I asked
“Right now, god Jaime just talking to you
is making me hard” He groaned.
“I guess I could be on a plane in half an
hour and in Melbourne for your show. I just don’t have a ticket” I said
“I guess that’s easily fixed, you
can call me when you land and I’ll get it all organised” He said
“Ok” I said, downing my now cool coffee
and going back inside, dashing upstairs.
“I’ll be looking for you in the Mosh
pit” He said
“you gonna put on a good performance like
last night?” I asked
“Even better, just for you” He said
“Well I guess I’ll talk to you when
you land” I said
“Looking forward to it, I’m gonna
have to go and have a wank now” he said
“Be sure to think of me” I flirted
“No problem of that” He said
“Cya soon Billie” I said
“Bye Jaime” He said. I hung up and
started throwing clothes into my bag, making sure at least one pair of jeans and my cut off AC/DC shirt wasn’t creased
up. I quickly changed into a pair of comfortable clothes to fly in and dashed down the stairs.
“I’m going to Melbourne, than maybe
Adelaide, dunno, here’s the keys” I said tossing them on the table and snatching up my wallet, phone and sunglasses.
“Jai, why?” Jenn asked
“When a rock star calls, you don’t
ignore him, especially when his name is Billie Joe Armstrong” I grinned, dialling for the taxi and waiting.
“He wants you to go to Melbourne? Fuck”
She said, Jas looked a little lost.
“Jai rooted 1/3 of Green Day” She
filled in while I ordered a taxi to the airport. It was a big fare so it wasn’t gonna take long to get one. As I dashed
out the door I yelled out goodbye and told them I loved them. The taxi arrived not long after I got out the front and I asked
him to go the quickest way possible to the airport and said I’d give him $50 if he didn’t turn the metre on. He
obliged and we were off. In about 45 minutes we were there and I dialled Billie Joe’s number as I ran to the ticket
outlets.
“You callin to talk dirty baby?” He
growled
“not quite, I’m just trying to get
a ticket now” I said
“You good for money?” He asked
“Yeah, I have some in the bank” I
replied and asked for the 1st flight to Melbourne. It was in 5 minutes and if I was quick I’d make it.
“Gotta go Billie, I’ll see you soon”
I said. He said goodbye and hung up. I ran through the domestic terminal and found my gate and boarded just before they closed
the gate for take-off. The flight was uneventful and as soon as I was off the plane I called Billie Joe again
“you here?” He asked
“Just landed, I need somewhere to stash
my bag and change for the concert” I said
“We’re staying at the Comfort Inn,
I booked a room for you, just gotta go and see them. I also left a ticket and back stage pass at the room for you” He
said
“you’re a sweetheart” I said
and hung up. I went to the hotel, changed and grabbed the ticket before going to the concert, by the time I got there Green
Day was on stage. I found the Mosh pit and fought my way to the front. Mike spotted me, grinned and waved. I waved back and
let everyone around me think he was waving to them. When Billie Joe finished the song Mike pointed me out and he grinned and
pointed to me. A couple of girls went off. They had ‘marry me Billie Joe’ scrawled on every exposed inch of flesh.
Once again Billie Joe felt himself up and I felt my body tingle with anticipation. I thoroughly enjoyed the concert, again
and showed one of the security guys my pass. He lead me back to where Billie Joe, Mike and Tré were having a beer and Billie
Joe grinned up at me from where he was sitting on a fold up chair.
“Well hey there boys, fancy seeing you lot
here” I said, helping myself to a beer and leaning against one of the speaker boxes.
“Don’t just stand there girl, take
a seat” Tré said standing
“Hey thanks” I said and sat. He made
himself comfortable against the wall and we all talked for a while before Mike and Tré disappeared, leaving Billie Joe and
alone.
“You have a good flight?” He asked
“Mmhmm” I answered, looking him over,
again he was wearing black jeans, a chain and a black shirt with a bit of red on it. I stood and walked over, straddling his
legs, placing my beer on the ground beside us.
“So how’d your wank go this afternoon?”
I asked as he started rubbing my thighs up and down
“It didn’t, I was called back to the
stage before I got a chance. I’ve been horny since I first called you” He said
“Well let’s go” I said
“Where too?” He asked
“I don’t care” I said and started
kissing his neck and grinding against him slowly. He groaned and tipped his head to the side
“Yo BJ, we’re goin down to- never
mind” Said someone I didn’t recognise. I didn’t stop to look up.
“Kinda busy now dude, later” Billie
Joe said and slid his hands around to my bum. The person walked away and Billie Joe stood, holding me up.
“Where are we going?” I murmured in
his ear
“Back to the hotel, so I can fuck you so
hard you’ll scream and than I’ll fuck you again” He said. He set me down and took my hand, leading me out
to a waiting car. It was a struggle to keep our hands to ourselves on the car ride but as soon as we were in my room, which
we came to separately, we were all over each other. We practically ripped the clothes off each other and than, much like yesterday
he was pounding into me so hard that his balls were slapping against my ass. We came together and lay on the bed, catching
our breath and than he did something really surprising. He put his arms around me and we lay together in silence. After a
while he spoke.
“Do you have a boyfriend? Or a husband?
Maybe a fiancé?” He said
“Nah, not for a year” I answered
“What happened?” He asked
“He called out someone else’s name
while we were making love” I said
“Cock sucker. What was his name?”
He asked
“AJ” I said
“Is that why you call me Billie Joe or Billie?”
He asked
“Yeah I guess. I mean I do it unconsciously
I guess. I can call you BJ if you want” I said
“I like being called Billie Joe and Billie”
He said, nuzzling my neck.
“Well, Billie Joe, why is it that when you
could have any girl you want, you come after me” I said
“When I saw you, while I was up on stage,
I just couldn’t help but think we’d have a great connection” He said
“That’s not rock star talk”
I said, turning onto my side and facing him
“I’m not always a rock star”
He grinned
“Damn” I said with a laugh
“Right now I’m just Billie Joe Armstrong,
not Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day” He said
“What about your wife? How does she feel
about you being with me? Or any other girls?” I asked
“We’re getting divorced, it’s
just habit to wear my wedding ring. As soon as we’ve got it all settled I’ll stop wearing it. But until than,
I am in fact still married. Just separated” He said
“Good point. Why are you divorcing?”
I asked
“She’s apparently sick of the lying
and cheating. I have never once cheated on her, not even when we stopped loving each other, I was always faithful” He
said
“Who could ever leave you? You’re
perfect” I murmured, looking into his eyes. He kissed me gently and pulled away, half smiling.
“I’m no where near perfect. I have
this fucking crazy ass job, I never see my kids, no privacy. You should no all about this, you’re a rocker too”
He said
“Well, like I said the other night, we’ve
only got one cd and that’s because we’re managed by a backstreet boy and the 3 of us at one stage were with Backstreet
Boys. We don’t have the type of audience we want. We want fans like yours, with beer on sale at our shows, full strength
however, with little skanky 17 year olds running around with ‘ Marry me Billie Joe’ or ‘Tré have my babies’
or ‘Mike you can play bass at my house’ scrawled on every exposed inch of flesh. I dunno bout Taz or Jenn but
I sure as hell wanna be able to drink a beer on stage and swear my head off” I said. He laughed.
“Fan’s really have that written on
their skin?” He asked
“Yeah! One chick was flashing everyone her
American Idiot tattoo” I said
“God I wish I’d seen that, where was
it?” He asked
“Oh her ass” I said. He laughed and
pulled me closer.
“You’re an awesome person Jaime”
He said softly, kissing my forehead.
“Billie, I need to tell you something”
I said after a while
“What’s that?” He asked
“I don’t know what you want from me,
whether it’s just a root when we’re around each other, a companion for after your divorce or a lover, but I’m
not gonna let myself fall in love and get hurt again, it’s happened too many times and my heart’s broken enough
as it is” I said. He sat up and looked down at me.
“I have to admit, I was hoping to get something
out of this relationship apart from really great sex, but if that’s all you want, than that’s all we’ll
have” He said
“So this is like, a long term thing?”
I asked
“If you want it to be. We both need someone
to have fun with, talk to, have sex with. Maybe we could even go to some awards show’s together” He said. I smiled
and nodded.
“That’d be cool” I said
“Now that we’ve got that settled”
He grinned as he climbed on top of me.
“What’s your biggest fantasy?”
He asked
“Well I’ve always wanted to have sex
while I’m tied up, not much of a fantasy huh” I said, blushing a little
“Good enough for me” he said pulling
the cover sheet off the bed and kneeling near my head. He pulled one of my arms up and tied it securely to the corner post
and than did the same with the other. His cock had become erect while tying me up and I felt myself get wetter as he moved
between my legs and rubbed circles over my clit, kissing my neck, gently. He carefully slipped himself inside of me and I
tried to touch him, but remembered my arms were tied. It was an awesome feeling, not being able to touch him as we fucked.
Weird, but still awesome. His hands were free to roam and roam they did, u and down my sides, through my hair, across my chest,
down my thighs. In no time I’d reached the point of no return and murmured his name over and over, not wanting to scream
because my throat was a little sore. He came after me and when he’d calmed down, rolled off me and sat up, untying my
hands.
“Oh my god, that was good” I breathed,
closing my eyes and sighing happily. I felt his hand on my stomach and opened my eyes, looking into his. He was smiling.
“What’s your biggest fantasy?”
I asked
“Mine was to fuck someone who was tied up,
so both our fantasies came true” He chuckled
“I’m kinda tired” I said rolling
on my side and looking at him.
“Do you want me to go?” He asked
“No” I said
“If you’re tired I can” he said
“Stay with me” I said
“I can’t, not all night” He
said
“Ok, well just until I fall asleep?”
I asked. He nodded.
“Would you like to come to Adelaide too?”
he asked after a while
“Sure, if you want me too” I said
“Yeah I do. I’ll organise for a ticket
on our flight and ticket and backstage pass for the show, tomorrow when I get up” He said
“Do you want me to pay you back?”
I asked
“Nah, think of it as a gift” He said.
I smiled and looked at him. He really was gorgeous, a gorgeous rock star who liked me and wanted me in his bed, not someone
else, me.
“So why is your band taking a break after
only 1 CD?” He asked
“Well, Jenn had her baby, Drake, he’s
so cute and Taz and I broke up with Nick and AJ and Kev separated from his wife and lots of shit’s been goin on. Kev
doesn’t agree with the way I want the band to be, he’s our manger by the way. He says we should take what we get
until we’re recognised enough to completely change” I said
“And you want the band to be more rock and
less pop?” He asked
“Fuck yeah, we did a duet with backstreet
and sure it went to number 1 but now we’ve got teenybopper fans” I said. He laughed.
“We’ve got teenybopper fans too, we
swear up on stage because that’s us, we write songs about drugs and politics and family because that’s what we
do. Sure Jaime, take what you can get, but do it in your own way” He said
“How do you mean?” I asked. He sat
and pulled the sheet up over me, smiling.
“Well, don’t wait until you change,
because you’ll lose a heap of fans, change now, while you’re still new enough” He said
“I don’t even know if we’re
gonna regroup and do more” I said
“Here’s what you should do, sit down
with Kev and Jenn and Taz and tell him exactly what you want and than tell him that if he doesn’t like it he can go
jump” Billie said
“I couldn’t, he’s been so good
to us, paying for some of our tour last year, world tour by the way. He pushed for both film clips to be what I came up with,
not something different. He’s given us a lot of help” I said, yawning
“Did he also push you into what he thinks
is right for your band?” He asked, knowingly
“yeah, a bit I guess” I said
“What’s right for a pop group, may
not be what’s right for a rock group” he said
“When you put it like that…”
I said
“Do you write your own songs?” he
asked
“Yeah, except our first 2 singles were covers,
but we did wanna do that. Forever Rebel, our second single is our theme song” I said
“Well, there you go, Rebel against your
manager, be a true rock star and be true to yourself” He said
“God you’re good at this” I
said
“I’ve been in this business for a
lot longer than the Backstreet Boys have” He said with a chuckle
“17 years” I grew up with your music.
I was 4 when you first got together” I said
“Makes me feel old” He said
“Well for an old guy you’re fucking
hot and you’re a fucking good root” I said. He laughed and bent over, kissing my forehead.
“I’d better disappear before they
find out I’m here” He said
“What were you just saying? Rebel against
your manager, be a true rock star and be true to yourself” I reminded him
“Ahh but when you’re my age with a
wife you’re not quite divorced from, being found in a hotel room would not be good publicity” he said and kissed
me again before getting off the bed and pulling his clothes on.
“Let me know what’s going on tomorrow”
I said to him
“I surely will” He said
“Bye Billie” I called as he left.
I lay back and closed my eyes drifting into a peaceful sleep.
Chapter 3
I woke to find a beautiful red rose beside me
on the bed and the smell of something delicious. I guessed it was coming from the tray of food sitting on the bed side table.
I sat up, pulling the sheet with me and looked at the food, there were croissants, bagels, bacon and eggs, juice, coffee,
toast and little packets of spread. I pulled on my t-shirt and panties and went into the living area of my hotel room and
saw Billie Joe, Tré and Mike watching the TV, which was turned down low. Tré was bent over a notebook and Billie Joe had his
acoustic guitar in his lap. I watched the 3 of them for a while, deciding none of them looked like rock stars this morning,
apart from their clothes.
“Mornin fella’s” I said cheerfully.
All 3 looked up and smiled at me.
“Morning Jaime” Mike said
“hey babe” Tré greeted, Billie Joe
didn’t say anything, just looked me over.
“I got some awesome food here, that I won’t
eat by myself, you 3 care to join me?” I asked. The 3 of them nodded. I went back into the bedroom and grabbed the tray
before returning. Billie Joe made room on the lounge and I placed the tray on the floor and snavelled a piece of bacon and
a croissant before they grabbed what they wanted.
“Sleep good?” Billie Joe asked
“Oh yeah” I said. He smiled.
“Here’s your ticket’s”
He said pulling them from his pocket and handing them to me
“Thankin ya” I said, putting them
on the coffee table and grabbing the coffee, putting 3 sugars in it.
“Why you all camped out in my room?”
I asked
“The fans found ours” Mike said, with
a mouth full of egg and toast
“Damn” I said
“We’ve been talking and we’ve
decided that if you want to, we’ll give you some rock star tips and maybe help write a few songs” Billie said
“Oh that’d be cool, but I’d
have to ask the girls first” I said
“of course, all 3 should make the decision”
Tré said
“and talk it over with Kev” I said,
Billie Joe gave me a look
“Make him do it our way” I added.
He smiled and nodded.
“This might be awkward but I’ve been
really curious since Billie Joe first brought you back stage, what’s your favourite Green Day song?” Mike asked
“Umm, I don’t have just 1 favourite,
I love Are We The Waiting, Holiday, Hitchin’ A Ride, Geek Stink Breath, Jesus Of Suburbia all of Jesus Of Suburbia especially
I Don’t Care, that one rocks, Give Me Novocaine” I listed
“So, you like a lot of songs” Mike
asked
“Yeah pretty much” I said with a nod
“Well I got one of our entourage to go buy
your cd for me and jeez Jaime you’re real good” Tré said. I couldn’t help but grin.
“Thanks” I said
“I really like 24 Hours From Civilisation”
Billie Joe said
“Oh that is so hard to do live, we always
get mixed up” I said, taking a sip of coffee and bite of croissant
“And what about American Hero, beautiful
song” Mike said
“That one’s about Jenn’s sister
who’s a soldier. She was going to Iraq before she fell pregnant” I said
“My favourite song would have to Free Beer”
Tré said
“I can’t believe you have a favourite
song” I said, laughing. He just grinned at me. My mobile started ringing and I went into the bedroom to get it, I came
back out to see Tré again writing in a notebook, Billie and Mike were fighting over the last piece of bacon.
“Yesm?” I asked, answering my phone.
“Jai, are you busy now?” AJ asked
“AJ” I said. Billie Joe stopped what
he was doing and looked up at me. Mike took the opportunity to get the bacon.
“Yeah, who’d you think it was? Jai,
I love you I really do” He said
“Don’t do this AJ, not now, not after
a goddamn year” I said, going over towards the door, not exactly wanting to be alone, but not wanting them to hear me
at the same time. Billie Joe made a move to stand and come over, but I shook my head and he stayed sitting.
“I can’t live without you Jaime, I’ve
been a mess ever since you left” He said
“What am I supposed to do? Forgive and forget?”
I snapped angrily, this time all three pairs of eyes were on me
“It was a mistake” he said
“AJ, you called another girls name, while
we were making love” I said, to remind him. Tré’s mouth dropped and Mike stared at me, in disbelief.
“So you keep telling me, god Jaime you love
me don’t you?” He said
“I-I’m not sure I do any more AJ”
I said, this time Billie Joe stood and came over to me, putting his hand on my shoulder, his eyes were sad and I knew he wanted
to help.
“Oh” AJ said
“You hurt me really bad, I can’t just
forget that and forgive you” I said
“Let me make it up to you” he said
“I can’t, AJ I’m seeing someone”
I said, looking into Billie’s eyes, He smiled and kissed my head
“You moved on quick didn’t you?”
He asked, he sounded hurt and angry
“It’s been a year” I said, moving
away from Billie
“What we had was great, you ruined it”
He said
“I ruined it? You fucking pretentious cunt,
I was working when you decided to fuck some fucking whore” I said
“I went to her because you weren’t
putting out” He retorted
“Oh fuck you” I said and threw my
phone away, laying into the wall.
“hey, hey” Billie Joe said, grabbing
my arms and pulling me away. I had tears streaming down my face and blood dripping from my fists from where I’d put
a rather large hole in the wood and plaster. He pulled me into a hug and rubbed my back.
“Now that’s rock star” Tré said
and I couldn’t help but laugh.
“I’m sorry, I’ll pay for it”
I said to Billie Joe as I looked up at him
“no, it’s ok I’ll pay. Come
and sit down” he said leading me over to the lounge
“AJ’s your ex, obviously” Mike
said
“yeah, fucking bastard” I said
“You wanna talk about it? Sometimes it helps”
he suggested
“I don’t wanna dump my problems on
you guys” I said
“Hey, we might write a fucking kick ass
song about it” Tré said. I laughed again and took the juice Billie Joe was offering me. He went into the bathroom.
“We were together for the better part of
2 years, we planned on getting married and having kids. Dysfunct had just started doing there own thing, getting away from
the support band act, you know? And we were always working, making the album, writing songs, planning the tour, all that kinda
shit” I said as Billie Joe came back into the room with 2 clothes. He gently wrapped them around my hands and held them.
“And if we weren’t working I was completely
wiped out, I needed sleep or I wasn’t gonna function properly. I also had a bit of a bout with anorexia, which took
a lot out of me. I stopped wanting to make love, I just completely lost my sex drive, I was too exhausted. He was patient,
never forced me and than Jenn went into labour while I was staying with her, for a girly night, and after she’d had
the baby and we’d seen her and all that, AJ and I went back home and you know we started making love and he called out
Emma instead of Jaime and I left” I said, wiping my face on my sleeve. All 3 were silent.
“Jenn, Taz and I made a pact that we’d
finish the tour, do the Forever Rebel film clip and some promotional shit and than take a break, to sort ourselves out and
now, here I am” I said with a shrug
“I know what we’ll call it”
Tré piped up. I looked at him, unsure of what he meant.
“The song, we’ll call it Up Yours”
He said. I laughed and nodded
“No, how bout Lying Cheating Fucking Loser”
Mike said
“Nah, I reckon we should call it Backdoor
Boys Don’t Make Great Lovers” Billie Joe said, we all laughed
“How about we call it, Revenge Of The Born
Again Rocker” I said
“Fuck YEAH!” Tré said, pumping his
fist in the air. Billie Joe grabbed his guitar and started strumming it with practised ease.
“This is the story of a Rock Star, who got
hurt and wants him to burn. The Revenge Of The Born Again Rocker, be careful she’s out to get him” He sang playfully
“Who does he think he is? God’s gift
to women? I think not, he’s just a sad man who wants everything and got jack fucking shit” I sang. Mike, Tré and
Billie cheered
“He got his houses and his cars, he’s
got his friends and he got his whores but she got her own back, she’s got her dignity still intact this is the Revenge
Of the Born Again Rocker” added Tré, using his thighs and the table as his drums. I laughed and decided that these guys
were way cooler than AJ could ever be. My phone started ringing and I just stared at it. Billie Joe put down his guitar and
picked it up, looking at it with a funny look on his face. He figured out which buttons to press and answered it, putting
it on speaker phone for all of us to hear.
“Hello” He said
“What the fuck? Who is this?” Came
AJ’s voice
“Uh, this is Billie Joe and who might I
speaking to?” Billie said
“Where’s Jaime, put her on”
AJ insisted
“She’s not able to come to the phone
right now” Billie said
“Why not? Where is she, let me speak to
my girlfriend” AJ demanded
“No can do” Billie said
“Why the fuck not?” AJ said, he was
starting to get angry
“Cos, you’ve fucked her around enough”
Billie said and hung up the phone, grinning at me. The phone started ringing again and he answered it, once again putting
it on speaker phone
“You’ve reached Jaime Cobain’s
voicemail, please leave a message after the ‘fuck you’. Fuck You” He said and waited.
“Billie Joe? Put Jaime on the damn phone”
Jenn said laughing. I cracked up and took the phone off him.
“Hey Frick” I said
“Frack, my girl, how’s groupie life
treatin ya?” She asked
“Groupie life is pretty damn cool, dunno
why I didn’t think of doin this before” I said, the phone was still on loud speaker and Mike and Tré laughed.
Billie Joe just shook his head and smiled.
“I’m on speaker phone huh” She
said
“Yeah” I answered
“Well, I just called to say that Kev wants
us back in the states tomorrow, well actually he said and I quote “I want you girls back in the states yesterday”
whatcha think?” She asked
“Did he say why he wanted us back in the
states?” I asked
“Something about a new single. I think he
wants us to release American Hero” She said
“Ahh, well why can’t he come to us?
He’s the one with fucking ticketless travel” I said
“true that sister girl” Jenn said
“Fuck it, I’ll call him and tell him
to come here, but Frick before than we need to have a meeting, you guys wanna meet me in Adelaide on Saturday?” I asked
“I guess we could do that, Nick and Taz
are back together by the way” She said
“Guess, she’s over Adam” I shrugged
“Guess so, anyway you call Kev, I can’t
deal with him right now, he’s on my case about Drake and UGH” She said
“Yeah, yeah I’ll deal with him, cya
on Saturday” I said
“Tooldes chickie” She said
“C u bye” I replied and hung up. The
3 guys were looking at me expectantly
“Gotta make a call, won’t be a tick”
I said and hit Kev’s speed dial, waiting.
“Kevin Richardson” Came Kev’s
crisp voice
“hey Kev” I said
“Just the girl I was gonna call in 5 minutes”
He said
“What’s up?” I asked
“Just doing manager shit, what about you?”
He asked
“I’m practising to be a real rock
star” I grinned. Billie Joe grinned at me and stood up, going over to where Mike had put the tray and grabbing another
juice.
“How?” He asked
“hanging with Green Day, rooting Green Day,
pissing up with Green Day” I said
“Ahh, Green Day, very unprofessional”
He said
“I don’t think so, Billie’s
been giving me some real good advice. Why do you want us back in the states anyway?” I asked
“SO Jenn’s called you already?”
He asked
“Mmhmm” I replied
“I want you guys back here to release another
single” he said
“Why can’t you come here?” I
asked
“Because it’d be easier if you guys
just came back here” He said
“Well, I’m not leaving until Monday
at the latest, so it’ll have to wait until than” I said. Billie Joe smiled proudly at me.
“I’m your manager Jai” He said
“Yes, you’re our manager, but we are
ultimately the ones who get to decide what we do, where we do it and how we do it. Kev, look I love you, you’re one
of my best friends and you’re an awesome manager, but you gotta let us make some decisions” I said
“I’m doing what’s best for your
career” he argued
“Sorry Kev, I’m not coming home until
Monday” I said
“Fine” He said
“I’ll see you after we’ve all
gotten over our jet lag” I said. He just hung up. I put my phone and the coffee table and shook my head.
“When are we leaving?” I asked
“Not for a couple of hours, we have strict
instructions to stay in the hotel until we have to go to the airport” Tré said
“So why aren’t we having fun?”
I asked
“What’s fun to do in a hotel room?”
Mike asked
“well I can think of at least 1 thing”
Billie Joe said and received pillow’s aimed at his head
“Why aren’t we like at the pool? Or
down in the bar? Shit even the gym would be better than this” I said
“Well, you might wanna change before we
leave” Bille Joe said
“Yeah, I will, you guys decide what we’re
doing and I’ll be out soon” I said and left the room. I closed the door and went through my small amount of clothes,
I found my swimmers and raised my eyebrow at them, not knowing I actually put them in. I pulled them, denim shorts and a muscle
top on and went back into the room.
“So?” I asked
“we couldn’t decide” Mike said
with a grin
“You know? If I was as rich as you lot I’d
be living it up” I said, grabbing my wallet and going to the hotel room door.
“Coming?” I asked before going out.
The 3 of them filed out after me and we rode the elevator to the top floor. As the doors started opening I peered out and
saw some chick walking around. One turned around and I saw she had a pink Green Day shirt on.
“maybe not this floor” I said and
hit the roof button. We emerged onto the roof which had a pool, spa, bar and music.
“I’m going swimming” I said
to them as we stepped out of the elevator.
“I don’t have bathers” Billie
Joe said
“Wear your jeans, shit, you can afford another
few pairs” I said with a laugh as I put my wallet on a deck chair and starting to strip off. Billie Joe quickly emptied
his pockets, peeled off his shirt and stripped down to his boxers, kicking his shoes and socks off. I back flipped into the
water and came up to see Mike, Tré and Billie all in their underclothes jumping into the pool. We played a riveting came of
tag, marco polo and than had chicken fights, which was pretty cool. Than their manager told them it was tiem to go to the
airport so we got out, dried off and redressed, going to our separate rooms and packing our stuff. Billie Joe gave me some
money and said that he’d meet me at the gate at the airport. I let them go first and than waited 10 minutes before leaving
the hotel and getting into a taxi. At the airport I found Billie Joe waiting for me, wearing a cap and sunglasses.
“Come on, let’s go, everyone else
is already on the plane” He said. I let him lead me onto the plane and he sat me next to Tré before going to his seat.
“So, I’m next to you huh?” I
asked
“Looks like it” he chuckled
“You’re a really good drummer”
I said to him
“Thanks” He said. I smiled and watched
him scribbled stuff on a page. I decided not to disturb him and instead, looked past him out the window. We took off and he
closed the book and put his pencil down.
“Finished” he announced
“Song?” I asked
“Letter” he answered. I nodded.
“It’s to my son” he said with
a smile
“Cool” I said
“You got kids?” he asked me
“Nah, I miscarried” I said
“Oh, I’m sorry” He said
“I didn’t really want it anyway, I
was only 17” I explained
“I see” He said
“I’d love to have a baby and get married
an all that though, one day, not right now, I’m only 20” I said
“Any one in mind?” He asked
“like Billie Joe?” I asked. He nodded.
“Who knows? Right now we’re just crusiing
along, just friends with benefits” I said
“Best friends to have” he grinned.
I nodded, laughing.
“You know about Billie Joe’s wife
right?” He asked cautiously
“Yeah, we talked about it, I’m ok
with it, it’s not like we’re in love or anything. We’re just gonna be there for each other” I said
“I have a feeling he’s gonna ask you
to stay with him when we go home” He said
“Well, I’ll have to say no, I’ve
got my job to think about too” I said
“indeed you do” he agreed. We talked
for the rest of the trip, getting to know each other and mucking around. Tré was pretty cool. They all were. When we landed.
I left the plane before them and went straight to the hotel where I had to adjoining room next door to Billie Joe. While I
waited for them to show up I rang jenn.
“I told Kev we weren’t leaving until
Monday, he’s got the shits with me” I said to her when she answered
“Those Green Day boys are having a very
bad influence on my little Frack” She said
“Jenn, I haven’t been this happy in
forever” I said
“I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself
hun” She said
“Billie Joe and I talked, we’re gonna
be friends” I said
“I know what kinda friends you’re
gonna be” She said with a laugh
“Yeah, and we’re gonna go to awards
shows and stuff together, just as friends. So are you coming here on Saturday?” I asked
“Yep, Taz and I arranged it all, we’re
even staying at the same hotel as you” She said
“Awesome” I said and went to answer
the door because someone knocked. I opened it and there was Billy Joe. I smiled and let him in.
“I gotta go Jenn, Billie’s here”
I said
“Oh, I see, well I’ll talk to you
later” She said
“indeedy, toodles” I said and hung
up, shoving my phone in my pocket.
“Whatcha doin?” he asked making himself
comfortable on the chair
“Nothin, you?” I asked
“Same” he said
“When do you guys go back to the US?”
I asked
“Tuesday” He said
“Bummer” I said
“Yeah, cos you’re leaving on Monday
huh” he said
“Yep, gotta go abck to work since we’ve
had close to a year off” I said
“Well at least you all seem to have yourselves
under control again” he said
“Yeah” I said, sitting down beside
him.
“You got any nominations for the Grammy’s??”
he asked
“4, not that we’ll win, we didn’t
last year and that was when we actually had singles out” I said
“Who knows?” he asked
“Yeah” I said
“You wanna be my date?” He asked
“Yeah, I’ll be your date” I
said with a laugh. We sat in a comfortable silence for about 5 minutes before he turned to me.
“You checked out your bathroom yet?”
He asked
“No, why?” I asked. He stood and tugged
on my hand
“Come on” He said\
“How good could a bathroom be?” I
asked as he pulled me through to the bathroom.
“Real good” He said and pushed open
the door. There was champagne chilling on ice beside the gigantic spa tub with rose petals spread everywhere and unlit candles.
“Oh my god, it’s gorgeous” I
said, stepping in and looking around.
“I wasn’t sure if you liked this kinda
shit” he said
“I do, but Billie why?” I asked
“Sometimes I like to show a girl a good
time” He said with a shrug. I went over and started filling the tub.
“You got time for a bath?” I asked
him
“Not really” he said
“Oh come on, rebel against your manager”
I said, starting to undress. He came in, closed the door and also started to undress. When the tub was filled I poured us
both a glass of champagne and turned the jets on before I got in. Billie Joe got in and sat opposite me and picked up his
glass of bubbly.
“I’d like to make a toast” I
said to him, raising my glass. He nodded for me to continue.
“To hott guitarists with hott names and
who can have great sex. To fuck buddies” I said
“To fuck buddies” he repeated and
raised his glass to me. We touched them together and than took a sip.
“God this shit is disgusting” I said.
He cracked up laughing and spat champagne every where
“I agree, but let’s be posh for a
minute and sip our champagne” He said and promptly guzzled the whole glass. I downed mine and grabbed up the bottle.
“You ever perform drunk?” I asked,
swigging from the bottle
“Oh yeah, you?” He asked when I passed
it to him
“Once, last year, we got absolutely trashed
and went on stage, needless to say we weren’t very well the next day” I said. He laughed and passed the bottle
to me after he had a mouthful.
“Let’s play truth or dare” He
said
“Ok rock star” I said
“Truth or dare?” He asked me
“Truth” I said
“Have you ever been with a girl?”
He asked
“No, truth or dare” I said
“Dare” He grinned
“Ok, while your on stage tonight you have
to throw yourself to the ground at Tré’s drums and profess your undying love to him” I said
“What? No fucking way” He said, laughing
“It’s either that or strip on stage,
you pick” I said
“Fine, I’ll do it” he said
“Good, I’ll have to get a camera before
the concert” I said
“Truth or dare” He said
“Truth” I said
“Chicken. Ok am I the best fuck you’ve
ever had?” He asked. I stayed quiet on purpose, trying to freak him out. It seemed to be working cos he lost his smile.
“Billie, listen I don’t wanna disappoint
you, but hell yeah you’re the best fuck I’ve ever had. You actually let me do stuff, AJ never did and the guys
before that were all too drug fucked to get it up, so they had to pretend” I said
“You little…” he trailed off
“Little what?” I asked, egging him
on
“You little fucker” he said. I laughed.
“Truth or dare” I said
“truth” He said
“What was the worst time of your life?”
I asked
“Probably wheen Green Day were having some
problems and on the verge of splitting up, I haven’t felt that way since than and I felt pretty bad” He said
“My sister would remember that, I think
I was a bit young” I said
“Truth or dare?”
“Truth” I said
“What was your worst time?” He asked.
I held up my wrists and showed him, his face softened.
“When I woke up from a coma and realised
I was still alive, thank fully though I got over that” I said. He nodded and held my hands gently.
“Truth or dare” I said after taking
another quick swig of champagne and passing him the bottle
“truth” He said
“Havbe you ever had a 3some?” I asked
“Yeah, plenty” He said “truth
or dare”
“Dare” I said. A grin spread across
his face and he leaned forward a little
“I dare you to go into Tré’s room,
where he and Mike are writing a song, wearing nothing but my strategically place cap” He said
“Oh fuck off” I said
“Either that or go down to the lobby naked”
He said
“Jesus you little shit” I said getting
out of the tub. He followed and wrapped a towel around himself. I quickly dried off and snatched up his cap. He opened the
door and checked no one was around while I organised myself. I held the cap covering my lower section and my other arm across
my breasts. He followed me down the hall and knocked on the door for me.
“Oh my god” I said as Tré called out
‘come in’. Billie opened the door and pushed it open. I closed my eyes and felt the blush rising to my cheeks.
“Oh hey Jaime, you wanna come in for a beer?”
Mike asked
“Yeah, like I could hold one” I said
“Why do you think I invited you in”
He grinned.
“You havne’t finished your dare yet”
Billie Joe said. I took a breath and stepped into the room.
“I’m sorry, it’s a dare”
I said standing just inside the door.
“hey you’re welcome here anytime,
especially dressed like that” Tré answered
“Oh shit” I heard Billie Joe say and
than he was shoving me into the room and slamming the door. I lost the cap and Mike and Tré quickly diverted their eyes.
“Billie, what the hell?” I asked ducking
behind him.
“Sorry, fans” He said. Mike and Tré
cracked up.
“Come with me Jaime, I’ve got some
clothes you can put on” Tré said tossing me on over shirt. I quickly pulled it around me and made sure it covered everything
before following him into the bedroom. He passed me a tshirt and some jeans and than left, closing the door. I quickly pulled
the stuff on and went back out to the others. Billie Joe was still in his towel, I went over, opened the door and whistled
loudly, the fans spun around and I grabbed Billie and shoved him out of the room, pulling the towel off him as he stumbled
out. Than I closed the door. There was a lot of screaming and I counted to 30 before I opened the door again. Billie Joe frantically
ran in and slammed it closed. He was pissing himself laughing as he lay on the floor. I also cracked up, as did Tré and Mike.
I dropped the towel on him and made myself comfortable beside Mike.
“Guess we’re gonna be here for a while”
I said
“Our bath is getting cold and our bubbly
hot” Whined Billie Joe
“Oh I can handle this” Tré said standing
up,
“What are you gonna do?” I asked
“I’m gonna say you’re my friend”
he said
“what about me?” Billie Joe asked
“They know who you are freak, no way I can
disguise your ugliness” Tré said with a laugh.
“I gotta get back down there too”
he said
“Yeah yeah” Tré said and opened the
door, letting me go out first.
“Heya girls” He said to them
“Who’s that?” Asked one rudely
“This is a friend of mine, visiting from
France, she needs to get back to her room” He said
“Oh yeah? She don’t look French”
Said the same rude girl
“Excusee, I am from Francaise” I said
with a French accent
“You speak english very well” Said
another girl
“Oui, I learned from mon ami Tré”
I said
“Come on Michelle” Tré said ushering
me down the hall, The girls followed.
“Was it you who pushed BJ out of the room
naked?” Another asked
“Oui, j’adore his body, tu pas?”
I asked
“What?” They said
“I adore his body, don’t you?”
Translated Tré
“Oh yeah” They agreed.
“Hey, me and Mike are gonna be down stairs
in about 5 minutes to sign a few autographs, why don’t you go on down and wait for us” He said. The girls disappeared
before I could even say ‘au revoir’.
“I didn’t know you spoke French”
I said
“With a name like Tré, I gotta know some”
He said and hugged me before going back down to his room. Billie Joe quickly ran down the hall and into mine. We got back
in the bath and had more champagne.
“Who’s turn was it?” He asked
“Mine, truth or dare” I said
“truth” He answered
“I can’t think of anything”
I said after a minute
“Ask me about my sex life or something”
He suggested
“is it true that you felt yourself up on
stage to tease every female in the audience?” I asked
“Hell yes it’s true” He said
just as his mobile started ringing.
“Shit, didn’t even know I had it”
he said reaching over the side and picking it up. Memories of the Night AJ and I were in the tub flooded back and I quickly
had 2 big gulps of champagne. He checked the caller id and tossed it back down onto the ground.
“Mike” He said
“Oh” I said
“You ok?” He asked
“It reminded me of the night I found out
about him cheating” I said
“Oh babe” He said moving closer to
me and hugging me and kissing me gently
“You know it’s weird, I can think
of really stupid things I hate about him, but at the time I loved him for it” I said
“Like what?” Billie Joe said
“Like he’d never let me hold him,
he always had to hold me” I said
“And that’s bad?” He asked
“No, but now that I think about it, it used
to really piss me off” I said
“Well, you can hold me anytime” He
said quickly turning over and laying against my chest, between my legs. I laughed and wrapped my arms and legs around him.
“Can I ask you a really serious and personal
question?” I asked
“Sure” he said
“If you and your wife weren’t getting
divorced, would we be doing this?” I asked
“No” He said
“Ok” I answered. He held my hands
and kissed my arms.
“If you were still with cock sucker would
you be doing this?” He asked
“No” I said. He nodded.
“lucky we’re not with them any more
than huh” He said. I chuckled and rubbed my hands over his chest. He pulled my legs around him and rubbed them up and
down.
“I want a tattoo” I said, out of the
blue
“Get one” He said
“Scared of needles” I replied
“What would you get?” He asked
“Maybe a sun on my wrist or forearm”
I said
“Cool” He said
“I dunno” I said. His phone started
ringing again, but ignored it.
“Aren’t you gonna get that?”
I asked
“Nope” He said
“Why?” I asked
“Because it’ll just be Tré or Mike
telling me to get my ass down stairs to get to the sound check and show and shit” He said
“Well don’t you think you should go?”
I asked
“Nope” He said again
“Why not?” I asked. He sat up and
turned around,
“Because I’m horny” He said
“Well why don’t we fuck, and get it
over with” I said
“I was hoping you’d say that”
He said and slipped inside me. He manoeuvred us so that he was against the tub and I was on top of him. As I started moving
up and down on top of him, his phone started ringing again. I went harder and faster, deciding to make it a quickie. I leaned
forwards so my mouth was near his ear and started talking dirty to him.
“Oh fuck Jaime I’m gonna cum, cum
with me” He said
“Come on Billie, cum for me baby”
I moaned in his ear. He closed his eyes and groaned loudly as I felt him start to cum. AS soon as he started I went over the
edge and buried my head in his neck, moaning his name. He held me against him and we both calmed down.
“I should go now” He said to me
“Yeah” I answered
“I’ll see you at the show” He
said as I got off him. He got out and quickly dressed, blowing me a kiss before leaving. I relaxed in the tub for another
hour or so before getting out and getting out some clothes for the concert. I got dressed and decided to go for a walk, because
I still had 2 hours before the show. I found a hairdresser and went in, deciding on the spot to get my hair dyed. When I was
finished I had my naturally blonde hair on the top and than different coloured layers. I had Black on the bottom, blue, red
and purple and than my natural colour. I thought it looked pretty good. I got the bus to the show and went in, again fighting
my way to the front. Billie Joe spotted me and smiled. They sang American Idiot and than I saw Billie Joe take a deep breath
and drop to his knees in front of Tré’s drums.
“Tré, man, I love you so much” He
said into his mic and I cheered, of course I was the only one.
“I uh, love you too BJ” Tré said,
it was nearly completely silent in the stadium and I started laughing.
“I’m glad you think it’s funny”
Billie Joe said pointing to me. I cracked up even harder and had to lean on the fence for support.
“Ladies and gentleman, the only girl with
a sense of humour” He said coming to the edge of the stage and looking at me. I calmed down a bit and looked up at him,
starting to laugh all over again.
“Incase you were all wondering, that was
a dare” Billie Joe said and they went on with the concert. By now the gaurds new me and let me through without showing
my pass. As I walked backstage and saw Billie Joe I started laughing again.
“BJ told us about your dare, nice one”
Tré said
“It was either that or stripping”
I said.
“We were thinking of going to a party tonight,
did you wanna come?” Billie Joe asked
“Fuck it why not?” I said. He smiled
and we went back to the hotel so they could change. Billie Joe was putting on his chain when Mike and Tré burst into his room.
“Let’s go” Mike said. I wasn’t
sure how we were all getting there so I hung behind, trailing them cautiously.
“Come on” Billie Joe said, putting
his arm around my shoulders
“I wasn’t sure if I was going separately”
I said
“Altogether, plus, we’re just friends”
he grinned down at me “By the way, your hair looks fucking awesome”
“Thanks” I said. We left the hotel
and got into a waiting taxi. When we arrived the party was already in full swing and as we walked in a lot of people wanted
to shake their hands. Billie Joe always introduced me but no one cared. I left his side and went over to a corner sitting
down.
“There you are” Said a voice. I looked
up and saw AJ
“AJ?” I asked, standing up
“Yeah, come on, I wanna talk” He said
“No, I don’t think that’s a
good idea” I said
“Come on” He demanded taking my hand.
I looked around for Billie Joe or Mike or Tré and they were no where to be found. AJ dragged me through the crowd and out
into the backyard.
“Where’s you little friend now?”
AJ said meanly as he pushed me down into a seat. I went to stand up but he held me down.
“Fuck of AJ and let me go” I said
to him
“I just wanna fucking talk” He said
and I finally smelt the alcohol on him
“You’ve been drinking” I said
“So what if I have? You fucking drink”
He snapped
“But I don’t have a goddamn problem
with it” I snapped back. He raised his fist and was about to punch me when Billie Joe caught his arm from behind.
“You lay a fucking hand on her and I’ll
kill you” Billie Joe said calmly
“She’s my fucking girlfriend”
AJ said, pulling his arm away
“No, she’s not, you broke up with
her when you called out another girls name. Now leave” Billie Joe said, still calm. AJ punched him square in the face.
I screamed and tried to get between them, copping an elbow in the head. I stumbled back as tears sprang to my eyes. Billie
Joe was struggling to keep AJ off him. I tried again to get between them and once again and managed to separate them, only
because Mike and Tré had appeared and hauled Billie Joe off AJ.
“Jaime you’re bleeding” AJ said
reaching out to touch me.
“Don’t” I said. He ignored me
and I pushed him backwards.
“Why the fuck are you here? I’m not
fucking interested” I said, getting angry
“I just wanna talk” He said
“Well you should’ve thought of that
before you tried to fucking hit me” I said
“You know what? You’re just a spoiled
little girl, you want it all and can’t handle it when you don’t have everything to yourself” He said. I
thought about punching him, but instead I just turned around. He grabbed my wrist and than I really did punch him. There was
absolute silence as he fell backwards and landed on his back.
“Fuck you” I said and turned around,
feeling a little woozy. I felt myself falling but just before I landed I saw Billie Joe running towards me. He caught me and
I passed out.
Chapter 4
“Where am i?” I mumbled to no one
in particular, I didn’t even know if I was alone or not and I sure as hell didn’t know where I was.
“Jai, you’re in my hotel room”
I heard a voice say. I struggled to open my eyes and noticed straight away I could only see out of one. I saw Billie Joe above
me and just looked up at him.
“How are you feeling?” he asked softly.
He had bruises all over his face.
“Like I drank a bar dry” I groaned.
He chuckled.
“What happened?” I asked
“AJ, your ex showed up at the party and
we got into a fight, you got hit by one of us” He said
“Did I kill him?” I asked
“No, he’s fine, Nick, you’re
friend admitted him into a rehab clinic” He said
“Oh. Why can’t I see?” I asked
“Because your eye is swollen shut”
he said
“Oh” I said
“You pack a pretty hard hit babe, wouldn’t
like to be on the receiving end of one” he said and grinned. I smiled and turned my head away from him. I suddenly felt
ugly.
“How long was I unconscious for?”
I asked
“15 minutes. There’s a doctor on the
way” He said
“Are you ok?” I asked reaching up
and touching his face
“I’m fine, it’s not as bad as
it looks, he came off worse than me” He said. There was a knock at the door and he bent down and kissed my forehead.
“I’ll be back” he said. I nodded
and rolled on to my side, trying to ignore the pounding in my head. I heard him talking to someone and than their voices got
louder as they entered the room.
“Jaime, I’m Dr Mcviene” Said
a kind male voice
“hi” I said
“I’m just gonna check your eye ok?
It’s gonna hurt but Billie Joe here is gonna hold your hand ok” He said
“Ok” I said and felt Billie Joe slip
my hand into his.
“Squeeze when it hurts” He said
“Ok” I said and rolled back ont my
back.
“Now I’m gonna try and open it, so
I can see if there’s any blood” The Dr said. I nodded and closed my good eye. I felt the doctor proding my eye
and squeezed Billie Joe’s hand, trying not to tense up. The Dr got it open and as light flooded into it tears formed.
“I’m sorry, I won’t be long”
He said. I took deep breaths and tried to think about something else, to no avail.
“There’s a little blood in your eye,
we’ll have to drain it out” Dr Mcviene said. More tears formed. Billie Joe kissed my hand and brushed my hair
back from my face. I really didn’t like pain.
“How about I give you a half shot of Morphine,
that should relax you a little and it won’t be as painful” He said
“You got any Novacaine?” I asked and
laughed at my own joke.
“Hey, babe how bout we sing” Billie
Joe said
“Ok, what are we singing?” I asked,
looking at him with my good eye
“Holiday” He said and started singing.
I joined in and only barely felt the prick of the needleas it entered my skin. I did however feel the sting of the morphine
being injected into my blood and felt the tears slip down my cheeks. After 15 minutes the doctor started getting the blood
out of my eye. When he was done he told Billie Joe to keep an eye on me and not to let me sleep for 3 hours. He’d put
a patch over my eye and bandaged my head. I didn’t know what was wrong with it, I guess Billie Joe would tell me if
I asked. Mike and Tré came in, both carrying stuff that I couldn’t quite make out.
“here ya go” Tré said, holding out
a block of chocolate
“Oh yum” I said, sitting up.
“And a coke” Mike said handing me
the bottle.
“Thanks” I said. The morphione was
starting to wear off and the pain was getting bad, but I thought I should just grin and bare it, it was kinda my fault what
happened anyway.
“I’m so tired” I said
“No sleeping” Billie Joe said
“I know” I said. Mike and Tré sat
down and my phone started ringing.
“Oh fuck off” I groaned.
“I’ll get it” Billie Joe said
and grabbed it from the coffee table.
“Hello” He said and paused.
“Oh hey there Brian, I’m Billie Joe,
a friend of Jaime’s” He said and listened intently to what was being said.
“She’s fine, I’ll put her on”
He said and handed the phone to me
“Hey Rok” I said
“Hey sweetie, Nick just told us what happened”
He said, he sounded tired. I looked at my watch and saw that it was early morning there
“Yeah” I said
“When Nick was admitting him apparently
he was crying and saying sorry to you” He said
“I definitely can’t forgive him now.
He beat up Billie Joe” I said
“You sound like you really like him”
Brian said
“We’re just friend Rok” I said,
rolling my eye and wincing a little
“Not what Nick tells us” He said
“Since when has Nick said anything even
remotely intelligent or believing” I said
“Well, that’s true, he looking after
you?” He asked
“Of course, he’s a most gentle rock
star” I said, grinning at Billie Joe. I saw him blush, for the first time ever and chuckled.
“I’m glad he’s treating you
right. I have to go, Baylee is starting to get on Leigh’s nerves, I’ll talk to you later sweetie” He said
“Ok, love ya Rok” I said
“Love ya too” He said and we both
hung up.
“That was Brian, he’s a Backstreet
Boy, a nicer one” I said
“He seemed nice” Billie Joe said
“Why were you calling him Rock?” Mike
asked
“Oh, he was really into basket ball when
he was younger and they guys just invented B-rok, kinda like Frick and Frack” I said
“That’s you and Jenn right?”
Tré asked
“It was Nick and Brian before it was Jenn
and I” I said. They stayed and we talked for about an hour before they went to bed.
“Billie” I said as we watched TV.
He was holding me gently
“Yeah” He said
“Can we talk?” I asked
“What about?” He replied
“Anything, I’m getting really sleepy”
I said
“Why don’t we write a song”
He said
“Ok” I said and let him go and get
his guitar and some paper and pencils. He came back and sat on the bed, facing me.
“You wanna right or play?” He asked
“What do you wanna do?” I asked
“I’ll do either” He said
“Well, how about I play first and you write
and than we swap” I said
“Sounds good” he said, passing me
his guitar. It looked fairly old, it had scratches on it and stickers. I guessed he’d had it for a while. I took the
pick he offered and started playing randomly, just to get the feel of it.
“What do we want this song to be about?”
He asked
“Something meaningful, like Holiday or American
Idiot, but not, you know?” I said
“We can do that” he said
“How do you write?” I asked
“I just think and normally it comes to me,
if we’re doing a group thing we play a game, where you start off with a topic and say the first thing that comes to
your mind” He said
“Ok, well let’s do that, our topic
can be Ex’s” I said
“Heart break” He said and scribbled
it down
“Tears” I replied. We kept it up for
about half an hour, Billie Joe scribbling the words down as we said them. We came up with a fairly long list of words that
we associated with ex’s and than we started mucking around with chords on the guitar. We came up with a basic riff and
started working on the lyrics, which were ok, but not great.
The more I talked to you,
The more I fell for you.
The more I fell for you,
The more I wanted you.
The more I wanted you,
The more I realised that life with you,
Would be exactly what I wanted.
Than I had you and it was perfect,
But that was only until I saw
The way you really were.
We decided it needed a lot more work and by that
time I was able to go to sleep. Billie Joe wouldn’t let me go back to my own room so I stayed in his. We curled up against
each other and I drifted to sleep feeling his breath on my neck. I woke up to pain that was so bad I wanted to cry. I sat
up and closed my eye, taking deep breaths and trying to will the pain away.
“You ok?” Billie Joe asked groggily
“Yeah, just a bit sore. What happened to
my head?” I asked
“You mean before or after you fell unconscious?”
He asked
“Uhh, both” I said
“Before, you hit your head on a table behind
you, after well, let’s just say I didn’t exactly reach you in time. The side of your head is split open and you
have stiches” he said
“Oh, when did that happen?” I asked
“Well, I didn’t exactly tell you the
truth when I said you were only out for 15 minutes. You were actually out for half an hour, I just didn’t want you to
worry. The doctor that came to fix your eye up put the stitches in and than had to go and get some morphine to help with the
pain” He said
“Oh” I said
“You want an advil?” He asked
“I can’t take it, I’m allergic.
I have panamax in my bag” I said, standing up and swaying. I sat back down and Billie Joe stood.
“I’ll go get it, you just lay back
down” He said. I happily obliged and waited for him to come back. When he did he gave me the tablets and a glass of
water before getting back in bed beside me. When I took them I lay my head on his chest and he wrapped his arm around me.
Before I drifted back off to sleep though, I thought I heard him say that I was perfect. I wasn’t sure, I didn’t
feel like questioning him about it. The next time I woke up it was day light and I was alone. The pain in my head was so severe
I couldn’t open my eyes for longer than a couple of seconds, so I went back to sleep. I was woken next by kisses all
over my face. I opened my eyes and found myself staring into Billi Joe’s green ones.
“Hey” he said softly
“Hey” I answered, allowing him to
kiss me.
“We’re leaving” He said softly
“Oh, where are you going?” I asked,
still half asleep
“We are both going back to the States, Jenn
and Tara were here for a while and they agreed it would be best if we let you sleep, so I got us both a later flight. They’re
already on their way back now” he said
“Oh” I said
“Come on” He said. I slowly stood
up and found my bag packed and waiting beside his. He made the bed quickly and lead me down to the lobby to a taxi. As soon
as we were on the plane I laid my head on his shoulder and went back to sleep, sleeping for the entire flight.
“I got your address and stuff from Jenn
so I’m taking you home ok?” he said. I nodded and yawned. Back at my small one bedroom flat he put me to bed and
I slept for another 15 hours. This time I woke up on my own and found Billie Joe sleeping peacefully beside me. I carefully
slid out of his grip and went to the bathroom. The swelling around my eye had gone down a little and I took the bandage off
my head to see the stitches, luckily they didn’t have to shave my hair off. I re bandaged it and called Jenn who said
Kev was worried about me. I rang him and told him I was ok and said that I’d be ok for a meeting tomorrow. I was sitting
on my lounge nursing a glass of juice when Billie Joe appeared, in his boxer shorts and very sleepy looking.
“Hey” I greeted with a smile
“Hey babe” He said
“I didn’t think you’d stay”
I said
“I didn’t want to leave you on your
own until I knew you’d be ok” he said sitting beside me
“you’re sweet” I said, smiling.
He smiled back and sighed.
“I gotta go back today, my wife kept calling
me yesterday. I’m sorry” He said
“It’s ok, we’re just friends
Billie, go and sort yourself out and call me” I said. He nodded. He stayed with me until Lunch and than insisted I stay
at home instead of going to the airport with him. He kissed me with a passion that had never occurred before and left. I went
and had a shower, being careful not to wet my hair and dressed, going down to my car. I drove over to Jenn’s house where
Her and Taz were doing something. I used my spare key and went in, finding them out on the balcony.
“Hey” I said going out
“Hey there, how are ya?” Jenn asked
“Good, not as sore anymore” I said
with a grin
“How’d you get here?” Taz asked
“Drove” I shrugged. She nodded. I
sat down and got out a smoke, lighting it.
“Billie Joe, Mike and Tré have offered to
give us some tips on song writing, and rock star stuff” I said
“How?” Jenn asked
“I dunno, I guess we’ll just talk
about it all and stuff” I said
“Kev tell you that we’re having a
meeting tomorrow?” Jenn asked
“Yeah, should be interesting” I said
“Do you guys think he’s kinda trying
to turn us into pop stars?” Taz asked
“Shit yeah” Jenn said
“Yeah, we need to take charge a bit more.
Billie Joe said that we should try and get our target audience while we’re still new” I said
“That’s what Taz and I were saying
before you came in” Jenn said
“Yeah, we need to be rock stars, not pop
stars” Taz said
“True that” I agreed
“So what are we gonna do?” Jenn asked,
they both looked at me expectantly
“We need to get into the rock star image
a bit more, we’ll create our own style. One of us should be dressed up, while the other 2 should have different assests.
For instance Taz y9ou’ve always had crazy hair so you can have crazy hair and awesome drum skills, Jenn you can be the
one who’s different, you can wear all the cool outfits and shit and I’ll just be me” I shrugged
“I like that idea, except I think you should
be the one with cool outfits” jenn said. Taz nodded
“Well, why me?” I asked
“Because you’re way better at the
rock star thing than I am” She said
“Well whatever, we can work on it. Taz you
gotta practise tossing the drum sticks around and just being totally insane when you’re playing” I said
“I can so do that” She grinned
“And Jenn why don’t you learn some
cool bass tricks” I suggested
“I’ve been practising some while Drake’s
asleep and jas is at work” She said
“Why don’t you learn some guitar tricks,
like playing it behind your head or with your mouth or something” Taz said
“Hell yeah and we need to completely spontaneous,
like at the Grammy’s everyone dresses up nice with pretty dresses and shit, why don’t we turn up in something
that’s not exactly conforming with everyone else, but not completely unique either” I said
“Like we could wear dresses with like docs
or something” Taz said
“Yeah and black dresses and fishnets”
Jenn said
“And fedora hats” I added.
“let’s fucking do it” Jenn said.
After that we went shopping, I wore a loose hat and sunglasses trying to cover my bandages. We took turns pushing Drake around,
looking in nice shops for black dresses, eventually we went into an older shop and found 3 dresses that we all loved. Taz’s
had rips all through the skirt and safety pins holding the straps on. It was only just down past her knees. Jenn found one
that was a bit longer than Taz’s with a big hoop skirt. Mine had the same kind of idea as Taz’s but mine was a
bit shorter and more rips and a skull and cross bones on the back in a lighter black then the dress. We went and got fishnets,
Taz ended up with bright Purple, Jenn got orange and I picked out a pair of blue ones. Next we went and started looking for
Docs, I couldn’t find a pair I liked so I ended up with a pair of black Converse shoes that went past my ankle with
chequered red and black laces. We all went home after that. I found a letter in AJ’s hand writing in my mail box and
contemplated throwing it out or reading it first. I opened it and found 3 pages of hand written words. I started reading.
All it was, was him apologizing for what he’d done, how he’d treated me and how much he really did love me. I
threw it in the bin when I was finished and settled in front of the tv for a while. My mobile started ringing and I picked
it up, not bothering to check caller id.
“Yeah?” I asked
“Hey” came Tré’s voice
“Tré, what’s doin?” I asked
“Nothin, just wondering if you girls were
going to the Grammy’s” He said
“Hell yeah, we’re performing”
I said
“Good stuff, and are Dysfunct going to accompany
Green Day or have you already made arrangements?” he asked
“Well Jenn is taking Jas, but sure Green
Day and Dysfunct can go together” I said
“She said yes BJ” He called out
“Dude, fuck up” Billie said. I laughed.
“He wanted me to call you and ask you, he
was too chicken shit” Tré said
“I was not” Billie Joe called out.
I laughed again.
“Have you talked to the others about our
offer?” He asked
“Surely have, we’d really love your
help. Maybe you could teach Taz some of your kick ass drummer tricks” I said
“I’d he very happy too” he said
“We should probably work on it sometime
before the Grammy’s, so we can show off a bit and be proper rock stars” I said
“Well how about we all fly in next week
sometime and live in LA for a while, that gives us a month and a bit to work on it” He said
“Sounds terrific” I said
“You guys get your dresses or whatever?”
He asked
“Oh yeah” I said, grinning to myself
“You sound excited about it” He said
“Fuck yeah, I took Billie’s advice
and we’re rebelling against our manager, who I’m sure has organised designers and all that shit for us, we bought
our dresses today, you’re gonna fuckin love’em” I said
“Colour? So we can dress to match”
He said
“Black, all 3, although we have a little
twist in our choice of clothes” I said
“Oh?” He asked
“Well, do any of you object to wearing either
blue, purple or orange?” I asked
“Not at all my dear, you just tell us who
is who” He said
“Tré can I call you back? My landline is
ringing” I said
“Sure thing, I’ll be waiting”
he said
“Bye” I said and hung up, answering
the land line.
“Hello” I said
“Frack, I’ve got drama’s”
Jenn said
“What’s wrong?” I asked
“Jas said he wouldn’t be able to come
to the Grammy’s because of work” She said
“Well, that’s ok, I have a spare lined
up” I said
“What?” She asked
“Dysfunct and Green Day are gonna go together,
unless you have other ideas” I said
“No that’d be ok, I get Mike, right?”
She asked
“Yep” I answered
“Alright, well I’ll tell Jas, thanks
Jai” She said
“No wuckers” I said, told her goodbye
and called back Tré.
“Sorry bout that, Jenn had drama’s”
I said
“That’s ok, you get it worked out?”
he asked
“Yep, Mike will have to wear Orange, you’ll
wear purple and Billie will wear blue, that ok with you?” I asked
“Hold on, I’ll ask” He said.
I waited.
“BJ, Mike” He said and I heard a door
slam.
“Jaime wants to know if this will be ok.
Mike in something orange, BJ in something blue and me in purple” He said
“We can have those coloured shirts, don’t
forget we have to stick to our black and red shit too” BJ was saying
“Black suits, coloured shirt and red ties”
Tré said
“Sounds good” Mike said. I didn’t
hear what Billie Joe said.
“They’re fine with it, anything else
we should know about?” Tré asked
“Uhhm, no” I said
“We organised a red limo to drop us off,
is that ok with you girls?” he asked
“Hell yeah, that’d be awesome”
I said
“Alright, BJ’s goin insane, so you
can talk to him now” He said. I laighed
“Thanks Tré, cya next week” I said
“Bye Jai” he said
“How are you feeling?” Billie Joe
asked
“Pretty good, my head isn’t as sore
any more, I think all that sleep did me some justice” I said
“That’s good” He said
“Are you guys performing at the Grammy’s?”
I asked
“Indeed we are, we’re towards the
beginning” he said
“Awesome, we’re not until half way
through” I said
“The crowd will be a bit more into it by
than” He said
“yeah true” I answered
“What’s this about us flying to LA
next week?” He asked
“You guys are gonna teach us some cool stuff”
I said
“Sounds good, though I have to fly back
on the weekend for court” he said
“That’s ok, you’re allowed”
I said. He laughed.
“I’m gonna let you go now, I have
some stuff to do” He said
“Alrighty, cya later” I said
“Bye babe” He said. I smiled and hung
up. I went to bed and hour later, after setting my alarm for 10, the meeting with Kev was at 11. I woke up, had a coffee and
got dressed, driving over to Kev’s place. Jenn and Taz were already there.
“I think we should release Australian Sunsets”
Kev said
“No” the 3 of us chorused
“Why not? It’s a great song”
He said
“I was thinking more along the lines of
Free Beer” I said. Taz and Jenn agreed.
“It’s not a good idea, you’ve
had 2 uptempo singles” He said
“We’re not a pop group” Jenn
said
“I know that” He said
“Than why are we doing what a lot of pop
groups do? 2 fast 1 slow new cd” Taz asked
“What is this?” He asked
“Kev, look you’re an excellent manager
and we all appreciate it, I’ve said it before, but we need more say in this. We’re a rock group” I said
“Ok, so you wanna release Free Beer, fine,
we can do that” He said. I smiled and sat back
“No about the Grammy’s I’ve
got some designers line up for you” he said
“We don’t need them, we got our dresses
yesterday” I said
“And you didn’t consult me first?”
he asked
“It was a spur of the moment thing”
I said
“Are they nice? For formal?” He asked
“Well yeah, maybe not as nice as you want
them to be, but they suit us, our image” I said
“Make up and hair?” He asked
“We’ll do it ourselves” Jenn
said
“You’ve been talking to those Green
Day people huh” he said to me
“They made some real good points Kev, they’ve
offered to help us out a bit and we took them up on the offer and because of that Dysfunct and Green Day are going together”
I said
“What about Backstreet?” He asked
“We’re gonna be sitting beside each
other Kev, we don’t need to arrive together” I said
“Have you got outfits for your performance?
Since you’ve got everything else organised” He said
“No, we’ll probably wear the same
as in the film clip” I said
“Alright well I guess now all that’s
left is the film clip for Free Beer” He said
“I think we should have it shot at a bar,
with us drinking beer” jenn said
“That’s a good idea” I said.
Kev looked wary.
“We’ll talk to a few bars and see
what they think. We should wait until Jaime’s got her stitches out and can see before we shoot it” He said
“Why, so no one can find out that I was
breaking up a fight and got knocked out by AJ?” I asked sarcastically
“No, so you look your best” he replied.
I shrugged.
“He’s a bad influence on you Jaime,
you’ve changed since you hooked up with him” Kev said softly
“Of course I’ve changed, I’m
experiencing things AJ never let me, for the first time in nearly 2 years I am really happy, I’m not worrying about
something, I’m not sick” I said
“I meant you’ve changed for the worse”
He said
“Kev” Jenn said
“Not for the worse, for the better”
Taz corrected him
“You’ve become a completely different
person” He kept on going
“Why? Because I want to be a real fucking
rock star? Not a pop group who plays instruments? Shit Kev, Billie Joe is the best thing that’s happened to me since
starting the tour with you guys and having our own cd. Why can’t you be happy for me?” I asked
“I can’t be happy for someone I don’t
know anymore” He said
“I’m still Jaime Cobain, I’ve
just changed my way of thinking” I said
“Because of him” Kev said
“You sound like you’re fucking jealous”
I said
“Jealous of that? They prance around on
stage swearing and drinking and dissing people, where as I perform because I love it, we do things that make the crowd happy”
He said
“Billie Joe does stuff to make the crowd
happy, so do Mike and Tré, they don’t just swear on stage, the make good points about politics and family. How would
you know anyway? You’ve never seen a Green Day concert” I said
“And I don’t plan to” he said
“Kev, let me make a suggestion, get your
facts straight before you start ripping off the biggest goddamn band in the world, bigger than Backstreet, Bigger than AC/DC
bigger than the fucking Beatles” I said and snatched up my keys and wallet.
“I’m leaving” I said and walked
out the door. I drove back to my flat and went inside, slamming the door. I got out my bottle of rum and hooked in. By the
time Jenn and Taz arrived I was pissed out of my brain. They quickly joined in and we bitched about Kev, who told Jenn and
Taz that he’d no longer be our manager if I was going to carry on the way I did. At midnight they left and I passed
out in bed. I woke to insistent knocking on my front door and my mobile and home phone ringing.
“Shut up” I yelled picking up my mobile
and answering it.
“What” I snapped
“We’re at your door, how about letting
us in” Billie Joe said with a chuckle. I groaned and got out of bed. My head wasn’t actually that sore, it was
my stomach giving me problems. I answered the door and walked slowly to the bathroom, throwing up for about 10 minutes. When
I was finished I found Mike, Tré and Billie all waiting for me in the small kitchen/dining/living room.
“You guys are early” I said accepting
the glass of water and panamax from Tré
“Thought we’d get a head start”
Mike said
“Where are you staying?” I asked
“Hotel down the road” Billie Joe said
“You can stay here, but I’ve only
got room for one” I said
“It’s ok” He said with a grin.
I sat down and rubbed my eyes.
“what day is it?” I asked
“Thursday” Mike said
“Shit hey, I been passed out for 2 days”
I said
“Maybe that’s why you’re not
that sick” Tré said with a grin
“maybe” I said
“So do you know somewhere we can each teach
you stuff?” Billie Joe asked
“Here, Jenn’s house and Nick’s
place” I shrugged
“You’ll have to give us the address”
Tré said. I wrote them down and had another glass of water. After an hour or 2 they disappeared and Billie Joe and I were
left alone.
“Where’s your guitar?” He asked.
I took him into my room and pulled it out of it’s case.
“It was Kurt’s” I said,
“it’s a very nice guitar” He
replied, looking it over. For the next 3 days Billie Joe and I played guitar and he taught me how to play it behind my head
and under my leg and upside down and with my mouth, which was really hard and painful until I got the hang of it. We practised
with Dysfunct songs, Green Day songs, Nirvana Songs and even Christmas Carols. On the day Before Billie Joe ahd to fly back
for court the 6 of us met up at Nicks place and we each watched each other play and do the tricks. Jenn learnt a lot of different
ways to play and she was pretty good at them all. Taz did exactly what I’d said that day and went totally insane. She
tossed the drum sticks around, twirled them on her fingers and even broke them, bringing out a new pair from somewhere. She
even improvised with her hands. Next it was my turn to show off. Jenn and Taz looked really impressed when I played it behind
my head and even more impressed when I played it with my mouth and between my legs. Next we practised it all together and
the 3 guys all agreed we were beginning to look like real rock stars indeed, though we still needed a lot more practise cos
all of us made heaps of mistakes. We practised alone, together and on stage at the Grammy’s, by the time the actual
show was on we were damn perfect. During the course of the months we released Free Beer and were going to perform it at the
Grammy’s. On the night we all got ready at the hotel, the 3 of us girls in my hotel room, doing each others make up.
We all had on dark eyeliner and mascara and minimal eye shadow, just a bit of black to add to our dark look and deep red lipstick.
When we emerged from the hotel room, where the guys were waiting outside, all 3 grinned at us. Taz had an afro with bits of
pink through it, Jenn had her hair out and straightened, I had pigtails that were spiked up, the different colours in my hair
standing out a lot.
“You look gorgeous” Billie Joe murmured
in my ear, we’d gotten a whole lot closer since they came to LA to teach us stuff. We were practically going out. His
divorce had come through, but we’d not yet been out in public together, tonight was the first time.
“Let’s go” Mike announced, offering
Jenn his arm. She grinned at him. Tré and taz had really hit it off too, I thought a break up between her and Nick was on
the cards, she knew Nick was cheating on her anyway. We left the hotel and got in the limo, drinking beer on the way. Billie
Joe had his arm around my shoulders and was talking to Tré. They’d come up with a different approach to dressing to
match us. They each had flowers in the top jacket pockets in the colour of each of our stockings. They looked really smart
in the all black suits with red ties. They’d managed to accessorize in true rock star style with chains and make up
like ours. It was awesome, we all looked hott. When we arrived there were so many reporters and fans that I got a little nervous.
“You ready?” Billie Joe asked me
“let’s do it” I said. Tré and
taz got out first followed by Mike and jenn. Billie Joe stepped out and held out his hand, I took it and got out, the fans
cheering was deafening and the flashes from the camera’s was blinding, Billie Joe kept his arm firmly around my waist
as he lead me up the red carpet. We both signed autographs and posed for photo’s. Even when they were taking photo’s
of us, Billie Joe’s arm never left my waist. I slipped mine around his and hooked my thumb through a belt loop.
“I’m real horny” he whispered
in my ear as more people took photos. I started laughing and shook my head.
“A few words Billie Joe?” asked a
reporter,
“sure” He agreed.
“Are you excited?” She asked and I
thought ‘what kinda question is that?’
“Yeah, Jaime and I have been looking forward
to this night for a long time” He answered. I smiled.
“Jaime, you and your band mates choice of
outfits is a real shock for some people, how do you feel about that?” She asked me
“Well, I don’t think it was that much
of a shock, the 3 of us have always been into crazy and unique stuff, tonight is just the most outrageous yet” I said
“Are you together?” Was her next question
“Define together” Billie Joe said
“Dating” She said
“Yeah, I guess we are, right jai?”
He asked. He sounded proud and I grinned at him
“Looks like it” I agreed. He laughed
and lead me on down the red carpet. We met up with the others at the top and went in, being shown to our seats next to Backstreet.
Kev looked disapprovingly at our clothes. AJ tried to get my attention but I ignored him and instead talked to Billie Joe.
“So we’re together now huh?”
I asked him
“In a way, yeah, I mean, we go out, have
sex, may as well be a couple” He shrugged. I laughed
“If you insist” I said. He grinned
and plonked a kiss on my cheek.
“Did I tell you how good you look in that
dress?” He asked
“Uh huh, thank you again” I said.
The awards started and a stage hand came and got Green Day for their performance. I slid to the seat next to Taz and grinned
at her.
“You and Tré seem very interested in each
other” I whispered as the nominee’s for best R&B was announced
“He’s so cool” She said. I chuckled
and we clapped when the Nominee’s were all announced. The winner was Alicia Keys, than Sean William-Scott announced
Green Day. I sang along and watched Billie Joe hype up the crowd and do a great performance of American idiot, they were in
jeans, and black and red shirts. When they came back they were back in their suits. I knew AJ was watching me when Billie
Joe sat down and gave me a kiss. The Best New Act award was up next, this was one we were nominated for. Billie Joe kissed
my cheek for luck.
“And the winner is, Dysfunct” Said
the Cold Play front man. I sat their, stunned, while Billie Joe was pulling me up and hugging me tight. I noticed all the
BSB standing up and smiling proudly at us. I gave Kev a hug and than followed jenn and Taz to the stage. We kissed and hugged
everyone and than Taz shoved me infront of the mic.
“Oh wow, this is amazing, god, wow”
I said
“We’ve got a few people to thank,
Kev Richardson our wonderful manger and best friend, Nick, AJ, Brian, Howie, thank you so much for the opportunities you’ve
given us, you’re all wonderful.
“To Green Day, Mike, Tré and Billie Joe,
you guys are the best thanks for all your help these past couple of months. I love you all, Omg the fans, thank you so much
to the fans” I said and stepped away. Jenn and taz each said thank you and we were lead off stage. When we went back
to our seats Billie Joe gave me a long kiss and hugged me tight. The Best Rock Group award was next and again we were nominated,
up against Green Day, Good Charlotte and Blink 182.
“The winner is Green Day” Said Alicia
Keys. The 6 of us stood up and I hugged each of them, kissing Billie Joe before he went.
“Wow, this is such an honour, thank you
above all to the fans, you guys are fucking awesome, our management. Jaime, the best fucking guitarist in fucking world, Jenn
and Taz, also the best at what they do, keep up the hard work, thanks for your support and thanks to my partners in crime,
Tré, Mike I love you guys” Billie Joe said and was quickly shoved out of the way by Tré.
“Yeah, eayh love you too BJ, oh my god,
the fans are so awesome, you rule, keep up the great work. Dysfunct are awesome, make sure you get their cd” He said
“Big thanks to everyone! You are all wonderful!”
Mike said and they were led off the stage. When they came back to their seats I hugged and kissed Billie Joe again. I knew
AJ was watching me. I didn’t care. I was so happy for Green Day. We had to go and get ready for our performance when
the Backstreet Boys got their Grammy. I made sure the 3 of us were waiting for them when the came off the stage.
“Congratulations” I said kissing each
one of them, reluctantly kissing AJ’s cheek because there were camera’s around. We finished getting ready and
a few of the people backstage commented on my outfit, which was a school uniform. A red tartan skirt with a white fitted shirt
that was ripped up a little, a black fishnet vest over the top, a tie and my stockings and big chunky boots. We went on stage
and waited for the curtain to come up. We started singing in our church harmony and than went into the heavy part. All 3 of
us started doing the tricks we’d learnt from Billie Joe, Mike and Tré which earned us a standing ovation. Green day
and Dysfunct each won 4 awards, everytime, Billie Joe said something about Dysfunct and Dysfunct said something about Green
Day and the Backstreet Boys. We had planned on going to an after party but Billie Joe suggested that just the two of us go
back to the hotel. I agreed and we said goodbye to everyone and left. In the limo on the way back he closed the window to
the driver and flipped me onto my back on the floor.
“Ever fucked in a limo?” He asked
“No” I said
“Wanna?” He grinned slyly
“Hell yeah” I said He pushed up my
dress and pulled down my panties and stockings before undoing his belt and fly, pushing his own pants and underclothes down.
By the looks of it, Billie Joe was very excited about being in the back of a limo. He entered me roughly and started pushing
in and out.
“Oh god” I said, holding on to him
tightly. He went faster, obviously trying to enjoy himself in a hurry because the ride to the hotel was only 10 minutes. He
groaned and looked down at me, he must’ve thought something was wrong cos he slowed down.
“AM I hurting?” He asked
“A little, but it feels good” I said
“one second” He said and momentarily
stopped, he picked up the intercom and pressed a button.
“Yeah could we maybe drive around for like
20 minutes?” He said and listened.
“Anywhere” He said and hung up.
“Ok, now we can take our time a little”
He said to me and kissed me. It didn’t take 20 minutes for us both to reach that particular point, it only took 17,
which gave us 3 minutes to fix ourselves up. We pulled up at the hotel and there were a few fans out the front. Billie Joe
got out first and helped me out than greeted fans, as did I. We went up to the room and both of us headed to the mini bar.
We settled down on the bed with beer, spirits and lollies. I cracked open a beer and had a few gulps, before opening a packet
of peanut M&M’s and stuffing a handful in my mouth.
“You know what?” Billie Joe asked
“Not personally” I said. He laughed
and opened himself a beer
“I think it’d be pretty cool to do
a song with Dysfunct” He said
“Not this again” I groaned
“What?” he asked
“That’s exactly what Kev said to me”
I said
“Well, it’ll be way different this
time, you 3 can do something completely different, like, swear. Shock. Horror. Gasp” He said I cracked up laughing.
“I’ll talk to them about it, see what
they say” I said
“Tré and Tara hit it off pretty much straight
away, huh” He said
“I know!” I said and finished off
my beer, opening a mini vodka bottle and tipping it into a can of coke.
“You looked really hott up on that stage
tonight, performing, fucking jesus Christ, I nearly came in my pants, if it wasn’t for AJ sizing me up” He said
“You wanna know what turns me on?”
I asked
“Sure thing” He said
“You gotta listen to it” I said grabbing
out my ipod from my back which I’d left in his room. I skipped it to Hitchin’ A Ride and he raised his eyebrow
at me.
“This song is a huge turn on for me, the
beat, the guitar solo, your voice, especially when you sing Fermented salmonella poison oak no” I said
“you’re kidding” He said
“I’m not, weird huh, you just sound
so sexy” I said and fast forwarded to that bit shoving an earphone at him. We both put one in our ear and I turned the
music up a little, singing along, he joined in and we both ended head banging to it. When it was over we both cracked up.
I turned my ipod off and put it on the bedside table.
“Do you miss your kids?” I asked him
“Of course I do, my kids mean everything
to me” He said, taking a handful of M&M’s
“I’d love to have some kids”
I said
“Maybe you will one day” He said
“Yeah, maybe, the rate I’m going with
men I doubt it though” I said
“Well how about this, if you’re not
married by the time you turn 30 I’ll marry you and father your children” he said
“Deal” I said holding out my hand.
We shook on it and laughed.
“Of course you’ll be married before
your 30, you’re a gorgeous woman” He said to me
“Well thanks Billie” I said, kissing
his cheek. Both our mobiles started ringing at the same time and we laughed.
“yeah” I said, answering mine. Billie
Joe moved away from the bed to answer his.
“Oh my god you gotta come to this party,
it’s fucking awesome” Taz said
“Billie and I are having our own party”
I said, looking at him, he smiled at me, I grinned back and I knew straight away it was either Tré or Mike calling him about
the party, I’m guessing Tré.
“Fuck that Jai, come on, this is so cool,
everyone’s asking for you” She said
“like who?” I asked
“Like Sean William-Scott and Snoop Dawg,
you’re the favourite and you’re not even here” She said and I could tell she was pouting. I looked over
at Billie Joe and he shrugged and pointed to the door. I nodded and he grinned.
“We’ll be there” We both said
at the same time and hung up. We quickly finished off our drinks and stuffed everything back into the mini bar. We raced each
other down the stairs and out to the Limo. We jumped in and told the driver where the party was. We drank champagne on the
way and when we arrived we made our way inside. I quickly spotted Taz who was standing with Tré, Nick was dancing with a girl
I didn’t recognise. We went over to Taz and she hugged me.
“I can’t believe we won all 4”
She was saying to me as Tré pulled Billie Joe aside.
“So, we’re here, what’s doin?”
I asked
“I’m gonna break up with Nick”
She said as we found an empty seat and sat down. I’d grabbed a champagne off a passing waiter just before.
“Yeah” I said
“Dunno why I even stayed with him this long”
She said
“Well you got a very fine drummer who seems
into you” I said. She grinned.
“Speaking of Tré, what’s it like,
being with BJ?” She asked
“What do you mean? Like sexually or in general?”
I asked
“both” She said
“Well sexually it’s fucking hott,
he’s really sweet about it all, but at the same time he’s let me experience I never have before. I mean, Taz we
fucked in the limo on the way to the hotel” I said. She squealed. I downed my bubbly and put it on the table beside
me.
“And in general?” She asked
“He’s a really good person, he loves
his kids, loves his job, he’s perfect” I said
“But just a friend right?” She asked
knowingly
“Yeah, just a friend” I said
“Let’s get a drink and dance”
She said. I grinned and followed her to the bar where we each got a beer and than found our way to the dance floor. Billie
Joe watched us both with a smile playing on his lips.
“Why do guys always watch when chicks dance
together?” Jenn asked as she joined us and saw Billie Joe watching us
“Cos they’re jealous of what we got”
I said and proceeded to shake my butt and shimmy. Taz and Jenn cheered me on and I laughed and pointed at Billie Joe before
motioning for him to come over. He shook his head no and I shrugged, grabbing the nearest male, who just happened to be Brian.
“Hey Rok, dance with me” I said. He
laughed and wrapped his arms around me.
“Congratulations on your Grammy’s”
he said
“Thanks” I said kissing his cheek.
Leigh watched us, laughing as Brian and I dirty danced with a gap between us. I guess it would’ve looked kinda funny.
I watched Billie Joe over Brian’s shoulder and saw him talking to a few girls and than point over in my direction. The
girls walked away with disappointed looks. Billie joe said something to Tré and started walking over.
“Gotta love jealousy” I grinned to
Brian who looked behind me and saw Billie Joe
“have fun chicka, I’m gonna dance
with my wife” He grinned and danced his way over to Leigh. Jenn grabbed me around the waist and spun me around to face
her.
“Come on Frack, let’s get his blood
boiling” She said. I laughed and we danced close and dirty.
“Mind if I join you?” Billie Joe asked
us
“Step in my man” Jenn said giving
him enough room to step between us. He laughed and did so, facing me with Jenn dancing against him from behind and me from
the front.
“This is nearly as good as a three some”
He said with a laugh. I spun around so my back was to him and matched my rhythm
with his. I heard Jenn cheering and laughed. I noticed there were camera’s going off and thought maybe we should stop,
Billie Joe had other ideas because he turned me around and than turned around to face Jenn. She peeked around at me and grinned.
I laughed and grabbed her hands and se started dancing with Billie Joe between us. He swung our hips and lowered ourselves
to the ground and than came back up and moved in a circle around him. He grinned at me and I winked before we did it again,
purposefully rubbing up against him.
“Hey, let me in” Taz said. We let
her join us and the 3 of us danced around Billie Joe who was really loving the attention. AJ was watching from the other side
of the room with a scowl on his face. I tried my hardest to ignore him and instead enjoyed everyone else’s company.
Chapter 5
We’d moved on to another party and all of
us, except AJ and Brian were pretty drunk. At the previous party a few reporters got photo’s of Billie Joe, Jenn, Taz
and I dancing together and I didn’t want to imagine what the headline would be. I danced with all of Green Day and backstreet
for the camera’s including AJ who kept saying sorry and asking me to forgive him. I told him we’d talk next week.
Billie Joe hardly left my side, it was kinda sweet. If he didn’t wanna dance he’d move to where he could see me.
Saying he was worried about AJ being here. I tried to assure him that AJ wouldn’t start shit here but he didn’t
believe me. Turns out I was wrong about AJ. He cornered Billie Joe outside while we were out there having a smoke.
“AJ, jesus, not fucking here” I said
and tried to get between them
“not again” Billie Joe said
“Don’t fight back” I pleaded
with him, but he didn’t take any notice of me and when AJ hit him, Billie Joe retaliated the way most men would and
hit him back. I raced inside and searched frantically for Tré and Mike or anyone I knew to help me.
“Kev, help” I said, tugging his arm
“What’s up?” He asked me
“They’re fighting, please, come on”
I said. On our way back out, a few people followed and I managed to grab Tré, Mike, Nick and Howie. By the time I got back
outside, Billie Joe had blood dripping from a gash in his forehead, his hands were all messed up and AJ didn’t look
much better, both were still laying into each other. Kev, Nick and Howie pulled AJ away while Mike and Tré hauled Billie Joe
away.
“Don’t you dare speak about her like
that” Billie Joe said spitting out blood
“It’s true” AJ said simply and
Billie Joe tried to break free from Mike and Tré who were struggling. Jenn and Taz were holding me back, but I managed to
slip free and went over to Billie Joe.
“Are you hurt real bad?” I asked him
“No, I’m ok” He said and wiped
the blood from his eye. I nodded and went over to AJ who was being held in a seat by Nick, Kev and Howie.
“You deserve better than him” He said
to me, without looking
“You know, I probably do, but that someone
is not you and it never will be again” I said as the camera crews arrived
“Just stay away from Billie Joe and whatever
you have to say about me, you say it to me, don’t say it to him because next time I’m not gonna go and get help
to save your sorry ass” I said in a low voice before going back over to Billie Joe who had been hidden slightly by Jenn,
Taz, Mike and Tré.
“God next time I’ll kill him”
He said
“No” I said
“Does he think he’s gonna win you
back by dissing you?” He asked
“He’s messed up, let’s just
go back to the hotel and forget about it” I said, kneeling in front of him
“I think I’m gonna need stitches”
he grinned at me
“You gonna sing Give Me Novacaine?”
I asked. He laughed and looked away.
“I’m sorry” He said
“Fuck it, who cares” I said and heard
my name being called out.
“Come on, we’d better go deal with
this shit” Jenn said touching my arm, Kev looked over at us and half smiled, as if to say sorry.
“Can you take him to the hospital? We’ll
meet you there after this is all cleared up” I said
“one of us should stay too, to help”
Tré said
“You stay, I’ll go with BJ”
Mike said and helped Billie Joe up who looked horrible. He stumbled and laughed. I watched them make their way through the
crowd, behind the camera’s. The 4 of us went over to Kev and Nick who were waiting for us to join them before speaking.
“What was all that about Jaime?” the
chick asked me, straight away
“Well I’m not really sure, I think
a misunderstanding” I said, looking at my friends for support
“I actually think it was a disagreement
between Billie Joe and AJ. I believe AJ doesn’t like Jaime’s friendship with Billie Joe” Kev said, squeezing
my hand gently
“Could that be because Billie Joe announced
earlier that Jaime and himself were together?” She asked
“Billie Joe and I aren’t together
as such. We’re just really good friends” I said
“Billie Joe needs all the friendship he
can get right now, his divorce just came through” Tré said
“And that’s an excuse for his behaviour?”
Asked someone else, a guy.
“His behaviour was quite reasonable compared
to AJ’s. I’m sure if your female friend was being disrespected and you’d just been punched you’d react
the same way, wouldn’t you?” Nick asked him. They made us talk to them for a bit longer before Tré got us too
the hospital where Billie Joe was getting his stitches. He was fine apart from the gash, not even concussed. Back at the hotel
we watched the late night report and Billie Joe laughed when he saw us all trying to defend him.
“It’s not funny, you could’ve
been really hurt” I said
“Doubt it babe, I’m tough as nails”
He said. I laughed and punched his arm gently
“I’ve made my decision” I said
after a while
“Which is?” He asked
“I’ve decided you can come with me
to get my tattoo” I said
“Oh I’m honoured” He said
“I’m serious. I’ll need some
moral support” I said
“Ok. What are you getting?” he asked
“’Billie Joe’, on my butt”
I teased
“Oh, it’ll match the ‘Jaime
Cobain’ I have on mine” He teased back. I laughed and shrugged.
“I dunno what I’ll get. I’ve
always liked the pentagrams though” I said
“That would be cool, where abouts?”
He asked
“Maybe on my lower back or on my neck”
I answered
“On your neck would be sexy” he said
“I want people to be able to see it, but
at the same time I don’t want my tattoo to be like Jenn’s or Taz’s, Jenn’s are on her neck and Taz’s
is on her lower back” I said
“What about on your wrist? It’ll cover
up one of your scars” He said
“Yeah true. Maybe I’ll get it on my
wrist” I said
“I really don’t wanna go back tomorrow”
He said completely changing the subject as well as his position on the bed
“Well, don’t” I said
“I gotta work” he said
“Why don’t you wanna go?” I
asked
“Cos I’ll be leaving you” He
answered
“Time away from you might do me some good.
You’re a bad influence on me Billie Joe Armstrong” I said. He laughed.
“Because I released your inner rock star?
Or because all I wanna do is fuck you?” He asked
“Hmm… Both” I replied. He laughed
again and rolled on top of me, pinning my arms above my head and kissing my neck.
“The doctor told you to take it easy”
I said, smiling
“Mmm, maybe, I can’t remember, I was
too busy anticipating the night with you” He said in my ear
“Why don’t you lay back and let me
pleasure you” I suggested. He lifted his head from my neck and looked down at me.
“Thought girls didn’t like that kinda
shit” He said
“Well I’ve never really experienced
enough it to like it or not” I said, shrugging with great difficulty, considering he still had my arms pinned. He slowly
knelt up, straddling me, I grinned up at him.
“Sure I’ve had boyfriends, I’ve
also had plenty of sex, but I haven’t really given head or nothing” I said, shrugging again
“Well, I’ll let you practise on me.
That time in the Cab in Sydney, you were pretty good, but if you think you need practice” He said and settled himself
back on the bed.
“Well, first of all, this has gotta go”
I said tugging on the hem of his shirt. He sat up a little and I pulled it gently over his head, so as not to hurt him. I
straddled him and leant forwards, to kiss him. He had a few bruises on his chest and I felt bad about it. I pressed my lips
against his but only for a second, before trailing kisses down his neck. He moaned softly and I felt him slide his hands around
my back.
“You given me a hicky?” He asked playfully
as I sucked and kissed his neck
“No, but I will if you want me too, later”
I said in his ear and kissed my way down his chest, paying equal attention to each of his nipples. I felt his cock start swelling
up through his pants and smiled to myself before moving down some and kissing all around his stomach and sucking on a bit
below his belly button. When I pulled my head away I grinned at the big hickey and looked up at him before kissing down to
the waist band of his pants and undoing his belt and fly. I freed his now throbbing penis and flicked my tongue over the tip,
he responded instantly with a loud groan. Before I could go any further someone burst through the door. I quickly got off
Billie Joe and he covered himself up just before Taz stumbled in, a bewildered look on her face.
“What’s wrong?” I asked
“He just kissed me” She said
“Who?” Billie Joe asked
“Tré, he kissed me” She said
“And you immediately ran in here?”
I asked. She nodded. Tré came quickly through the door and stopped short, looking at me and than at Billie Joe, who was clutching
the pillow to his crotch.
“Taz, do you think maybe you should go and
kiss him some more? See if you like it?” I asked. She grinned and turned to Tré and grinned even more stupidly. Tré
grinned back and they left.
“I think we should start locking our door”
Billie Joe said to me
“Yeah” I said getting up and going
out to lock it. When I came back Billie Joe was walking towards the balcony, minus his shirt.
“Where ya goin?” I asked
“Well, they kinda just ruined, I figured
you could have a smoke before we tried again” He said. I laughed and followed him out, sparking up.
“I should really go and have a shower and
get changed” I said. I was still in my Grammy outfit
“Yeah and we should probably both get some
sleep” He said. I nodded.
“You gonna stay in here?” He asked
“I don’t think I should” I said
“Well, don’t think, just stay”
He said
“Alright, but how many fuck buddies do you
know, who sleep the night in each others beds?” I asked
“2. You and me” He said
“I’m beginning to think there’s
more to this relationship than I thought” I said
“I know, all you want is a noncommittal
relationship but it’s so hard for me. I want you and I wanna keep you” He said
“Billie” I said looking away
“But, I’m still gonna settle for fuck
buddies, better than nothing right?” He asked
“I’m sorry I can’t give you
what you want” I said. He gave my hand a squeeze
“Who knows? In a couple of months we might
be together, we might not too” He observed
“I think I’ll stay in my own room
tonight” I said to him
“Ok” He said. I put out my smoke and
stood up, kissing him on the top of the head.
“Good night Billie Joe” I whispered
and went to my room. I had a shower and changed for bed, slipping between the sheets and going straight to sleep. I woke up
when I heard someone in my room. I sat up, a little frightened and slid out of bed, tip-toeing out to the main part of the
hotel room. I saw Taz and cleared my throat. She jumped and spun around.
“Shit, I was just about to come and wake
you” She said
“Why?” I asked
“Cos you, Me and Jenn are spending the day
together, remember?” She asked
“Oh, yeah, sorry” I said
“Duh” She said. I grinned and sat
down.
“Why arne’t you in BJ’s room?”
She asked
“Cos, I don’t think it’s a good
idea for us to be spending the night together” I said
“In other words, he wants more and you’re
not giving it, right?” She asked
“Spot on” I said
“Would it be so bad?” She asked
“Yes” I said
“Why? Because he’ll pay attention
to you? Stay faithful? Be a great friend and boyfriend?” She asked
“Because he might break my heart”
I said
“Jaime, Jaime, Jaime” She said shaking
her head
“What?” I asked
“Nothing, your choice, get ready, we’ll
meet you down stairs for Brekky” She said
“Ok, there in 10” I said. She nodded
and left. I went into my room and looked through my clothes and decided I needed new stuff. I pulled on a pair of camouflage
cargo pants and a singlet with a sports jumper over it, to stay a little bit warm, since it was winter here. I pulled my trucker
cap on and slipped on some shoes and socks before grabbing everything I’d need for the day and headed down to the restaurant.
I found Taz and Jenn over in the corner and made my way over. I noticed straight away they weren’t alone, Billie Joe
and Tré where with them. I took the seat next to Jenn and across from Billie Joe and he smiled at me. I smiled back and fixed
my cap.
“What are you 3 ladies doing today?”
Tré asked
“Shopping” I said. Jenn and Taz pouted
at me.
“What do you wanna do than?” I asked
“Shop” Jenn nodded. I cracked up laughing.
“I wanna do something fun, have you noticed
that we NEVER do anything fun anymore? Remember back in Tamworth how we just fucked around?” Taz said
“Yeah, good old Tamworth” Jenn agreed.
Taz and I looked at each other.
“Corey” I said the same time as she
said “PPE”
“Who and who?” Billie Joe asked
“Corey, he’s my car, back in Tamworth,
mine and Taz’s home town. PPE is short for Purple People Eater, that’s Taz’s car” I said
“What kinda car is Corey?” Tré asked
“He’s a Toyota Corolla” I said.
He nodded.
“PPE is a Hyundai” Taz said
“Cool” he grinned. Billie Joe was
very quite, I wondered if it had to do with anything with last night.
“What are you 2 and Mike gonna do today?”
I asked
“Probably just hang here until we have to
go to the airport” Tré said
“What time is that?” I asked
“1:30” Billie Joe said
“I’ll come and see you off”
I said
“Don’t worry about it, you just go
shopping” He said and I nodded, hurt. I didn’t let him know that.
“I’m gonna go get some food”
I said with a bit of a grin. I stood up and Jenn and Taz quickly followed.
“What was that?” Jenn hissed as we
walked away
“He’s got the shit’s cos Jai
won’t commit” Taz informed her
“Why?” Jenn asked me
“Because of what happened with AJ”
Taz said before I could speak
“It’s been a year Frack, don’t
you think you should give him a chance?” She said softly as we piled our plates high with greasy food
“He said he was happy with the way things
are now, why should I change that, just to make him feel good about himself?” I asked
“Jai, you are practically going out with
him” Tré said
“Oh jesus, what is this? Pick on Jaime cos
Billie Joe is a sook day?” I asked and put my plate down, walking hurriedly towards the exit. Out of the corner of my
eye I saw Billie Joe jump up and start to follow me. As soon as I was outside I lit a smoke
and leaned against the wall. Billie Joe emerged and looked around for me. He saw me and started over.
“What’d they say?” He asked
“That I should commit, give you a chance”
I said
“And you won’t because I might break
your heart” he said
“I like you, I really do, you’re great
and perfect and all that shit, but let me tell you something. Before I came to America I was in a relationship for 5 years,
every day I was bashed, I was pushed down stairs, I lost my baby, I lost my confidence and I lost my dignity.
“I came here to get away from it, started
the band, got known and all that and gave my heart to AJ. He was great for a while, than I started noticing little things
about him that were different and found out he was cheating on me, you know that. I don’t want to be hurt again”
I said
“I’m not gonna hurt you” He
insisted
“You don’t know that” I replied,
taking another long draw from my smoke
“Ok, you just wanna be friends, that’s
what we’ll be, friends, nothing more” He said
“Just friends” I repeated
“No sex or anything” He said
“Fine” I said, putting out my smoke
and going back inside. I got another plate of food and went back to the table, eating in silence. Billie Joe returned with
a cup of coffee.
“Are you ready?” I asked my 2 friends
when I was done
“Yeah, let’s go” Jenn said,
Taz nodded. I stood up and watched Taz and Tré say goodbye to each other with a kiss and a hug.
“Bye Tré, Billie” I said and started
walking away.
“What was all that about than?” Jenn
asked me
“none of your business” I said as
we got in a taxi
“Ok” She said and smiled at me. Jenn
was great, she never pushed, well only in extreme cases. We found a mall and went in.
“Let’s by rock star clothes”
Taz grinned
“What are rock star clothes? There’s
no particular fashion really, is there?” Jenn asked
“I think it’s just whatever we wanna
wear, but traditionally it’s black, or dark colours” I said with a shrug
“And weird accessories: Taz added
“Yeah, I’m gonna get some spikes I
think” I said
“And cuffs” Taz said
“Maybe” I answered. At 1:30 I said
a silent goodbye to Billie Joe and tried not to think about him. I bought some spikes and cuffs and even a chain. I also got
some new shirts and jeans. Jenn and Taz bought new clothes as well, but I spent the most by far.
“Hey Jai” Taz said
“Yeah” I answered as we walked through
the mall towards the food court for some lunch
“Can I crash on your lounge?” She
asked
“If you want” I said
“Thanks” She said. I grinned at her.
“What are you having?” I asked them
“Subway” They both said
“Subway it is, I’ll hold this table
if you guys get me something” I said
“Chicken and bacon Ranch Sub?” Taz
asked
“Yep” I said handing them some money
and sitting at the table, surrounded by my shopping. I checked my phone, to see if anyone had called, no one had. I put it
away and sighed. Jenn and Taz came back not long after and we ate, cahtting about the Grammy’s last night, none of us
wanted to look at the papers or magazines so we made a huge detour around them. When we were finished we took a cab back to
the hotel and checked out, going our separate ways. Taz and I headed back to my place and we ate lollies and chips and drank
a bit. My mobile started ringing and I picked it up.
“Hello?” I said, hoping it was Billie
Joe
“Hey” Siad Nick
“Hey Nicky” I said, trying not to
sound disappointed
“What’s doin?” He asked
“Just with Taz” I said
“Oh, ok” He said
“Bout you?” I asked
“I’m bored, was gonna see if you wanted
to do something” he said
“Sorry” I said
“It’s ok, I’ll talk to you later”
He said
“Bye” I said and he just hung up.
Taz didn’t seem phased.
“Wanna play a drinking game?” I asked
“hell yeah” She said. I grinned and
went over to the box containing my Backstreet Boys stuff and pulled out all the concert videos I had. She cracked up laughing.
I put one in and we sat back and started playing. By the 4th concert we were both completely wasted and barely able to hold
our drinks let alone take a sip. The land line started ringing and I stumbled over.
“Hulro?” I slurred
“Jaime? Are you drunk?” Asked Billie
Joe
“It’s Jillie Boe” I said to
Taz and we both cracked up laughing
“Jaime, calm down” I heard Billie
Joe say
“Sorry” I said, still having a laughing
fit.
“I just wanted to let you know that I was
home” He said
“Would you like fries with that?”
I asked and cracked up again
“Ok, I’m gonna let you go now. I’ll
talk to you later” He said
“Bye Jillie Boe” I sing songed and
hung up, collapsing on the lounge beside Taz.
“I think we should sleep” She said
“Yep” I agreed, still laughing. I
stood and stumbled to my bedroom, passing out on my bed. When I woke up, I really needed to vomit. I only just made it to
the bathroom before I lost everything from yesterday and last night. When I was done I had water and went back to sleep. I
woke up to banging on the front door and groaned.
“Tara get the door” I yelled out
“No” She replied, but I heard her
walking over to it anyway.
“Where the hell have you 2 been?”
Exploded Kev
“Kev, shit” Taz said. I groaned again
and got up.
“You were supposed to come to my place for
a meeting” He said when he saw me
“So we forgot, sorry” I said, going
into the kitchen and getting a bottle of water from the fridge.
“What was the meeting for?” Taz asked.
I passed her a bottle of water and she accepted it gratefully
“Another album” He said, he sounded
really angry
“Well we’ve got a contract for 3 so
of course we’re gonna do another, just as soon as we get the time to write a bit” I said to him
“You’ve had a fucking year”
He said
“That was our time to figure ourselves out,
you said the same thing. Give us another 6 months and we’ll have your goddamn songs” I said, not in the mood for
him at this stage
“3” He said and left.
“Prick” I murmured, finishing off
my bottle of water and getting another.
“I think I might go back to sleep”
Taz said to me
“Ok” I said. She went back to the
lounge and laid down. I grabbed both phones and my coat before going out onto the tiny balcony. I dialled Billie Joe’s
number on my home phone and waited.
“Hello, Jacob Armstrong speaking”
Said a little boy. I figured it must’ve been one of Billie Joe’s kids.
“Hey Jacob, my name is Jaime, is your dad
there?” I asked kindly
“Daddy a lady’s on the phone for you,
her name is Jaime” The little boy yelled out
“Thanks” Billie Joe said and I heard
him take the phone.
“Hey” He said to me
“Hi, did you really call me last night?
Or was I too drunk and just imagined it?” I asked
“No, I called, sounded like you were having
fun” He said
“Not really, Taz and I were just playing
drinking games. Actually, yeah it was fun, not so fun now though” I said. He chuckled. I lit a smoke and took a draw.
“Was that your son?” I asked
“Yeah, Jakob, my youngest. I’ve got
them while Adrianne is away” He said
“he sounds cute” I said
“Yeah” He said
“I was just calling to ask for some help”
I said
“What with?” He asked
“Kev’s given us 3 months to write
an album” I sighed
“What a nice man” He said
“I’d really appreciate some help”
I said
“Maybe you could come and stay with me for
a few days in a couple of weeks” He said
“Yeah, that’d be good” I said
“Do you like kids?” He asked
“I love kids” I answered
“Well, you’ll probably be seeing Jakob
and Joesph a lot, so I was just checking” He said
“Does Adrianne know about me?” I asked
“She does now, you seen the papers?”
He asked
“No, I didn’t want to” I said.
He laughed.
“There’s a great picture of me with
Dysfunct dancing around me” He said. I laughed and it hurt, so I stopped.
“Any particular time you want me around?”
I asked
“Whenever you make the arrangements”
He said
“I’ll see what I can do tomorrow.
Is Wednesday too soon?” I asked
“No, I”ll still have the kids, but
that’s ok, they can share Joe’s room and you can have Jakobs” He said
“I can stay in a hotel” I said
“Fuck off, you’re staying here”
he said
“Ok” I said
“Let me know the details and everything,
I might be able to pick you up from the airport” He said
“Ok, thanks” I said
“I’ll talk to you later” he
said
“Ok, bye Billie Joe” I said and hung
up. I finished my smoke and went back in, sitting down at my desk in my room.
Chapter 6
I walked from the gate, looking around for Billie
Joe. I saw him over near a vending machine and laughed. 2 little boys were with him, one taller than the other. I watched
for a minute before going over.
“Daddy” Whispered the taller of the
two
“What is it Joe?” Billie Joe asked
“it’s her” he whispered. Billie
Joe turned around and laughed.
“Jaime” he said pulling me into a
hug.
“Hey Billie” I said, hugging him back.
It felt good to be back in his arms. When he let me go he grinned down at his 2 sons.
“This is Joseph and this here is Jakob.
Guys, this is Jaime” He said. I crouched down to there height and smiled at them.
“Hey, how are you?” I asked them both
“Good” They chorused
“Don’t tell your daddy, but I got
you boys something back in LA” I said putting my shoulder bag down and opening it up. They watched intently as I reached
in.
“Here” I said pulling out 2 wrapped
presents.
“Can we open them?” They asked me
and looked up at Billie Joe
“Wait until we get home” He said firmly,
but kindly. They both pouted. I picked up my bag and smiled at him as he grabbed my suitcase.
“Come on, let’s go” He said,
taking Jakob’s hand.
“Daddy can we look at the planes?”
Jakob asked
“We’ve been her for 4 hours already”
Billie Joe said. I chuckled and he grinned at me.
“Don’t forget when we get back to
your place you get to open your presents” I reminded them. They quickened their paces. When we got to the car Billie
Joe put my stuff in the back and then told the boys to get in the back. I got in beside Billie Joe in the front and we started
driving.
“how was your flight?” He asked me
“Boring, food was gross, the usual”
I said
“What about Taz and Jenn, how are they?”
He asked
“Taz is all over Tré, she found out his
real name, none of us have heard the end of it. Jenn’s good, she’s really tired, from Drake and stuff though”
I said
“Owww” Howled Jakob. Billie Joe looked
in the rearview mirror.
“Joe, don’t hit your brother”
He said
“He started it” Joseph said, hitting
Jakob again
“Don’t make me stop the car”
Billie Joe said. I watched, amazed at him. He looked over at me and half smiled.
“I’m not on Rock Star duty right now”
He said. I nodded.
“How have you been anyway?” He asked
“Oh you know, boring old Jaime” I
said
“You’re not boring” He said.
Another ‘oww’ from the backseat. Billie Joe pulled the car over and turned around in his seat.
“I’m not going to tell you again to
stop it, I’ll just make you both walk home” He said sternly. I had to cover my mouth to keep from laughing and
look away. Jakob was crying.
“Jack, hey, shh hey, you’re trying
to impress a lady remember” Billie Joe said to his youngest son. I heard a small yes from Jakob and smiled.
“Well toughen up and she’ll love you”
He said. He tried to stop crying and hiccuped.
“Silence until we get home” Billie
Joe said. Both kids nodded and Billie Joe got back on the road. When we arrived at his house I was relatively shocked to see
it was only small, classy, but small.
“yards big” he said as we walked up
the path way.
“Can we open our presents now?” Jakob
asked
“As soon as your cleaned up and ready for
dinner in half an hour” Billie Joe said. The 2 kids ran inside.
“Come on” He said nodding me down
the hall. He pushed open a door and I saw what was typically a little boys room, blue walls, dinosaurs lots of balls and cars
and stuff.
“I hope you don’t mind dinosaurs”
he said
“Nah, they’ll keep me company”
I said
“I’m sorry about the kids” he
said
“Hey, they’re showing off, cos I’m
new” I shrugged
“I wish they wouldn’t, they’re
usually really good” He said putting my bags down
“They’ll be ok when they’re
a bit used to me” I said
“Come on, I’d better make sure they’re
not killing each other” He said. I laughed and followed him down to the bathroom, both kids were carefully washing their
hands.
“Present time” Billie Joe announced
and they ruished past us to the lounge room. Billie Joe and I followed. I took a seat on the lounge while Billie Joe opted
for the floor with his kids. They ripped the wrapping paper from their gifts and both gasped in wonder. I’d gotten them
both Ipod Mini’s.
“Wow, they’re cool” Billie Joe
said as they both looked at me
“You like them?” I asked
“Yes” They screeched and attacked
me, hugging me and pressing sloppy lips against my cheeks.
“Ok, ok, that’s enough get off her”
Billie Joe said as I started laughing.
“Dad can we show her Millie?” Joseph
asked
“Yes, but don’t touch her, dinner
will be ready shortly” He said. Both boys grabbed my hands. I turned to look at Billie Joe he just grinned. The boys
pulled me down the back to a fenced off area.
“That’s Millie” Jakob said pointing
to a beautiful pony.
“Oh wow, she’s pretty” I said
“We’re allowed ride her sometimes”
Joseph said proudly
“I fell off” Jakob said
“Ouch, did it hurt?” I asked
“Yeah, but Daddy said that I should just
get right back up and try again” He said, puffing out his chest a little
“Your Daddy’s very smart” I
said. Jakob took off back up to the house while I walked slowly with Joseph.
“How did you and dad meet?” He asked
me
“We meet at one of his concerts and became
friends” I said
“So you know he’s famous?” He
asked
“Uh huh, he’s a very talented person”
I said
“Are you in a band too?” He asked
“I am indeed, with my 2 friends Taz and
Jenn” I said
“I think I’ve seen your picture on
TV” he said. I stayed quiet
“Are you gonna take him away from us again?”
He asked, almost shyly. I stopped and knelt down in front of him
“What do you mean?” I asked
“Him and Mom split up, I thought it might
have been because of someone he meet while he was away” He shrugged
“Oh, no I’m not gonna take him away
from you guys. He adores you both” I said. He smiled. He looked just like his father. With Green eyes and all, same
smile too.
“Come on, let’s go see what he’s
cookin up for us” I said. He laughed.
“Race you” he said
“Ok, go” I said, we both took off.
At first I was beating him but I slowed down and he passed me.
“Oh you’re way too fast for me Joseph”
I said. He laughed and went inside. I followed him into the kitchen and saw Billie Joe tasting something in a pot.
“Mmm, good, wanna try?” He asked me.
“Ok” I said. He held out the spoon
for me with a bit of whatever he was cooking on it. He blew it and offered it to me. I took the mouthful and nodded.
“That’s good, what is it?” I
asked it resembled macorni and Cheese but I wasn’t sure
“Just my own special Mac & Cheese recipe”
He grinned And took it off the heat.
“Jack, Joe, could you please set the table?”
He asked. The 2 boys obediently started setting the table and once again I was amazed at Billie Joe. He served up the meal
and set it all on the table. Billie Joe went back into the kitchen for something and even though Joseph and Jakob were eating
I waited for Billie Joe. He set a bottle of Miller in front of me and sat down with a beer for himself,
“Can I have one too dad?” Asked Joseph
“you can have a little bit” Billie
Joe said pouring an inch of beer into his glass
“What about me Dad?” Jakob said
“Ok, but not as much, you’re still
only little yet” Billie Joe said and gave Jakob some as well. We ate dinner with the loud chattering of the boys telling
Billie Joe and I about school. It was a nice feeling, even though I wasn’t a part of the family. When we were done I
offered to help the boys with the dishes. Billie Joe got us both another beer and positioned himself on the counter, watching
over the boys as they wiped up.
“Why did you come here Jaime?” Asked
Jakob innocently
“Your dad’s gonna be help me write
some songs” I said
“Wow, can I help?” He asked
“Nope you have to do your homework and go
to bed” Billie Joe said
“Aww Dad” They both whined
“Yeah dad, come on, be nice” I teased
“You can stay up until 9:00, no later”
He said.
“Is it ok if I go and shower?” I asked
Billie Joe while the boys set up the homework stuff on the table.
“Sure, you don’t have to sk though”
he said. I smiled and went down to my room and grabbed a change of clothes and my towel before going into the bathroom. I
had a shower, relaxing a little and trying not to get excited about being alone with Billie Joe when the boys go to bed. I
knew what he said, but I wondered if we’d both stick to it. I shook my head at my reflection and told myself to forget
it. This was Father Billie Joe not Green Day Billie Joe. I put my clothes in my bag and went out to the kitchen where Billie
Joe was helping them with their homework. I finished off my beer and put the bottle in the bin. AT 8:30 the boys went to watch
TV for half an hour and Billie Joe and I sat out the back while I had a smoke.
“They’re great kids” I said
to him
“yeah, they are” He agreed
“your pony’s adorable” I said
“Millie’s not mine she’s Adrianne’s,
I just let her live here for the boys sake” he said
“Oh ok” I said
“Am I boring you? With the whole father
thing?” he asked
“Nah, it’s cute” I said. He
laughed. I finished off my smoke and we went inside.
“bedtime” He announced to his sons.
They whined but went and got ready.
“You can wait in the study for me, while
I tuck them in” He said
“Ok” I nodded and he showed me where
it was. I sat in a chair and waited. I heard him singing softly and followed his voice to Joseph’s room where they were
both sleeping while I was here and saw him singing to his sons. I got tears in my eyes and quickly went back to the study,
wiping them away just before Billie Joe appeared and closed the door a bit.
“So, you wanna get started straight away
or what?” he asked
“I don’t care” I answered, shrugging
“Well have you got any ideas?” He
asked
“A few” Is aid
“Let’s see’em” He said.
I handed my notebook over and he flicked through, nodding to himself. I saw his lips move as he read and smiled. It wasn’t
that long ago when those lips we’re giving me immense pleasure.
“Some of the stuff you’ve got here
is really good, it just needs a bit of work and it’ll be fucking good” He said
“You a rock star now?” I asked
“Half and half” he grinned. I chuckled.
He moved closer to me and pointed out some area’s where we needed to work on stuff. As we worked on the songs I realised
that I’d made a big mistake, telling him that I wouldn’t commit. I still didn’t want to, but I did want
to go back to being with him, it was incredible. He looked up at me and smiled.
“Sorry” I said, looking away
“It’s good to see you again”
He said. I grinned at him
“It’s good to see you too. It’s
kinda shocking how much I missed you” I said
“I know what you mean” He agreed.
“Dad, I can’t sleep” Said Jakob
from the door way
“Maybe Jaime will sing for you” He
said with a smile that almost melted my heart. Almost.
“I’d love to sing to you” I
said with a smile
“Do you know any lullabyes?” He asked
“I knew a couple” I said
“Ok” He said
“Come on in here, so we don’t wake
your brother” Billie Joe said. Jakob trudged into the room carrying a teddy bear. He climbed up onto the lounge between
Billie Joe and I and looked at me expectantly
“Are you comfortable?” I asked. He
lay down, resting his head on Billie Joe’s leg and cuddling the bear close
“Yes” He said when he had shuffled
around for a minute.
“Close your eyes” I said. He did so.
“Rockabye Jakob on a tree top, when the
wind blows the cradle will rock, when the wind blows the cradle will fall. Down will come Jakob, cradle and all” I sang
softly
“Again” He said softly, sleepily.
“Rocka bye Jakob on a tree top, when the
wind blows the cradle will rock, when the bow breaks the cradle will fall. Down will come Jakob, cradle and all” I sang
again. The little boy didn’t make a sound and I looked up at Billie Joe who smiled and shifted carefully, holding the
boys head and than picking him up. I followed him down the hall and into Josephs room and watched him lay the sleeping child
in bed and kiss his head before coming back out into the hall. I had tears in my eyes again and Billie Joe grinned at me and
lead me back to the study.
“Shocked much?” He asked
“Sorry, it’s just that, I never even
thought about how good you were with your kids. You’re wonderful though” I said. He grinned and picked up the
song we were working on. We worked on it for a good 3 hours before it was somewhat finished. He handed the page to me and
I read it through, adding Billie Joe’s name next to mine below the title.
“Now it’s better” I said. He
laughed softly and yawned.
“We should get to bed, these boys are up
at the crock of dawn” He said
“Ok, thanks again, for letting me stay”
I said
“You’re welcome here anytime”
He said. I smiled and followed him into Jakob’s room.
“You want me to sing you a lullabye?”
He asked
“Oh, I think I’ll be ok” I said.
He nodded, but didn’t leave the door way.
“Come here” I said. He came in and
I wrapped my arms around him, kissing his cheek.
“Good night” I said to him
“Night babe” He answered and left,
closing the door behind him. I turned the lamp on and changed for bed, crawling between the sheets. I flicked the lamp off
and rolled over, drifting off into a restless sleep. I woke up when I heard screaming and jumped out of bed rushing to where
the sound was coming from, Billie Joe was doing the same. He burst into the boys room first, I followed closely and saw Joseph
trying to calm Jakob down who was crying.
“Hey little man, what’s goin on?”
Billie Joe asked, going over and sitting on the side of the bed
“I had a bad dream” Jakob sobbed
“What about?” Billie Joe asked
“Monsters under the bed” He choked
out
“Would you like us to check?” I asked.
He nodded. Billie Joe and I crawled around on our hands and knees for a good half hour and than checked the wardrobes and
doors for 20 minutes before Jakob was satisfied it was only us in the room with him. Both Billie Joe and I offered to sing
to him but he was too scared to go to bed.
“Ok, son, you can share my bed, but only
tonight” Billie Joe said, lifting the boy into his arms and standing up. I smiled at him.
“Good night Joseph” I said
“Good night Jaime” he said with a
bit of a grin. I grinned back and followed Billie Joe out into the hall.
“Night Jai” He said
“Night Billie, Night Jakob” I said
“Good night Jaime” He said through
a yawn. I watched them go into Billie Joe’s room and went back to mine, going back to bed and going to sleep after a
while. The next time I woke up it was 7am. I quietly walked down the hall to the bathroom and than went down to Billie’s
room, peeking my head in and saw all 3 boys playing on the bed. Joseph and Jakob were trying to push Billie Joe off the bed.
“What are you playing?” I asked, going
in
“Jaime, quick get out of the sharks water”
Squealed Jakob. I pretended to be scared and ran over to the bed, jumping on.
“That was close, you nearly got eaten”
Joseph said
“Yeah, you can be on our side now, we’re
trying to push Dad into the shark’s water, because he won’t let us have pancakes” Jakob said. Billie Joe
grinned at me.
“Well that’s a good enough reason
to push someone into the shark’s water, let’s get him” I said
“Hey, that’s un fair, 3 against 1”
Billie Joe complained playfully
“yeah but Jaime wants pancakes too”
Protested Joseph
“I do” I said
“No pancakes” He said. The 2 boys
and I shoved with all our might, to get Billie Joe into the sharks water. He was picking up his sons and dropping them carefully
back onto the bed before tickling them.
“Quick I got him, push” I said holing
Billie Joe around the chest pinning his arms to his side. Joseph and Jakob shoved his legs off the bed and I let him go.
“if I’m going in, your coming with
me” He yelled grabbing Jakob who squealed and wriggled around, trying to get away. Billie Joe landed on the floor, Jakob
on top of him and they both started laughing.
“Looks like we’re having pancakes”
He said. The 2 boys and I cheered. I helped Jakob back up onto the bed and than offered Billie Joe my hand. He got back up
on the bed and grinned.
“Now everyone get Jaime” He said and
instantly the 2 boys were on top of me, tickling me all over. I laughed and tried to fight them off, but Billie Joe pinned
me down by straddling my legs and holding down my arms so the boys could tickle me without me interfering. I laughed and squealed,
trying to ignore the fact that Billie Joe, being on top of me was making me wet.
“I leave you 3 boys alone for 5 minutes
and you start ganging up on a girl” Said a voice from the door
“Uncle Mike” Joseph and Jakob yelled
and instantly got off the bed running over. Billie Joe got off me and grinned, shrugging.
“I couldn’t help myself” He
said before looking over at Mike.
“Hey Jaime” He called out
“Hey Mikey, what’s up?” I asked
getting off the bed and going over, hugging him and kissing his cheek.
“Nothin much, heard you were coming to our
part of Cali, so I thought I’d come over” He said
“You’re just in time for pancakes
right Dad?” Joseph asked
“Yep” Billie Joe said
“Jaime helped us push him into the sharks
water” Jakob said, nodding
“Ooohhh, wow, well let’s start cooking,
I’m starved” Mike said. We all went into the kitchen and the boys showed Mike what I gave them while I started
helping Billie Joe with the pancakes.
“They love you” Billie Joe said as
he mixed up the batter
“Only because I bought them Ipods”
I laughed. He laughed and put a bit of butter into the hot pan.
“you’re quite handy in the kitchen”
I observed
“Livin on your own for a few years does
that” He shrugged as he started putting the mixture in circles in the pan. I set the table with maple syrup, sugar,
cream, lemon juice and chopped up some strawberries and than Billie Joe served them u and we started eating.
“Mom’s coming to get us today”
Joseph said to me
“Wow, you looking forward to seeing her?”
I asked
“Yeah, I miss her. But staying with dad
is so much fun, especially with you around” he said. I grinned and took a bite of a maple syrup and cream covered pancake.
By the time the dishes were done and we were all dressed Adrianne had turned up and I was not looking forward to meeting her.
I was showing Joseph and Jakob how to work their Ipods when Billie led her into the living room where we were on the floor.
They both jumped up and greeted their mother. I stood up and stood awkwardly behind.
“Adrianne, this is a friend of mine, Jaime
Cobain, Jaime this is Adrianne Armstrong” He said
“nice to meet you” I said, smiling
and offering her my hand
“You too, I have your cd at home, it’s
very good” She said shaking my hand
“Thank you” I said.
“You boys packed?” She asked her children,
they were, Billie Joe and I made sure of that. When they were saying goodbye to Billie Joe they both hugged and kissed him
and he returned it and waved them off. It was really quite cute. We went back inside and started cleaning up after them before
bringing the song writing stuff out into the living room where we worked through lunch and way past dinner to 11:30pm. We
got a couple of songs finished, complete with music and than sat around for a while, just talking and having a few beers.
“Billie, I’ve been thinking”
I said softly as he played gently with my fingers
“Of what?” He asked
“Well, us” I said. He cocked his head
to the side and looked at me
“What about us?” He asked
“We’ve known each other for what?
2-3 months? You’re a really good friend” I said
“Thank you” He said
“I guess, what I’m trying to say is,
well I don’t really know what I wanna say” I said with a laugh
“Just say what you feel” he prompted
“I don’t know how I feel, that’s
the thing” I said. He stayed quiet, silently urging me to continue.
“I don’t want a relationship, but
I don’t want to not be with you” I said. He nodded.
“Well, I guess we could go abck to what
we were, if that’s what you want” He said
“What do you want?” I asked
“To be with you” He answered, brushing
his hand across my cheek.
“None of that emotional bullshit?”
I asked
“No” He said. I half smiled. He leaned
forwards and kissed me. When he pulled away we sat and looked at each other for a while. I broke the eye contact first and
finished my beer, putting it on the coffee table.
“You got any fantasies?” I asked
“A few, you?” He asked
“Yeah” I answered
“Well, what are they?” He said with
a grin
“You first” I said
“I’ve always wanted to do role play,
like a teacher student thing or a friend’s father type thing” He said
“Really? Me too… weird” I said
“What else?” he asked
“I’d like to have a 3some” I
said, blushing a little
“With another male or another female?”
He asked
“I dunno, both maybe” I said
“if it was a guy, who would you choose?”
He asked and I remembered having this conversation with AJ
“Maybe Nick and you” I said with a
grin
“You and Nick have a past?” He asked
“Yeah we fucked once, that was it, than
I got with AJ and he got with Taz” I said
“I see” He said
“What’s more of yours?” I asked
“This ones really weird, it’s so fucked
up it’s not funny” He said
“Tell me” I said
“I’ve always wanted to try and sing
while I’m getting head” He said. I nodded.
“Maybe that one could be arranged”
I said
“I’d feel like such an idiot”
He said
“So what? It’d only us who know about
it” I said
“Maybe. Have you got any weird ones?”
He asked
“The weirdest fantasy I’ve got is
being filmed” I said
“Really?” He asked shocked
“Yeah” I answered
“We can do that” He said
“Wouldn’t you worry about one of the
boys seeing it?” I asked
“Nah, I’ve got a safe” He said
“What about robbers?” I asked
“Well there’s always recording it
to DVD, downloading it to my Ipod video and than I’d have it everywhere I went” He said. I laughed and shook my
head.
“Let’s do it” He said
“film us fucking?” I asked
“Yeah, we could make like our own personal
amateur porno” He said
“I dunno” I said
“Oh come on, it’ll be so fun”
He said
“Maybe another time” I said
“Ok than” He said. We were quiet for
a little while.
“You know, when I saw you playing with Joseph
and Jakob this morning on your bed, I nearly cried. Every time I see you with them it makes me wanna cry” I said
“Maybe because it’s such a contrast
to what I’m like on stage or around other adults” He said
“Maybe” I agreed
“We should get to bed” He said looking
at his watch
“Hmm, yeah” I said. He stood and pulled
me up.
“Yours or mine?” He asked
“What?” I asked
“Where are you sleeping? Yours or mine?”
He asked
“Uhh, maybe we should sleep separately”
I said
“Ok, fair enough” He said as we walked
towards the bedrooms. We stopped at his room and he smiled at me.
“Goodnight Jaime” He said
“Goodnight Billie Joe” I answered
and kissed his cheek before walking down to my room. I closed the door and got changed, sliding into bed and going to sleep.
Chapter 7
I woke to the sound of yelling and slowly got
out of bed, going to the bedroom door and peeking out. I could see Adrianne and Billie Joe standing in front of each other,
Adrianne was screaming at Billie Joe about something and Billie Joe was yelling back. I closed the door and sat on the bed.
Not wanting to get involved, I put my headphones in my ears and listened to my
ipod, every now and than listening to them yelling to see if they were done. It was 12 noon when I decided enough was enough
and worked up the courage to make my appearance. As I walked down the ahll I yawned, loudly and closed my eyes lids a bit
so it looked like I was half asleep. When I reached the living room there was an icy silence.
“Oh hey Adrianne, nice to see you again”
I said smiling. She nodded curtly.
“hey billie, you want a coffee?” I
asked him
“No thank jai” He said softly. I nodded
and went into the kitchen.
“Let’s not do this now, wait until
jaime’s not around” I heard him say to her
“Yeah, get back your skank” Adrianne
said in a voice just loud enough for me to hear. I ignored it and kept making my coffee. I heard the front door slam and turned
around as Billie Joe came into the kitchen. He looked really angry.
“She’s got no fucking right”
He started saying and yanked open a cupboard. I watched as he pulled down a bottle of Bourbon and started opening the cap.
“Billie” I said. He looked at me for
a minute and than put the bottle back in the cupboard, slamming the door. I got my coffee and sat at the kitchen table, waiting
until he’d calmed down. He walked around the house, throwing and punching things. By the time I was finished my coffee
there was crap all over the floor and he was still going. I washed up the dishes and turned around when I heard him come in
again.
“I’m going out” he said coldly
before turning on his heel and walking away. I didn’t say anything. When he was gone I started cleaning up, folding
up the clothes he’d thrown, made the beds he’d unmade and started picking up the pieces of glass from where he’d
thrown a photo frame of himself and Adrianne on their wedding day. I put the photo in a draw and threw the frame out. When
the house was clean again I got Billie Joe’s guitar and the songs we’d been working on and sat outside, doing
some more work on them. I heard him arrive home and glanced in through the door to see him with Mike and Tre behind him as
he walked out the back.
“Welcome home” I said with a bit of
a grin
“I’m sorry I left you here, I just
needed to get out before I did something really stupid” He said
“it’s ok, I cleaned up for you though”
I said
“Yeah I saw, thanks” He replied. Mike
and Tre appeared out the back, each with a beer.
“Hey babe” Mike said kissing my cheek
“Hey Mike, Hey Tre” I said Tre also
kissed my cheek and grinned.
“Heya” He said
“Whatcha workin on?” Mike asked, reaching
for the notebook
“Just some songs” I shrugged and put
Billie Joe’s guitar down.
“Wow, you’ve got a few done”
He said
“Yeah, Billie Joe’s helped me”
I said
“I said not to worry about adding my name”
He added
“I’m gonna put his name in the liner
notes along with mine, it’s his song just as much as it is mine” I said
“Wanna sing one for us?” Tre asked
“Not really” I said
“Aww come on, it’ll be cool, some
awesome feed back for you” Mike insisted. I looked at Billie Joe who smiled
“Ok” I said. Mike handed the song
book back to me and I found a bit of a sad one and started playing the basic riff on the guitar, nodding my head in time with
it.
“I got myself in a little trouble last night,
that’s what happens when you’re alone. I accidently cut myself last night, or was it accidently on purpose? I
can’t remember. Shit happens when your lonely, shit that you need to do, they don’t get done because that’s
what happens when your lonely” I sang, watching Billie Joe mime along
“My heart broke last night and I can’t
do anything about it. I’m trying to live my life, because shit happens when you’re lonely, but the pain of losing
it all is still there. I lost everything last night, it’s all gone, never to return. Say goodbye to the old me and hello
to new me. The me that got in trouble last night for a tiny little mistake.” I kept singing and looked at Billie Joe.
He nodded. I finished up the song and looked at Mike and tre who smiled.
“It was beautiful” Tré smiled
“Yeah, it’s a nice song” Mike
agreed. I grinned. They stayed for a couple of hours and we all just sat around and talked. Eventually though they left and
Billie Joe and I sat quietly.
“You didn’t really wake up when you
said this morning did you?” He asked
“No, I heard you 2 arguing and listened
to my Ipod until 12” I said
“I’m really sorry” He said
“It’s ok” I said. He reached
over and rested his hand on my thigh, giving it a rub and smiling at me.
“You wanna have a bath?” He asked
me
“Ok” I said. We both stood and went
into his bathroom which had a claw-foot bathtub that was deep and big enough for 2, no spa jets though. He started running
the bath, adding rose scented bubble bath and grinned at me.
“How about some music too” he said
and pressed play on a concealed stereo which I hadn’t noticed before now
“Any other surprises in here?” I asked
“No, if we want beer, we have to go to the
kitchen” He said. I laughed. He started undressing. I did the same. By the time both of us were naked the bath was almost
full. I stepped in first and lowered myself into the hot, but not too hot, water. Billie Joe shut off the water and got in
too, leaning back at the other end of the tub.
“Now this brings back some memories”
I laughed. He laughed too and nodded. We sat in a nice silence, just looking at each other. He leaned forwards and grabbed
my hands, pulling me towards him. I laughed and turned around, laying back against him.
“What is it with you Miss Cobain?”
he asked, brushing his lips against my neck
“I don’t know Mister Armstrong”
I replied, tilting my head to the side. Of course the phone started ringing and he groaned.
“Hey I’m gonna get out now anyway
Billie, I’m kinda tired” I said
“Ok” He said. We both got out and
he wrapped a towel around himself before running for the phone. I let the water out and trudged down to my room in a towel.
I dressed for bed and was just climbing in when Billie Joe came in and sat on the edge of the bed.
“What?” I asked
“I just came to say goodnight” He
answered. I grinned and kissed his cheek. He left and I went to sleep. Over the next few days Billie Joe and I wrote a lot
of songs and practised others. He took me to the airport and saw me off and I went back to LA. I marched into kev’s
house where we were having another meeting and threw my notebook in front of him.
“23 songs in 7 days and they’re all
fucking excellent” I said to him. Taz and Jenn also had notebooks but they both took it back off the table when I put
mine down and the lose papers spread every where.
“I’m not done yet either, I think
the 3 of us should hole ourselves up for a couple of weeks and write” I said to them with a grin
“Good idea” Kev muttered as he scanned
some of the songs. He looked positively shocked.
“What’d you girls get done?”
I asked
“just a few songs” Taz said
“yeah not many” Jenn added
“Well don’t forget I had help”
I said
“We can’t use these, they have swearing”
Kev said
“Kev, we’re a rock band” Taz
said
“I won’t allow you to use these lyrics
or any others with swearing” He said
“Well hey we got ourselves 3 other potential
managers, I can just call’em up now” I said getting out my mobile. Kev didn’t say anything just watched
me. I dialled Billie Joe’s number and waited.
“Hello Jaime, this is Jakob” Said
a small boys voice
“Oh hey Jakob, how are you?” I asked,
a grin spreading across my face
“I’m good, dad told me to answer his
phone because it was you” he said
“I’m glad you did answer the phone
little man, you’ve made my day now” I said. I wondered if he was smiling.
“Do you wanna speak to Dad?” he asked
“Yes please” I said and waited, Taz
and jenn were giving me looks.
“That was Jakob, he’s so cute”
I said quickly
“Hey girl” Billie Joe said
“Billie you wanna be our manager?”
I asked
“What about Kev?” He asked
“He won’t let us use our lyrics cos
it’s got swearing” I said
“Punce, yeah whatever, you’d better
ask Tré and Mike though” He said
“Certainly” I said
“Ok” he said
“I should go” I said
“yeah, maybe, I gotta get these kids to
the park before they kill me” He said. I laughed.
“Cya Billie” I said
“Bye Jaime” He replied and I hung
up.
“Done and done, thanks for everything Kev”
I said, gathering my notebook and papers together.
“Jaime wait, why do you have to be so mean
now? Why can’t we reach a compromise” he said
“Because a compromise isn’t what we
want Kev, we want our thing” Jenn said gently
“This is our dream Kev, we want to be rock
stars, not pop stars which is what you’re trying to turn us into” I said
“I’m trying to do what’s best
for you, I don’t want you guys to go through what we did, all the heartache and the months and months at a time that
we didn’t have any money and than the years we went through without doing a single thing for the group” he said
“But the thing is Kev in order to get to
the top, we need to hit the bottom a few times and we definitely need to make our own mistakes. You say me shaking up with
Green Day was a bad thing, it might be, but I wanna learn that for myself and god give me strength but I think I’ve
fallen in love with Billie and Kev, you saying that I’m a bitch isn’t going to change that” I said and as
I was going through whagt I said in my head, I realised what I’d said aloud and nearly died. The moment was short lived
because Nick burst through the door and he looked positively shit scared.
“Nick what’s wrong?” I asked
“It’s Brian, he’s in hospital.
God why don’t you people have your phones turned on” He said and sat in a seat, tears spilling from his eyes.
“What’s happened to him?” I
asked, putting my notebook down and kneeling beside him
“It’s his heart again” He choked
out
“Come on, let’s go” Kev said.
I have my car” Nick said
“I’ll drive” I said to him,
taking his keys. I grabbed up my notebook and we all raced out to the group of cars parked in Kev’s huge driveway.
“Ill go with Kev” Taz said quietly.
I nodded and got in nick’s car, with him in the passenger seat and Jenn in the back. The drive to the hospital was silent,
all of us praying for Brian. When we got there, Nick lead us all through the hospital to a waiting room where Leigh was holding
Baylee on her knee. She looked up when we all arrived and managed a half smile.
“Are you ok?” Kev asked her. She shrugged.
“Hey Bay, wanna come for a walk with me?”
I asked Baylee, so Kev and Leigh could talk
“Ok, can we get a drink?” he asked
“Sure” I said. Leigh smiled gratefully
at me and I got him off her knee and held his hand as we walked down the hall.
“Do you know what’s wrong with my
daddy?” He asked
“No, Bay, I don’t” I answered
“Mommy says that he’s sick again and
his heart is sore” He informed me
“Well that’s why he’s here,
so he can get better and his heart can feel better” I said as we stopped at a drink machine. I got out some coins and
put the right amount in, letting him choose his own drink. He chose Pepsi Max. We walked around for a while until we found
a balcony and we went out there for a while. I rang Billie Joe.
“twice in one day, you miss me?” he
asked with a laugh
“I’m at the hospital” I said
“Why? Are you ok?” He asked
“I’m fine. It’s Brian, he’s
heart is playing up again” I said
“Do you want me to fly to LA?” He
asked
“No, it’s ok. I don’t even know
why I called you” I said
“It’s ok, you let me know if there’s
anything at all I can do” he said
“I will” I said
“You go and see if he’s ok”
He said
“Ok” I said
“Bye sweetie” He said
“Bye” I said and hung up. I took Baylee
back to the waiting room and AJ and howie had since arrived. I went and sat beside Jenn.
“What’s goin on?” I whispered,
watching AJ out of the corner of my eye
“He’s having emergency surgery, but
he should be fine” She replied
“Good” I said
“The doctor said there was no point for
us all ebing here” She said
“Fuck him” I said
“Wanna write?” She asked
“Ok, should get Taz” I said. I looked
around and saw Taz beside Nick, rubbing his back. I stood and went over.
“You cool Nicky?” I asked him
“Yeah” he said softly
“Jenn and I were gonna do some writing”
I said to Taz softly
“Ok, let’s do t” she said. I
nodded. She kissed nick’s forehead and came over t us. We shifted into the corner, away from everyone and started talking
quietly. That was how we wrote. We talked first and than we wrote about our conversations, if they were meaningful. By the
time Brian had gotten out of surgery and was awake we’d written a song called ‘Broken Hearts’ which was
ultimately about Brian being in hospital and all of us being here. 2 of us went in at a time and only stayed for 5 minutes.
When I went in he smiled at me weakly.
“hey Rok” I whispered
“Jaime” He croaked. I gave him a kiss
on the cheek and rubbed his hand, telling him to be strong before I left. AJ came over to talk to me when I emerged from the
room and I tensed up.
“I just wanted to say I’m sorry, for
everything” He said softly
“Ok” I said
“I know, I’m not the one for you but
maybe we could be friends?” he asked
“I don’t think so” I said. He
nodded.
“You need a ride home? Nick said you came
in his car” he said
“I’ll walk” I answered
“It’s just a lift home Jai, you don’t
even have to speak to me. I’d rather we drove in silence than have you walking around at night by yourself” he
said
“Ok, fine” I said. I said goodbye
to everyone and arranged to meet up with Taz and jenn in the arfternoon for some more song writing. We agreed that my house
would be better amd jenn asked if she could bring Drake. I said yes, cos Drake was so cute. AJ and I went down to his car
and I got in the passenger side. The drive wasn’t completely silent, we talked a little, mainly about the weather. I
gave him directions to my place and half smiled at him before going inside and locking the door. I went straight to bed and
woke up half an hour before the girls were supposed to be here. I had a quick shower and threw on some clothes and made sure
I had food and stuff just before they come through the door. We had some food and got drinks before putting Drake on the floor
with his toys and got writing. We didn’t have a break until 7pm and that was only because my landline was ringing.
“Hello?” I answered
“This is Adrienne Amstrong, is this Jaime
Cobain?” Said a voice
“Yes, how are you Adrianne?” I asked
“Do you know where Billie Joe is?”
She asked
“Well when I spoke to him he was on his
mobile, why?” I asked
“He hasn’t brought the kids home yet”
She said
“He’s probably at Mike’s place”
I said
“Mike said he hasn’t seen him”
She said
“well I can try and call him if you want”
I said
“I’d appreciate that, thank you”
She said
“What number can I contact you on?”
I asked. She gave me her number and hung up. I dialled Billie Joe’s number and listened to it ring.
“Jaime” he said breathlessly
“Adrienne’s shitty at you” I
said
“Why?” he asked
“because you’ve still got the kids”
I said
“She was supposed to pick them up an hour
ago. I was just out at the car to take them over when you rang” He said
“She got my number” I said
“Don’t worry about her. I’ll
call you tomorrow ok?” He said
“Yup” I answered. We said goodbye
and I hung up, shaking my head at my 2 friends. Jenn was giving Drake a feed and he was slowly going to sleep. We put him
in my room and wen back to our writing. At 11 we called it quits with pans to do it all again the next day at the same time.
When they were gone I sprawled out on the lounge with a beer and flicked through the channels, settling on a late night movie
which was pretty crappy. I went to bed at around 1 and didn’t slep very well, getting up at 8am. I decided to do some
shopping and got ready. I drove to the mall and got a bunch of new clothes and looked at guitars. I even signed a few autographs.
I tested out a few Fender guritars and decided that the one I have now will do me for another few years yet, so instead I
bought 5 new guitar picks, a metal slide for my acoustic guitar and a new shoulder strap that was black with ‘rock star’
written on it. When I was finished there I drove o the super market and got more food and drinks for this afternoon and went
home. I was in the middle of changing my lounge room around when Taz, Jenn and Kev showed up. Kev helped me push the tv cabinet
against the wall and than I sat down.
“What are you doin here?” I asked
him
“I didn’t get to finish looking at
those songs” He said. I handed him the notebook and turned to Jenn and Taz.
“Are we ready to get stuck into this?”
I asked
“Let’s fuckin do it” Taz said.
Kev went out to the balcony to read through the songs while Jenn, Taz and I started writing again, picking up exactly where
we left off the previous night. This time the interruption was Kev coming back inside after 6 hours. He sat down and looked
between the 3 of us.
“I’ve made a huge decision”
He said
“Which is…?” Taz prompted
“I’m going to be way more lenient
with you guys, because I know that you’ve got the potential to be fucking huge, even with swearing. Jaime I respect
you and I love you and since you seem to be the leader of this band I’ll leave most decisions for you and your band”
He said. We all dove on him at the same time, saying thank you over and over.
“I noticed that Billie Joe helped you write
a lot of these songs” He said to me when we all had a beer
“Yeah, he’s an amazing writer, he
didn’t want his name in the liner notes but I’m putting them there if we use a song we wrote” I said
“I was thinking that perhaps he could be
a writer for us” Kev said
“That’d be cool, but he wouldn’t
write for us, he’d write with us” I said
“Well that’s ok, it wouldn’t
hurt you all to have someone like him and the rest of Green Day around, though I still maintain the fact that they’re
a bad influence on you all” He said
“Yeah, but how much fun have we been having?”
Jenn said
“True” Kev said with a smile. Kev
stayed for a while, also contributing to a song and than we had another few beers before everyone left. I settled into bed
and listened to my Ipod while I read for a while, eventually drifting to sleep, only to wake up to my ringing phone.
“Hello” I said, sitting up and trying
to sound awake
“Hey, whatcha doin?” Came Taz’s
voice
“I was asleep” I aid and yawned
“I’m sorry, get dressed” she
said with a chuckle
“Why?” I whinged
“Kev’s got a surprise for us and he
wants us to meet him at his place in an hour” She said
“Fine” I groaned and hung up. I reluctantly
showered and dressed, grabbing my notebook with songs in it, just in case and drove to Kev’s place. When I arrived I
went into the house and found the 3 of them waiting for me.
“What’s goin on?” I asked dropping
into the bean bag
“We’re here to talk about the songs
that are going on the album” Kev said
“But we haven’t really had a chance
to go over them or learn them” Jenn said. He frowned.
“You’ve got 2 weeks before you go
into the studio, I suggest you learn some” He said
“I vote we do it right now” I said,
anything to get away from Kev. He was starting to piss me off.
“Where are we gonna do it?” Taz asked
“Fucked if I know” I said
“What about if we flew to Rodeo, I’m
sure BJ or Tré would let us practice there” Taz said
“You just wanna see Tré again” I teased
“Yes, yes I do” She said
“Let’s fucking do it” jenn said
“What about Drake?” Kev asked
“Drake can come too” She shrugged
“I don’t want Drake around them”
He said quietly
“He’s too young to be influenced by
them Kev” Jenn said
“What if you all have too much to drink
and Drake’s hungry or left alone?” Kev asked
“Kev, look, Billie Joe is a father too,
when I was there we didn’t drink until the kids had gone to bed and even than we only had 1 or 2, Mike and Tré are both
awesome with the 2 boys they wouldn’t be any different with Drake, lighten up Kev” I said. He sighed and nodded.
“Ok, I’ll fly out in a few days to
see how you’re going” he said. I rang Billie Joe while we were still at Kev’s place.
“Hello” Said a girls voice
“Uhh, hi, is Billie Joe there please?”
I asked, suddenly over come by jealousness even though Billie Joe and I weren’t together.
“Who’s speaking please?” She
asked
“Jaime Cobain” I said
“Oh sure, hold on, I’ll go wake him”
She said
“If he’s asleep don’t worry
about it” I said
“No, he told me to get him if you called”
She said
“Oh ok” I said
“One second” She said and I heard
her speaking softly to Billie Joe.
“Hey Jaime” He said after a while
“Hey, who was that?” I asked. He chuckled.
“That was the baby-sitter. I’m not
feeling very well and I’ve got the kids again, so I called her in” He said
“Oh ok” I said
“What’s up?” He asked
“Well the girls and I needed some where
to practice and I was hoping we could use your place, but if you’re not well, we can just rent a hall or something”
I said
“Don’t be ridiculous, you all welcome
here anytime. The kids will probably like it better if you were here instead of Trisha anyway. They don’t really like
her” he said and sneezed. He did sound a bit crook.
“We can get a flight today, is that ok with
you?” I asked
“Sure, but you’ll have to get one
of the others to pick you up” He said
“That’s ok, I think Taz is organizing
Tré” I said looking over to where taz was talking on her mobile.
“Ok” He said and coughed.
“I’ll let you go so you can have a
rest and when I get there I’ll look after you ok?” I said
“No, don’t come near me I don’t
want you to get sick too” He said
“Yes, I’ll make you chicken soup and
a honey and lemon drink” I said. Jenn was cooing at me. I flipped her off and turned around.
“That does sound kinda nice” He said
“I”ll talk to you in a few hours ok?”
I asked
“Ok” He said
“sleep tight Billie” I said softly
“Safe trip” He said and hung up.
Chapter 8
Jenn, Taz and I were sitting together on the plane
which was practically empty and we were having a good old time. The 3 of us were singing some songs, that people had requested
when they realized we were Dysfunct. When we landed we had to sign a few autographs before we got off. We got our stuff and
saw Mike and Tré waiting near some seats, Tré was wearing a cowboy hat and a bright red cowboy shirt. Taz nearly died of excitement
when she saw him. She ran over and they hugged and had a bit of a pash. Mike just shrugged and gave jenn and I a hug each
and than asked who’s baby was in the pram I was pushing.
“That’s my son Drake” Jenn said
“He’s very cute” He said, bending
down to say hello. Drake giggled up at him. He was being christened next month and I was going to be his god mother.
“BJ said that you were welcome to stay with
him as well Jenn” Tré said when him and taz ahd finished feeling each other up
“You could stay with me but my girlfriend
would bitch at you every 3 mili seconds” Mike rolled his eyes
“I’ll stay with BJ, as long as he
doesn’t mind about Drake” She said
“Nah, he loves kids. Where’s all your
stuff?” Tré asked
“Over there” I said, pointing to a
trolley loaded up with 2 electric guitars, 1 bass guitar, Taz’s drum kit and a couple of big amps.
“Right than, let’s go” Mike
said, heading over to the trolley. We pushed it all out to the cars and loaded up Tré’s van with it all.
“We’ll meet you 3 at BJ’s”
Tré said, holding Taz’s hand firmly
“Now Taz, you know the rules, no sex with
a drummer from Green Day” I said
“Fuck off, you’re rooting the guitarist”
She said
“Indeed, but we are not romantically involved”
I said
“But you want-“ She started before
I cut her off with the death stare
“We’ll meet you there” Jenn
said. We got into Mike’s car and Tré and Taz got into his. We drove to Billie Joe’s place, losing Taz and Tré
on the way. When we arrived Joseph and Jakob were playing outside with Trisha. When they saw me get out of the car they quickly
ran over and hugged me.
“Hey, what’s up guys?” I asked
returning their hugs and kissing them each on the cheek.
“Daddy told us that you were coming, so
we’ve been really excited” Jakob said
“Yeah, are you gonna look after us instead
of Trisha?” Joseph asked quietly
“Maybe, we’ll see, now let me introduce
you to my friend. Jenn this is Joseph and this big fella here is Jakob, guys, this is Jennisen and her son Drake” I
said
“Hi” The 2 boys chorused
“Hey it’s nice to meet you”
Jenn said, shaking each of their hands.
“Drake is cute” Jakob said
“Yeha he is” Jenn said
“Hi, I’m Trisha Paulson” Said
Trisha finally coming over
“Jaime Cobain, this is Jennisen Rush”
I said
“Ncie to meet you” She said
“Why don’t we go in and say hi to
your dad?” I asked the 2 boys. They cheered
“But we gotta be real quiet” I said
and Mike, Jenn and Trisha followed us inside where the 2 boys and I tiptoed down the hall to Billie Joe’s room. I pushed
open the door and saw Billie Joe lying on his side, facing the opposite wall.
“He’s sleeping” Jakob whispered
kinda loudly
“No I’m not” Came Billie Joe’s
reply. He really did sound sick in person.
“Jaime’s here” Joseph said.
Billie Joe rolled onto his back and manged a smile at me.
“Hey” I said going in and sitting
beside him on the bed. He looked awful.
“Don’t come near me” He said
trying to push me away
“I’m not gonna get sick” I said,
touching my hand to his forehead. He was burning up.
“Jesus, Billie you’ve got a horrible
fever” I said. He sniffled and coughed, covering his mouth
“I feel like fucking shit” He mumbled
“You stay put, I’m gonna get you a
cool cloth, some water and some soup” I said. He nodded. I stood and went back to the door where everyone was crowded
around it.
“Come on, let him rest” I said, closing
the door behind me.
“Will you play games with us tonight?”
Jakob asked
“And get us McDonald’s for dinner?”
Joseph asked
“I’ll play a couple of games, but
no McDonald’s” I said
“Awww Jaime” They wined at the same
time
“I’ll make you burgers” I said.
That seemed to satisfy them.
“Well, since you’re here, I might
go, just tell BJ he can pay me whenever” Trisha said
“Ok, it was nice too meet you” I said.
She waved goodbye and left. I got the boys settled in front of the tv with a kids movie and Mike helped Jenn and I to shift
our stuff into Jakob’s room where there was a sofa bed as well as a cot set up, plus Jakob’s bed. I left Jenn
to get Drake settled and went into the bathroom, getting a face cloth and wetting it with cold water. I went back down to
Billie Joe’s room and went in, closing the door behind me.
“Jaime?” He mumbled
“Yeah baby it’s just me” I said
going over and sitting beside him again. He was on his back with one arm under his head and the other across his stomach.
“I’m just gonna put this cold cloth
on your forehead ok?” I said. He nodded. I gently wiped the sweat from his brow and bent down to kiss it, before laying
the cloth across his head, partially covering his eyes.
“Do you feel like eating?” I asked
“No, but I’m thirsty” he mumbled
“Ok, sit tight I’ll go get you some
cold water” I said and left. When I emerged from his room I found Joseph and Jakob at the door, listening. They tried
to scramble away but I saw them and shook my head.
“Come on, don’t harrass your dad”
I said
“What’s for dinner?” Jakob asked
“Food, let me just get your dad something
to drink and I’ll have a look at what we’ve got” I said. They followed me into the kitchen where I set about
getting some water in a glass and added some ice and a tiny drop of lemon juice. I found some straws and put one in, before
telling the boys to stay put and asked Mike to keep them there before going back down to Billie Joe’s room and going
in.
“Here, can you sit up?” I asked. He
struggled a little but managed to sit up. He looked at me through half open eye lids and I nearly started crying. He looked
so sick and helpless. I handed him the drink and he sipped from the straw.
“God that’s good” He said.
“Don’t gulp it down, just take sips
ok? I’ll come back and check on you in an hour” I said
“I really wanna kiss you” He said
“Lay down” I instructed. He slowly
lay himself back down and I smiled.
“You wait there a second ok? I’ll
be back” I said. He nodded and I left again, this time the boys weren’t outside the door. I went into the kitchen
and looked through the freezer, finding nothing that looked even remotely interesting. I grabbed my wallet from the counter
and went into the lounge room to find Mike and the 2 boys, plus Jenn building a fort in the lounge room.
“Wouldn’t Rolling Stones magazine
love a photo of this” I said. Mike popped his head up and grinned at me
“what’s for dinner Jaime?” He
asked
“You, my dear are going to get us all Macca’s”
I said
“What?” Jakob asked
“McDonald’s. In Australia we say Macca’s”
I said. They cheered. I gave him the $30 I had in my wallet and shrugged.
“Just get whatever you can with that. It’s
all I’ve got, short of giving you my bank card” I said
“Done. You want me to take the boys?”
he asked
“Please, Billie Joe needs some TLC, desperately”
I said
“You and me gotta have a talk when I get
abck” He said to me
“Ok” I said, knowing exactly what
it was about.
“Better tell Taz and Tré not to come for
a while too” Jenn said
“Yeah” I agreed
“Will you keep an ear out for Drake? I’ll
go with Mike and the kids” She said
“Sure thing, do you have any bottles for
him?” I asked
“They’re all in the fridge”
She said. I nodded. Mike gathered the boys up and they left. I went back into Billie Joe’s room and saw him leaning
up on one elbow and sipping his drink. He smiled at me.
“Not even when I was married did I get this
much attention” He said
“Well, I know what it’s like to be
sick and not have anyone” I said crawling onto the bed beside him. He lay back down and turned his head to look at me.
“You still wanna kiss me?” I asked
“I don’t care what I do, I just awnna
be with you, feel you” He said
“Close your eyes” I whispered. He
did as I asked and I wiped his neck over with the cloth before bending my head to kiss him gently on the cheek and than down
to his neck. He moaned a little and I felt him take in a deep breath. I pushed down the sheet he was under and kissed my way
down his chest to his stomach and back up again. Taking my time and making sure he enjoyed it. When I reached his cheek again
I thought about stopping and decided against it, pressing my lips to his. So what if I paid the price and got sick as well.
He’d be well enough to look after me. He slid his arms around my back and kissed me back. I broke the kiss after a while
and looked down into his eyes, he looked back into mine and smiled.
“I feel a little better now” He whispered
“You have to stay in bed at least for tonight
and see how you feel tomorrow” I said
“Ok” He said, closing his eyes. I
could tell he was going to sleep. He had started looking a little better.
“I love you Jaime” He murmured and
I felt his arms drop from my back. I leaned my head down so my mouth was near his ear and half smiled.
“I love you too Billie Joe” I whispered
and left the room. I went and washed my mouth out and took a Panadol, to try and prevent myself from getting sick. By the
time I went into the lounge room, Drake had started crying. I quickly went down into the room and lifted him from his cot.
“Hey sweetie pie, Mummy’s not here
right now. But Aunty Jaime will feed and change you” I cooed as I walked down to the kitchen. He stopped crying but
was still whimpering slightly. I put his bottle in the microwave for a couple of seconds and squeezed a bit out on my wrist
to test how hot it was. It was just right so I carried him over to the comfiest chair in Billie Joe’s house and propped
a couple of pillows under my arm and started feeding him. I was singing quietly, like Jenn did and didn’t notice when
there were footsteps. A shadow fell across me and I looked up, startled to see Billie Joe.
“That looks so natural for you” He
said. I smiled.
“You should be in bed” I said
“I can’t get back to sleep”
He said sitting on the couch, a decent distance away from Drake and I. he obviously knew that babies caught everything if
you weren’t careful. Yeah they needed to get sick every now and than but not as sick as Billie Joe was. I smiled at
him and looked down at Drake, resuming my singing. I glanced over at him and saw him miming along with me. When the bottle
was finished I carefully sat forwards and lay a cloth nappy over my shoulder and supported Drake’s head as I started
burping him. It took a good 10 minutes but when he did burp it was a good one. Both Billie Joe and I laughed. I cradled him
in my arms again and took him down to our room. When I lay him down he started crying, so I picked him back up and grabbed
his nappy bag, going back out to where Billie Joe was inspecting the fort from his seat on the couch.
“What’s Uncle Billie doing?”
I cooed to Drake when Billie Joe started making faces at us. Drake giggled and drooled.
“He’s not gonna go to sleep now”
I said, sitting back down on the seat and cradling Drake in my arms, trying to rock him gently. He seemed to be wide awake
now.
“You look so beautiful like that”
Billie Joe said
“Like what?” I asked, lifting Drake
up so I was holding him against my shoulder. He played with my hair.
“With Drake. It looks like you’re
destined to be a mother, they way you hold him, the way he just plays with you. It’s beautiful. Natural” He said.
I smiled.
“Did you say something to me before? In
my room?” he asked. I remembered back to that moment and remembered what I said.
“Yeah” I answered softly
“what was it?” He asked
“I can’t remember” I said, looking
away and supporting Drake. Billie Joe nodded and slowly stood up.
“I’m gonna go and lie down again”
He said
“Ok, I’ll bring another drink in for
you after dinner” I said
“Speaking of dinner, where the hell is everyone?
Especially my kids” He said
“I sent them all to get Macca’s, I
thought you needed some peace and quiet, even if it is only for half an hour” I said
“Thank you” He said and blew me a
kiss. I caught it and blew one back. He caught it and held it over his heart. I smiled and watched him go back to his room.
A moment later I changed Drake and sang to him again. In no time he was asleep and I was putting him in his cot. Just as I
went back into the lounge room everyone arrived. Taz came in with a huge smile on her face, Tré’s was almost the same.
“What’s got you so happy?” I
asked her, going over and taking my guitar case off her
“I just had THE best sex ever” She
whispered and looked over at Tré who was in the process of flipping Jakob over his head
‘Ooohhh, taking it to the next level I see”
I grinned
“Fuck yeah, oh my god Jaime it was fucking
hott” She said
“Give me 2” I said holding my hand
out in the ‘rock’ symbol. She laughed and did the same, touching our fingertips together.
“Jaime, can I go see dad?” Joseph
asked
“Only if you’re really quiet and not
too long” I said. He nodded and ran, on his tip toes, down to Billie Joe’s room. When he went in I crept to the
door and peeked in, straining to hear. I didn’t want to eavesdrop, I just wanted to make sure he wasn’t whinging
about anything to his sick father.
“Dad, are you awake?” Joseph said
softly
“Yeah, what’s up Joey?” Billie
Joe answered, turning to face his son.
“Dad can Jaime be our new Mom? Jack and
I really love her” Joseph was saying. My hand flew to my mouth and my eyes widened
“She can’t just become your mom. It
has to be her decision and her and I would have to get married. Jaime doesn’t want to get married” Billie Joe
explained gently
“But you love her don’t you?”
Joseph said
“Yeah I do bud, but Jaime went through a
really rough relationship last year an she doesn’t want to get hurt again” Billie Joe replied
“Can’t you ask her? Jakob and I we’ll
help her love you back” He said
“How about we leave it for Jaime to decide”
Billie Joe asked, roughing his son’s hair a bit
“Ok” Joseph said reluctantly and slide
from the bed. I darted back down to the lounge room where Jenn handed me a Macca’s bag. I sat beside her, in bewilderment.
“What’s wrong?” She asked me
“Nothing, I, just. Nothing” I said
and shook my head, taking a handful of fries from the bag and eating a few. Joseph came out a while later and sat on the floor
in front of me, with his back against my legs.
“Oh, Jenn, Drake woke up, but I gave him
his bottle and changed him. He’s sleeping now” I said to her
“Thanks” she said with a smile. Mike
handed me my $30 back and grinned.
“My shout” Was all he said. I grinned
back and shoved it in my pocket, continuing my eating. When we were all done, Jenn and Mike helped me clean up while Taz and
Tré got the 2 boys to help them get some of our stuff out of the van.
“What’s goin on. You’ve been
really out if it since Joey went to talk to BJ” Mike said to me, basically cornering me in the kitchen
“The 2 boys want me to be their mum”
I said softly
“This entire family, with the exception
of Adrianne, absolutely adores you Jaime. Billie Joe especially. He would do anything for you” Mike said. Jenn came
in and raised her eyebrows at us.
“Let’s go outside and talk”
I said to them. I grabbed my smokes and we went outside, sitting at the table and chairs. I sparked up and drew back on my
smoke, holding it for a while and than blowing it out in a long blue stream.
“What’s goin on?” jenn asked
“Joseph and Jakob want me to be their mum”
I said
“Aww, how cute” She said
“I was just telling Jai how BJ would do
anything for her, and how they all love her” Mike said
“I love him too, I realise that now, but
I’m in a band that’s just getting started, it looked bad enough when I was with AJ, but now Billie Joe? People
will just think I’m sleeping my way to the top” I said
“That’s untrue, your band life and
your private life are kept separated in this particular genre of music. Sure, there are some songs about ex girlfriends that
we’ve got and all of our songs are based on feelings, but they’re just feelings. I don’t sing about my girlfriend
and how fucked up she is. BJ doesn’t sing about his kids or his divorce. Tré doesn’t sing about his divorces,
his kids or his ex girlfriends. None of us include names.
“Jai, your fnas and our fans won’t
even know if you and Billie Joe got together until you both decided to make it official” Mike said. I puffed away on
my smoke.
“It’s not just that. How could I be
a mother to kids that I’ve met twice? Not only that but I live in LA, nor would I be able to move until we had at least
3 albums out” I said
“Now you’re just making excuses”
Jenn said
“Ok, you want the real reason I won’t
get too deeply involved with him?” I snapped
“Yes” Both said
“Because I’m scared I’ll lose
him and you guys. Like I lost every other person I’ve loved” I said
“That’s not gonna happen Jai”
Mike said
“I just need some time to figure everything
out. Than who knows?” I said
“What do you have to figure out?”
Jenn asked
“Whether or not I’ve fallen in love
with the rock star or the person” I said
“Ok, that’s fair. But do you think
you should tell him?” Mike asked
“So that if I decide not to further our
relationship, he can be let down? No” I said
“I think he’d understand” Jenn
pointed out
“Hey, I’ve got a really cool idea,
let’s stay out of Jaime’s life” I said and stubbed out my cigarette, going inside
“Hey, you 3 are slacking off, where are
we gonna put this shit?” Tré said with a laugh. He was lugging one of the heaviest Amps we had.
“I don’t know” I said
“Well, do you think maybe you should go
and ask BJ?” He said sticking his tongue out at me
“Yes, fine I will” I said and went
down the hall to Billie Joe’s room. Joseph came out and grinned up at me.
“He says he’s feeling better and wants
to come out and play with us” He said
“Oh wow, well maybe he can come out for
a little while. I don’t want you boys to get sick though, you need to help me and my friends practice some songs”
I said
“Oh awesome, I’m gonna go tell Jack”
he said. I smiled and went into billie’s room. He was sitting up, a little colour had returned to his face, but he still
looked horrible.
“You ok?” I asked him
“I’m so sick of laying down, plus
I heard Tré and Mike” He said
“Yeah, they’re helping us” I
said
“I guess you guys wanna know where to put
all the stuff?” he asked
“Yup” I said
“Come on, I’ll show you” He
said, standing up. He swayed a little but balanced himself and nodded.
“I’m good, let’s go” He
said offering me his hand. I took it and let him lead me down the hall.
“Look who’s up and at’em”
Tré said
“Man, it’s so good to be able to move
without hurling” Billie Joe said, hugging both Mike and Tré quickly before grinning at Taz and Jenn
“And how are my lovely rock stars today?”
he asked them, accepting the hug they each gave him. As I watched my friends all together it was amazing how UN rock star
we all looked. Billie Joe was in a pair of pyjama pants with no shirt, Mike was wearing a geek shirt and a pair of normal
jeans, Tré was wearing that ridiculous cowboy get up, Taz was wearing a denim knee length skirt and a shirt with a monkey
hoodie and her ug boots, Jenn was wearing a pair of track suit pants and a long sleeve shirt that looked like Jason’s
and I was wearing a pair of jeans and a pink (yes pink) Transformers shirt. The only rock star thing about any of us was either
our hair, tattoo’s or eye make up (in my case I had dark eyeliner on).
“Why don’t we set all this up out
in the garage” Billie Joe said
“Oh god it’s been so long since I’ve
played in a garage” Taz said
“Same” Jenn and I chorused
“It’s been a good 10 years since any
of us played in a garage. After Dookie got big we usually hired a hall or something” Mike said
“Well that’s what we were gonna do,
but Jaime said BJ wouldn’t mind if we came here” Taz said
“All of you are more than welcome here any
time” Billie Joe said and grinned, picking up my guitar case.
“This way” He called and we all grabbed
some stuff before following him through a side door and into the garage, which was huge. It looked smaller than it actually
was. We set our stuff in the middle and looked around.
“You’ve got 4 walls to choose from”
Tré said
“We’ll have to inspect them all thoroughly”
I said. My 2 friends nodded.
“To check for anti-acoustics” Taz
said. I could no longer keep a straight face and cracked up, followed closely by Jenn and Taz. The 3 Green Day members were
looking at us strangely.
“Oh come on, we’re insane” Jenn
said and slapped my back. I grinned.
“I think we should have the wall furthest
from the neighbours” Taz said
“That’s logical, but the door’s
gonna be open anyway” Billie Joe said
“Yeah, but it won’t be AS loud”
Taz pointed out
“So, this wall than?” I asked taking
the amp I was carrying over to the west wall
“Perfect” Taz and Jenn said together.
Billie Joe helped me and Jenn start wiring everything up while the others, including the 2 kids went back to get more stuff
from the van. It only took another 15 minutes and when we were done Mike and Tré shifted a lounge to just infront of our set
up. The 3 of them sat down, Joseph and Jakob sat on Mike and Tré’s laps while Billie Joe sat in the middle and clapped
his hands together every few seconds.
“We want Dysfunct” he started chanting.
Soon the others had joined in. Taz shrugged and grabbed her drumsticks, sitting behind her kit and beating out a tune. I pulled
on my guitar and did a quick tune up, Jenn did the same with her bass. Billie Joe said something to Jakob and he went scuttling
off to the far side of the garage. The door started raising up and I laughed, turning to my friends, shrugging.
“Well, this will be the second time we’ve
performed for Green Day-“ Taz started
“3rd” Jenn and I said
“Ok, 3rd for you guys, 2nd
for me. I say we show off” She said simply
“So Wipe Out, that was a given” Jenn
nodded
“We should do Green Day songs” She
said with a shrug. We knew a lot of Green Day songs and had played a heap at our pub shows.
“Alright than” I grinned and winked
at my friends.
“Oh, oh, we should call ourselves like Pink
Day or something” Jenn said. We all cracked up laughing and I nodded.
“Pink Day it is” I said
“No, Orange Lime Green Day” Taz said.
I cracked up laughing and had to support myself on Jenn’s shoulder or I would’ve fallen over. Jenn was pissing
her self laughing and Taz was chuckling.
“Yeah, we’ll do that” Jenn said
“Ok, what first?” Taz asked
“You start us off on whatever song you want
and we’ll follow” I said
“Ahh, we’re gonna play that game again”
Jenn said
“Oh, I LOVE this game” Taz said and
sat back down. I winked again and turned to face Billie Joe, Mike, Tré, Joseph and Jakob who started clapping. Billie Joe
wolf whistled.
“Welcome, uhh, Gentleman to the first ever
live Orange Lime Green Day Concert” I said. The 3 older males cracked up and clapped. Joseph and Jakob looked a little
lost.
“We’re gonna play a little game up
here on stage. Our fucking awesome drummer, Ms Taz Cool, is going to play her drums and myself and Jenn Dirnt are gonna see
if we can guess what the song is and than play it for you” I said. Mike and Tré were cracking up at the use of their
last names. Billie Joe seemed to be waiting patiently for me to use his name. I smiled at him and turned to Taz who was thinking
hard. She grinned and started belting her drums. I concentrated hard, and looked over at Jenn who was also racking her brain.
I finally heard the song and spun around to the mic, starting the riff. Jenn heard it and joined in.
“Don’t wanna be an American Idiot”
I started singing and saw 5 faces light up. Billie Joe did the rock symbol with his fingers and I grinned, singing loudly
so I could be heard over the music. Even with the mic it was still hard to hear. When the song was finished I held up my hand
to Taz, signalling her not to start the next one for a second. She paused, arms above her head and nodded.
“If our gorgeous crowd know any of the songs
Taz plays feel free to yell them out” I said and nodded to Taz to continue. She started another one and I watched their
faces to see if they knew any. Jenn was the first to get it this time and when she played the bass line I recognised it as
St. Jimmy and started singing. I saw Billie Joe
singing along and Tré tapping his legs in time with Taz’s drum beat. Mike was waving his arms in the air. I remembered
back to the Green Day concert where Billie Joe and I first got together and grinned. When that was over I went over to Taz
and she leaned forwards so she could hear me. Jenn came over to listen as well.
“If you so decide to play Hitchin’
A Ride can you please, please, please follow my lead and just keep playing? I’m in the mood to fuck with some Green
Day minds” I said.
“Don’t forget about the kids”
Jenn pointed out
“When they see what I’m gonna do,
Tré and Mike will cover their eyes. I know it” I said
“Alright. I wasn’t gonna do Hitchin’
A Ride, but I’ll play it in a while for you” Taz said
“Thanks Taz” I grinned and went back
to my mic.
“Can a rocker get a beer around here?”
I said
“Jack, that’s your cue son”
Billie Joe said. Jakob hopped down and ran inside, emerging a few minutes later with a bag over his shoulder. He put it gently
on the ground and dug around inside it. I watched carefully. He pulled out 2 beers and handed 1 each to Mike and Tré. He got
a bottle of water out and handed it to Billie Joe and I smiled. Next he came over to us, carrying his bag and handed each
of us a beer, mine was last. He also gave me a rose.
“I picked it from out the back, don’t
tell Dad” he whispered
“aww, thanks, it’s beautiful”
I said, bending down and kissing his cheek. I tucked it behind my ear and opened my beer. He ran back down to where Billie
Joe and the others were sitting. All of them gave him 5. I took a long drink from my beer bottle and set it down in front
of me.
“I’ve yet to master the art of having
a smoke while I’m playing. I always manage to burn myself or only get 1 draw from it” I said. They all laughed.
I nodded to Taz and she thought for a second before playing another drum beat. This time I recogonised it instantly because
in the original of this song, there was no drum beat. We made one up. I played along to Time Of Your Life and shed a tear
or two. It was such a beautiful song. They played it at my year 12 farewell Disco as well as at my brothers funeral. When
that one was over I had another swig from my beer and listened to what Taz was playing.
“86” yelled out Tré. I laughed and
gave him a ‘thumbs up’ before singing and playing along. When we were finished with that one, Taz grinned and
started playing the drum beat to Minority. I knew that one straight away because it was my favourite. Well 1 of them at least.
“For crying out loud, she screamed unto
me. A free for all, FUCK’EM ALL” I said and paused my playing to give the finger on both hands. Next Taz started
playing another beat, that sounded familiar but I coulnd’t quite recognise it.
“Warning, live without warning” Billie
Joe sang and I grinned at him and started playing, singing along. This was a really catchy song and I saw Joseph bopping his
head to the music. When that song finished Taz whistled and I turned around to see her holding out her hand in the ‘rock’
symbol.
“Gimme 2” She said. I grinned and
leaned backwards, toughing my fingertips to hers. She winked at me and I turned to Jenn and held out my hand in the ‘rock’
symbol. She did the same, touching her finger tips to mine. She also gave me a knowing wink. Taz started us off and Jenn quickly
joined in. I grinned at Billie Joe and started playing as well.
“Do you break for distilled spirits. I need
a break as well, the well that inebriates the guilt 1, 2” I sang and pointed at the 5 males sitting on the lounge.
“1, 2, 3, 4” They yelled and I nodded
and played my guitar, bending down a little and making a face at them. Tré stood up and put Joseph in his seat and started
dancing around, like a complete idiot. Mike joined him and I could see Billie Joe debating with himself. He eventually stood
up and started dancing as well, only a little more slowly than the others. I had a flash back to the concert where Billie
Joe made me, Jenn and Nick go up on stage and sing and grinned.
“Cold turkey’s getting stale, tonight
I’m eating crow, fermented salmonella, poison oak no” I sang and pointed at the to sing. They did, screaming at
the top of their lungs.
“Troubled times, you know I cannot lie,
I’m off the wagon and I’m hitchin a ride” I sang and turned to Taz, motioning for her to keep playing. I
did the same to Jenn, they nodded. The 3 Green Day members gave me curious looks and I just smiled.
“I said a heeeeeeeeyyyyyy ohhhhhhhh”
I sang and waited for them to reply, they did, cautiously.
“I said a heeeeeeeeeeeyyyyy yeah!”
I sang. This time, they got more into it. I wondered what this was like when there was 65,000 people returning it, not 5.
“I said a WOOHOO!” I said. They repeated
me
“WHOA!” I said. Again, they repeated
me. Jenn and Taz were just looping the bass line and drum beat while I messed around with my friends.
“I need every single fucking person in this
garage to freak out” I said. Mike, Tré and Billie Joe looked at each other and I stepped back and turned to Taz and
Jenn, dragging my hand across my neck. They both stopped playing and I stood with my arms folded across my chest, looking
at them. I glanced at Jenn and saw her doing the same. I turned my head to glance at Taz and saw her pouting.
“You don’t play, we don’t play”
I said and shrugged, stooping down to pick up my beer bottle. I saw Billie Joe look at his friends and nod.
“Hey, hey, hey, hey” He started chanting
loudly, throwing his hand forward, to accent the ‘hey’. Soon the others had joined in and Taz counted in, before
her and Jenn started looping the drum beat and bass line.
“Now, that’s fucking right”
I said, nodding.
“I need all of you to say 1, 2. 1, 2, 3,
4” I said. They did, chanting it as they jumped up and down.
“There’s a drought at the fountain
of youth and I’m dehydrated. My tongue is swelling up I said 1, 2” I sang and pointed at them. Again they sang
it at the top of their lungs and I jumped around as we played the heavy part of the song. When that bit was over I motioned
again for Jenn and Taz to loop.
“Hhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” I sang, holding my notes for longer than usual, but not as long as I could have, and waited
for them to repeat it. They did.
“Hhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyy
HEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY” I sang. Again they repeated
“Ahhh” I said, trying to keep a straight
face. They repeated. I saw Billie Joe send Joseph and Jakob inside though. He knew what I was gonna do.
“Oooohhhh” I said. They repeated
“Ohhhh” I said. Again, they repeated
“Aaahhh” I said again as I felt Jenn
walk behind me. I also noticed that they’d stopped playing.
“Aaaahhhhh” I said, adding a hint
of pleasure in with it. I saw Taz out of the corner of my eye, spin her drum sticks and slip one inside her pants. Tré cheered.
Billie Joe and Mike were watching me and Jenn.
“Ohhhh yeah” I moaned and felt Jenn
start sliding her hand from my shoulder down. I leaned backwards, taking the mic off it’s stand, and relaxed a little
against Jenn. Her hand slipped over my tit.
“Ohhhh” I moaned, louder, into the
mic and slid my free hand up and down her leg. I watched Billie Joe’s face and saw the hint of a grin. I lowered my
eyes and saw exactly what this was doing to make him rise to the occasion. Tré’s eyes were now on me and Jenn and Taz
was laughing. Mike was trying not to look but his eyes kept falling back on us.
“Ahhhh” I moaned as Jenn slipped her
hand down the waist band of my jeans. She moved it around and although it was tickling my thigh I kept a straight face.
“Oh yeah, yes, oh god” I moaned and
paused, lowering the mic to my side and closing my eyes half way. Now Billie Joe’s mouth was hanging open and I looked
at Mike and Tré, who were almost the same.
“SOMEBODY FUCK ME!” I screamed into
the mic and grinned at them, wiggling my eyebrows. Jenn removed her hand and we gave each other 5.
“That was fucking awesome” I said
to her
“hell yeah!” She agreed.
“Now you really know what it’s like
to be teased” I said to the 3 males and nodded for Taz to count us in. She did and we finished the song. Taz climbed
from behind her kit and Jenn and I both knew it was time for a break. We put our stuff down and I went over to Billie Joe
was sitting with his hands over his crotch.
“How was that?” I asked him
“See for yourself” He said. I slid
my hand under his and felt his throbbing penis.
“So it was good?” I asked
“You should do something like that on stage
when you tour for the new album” He said
“No, people will think we’re copying
Green Day” I said
“Well, you are Orange Lime Green Day”
he said with a laugh. I grinned and kissed his neck.
“Why you gotta be sick when we’re
both horny?” I asked
“I’m well enough for that” He
said
“Well, we shouldn’t any way, because
of the boys” I said
“They were very cross when I sent them back
into the house” He said
“Well, it was probably better off they didn’t
see me doing that” I said
“Mike and Tré also seemed to like it”
He said
“Fuck yeah. It’s cos I am one Hott
Rocker” I grinned. He laughed.
“I think, when I’m better and I don’t
have the kids we should have a threesome” He said
“Ooohhh, ok. Who with? Not another girl
I hope” I said
“Nope, with a guy” He replied, putting
his arm around my shoulders
“And why a guy?” I asked
“I think it’s about time I got back
to my bisexual roots” He said. I was surprised, but didn’t say anything.
“Got anyone in mind?” I asked after
a while. He leaned passed me and look towards Taz and Tré.
“Taz? I know she might look butch sometimes,
but I can assure you, she’s no guy” I said
“Try again” He said. I looked at Tré
and than back to Billie Joe
“Tré?” I whispered
“Why not?” He asked
“Because, it’s Tré” I said
“So?” Billie Joe asked
“Well, he is kinda hott…” I
trailed off and looked back over at him. He caught me looking and grinned, waving. I waved back and faced Billie Joe.
“You think he would?” I asked
“Let’s ask him” He said, making
a move to stand.
“Not with Taz there” I hissed
“Ok, ok” He said and paused.
“Tré” He called. Tré looked up and
Billie Joe grinned at him. I closed my eyes ready for him to ask in front of Taz.
“Magspray” Billie Joe said instead.
I watched as Tré told Taz something and watched her walk off before Tré started towards us.
“Good old Green Day code still works”
Billie Joe said when I looked at him quizzically
“Sup?” Tré asked, sitting beside me
and also putting his arm around me
“We have a rather strange, but very upfront
question for you Mr Cool” I said
“Yes, I’ll be in on your threesome,
you’re a little hottie Jai” He said and winked at me.
“What? How?” I asked and looked between
them
“Magspray means, plain and simply, wanna
have a threesome” Billie Joe said
“Oh” I said, blushing
“Don’t worry, we’ll give you
some time to prepare, right BJ?” Tré said
“Right Tré” Billie Joe agreed
“how embarrassing” I groaned
“Not at all” Billie Joe said
“What if Taz finds out?” I asked
“She won’t. I’m very good at
keeping secrets” Tré said
“She’ll know. She always does”
I said
“Jaime, she won’t” Billie Joe
said
“Ok” I said, not convinced
“I’m all excited now” Tré said
in a really gay voice as he waved his arms around stupidly. I laughed and slapped him.
“Go away” I said. He kissed my cheek
and left. I turned to Billie Joe and he smiled at me. I lifted my hand to his forehead and smiled.
“You’re fever’s gone”
I said
“I think having you here has made me happy
and therefore better” He said
“Still, you can take it easy tomorrow”
I said
“I will” He said. I smiled and gave
him a kiss.
“Will you stay in my room?” He whispered
in my ear
“Billie, I can’t, you know that”
I said
“Ok” He said “Is it cos I’m
sick?”
“No, it’s not because you’re
sick. I don’t want Joseph and Jakob to walk in and find me in your bed” I said
“Baby, they know about you and I”
He said
“Well I didn’t tell them” I
said
“No, I did. Because I knew sooner or later
we’d end up in the same bed” He said
“Why the hell do they want me to be their
mother?” I asked
“So you did hear that conversation”
He said
“Yes” I said
“They want you to be their mother because
you’re fun, and you play with them, they don’t understand that love has to be returned” He said, brushing
the hair out of my face.
“Even if I agreed to marry you or whatever
I’m so not ready to be a mum. I’m only 20” I said
“That’s what I said. But I would really
love to have a baby with you. A little Jaime Joe or maybe a Billie Jai” He said and I realised right there that I was
in love with the person, not the rock star.
“Jaime Joe and Billie Jai, I like that”
I said. He smiled and hugged me closer.
“Not for a few years” He said
“Let’s wait and see what happens after
this damn ménage et trois” I said. He nodded and I kissed his cheek. Taz and Jenn emerged from the house followed closely
by Tré, Mike, Joseph and Jakob.
“Let’s party on down” Taz said
tossing her drumsticks up in the air and catching them again. I stood up from Billie Joe’s arms and headed over to my
guitar, putting the strap over my shoulder and plugging it back in..
“Let me introduce you to my band”
I said playing the riff to Rock’N Roll Girlfriend. Jenn and Taz followed suit.
“On the drums we have the best fucking drummer
in the history of Female Rock. Taz Cool” I said, sticking to the general theme of Orange Lime Green Day. The 5 males
applauded, loudly, for Taz.
“We also have the most amazing bassist since
Mike Dirnt himself. Jenn Dirnt” I said. Mike laughed and cheered extra loud for her.
“And Gentleman, I am the best fucking guitarist
on the face of this earth. My name is Jaime Armstrong” I said and thought it sounded kinda cool. Billie Joe, Joseph
and Jakob all were louder than Mike and Tré.
Chapter 9
“Good night” I said, kissing Joseph
on the forehead
“Night Jai” he said quietly
“Goodnight Jakob” I whispered to the
already sleeping child, placing a gentle kiss on his forehead.
“Night Mommy” He mumbled and I couldn’t
help but smile as I walked out of the room. Billie Joe was already in bed. As was Jenn. I went down the hall to Billie Joe’s
room and went in.
“Night” I said to him
“Night Jai” He grinned
“Sleep well” I said and kissed his
lips. He smiled and watched me leave. I went through the house, making sure everything was locked and than went down to the
room I was sharing with Jenn and Drake. She looked up from the book she was reading and grinned at me.
“Spill” She said
“I’ve figured it out” I said
“And?” She asked knowingly
“The person, not the rock star” I
grinned. She laughed.
“I heard a whisper about a threesome”
She said
“How did you find out?” I asked
“Mike was telling me something when he heard
Billie Joe call out Magspray. He told me it was their old code for threesome” She said
“Yeah, well” I said
“Tré?” She asked
“Don’t tell Taz” I warned
“You didn’t tell anyone, except AJ
about Kev and I so I’m not going to tell anyone anything about you, Tré and BJ” She said. I grinned and crawled
under the covers.
“Are you gonna take it up the bum hole?”
She asked me quietly after a minute or so of silence
“Maybe, I don’t know, if that’s
what you do in a threesome than yeah” I said blushing
“By who? Tré or BJ?” She asked
“Jenn, we’re not having this conversation”
I said
“Oh come on Frack, I gotta live my life
vicariously through you” she said, pouting at me in the soft lamp light
“Maybe by Tré, I really don’t know”
I said rolling over to face the wall, so she couldn’t see my face
“I knew BJ was bi, but I thought he would’ve
you know, gotten over it I guess you could say when he got married” She said
“He said it was about time he got back to
his bisexual roots. I don’t know, maybe I’ve turned him” I said/ She laughed.
“He’s so in love with you, so there’s
no chance of him going full time cock” She said
“Hey Jenn, you wanna keep your voice down,
there’s 2 kids in the next room” I hissed. She laughed.
“You say you don’t wanna be their
mother, but you act like you are” She said
“That’s not true, how would you like
it if Drake woke up one night to find your friends talking about you being bi” I said
“Alright, point taken. I don’t see
why you didn’t just stay in his room” She said
“Cos I know what’ll happen and I definitely
don’t want his kids walking in on that” I said
“What makes you so sure they will?”
Billie Joe said from the door. I jumped and threw a pillow at him.
“Don’t fucking sneak up on us like
that” Jenn said
“Exactly how much of that conversation did
you hear?” I asked, sitting up and watching him
“Oh, pretty much all of it” He grinned
“Shit” I groaned and lay back down,
facing the wall again
“What are you doin in here?” Jenn
asked
“Well, I figured if Jaime won’t stay
in my room, I’ll stay in yours. Even if I have to sleep on the floor” He said
“Well I dunno how comfortable it’ll
be in a single bed for you both but I’m sure as hell not giving up this” Jenn said and I heard her sprawling herself
out over the double bed. Billie Joe laughed and I felt him crawling up the single bed until he was laying behind me.
“Stay with me” He whispered in my
ear, slipping his arm around my waist and resting his hand on my stomach
“Ok” I answered
“Excuse me Jennisen, I’m taking my
fuck buddy to my room” He said as we both sat up and climbed off the bed
“You 2 behave now, there’s 2 children
in the next room” She said
“As long as we’re dressed by 6”
Billie Joe grinned and Jenn gave me a thumbs up before he led me through to the hallway and down to his room. He closed the
door after we went in. I climbed on to his bed beside him and sat up.
“Why didn’t you come in when you were
listening to our conversation?” I asked
“I wanted to know if you really wanted to
do this threesome” he shrugged
“I do, but I’ve never had it up the
bum hole before, I mean. Ouch” I said. He laughed
“Don’t worry, it’s not like
we’re gonna not help you get ready before we do it” He said
“What do you mean we?” I asked
“Well you’ll have to get used to Tré
as well” He said
“I gotta fuck him before than?” I
asked
“Well, no, but it might be a good idea to
kiss him, let him feel you up and all that, cos when it comes down to push and shove baby, if you start laughing he’s
not gonna go through with it” He said
“And how am I supposed to get on to him
with Taz there? Just walk up to him and latch on?” I asked
“Tomorrow night we’ll play spin the
bottle. 3 guys 3 girls, perfect” He shrugged
“No. Not spin the bottle” I said
“Spin the dildo?” he asked
“No spinning games” I said with a
laugh
“Ok, lucky I don’t have a dildo than
huh” He grinned
“How awkward is this gonna be I mean, how
the hell do you start a threesome?” I asked
“You don’t start it. It just happens.
We’ll have Tré over for the night, have a few drinks and I promise you, it’ll go from there” He said
“Hmmkay” I said
“Now let me fuck you” He said
“You got a lock on your door?” I asked
“No” He said
“than, no” I said
“Jai, they won’t come in until 6am
at the earliest. They know not to come into my room at night” He said
“Alright, but it’s your fault if they’re
traumatised after seeing their father and his fuck buddy in bed” I said. I barely got to finish my sentence before Billie
Joe’s lips were against mine and he was unbuttoning my shirt. I heard a noise outside the door and pushed him away.
“What?” He asked
“I heard something” I said. He groaned
and got off the bed, walking towards the door. I pulled the sheet up over me and watched as he opened the door and switched
on the hall light. He looked both ways and turned the light out, closing the door and coming back over to me.
“No one was out there, now please let me
fuck you. I’m so fucking horny” He said. I let him pull the sheet away and push the shirt off my shoulders. He
started tugging on my panties and I lay back and arched my back up so he could get them down. He pulled his boxers off and
lay down beside me, sliding his hand down my stomach, his mouth was close to my ear and I could hear and feel him breathing.
“Cold turkey’s getting stale tonight
I’m eating crow. Fermented salmonella poison oak no” He sang softly and I closed my eyes as shivers went down
my spine and I got a little that little bit more excited. I turned my head to look at Billie Joe and found him smiling.
“You really do like that” He said
“Oh god yes” I said. He rubbed his
thumb over my clit and I gasped. He dipped a finger inside me and I moaned softly, closing my eyes. I felt him move and than
he kissed me. I kissed him back and slid my arms around his back as he climbed on top of me. I felt his cock pressing against
my thigh and was amazed to find myself thinking ‘Billie Joe wants me in his bed, no one else’. I hadn’t
thought like that since we first became friends. He carefully guided himself inside me and started moving, slowly. Painfully
slowly.
“You too sick to go faster?” I teased
softly
“No fucking way” He said and started
pumping into me. I realised I was now with the rock star and grinned to myself. I loved both sides of Billie Joe, and both
sides of him were awesome. But in bed the rock star was better. Both of us struggled to keep quiet as he fucked me harder
and harder with each thrust. I opened my mouth to say something but he kissed me instead, biting my lip a bit. When he broke
the kiss and turned my head to the side and moaned into the pillow as best I could. My arms dropped from his back and he held
clasped my hands in his and raised our arms above our heads, kissing my neck. I felt him start to give me a hickey, but was
over come with pleasure as both of us started to orgasm and therefore I couldn’t say anything. I held my breath in an
attempt not to make a noise and closed my eyes.
“You gotta breathe baby” Billie Joe
whispered in my ear. I slowly let my breath out and opened my eyes to look at him.
“Gonna have trouble hiding that” He
said looking at my neck.
“I know what I’m gonna say if Jack
or Joey ask about it” I grinned
“oh and what’s that?” He asked
“Well your dad is a complete sex god and
sometimes when him and I are fucking each others brains out we get over excited and give each other hickey’s. You can
never see the ones I give him because they’re always on his stomach” I said. He laughed and bent his head, kissing
the area where the hickey was, gently.
“I’m sorry” He said. I smiled.
He let go of my hands and got off me. Laying on his back. I lay my head on his chest and he wrapped his arm around me.
“What do you do when you’ve finished
a threesome?” I asked
“One of the people in it usually leaves
or you all keep drinking and go at it again. Sometimes everyone just goes to sleep” He said
“I can’t believe I’m gonna do
it” I said, excited at the idea.
“I can’t believe you agreed to Tré”
He said
“Why not?” I asked
“I thought for sure you would’ve said
Nick” He said
“Nah, I’m so sick of Backstreet Boys
right now. And plus I think Tré’s fucking gorgeous” I said
“Wanna know how long it’s been since
I’ve been in a threesome?” he asked
“Yes” I answered
“7 years” He said
“Who was it with?” I asked, not actually
sure I wanted to know
“Tré and some groupie” He said
“So you and tre have like, you know, before”
I said
“Many times. Many, many, many times”
He said with a grin
“Why didn’t you and Tré ever hook
up for good?” I asked
“You can’t get emotionally involved
with a member from your own band. That’s a big no no in Rock stardom” He said
“Well lucky I’m not a lesbian than
huh” I said. He laughed.
“You should get some sleep, you’re
still sick” I said to him
“I feel so much better now though”
he said
“Sleep” I instructed
“Only if I can hold you all night”
He whispered. I smiled and nodded, rolling over onto my side with my back to him. He also rolled over and I felt him press
himself right up against me. He groped around and eventually pulled the sheet up over us, wrapping both his arms around me.
“Night” he whispered in my ear, kissing
my hair
“Gnight” I answered, lifting one of
his hands to my lips and kissing it. I lay awake for a while, noticing that Billie Joe went to sleep pretty much straight
away. I looked at the clock on the bedside table and saw that it was 1 am. I had a couple of hours to sleep before I had to
get up and make sure both Billie Joe and I were dressed. I closed my eyes and sleep came relatively quickly. I woke up to
find Jakob laying between Billie Joe and I and Joseph standing at the end of the bed watching us. I also found that I was
dressed.
“Hey” I said sitting up and smiling
at the 2 boys
“Morning” They said cheerily
“Why don’t we go and have some breakfast
while we let your dad sleep” I said. They both nodded and I slipped out of the bed and followed them both out the door.
I turned back and saw Billie Joe sleeping peacefully. I closed the door quietly and went into the kitchen. I asked the boys
what they wanted, which was pancakes. I offered them toast and cereal instead. I was just putting their food down infront
of them when there was a knock on the door. I looked down at how I was dressed and found a pair of Billie Joe’s jeans
laying across the back of a seat. I quickly pulled them on, much to the amusement of the boys and went to the door, opening
it.
“Oh, it’s just you 2” I said
as my greeting to Tré and Taz
“Just us 2? I happen to be the drummer in
your band Jaime Cobain” Taz said with a laugh
“Sup Jai?” Tré asked me, leaning forwards
to kiss my cheek.
“Nothing, just supervising breakfast. Tell
you what though. I have no idea how I got dressed before they came in” I said quietly as I lead them through to the
kitchen
“Might I just say that you look fabulous
in BJ’s jeans” Tré said
“I was actually really surprised I fitted
into them, he’s so skinny!” I said and went about making myself coffee. Tré helped himself to a slice of the boys’
toast and a sip of their juice.
“You want something?” I asked Taz
“Tea” She said. I nodded and made
her a cup. Jenn emerged carrying Drake and said hello to everyone. Jenn didn’t get a kiss of Tré.
“Jaime can we watch cartoons?” Jakob
asked
“As soon as you’ve finished your breakfast”
I said
“Quite the little mum aren’t we Jai”
Taz teased
“Fuck off” I said. Jenn started laughing.
“I wouldn’t Taz, she gets real defensive”
Jenn said
“Don’t give me grief, or I’ll
give you the wooden spoon” I said and all 4 of us cracked up.
“We’re finished, can we watch cartoons
now?” Joseph asked. I glanced at their plates and nodded.
“Not too loud though, your dad’s still
sleeping” I said. They went into the loungeroom and turned on the TV, changing to the cartoons. I shook my head and
grabbed my smokes before going out the back. Jenn and Taz stayed inside, but Tré followed me out.
“You and BJ talked about it yet?”
He asked as I lit my smoke
“Uhh, depends what your talking about”
I said, not looking at him
“That thing we’re doin” He said.
I finally looked at him and saw him grinning
“Yeah we’ve talked” I said,
quickly looking away again
“Jaime, if this is gonna be awkward for
you we won’t do it” He said
“No, I just don’t want Taz to find
out” I said
“She’s not going too” He said
“I know, but there’s always that fucking
‘what if’ lurking in the background” I said
“That damn fucking ‘what if’”
Tré said, shaking his head. I laughed.
“Nice hickey too” He said after a
while
“Shit, I forgot all about it” I said,
my hand instantly going to my neck
“It’s ok, you can only see a bit of
it. You’d best let me see the rest though” He said. I pulled down the collar of my shirt and he whistled.
“he got you good” He said
“Is it that big?” I asked
“It’s about that” he said circling
his fingers and showing me. It was about the size of an Australian 50 cent piece.
“Jesus” I said and pulled the collar
back up, drawing back on my smoke.
“You really do look good in those jeans”
He said
“Thanks” I grinned
“So, tell me what you’ve been talking
about” He said
“Well, uhh, Billie said that I had to get
used to you and stuff” I said, again, not looking at him
“That doesn’t mean we gotta fuck Jai,
it only means you have to get used to me touching you” he said
“Yeah, I know, but Taz is always around
you” I said
“Yeahm she’s a bit clingy, but I really
like her. So I don’t mind having her around. God she’s funny” he said with a laugh
“Oh man, you should’ve seen her before
we both came to the states. Fuck Tré you think she’s insane now, she’s tamed down a lot since than” I said.
He laughed.
“I have some photo’s back at my house
in Wisconsin, you’ll have to come visit me there one day and I’ll show you” I said
“It’s a deal” He said
“Now, how do we get rid of her long enough
to, well, do stuff” I said softly, glancing inside. Her and Jenn were watching cartoons with Joseph and Jakob
“Well she’s not here now” He
said
“Hello, big see through window” I
said pointing. He stood up and started walking around the side of the house. I followed. Hestopped and turned to face me.
“No windows, no Taz, no anyone” he
said
“I have morning/ciggie breath” I said
“You just don’t wanna kiss me”
He said. I took a step forward and pressed my lips against his. Slipping my free hand around his shoulders and closing my
eyes. I felt him slide his hand down my side and around to my butt and tried not to start laughing.
“Oh my god, I like so totally caught you”
Said Billie Joe in a really bad girly voice. I jumped away from Tré and turned to face Billie Joe, a blush rising on my cheeks.
“Stay away from my boyfriend” He said
again in the bad girly voice and stomped over to Tré and jumped in his arms. I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Look, it’s not so bad snogging him
is it” Billie Joe said. He was still in Tré’s arms.
“No, but can you PLEASE not sneak up on
us like that. I nearly had a fucking heart attack” I said
“I dunno why. You could tell straight away
I wasn’t Taz” Billie Joe said. He had his arms around Tré and Tré was still holding onto him. It was really funny.
“Yeah but, still” I said
“Did you tongue?” He asked me
“No” I said
“Good, still fresh” He said and promptly
pressed his lips against Tré’s. Tré kissed him back, and opened his eyes, wiggling his eyebrows at me. I laughed. The
back door slammed and Tré and Billie Joe instantly separated, they both grinned at me.
“Tré?” came Taz’s voice
“This ones nice” I said pointing to
a flower
“Yeah it is. We planted that when we first
got the house” Billie Joe quickly caught on
“I’m around here Taz” Tré called.
I wiped my mouth, trying to hide the swelling of my lips from the kiss. Tré and Billie Joe’s lips were always a little
swollen, but not as much as mine though. Taz appeared around the corner and grinned at us all.
“Whatcha’s doin?” She asked
“Looking at flowers, aren’t they pretty”
I said to her and pointing to the flower that I was pointing to before
“Yeah, they are” She said, snaking
her arms around Tré.
“Are those my jeans?” Billie Joe asked
me
“Yeah, well I wasn’t gonna answer
the door in a shirt and panties. What if it was Adrianne?” I said
“They look hott on you” He said
“Except for the gigantic crotch” I
said spreading my legs and pulling the crotch down
“So you’re well hung, live it up”
Tré shrugged. I laughed.
“Come on. I left Jenn inside with the boys”
Taz said. She started walking away, Tré didn’t follow her straight away and she turned to look at him. He blew her a
kiss. She seemed satisfied and kept walking. When she rounded the corner, he pulled me against him, kissing me again.
“Tongue” Billie Joe said and instantly
Tré’s tongue was in my mouth.
“Are you guys coming?” Called out
Taz
“Yeah, Tré and I are having a piss contest,
Jaime’s the judge” Billie Joe said. I laughed, but Tré kept on kissing me.
“Yuk, have fun” She said I heard the
door close.
“I don’t see no tongues” Billie
Joe said. Tré pulled away from me slightly and flicked his tongue out against my lips. I did the same.
“Good work, now let’s work together”
He said and stood behind me, wrapping his arms around me and pushing my hair out of the way, kissing my neck. I felt someone’s
hand on my tit and wondered who it was. I knew it was Billie Joe who was shoving his hand down the front of my pants. I turned
my head away from Tré and shook my head.
“I can’t do this while she’s
in there” I whispered, pointing to the house
“Oh and I was just getting into it”
Tré said
“So it was you” I said, glaring playfully
“You got huge tits Jai” he was saying
“Thanks” I said, rolling my eyes
“Come on, before we get in trouble”
Billie Joe said
“So who won?” I asked
“Me” Tré said. I nodded and the 3
of us walked back around the side of the house. As we entered Tré pumped his hands in the air and started singing ‘I
am the champion’.
“It was close, but Tré won, by a finger
length” I said, nodding
“Who’ve you gotten onto in the last
20 minutes Jai?” Jenn asked
“That would be moi” Billie Joe said
“What does that mean?” Jakob asked
“It means that Jaime and your dad gave each
other a kiss” Jenn explained
“A very long and passionate one, by the
look of it” Taz said
“Oh get over it” I said, shaking my
head and picking up my coffee. Billie Joe sat on the lounge and I sat beside him, Tré went and sat beside Taz on the floor.
Jenn was feeding Drake, so she was in the lounge chair
“Dad are you taking us to school?”
Joseph asked
“Yes, so you’d better start getting
ready” Billie Joe said. Both boys stood and went down to their room.
“Shit, I didn’t even realise it was
Monday” I said
“It’s ok, they don’t start for
another hour and a half. Plenty of time” He said with a shrug
“Did you dress me this morning?” I
asked him
“Uhh, no. You got up the same time I did
and got dressed” He said
“Really?” I asked
“Yeah” He said
“Oh. I can’t remember” I said.
I stood and hitched the jeans up a little.
“These are comfortable. How much do you
want for them?” I asked
“you can have them” he said
“Do I get a belt?” I asked
“I only have 1” he said
“The one you wear on stage?” I asked.
He nodded.
“well I like it, so I’m having it”
I said, going down the hall and into his room. I found the belt and put it on. I than went down to the room I was supposed
to be sharing with Jenn and found a black fitted button up shirt in my bag. I pulled my hair into a messy ponytail and messed
it up even more so I had bits sticking up everywhere. I went back down to the lounge room and grinned.
“how hott do I look?” I asked
“Very” Said Jenn giving me a thumbs
up
“That is so cool, oh my god” Taz said.
Tré and Billie Joe looked me over a couple of times
“There’s something missing”
Billie Joe said
“I know just the thing” Tré said standing
and disappearing down the hall. He came back a few seconds later carrying a cadet tie. He lifted my collar and started tying
the tie, leaving it loose around my neck, with the first 3 buttons undone.
“Now you look hott” he said. Jenn
and Taz grinned at me.
“You trying to turn me into Billie Joe?”
I asked
“No, you look nothing like him. Your hair
is blonde for starters, and you have blue eyes” Tré said
“And tits” Billie Joe added
“yeah, so, no, I’m not trying to turn
you into Billie Joe. Come Bj, doesn’t she look hott?” Tré asked
“Hell yeah” He said. I looked at my
other 2 friends and they agreed.
“Damn I wish we were having a photo shoot”
I said
“We’re doing one next week, remember?
Kev organised it before we left” Taz said
“Oh yeah. You think he’ll let me wear
this?” I asked
“Fuck him” Jenn said with a shrug.
I grinned and looked in the mirror that was in the hall way.
“A bit of eye liner, maybe some eye shadow,
black of course and hmm” I said studying my face in the mirror, settling on my lips.
“Purple” Tré said
“Nah, that’s Taz’s colour”
I said, still looking at my lips and trying to imagine different colours on them
“What about red” Jenn suggested
“Like at the Grammy’s?” I asked
“Yeah, that was hott” She said
“Hell yeah” I said and grinned, going
back down to the room. I got out my make up kit and applied the make up. I did my eyes so that the eyeliner was right on the
bottom of my eye lid and I had a spiral at the corner of my eye. The little bit of eye shadow I put on accented the spiral
and made my eyes look bigger and wider. I put the lippy on and stepped back, looking at myself. I looked pretty good, considering
I’d never worn anything like this before. I also noticed I had a bit of cleavage. I ran back down to where my friends
were sitting in the lounge room and grinned, jumping on the spot.
“guess what?!” I said
“What?” Taz asked
“I have cleavage” I said
“You’ve never noticed before?”
Billie Joe asked
“You’ve seen what I normally wear.
Boy shirts, so no, I’ve never noticed before” I said
“let me see this alleged cleavage”
Tré said. I put my hands over my chest and turned away from him.
“you saw my dick” He said
“Ok” I said rolling my eyes and dropping
my arms to my side. He inspected my cleavage and nodded.
“Very nice indeed” He said
“Quick someone take a photo of how hott
I look” I said
“Tell you what, why don’t the 3 of
you dress up and we’ll all take the boys to school and than go to a park and I’ll take some group and individual
shots of you all” Billie Joe said
“What for?” Taz asked
“My own personal masturbation kit”
He grinned
“Dad, what does that mean?” Jakob
asked
“I’ll tell you when your older, doesn’t
Jaime look hott?” He said to his sons. Joseph looked at me and shrugged.
“She looks better than mom ever does”
he said
“hey, don’t disrespect the woman who
went through hours of painful labour so you could experience this world” I said
“Sorry” He said
“Quick go change” I said to Taz, getting
excited about doing something different, again.
“What are we gonna wear?” Jenn asked
“I don’t know, let’s go and
look” I said
“She must be horny” Taz said to her
“I’m not horny” I said tugging
on Taz’s hand
“Could’ve fooled me” She said.
I dropped her hand and rolled my eyes.
“Come on Tara Jade Orman, get your ass moving”
I said
“Ok Jaime Ann Imogen Maria Emily Cobain”
She said
“Whoa, what the hell was that?” Tré
asked
“My name, mum was stoned when she named
me. If you write it down you see that all my names spell Jaime, except Cobain” I said
“Wow, that’s clever, your name is
an anagram for your name” Billie Joe said. There was a knock on the door
“I’ll get it” I said, bouncing
over to the door. I heard them all trying to say my name really fast 5 times. They sucked at it. I opened the door and saw
Mike.
“Sup Mikey?” I asked letting him in.
He gave me hug and kissed my cheek
“Nothing much, you look really hott”
He said
“Thanks” I grinned. When he entered
the lounge room, Jenn sat up a bit and pushed her hair behind her ear. I made kissing faces at her. She glared.
“I did it!” Billie Joe yelled out
cheerfully
“What?” Mike asked
“Said Jaime’s name 5 times really
fast” he said
“Jaime, Jaime, Jaime, Jaime, Jaime”
Mike said with a shrug
“No, no, no” Tré said
“Well that’s your name isn’t
it jai?” he asked
“Yes, yes it is” I said. He shrugged
again and looked at everyone else.
“Do it BJ” Tré said
“Jaime Ann Imogen Maria Emily Cobain, Jaime
Ann Imogen Maria Emily Cobain, Jaime Ann Imogen Maria Emily Cobain, Jaime Ann Imogen Maria Emily Cobain, Jaime Ann Imogen
Maria Emily Cobain” He said
“It spells Jaime” Tré said
“Oh, cool” Mike said and sat down.
Taz stood and grabbed my hand as she walked past.
“Come on Jennisen” She said
“They can’t say my full name, it’s
too Spanish for them” She grinned as she joined us, handing Drake to Billie Joe as she passed him
“I so don’t have any clothes here
Jai” Taz was saying as the 3 of us walked down to our room
“It’s alright wear mine” I said
“Wonder if Bj’s got any clothes we
could steal” Jenn said
“Billie” I called, running down the
hall
“Yeah?” he answered. He was in the
process of changing Drake’s nappy. He looked so cute
“Can we wear your clothes?” I asked
“You already are” He said
“Can we go through your wardrobe and find
more?” I asked
“Like you even have to ask” he said
and grinned at me. I grinned back and ran back down the hall.
“We can use his stuff” I said
“Oh sure, like any of us would fit into
any of it” Taz said
“Hello” I said grabbing the crotch
of his jeans
“Honestly we’re all basically the
same size, now come on” Jenn said and we went to Billie Joe’s room. I closed the door and we went over to his
wardrobe. I opened it and the first thing I saw was a pair of punk shorts. I squealed and pulled them out. I started undoing
the belt on the jeans whent eh door opened and the 3 of them came in.
“Hey, we’re changing” I said
“Well I’m not stopping you”
He grinned. The 3 of them sat on the bed and watched us. Billie Joe was holding Drake. I shrugged and kept undoing the belt.
“Oh I like this” Taz said holding
up a red shirt with ‘Green Day’ on the back
“Put it” Jenn and I said at the same
time. I grabbed out a pair of black jeans and shoved them at her
“These too” I said
“And this” Jenn said passing her a
chain
“no, I want that” I said. Jenn gave
it to me and I grinned at the 3 guys who were watching us with amused looks on their faces. I undid the buttons on the jeans
and pulled them down. Tré and Mike diverted their eyes
“Oh come on, you 2 have seen me in less”
I said throwing the jeans at them
“Jaime!” Jenn exclaimed
“Oh yeah, me and the boys had a good old
time in the nicky noo noo” I grinned and pulled the shorts on. They were a bit tight on my thighs but I could still
move and my thighs weren’t giant or anything. I attached the chain and looked at myself in the mirror.
“Oh my god, how ugly” Taz was saying
as she looked at herself
“No way, you look hott” I said. She
had the shirt on but not the jeans.
“Put the jeans on and see” Jenn insisted.
She was still trying to find something she liked.
“I’ll be back” I said dashing
down the hall. I went through my bag until I found the 4 thigns I was looking for. My black and red striped knee highs, the
black skirt I took everywhere and never wore, my spikes and my black suspenders. I went back to Billie Joe’s room and
threw the skirt at Jenn. She looked at it and nodded. I lifted the shirt so I could see the waist band of the punk shorts
and attached the suspenders, letting them hang down at the sides.
“Fuck yeah, that look awesome” Billie
Joe said to me
“My bum look ok?” I asked turning
around
“Your bum looks fine Jai” Tré said.
Taz now had the jeans on and was again looking in the mirror. Billie Joe wolf whistled and she grinned.
“How do I look?” She asked me
“Hott” Mike and Tré chorused. She
grinned again
“Yeah you look awesome” I agreed.
Jenn also agreed. She had just pulled on the skirt and was looking for a shirt to wear. I spotted a white one and pulled it
out. It had a ‘Ramones’ path on the back. I thrust it at her and grinned. She looked at it and pulled it on. I
found another cadet tie, a black one and also pushed it at her. She put it on and the 3 of us looked each other over.
“You got those skull socks?” Jenn
asked me
“Yes, yes I do” I said
“We should swap one sock each” She
grinned. I grinned back and ran back down to get them. I came back and found her pulling one of the black and red striped
ones on and threw a skull one at her. I sat on the bed and leaned backwards to give Billie Joe a kiss. I grinned at him and
sat forwards again, pulling on the socks.
“Fuck yeah” I said looking myself
over one more time and liking what I saw.
“That look suits you” Tré was saying.
I grinned at him.
“Where’s your make up?” Taz
asked
“In my bag” I said
“Can I use it?” She asked
“And me too” Jenn said
“Yep” I grinned. They went down the
hall and I grinned at the 3 guys.
“Am I good at this shit or what?”
I asked
“You’re good alright” Mike was
saying.
“Drake’s wondering what his aunts
and Mom are doing. So I told him that you were transforming from humans to super rock star’s” He said
“Oh yeah. Where are the boys anyway? Shouldn’t
we start getting them ready for school?” I asked
“Yeah, we should go soon” Billie Joe
said
“I feel like doing something really fucking
random. I’m dressed like a rocker I wanna fucking act like one” I said
“Well when we drop the boys off we’ll
go be rock stars” Tré said
“You guys aren’t dressed like bloody
rockers and Billie’s sick” Is aid
“Nah, I’m all good now. Let’s
go and do shit” he said
“You gonna change?” I asked
“If I can find some clothes. You lot are
wearing them all” He said
“Fuck off” I said with a laugh. He
lay Drake carefully on the bed and stood up going over to his clothes.
“I’ll be back” Mike said, standing
up and going out the door. I shuffled backwards on the bed so I was beside Tré and grinned at him.
“Give me a kiss darling” He said puckering
up. I cracked up and shoved him. Billie Joe stripped off his boxers and was standing in the nude when Jenn and Taz came back
in. They looked at him and he looked back, a stupid grin on his face.
“So that’s what you find so appealing
about him” Mike said as he came back in
“Hell yeah” I said. Jennisen picked
up Drake and smiled.
“Best get this little guy ready” She
said
“Does he have any punk stuff?” Mike
asked
“Of course he does. Dontcha” She said
and tickled him. He giggled. She disappeared out the door and I turned back to Billie Joe who was pulling a pair of tight
jeans on. Tré and Taz were having a bit of a pash when Joseph and Jakob came in.
“Dad can we go now?” Joseph said
“Yep, let’s go” He said pulling
on a black shirt with a red star on the left breast. I recognised it as one from his clothing line. He messed up his hair
a bit more and slipped on a pair of red and black striped socks like mine and pulled on his converse shoes. We all left the
house and piled into the various cars. Myself, Billie Joe and the 2 boys in his car and Mike, Tré, Jenn, Taz and Drake in
Mike’s car.
“Jaime, why are you dressed like that?”
Jakob asked me
“Because I’m training to be a rock
star” I grinned
“Like dad?” He asked
“Yep, just like your dad” I said.
They seemed satisfied with that answer and were quite.
“So what are we gonna do when we drop the
boys off?” Billie Joe said
“Find the nearest park and decide”
I said. He nodded.
Chapter 10
“Nah,
I’m cool” I said, stifling a yawn with my hand. Tré and Billie Joe started talking about some songs of Dysfunct’s
but before I could join in the conversation I fell asleep. We pulled up in front of a school and Billie Joe motioned for me
to get out.
“You should probably come and meet their
teachers” He said. I was unsure why he’d want me to do that, but I did anyway. Jakob insisted on holding my hand
as we walked through the gates. Some of the older girls were watching us walk through the school grounds and I smiled at most
of them.
“That’s AJ’s ex girlfriend”
I heard one particular whisper to her friend.
“What’s she doing with Joey’s
dad?” The friend asked
“You think that’s his new girlfriend?”
The 1st girl said
“Nah, she can’t be. She went out with
a Backstreet Boy” Said the second one
“I so gotta lose that image” I said
to Billie Joe. He grinned and slipped his arm around my waist, putting his hand down the back of the shorts.
“Oh my god, maybe they are like going out”
Said the girl. I smiled at them and kept walking.
“Mr Armstrong, nice to see you again”
Said an older lady.
“Good morning Miss Anderson, just dropping
the boys off for school” He said letting me go and offering the woman his hand. She took it and shook.
“It’s nice to see you boys again”
She said to Joseph and Jakob
“Why don’t you guys go play”
He said to his sons. They immediately took off.
“I’m sorry to be rude, this is a very
good friend of mine Jaime Cobain. Jai this is the Head mistress Julia Anderson” He said
“Nice to meet you” I said with a grin
“You too dear” She said and turned
back to Billie Joe.
“Will yourself and Adrianne be attending
the parents night next week?” She asked him
“Yes, though probably not together”
He said
“I see” She said
“Anyway, we’d better go, we have some
friends waiting out the front” Billie Joe said
“Oh, shame, I would’ve liked to talk
more” She said
“Yeah, we gotta go trash a mall or something”
I said seriously. She looked taken aback. Billie Joe was struggling to keep a straight face.
“I’m sorry, did I say that? I meant
to say ‘have sex in a public place’” I said and smiled charmingly.
“Bye” Billie Joe said to her and we
walked away. He cracked up laughing.
“Sorry if that get’s you in trouble”
I said, also laughing
“Fuck it, I’m not a dad now that the
boys are in school” He grinned. I spotted the girls who were talking about me before and grinned at Billie Joe.
“Tell me if they’re still watching
us when we get near the gates” I said to him
“Ok” he said and as we walked past
them, Billie Joe blew them a kiss. When we went through the gates, Billie Joe turned his head slightly and nodded.
“They’re still watching” He
said
“Fogive me for making you look bad at your
kids school” I said and jumped up, wrapping my arms and legs around him and kissing him, all the while, watching the
girls through half closed eyes. He grabbed onto my bum as he stumbled backwards a bit and laughed against my lips. The girls’
mouths fell open and I grinned and got out of his grip.
“That’s all” I said. The head
mistress was giving me a greasy look so I waved at her. Jenn, Mike, Tré and Taz were all pissing themselves laughing.
“Give me 2” I said leaning in the
back window of his car and touching my fingertips to Taz’s. I than leaned past Tré to Mike and kissed him square on
the lips. The headmistress was still watching.
“Damn I love this” I said grinning
at Mike who was laughing. Billie Joe tossed me the car keys and went around to the passenger side.
“Do your worst baby” He said
“Oh shit yes” I said climbing in.
I started the car and put it into first gear, squealing the tires as I took off. I stuck my arm out the window and did the
rock symbol all the way to the end of the road. Billie Joe was doubled over laughing. Pulled out behind us and followed us
to the park, which Billie Joe gave me directions too. There was a group of teenagers in school uniform bent over sketch pads
drawing a picture of a tree or something.
“Oh this day just keep getting better”
I grinned to Billie Joe as I pulled into a car space.
“Whatchu got up your sleeve?” He asked
“Oh you have no idea how much fun I can
have with these kids” I said as we got out of the car. Mike pulled in behind us and they all clambered out of the car.
A few of the people looked up. I did the rock symbol. It was returned by a guy with a Mohawk, the others just stared at me.
“Alright kids, let’s see if I can
still do this” I said rubbing my hands together. I took off, running at full speed at a picnic table. I stepped up on
to the seat and propelled myself backwards, landing almost perfectly on my feet a couple of meters from the table. My friends
all cheered and I saw some of the teenagers pointing at me.
“If I had my guitar I’d start busking”
I said as they all joined me
“We are supposed to be back at BJ’s
practicing” Taz said
“Fuck Kev” I said hoisting myself
up onto the table. Billie Joe sat on the seat between my legs. The others either sat on the table or on the ground in front
of it.
“So what are we gonna do?” Jenn asked
“Run through the park flashing people”
Taz said
“Kick over garbage cans” Billie Joe
said
“Throw eggs at cars” Tré said
“Get beer’s and piss up” I said
“We gotta drive” Mike said
“That’s ok, I’ll have your share”
I said
“Aww, thanks Jai, you’re so nice”
He said. Billie Joe was watching something across the road.
“What are you looking at?” I asked
him
“I’m watching Adrianne with her boyfriend.
They saw me and started Necking against the car” He said with a shrug
“I never thought I’d have to do this,
but fuck it” I said climbing over him and kneeling on the ground in front of him.
“What the fuck?” Jenn said
“Don’t get in a tix Frick I’m
only pretending” I said as I lay my head on his thigh, facing his crotch.
“Oh my god, I can’t believe you’re
doing that” Taz said
“Why not?” If you lot weren’t
here I’d probably do it for real” I said and started moving my head up and down.
“Play along man” Tré said to Billie
Joe. I looked up and saw Billie Joe tip his head back and grinned. He put his hand on my head and I started laughing.
“Oh shit Jaime” He moaned. I started
laughing.
“How come you never do that for me?”
Tré asked
“Cos we never see your ex out?” Taz
replied. Mike and Jenn were killing themselves laughing.
“Oh shit, they’re coming over”
Billie Joe said
“Well, act like your gonna blow, come on
Billie do me proud baby” I said and undid his button with my teeth.
“Man, you’re so faking it” Taz
said
“I’m trying my best, I’ve never
had to fake before” He said through gritted teeth.
“Close your eyes, don’t watch her”
She instructed.
“Do what your bloody song says. Bite you
lip and close your eyes” Jenn said. By now they’d all moved away a little.
“Can I stop now?” He asked
“Yeah, I’m done, you done?”
I asked
“yep” He said and released his grip
on my head, leaning back and started puffing. I lifted my head and wiped my chin, like I had something on it and ‘did
up his fly’. I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him towards me, kissing him.
“I can’t believe you just did that”
he mumbled against my lips
“She still coming?” I asked, breaking
the kiss
“No they stopped a bit back, she’s
all over the guy though” he said
“Well I dunno what else to do” I said,
standing up and resuming my position on the table.
“She always liked me huh” Mike said
“yeah she did, I remember she was all over
you that night before we started recording American idiot” Billie Joe said
“I shudder to think what she did to you”
I said to him
“Oh drum shop!” Exclaimed Taz suddenly
“Go and have a look” Tré suggested
“Yeah, you wanna come?” She asked
him
“No, I think I might chill here” He
said
“Ok” She said and stood up. walking
away.
“She always liked Tré too. It seemed she’d
spend more time around us than you” Mike was saying
“What a ho” Jenn said, rocking Drake’s
pram with her foot
“I could be such a little slut right now”
I said
“What do you mean?” Billie Joe asked
“I could get onto all 3 of you” I
laughed
“Let’s play spin the baby bottle”
Tré grinned
“No” I whined
“yeah come on, it’ll be fun”
Jenn grinned producing a bottle.
“But Taz” I said. Tré got out his
mobile and dialled.
“Hey babe, we’re gonna play spin the
baby’s bottle, do you mind?” He asked and listened to her reply
“Ok, bye” he said and hung up.
“She said it was fine” he said to
me.
“Now you have no excuse” Billie Joe
said
“Alright fine” I said and spun around,
sitting cross legged on the table. The others joined us and Jenn sat the bottle in the middle.
“Female guitarist goes first” Mike
said
“Fucking bastards” I grumbled and
spun the bottle.
“Fucking typical” I said when it landed
on Tré.
“Come here sweetheart” He grinned
“Nuh, uh, you come here hunybunch”
I said. He leaned over the table and wiggled his eyebrows at me.
“No less than 30 seconds, no more than 1
minute” Billie Joe called out. I pressed my lips against Tré’s and closed my eyes.
“Jaime, this isn’t church for Christ
sake” Jenn said. I flipped her off and jammed my tongue into his mouth. Billie Joe cracked up.
“Times up” He said. I pulled away
and grinned at him.
“I’m slowly getting used to it”
I said. He laughed and spun the bottle.
“Ahh, Billie Joe, my dear friend. I do believe
the nipple is pointing to you” Tré said
“What a scandal. Green Day members caught
pashing in local park” I said. Both cracked up. Billie Joe looked behind him to see if anyone in particular was looking
and shrugged.
“She’s still there” I said
“Are there any rogue photographers?”
Tré asked
“Nope” I said looking around. They
locked lips and I couldn’t help but chuckle. I glanced at Adrianne and saw her gawking at us.
“Time’s up fella’s” Jenn
said. They broke apart and Billie Joe grinned at me. Mike was laughing.
“Billie, your turn to spin” I said.
He did so.
“Ohhh Jenn’s the lucky lady this time”
Tré said. Billie Joe leaned past Tré and pressed his lips to Jenn’s.
“Come on Jenn, It’s not church”
I said. She ignored me. I couldn’t help myself and pinched Billie Joe’s ass. He flipped me off but when he broke
the kiss he was grinning at me. Jenn spun the bottle and it landed on me.
“This should be interesting” Tré grinned
at Billie Joe.
“Girl on Girl, you fucking legend”
Mike said looking up. I laughed and crawled across the table to Jenn. She grinned and we kissed. It wasn’t that fascinating.
When the time was up I spun the bottle and it landed on Billie Joe. Mike was the only who hadn’t been kissed yet, so
I rocked the table until the bottle turned to him.
“Mikey” I called. He laughed and stood
up, coming over to the side of the table. He placed his hands on either side of me and kissed me. It was a gentle kiss and
I wanted to say ‘aww’. After a while we all got sick of it and stopped playing. Adrianne was still there and Billie
Joe was getting annoyed. They were right near the toilets.
“I have an idea” I said to him
“Oh?” He asked
“I say we head over to the dunnies make
some noises and come out fixing ourselves up” I said in his ear as I slid my hand down his chest to the waist band of
his pants.
“Are you playing up to that idea right now?”
He asked me
“Uh huh” I said
“I don’t think I can fake another
orgasm” He said
“Well don’t” I said in his ear
and slipped my hand inside his waist band.
“Oh god yes” He said. Everyone was
watching us with amused looks. I squeezed my hand in further and instantly felt him react.
“Guys, might I suggest you get a room”
Taz said as she came back carrying a pair of drum sticks. I ignored her and shoved my hand in further.
“Please tell me you’re horny too”
He murmured in my ear
“Oh you can count on that” I said.
“You really wanna?” He asked
“Fuck yeah, let’s go” I said,
retrieving my hand. Billie Joe stood up and faced me, pulling me into a standing position. Because I was standing on the seat
I was much taller than him so I had to bend down to kiss him. He lifted me down and clasped our hands together, walking backwards
in the direction of the toilet.
“Where are you 2 off to?” Tré asked
“I think they’re going to the toilet”
Jenn said. Billie Joe broke the kiss and quickened his pace, leading me passed Adrianne, who stared at us, and into the male
toilets. We passed a guy at the urinal who gave us some funny looks, into a stall and closed the door, He fiddled with my
belt and the button and zipper on the shorts while I opened his jeans. He hoisted me into his arms and thrust into me. I groaned
loudly and buried my head in his neck, sucking and nipping at it.
“Jaime” He murmured as he pushed in
and out. I heard the guy at the urinal scurrying quickly out the door and couldn’t help but grin. I ran my fingers through
his hair and leaned my head back, he kissed my neck and moaned.
“Billie” I called out.
“Are you guys fucking?” Came Taz’s
voice. Billie Joe answered her with a groan. He lifted one hand from my butt and I saw him giving the finger over the door.
“They are” Jenn whispered
“Fuck off” I snapped. They laughed
and I heard them leave.
“Oh god this is so good” Billie Joe
said in my ear. AT that exact moment my phone started ringing. I got it out of my pocket and hung up, clinging on to his back.
“Are you close?” He asked
“Yeah” I answered. He started talking
dirty in my ear and I had to bury my head in his neck again so I didn’t scream. Both of us groaned loudly though. After
a minute he set me back on my feet and I pulled my pants up.
“God that was fucking good” he grinned
“Let’s go make it obvious” I
sadi to him. He grinned and opened the stall. We both emerged from the toilets fixing ourselves up. I did up the belt and
fixed my tie, while Billie Joe did up his jeans.
“You’ve got lipstick on your neck”
I said licking my thumb and rubbing it over the red lipstick on his neck.
“If only we could fuck like that every day”
He said putting his arm around my shoulders. I slid mine around his waist and hooked my thumb through his belt loop. Adrianne
and her man were over with the others and she was flirting visibly with Tré. Taz wasn’t very impressed, but Tré ignored
both of them and waved at us. I waved back. When we reached them Adrianne glared at me.
“Are the kids at school?” She asked
“yeah, dropped them off this morning”
Billie Joe answered, sitting on the tbale. This time I sat between his legs with my arms resting on his legs.
“I hope they don’t see you acting
like this” She said
“No, they don’t. Obviously you have
no qualms about doing shit in front of them. Do you know what Jakob said to me on Saturday?” He asked
“Enlighten me” She said
“He said, dad why was John’s head
between mom’s legs. What the fuck was I supposed to say to that?” He asked. He was starting to get angry.
“Don’t let her get to you” I
said looking up at him
“Oh shit, I don’t care, as far as
I’m concerned every single one of you can fuck off. I’m going for a walk” He said and climbed over me, leaving.
I went to go after him, but Tré caught my hand and shook his head.
“Adrianne, why don’t you leave”
Mike said
“This is a free country and public park.
I can do whatever I want” She said. I watched Billie Joe walking past a tree, shaking his head. His fists were clenched
at his sides.
“Well if that’s the case than I might
just do this” I said standing up and going to hit her.
“No” Mike said
“It’s a public park, I can do what
I want” I shrugged
“You stole my husband from me” She
snarled at me.
“No, you were separated when I met him.
Did you know that he never ONCE fucked around? You were to fucking stupid to see that. Jesus Christ you had kids together
but still your jealousy got the better of you” I said
“If you like him so much why don’t
you let him come back to me?” She asked
“That’s the thing Adrianne, he doesn’t
want to go back to you, you fucked him over and you lost him because of it. Either put up with me or fuck off out of his life
altogether” I said and sat back down, getting out a smoke and sparking up.
“I hope you don’t smoke around my
children” She said
“Oh fuck off would you?” I said
“Come on” Said the guy she was with.
She glared at me one last time and let the guy pull her away.
“Yeah go on, say it” I said, not looking
at any of my friends. I knew what they wanted to say.
“Jai that’s the first time a female’s
stuck up for him” Tré said
“That’s what you do when you’re
in love right?” I shrugged and drew back on my smoke. Everyone was silent.
“Fuck this shit, I’m gonna do something
fucking crazy” I said to no one in particular. I flicked my smoke away and stood up, looking around. I saw the teenagers
still bent over the sketches and nodded to myself.
“What are you gonna do?” Mike asked
“Probably get arrested for indecent exposure”
I said and reached underneath my shirt, pulling my bra off and dropping it in Tré’s lap.
“Jai” Taz said
“Don’t try and stop me, I don’t
want you guys involved, this is a thing for me to do. If I get in trouble, so be it” I said
“I ain’t letting you do this on your
own” Mike said standing up.
“No” I said firmly
“Jai, come on, this is supposed to be a
band thing” Jenn said
“Not this time” I said and started
walking towards them. When I was a bit closer I unbuttoned my shirt and started screaming, running through them. They all
looked up, the girls in disgust, the guys couldn’t get their eyes off me. I spotted the police running over and grinned,
blowing kisses to everyone.
“I love you all” I yelled over my
shoulder as I took off, throwing the shirt off my shoulders and letting it fall to the ground so I only had the tie around
my neck. I looked behind me and saw the coppers chasing me, I also saw my friends pissing themselves laughing. I did the rock
symbol at them and all 4 of them returned it. I ran through trees, but stayed well away from the playground where I could
hear the screams of joy from small kids. I wondered where Billie Joe was and grinned.
“I love you Billie Joe Armstrong”
I screamed at the top of my lungs and hurdled a bin near where everyone was sitting. By now my boobs were really sore, but
I kept running. I snuck another glance behind me and saw the police gaining on me. I knew I was gonna be caught in a matter
of seconds so I decided to go out with a bang and started cart wheeling, doing a back flip right before I was crash tackled
by 2 police. I couldn’t help but grin as I was given my shirt and handcuffed. I looked behind me and saw my friends
still watching. I did the rock star symbol again and accepted defeat. I was taken to the police station and put in a cell
while they worked out my bail or whatever. I was sitting, singing to myself when a police officer opened the door to my cell
and stepped aside.
“Someone out there likes you. You’ve
been bailed out” He said
“Sweet” I said and followed him back
out to the front. I saw Billie Joe signing a cheque and laughed to myself. He looked up and smiled at me. I grinned back.
I got my stuff back and they told me not to do it again, I just nodded and followed Billie Joe outside.
“Tré and Mike told me what you did. Very
rock star of you” He said
“yeha well, I wanted to do something crazy,
they shitty cos I wouldn’t let them be involved?” I asked
“Nah, they all love you for it. Tré said
you yelled something out, but they told me I should ask you about that” He said as we got in his car
“I’m sure had you asked, Taz would’ve
blabbed. But since you didn’t, you’re never gonna know” I said. He laughed.
“They also told me about Adrianne. I’m
sorry I just left like that. I couldn’t take it anymore” He said
“It’s ok, I handled her” I said
“No female has ever stuck up for me”
He said
“That’s what they said. Billie you
are the most wonderful person I’ve ever known, you’re a fucking awesome rock star and an even greater father.
I don’t know why anyone would wanna hurt you” I said
“Jaime” He said after a while
“Yeah” I answered
“What do you like better? The rock star
me or the family guy me?” He asked
“I love both sides of you” I said
and leaned over to kiss his cheek.
“So, you wanna start practicing for that
threesome tonight?” he asked
“Ok” I said. He grinned. We pulled
into his drive way to find Tré’s van in the way.
“Tré and Taz are here” I said
“Just Tré” Billie Joe said
“Oh, where’s Taz?” I asked
“Her and Jennisen are at Tré’s house
planning something or other. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with your 21st” He said
“Oh, my 21st” I said
“They said not to tell you, but hey, you
can act surprised” He said. I laughed and followed him inside. Tré was nursing a beer and watching TV.
“What’s doing Frankie my man?”
I asked dropping down beside him
“I got kicked out of my own house, how bad
is that” he said, kissing my cheek
“Oh you can hang with me and Billie. I’ll
let you this one time” I said. Billie Joe sat down next to me, hading me a beer. I threw one leg over Billie Joe’s
and my other over Tré’s.
“How was jail?” Tré asked
“Fucking boring, geez I had fun committing
a crime though” I said
“It’s gonna be all over the news tomorrow”
Billie Joe said
“Fuck it” I shrugged and had a gulp
of beer. The 3 of us sat in silence for a while, before I stood up and started walking towards the door to the garage.
“Where you off too?” Tré asked
“Ima play Taz’s drums” I shrugged
“Now this, I gotta see” He said and
followed
“I’m pretty good considering I’m
a guitarist” I defended myself
“Let me get my video camera” Teased
Billie Joe. I flipped him off and went through the door. I sat my beer on the ground beside the drums and sat on the stool,
picking up the drumsticks. I got comfortable and grinned at Tré before twirling the sticks in my hands and started playing
the beat to wipe out. His jaw dropped. Billie Joe quickly picked up a guitar and started playing too. I only made a few mistakes
but not even half way through my arms and feet had gotten tired so I stopped. Tré took over and Billie Joe offered me the
guitar and nodded towards Jenn’s bass. Tré counted us in and I started picking out the notes. Billie Joe was quite handy
with a bass and we didn’t sound too bad together. I turned to face Tré and he started making weird faces at me. I started
laughing but managed to keep playing. When we were finished Tré applauded me.
“You’re not bad with drums, does Taz
know you can play?” He asked
“Yeah, she doesn’t know I can twirl
the drumsticks though. I only learnt that cos one of my first boyfriends was a drummer and he taught me” I said, leaning
against the wall. I started picking out the notes to Twist & Shout and Tré quickly joined in. I nodded to Billie Joe to
start singing and he shook his head, pointing to me as he started playing the bass notes.
“Well shake it up baby, now” I sang
and they both did the back up. It was funny. When that one was over I stopped and laughed.
“God do you know how long it’s been
since I just fucking played shit?” I said
“Don’t worry, it’s been longer
than us” Tré said
“Fuck it, let’s write down all the
songs we all know how to play and do them” Billie Joe said, so we got paper and more beer and sat on the lounge, naming
songs that we knew.
“Kryptonite” I said
“Oh, I know that one, not a bad song”
Billie Joe said
“Yeah I know it” Tré said. Billie
Joe scribbled it down and looked back at us.
“Janie’s Got A Gun” I said
“Geez you’re coming up with some good
ones” Tré said. I shrugged.. Billie Joe wrote it down.
“Love Shack” I said laughing
“Fuck yeah!” Tré said. I cracked up
harder and than remembered AJ and I.
“Screw’im” I said, more to myself
than the guys.
“What?” Billie Joe asked
“Oh, just thinking of AJ” I said
“Forget that fucker” he said
“I have, he’s gone” I said
“Mony Mony” I said after a while
“I don’t know that one” Billie
Joe said
“Shame, kick ass song” I said
“Stroke” Tré said
“Oh fuck yes, I love that song” I
said. Billie Joe wrote it down
“No Rain?” He suggested
“One of the greatest” I said nodding.
He wrote that one down too
“I have a sad one. I used to listen to it
every day for like a year” I said
“What is it?” Billie Joe asked
“I Don’t Wanna Fall In Love, by Chris
Issac, god I love that song” I said
“We’ll do that one because you’re
so special” Tré said, nodding to Billie Joe who wrote it down.
“I can’t sing it, I don’t have
a deep enough voice” I said
“Just try” Billie Joe said. I nodded.
“Mustang Sally” Tré grinned
“Too hard, we don’t have all the instruments”
Billie Joe said
“We can try” I grinned
“Start Me Up” Billie Joe suggested
“Yes, hell yes” Tré said
“Gotta have some Nirvana in there, Smells
Like Teen Spirit?” I asked
“What about Lithium” Billie Joe said
“Ooohhh yeah” I said
“I heard a recording of you and those backdoor
boys singing Oh Me, fuck you sounded good Jai” Tré said
“Put it down” I said
“Hitchin A Ride, cos Jaime sounds hott singing
it” Billie Joe said. I laughed.
“I Touch Myself and if you don’t know
it I’ll kill you both” I said
“I don’t want, anybody else, when
I think about you, I touch myself” they sang together
“Oh good, we’re so doing that one”
I said. He wrote it down.
“What about Diziness? You heard of that?”
Billie Joe asked
“heard of it, baby I fucking love it”
I said
“Tré?” he asked
“put it down” He grinned
“What about Midlife Crisis?” I asked
“Oh, Faith No More, I remember that one”
Billie Joe said
“Fuck yeah” Tré said
“That song turns me on something fucking
fierce” I said
“Ohh, that one goes at te end” billie
Joe said. I laughed.
“I don’t mean this the wrong way or
anything, but it’s nice not being with Taz and Jenn. I love both of them to death but it’s good to have some me
time” I said
“But you’re not alone” Tré said
“No, but I am doing exactly what I want,
you guys are helping me do that” I said gulping down the rest of my beer.
“You wanna know what I wanna be doing right
now?” Tré asked
“What?” Billie Joe asked. I looked
at him.
“I would LOVE to be up on stage, performing
in front of 55,000 people” He said
“What’s that like?” I asked
“Jaime, it’s fucking amazing”
Billie Joe said
“You can’t describe it. You can’t
even come close to describing it” Tré said
“I hope Dysfunct can do that one day. Be
as big as you guys and fill up a stadium” I said
“From what we’ve seen of you guys
you’ll be filling up stadiums every night for a week, just as soon as Kev realises you’re a rock band” Billie
Joe said. I grinned at him.
“You guys know Chemical Heart?” I
asked, changing the subject completely. They both shook their heads
“Shame” I said
“Welcome To The Jungle” Tré said
“Ooh yeah. Welcome to the jungle we got
fun and games. We got everything you want honey we know the names” I sang. They cheered.
“Do you guys know any Live songs?”
I asked
“Shit Towne, I Alone, Lightening Crashes,
Dolphin’s Cry” Tré listed off
“All of the above” Billie Joe said.
“You know I think we’ve got enough,
let’s play” I said. We all stood and went over to the set up. We got ready and Billie Joe gave Tré the list of
songs. We ended up playing for a good 2 hours before we retreated inside. I plugged my ipod into the stereo and hit play.
Personal Jesus by Manson started playing and I quickly jumped up and turned it up a bit.
“I fucking love this song” I said
pulling Tré up and grinding against him. Billie Joe sat and watched, smiling a little. Tré kept his hands on my hips, but
as I turned around and arched my back against him as I lowered myself to the ground, I knew he looked at Billie Joe because
Billie Joe smiled and shrugged, winking at us both. As I raised myself up I felt Tré’s hand slide across my stomach
and up under my shirt. I felt his lips on my neck and looked at Billie Joe who seemed to be enjoying this somewhat. His smile
never left his face, nor did his eyes leave mine. I felt Tré slide his hand back down my stomach to the waist band of my shorts
where he stopped. Billie Joe nodded to me. I put my hand over Tré’s and guided it into the waist band. I felt him stop
kissing me and look up at Billie Joe.
“She don’t bite man” Billie
Joe said. Tré went back to kissing my neck, sliding his hand in further. All the while we were grinding against each other.
Billie Joe stood and Tré stopped moving his hand. I watched carefully as Billie Joe stopped in front of me. Tré also stopped
kissing my neck and both of us stopped moving. Billie Joe pressed his lips to mine and Tré resumed kissing my neck and finally
slid his hand all the way inside my pants, rubbing my clit through my panties. I moaned against Billie Joe’s lips and
started feeling guilty, but at the same time, like I didn’t want this feeling to end, ever. Tré’s fingers slipped
in the side of my panties and I felt the blush rise to my cheeks. Billie Joe and Tré both must have noticed because Tré drew
back his fingers, pulling his head back from my neck and Billie Joe broke the kiss.
“We can stop” He whispered
“No. It’s just. I feel guilty”
I said
“How bout a beer?” Tré asked
“Beer is good” Billie Joe said. I
nodded. He pulled his hand from my pants and left.
“You ok?” Billie Joe asked me
“Yeah. I think I scared him off” I
said
“No, he’s good. If he didn’t
wanna play anymore he’d say so” He said
“I spose” I answered
“You know, when I was watching you with
him it turned me on so much” He said
“Yeah?” I asked, I couldn’t
help but grin
“Oh yeah. Guess that’s another fantasy
of mine. To see you with another guy” He said as Tré reappeared carrying 3 bottles of beer. He handed mine to me and
smiled. I grinned back and sat down on the lounge. Billie Joe and Tré sat on either side of me. The phone started ringing
but none of us made a move to get it.
“Someone should get that” I said.
Billie Joe stayed put, so Tré leaned over the 2 of us and picked up the phone, handing it to me
“Hello” I said and paused
“Jaime, finally, where have you been?”
Kev asked
“Uhh, if I said in a jail cell, would you
get really angry?” I asked
“yeah” he said
“Ok, well. I’ve been in a jail cell”
I said
“Why?” he asked
“Indecent exposure” I said
“Have you guys practised anything? Or is
life one giant party there?” He asked angrily
“No, we’ve been practising, 16 hour
days” I lied
“Don’t bullshit to me” He snapped
“Ok, fine, Kev, yes we have been practising,
just not as much as you’d like us too” I said
“I’m coming in 2 days. If you don’t
have at least 10 songs learnt, I’m leaving” He said
“Ok” I said but realised I was talking
to a dial tone.
“Prick” I said and hung up this end
of the phone
“Well?” Billie Joe asked
“2 days to learn at least 10 songs. Can
we do it?” I asked
“With us for teachers, fuck yeah”
Tré said. I grinned and downed my beer.
“I gotta take a piss” Billie Joe said,
standing up. He left and Tré grinned at me
“How on earth did I end up with you guys?”
I asked him
“Well the way I remember it, BJ saw you,
liked you and invited you backstage. Everything seems to have gone from there” He said and laughed. I grinned and turned
my body to face Tré who grinned at me again.
“Billie said that he liked watching me with
you” I said
“Did he now” He said
“Yeah” I said
“Well, he’s allowed” He said
and chuckled. I laughed and watched as Billie Joe came back. He’d taken his shirt off and was just in his jeans. He
sat back down and I shifted myself so I was laying with my head in his lap and my legs were over Tré.
“Sleepy?” He asked me
“Yeah I am a bit. I always get tired quick
when I drink beer though” I said
“Why don’t you go to bed?” Tré
suggested
