Part 1 Part 2
“You know, he told me he thinks he… you know.” Billie tries to explain without using the ‘word’. “No I don’t know Billie, what?” Mikes growing inpatient with the singer skirting around what he’s trying to say. “You know the ‘L’ word…?” Billie nudges Mike. “Please don’t lie Bill I hate it when you do that.” Mike scowls at him. “Hey! When have I lied too you?” Billie is shocked. “Oh let me see…” Mike pretends to think because he can’t actually remember anything right this second. “Hey, white lies that make everything end up all good, are ok.” he puts his hands up, “anyway would I really lie to you about something this big?” “You still kissed him!” Mike shot back. “No, he kissed me…” Billie pointed out “ I can’t help it if all people want to do is throw themselves at me. I am just sooo kissable.” he puckered up his lips, “Irresistible these things are.” “Yer, yer come back to earth Bill.”
They were sat on a wall on the edge of the parking lot of a gas station smoking as well as discussing the matter of Tre kissing Billie last night. Tre still being in his bunk where Mike had left him to sulk. He wasn’t really sure what to say after the drummers outburst.
“So do you?” Billie asks. “Do I what?” Billie sighs “Love him!” He says excited that his two best friends might have realised. Finally. “I don’t know,” Mike sighs rubbing his hands over his face. “Well you best figure it out then.” Billie nudged Mike “He’s coming this way.” Mike looked up watching the drummer slowly walk towards them, wearing Mikes’ sweater; it was way to big for Tre, it was to big for him, but Tre always stole it when they were on tour it’s the only reason Mike brings it along. Tre always look adorable in it. Mike still didn’t know whether to be angry or not.
“Hey, can we talk?” he looked up at Mike squinting from the sun. “Sure.” Mike replied. “Oh was that someone calling me?” Billie said, “No, but you can fuck off now.” Mike answered with slight amusement. “Fine I was just trying to be discrete,” “You… discrete?” Tre questioned. Billie huffed “Fine I’m going.” He stormed of in a semi-dramatic way. Leaving the pair alone. And silent… Again.
“I need to know what this is?” Tre blurted out “Us, you and me, What are we?” he scuffed his feet about, staring at them intensely. “I don’t know…” Mike replied solemnly.
Another long silence; they both watch the trees blowing in the light breeze, the sun glistening through the leaves.
Tre sighs “Ya know your suppose to say words when you talk…?” “Don’t you think I know that? Its you. I cant think or function with you around. You and your stupid eyes!” Mike practically blurts everything out. “Hey! What wrong with my eyes?” “Nothing, their perfect.” he mumbles back, looking away. “Their what?” Tre pulls Mikes face back towards him. “Their perfect” Mike repeats looking straight at them,
“Just like you.” “Well that’s a lie.” Tre lets go of Mike chin looking off into the distance “I am the lease perfect person in this world, Mike, why would you think I was an more than that. All I do is fuck things up.” “You mean by kissing Billie? Cause I have on good authority that he has kissable lips and it can’t be helped people just are attracted, its kinda like a magnet…” They both chuckle. “He tell you that?” Mike nods “Pretty much.” They both laugh again.
They go back to serious mode, Mike straightens up “You didn’t fuck anything up Tre, you can’t fuck something up if you don’t know what it is… And I’ve never stopped you from doing what you want to do.” he sighs looking Tre in the eyes, “Your Tre Cool, you do what you want and I know one day you’ll stop coming into my bus in the middle of the night, I get it you’re a free spirit… its what you are I can’t change that, I don’t want to change that.” Tre looked puzzled for a second. Then he did something most un-Tre like it almost, well it did knock Mike back for six, literally.
He stood up from sitting on the wall, stood right in front of Mike, who was more than a bit confused mainly because the drummer looked almost nervous…
