I am one of those melodramatic fools: Billie Joe Armstrong: 4- Maybe I'm not so alone
Meera's POV:
I instantly woke up and wanted to die. My head felt like a thousand little people were inside beating on the walls of my skull. I jumped out of my bed and ran for the bathroom before pretty much throwing up everything I had eaten and drank yesterday. It burned my throat causing my eyes to water. I felt Tucker holding my hair as he rubbed my back. After I had pretty much emptied the contents of my stomach I stumbled back to my room and laid face down back on my bed. About five minutes later Tucker came in carrying a glass of water and some Tylenol. "Take this love, and maybe you'll feel alive again," he said handing them both to me. I sat up and downed the medicine greedily.
"Tucker about last night... thank you. I don't know what the hell I was thinking by letting him do that. If you hadn't had been there..." I trailed off staring at my lovely green comforter. "No worries love, I was there so you don't have to think about it. Next time we go to a party though you have to be the designated driver." I smiled at him knowing that no matter what he would never know how truly amazing he was. "Deal," I said shaking his hand. We made a lot of deals.
As soon as Tucker woke me up on Monday morning I knew the day was going to suck. I had to face Billie again. Damn it all. "Hey Tucker you know how you're like my favorite person in the entire world and all?" I said trying to seem as sincere as possible. "Yeah," he said slowly scrunching is eyebrows. "Well I was kinda thinking that you, London, and I could all skip today." "Hey London can we skip today," Tucker yelled through my open door. "No, so hurry up and get your asses down here." She yelled back. "Mommy give London some coffee to make her nice again," I yelled. "Alright, can do," my mom yelled back.
Once again Tucker let me drive to school. I think I'm getting better at it though. I mean I didn't even hit anything today. I did almost take out some joggers, but I missed. My day went by pretty eventless until lunch. You see it used to be just Tucker, London, and I that ate lunch together by our tree. Well since the lovebirds can't freaking breathe without being near one another its been Tre', Mike, and Billie to. Don't get me wrong I had no problem with Tre' or Mike. I mean Tre' and I were pretty good friends now. That kid was always there to be hyper with me except he was on a 24/7 sugar high. Mike was really cool to. I mean yeah he was all laid back most of the time, but that guy was freaking hilarious. Him and Tucker were like best friends now. Billie was the only problem.
Everything would be freaking perfect without him seriously. Well lunch came around and as usual I was the first one to the tree. I mean everyone else actually ate lunch, but I was never hungry in the middle of the day. I had always been that way even in elementary school. "I was wondering if I could ask you something," a guy about my age asked looking kind of nervous. Usually I would have said something sarcastic like you just did, but this guy was really hot. He had black shaggy hair and his nose pierced along with the most gorgeous blue eyes I had ever seen.

"Sure," I said standing up and walking away from the tree with him. I mean my friends were going to show up soon, and I could tell he was shy so it would help if they weren't around to intimidate him. "My name is Xander. Anyways I've seen you around and not only are you extremely beautiful but you seem like an amazing person and I was wondering if maybe you'd go out with me." Xander said looking down at his shoes. They weren't interesting like Tre's shoes so he must be shy. Normally I wouldn't go out with a guy I just met, but he seems so sweet and not to mention he's really hot.
"I'd like that," I said grasping his hands. He just smiled before leaning in and giving me a kiss on the cheek. I was blushing like mad as he walked away to go get lunch. I mean it's one thing when Tucker kisses me on the cheek because he's my best friend, but when a really hot guy does it I go completely shy and girly. I walked back to the tree smiling like an idiot. Of course all the gang and Billie (I don't include him in my gang) were already there and by the looks of things had been watching the whole thing. "So who was that?" London asked smiling at me. "A ninja," I replied sitting against the tree. "You seemed incredibly friendly with said ninja," Tre' replied doing his weird eyebrow wiggling thing that always amuses me.
"Well said ninja is now my ninja boyfriend," I said containing one of those girly squeals. "That's awesome Sully. Wow, we might have to start beating the guys off you with a stick." Tucker said throwing a cheeto randomly at my head. I stuck my tongue out at him. "You're one to talk. We can't even take you to the mall without half the girls drooling over you. Remember that one time we took you to hot topic and that one weird chick stocked you for the rest of the day," I retorted. Seriously he was like a girl magnet, but he's never had a girlfriend because he never found that 'connection'.
"You guys aren't right for each other," Billie muttered glaring at Xander who was across the courtyard talking to some friends. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I asked angrily. He didn't say anything as he got up and left us sitting there stunned. "Oh hell no," I muttered getting up to follow him. He had gotten into the building by the time I caught up with him. "What the hell was that about?" I sneered causing him to stop walking and face me. "You guys will never make it," Billie replied simply. "What the fuck makes you think that?"
"Because who's going to want to be in relationship with you." I went to slap him, but he grabbed my wrist before I made contact and pulled me to him. Billie Joe just stood there holding me. I felt him bury his face into the crook of my neck. I was really mad now. How dare he go and insult me and then try to shove his teenage hormones on me. I bit down hard into his shoulder causing him to shove me away as he screamed in pain. That'll teach him. He then left muttering and I was alone.
Saturday:
After fixing my hair just right I twirled in front of my mirror happy with my appearance. I was wearing a pair of my favorite jeans along with a black corset shirt. I had smeared some green eye shadow on to match. No, I don't get dressed up if all I'm going to do is sit around my house and watch midnight movie marathons (even though those are freaking awesome). Tonight was going to be my first date with Xander. I mean we had been hanging out after school and all at my house, but tonight he was taking me out. I heard the doorbell and almost tripped over some random crap in my floor trying to get out the door.
"Bye Mom," I screamed running down the stairs. "Bye sweetie, you look lovely," my mom screamed back. She had met Xander and I quote said 'Wow, he's really hot love. I think he's a keeper.' Luckily she had he decency to say it when he wasn't around. Xander stood there wearing a pair of ripped up jeans and a band tee. "Wow," he said holding out his hand which I gladly took. "So where are we going?" I asked excited.
"I'm not telling you. You're just going to have to wait and see." "No, don't do this to me. The curiosity is going to torture me until I know," I whined giving him my puppy dog face. He just laughed before opening the car door for me. "Wow, and I thought chivalry was dead," I said laughing. "How can it be dead when such a lovely girl as you deserves it?" Well isn't he the charmer. The whole car ride we pretty much jammed to the radio. It turns out that we like a lot of the same music, except that hes into the older punk and I like a lot of the new stuff. When the car stopped I squealed in excitement. We were at the ice skating ring. Tucker had brought me here a few times before to teach me how to skate. He had said it was a crime against humanity to not be able to ice skate. Tucker was weird though.
"So are you excited?" Xander asked pulling out his wallet and paying for us. "Heck yes I am. I freaking loved ice skating the few times Tucker took me." Okay even though I love ice skating doesnt mean Im good at it. I'm not like really bad or anything, but I'm paranoid. The whole time I was latched to Xander who made it seem so damn easy. Slowly he pulled me into the middle of the ring before leaning in and kissing me softly. My eyes fluttered shut as I kissed him back. Besides the random kisses by Billie Joe, this was my first real kiss. I felt him smile against my lips causing me to smile as well. This was the kind of perfect kiss all girls dreamed of.
When it started getting late we turned in our skates and he drove me home. Just like before he opened my door for me and walked me up the driveway. "That was awesome," I said, "I really had a great time." He just smiled at me before leaning in and kissing me again. "You are so fucking beautiful," he whispered pulling away slightly. I leaned back in meeting his lips. I watched the taillights of his car fade away before going inside. My mom stood there in the hallways smiling at me. I knew she had been peaking through the blinds again. "So I can see you had a good time," she said wiggling her eyebrows. God, now she was starting to take after Tre'. "He's so amazing mom. I think I finally found someone for me," I said before pretty much skipping up the stairs to my room. Don't ask how the hell you skip up stairs. It's one of those weird spur of the moment things.
After changing into some comfy clothes and washing my face I laid on my bed putting on my headphones. I didn't seem to hear the music though. My thoughts kept going to mine and Xander's kiss and how it compared to when Billie kissed me. As much as I hated to admit it even though Xander's kiss made me shiver Billie's was just so much more passionate. God, I'm one fucked up kid. I rolled over and tried to go to sleep. I was just about to close my eyes when I saw the lights on my cell going off. I pulled my headphones out and grabbed my phone.
"City morgue, you kill 'em we'll keep 'em," I said into the receiver.
"You are so morbid." It was London.
"So what do I owe to the pleasure of your interest?" I said completely aware that that made no sense what so ever.
"How did your date go love? Did he kiss you?"
"Awesome and yes," I replied trying to hold in a squeal. God I was acting more like a girl everyday.
"Come on and give me details then," London said excitedly, "Wait let's three way Tucker. I think he should be a part of your first date."
I quickly pushed the flash button and dialed Tucker's number before switching back to London. We listened to the phone ring about 30 seconds before Tucker answered.
"Hello," he said breathlessly.
"Tucker what the hell have you been doing?" London asked.
"Having hot steamy sex with the toaster," he replied casually.
"Eww," London and I said at the same time.
"So what's up?" Tucker asked. I swear I could hear him smirking.
"Well our lovely Mer here is going to tell us about her date with Xander," London said excitedly.
"Sweet," Tucker replied.
"Okay well he took me ice skating and get this chivalry isn't dead because he opened every door for me."
"Tell us about the kiss," London urged.
"Well he pulled me out into the middle of the ring and kind of leaned in and our lips met. It was so sweet Paris. Then he kissed me again at my door after telling me how beautiful I am." I squealed.
"Wow, so this guy is a charmer. Are we going to have to start supervising you kids," Tucker asked playfully.
I stuck out my tongue before remembering that they couldn't see me.
"I think she just stuck out her tongue at you," London told Tucker laughing.
"OMG, how did you know that?" I asked astounded.
"ESPN, I have it during football season." London replied matter of factly.
That night Tucker, London, and I talked all night. It wasn't a first of course seeing as we tended to do this to make up for our lack of lives. Of course there wasn't anything in particular that we talked about. I mean it went from why rubber ducks weren't evil (which Tucker swore they were) to why Tucker didn't have a girlfriend even though he was irresistible to most girls besides London and I.

I've seen your boyfriend and I don't think he treats you right, but that's none of my business is it? I'm not the way you think I am. Nooooooooo, I'm not the way you think I am.

Okay guys, I know it was kinda short and late, but I've been having some weird stuff going on. I know that's no excuse but believe me I spend almost everyday all day working on these stories. I do nothing else seriously... okay well I do get on myspace. Anyways I hope you enjoyed it. I think Xander is hot. ^__^ Also my lovely Kameko made me a banner for this story as well. It's pretty isn't it. I love all my banners soooooo much. They're great and they make me happy. I love messages too, even if they end up being hate mail (which suprisingly I haven't gotten any yet). It makes me feel important.
