Let It Die (Oneshot)
We had fire in our eyes
In the beginning
I never felt so alive
In the beginning
You blame me, but
It’s not fair when you say that I didn’t try
I just don’t want to hear it any more

I swear I never meant to let it die
I just don’t care about you anymore
It’s not fair when you say that I didn’t try
I just don’t care about you anymore

You see, we were perfect in the beginning. Billie Joe and I did almost everything together. We were literally inseparable. I would go to the studio and pick up after them, but I didn’t mind, just as long as I was around Billie. He made me feel so different, like I was worth something; no one had ever made me feel that way. Billie and I would go on date’s almost everyday, and they were the best. Billie Joe can think up so many random things it isn’t even funny…well maybe it is funny. Okay, it’s fucking hilarious. I loved him to death for it. He’s as perfect as they come.

About a year into our relationship, I got a job to help pay the bills for the new house that Billie surprised me with. I’ll tell you right now, he got rewarded big time. Billie insisted that he had enough money to cover it, but I was stubborn, like always. I got a job as a manager at Hot Topic in the mall close by. The pay was really good, so why not? I started working, and it was fine the first few weeks or so. Billie would drop by on my break and we’d go out and eat in the Food Court. When Billie and the guys started to get really serious with their new album, which they decided to call Kerplunk, Billie started to call saying he wouldn’t make it to lunch. I was perfectly fine with it, I understood why he couldn’t make it, and so I didn’t get upset with him. Instead I sat with a couple of my new friends that I made in the time that I was working.

After time, Billie stopped even coming home. That part I didn’t understand. He knew that I always had dinner ready for him when he returned, but this time he blew me off the handle. He can’t be working so hard that he can’t even take the time to drive the ten minutes it took to get to our house. So the next day, I went to the studio, which I hadn’t done in quite a while due to my working. I wanted to see what they were up too. I don’t consider that being nosey, I wanted to know why my boyfriend wasn’t coming home anymore.

We had time on our side
In the beginning
We had nothing to hide
In the beginning
You blame me but
It’s not fair when you say that I didn’t try
I just don’t want to hear it anymore

I swear I never meant to let it die
I just don’t care about you anymore
It’s not fair when you say that I didn’t try
I just don’t care about you anymore

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“WHY THE FUCK AREN’T YOU HOME ANYMORE?”

Those were my first words bursting into the studio. You can’t even believe how mad I had gotten on the way over.

Billie jumped up and threw his guitar down that he was just playing.

“Oh my god honey, I haven’t seen you in a while.”

“YOU SURE AS HELL HAVEN’T! WHY AREN’T YOU COMING HOME ANYMORE? I UNDERSTOOD WHEN YOU COULDN’T COME TO LUNCH BUT NOW YOU’RE NOT COMING HOME AND YOU’RE NOT EVEN CALLING ME ANYMORE? WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?”

Billie stopped dead. There was silence for a couple of seconds when Mike said:

“I think Tré and I are just going to go outside a smoke a cigarette, right Tré?”

Tré quickly nodded, and together they power-walked out of the building.

“Hun, calm down, let me explain.”

“DON’T YOU DARE CALL ME HUN, YOU HAVE NO FUCKING RIGHT TO ANYMORE!”

“WELL MAYBE IF YOU LET ME EXPLAIN YOU MIGHT FUCKING UNDERSTAND, ALRIGHT!”

“THEN I’M FUCKING WAITING!”

This got Billie worked up, and so he started.

“WE WERE PERFECT IN THE BEGINNING, YOU KNOW? JUST YOU AND ME. YOU’D COME TO THE STUDIO AND CLEAN UP AFTER OUR DIRTY SELVES. WE’D GO OUT TO DINNER AND WHEN I WASN’T AROUND YOU’D BE AT THE HOUSE THAT YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO PAY FOR. IF YOU HADN’T GONE AND GOT A JOB, NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED!”

Billie’s face was as red as a tomato and he was breathing hard, but he kept going.

“I TOLD YOU THAT I COULD PAY OFF THE HOUSE, BUT NO. YOU HAD TO GO AND GET A JOB TO HELP OUT. I THOUGHT THAT IN THE TIME THAT WE WERE DATING YOU’D REALIZE, MAYBE, THAT I HAVE MONEY AND IF I LOVED YOU ENOUGH I’D PAY FOR EVERYTHING. I LOVE YOU, SAVINA, BUT IF I LOVE YOU’S NOT ENOUGH, I’M LOST FOR WORDS. THINGS HAPPEN, YOU GOT A JOB, AND I GOT BUSY WITH MY WORK! YOU CAN’T JUST COME HERE AND ASK WHY I HAVEN’T BEEN HOME! YOU KNOW SURE AS HELL WHY!”

“I GOT A JOB BECAUSE I WANTED TO FEEL LIKE AN ADULT, YOU KNOW? ADULTS GET A JOB TO PAY THE BILLS! I DIDN’T WANT TO FEEL LIKE A LITTLE CHILD BEING TAKEN CARE OF HER BOYFRIEND! MAYBE I WANT TO FEEL LIKE AN ADULT, ALRIGHT? AND NO, I DON’T KNOW WHY YOU’VE BEEN SO BUSY WITH YOUR WORK. MAY YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN?

“I DON’T SEE WHY YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT NOW, WHEN WE WERE RECORING OUR LAST ALBUM YOU CAME OVER AND SPENT THE NIGHT WITH US!”

“OH MY FUCKING GOD BILLIE, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE YOU TO GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD? I.HAVE.A.JOB. YOU GOT THAT?
“YOU FUCKING BITCH! YOU KNOW WHAT? OUR RELATIONSHIP HAS BEEN GOING DOWNHILL EVER SINCE YOU GOT A JOB. I SWEAR I NEVER MEANT TO LET IT DIE, I TRIED FOR A WHILE, BUT YOU WERE ALWAYS AT WORK AND WHEN YOU WEREN’T I WAS AT THE STUDIO. I JUST DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU ANYMORE. YOU HAVE A WEEK TO GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!”

“SO I’M THE FUCKING BITCH? I’LL TELL YOU SOMETHING BILLIE, I GOT A JOB NOT ONLY TO HELP PAY FOR THE HOUSE AND TO FEEL LIKE AN ADULT, BUT SO I COULD GET ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY THIS!”

With that, she took a small box out of her coat pocket and threw it down. She turned around and stormed out of the building.

Billie stared at the door for a while, his brain not processing what had happened. He looked down at the box that Savina had thrown down in her rage.

“Are you alright? We heard everything.”

Mike and Tré walked back into the studio, with worried looks on their faces.

“Yeah, we saw her storm out of here and get in her car and drive away.”

Billie sighed. He couldn’t believe what had happened. It just wouldn’t process through his mind.

“Not really, I just told her to get out of my house by next week.”

Mike and Tré looked at him sympathetically.

“I’m so sorry, dude.” Mike said.

“Me too.” Tré agreed. He soon noticed the little box.

“Hey, what’s that?”

Billie looked down at the little box that layed in front of him.

“Eh, something that Savina threw down before she ran out.” Billie shrugged.

Mike looked down on it, and realized what it was.

“Uh, Billie, I think you need to see what’s in that box.”

“You’re right, I guess. It can’t stay there forever.”

Billie walked a couple steps and picked it up. He brought it over to a table close by and set it down. Mike and Tré followed suit. Billie closed his eyes for a moment, as if he was in desperate pain. He slowly opened the box.

Billie, Mike, and Tré gasped.

There was a beautiful engagement ring right in the middle of the tiny little box that Savina had thrown down.

I swear I never meant to let it die
I just don’t care about you anymore
It’s not fair when you say that I didn’t try
I just don’t care about you anymore

GRRR!!! WELL THAT BRAIN OF YOUR'S BETTER DO IT'S JOB AND GIVE YOU SOME IDEAS!!! GAHHH!!! lol

lol. I'm trying to think of something.

One shots can be a bit hard.  I have several ideas of my own, but it's hard to type them up to words.  I'm working though!

Don't worry Kristen, I'm sure you will think of something!

Yeah, Kristen you'll be fine

OOOH. FAYE HAS IDEAS!!! MUST. SEE. SOON.

lol thanks guys.

And Faye, we MUST see those ideas!!!!!

*NODS*

Ummm...you really want them?  Okay.  But, I must warn you...they aren't very good.  And when I do post my ideas for my one shots, please don't steal them.  I know that you guys would never do that, but some friskey guests that come on here might.  

I will post the ideas for my one shots in a bit.

YAY! ....and yeah, I would never steal your ideas.

me either

PLEASE POST

Thank you guys!  

Okay here are my ideas so far.  I'm going to give you the titles and what I think they will be about.

1. What We Have Been Through
Billie Joe is talking to Joey on the phone.  Billie Joe and Adrienne are split up, and Joey is living with Adrienne, Jakob, and Billy Bisson.  This story is a sad one is ends in tradgedy (sp?).

2. It Can Be All You Need
Jakob has just broken up with his girlfrined, and is very sad.  Ramona looks out for him, and is agrivated (sp?) that Jakob is still upset over his loss.  She leades him away after school and they get high.  

3. Will You Be Sorry When I'm Gone?
Billie Joe and Adrienne get in a fight in the middle of the night when Joey is about 5 and Adie is preggers with Jakob.  Adrienne leaves Billie Joe for Minnesota.  Yeah I know, it is like "The Last Day" a little, but it will be different too.

4. Will You Love Me In The Morning?
Billie Joe and Adrienne are at a party, where they meet.  They both end up drunk and end up having sex. WOOT!  This one is based off of Kristen's "Tell Me A Lie."
