Mike: Billie grimaced and tried to ignore me. But enough is enough, I can't see him suffer anymore. "Please just listen to me... I know that it is not easy for you. Billie you are not well. And we all know why. You miss Adrienne. And don't start to deny it now" Brian: When Mike pronounced Adie's name, Billie flinched. He was a master at repressing. I put my arm around him carefully... "You know that we love you and always want the best for you. It torments us to see you like that." He turned his head away in annoyance and nudged my arm off his shoulder. "Billie, I know Adie feels the same way."
Billie: Why did it hurt so bad to hear her name? Will I ever be able to forget her? I kept telling myself that I was fine. But with every word something broke inside me. "Stop talking about her," I swore. "I don't love her, and I don't miss her either. I have to listen to this shit every year. I'm fine," I said with conviction. "Just because I like to have a drink doesn't mean I'm sad." Mike : "It's enough now, Billie!!" I said a little louder. "Yesterday you were crying on the stairs, you called her in your sleep. You can't stand it when someone talks about her. It's time you stop lying to yourself. You call our friends at night when you are drunk or high because you think you are talking to her. You get irritated and emotional when someone mentions Minnesota, you... " Brian: "Mike, please stop" I said and cut him off.Billie sat there like a mashed potato. Mike & I had discussed speaking plainly yesterday, but I can't stand to see him like that... "It's too much ... make it step by step".
Mike: "I know... Billie, I love you. You have to open your eyes. Please let us help you. I'll call Adie. I'll get her number somehow. Or we'll call her brother Steve. Kevin knows a dude who is still in contact with him... " "NO!!" Billie interrupted me and stormed out of the kitchen angrily. "You leave... her... damn it alone !!"
Mike: "You can't even pronounce her name !!" I said angrily. "Now come back ..." He ignored me and left the house ... you could only hear him hissing "I'm in the studio ..." Brian : "What should we do now?" Mike : "You know what we have to do ... it's enough"
