A So Called Thing Called Crazy, chapter 1
I was sitting around my dad's guitar shop practicing some new tabs I found. I was really into my playing that I didn't notice a customer come in.
"Hey your pretty good. Do you work here?" The mystery customer asked me.
I looked up and fell backwards out of my chair as my idol stood above me.
"Oh my god... Billie Joe... Am I dreaming? Yes I work here, my dad owns this place."
"No, your not dreaming," he chuckled "That's awesome that your dad owns this place, maybe I should stop in here more often." He smiled and winked at me. "I'm looking for a new acoustic right now."
"Okay, do you have a specific kind your looking for?" I asked him while trying not to sound to interested to the point where he would think of me a s stalker.
"Uhhh... not really.." Billie Joe replied looking around the shop.
"Okay, well then try this one out. It's really light and it made from rose wood." I informed him as I handed him a guitar that was hanging on a rack.
"O it has nice sound, I like it. I'm gonna buy it." He said smiling.
"Well that was by far one of my most easy sales." I smiled back at him.
"Hey, I think me and you should play together sometime... And you have to meet the rest of the band." Billie Joe said through his sexy smile.
"Dude that would be so awesome! That was my biggest dream someday, to be able to play guitar with you guys! My shift is over a 7 everyday and I don't work on weekends." I replied with the biggest smile on my face.
"Awesome, I'll stop back by at 7" Billie Joe winked at me and walked out of the store with his new guitar.
I was still standing by the door in total shock. I could not believe it, had Billie Joe really just walked in here and bought a guitar? Oh my god I have to call someone... I had no one to call. I was practically a loner. For what I cared, people could just leave me, my guitar and my music alone.
My dad walked in from the back room reading some papers.
"DAD! Guess what!!!" I practically screamed.
"You sold another guitar?" My dad replied being sarcastic.
"Dad, come on, would I be that excited about just selling another guitar? I SOLD A GUITAR TO BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG!!" I yelled jumping up and down.
"That dude from Green Day?" He said now looking a little more interested.
"YES!!! I got to meet Billie Joe from Green Day!!!! He's coming back by later so I can meet the rest of the band!!!!!" I was still jumping.
"O yeah? That's awesome. I have more stuff to do in the back though."
My dad left the room and walked to the back and I was smiling so big that my mouth hurt.
"DAD I'M GONNA GO HOME REAL FAST! YOU CAN LOCK UP EARLY!" I yelled to the back as I ran out of the store. I jumped in my 69' Mach 1 and sped home.
My sister was over at my house again, she never left us alone, but this time I was so glad. She was my make-up artist for all of my photo-shoots.
"Dude, we need to make me look super hot really fast." The words came out of my mouth as soon as I walked in the door and saw her.
"Dude, I'm tired, I don't feel like it right now." She said very lazily.
"Dude I don't care about your shit right now, I am about to meet Green Day!!!" I hyperly told her.
She was about 9 years older than me and could kick my ass, but she followed my command and slowly rolled off the couch.
I was speeding back to the guitar shop at 6:25. We only lived about 3 minutes away but I wanted to get there and blast the amp before they came. I was rockin' out to Green Day so loud that people miles away could probably hear.
I arrived at the shop and threw myself out of the car. I found my key and unlocked the door. I switched on the lights and walked back to my guitar that was stashed in the back room and I brought it out front. I propped open the case and retrieved my cords. I plugged into the biggest amp we had. My mic was all set up and now my guitar was too. With my Green Day mix plugged into another amp to give it even more loudness, I turned on all amps.
While I was singing and strumming away to 'Waiting', Billie Joe sneaked into the shop and walked up to the amp Green Day was playing in and powered it off. Everyone caught a moment of my playing without backup.
"Wow, you can sing and play guitar? Let's call you Billie Joe 2. Nice lights." He said pointing at the ceiling.
I laughed at his Billie Joe 2 comment. "Yeah, I got them for my room, but I like them for when I play guitar and I usually only play here." I informed Billie Joe about the symphony of multi-colored lights I had dangling from the ceiling.
"It looks like a concert. Well, are you ready, the rest of the guys are waiting in the car." He asked smiling again.
"Fuck yeah I'm ready." I replied back not caring that I was about to leave my guitar out.
I was so excited about going out with the band, but all my fun got drained as some of the poser chicks from my school walked up.
"Hey sexy. What are you doing with this loser?" Sonya said.
"Yeah, we could show you a fun time." Breana giggled at Billie Joe trying to seduce him.
"No that's okay... I'm gonna have a good time with Mackenzie here, a better time than you could ever give me" Billie Joe snapped back which shocked them.
"Well fine then, your loss." Sonya walked away.
"Asshole." Breana followed.
As soon as they were gone, Billie Joe and I cracked up laughing. He opened my door and I stepped into there limo.
"O so your Billie Joe's new girl, huh?" Tre asked me.
"Billie Joe, she's fuckin' hot." Mike added in.
"Guys.. shhh..." Billie Joe said to them in a loud whisper so I could purposely hear.
"Hey guys! It's like my dream to meet you all." I never thought I would be saying those words to Green Day, in person.
"You're the girl in my dreams too!" Mike replied making me laugh.
I was sitting next to Billie Joe and he had his arm around me. Now that's kind of weird, a 17 year old and a 33 year old. I'm surprised he's not married yet.
"Hey, do you care how long we drive for? The place I want us to go is kind of far away." Billie Joe anxiously asked me.
"No, I don't care at all, I love long drives." I smiled back at him.
"Hey your pretty good. Do you work here?" The mystery customer asked me.
I looked up and fell backwards out of my chair as my idol stood above me.
"Oh my god... Billie Joe... Am I dreaming? Yes I work here, my dad owns this place."
