My Life Got Better.. After I Died, chapter 5
After the guys got back it was sort of boring. They were all just talking about thier next gig and things like that. The next show was going to be in my hometown. I couldnt believe it. I never heard anything about it. I think they must have sponataniously planned it. I was in shock that after I died, they decide to go to my hometown. I was definently going, maybe I would see some of my old friends there. The next week seemed to go by slow. I was kind of excited about getting to see all of the people I left behind. I wanted to see if they were mad or sad or if they even gave a fuck. I assumed that they didnt. Finally the time came though. We were back in my town.
"I lived here, you know," I tell Seth. Green Day was at the hotel getting ready for thier show. I decided to go to my house and visit and stuff.
"Does it feel weird to be back?" Seth asked. I thought long before I answered.
"Sort of, I think it will be weirder when I get to my house." I say. We get to my house and I hesitate before floating in.
"Just go." Seth says.
"Okay." I say. Seth waits outside for me though. I float in. I dont really see anything in the living room. I hear Green Day faintly playing.
"What the hell?" I ask myself. I float into my room. Wake Me Up When September Ends is still playing. I had put that song on repeat, before I died. Everything in my room was exactly the same. My mom didnt even turn off the radio. She didnt touch anything. I then realized my mom was in my room, sitting on the floor. She wasnt crying though. She just seemed to be staring blankly into space.
"She cares about me now." I think to myself. I had seen enough. I went into my sisters room. I was expecting her to be happy, that I was finally gone. She was sitting in her room. She was watching her Family Guy DVDs as usual. She always loved this episode, and watched it over and over. Her favorite part was when an old man laughs and his jaw breaks. That was the episode she was watching, but when the mans jaw broke she didnt even do anything. I looked at my sister. She looked dead. She had tears running down her eyes. I didnt think I would affect anyone I knew. I had seen enough at my house. It didnt really make me feel better going home and observing my mother and sister. I floated back outside.
"Ready to leave?" Seth asked.
"Yeah." I said. I expected Seth to ask me about it, but he didnt. I think he knew that I didnt want to talk about it. We decided to go back to the hotel and follow Green Day to thier show. The drive was short, as Seth and I floated above the car. We got to the show and I realized that we hadnt pulled a prank on the guys in a while. The guys were already inside. They were just walking around waiting for the show to start. Mike grabbed a beer out of the cooler and took a sip. He set it down on the table and went to get something small to eat. While he was at the food table, I took the beer and put it next to Tre, who didnt even notice, as he talked to some guy. Mike walked back.
"Hey I could of sworn I put my beer right here." he said to himself. He looked around the room. I then saw him lock his eyes on where Tre was sitting.
"What are you doing dude?" Mike said. Tre realized Mike was yelling at him.
"I didnt do anything." Tre protested.
"Except steal my beer." Mike said. Tre looked down and saw two beers sitting in front of him.
"Holy crap I swear I didnt." Tre said. Tre really did look utterly confused. Seth and I burst out laughing, too bad no one could hear us. I thought it odd that we hadnt seen any other ghosts. After that the show began. I walked out and looked around for any familiar faces. I looked around and floated above the mosh pit, then I saw my best friend,Kelsey, my sister,Cj, and my sisters best friend,Kayla. They were all just sort of standing there.
"Were here, because Rebecca would have liked to be here." Kelsey said in her monotone voice.
"Yeah but is no fun, without Rebecca, I mean Green Day was her favorite band, none of ours." Kayla said. I couldnt believe they were all here. Then a guy walked up. It was Travis. When I saw his deep brown eyes filled with sorrow, I regreted killing myself. I desperately wanted to be in the crowd with them right now, rocking out to Green Day. I knew I never would have the chance to do that now. Maybe there was some magical force that could make it happen though.
