Best Night Ever, chapter 2
So where I left off Matt and me had just been acquainted with Mike and Billie Joe of Green Day. (Yay!) And my best friends had bought me and themselves backstage passes off of someone they know from where Green Day was performing. So we got home and we went out to eat at the c.p.k and then went and shopped around a little and went home. The next day we prepared to meet Green Day, well actually for me it was more like seeing them again but anyway. I had no clue how we were getting there I assumed Maddi's mom was driving, but then again a car with 4 girls and a guy isn't exactly quiet and not the best driving conditions. So we sat on my porch for like an hour. "I'm so bored" I finally said, " Screw this I'm waiting inside". Just then a limo pulled up and I turned around, look at them then I said, "ok tell the guy the right address and if you need me I'll be inside". "Get in the car loser" Maddi said to me. I hate being wrong so I told them to seriously stop joking but I followed them into the car.
We drove forever, wow like I mean when we got there I thought we had missed the concert "What time is it?" I asked for the hundredth time. "Sami the time hasn't changed from the last you asked" Matt replied. After apologized Karly pulled out 5 passes, 1 for me, 1 for Matt, 1 for Maddi, 1 for Amanda and 1 for herself. "Okay, who has any idea where we go?" Manda said. "Inside" I blankly stated, "Thank for clarifying that Sam" Matt replied with sarcasm. We continued to walk inside where the guy who checks the tickets took us backstage to a really big room. There was a couch in the middle of the room, there was someone on it but it was to dark to see.
We sat down there wasn't enough room so I went out of the room with Karly to go see who we could find. "Karly look" I whispered to her but she had already seen Billie Joe, Mike and Tre they were practicing for the show. Karly must have forgot where she was because she began to walk on stage. Luckily Green Day was done practicing, so they began to go backstage. I didn't want to act like Billie Joe and I were friends; we sat next to each other on a plane that's all. So after hitting Karly on the back we started to walk over to our beloved favorite band.
"Billie Joe?" I asked " Hi, we meet on the plane yesterday". "Oh yeah, I remember" he said back to me. "This is Karly, my friend" I introduced her and she shook his hand "Hi" she said and she continued to shake his hand for like an hour. "Well uh-Karly, why don't you um- let go of Billie Joe's hand now"? I said. Realizing it had been over 2 minutes she let go and we all walked back into the room. When we got there Mike greeted us. Tre and Matt were talking about something, that I don't really care to no about. Mike was standing by the door and Maddi and Amanda weren't that far behind him. They were talking about how amazing Green Day was and asking him all sorts of questions. We all hung out for a while before the show and then they had to go do their pre-show traditions.
The show was kick-ass; the band played American Idiot, Holiday, Jesus of Suburbia, St Jimmy, Give Me Novacaine, Letterbomb, Homecoming, Whatsername and so many other songs that would take so long to name. After Green Day had played the last note of the last song they came backstage again. By now I was so hungry.
"I want Japanese food" I said while we all got ready to take pictures and get everything we own sign. "After this we'll go out" someone said. "What ever" I replied. We handed Matt a camera and showed him how to use it. We had argued who would stand next to the band members on the way up because we knew that we were going to take pictures. So I of course stood next to Billie Joe because it was my birthday! After the lights in my eyes went away and all of our stuff was autograph we decided it was time to go.
I of course didn't really want to go but the guys from Green Day and I had spent so much time together that I really did considered them friends. "Well I guess we'll keep in touch" Mike said. "You'll have to if you want to live to see the next day" I joked then realized how disappointed I was. I hugged Billie Joe good-bye and told them to tell Tre I was sorry I didn't see him before I left. I stepped into the car and shut the door reached into my bag to call my mom to tell her I was on my way home, but when I reached into my bag my phone...it was gone.
