After The Show, chapter 1
My friend Melissa and I have been dieing to see Green Day for years. We finally had our one and only chance to go in Boston while we were there for a week to visit people. The day of the concert was our last day in Boston so we would have to leave in a hurry if we wanted to make it back home. But we didn't care, as long as we got to see our favorite band and idols.
We went to the show, saw Green Day, and had the times of our lives. It was just about 11 PM... shit... We were running all around the building to look for our ride and we could not find them. In the distance of the parking lot we saw the red SUV we drove in on, thank God! Melissa and I ran for our lives to make it to the car when all of the sudden Melissa tripped on her untied shoelace! I bent down to help her up in a hurry when all of the sudden we heard a kind voice from behind us ask "Are you ok?"
We looked up at the figure of a short man standing before us with a warming and welcoming look in his eyes... it was Billie Joe Armstrong. "Uh... yea... ?" Melissa said, trying to figure out what just happened and who this guy really is.
"Oh, we're fine. Don't worry about us, thank you though." I said, trying to be polite and not act like a total dumbass. I was totally amazed though, here he was, the lead singer of Green Day, standing right in front of me. I just could not believe my eyes.
"So where are you two girls from?" he asked actually sounding slightly interested.
"We're from Florida, we're going back tonight there's our... ..SHIT!! Melissa! They left without us!!! What the hell are we going to do now!?" I screamed as I was trying to answer his question pointing to where our car used to be. I guess they didn't see us coming or something and they just left without us! Jesus Christ! What was wrong with them leaving without their kids!?
"Huh? What's going on out here?" Questioned a confused Mike Dirnt appearing from the backstage door.
"Well... I guess these girls were left behind by their ride and they live in Florida. What should we do?" Billie Joe asked sounding concerned with out situation.
"I have an idea, we were gonna go and get something to drink and that bar over there," Mike stated while pointing across the street. "would you two like to come with us? We'll be happy to buy you a drink. We can talk about how you two are going to get home too if you'd like."
"Really?" Melissa and I asked in unison, both of us wide eyed with amazement and happiness. "We'd love to go with you!" Melissa answered for both of us.
"Alrighty then, lets get on the bus and wait until everything is packed up so we can get a move on... .Hey Billie Joe, where's Tre? Have you seen him since the show ended?" Mike asked as he looked around the empty parking lot.
"No, but I'm sure he'll show up eventually, he always does." Billie Joe shrugged it off and walked onto the bus as the rest of us followed like sheep behind him in a line. "So, do you girls have names?"
"Yea, my name is Sarah and this is my friend Melissa." My voice was trembling but I tried to cover it up by not looking him in the eyes.
"Hellooooo everyone!!!!" screamed an excited Tre as he jumped onto the bus with his arms flailing in the air. "Hey, who are those girls?" he asked once he realized me and Melissa were standing there laughing at him from his previous entrance.
"Oh, this is Sarah" Mike answered pointing to me, "and this one here is Melissa. We're gonna take them with us to get a drink at that bar across the street. Their ride left without them and they live in Florida."
"Okie dokie then!" Tre half yelled "Can we please go now them? I'm really thirsty! I need a Cheech after that long show." He said while sitting down on the built in couch in the bus.
"Sure, lets go." Billie Joe said. And that was is. We were going to have a drink with Green Day!
