All That You Can't Leave Behind, chapter 1
"The bathroom floors have repulsive things on them." Cherry said aloud while she sat in on of the bathroom stalls. She heard the echo of music coming from the stadium. She just went to the bathroom to get a chance to breathe in air that wasn't contaminated with the smell of sweat, unfortunately the smell of piss as worse.
She looked up from her hands when she heard someone humming. The sound of shoes against the squeaky floor made her tense. It wasn't the sound of a girl humming... "Shit... I'm in the guys' bathroom." She grumbled while flushing the toilet. She unlocked the stall still talking to herself.
"Uh, you do realize this is the men's bathroom right?" she looked up and smiled.
"Yeah." She proceeded to wash her hands.
"So why did you come in then?"
"Well, I just realized that it was when you came in." she smiled.
"by the way I'm-"
"I know who you are." She chuckled.
"Right." He laughed nervously.
"I'm Cherry Apple." She smiled and held out her hand.
"Mike Dirnt at your service." He bowed and kissed her hand.
"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you." She sat on the counter, not thinking of the dirt on it.
"So when are you due up on stage?" she asked half interest and half just to make conversation.
"five minutes."
"Cool." She started to pick at her jeans. They talked for a bit longer. Mike started to like this girl more and more each second and Cherry felt the same.
"Well, I have to get going." Mike jumped off the counter.
"Oh shit my friend is probably wondering where I am!" she jumped off the counter too. "well, it was nice talking to you, bye."
She left Mike in the bathroom and pushed threw the crowd to fined Elli. She found Elli being crushed in the front row against the fence thing dividing them from the stage. Cherry pulled her onto her feet, the lights dimmed. Everyone started cheering when the lights came back on. Billie, Mike and Tre ran up on stage and started the first chords to American Idiot.
The whole time cherry was screaming in her mind for Mike to notice her. Only near the end did Mike look at her, although while she wasn't watching him he glanced at her, he smiled at her.
After the show Elli and cherry sat on the dumpster at the back of the stadium. They both had a bottle of whisky in there hands.
The back door opened. Cherry smiled and hopped off of the dumpster to greet Mike who had come out to get some air. He looked up and smiled "hi!"
"Hi!" she waved "that's my friend Elli by the way."
"Hi." He waved to Elli then directed his attention back to cherry "want to come hang out with me and the guys?"
"Love to!" she linked arms with Mike and waved Elli over. When she caught up with them they went inside.
"Hey guys this is Elli and Cherry." Mike introduced them to Billie and Tre. "Oh and this is Jade and Abby by the way." Cherry looked at Jade then at Abby, they seemed nice. Jade had long cotton candy pink hair with a black shirt and jeans, Abby had lots of eyeliner and orange hair.
"SIT SIT!!" Tre yelled and scooted over a bit. Elli jumped beside him on the couch. Cherry sat on the floor next to Abby and Mike.
