I Wanna Be the One Who Takes the Pain, chapter 1
Dear myself... diary sounds so girly
Everything is happening so fast I thought it would take forever for us to get this far. We've only lived in California for 2 years and we already have a record deal I can't believe we got signed to reprise all the best bands no-a-days are signed to that label like green day aww man if we got to tour with a band like that wow is all I would be able to say but I doubt they would want to tour with us. Our album almost ready to drop and our first single already out and guess what? People actually like us I thought that was a laugh and a half 4 small town kids from Muskoka living it big well not really, still not rolling in the big dough yet or maybe we won't ever but that doesn't matter cause making music is what we set out to do and we just got handed the full package that came with it. Bye, bye small ass apartment no more sharing a room with Evan and his smelly well he just smells should shower more I say lol. But I really can't wait for the album to be out I heard that we where recording in the same studio green day was for their new album I wish I saw them that would have been well lets just say I might have gone all pre-teenie on them I hope I wouldn't I think the conversation would be them saying hi and Evan talking for me while I just stand and stair and they get all creeped out, ok no that wouldn't happen I could be normal. Wow I wrote a lot tonight. But I haven't written anything but songs in forever but for now I think if I keep writing then it will just end up being rambling on about nothing because its 2 am and I'm tired so good-night... I can't believe I actually write a journal lol well night to me. ;
Jessica closed her journal and sat it beside her bed, she quickly changed into boxers and a tank top and turning off the small lamp on her nightstand. She crawled into bed turned on her disc man put it on low and fell asleep listening to The Ramones beat on the brat song.
"JESS WE GOT IT WE FUCKING GOT IT HELL YES!" Evan yelled while jumping on Jess's bed waking her up from her somewhat deep sleep.
"EVAN! God do you have to be such an annoying little ass"
"Well if you don't want to know the most wonderfulest news ever then so be it" with that Evan started to the door
"Wait ok what is the wonderfulest news ever I must know about?"
"We found out who we will be going on tour with I don't know how happy you will be with this... "
"WHAT WHAT WHO WITH WHO???!!!... EVAN SPILL IT ALREADY!"
"Oh just a small band by the name of uh what was it again... oh ya GREEN DAY!!! HAHAHA" Evan yelled and ran out of their room leaving her with her mouth hanging open in complete shock of what was just yelled from her band mate.
'Oh my god I can't fucking believe this I... I wow ok wow oh my god wow Ah I can't stop say wow ah ok, I can breath check to see if still breath maybe I'm dreaming or something yes dream I am most definitely dreaming'
"Evan, Evan come here"
Evan came back into the room carrying a bagel in his mouth with peanut butter now dripping from it onto your floor.
"Evan look what the hell your doing arg!"
Evan puts his hand under his bagel then bends down and tries to scoop up the peanut butter that's on the floor but is just smearing it around more.
"Just leave it ok, you are just making it worse," You say pushing Evan away from the mess. "I have a question though. Are we really going on tour with... with uh... " you couldn't even say because you still thought you were dreaming and that what just happened can't be real?
"Wagt git meen lay" Evan said while trying to swallow a massive mouth full of the last of his bagel.
"Ya ya we are wait no I'm dreaming remember"
"No you aren't I can punch ya if you want so you know you aren't that always works"
"No that's ok because... WERE GOING ON TOUR WITH GREEN DAY WHOOO HOOOO!!!" You screamed running out the room and down the hall, and you jumped all the stairs and landed on the living room couch right on top of an unsuspecting Ian.
"AHH what the hell woman! What are you doing?"
"I'm just rejoicing on the fact that WERE GOING ON TOUR WITH GREEN DAY WHOO HOOO!" You yelled and jumped off Ian and into the kitchen.
"Ah the fridge is calling my name" You opened the fridge and grabbed some peanut butter and jelly then to pieces of bread and put them in the toaster.
' Toast takes too long hum diddy hum hum lalala time go by faster I say'
The toast popped up and you grabbed them got a knife and smeared peanut butter and jelly on to opposite pieces then put them together and began eating and started to think about the now up coming tour with green day.
'Wow I really can't believe this even though I doubt a lot of people will be buying the tickets now to see us but who cares... I wonder if we will get to hang out with them? I wonder if they even know or have heard our stuff? I hope they don't hate us... oh well at least I can contain any girly teenie like jumping around stuff but they are my influence the reason I started music well the reason I started to like music... *sigh* this is going to be so awesome so freakin' awesome'
*Ring, Ring*
"Jess can you get that!"
*Ring, Ring*
"Jess??? Phone!!"
*Ring, Ring*
"Oh ya sorry I was uh" you pick up the phone. " Uh hello"
"Hello Jessica, has Evan informed you of the tour I hope he has well you all to come my office building meet with the band and such we are having a meeting discussing the tour... ok well see you in 20 minutes don't be late please, bye"
"Uh... bye" you said bit there was already a dial tone and you hung up the phone and heading into the living room to tell the others.
"You guys get ready we have to go to Mitch's office we have to have some tour meeting thingy he wants us there in 2o minutes and we can't be late" you say to Ian, Evan and Matt who actually took their eyes off the TV to listen to what you where saying.
"Ok, ok well lets go now"
"I'm not ready just keep doing whatever it was you were before be down in 10, ok?"
"Ya right you shower in dressed in 10 minutes ok we gotta bet on this one" Matt said with a sly look on his face.
"I bet I will be ok 20 bucks I will ok see you in 10 minutes boys"
You ran upstairs straight to the shower you stripped off your clothes and jumped into the shower washed you hair and body. Then climbed out wrapping a towel around your head and then using another to dry yourself off then wrapping around your body. You went and flossed, brushed and mouth washed your mouth. You then went into your room grabbed random clean clothes from you basket got dressed grabbed your shoes and ran down stairs all in 8 minutes.
"HA! See that I was less then 10 so that that ok lets go dammit... oh wait shoes on"
You put your shoes on while Ian, Evan and Matt went out and got in the truck.
You ran out and got in the driver seat and pulled out of the driveway heading off towards the LA office for reprise.
15 minutes later
"Shit, shit we are late god damn slow old people shouldn't be fucking driving ahh I said we wouldn't be late 5 minutes 5 fucking minutes he's gonna shoot us or something along the line of pain" You ramble on while walking towards Mitch's office.
"Well look who finally showed up" Mitch snarled.
"Sorry blame the damn old lady who should drive like my grandma cause if she did we would have been here 5 minutes ago... *stupid old bat*" you mutter.
You didn't notice the three members of green day sitting along with other people who where probably tour managers and such they were all looking at you though and when you realized everyone was sitting down but you, you pulled up a chair and sat down beside Matt at the very end of the table across from Mike.
"So let's get started shall we" Mitch stated " I guess we should start with the when we should start and how long is this going to be and where"
"No really" you mumble and only Matt and Mike hear you both smirking at your comment.
"Ok so I think August is a good time to start don't you? And we should start with an all-American tour"
"Or a non-all American tour you said our first tour would contain some what of a home base so there should be some Canadian dates to" Ian Spoke up speaking your mind he just said it nicer then you would have because you hated Mitch and always had some way of showing it.
"Oh right I guess we could do that maybe one or two Canadian shows" Mitch replied snobbishly
"I vote for at least seven or eight I think if we want support from our own country is would be best to go their and enlarge that we care about our fans there to you know" You implied.
"Sure whatever you want cause you make all the big dictions don't you" Mitch said trying to glare you down but it never worked on you just got you more mad and talk back he obviously wanted you to look bad and like a snot in front of everyone but he just end up making himself look bad.
"Well if you want I'm sure I could do a better job then you, anyways I think we should do at least six Canadian shows, I'm sorry if I like my country enough to want to tour there I don't care when it starts or ends so I'm leaving, have fun the air in here is a bit to toxic for me I'm not a business person my mind can't handle all the garbage that goes on and stepping on others to get places sorry Mitch but I hate you, you hate me everyone knows it so do what ever the fuck you want just remember you aren't in-charge of me, the band or any real dictions your just hear to fill in so basically you're a nothing to me and everyone else so I may sound like a bitch but its not my fault your such a conceded asshole" with that you walked out the door, down the hall and into the bathroom.
"Well I told you she was a snotty little bitch didn't I she thinks she can run anyone and is better then us all just because she got out of her little crap town and" Mitch started ranting on but was interrupted by a Slam on the desk and a furious looking three band members of last crusade.
"WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!" Evan started
"YOU ARE A FUCKING PRICK YOU KNOW THAT JESS IS A TEN TIMES BETTER PERSON THEN YOU AND EVERYONE WHO KNOWS HER KNOW IT, SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN'T THINK SO," Ian screamed at Mitch
"IF YOU EVER FUCKING SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HER AGAIN I RING YOU FUCKING NECK" Matt threatened
"Well I do believe this meeting is over I will call you uh Evan, Matt, Ian your number if you must?" Rob asked
"Oh here" Evan grabbed a piece of paper and pen from Mitch and wrote down their home number.
"Oh and Mitch call us when Mr. Thompson is back we would like to deal with him directly thank you" Rob stated to Mitch
Everyone filed out of the boardroom except Mitch to find Jessica sitting down the hall with her legs pulled up to her chest on a chair. Evan walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"If only I could get away with murder eh?" Jess responded
"Ha ya if only, come on we are done here don't worry we gave him a piece of our mind his mouth might still be touching the floor" Evan replied
"You mean you punched him?"
"No"
"Damn well it was worth a shot maybe next time"
"There won't be a next time I wont be doing business with Mitch again" Rob came over and added himself into the conversation
"Oh so you mean were not coming on the tour then" Jess said putting her head down trying to hide her disappointment.
" Oh no, no, no you are but he's just not going to be apart of it"
"Really thank you this is wow uh... " Jess stammered.
"Oh its no problem the guys listened to your stuff and liked it, plus you seem like a alright bunch so I will be calling you when we have everything all worked out ok"
"Ok thanks again" Jessica says while shaking Rob's hand.
