Blue Crush Is Our Name...And Don't You Fucking Wear It Out, chapter 17
FLASHBACK!!!!We did some stupid stuff, and I eventually passed out on the floor beside my SM. (I seem to have a tendancy to pass out on the floor. I should be a person that passes out on floors to see if they're comfy or not.) END OF FLASHBACK!!!
*Shelby's POV*
I woke up the next morning, on a bed somewhere. Someone must have moved me. I got up and walked downstairs to see Mike in the kitchen making coffee and everyone else must have gone home. I got up and walked in the kitchen behind Mike.
"Hey hun" I said, wrapping my arms around him.
"Hey, how didja sleep?"
"Not bad. The floor was pretty comfy, and so was the bed."
"Yea, I moved you up there because it's more comfy."
"Thanks alot. Is the coffee almost ready?"
"Yep"
"Ok good. I could really use some."
"I know...You and your coffee."
"Who doesn't like coffee? Oh, that reminds me. Are you guys going to Quebec anytime soon? Because there's an awesome coffee shop there that I discovered when I went there in grade 8. They have awesome Mocha Frappuchinos....I was really pissed though because I can remember I wanted a Double Chocolate one, but the fucking machine was broken."
"Hah. We'll probably be going there sometime soon. Man, you were obsessed with coffee even when you were young? Wow."
"Cool! It's called Café Dépôt or something like that. Anyways, sorry that was really random."
"No shit. Anyways, how are you feeling?"
"Actually, I'm feeling really good. I'd kill to play bass for awhile this afternoon. Stupid hospital, won't let you play instruments in there."
"No shit....the hospital is for sick people....dumbfuck"
"Hey! You stole my word! Dumbfuck is mine!"
"What can I say....it wore off on me."
"Ok fine. Can we have a jam session in a couple hours?"
"Yea sure..why not? You can call Ian, Jaymie and Kelsey and play for awhile downstairs too if you want."
"That would be good. We need to start playing again. It's been awhile...a few months I think."
"Yea, that's a long time I'm sure they've written some new shit too."
"Yea, I'm sure too."
"Coffee's done"
"Yay!"
We grabbed our coffee and went into the living room to flick the TV on.
"There's nothing on." Mike said.
"What the hell else is new. I'm sick of TV anyways."
"Wanna go jam downstairs now then?"
"Sure. I can call the rest of my band later. I'd rather just jam with you for awhile anyways. Learn some tricks from The Dirnt."
"Hah. Sure, that sounds good to me. You can use one of my basses because yours is at the hotel right?"
"Nope, I made the guys bring it to the hospital, because I wanted to play. But the nurses got pissed."
"Ha, ok I can get it for you. I'm guessing it's in the BMW still then."
"Ok, sure. Thanks Mikey."
"No prob."
He ran upstairs, and out to the garage to grab my bass out of the car. About 5 minutes later, he ran back down carrying two cases, one mine and one unfamiliar one.
"Here ya go." He said, handing me both cases.
"But Mike, I only have one bass."
"Well, now you have two."
"No way!"
I opened the second case to find a Fender Mike Dirnt Precision Bass, the white one with a red star, like his.
"No fucking way! I've wanted that exact bass since I was 13!"
"Yup, it's yours now."
"Thanks so much Mikey!" I said, jumping up and giving him a hug.
"No prob babe. Anything for you."
"Aww! That's so sweet! Ok, I'll shut up now. I wanna try it out."
So I grabbed the bass and threw the strap over my shoulder, plugged it in, and started to play Poprocks and Coke, one of my favorite songs to play.
"Dude! This bass is awesome! I love it! It has a sexy name too!" I said, walking over to Mike.
"Of course it has a sexy name. Look who the name belongs to?"
"Damn, feeling pretty stuck-up there Mikey?"
"Nope, but I'm sexy and you know you like it."
"Guilty as charged. Now shut up and kiss me."
We sat down on the couch and made out for awhile. I broke it after about 10 minutes and we just sat there for awhile.
"I love you Mikey. More than anyone in the whole world."
"I love you too hun. Hey, wanna go upstairs and eat? Because I think it's getting late. That and I'm hungry."
"Ok sure."
So we walked upstairs and ordered a pizza. 25 minutes later, the delivery guy dropped it off.
"Shit I'm hungry."
"Yea, me too."
We finished the pizza and went back downstairs to play for awhile.
"Wow, I'm suprised you can play this soon after what happened to you. Very impressive."
"What can I say, I'm an impressive person."
"Now look whose being stuck up?"
"Ahh shut up Mike."
"Hah. Do you wanna call the rest of your band? Because I'm sure they wanna play."
"Sure, have you got a phone down here?"
"Yup. Here ya go."
"Ok thanks Mike."
I took the phone from him and called Ian.
"Yo"
"Hey Ian, wanna come over to Mike's house and jam for awhile?"
"Hey dude! Sure, I'll get Jaymie and Kelsey and we'll be over in 10 minutes."
"Ok sounds good. See ya soon." I said before hanging up.
"Ok Mike, they're coming in ten minutes."
"Ok, we can set up some amps and stuff before they come."
"Ok, I can fix the drums too."
So we fixed all the stuff, and they arrived as soon as we finished.
"Hey guys." I said, seeing them walking downstairs.
"Hey Sheebs. We've got some new shit to play." Ian said.
"Cool, I've got some new shit to play some new shit on."
"What the fuck was that supposed to mean?"
"Open the case over there."
Ian walked over to the case and opened it.
"No fucking way! It's the bass you've wanted since...a bazillion years ago!"
"Yup, Mike gave it to me today!"
"That's so awesome! Ok let's jam."
"Wait, here's the new shit we worked on." said Ian, handing me some sheet music.
"Not bad, not bad. What do you think Mike?" I asked, handing him the sheets.
"Pretty damn good. I think you guys might be ready to start recording really soon."
"No way! That's fucking awesome!" I yelled.
"Yea, I'm gonna let you guys play for awhile, and then I'll call Billie and Adie to get their opinions."
"Ok, thanks Mikey."
"No prob hun."
"Awww!!" Ian said.
"Ian, shut up!"
After we talked for awhile, we finally started to play. We played for about 2 hours, and then Billie and Adie showed up.
"Hey guys, how are you feeling?" they asked.
"Great. It feels great to play again with the whole band." Ian said, looking at me.
"Yea, well for me, it's great to play at all."
"Yea, I'm sure. Mike told us that he thinks you guys are ready to go into the studio. Could you guys play a few songs, so we can figure out when you should go into the studio?"
"Sure no problem."
We played through our songs, and looked over at Billie, Adie and Mike.
"Well, I agree. You guys are definately ready." said Billie.
"I second that." said Adie.
"All right!" we all said.
"We'll book the studio for next week. Just to give you guys a bit of a break, and some time to practice." said Billie and Adie
"Thanks alot guys." I said.
"This calls for a celebration." Mike said.
"Wanna go out? It's on us." Billie and Adie asked.
"Sure, sounds great."
So we all got ready, and went to a small club for awhile. We didn't drink all that much tho because we were still feeling kinda shitty from the night before. We went home at maybe 2.
Mike and I walked inside, and went right to bed, because we were both dead tired. I crawled in bed beside Mike and moved closer to him.
"Night Mikey.I love ya." I said kissing him on the cheek.
"Night. Love you too." Mike said, before kissing me tenderly on the lips.
"I love you so much. You have no idea how much better my life has been since I met you. My life was absolute hell before, and you've made it so much better." I said crying.
"Aww babe, don't cry. I'll do anything for you." He said, wiping away my tears.
"I was so scared of Jimmy, it was awful. But I feel safe with you, and it's something I haven't felt in a long time."
"You don't have to worry about him anymore. That asshole is going to jail, and he'll never hurt you again."
"Thanks Mike. That means so much to me to hear someone say that."
"No problem babe. You should try to get some sleep. You'll probably feel better in the morning. If you need anything, just wake me up."
"Ok thanks babe."
I rolled over and he put his arms around me. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
