Whatever Happened To Whatsername?, chapter 4
I got my mobile out of my bag and dialled the number of my brother to see where he was. But when I dialled I got the message: "Hello! You have insufficient funds to make this call! Please visit a Telstra outlet to recharge!"
I furiously hung up and shoved the phone into my pocket. I kept walking, I don't know where I was going, but I kept walking, not looking where I was going, I bumped into someone.
"Watch were your going!" I said to the stranger.
"Excuse me?" the stranger replied.
"You were in my way!" I said and continued walking. I could hear footsteps behind me, so I started walking faster. The footsteps were moving faster, so I began a run slowly, they began a slow run, and I kept increasing my speed until I was at a full sprint, I turned around and saw someone I had seen on posters before, but I couldn't quite remember who it was.
The face seemed so familiar, I had seen it sometime last week, it was on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't get it out.
"What's wrong?" said the stranger.
"Too many things" I replied.
"Well, just tell me one thing."
"Hmm... Well my mother has just died, and I have no idea where my twin brother is."
"What about your father?" he asked.
"I have no idea where he is, what he's doing, and I don't really give a shit about him."
"You should come with me, I will take you some place safe," the stranger said.
"Ok then, as long as it's away from here" I replied.
So I got in the car with the stranger, knowing that I shouldn't take rides from strangers, but I didn't care anymore, nothing could be worse than what already had happened to me.
In the car I started praying to St. Jimmy, hoping that Sam would be alright, dad would stay away, and mum would rest in peace, I didn't pray for myself because I didn't really care anymore, nobody did.
The car was approaching a large motel, and when we got closer, my heart started beating faster, it was a Green Day motel! I'd heard many marvellous things about them, and not to mention the fact that Green Day was my favourite band, then it all came clear, the stranger driving the car I was in, was no other then Mike Dirnt!
The car pulled up just outside the motel, and Mike stopped the car, he gave me a few pieces of paper and I jumped out of the car.
"Just show these to the lady at reception, she will sort you out" Mike said.
"Thank you very much!" I said excitedly.
"Oh, and your brother's here too," Mike said and drove off.
How did he know who my brother was? I was utterly confused, and tired, so I went into reception, gave the lady the paper and she gave me some room keys and pointed me in the right direction.
I opened the door to the luxurious room; it had a TV, spa, shower, waterbed and a good view into the hills.
This was great, the greatest feeling I had ever had in my life. I heard the door creak open behind me, I turned around, but all I could see was a dark shadowy figure approaching me.
My heart started beating faster and I got scared again, it ruined my moment!
