Uptight, chapter 2
The excitement of the crowd made me forget about being nervous. I jumped on top of the amp sitting in the front middle of the stage. I stood there frowning at the crowd as practiced I waited until I was sure Erin and Jack were ready and then I began to play the opening chords to Dumbfound. I couldn't see the crowd very well past the hot lights blazing down at my face but by the sound of them they hadn't regretted paying to see us. We played song after song and jumped and danced exactly how we practiced on cue.
"Just before I go I want you to all know that we would not be up here in front of you on this exact fucking stage without the inspiration Green Day has given us."
With this as our closing statement we marched off stage and crashed on the nearest couch.
"I'm stuck. Pass me my drumstick." Said Erin
"Get it yourself you lazy ass." Replied a very tired Jack
"I think we did a pretty fucking good job out there guys! We might even be asked back!" I said just letting the past 2 hours sink in.
"Haha I doubt it. That skinny toothpick guy is pretty pissed off with us." Said Jack.
"It was only 3 chairs and a bunch of smashed fruits. It's not like anyone was gonna eat any of it anyway." Erin Said.
We all let ourselves get swallowed into the big couch as we reflected the past 2 hours.
"Damn good job guys!" Said a somewhat familiar voice.
"Thanks!" I said very sleepily "hey where have I heard that voice before... .. Fuck! everyday on my ipod!"
I spun around so fast I smacked Erin in the face.
"What the hell are you doing here!? I mean not that it's bad! Actually it's good!! No no it's great!"
"Who the fuck are you talking to Caitlyn!?" asked a very annoyed Erin.
I tried stuttering it out but I couldn't make a noise. Erin got up and looked in the direction my eyes were glued to.
"Fuck... ." Erin was just as excited and surprised as I was to see Billie, Tre and Mike standing right in front of us.
Jack turned around to see who we were looking at.
"Hey that's Green Day... "
"No it's Brittany Spears... . God sometimes I wonder how dumb you really are." I said
"Hey guys, as I said great job! We thought we should come and meet you guys since apparently we were such a great influence to you. Fuck you make our songs sound like shit" said Billie Joe
"Uhhh yeah sure... . Like that would ever happen" I had finally managed to say something.
"So you guys wan't anything like a drink, Tre could go get something from the bar for you if you wanted." Offered Billie
"No I won- OWWW what the fuck was that for!" said Tre as Billie punched him in the stomach.
"So you want anything?"
"Nah I'm fine" both me and erin said.
"Well since you offered I'll have whatever's on tap." said Jack
Tre slowly walked out the door to get Jack his drink giving Billie a very dirty look as he walked past him.
"I'mmm uh gonna go help Tre get the drinks." Said a very excited Erin. I knew she must have been as excited and surprised as I was and probably wanted to talk to Tre alone as badly as I wanted to talk to Billie.
"Hey Jack, uh why don't you go ask Mike to show you something on the bass or something?" I said.
"But I haven't gotten my drink yet... " whined Jack.
I shot him a fuck off look and he obeyed.
"Yes!" I thought. "Finally alone with Billie"
"Just before I go I want you to all know that we would not be up here in front of you on this exact fucking stage without the inspiration Green Day has given us."
