The Dark Alley Way, chapter 1
Okay, so I’m sitting at my computer right now, and looking up Green Day stuff on the web. Then I find this website called www.geekstinkbreath.net and was looking around for places where I could submit my story. Then I see this “made up stories� thing-ee and click on it. I though “no-one has to know that this was a true story, so what the hell?�
Then I start typing:
Around 1990, I was an eighteen year old model, and had this actor boyfriend, Shaun Sipos. One night, I was all by my lonesome, because Shaun had gone out to get Chinese Food! Then there was a knock on the door, so I naturally answered it. It was the cops for some reason. I let them in and they sat me down and told me the worst news. They quietly explained that there was a road rage accident and Shaun had got killed in a car accident. Well, I was in such a state of shock that I automatically burst out in tears. I went nuts. I totally trashed the whole apartment. I threw the t.v. out the window, followed by the coffee table glass. Then I ran out of there so fast that I couldn’t breathe. I ran for tow blocks until I came to this dark alley way I decided to take a detour in there. I went out of the light where no-one could see me. As I was walking deeper into the alley, I tripped over something, or someone!
“Hey!� the strange voice shouted.
“Whose there?� I asked moving back into the light. I leaned up against the wall. A dark figure came into the light. It was a man. He had green hair, and green stoner eyes. He was wearing a black sports jacket and no pants, just boxers. He looked like some sort of bum! “Who the hell are you?� I asked.
“Just call me Billie Joe.� Billie Joe answered. He took my hand, which I quickly took back the instant he touched me. “Come on, it’s better in the dark.� he said taking my hand again. I don’t know why I trusted him to take me into the dark alley way, where no-one could hear me scream, but I guess I just so devastated that I didn’t care anymore. Plus, he might of been a bum, but he didn’t look like the raping type.
So he took me down the alley way, way in the back against the wall. He sat down in the corner and pulled me down beside him. “So why did you come down to this alley way?� he asked, opening a beer bottle and lighting up a cigarette.
“Why is it so important for you to know?� I snapped back. But he just didn’t answer. I could tell that he was looking at me in the trying-to-read-my-mind look. But I sighed and answered his question: “my boyfriend, um...well..he..he...died in a car accident earlier today!� I said, starting to tear.
“Wow! I guess that hit you over the head.� he said.
ME“Well have some sympathy.�
“Sorry.� he said.
ME“Okay, what are you doing down here?�
BJ“I live here.� he said.
ME“Really, you don’t look like you live here.�
BJ“Why is that?�
ME“Because you’re wearing a sports jacket, and can actually afford beer and cigarettes.�
“Some guy walked by here and gave them to me.�
“Oh come on! Well Billie Joe, let me tell you that I can spot out bullshit from a blimp in a fog storm. You’re gonna have to do better than that. No I told you the painful truth about why I’m here.�
“Alright, it might not seem as bad as why you’re here, but my girlfriend dumped me last week, so I’ve been hanging around here. It’s the only quiet place in Berekly.�
“Oh.� was all I could come up with. Sure, it wasn’t that painful, but I guess it still meant something to him. “Well I’m very sorry that you’ve lived in this alley way for a week.� I said and started to laugh.
Okay, so about five hours pass, we were drunk sharing the secrets of our personal lives. Talking about everything that could be imagined, but he never told me what he did for a living. So we were talking about our significant others for about twenty minutes. I told him how much I loved Shaun and was planning out our wedding and stuff like that.
“So you really loved him that much, uh?�
“Yeah.� then, all of a sudden, Billie Joe leaned over and kissed me. Well I quickly pulled away. How could someone just sit there and listen to me talk about how much I loved Shaun and then kiss me? Shallow.
“What?�
“I...I love Shaun, Billie Joe.�
“Yeah, but is he here right now.�
Seeing as how I was drunk, at the time, he had a good point. So, he kissed me again and the next thing I know, we are back at my trashed apartment, well...I think you know how it goes.
The next morning, I woke up and noticed a note on my pillow, but no Billie Joe. The note read:
Dear Whats-your-name,
I had to go, but I think you could understand. At 7:30, turn on the t.v. and watch Mtv!
Love,
-BJ-
It was 7:32, so I turned on the t.v. and I was amazed at what I saw. It was Billie Joe doing an interview with two other guys sitting next to him. It turns out that he was (and still is) in a band called Green Day. Who’d a thought?
