Life In Paradise, chapter 8
he kissed me on my neck. This tickled me a little, but I didn’t want to laugh because it would ruin the moment. I started singing “Best Thing In Town� in my head. The corners of my lips went up and my eyes closed. This was love. And at that moment, I actually realized what love felt like.
The next morning, we got a call from the hospital, them asking to send a nurse over, but we didn’t agree. We wanted to spend the day together. We went down to the beach and dived in the cold water. We wanted to have the Time Of Our Lives. He took me to the studio, and I watched them record a few songs. Then they recorded “Best Thing In Town� on their cd. Wow, I didn’t know that he was gonna put it on the album. But while they were recording our song, this one executive came up to me, trying to lead me out of the room. Billie signaled me to go. I didn’t know what this was all about, but she took me down the hall to another studio room, gave me my guitar and my song book. She seated me down next to the mic and i saw Billie Joe walk in. He came next to me. “I want you to record that song that you wrote about me.�
“Really?� I asked.
“Yeah.� he said walking out. I tuned my guitar and started the opening note. But I screwed up.
“Sorry, sorry. Hold on!� I said.
“It’s okay, just take your time.� Billie said pressing the little button thing to talk to me. I started again, and started to sing, “this time he has no-where to go. He’s all alone in his mind not dreaming or seeing anything in site. The proof that he was dead inside in the darkness of his dreams...� (Author’s Note:Good lyrics, right! I know, I made them up.) “BREAK NOW into the fall of the earthquake down to the center of the earth...� Damnit i hit the worng note again, “sorry.� I said apologizing. I started again from where I left off and I didn’t mess up this time. I was sweating and so nervous, but I just closed my eyes, and the words just came out of my mouth.
When we were done, the song was on my very own cd. I took copies home and gave one to Hazel, one to Tiff, and one to Danny. They were mad that I did this without them, but also happy that I actually got to record a song on a cd.
The next morning, I got a call from the executive, saying that she wanted me in there again today, with my band.
“OH MY GOD!!! YOU’RE KIDDING ME?� I screamed into the phone. Shit man, this was big. I didn’t even hang up the phone, ran over to Billie, who was still sleeping peacefully, and jumped on the bed.
“I’M GOING INTO THE RECORDING STUDIO TODAY!!!� I screamed at him. This surely woke him up. He didn’t understand what was going on at first, but I explained it to him, screaming my lungs out. I had to take deep breathes because of my breathing problem. This was the shit! I was going to record a record (album)! I phoned Hazel and Tiff, who phoned Daniella and we were so excited. We all met down there at the doors, jumping up and down for joy. This was the biggest thing that happened in my life since I was born (well, and Billie Joe!) :)
we recorded twelve songs in one day. We still had about five more to go, but it was getting late. Billie picked me up and I jumped into the car. I was so happy. I pulled his face closer and kissed him on the lips. We played my song that I recorded yesterday. We opened up all the windows and blasted the radio! I climbed out of the window and was waving to all the people I saw walking by. Billie pulled me back into the car and kissed my cheek. This was the happiest day of my life and tomorrow would be better because we would get the album finished and it would then go the lable to see if they wanted to release it. That night we broke out the wine, went to the warehouse and had a party. And it was the first time that I tried drugs. I didn’t like it. Stay off that kids!
