Unrecorded Love, chapter 1
The club was crowded with people. I stood on stage. Ready to play my first song. It was really weird standing there, cause I never thought that I would get to play my music for somebody, I just had writing and making songs as a hobby. Then all of a sudden I got a contract. The club "Poisson".
There where people of all the stereotypes. Punks, Goths, preps and geeks. I loved it. Everybody was looking at me. I started to slam on my guitar. People were dancing to the rhythm. They liked it. I had gotten help from this drummer called Tre. He was really good. I started singing and my voice bounced at the walls, filling the room with a good feeling.
"Hey, you thought I would cry.
That I would lay down to die!
But you where so fucking wrong.
You made me strong!
And now that you are gone,
I can finally live again
Fucker you can't destroy me.
It something that you just couldn't see.
All that you ever did wrong,
turned in to this song.
Hey, you thought that I would love you.
And that I would beg you to.
Retard I never wanted to live,
with somebody who never want to give.
And you thought that you where so fucking active!
I faked it every time.
Fucker you can't destroy me.
It's something that you couldn't see.
All that you ever did wrong
turned in to this song."
People where loving me. They where jumping around on the floor. I did my guitar solo perfect. And Tre ruled on the drums. And then the song ended. Everybody was clapping and screaming hysterical. They were screaming for more, but I just walked of stage. It was my first gig. I celebrated by getting a drink in the bar. The waiter said that it was on the house and winked at me. He probably knew that I was to young. I was 16 years old, but the manager said I could play in the club anyway.
I got a lot of drinks that night. Every guy in the club wanted to give me a drink. I let them. I got everything from fancy drinks to plain beers. By the end of the night I was so drunk that I didn't know where I was. A guy came up to me and asked if I wanted a drink. He had black hair and amazingly green eyes. I said yes.
"What do you want?" he said and I knew that he was a singer.
His voice was so amazing.
"A plain beer will do!" I laughed.
I drank it at once.
"I'm Billie Joe, by the way..." he said and reached his hand out.
"I'm Maria!" I said and shook it.
Then suddenly the room started to spin and I lost hold of the ground. I fell backwards in to some guy's arms.
"Are you okay?" he asked and got me back on my feet. I nodded. My head hurt so bad.
"You need some air!" Billie said and followed me out with the other guy right behind.
The stars were shining incredibly bright this night. Brighter than I had ever seen them.
"I'm Mike!" the guy said and reached his hand out.
I shook it.
"Me and Billie got a band that's called Green Day." I tried to smile, I really did, but I wanted to puke so bad. I went out into the bushes near by and barfed my guts out.
I went back and surprisingly, Mike and Billie were still there.
"Sorry! To much to drink!" I said and tried to laugh it of. I was so ashamed. They just smiled.
"No wonder, every guy in the club wanted to buy you a drink. Not to mention get you to a hotel!" Billie said and gave me a bottle of water.
"You rocked the stage Maria! It was so awesome!" Mike said and took the bottle when I went in to the bushes again.
"Who...were...the drummer?" Billie asked and looked at his shoes.
"You meen Tre?" I said when I got out of the bush.
"The manager of the club introduced him to me. Said that he'd be perfect as a drummer to my songs. He's my best friend now. A wee bit crazy though." Billie still looked at his shoes.
Mike rolled his eyes.
"Can we meet him? We need a drummer for our band!" he said and stamped Billie on the foot.
"OUCH! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Billie screamed and threw a punch at Mike which he avoided.
Mike whispered something in Billie's ear which made Billie turn red.
I looked confused at them, but nodded at Mike's question and lead them into the bar again.
Tre were sitting at a table, flirting with a blonde girl with fake boobs.
"Tre? Hi baby!" I said and sat down on Tre's lap and kissed him.
The girl left with a angry look on her face and mumbled something that sounded like "asshole".
Tre pushed me of his lap. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" he yelled and gave me a look that could have killed me(if looks could kill).
Mike and Billie laughed with me.
"This is Billie and Mike! They have a band called Green Day." I said and Mike and Tre shook hands.
Billie just raised his hand. "You're welcome to join me. Thanks to Maria I don't have anything to do later." He gave me another angry look as Mike and Billie sat down at our table in a corner of the club.
Billie sat next to me.
He looked kind of sad. "We need a drummer!" Mike said and started talking about music and Green Day with Tre.
"So what kind of music do you play Billie?" I asked and tried to get Billie out of his mute-state.
"What?" He said and looked right into my eyes.
A shiver went through my body. His eyes were so green.
"What kind of music does Green Day play?" I repeated.
"Oh, a lot of punk, really. I write the songs." he said and ordered a drink.
He looked at me asking if I wanted anything.
I nodded.
"Give me a beer!" I said and crept a little bit closer to him.
He was so cute. I wanted to know him better.
"How old are you really?" He said.
Did he come closer too?
"Ehm..I'm...16." I said and looked down.
"I knew you weren't old enough. The waiter winked at you so funny."
I moved a bit away.
"I'm 18" he said and followed me.
It was my turn to look down. My face got all red. He lay his arm around my shoulders.
Mike and Tre were still talking.
"Billie?" I said and looked at him. He looked back.
"I was wondering..." I didn't get to finish my sentence.
Billie kissed me on the mouth. I blushed. My head felt like a fried tomato.
"MARIA!" I hear Tre yell.
"So it's okay if you betray me, but I can't betray you?" He smiled and winked at me.
Mike laughed.
"I need some air! I said and ran out of the club.
Billie came after me.
"Maria! Wait!" he said and grabbed my arm.
"Let go of me!" I said and try to get out of his tight grip around my wrist.
It didn't work.
He dragged me closer and closer until He held around me. I rested my head upon his chest. I could hear his heart beat very fast.
"Why did you kiss me?" I said and a tear fell from my eye.
"Because I like you!" He said.
"That was why I was so quiet at first. I liked you from the moment I saw you on stage. I don't usually do like that but..." I looked up at him.
His green eyes looked sort of sad.
"I can't play here anymore. Now that you got Tre he'll be very busy." Billie looked down at the ground, up in the sky and then back at me.
"It would be a pity to hide such a good talent," he said and kissed me again. "Come and watch us practice this week." He said and winked at me.
"I must get going." I said.
"Ok, see you later then!"
I was standing outside Billie's house. Ringing the doorbell. He opened the door and smiled at me.
"You came!" He said and let me inside. He led me down in the basement where they had everything a band need. I sat on the couch.
"Have you written anything lately?" Billie asked me while he joined me on the couch. Mike and Tre weren't there yet.
"Well I wrote something last night.." I said and looked down.
"Can I hear it?" he said and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I took Billie's guitar in my hands and started playing.
"I don't know.
Your confusing me so.
Maybe this isn't meant to be.
Maybe I should go away.
Cause I know that you won't stay!
Someday you'll be gone.
And I can't do anything about it.
A kiss from you is heaven.
Anything from you is like a dream.
You take me up, high above.
Unrecorded Love.
I have no idea.
What to do now.
After I met you my life has been such a blur.
Maybe I should leave.
Give you some other alternative.
Cause I know you won't be with me forever.
And then I will cry my eyes out.
A kiss from you is heaven.
Anything from you is like a dream.
You take me up, high above.
Unrecorded Love.
Maybe I should have ran away,
The moment that I met you.
But something held me back.
Maybe your smile,
Maybe your green eyes.
Maybe your laugh.
But I am stuck with you now.
A kiss from you is heaven.
Anything from you is like a dream.
You take me up, high above.
Unrecorded Love.
A kiss from you is heaven.
Anything from you is like a dream.
You take me up, high above.
Unrecorded Love.
I stopped. Billie clapped.
"I love it!" Billie said. Mike and Tre stumbled down the stairs.
"Did we miss anything?" Mike laughed, winking at Billie and me.
Both of us turned red.
"Ready for some serious practice boys?" Tre laughed and jumped behind the drum set.
"Well we rehearsed this song I wrote," Billie said smiling at me.
"It's for you!" He whispered in my ear.
"She, she screams in silence, a sullen riot penetrating through her mind." Billie started.
He was such a great singer. I loved the song. When they were finished I started to cry. Billie ran up to me and took my hands in his.
"Come" Mike said and pushed Tre out of the door!
"HEY" WAIT I WANT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!" Tre yelled when Mike closed the door.
"What's wrong?" Billie said to me.
"It's the song. I love it and your such a good singer, and when you get all rich and famous you'll forget all about me!" I cried.
Billie sat down next to me and held around me.
"I won't, trust me!" He said and kissed me.
We sat like that along time. Billie's arms around me felt so safe.
I wanted to stay like that forever, but then Tre came in and interrupted.
"Are you lovebirds done having sex already?" He said and sat behind the drums. I giggled and looked at Billie.
I knew he wasn't going to forget me. Even though he got famous.
