A Great Story, chapter 1
I was so happy that my birthday was in a couple days. On my birthday, I would get my liscense (YAY!) and I could go to the Green Day concert with out having my mom and dad take me. I couldn't wait. The entire day I just sat in my room fantisizing about how the concert would turn out. I had hopes that, somehow, me and my friend, Kim, would get to meet Green Day. But in my mind, I knew it would never happen. Nothing cool ever happens to me.
*The Day of the Concert*
I woke up to the most annoying buzzing sound in the world (My alarm). I hated waking up early but I had to go to school... at least it was Friday, and I just remembered that I was gonna see Green Day tonight! I was so excited. I put on some old tshirt and pants. When I got home, I was gonna put on the clothes that I was gonna wear to the concert. I didn't want anything unexpected to happen to them so I wasn't going to wear them to school. I went downstairs to eat breakfast and said good morning to my mom. I didn't even bother saying it to my brother because he is just an asshole and he would probably act like an idiot if I talked to him. So I poured some LIFE into my bowl and ate as quickly as I could. I wanted to get to school early so I could talk to Kim about the concert.
I ran out the door and started to walk. I couldn't stop thinking about the concert. I didn't even realize where I was going because I was so deep in thought. I almost ran into a telephone pole a couple of times.
*At School*
I spotted Kim and asked her if she was excited about the concert. "We are going to see the best band in the world and you actually have to ask me if I am excited or not?! Of course I am excited! Who wouldn't be?" "It's gonna be so much fun" I replied. Then the bell rang for us to get into class.
The entire day, I didn't listen to anyone. I was in a daze. I just couldn't get over the fact that I was gonna see Green Day that night.
Yes! School was finally over and I could go home and get ready to go to the concert.
*At home*
I was in my room listening to International Superhits and putting on my outfit for the concert. I was gonna wear a green top with some black pants. I put on my black eyeliner and mascara and got ready to call Kim. " Hey Kim. What time should I pick you up? We have to get there early so we can get near the front." "Uh, how 'bout now? I'm ready. Are you?" "Yeah. Okay. I will be there in like five minutes. Bye." "See ya."
*At the concert*
"Oh my god, this is gonna be so cool." I said while everyone was waiting patiently for Green Day to come out. " Yeah I know." Kim replied.
Tre came out first and then Billie Joe and Mike came out. "How the fuck is everyone doin' tonight?" Billie Joe asked. The entire crowd screamed and no one could tell what we were saying. The band started off with American Idiot and then went on to do Good Riddance, Hitchin a Ride, Do Da Da, Wake Me Up When September Ends, Warning and a few more off their new album. The crowd was crazy. Everyone was crowd surfing and there was mosh pits everywhere. People were so out of control that it was kind of scary for a second there, but everything was fine.
After the concert, me and Kim waited for a while to see if we could catch the guys as they were leaving. It seemed like we were waiting there for days, but it really wasn't that long. Finally, I spotted them. I huge grin crawled onto my face and I tapped Kim on the shoulder and pointed to the band. We were jumping up and down like crazy! "Hi." Tre said as he and the guys walked up to us. Kim and I froze, but i managed to get a "Hello" back to him. Kim and I just stared at Billie Joe, Mike and Tre. We were paralyzed. I couldn't beleive that I was meeting Green Day. "Are you okay?" Billie Joe asked us. We finally broke out of the trance. " Uh yeah we're fine." we replied together. We couldn't get the smiles of of our faces. I bet we looked like losers... (but remember there's nothing wrong with being a loser, it just depends on how good you are at it). Mike said "You guys wanna come and hang out with us?" Our jaws dropped. Kim and I looked at each other then screamed out "Of course!" We couldn't beleive it! "Okay then, let's go." Tre said. We all piled into the limo. I sat in between Tre and Billie Joe while Kim sat on the end, next to Mike. "Where are we going?" I asked curiously. "We're going to our hotel," Billie Joe said with a smile, "Is that okay?" "Yeah, sure, it's fine with me," I replied.
*At the Hotel*
"So here's our room," Mike said opening the door to us. We walked in and sat on the couch. Tre threw us all a beer and then he came over and sat down. "So," Billie Joe said looking at me and Kim, "What are your names?" "I'm Kim." "And my name is Mallory," I said. "Cool. Nice name," he said looking at me. "Thanks," I replied. I smiled. We all just sat there and talked and got drunk. We were sitting there for a while. "Well, I can't beleive I am saying this, but i think we better get going. It's really late and my parents are probably wondering where I am." I said sadly. "No, you guys can't leave. We are all too drunk. None of us can drive." said Mike, "I guess you'll have to stay here tonight and go home in the morning." "Okay, fine " Kim and I said together, "But where will we sleep?" "Hmm... there are only three beds, so me and Tre will sleep out here on the couch, Billie Joe will sleep in his bed, and you guys will sleep in the other two beds. Is that okay with everyone?" Mike asked. it was fine with everyone. We all went to bed because it was like 4 a.m.
In the middle of the night I woke up. I saw my door open and someone lay down next to me. I pretended I was asleep and turned around so I could see who it was. It was Billie Joe! I didn't say anything. I figured that I would ask him in the morning, I was too tired. He laid down softly and wrapped his arms around me, then we both fell asleep.
*In the morning*
I woke up with Billie Joe's arms still wrapped around me. Surprisingly, I didn't have a hang over. I got up slowly trying not to wake him up but my efforts failed. "Huh?" he said opening his eyes, "oh". "How come you came in my room last night?" I asked him. "I wanted to see how you were doing.And Cause... I like you," he replied softly. Oh my god! Billie Joe likes, me?! "Oh" I said suprised. He got up and walked over to me. We stared into eachother's eyes. We stood there for a few minutes and then he leaned in for a kiss. I didn't pull away. We made out for a few minutes then he stopped and then sat on the bed. "What?" I asked. "Nothing," he said, "it's just that I can never have a serious relationship with anybody. I am almost always on the road." "Well that's okay. Can't we just see how it works out?" I asked. " Yeah I'd love that." he replied with a grin. We went back to kissing and then went out to the kitchen to eat breakfast. Luckily, no one was up yet so no one saw us come out of the same room.
*That Afternoon*
"Well, I guess we better get going." I said with a frown. Me and Billie Joe exchanged phone numbers while no one was looking. We wanted to keep what had happened a secret for now. Kim and I left.
"Wasn't that awesome?" Kim asked as we stepped out into the hall way. "Yeah, I know. I still can't beleive it." I replied.
Billie Joe and I kept in touch and saw eachother A LOT (if you know what I mean). But things didn't work out so well so we decided to break it off. We still see each other, but of course, just as friends. I have become good friends with Mike and Tre too. I go to a lot of their concerts (and of course I always get backstage passes). It's been great. I wondered alot how things would have turned out if I didn't go to the concert, But I sure am glad that I went. I wouldn't change anything. I like it like this. My life is great now.
