So life can get better! (Includes Green Day and Adrienne so no teenie comments), chapter 8
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, I was gonna ask you for your birthday but all of this happened. You're definitely good enough; I have heard you play in your room. You're amazing!"
"But what is the fans don't like me?"
"The fans like everything we do and if we lose a couple thousand fans then we have another 40,000 more to cover them eh?"
"I guess, but I don't want people to not like me!"
"Who gives a shit! It's all part of being a Rebel, Rebyl, haha that was funny, anyways you gotta make chances and make mistakes! Everything successful is also a series of mistakes!"
"I guess your right, but we'll have to wait till my head gets better."
"Says who? I asked the people who work here and they said that as long as you don't head bang that you're fine. Oh and you are coming home tomorrow so do you think you can stand Mike for just one more night?"
"I guess, but you try sleeping with Bobby the monkey flying around your head."
"I'm sorry kiddo but we have to go home tonight, they don't allow kids under the age of 8 in the family thing and we need to watch Jake and Joe so I love you," he said and gave me a hug.
He told me that my mom and brothers are already in the car and that he would be here at 5:30 to pick me up. He was coming late because he and my mom had to work stuff out with Adeline and Reprise.
I walked back to my room to see all of my stuff gone and a man giving Mike a shower. Gross, I just walked in on the man who I thought of as my uncle in the shower. Some one tapped me on the shoulder and saw Doobie. She told me that all my stuff was moved to a different room on my mom's request.
I walked/limped to a private room across the hall and saw my guitar and everything on the lone bed in the room. I turned around and Doobie was gone. I decided to get a shower. Still scared from seeing Mike in the shower I shuddered...EW. I grabbed my shampoo and conditioner and walked into the bathroom. My roots were coming in and I looked like crap. They just took off the head wrap today. I just realized that I haven't had my coffee so I jumped in the shower, (with a plastic bag on my leg to the cast wouldn't get wet) got clean, dried my hair and got out. I got on a Green Day Tee that my dad brought and a pair of bondage pants. I put on eyeliner too. I wasn't going to walk down in the hospital gown again. I put on 1 weird purple shoe that I got and walked out.
I got in the elevator and didn't bother finding Doobie to take me down, I could take care of myself. I crutched into the hospital café and straight to the coffee machine. I got French vanilla Cappuccino and sat down at one of the tables and gulped down my coffee. People gave me weird looks as I drank it because of the Goth/punk look, an old granny came up to me and said "May God help you girl, may God help you," thinking I was the exorcist or something. I started laughing as she walked away.
I went back to my room and picked up Samuel, as I named my guitar, and started idly playing a tune. I repeated the same tune over and over again until a song came to mind.
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.

I wrote down the song on a piece of paper and put it in my bag.
I heard my phone ring and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's Frankie."
"Hey, what's up?" I asked nervously. I was really falling for him. I had seen him everyday since I moved in and I was still nervous around him.
"Uh, well I was wondering if you wanted to start a band, Stella told me you wanted to. I would play bass and do lead, or back up, or we could share both, whatever works."
"Ok, I already have some song ideas, but your dad might have told you that I'm joining Green Day so that might give us less practice time and stuff."
"Yeah, congrats by the way."
"Yeah..."
"Well when do you get out of there?"
"Tomorrow."
"Sweet, you want to go to a movie with Stella, me and Mona?"
"Sure, I haven't met Mona yet."
"Alright, I'll pick you up at 7:30."
"Ok sweet, who's taking us?"
"Uh probably my dad."
"Ok, um, see you tomorrow then!"
"Ok bye."
"Bye."
I was so excited for the movies. I decided to get so dinner then sleep. I was getting ready to go downstairs to the café when a cafeteria lady walked passed and into my room with her cart.
"Where is this patient?" the lady asked herself.
"I'm right here, I was just walking down to get some food."
"No need I got some right here."
"Ok then."
I walked back into my room and saw the grossest food ever on my side table. I just ate the jello and drank the coffee. I decided to go brush my teeth and get some sleep. I brushed my teeth, got in some pajamas and hopped under the covers. I tuned on my mp3 player and fell asleep.
I woke up the next day at 11:03 and decided t play my guitar. I pulled it out of my case. I played some Ramones, some Green Day, and some Sex Pistols. It was 1:00 when I looked at the clock. The cafeteria lady walked in and handed me a plate of disgusting meatloaf and root beer. I threw it away immediately and drank the root beer. Mike walked in quietly and said "Hi." I jumped a foot in the air.
"Holy flying fuck Mike, don't scare me like that." He got a hurt look on his face like a kid that got yelled at by a teacher. "I'm sorry Mike, I still love you," I said as I gave him a hug.
He hugged back and said, "I am over Bobby, he said that he had a new friend so now you can be my friend!"
"Ok then!" yes no more Bobby!!
"So Mike how are you?"
"Yeah, I was gonna ask you for your birthday but all of this happened. You're definitely good enough; I have heard you play in your room. You're amazing!"
"But what is the fans don't like me?"
"The fans like everything we do and if we lose a couple thousand fans then we have another 40,000 more to cover them eh?"
