Slap In The Face, chapter 6
The next two years flew by so fast, I spent my summers on the road with the guys being there unofficial promoter/merchandise girl and spent the rest of the time trying to hold down a job and graduate high school with fairly good marks so I would be accepted into a respected university. I wanted to be a journalist and travel the world and the guys wanted to take Green Day into the Big Time and be able to at least live off what they were earning by being in the band.
On my graduation day Mike, Tre and Billie Joe were in the front row and they watched proudly as I received my diploma before being blindfolded and ushered into a car.
We drove for half an hour before I started getting nervous.
"Ok where are we going?" I asked nervously.
"You will know when we get there," said Mike mysteriously.
"Well there better be lots of alcohol there because there is something I have to tell you guys" I replied.
"All in good time my pet, all in good time," said Tre stroking my head.
I elbowed him in the guts "Hand off perv."
Tre started laughing and I heard BJ groan "that was me" he mumbled.
"Whoops," I said and then started laughing along with Tre.
An hour had almost passed before we finally pulled over, they helped me out of the car and walked me into somewhere that smelt of alcohol so I relaxed. As they took me through some doors I joked,
"Well at least I know it's a party and you guys haven't taken me into the middle of nowhere for a gang bang,"
They started laughing and Mike said, "Not quite, but the night is still young."
As they took the blindfold off I heard an huge bellow of "SURPRISE!" We were at Sammy's, the stage was set and about 100 of my friends and family were there, plus others who had graduated. I looked at them, "You guys did this all for me?" I stuttered, tearing up.
They gave me a huge group hug and BJ said "Of course we love ya babe, and we are so grateful for what you have done for us that we wanted to give you something special."
"Plus we never turn down a chance for a Parrrrtyyyy," said Tre.
"But we have one more surprise," said Mike.
"What, that you guys are going to play? I kinda figured that out since your gear is all set up."
"Yeah, but it's another surprise," said Tre.
The crowd of people split and a person walked through, I had to rub my eyes,
"Sarah?" I asked.
She walked up to me and we squealed, "Oh my god how did you get here?" I asked.
Sarah was my best friend from back in Australia, she had moved to LA where we both were going to go the university at UCLA.
"I've been here setting up my place, or should I say our place in LA," she replied.
The guys looked blankly and BJ looked at me quizzically "Your Place?"
I elbowed her in the ribs and said "Yeah I'm going to hang with Sares at her place this summer... umm shouldn't you guys get up there?" I quickly said, "We are going to hit the bar and mingle, I'll talk to you all later," I hugged them and grabbed Sarah and dragged her away.
"What the Fuck was that, don't they know you're moving to LA?" she asked.
"I was going to tell them today."
"You need to, you know, you can't just disappear" she told me.
"I fucking know that, they are my family I wouldn't leave without telling them besides its not that far."
She giggled, "That's some sexy family you have."
"Tell me about it," I replied rolling my eyes.
We said hi to a bunch of people before finally making it to the bar where Sammy stood.
"Hey Boss are you working the bar for me?"
"Anything for you darlin', I helped the boys organize this whole shin dig," he said.
"So you think you could give us two on the house?" I asked mischievously.
He chuckled "Can I see ID?"
I pulled out a discount card from some chain store "There you go," I replied
"Don't worry sweetie, you and your pretty friend drink free tonight," he said
I hugged him over the bar, "You're the best."
Me and Sarah grabbed our drinks and sat at a table.
The sound of Welcome To Paradise floated around us and Sarah said "They're pretty awesome."
"I know," I said proudly, "They are going to start a fucking revolution one da.y"
Sarah chuckled and asked, "So are they any good in bed?"
I nearly choked on my beer and spat it out, "Fuck girl you have more front then Myers still."
"Not as much as you, but so I guess that means you can answer."
"I don't sleep with my best friends, besides there is 3 of them and I ain't a whore," I lied unsuccessfully.
"But you have slept with one of them, I can tell."
"Ok, new topic, who's the last guy you fucked?" I asked irritably.
"Mark Johnson, so which one?" she laughed.
"None of them, I swear" I replied.
"In other words, it didn't work out," she replied knowingly .
I grunted, "Lets get a drink, I'm going to need it," I mumbled.
The night went too fast and before I knew it I was pretty damn drunk, Sarah was laughing hysterically on my shoulder and the place was cleared.
The guys walked up to me and I tried to stand (emphasis on tried) I tripped and BJ grabbed me before I fell.
"Whoa ladies had a little too much to drink, eh?" said Tre
"Welll, nahhh genius," I replied.
Sarah started to giggle again and I heard Mike say, "Lets get them back to her place."
Before I knew it, I was plunked on my couch and Tre asked "Ahh where did all the furniture go?"
"What the fuck is this, Dia," asked BJ
I laughed bitterly, "Daddy went back down under a couple of weeks ago."
I saw them all put on their respective angry faces.
"WHAT?!" they said in unison.
"It don't matter though," Sarah slurred.
"Oh yeah I have to tell you sumfin," I said.
"what is it lyd," asked Mike softly.
"I'm going to LA to uni ber sity," I giggled.
"Yep she's coming with me," slurred sarah.
"When?" asked BJ
"wot yads," said Sarah, I punched her playfully, "two days retard," we started laughing and chanting "Two days, Two days."
Then I passed out as did Sares, I woke up on the lounge room with her draped across my legs.
My head was pounding and my mouth was dried out, I nudged her, "Wake up and get off me."
"What?" she groaned.
We sat up and looked at each other, "You look like shit" we said at the same time.
"That was some party, girl," she said.
"Yeah I'm trying to remember," I laughed before my face fell, "Oh my god."
On my graduation day Mike, Tre and Billie Joe were in the front row and they watched proudly as I received my diploma before being blindfolded and ushered into a car.
