by GreenDayWhoreX3 on July 25, 2006
This is My first Story.8O It took me a while to Write it so i hope you guys like it. Comments would really be appreciated. Its Called BackStage Pass:
"Steven! Oh my god you'll never guess what i just won!!!" I said quitely in My phone
"What? Tell me!" Steven Replied anxiously
"Backstage passes to The Green day Concert!!"
"OH MY GOD GIRL YOU'RE TAKING ME!"
"um. I planned on it but i gotta go my boss is coming" Click.
I work at Hooters. Because im well developed, I got the job on the spot. I also get extra tips from the men that come in here. I need the money. Im broke and living in a crappy apartment. I left my boyfriend and everything went even more downhill from there. She wanted out of Michigan. And Fast.
As I walked to my car I got the usual treatment from the men waiting outside. A whistle here, a "Hey baby" there. I was used to it. I just blew it off and kept walking. As soon as I got into her car I locked the door and turned the car on. I drove off with the radio blasting.
When i got into my apartment, I threw Myself on the couch. I have been so tired. Mr. Simmons has been asking me to take extra shifts almost every night for the past two weeks. I dont mind though. I need the money.
Right as I Was about to fall asleep My phone rang.
"hello?" I answered
"Hey girl whats up?" Steven asked
"Ugh. Nothing. What are you doing?"
"Nothing. So you're giving me a pass right?"
"Steven. Who else would i give it to?You're the one going with me to the concert."
"I know. I was just making sure. But hey ill callyou back tomorrow"
"Bye" I said as i hung up.
After i Hung up my phone i put it on the charger and jumped in the shower. I had a lot on my mind. Tomorrow was the concert. I was hoping it would take my mind off of things.
The next day
I woke up at 10 oclock and started getting ready that second. I went and got Steven at around Noon and we went to Lunch. Steven wouldnt shut up about meeting Tre Cool. He thinks he's gonna get in his pants when he meets him.
After Lunch me and Steven headed right for The Palace. We stood outside for a couple hours and then got in. We went through the whole Signing the paper saying they werent gonna mosh thing and we got our bracelets. Steven Grabbed me and threw me over his shoulder and ran down those stairs like he was running from a stampede. It was good though because he got us right in front. So close we could touch the stage.
Jimmy eat World Opened up. This girl right beside us was dancing like a hippie. People started moshing and i got pushed against the stage. it made me wonder if any of my ribs were broken. Finally The Drunken Bunny came out. Steven loved it because they were playing YMCA. Billie Joe, Mike,Tre and everyone else ran out to the stage. Billie Joe was right in front of us. I was pretty much in heaven. Steven Kept Yelling "TRE MARRY ME". He got his attention once. It made him laugh. When Hitchin a ride came on Everyone Got a surprise. Steven enjoyed it more than i did. By the End of the show i was tired,hot,and thirsty. The Security Gaurd noticed we had the backstage passes around our necks so he got us back stage.
I held on to Steven for dear life. There were so many people backstage i thought we were gonna get ran over. The security gaurds bruaght us to the guys Dressing room. It said "Green Day" On the door. We walked in and Steven Sat down. I stayed standing. I couldnt sit. Even though i was tired, i just couldnt.
After about 15 minutes of waiting the door opened and all three of them walked in. Steven was in Heaven because Tre sat down next to him. Billie Joe Looked at me and smiled.
"Sit down." Billie Joe said patting the seat next to him.
'Oh god. PLEASE DO NOT LET ME TRIP IN FRONT OF THIS MAN' Ithought to my self.
I walked over and sat down. Tre smiled at me from across the room. I turned red and smiled back.
"So which one of yah's one these passes?" Mike asked.
I was just staring into space.
"Kate did. She called From Work and almost got fired." Steven said.
"Oh Really?"Bille replied
"No. I called from work. I didnt get in trouble though." I said.
"Well thats pretty fuckin' cool. What do you do?" Billie asked.
'oh god. The dreaded 'where do you work' question' i thought to myself.
"uhh. i uhh. I work at Hooters." i said as my face turned beat red.
"They have good chicken wings" Said Tre
"So ive heard." i said. I was feeling really light headed. I think it was because i hadnt had anything to drink. they could tell.
"Are you okay?" mike asked me
"Umm. Yeah. im fine..im just a little light headed."
Billie joe walked out of the room fast and came back with a bottle of water.
"Here. Drink this." He said handing me the bottle of water.
"Thanks" i said as i smiled at him.
"So how long have you been fans of the greatest band on earth?" Tre asked with a huge grin on his face.
"Ive been a fan ever since i can remember. I grew up listening to you guys. You're music has gotten me through a lot."I said.
"Ive been a fan since i saw a picture of you penis Tre" Steven said.
I choked on my water. Billie Patted me on my back. I felt stupid.
"What are your plans after this?" Billie Asked me
"I gotta work unfortunatly. But i need the money so i cant complain." i said.
"How long are u working for?" Billie asked again
"Until they tell me to go home."
The guys looked at billie funny. Billie looked at them with the "What the fuck" Look.
After 21 questions we all took pictures. And we said our goodbyes.
I dropped steven off and went straight to work. I had to change in my car. Ive gotten used to it. And Pretty damn good at it. i went in and the place was packed. there was a party. Good tips come with big parties.
After 3 hours of Getting my ass pinched and drunk and horny guys asking for my number we closed. I stayed there to clean up. As i was cleaning a table, i saw a car pull up. It was a nice black SUV.
My boss opened the door and let the men who were in the car in..
"Kate, Get these guys orders. NOW!" Mr.Simmons ordered.
"Fine" I said rushing over there. I stopped dead in my tracks when i realized who they were.
"So we meet again" Tre Said.
"haha yeah. What can i get yah?" i asked them. They gave me their orders and i gave it to the cook. I braught Tre and Billie joe a beer and mike a coffee.
"ORDERS UP"
I rushed over to get the guys dinner. I braught it to them. They all said thanks and i walked away.
After i was done cleaning the tables, i sat down in the booth behind the guys and counted out my tips. Thirty dollars. Not that bad. I put my head in my hands and just sat there and thought how did i get myself into this mess?
After the guys were done they got up and payed for their dinner. Billie Joe walked over to me and handed me a 20 dollar bill and said thanks and walked away. I chased after him.
"I cant take this. This is too much for a tip"I said
"No its not. Between all of us thats enough" Billie joe said
"No between the three of you it would be like 7 dollars. Thats a normal tip" I argued.
"Just keep it."
"No. Im not a charity case." I said with tears welling up in my eyes.
"Fine." Billie Joe said as he took the 20. He put his hand out to shake mine. When i pulled back there was a paper in my hand.
I stood there as they drove off. After they were gone i walked to my car and locked my door. I opened The note and it said call me tonight. And it had his number. I thought to myself, This must be a joke.
When i got home i tried to go to sleep. But i couldnt. The note was bothering me. so i took my phone and dialed the number. What the hell..Its worth a shot.
"Hello?" A voice said
"Hello?" i said
"Who is this?" The voice asked
"Uh..Kate..Is this billie joe?"
"Yeah..You're the one from Hooters?"
"ugh..Um. yeah."
"Hey hun whats goin on?"
"Nothing. I cant sleep so i figured id call you.."
"Im sorry."
"Its fine. Um. i have a question"
"Go For it."
"Why did you give me your number?"
"Well, One, You're beautiful. You're one of the sweetest girls ive ever met. You werent all 'OMG BILLIE JOE I LOVE YOU'"
"haha. Im not like that at all. Never have been either."
"Thats good haha. I just wanna get to know yah. Its nice meeting new people."
The conversation went on for 5 hours. I got No sleep what so ever. But Its all good. Green Day Is gonna be in Michigan for a couple of days so he wants to hang out at my place. Lovely isnt it? Ever since i got off the phone with him Ive been cleaning..ive even been cleaning CLEAN things.
When i was finally done and satisfied with everything i sat on the couch and put music on.
the next thing i knew i heard a buzz.
'Oh god. Its him..' I said to myself as i walked to the buzzer.
"Who is it?" is aid
"uh. Billie"
"Ill be right there." i said as i walked to the other side of the building.
When i was at the door i saw billie facing the other way looking at the traffic. I opened the door.
"Hey" i said.
"Heyy!!" Billie Said giving me a hug.
"Come on in." I said.
We walked to the other side of the building where my apartment was located at and went in.
"Make yourself at home" I said as i closed the door. I guess Billie Joe really did make himself at home. He went straight to my room. I quickly followed him.
"Nice room yah got here." He said
"Thanks.." I said back in a questioning tone. Billie joe Plopped down on my bed. I stood against the wall.
"You know you can come here. Its your bed." Billie Said
"Naww.im fine." i said.
"Fine then illjust bring you over here." He said walking over to me. He took my hand and sat me on the bed. He went to put his arm around my shoulder and i flinched.
"What was that for?" He asked
"uhh..um. nothing. u just caught me off gaurd thats all." I said feeling awkward.
"Oh. im sorry." he said
"Dont be. Its fine...umm you want something to drink?" i asked
"No thank you im fine. How about you and me go to dinner tonight?" he asked
"I dont have that much money...i.."
"be ready by 7" billie said as he walked outta my apartment.
7 oclock came quick. I didnt have much to wear so i put on the nicest black dress i had. It was short, yet elegant at the same time. I heard the buzz and i went to the door. Billie Joe looked me up and down and smiled.
"You look Gorgeous." He said Kissing me on the cheek.
"Thanks. You dont look to bad yourself." I replied. He walked me to his car. It was parked by mine. Mine looked like junk compared to his. He opened the door for me and i got in. He had Elvis Costello playing. i found it soothing.
When we got there, the paparazzi was EVERYWHERE. Billie Joe just put his hand on my back and walked. I kept my head down. Who wants their picture to be all over the internet? i sure as hell dont!
"Im so sorry about that. They have No respect at all." Billie Joe said
"Its fine. it really is."I said with a smile. He smiled back. The waiter walked us over to our seats. Ive never been to a fance resturant like this. Its huge. And way nicer than any of the suburban resturants.
I ordered a salad for dinner. While Billie ordered a huge steak. i didnt wanna order something that made me look like a heffer. ;-) Ill tell you what though, That may have just been a salad..but that was the best damn salad ive ever had.
After we were done we left. The paparazzi was still outside and we did the same thing we did when we got here. Billie opened the door for me and then rushed to his side. He quickly drove off.
"Look im sorry about those fuckin paparzzi. They follow us everywhere. They're usually not that bad, but if we have a girl with us they are. Theyve been going crazy with that ever since my divorce." He said
"Wow. Im sorry for you. you dont deserve that. You're a human being just like the rest of us." I said
"Sometimes i dont care. But if im on a date or something like this, it gets rediculous and tiring. I cant have a normal date. It's scared a lot of girls off. I just hope they dont scare you off."
I looked out the window after he said that. I didnt know what to say. Who would?
We finally arrived back at my apartment. Billie Followed me in. I didnt mind.
"Thank you for a wonderful night Billie. I really do appreciate it." I said
"No, thank you for going with me. i had a wonderful time." he said.
We sat there quitely for a while.
"Tomorrow im leaving For california again. We have a couple shows throughout cali then we're done with the tour. I really do wanna keep in touch with you." Billie joe said as he took my hand. I turned my head toward him.
"Id love to keep in touch Billie."
Over the next three months Me and Billie Talked on the phone for several hours a day. I hated not seeing him. But the phone was the only way. Billie Made me buy a camera everyweek and send him pictures. I dont get why. I havent changed since the last time he saw me.
I went to work to find another party. This time it was for my ex's birthday. I was about to walk out and call in sick but Mr.Simmons saw me. And So did my ex. I dont have a good history with My Ex.
'Oh lucky me' I thought as my eX walked up to me. along with him were a group of his friends.
"Hey i didnt know you worked here" He said as he put his arms out. I flinched and he looked at his friends.
"yeah. I have no choice" I said as i walked away. Out of the corner of my eye i saw him talking to mr. Simmons. Right after he was done talking to him He walked up to me.
"Kate, That young man requested you as everyones server so go."
"Yes sir." I said with an attitude.
I had an attitude the whole night with Nick,My ex, and all of his friends. They tipped me a whole five dollars. When the party was over i left. Nick followed.
"What was the attitude about?" nick asked in an aggressive tone.
"What do you think? You put me through Hell Nick! and you expect me to be nice?!" i said
"I Put you through hell because you deserved it!" He said now yelling.
"How the fuck did i deserve it? I did nothing but be at your beck and call!" after i said that he slapped me and i fell to the ground. My hand emediatly went to my face. My lip was bleeding. A car pulled into the drive way,slammed on its breaks, and Someone got outta the car.
"GET THE FUCk AWAY FROM HER!" The man yelled.
Nick backed off and left. I looked up with tears in my eyes.
It was Billie. This was the day i was dreading. Billie joe knelt down next to me and moved my hand. I looked away.
"Why didnt you tell me about him?" Billie asked in a worried tone.
"I didnt want to bother you with it. I thought if i avoided it, it would go away." I said. After i said that, he helped me up and took me to his car. I got in and he drove to his hotel.
When we got to his room he went into the bathroom and got a wet towel and put it on my lip. I flinched because it hurt. After my lip stopped bleeding, he got up and started pacing the room.
"Were you ever going to tell me about him?" billie asked
"Yeah. Just not this soon." I said looking at the floor.
"Tell me about your relationship with him. What did he do to you?"
"I met him when i was 15 and we started dating when we were 16. When we were 17 he started getting abusive. It started out Verbally. He would call me useless, Call me ugly. Just everything you can think of. I wouldnt have sex with him so he'd think i was having sex with someone else. When he started thinking that way he started hitting me. If i said something wrong i would get hit. He forced me to have sex with him. I never wanted to. The night i left him, He wanted to have sex. I told him no. I was sore from all the hitting. He beat me up bad. And then raped me. I left him the next day."
Billie Joe didnt say anything. I looked at him and he was staring at me with his teary eyes. I looked back at the floor.
"Is that why you wouldnt sit on the bed with me the first time we hung out?" He asked. I shook my head yes.
"Can i hold you?" he asked. I shook my head yes. he held me for the rest of the night. We ended up falling asleep in each others arms.
I didnt wake up until Noon the next day. I had work in three hours. I rolled over to see Billie Laying on his stomach with his face buried in the pillow. I pushed his shoulder to see if he would get up but he just rolled over.
"Billie?" i said softly. He rolled over
"huh?" He said with his eyes still closed
"I have to go home. I have work in three hours."
"Just take the day off. You dont need to go in today."
"Yeah i do. I need the money Billie Joe!" i said loudly. That woke him up.
"Why do you wanna go back there? So he can show up again and do something worse?" billie joe said.
"Billie I have No Choice! I need the money or i lose my apartment. If i lose my apartment i have no where to go."
"Come live with me. Get away from all of this bullshit. You need to start over." Billie Joe said. I was in shock. I just stared at him.
"What do you want me to do? Leave my family? How can i do that?" i said
"You're family would probably want you to start over. Look, If you move in with me you can see your family anytime you want."
"Can you just give me time to think about it?" I asked
"Of course, Sweetie. Take your time. This isnt getting you out of not taking a day off of work though. Im calling in for you." and he did just that. He called in and said i was puking my guts out.
Billie Joe and I drove back to my apartment. Billie stayed with me most of the day.
"Im gonna go call my mom okay?" I said to billie
"Alright. take your time. Ill just watch T.v or something." he said.
Ring....Ring...
"Hello?" My mom said
"Hey mama." i said
"hi. whats up?"
"nothing. i actually just got home."
"Arent you supposed to be at work?"
"Yeah i am, But Billie told me to take the day off."
"Well that was nice of him."
"Yeah..can i ask you something?"
"Go For it."
"What would you say if i moved to California..to start over?"
"Id say go for it. Its your life.If you have to move to make it better then you do it!"
"Fine. Im moving in with Billie joe mom. He said i can visit anytime i want."
"Thats great! You wouldnt have to visit all the time. You always have the phone and letters."
"Yeah i know. Do you think you could tell the family? I have to go tell Billie Joe the news."
"Sure can. Ill talk to you later then."
"Alright, Bye." I said as i hung up the phone. I walked slowly into the living room thinking about if im making the right choice or not.
"I need to talk to you." I said as i sat down next to billie.
"Okay. im all ears." He said.
"I talked to my mom..and i decided that..I will move in with you. But i have one question."
"What?"
"Are we moving in as friends..Or as a couple?"..after i asked that there was a long silence.
"I like you..A LOT..and i wanna be with you, i just dont know if you're ready."
"I think im ready." I said.
I kissed him. It was our first kiss. It wasnt one of those long and passionate ones..Just one of those wow kisses.
"Wow." Billie Joe said.
"Wow what?" i asked
"Nothing" He said as he grabbed the back of my head. Now this kiss..This kiss was a passionate one.
Should i make a sequel?
