Chapter 4
As I walked down the high street I began thinking of what Dan had said to me, I couldn't help but feel some truth in the fact that no one cared about me. Because it was true, never really cared about me, hell! My very own parents didn't care for me, so would anyone else?
As that thought lingered in my head a small tear trickled down my cheek, because my cheeks were that cold my tear felt like lava burning its way down the face of the volcano!, I quickly swept it away and along with it the thought, I don't have to think like that anymore because I'm my own person now, I can do whatever I like!
I carried on down the street, I looked at my phone, it was only 11:00am, I decided to go for some breakfast.
As I walked into the café the smell of coffee almost knocked me out! I sat down, am not very good with people, I just keep myself to myself, but as I walked in everyone turned and looked, I started to panic literally ran to an empty table almost sending a waitress flying,
'Sorry!' I shouted as I darted past, finally I reached the table; I put my head straight down and studied the menu.
'What can I get you sweetie' I looked up to see a waitress about 4 years older than me chewing on gum and fiddling with a pencil, she was just stood smiling.
'Ermmm... I will just have the pancakes with syrup please' she jotted it down on the note pad,
'Would you like a drink with that honey?' I began to fidget looking at the menu, I was feeling a bit uncomfortable with having to speak to someone I don't know, I don't know why but I haven't had much interaction with people so I find hard to cope with sustaining a simple conversation,
'Just orange...please' she smiled and walked away
As I was waiting I shoved my earphones in and blasted burnout full volume, I found it easier to cope being in a public area with my music on, it sort of made me feel safe.
Before I knew it my breakfast was here, I didn't realise how hungry I was until I started to eat, and that made me think of the last time I had an actual meal, I normally just snacked through the day, I didn't really eat much, and Jane never cooked.
I finished and paid, wow I feel full! I had forgotten what the feeling of over eating felt like. I already felt so much better. It was now 12:00pm so I decided to do something I had never done; I went to watch a movie.
The theatre was empty I had it all to myself; I guessed that was because everyone was at work or school, after the film had finished it was 2:00pm.
As I was walking down the street I looked up to a giant poster of Green Day, it said they were performing in New York on the 18th, that's 2 days away I thought to myself, but then I realised it had a massive 'SOLD OUT!!' sticker across it, hmmm never mind.
Then I decided what I wanted to do! I was determined to meet Green Day and tell them how much they have inspired me, that way I can find out if they care and that would at least add to 3 people caring about me, well sort of, and also if I get them to sign something I could post it through that jerks letter box and show him that THEY DO CARE!!
Also I've never been to New York before, I decided to head down to the bus depot and see if there was a bus that could take me there, the bus station was half way across town so by the time I got there it was beginning to get darker, I like the dark, I find it better than the daytime.
'E-Excuse me, is there a bus that can take me to New York?' I peered over the desk to a rather large man who looked like he hadn't showered in days!
'You're in luck there's the last one in half an hour' he answered
'Oh thank you would I be able to buy a one way ticket?' Yess! This was my chance to get out of here!
'Sure!, that's $30 then please' I chucked him the money under the glass screen and grabbed my ticket, as I looked at the ticket and read ONE WAY I couldn't help but wear a missive grin across my face. I sat down on the seats that looked old and tatty because they had been there that long, but I didn't care I couldn't help reading every word on my ticket, I couldn't believe that I was actually leaving here!
Half an hour past and just as promised my bus rolled into the station. I ran up the steps, showed the driver my ticket and sat on the seat that looked In the best condition. Put my head phones in and began listening to Green Day, and before I knew it I was drifting off to sleep.
'Excuse me, miss? Excuse me this is your stop' I was woken by the light nudging of the driver,
'Wha... oh sorry! Thank you' I grabbed my back and began to get off the bus, when I remembered I had no clue where I was,
'Ermmm I don't suppose you have a map I could have do you?' the bus driver smiled and pulled a map from the side of his seat and handed it to me,
'Thank you so much!' I yelled as I ran down off the bus.
It was still dark, had i gotten here in the same night? I looked at my phone and it said it was the 17th, shit! That was a long journey! I looked at the time and it said 9:30pm, hmmm were am I going to sleep? I looked at the map and saw there was a motel not too far, it took me an hour of wondering around the unbelievably busy streets to realise I was holding the map upside down, I decided to scrap the motel idea and try and find somewhere to eat instead.
I found a small Chinese place and ordered some noodles, as I studied the map, the right way up this time! I found that the stadium seemed quite far away, I guess walking is out of the question. As I finished my noodles I decided I would just wonder round instead of sleeping, y'know just check the place out seems as though I haven't been here before, and besides I might even want to stay here.
I began walking down the road; everything seemed so much more vibrant here! There were so many people out on the streets all bumbling around doing their own business. I followed the signs to central park, when I got there it looked so peaceful, it was huge, but peaceful. I walked in following the small path, it was cute because there were street lamps lighting the way, I felt for a second that I was the only person in the world, it was so desolate. I kept coming to small junctions in the pathing, I had to choose which way to go, I began to feel like I was on an adventure, I giggled to myself at the thought, before long I came to a bench I decided to sit down and have a bit of a rest, but before I knew it I was being woken by the sound of birds chirping
'SHIT!' I shouted I was panicking about the time; I looked at my phone, thank god! It was on 7:00am
I ran back out of the park getting lost every so often but eventually I found my way out, I walked over to a parked cab,
'Excuse me, but how long and how much would it take to get from here to here?' I pointed to the stadium on the map,
'Ermmm, well its about 2 hours away, and I would say around $150' I knew I had a lot more than that in the savings account,
'Great! Would you be able to stay here and I will go get the money out, promise you will wait!' the cab driver nodded in agreement, butterflies filled my stomach I couldn't believe I was actually doing this!
'Oh where's the nearest cash machine?' I quickly turned, the cab driver pointed around the corner, I ran as fast as I could, I quickly inserted the card, before long I was back at the taxi, I handed him the money and we set off, oh how am I going to get to meet Green Day hmmm.....
