A metallic clang resonated around my head as my fist made contact with my computer "Work you piece of shit!" I shouted at it and hit it again. I groaned as the computer bleeped and the monitor screen winked off into a black nothingness. "So much for that computer" I mumbled to myself as leaning back in my leather chair I stretched over to my bedside table and grabbed my web book.
As the web book was booting up I got out of the chair wearing nothing but my customary pair of shorts and picked up my bass guitar. Looping the strap over my head I flicked on the amp and began to blast out the bass line to run to the Hills by the lords of Rock and Metal Iron Maiden. Even with this distraction my mind still wandered back to last night and as I caught sight of my Zippo lighter on my desk I had a quick flashback! I had remembered something!
Just after 6 me and the boys Milo, Reggie, and Terry all had met up and gone down to the park together to get ready for the night of clubbing ahead of us. We had gone and found our usual man to buy us the good stuff and settled down under a tree to get some "socialising" in before moving out and hitting the town.
I quickly turned of my bass and placing it carefully on its stand whacked the top of my web book down and rummaged through the tons of rubbish on my desk for my mobile phone. I flipped the cover off and dialled for my best mate Milo. He might remember what had happened that night. Why hadn't I thought of this before damn I was so stupid!
"Hey Dixie what's up?" He answered as he picked up the phone.
"Not much" I replied. "Just trying to remember last night,"
" Oh yeah man I remember you disappearing out of the club holding onto some sweet little number in a tight black dress and leggings, did you get some eh? Eh?"
"I honestly don't know but I do know I woke up in a rosebush in the park half naked and with a note and a bra with me. And I know I wasn't wearing the bra at the start of the night." I said
"Dude! Sweet! You got to show me this bra cause I don't believe you for one second you scored with that chick!"
"Alright can you meet me in town in about 20mins? I got nothing to do and the mother's gone walkabout to visit an uncle in Bridgewater or something like that."
"See you in a min the mate," And he was gone. I known Milo for nigh on three years and he is a proper class mate always look out for each other me and him.
I quickly threw on some jeans that weren't covered in mud and grass stains, a shirt of sorts grabbed my hat and sunnies and dashed out the door. "Oi Buthead!" I shouted as I opened the front door. "I'm going out for a bit I'll be back later so let me know what time mum gets back will you?" He took a break from the Xbox long enough to say "yes" then carried on blasting people to pieces. A quick glance at the weather and I decided yes I had better take my umbrella just in case. And with that I walked out of the door making sure to lock it behind me, I mean I got valuable stuff in my room and my brother is about as much use at fighting off people as a leftover bit of pizza.
I plugged my iPod in and the sweet sounds of AC/DC assaulted my ear drums causing me to hum in tune to Back in Black and march across the road and on into town. I got there soon enough the umbrella not slowing me down at all as I walked towards I usual meeting spot I felt something in the bottom of my shoe. I had been wearing these last night so they were a bit muddy and I thought great a stone. I bent down undid my shoe and as I tipped it up an earring rolled out onto my hand. It looked like an Accessorize sort of thing. Little fake pearl that probably cost a fortune to buy and even less to carve if you had used your own teeth.
"Jesus Christ next thing I know ill find her bloody dress halfway up my arse," I mumbled to myself and pocketed the earring. "Well I hope it's not up there it was a nice dress before you got your hands on it," a deep voice sounded above me. I glanced up and sure enough there was Milo standing over me. I deftly tied my shoe and stood up after a quick man hug Milo says to me "Fuck me you look like shit man," I grinned. His bluntness always made me laugh
"Don't I know it, but I feel even worse than I look" I said
"Well then best get going quickly but before we go anywhere I got something you might like to seeā¦"
