Ch.4: Meeting Johnny Cade

Johnny's POV

Johnny Cade been making his way to the lot. It was a nice summer day but it made him almost sweat in his jean jacket. No matter how much the gang told him to not wear his jacket, he didn't want them to see the bruises or the beatings his old man or his so called "mother" gave him. Besides, there was a breeze blowing to cool him down.

He had been making his way to the lot when he heard what sounded like some kind of guitar strumming and some girl singing along with it. It made him listen curiously to her pretty voice and the instrument along with, it.

Her voice was so, so, beautiful. It was hard for him to describe even on this fine summer day. It was like fine silk waving through the summer air. He quietly made his way closer to the lot and saw her.

Light brown hair waving gently in the breeze, tan skin like mine just a bit lighter playing what looked like some kind of guitar. It sounded different, though. Johnny quietly stepped on the gravel of the lot and made his way towards her as her voice made out the lyrics of her song.

Suddenly her singing and strumming stopped. Her head snapped up and turned toward me, her grey eyes looking into his soft brown ones making him freeze.

"I-I'm sorry." he stuttered out making him feel like an idiot. She didn't say anything for a minute but just smiled and chuckled a bit.

"It's okay. What's your name?" she asked friendly sounding but yet a bit shy. He shyly smiled a bit and made his way over to her other side.

"Johnny Cade. What about you?" she smiled a bit and strummed the strings on her guitar or, at least that's what he thought it was.

"I'm Brieanna, but everyone calls me Brie." she said peering at the greasy haired boy through her bangs. He flashed a quick smile and cleared his throat a bit which choking up a bit with salivia from all the nervousness of being alone with a girl he didn't know, but who was just so pretty.

"Th-That's a pretty name." he murmured and she smiled shyly, blushing a little.

"Thanks." she said. It was silent between them for a moment before shyly asking

"What's that instrument you got there?" She chuckled a bit and strummed it again.

"This is a bass guitar. Wanna try and play it?" she asked, her grey eyes sparkling. Johnny looked at the instrument hesitantly. It looked brand new and he didn't want to break it. He shook his head.

"I-I dont think I'd be able to. I dont wanna break it or nothing." he said quickly, hiding his embarrassment. She laughed.

"I dont think someone nice and kind like you would break my bass guitar. C'mon just try! Please?" she said. Johnny glanced from it to her and sighed a bit but smiled slightly.

"Okay." she smiled shyly handing it over to the boy carefully. Johnny huffed when it was placed on his lap. It felt a bit heavy but it was cool.

"Just strum the strings and it makes a cool sound." he nodded slowly and did as she told him to. It made him feel excited. She tried tuning a bit and it made different sounds.

"Wow this is pretty cool." he said and smiled a bit at her. He then paused.

"Wait, why are you letting me try out your bass guitar? I'm just some stranger to you. aren't you afraid I might take it or something?" Johnny asked not that he would or anything. She looked at him with honest eyes.

"I dont think you would. I look at you and see an innocent kid, not some jail thief." she said honestly making him blush a little. It was like a compliment; because that's how most greasers were viewed around our neighborhood.

She sighed and gave her back her guitar, hands brushing as she took it back. Johnny blushed a bit and looked down at the ground to avoid embarrassment.

"Well Cade I better get back to the gas station or the DX. But I'm going to be in town for a few days. I'm in a band. You're invited to come and see me play this Saturday." she said with a shy smile.

He shyly smiled back.

"I hope I see you there." she said standing back holding her guitar tightly to herself before waving to him and walking the other direction making him sigh and smile a bit.

Brie's POV

Brie smiled slightly to herself as she lowly strummed the strings on the guitar and made her way back to the gas station.

She can't believe she had just met a guy! It made her feel excited almost. He was cute looking and sweet, too.

She did hope to see him at the concert this Saturday.
