Chapter 7
"Bobby! Of course not, what was I thinking," Corinne said exaggeratingly.
"I knew it, of course not. Well you, you're actually normal. I'm very happy you didn't end up being one of those groupies."
"Groupies? I was never gonna become a groupie..." Corinne said then paused as if to think about it.
"Yeah right, I forgot, you already were one." Bobby said, laughing at the insulted expression on her face.
"Shut up Bobby. I gotta go." She said looking down at her watch, and noted that it was around 11:30 and it took 45 minutes to get to her house.
She had to make a phone call now. She took out a business card and handed it to Bobby. "You know you're a pretty cool guy, once you get over the whole I'm higher than you cause I can go backstage phase. We should hang out and I'll bring Mel next time."
"Sure why not." Bobby said, smiling as he realized that he had actually found a friend in the girl he had once made fun of. Bobby was locking up the last of the doors when he realized he hadn't seen his little brother in a while. He called up Jose on the walkie talkie.
"Yo, Jose, where's Ben?"
"I don't know man, I haven't seen him since he asked for that list of people with the backstage passes. Said you asked for them." Jose responded.
"What are you talking about?"
"You know, you asked for a list of the backstage people. Ben said you needed it."
"Hmm, that's weird." Bobby thought, although he could feel a strange feeling in his stomach but before he could think about it anymore Matt and Jeff walked out of the locker room.
Jeff's hair was still soaking wet and he tried to dry it as fast as possible with a towel, which had once been white but was now a light green color. "Matt why are you rushing me?" Jeff asked, shaking his wet hair.
"Damn, she's gone already."
"Whose gone?" Jeff asked.
"Corinne."
"Corinne? The girl with Taylor and Jules, the one with the curly brown hair, tall and...?"
"Yep, that's her. Oh well, guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to ask her out."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. You were gonna ask out a girl and you didn't tell me? What is this?" Jeff kept right on mumbling that even as Matt walked over to Bobby.
"Pardon me, but have you seen..." Matt began.
"Corinne?" Bobby said, smiling at Matt's surprised expression.
"Yeah, you know her?"
"Yeah, well sorta, we had a brief encounter a few years back when she was just a fan of yours. She just left. Had to make a phone call she said."
"Oh. Well thanks man." Then walked quickly back to the locker room.
"Yo, Matt. What's the deal?" Jeff said.
"Maybe we can still catch her." As the guys walked back out to the parking lot, Bobby's cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey Bobo...is everything alright with that girl?" Andy asked.
"What girl?" Bobby asked bewilderedly.
"Ah, the Corinne Miller who fainted and her car needed to be towed. Ben called about it earlier tonight. Gray Escort, 924-MMH." Andy responded.
"Oh, shit. I gotta go." Bobby said into the phone hanging up and running out the door.
"Bobby! Of course not, what was I thinking," Corinne said exaggeratingly.
"I knew it, of course not. Well you, you're actually normal. I'm very happy you didn't end up being one of those groupies."
