Chapter 18: Time Of Your Life
Heather sat in the back seat of Raechel's truck, with her arms crossed. She leaned forward, "Where we going?" Rae looked back at her, "Sit back and shush." Amanda nodded in agreement. "Fine, crabs." Heather huffed and sat back. "Can you at least hand me that?" She pointed to the CD case on the floor by Amanda's feet. Rae nodded as Amanda handed her the CDs. Heather flipped through the case until she found what she wanted, her face lit up as she handed the CD to Amanda. Amanda shook her head and laughed. "You should be really sick of this song." "Shut up and put it on number 7." Amanda nodded and popped it in, a moment later, Fuel's Running away, blasted through the speakers. "I love this song." Heather beamed. "We know." Rae and Amanda said in unison. The girls laughed. "I'm really gonna miss ya'll." Heather said softly. Amanda turned the song down and turned around in her seat to face her, she noticed the tears were ready to fall. "You don't need to go." Rae said finally speaking. "I know, but, but I love him." Heather said quietly. The girls in the front nodded, "Does he love you?" Rae asked. Heather didn't answer. "Exactly." Amanda finished for Rae. All the girls were silent for the rest of the ride.
Heather looked out the back window of the truck, "What the hell are we doing down here?" She was referring to the football stadium of the Baltimore Ravens, PSINet Stadium. Rae looked over her shoulder and smirked, "Gotta surprise for ya chica." Amanda nodded as she dug out something from the glovebox. She held up three tickets. Heather's face lit up, "No fucking way!" Raechel chuckled and nodded, "Yeah, tickets to the Fuel concert tonight." Heather smiled, "You guys are the best!" Heather grinned and jumped out of the truck. "Come on! Fuel is waiting for us," she yelled to Rae and Amanda who were still sitting in the car. They nodded and climbed out. "Are they gonna play Running Away," Heather asked excited. Rae rolled her eyes, "No shit." Heather crossed her arms, "Be that way, Hot head." Rae grinned, "I will, homewrecker." They all laughed as they linked arms and went towards the entrance.
Inside, Heather and Amanda were watching as the rest of the concert goers filed in. Rae returned, bitching under her breath. She handed her friends their beers, and Amanda smiled as she swallowed her first drink, "What's wrong?" Raechel sighed, "I got fuckin' carded." Heather and Amanda started laughing as Rae rolled her eyes, "Don't I look 22?" Amanda smiled and nodded, "Of course you do." Heather nodded in agreement, "You look old enough to be my mom." Raechel rolled her eyes and scowled at her. She then smiled at Heather, "You know, you're damn lucky this is your last night with us, if not, I'd tip that beer all over you." Heather smirked and shook her head. Amanda sighed, "Don't talk about her leaving." Raechel sighed, "We've gotta deal with it." Heather nodded in agreement. Their older friend sighed as she hung her head, "I'm just going to miss her so much." Rae nodded in agreement, "I am too, but come on, this is OUR night. Let's have some fuckin fun." Heather nodded, "Come on, Rae's right, we're here to have a good time." Amanda smiled up at her friends and nodded in agreemnet, "Alright." Raechel smiled, "We'll save the crying for after the concert."
Heather perked up when she noticed Fuel taking the stage. The crowd went nuts as the band waved. Rae jumped up and started screaming, "Yeah!" Heather looked over at Rae with a smile, she was going to miss her a lot. She then looked over at Amanda, who was looking at her. They both smiled at each other; Amanda hugged Heather, "I love ya Heather." Heather smiled, "I love ya too Amanda." Rae looked over at her friends and sighed heavily. She then wrapped her arms around both or them, "What I say?" They all three laughed and pulled away as Fuel started playing their first song, 'Die Like This'. All three girls sang the song with all their heart, along with thousands of other people. Rae, Heather, and Amanda all looked at each other and smiled.
Heather's eyes brightened as she recognized the first couple chords of 'Running Away'. As much as she listened to the song, she could recognize it by the first couple guitar chords. Raechel and Amanda looked at her as she sang along as if her life depended on it. She was in her own little world, and enjoying herself. It was too bad this was the last time they were going to be together, for a long time. None of them knew how long, but Rae and Amanda worried that it was going to be TOO long.
The three friends walked out to the truck after an amazing performance by Fuel. The three of them looked at each other and all started crying. They stood outside the truck and embraced each other tightly in a group hug. Rae was the first to break the hug; she looked at her friends, "Come on, let's get the hell outta here." They all wiped their eyes and filed into the truck. As Rae started the truck, the song, 'Good Riddance' by Green Day filled the truck. All three sat and listened to it, before breaking down. Heather was sobbing, "I'm going to miss you guys so much." Rae leaned to the back, and she hugged Heather tightly. Heather then hugged Amanda tightly. All three then wrapped their arms around each other as they sobbed. They must have been quite the sight for anyone who walked by, but none of them cared. This was THEIR night.
'Good Riddance' By Green Day
"Another turning point
Another fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
Directs you where to go
So make the best of this task
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf of good health
And good time
Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trail
For what it's worth
It was worth all the while
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life"
