Ch.9, Greenday

Charlie sat in the corner of her cell holding herself. She was completely bored out of her mind. Until finally she started humming holiday by Green Day. She even started tapping her foot to make up the beat to keep her going.

Grievous cocked his head to the side watching her from the camera, "What is that song?"

Once she was done she started on boulevard of broken dreams.

Grievous got to his feet and made his way to her cell to question her about these songs.

"I walk a lonely road the one I have ever known... I walk alone... my shadow only's one that walks beside me..."

Grievous opened the door and stared at her, "What is that song? It's one I've never heard"

Charlie looked at him and stopped singing.

"By all means continue..." he walked fully into the room and sat down on her bed.

"... why?" asked Charlie who was confused.

"Because its interesting," not taking his eyes off of her.

"Okay..." she raised an eyebrow but started up the song again,

"I walk a lonely road the only one that I have ever known don't know where it goes but it's home to me and I walk alone I walk this empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams where the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone I walk a.
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating.
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me 'til then I walk alone I'm walking down the line that divides me somewhere in my mind on the border line of the edge and where I walk alone read between the lines what's fucked up and everything's alright check my vital sings to know I'm still alive and I walk alone I walk alone I walk alone I walk a.
my shadow's the only one that walks beside me my shallow heart's the only thing that's beating sometimes I wish someone out there will find me 'til then I walk alone I walk alone I walk a.
I walk this empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams where the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk a.
my shadow's the only one that walks beside me my shallow heart's the thing that's beating.
Sometime I wish someone out there will find me 'til then I walk alone"

Charlie watched the wall trying to ignore his pricing gaze, "That's it." she mumbled.

Grievous said nothing but nod and continued to watch her.

Charlie gave him a funny look after she couldn't take his staring any longer.

"What?" he asked.

"Nothing... do you want to hear the other one?" she looked away.

"Yes."

Charlie nod and started tapping her foot again to give herself a beat.

"Say, hey hear the sound of the falling rain coming down like an Armageddon flame the shame the ones who died without a name hear the dogs howling out of key to a hymn called 'faith and misery'
And bleed, the company lost the war today I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies this is the dawning of the rest of our lives on holiday hear the drum pounding out of time another protestor has crossed the line to find, the moneys on the other side can I get another amen?
There's a flag wrapped around the score of men a gag, a plastic bag on a monument I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies this is the dawning of the rest of our lives on holiday 'the representative from California has the floor'
zieg heil to the president gasman bombs away is your punishment pulverize the Eiffel towers who criticize your government bang, bang goes the broken glass and kill all the fags that don't agree trails by fire, setting the fire is not a way thats meant for me just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies this is the dawning of the rest of our lives I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies this the dawning of the rest of our lives this is our live's on holiday..." she stopped her foot and looked at him, "that's all of it"

"What is California?" he asked crossing his hands holding them where his chin should have been and resting his elbows on his knees.

"It's a place part of where I live," she mumbled drawing herself up tighter together.

"Tell me about the place where you live."

"I live on the planet earth at my parents manor. On the coast of Charleston with my little brother, a bitch for a sister, and the guy who raised me our butler"

"What about your friends?"

"They live near me, we go to the same school, just about known each other since we were young"

"What about their families?"

Charlie sighed, "Kathryn has a sick preverted older brother, nathan has a bisexual older brother, both of their parents are dead. My parents... "she looked down for a moment, " anyways both of their parents passed away few years ago"

"How"

Charlie sighed again, "Nathan's died in a car crash and Kathryn's died... not so sure how that happened"

"Pity. I would have loved to have sent them to see their parents again," laughed Grievous.

Charlie glared at him for a moment then buried her face into her knee's 'they would might even want to, their parents loved them unlike mine' she thought.

"What about your parents?"

"They're alive..." she mumbled in her knees.

"Do they live in this mannor you live in?"

Charlie sighed once again, "They move around to much, can we talk about something else," she groaned. Charlie hated talking about her parents, she hated them period.

"Very well. Why are you friends with you here?"

"Well..." she stopped to think, she didn't even know.

"I'm waiting..."

"They just came." she mumbled.

"Where were they when they came with you?"

Charlie glared at him, "What does it matter to you anyway"

"I'm just curious..."

She shook her head, "change the subject,"

"Why do you hate me?" he leaned back some waiting to hear the answer.

Charlie shook her head and gave him a you idiot look, "you don't know?"

"Why don't you enlighten me." he laughed.

"Why don't you go fuck yourself!" she hissed at him.

"That's would be kind of difficult." he said coolly getting to his feet.

Charlie glared at him for a moment then rested her head back on her knees.

"Just stating the obvious!"

Charlie looked up at him, "Then go pretend, like you pretend I care about you!" she yelled glaring at him.

Grievous growled and left the cell locking the door behind him.

Charlie watched him go, "Why do I get the feeling that I'm going to regret that..."
