Muzik and Friendship, What lebih Do I Need? Part Seventeen

posted by Peaceandlove67

One night, Erin was walking downtown with her band mates and her new dog, Fritz. Suddenly, a boy of a similar age stepped out of the shadows. Erin instantly recognized him. She said, "Hello, Phil." Phil said, "Erin, I never thought I'd see anda again. You're too busy hanging with this Paul guy." She said, "For your information, we happen to be best Friends and band mates." Phil sneered, "Yeah. He's the one who got anda into this devil music." She said, "Paul didn't get me into it. I got into it on my own, and I highly doubt it's devil music, because it brought me and my Friends together, and it saved my life." Phil pulled out a gun and pointed it at Paul. "NO!" Erin cried, and she leaped in the air and pushed Paul out of the way. A shot rang out, and Erin and Paul landed on the concrete. Fritz ran up to Phil and bit his leg. He dropped his gun and ran away. Carl and Lola were in shock. They rushed to Erin and Paul. Lola asked, "Are anda guys okay?" Paul got up and said, "I'm fine, thanks to Erin." Erin was unable to get up. In the light from jalan lamps, they could see a gunshot wound in her upper thigh. Blood was streaming down her leg. Thankfully, the hospital was just across the street. Paul carried her to the hospital. He refused to let go until someone from the hospital took her in. Erin waited anxiously to hear what the doctor was going to say. When he came in, he said, "You're going to be fine. The bullet isn't in very deep. We'll just remove it and send anda home." Once that was done, Erin limped outside, where her band mates and her dog were waiting anxiously. Carl asked, "Are anda going to be all right?" Erin said, "I'm going to be just fine." Paul said, "I'm glad for that. I want to thank anda for saving my life." She said, "You're welcome." Paul carried her home. When they arrived, her aunt and uncle were horrified to see that Erin was hurt. Her aunt asked, "Who did this to you?" Erin replied, "Phil." Her uncle asked, "Why did he do that?" She said, "He wanted to kill Paul, and I took the bullet for him." Paul said, "I'm glad she saved my life, but I wish she didn't have to get hurt doing it." She said, "But I'm alive." He said, "And I'm glad for that." The seterusnya day, when Erin was resting in her bed, her grandmother paid her a visit. She said, "Erin, your aunt just told me what happened. How are anda feeling, dear?" Erin said, "It really hurts when I think about it, which is all the time." Her grandmother said, "I understand that anda took the bullet for your friend, Paul." She said, "Yes, Grandma, I did. Phil wanted to kill him, and I wasn't going to let that happen." Her grandmother said, "I'm very disappointed in Phil. He's become so much like your horrible grandfather. He's not what a Christian should be!" Erin liked this version of her grandmother. "Where was that version of Grandma when Grandpa murdered my father? Where was she when Grandpa murdered Barry and beat me?" Those where the things that Erin wondered, but that wasn't important now. The important thing was the better version of her grandmother was here now.

ChiliPepperLuv That was very heroic of Erin. I also like how Fritz is so protective of Erin and Paul. Phil is a sick bastard! Paul never did anything to him, and I bet he had no remorse when he shot Erin instead!

Rubyrings I know! What kind of a jerk dismisses someone like Phil did to Erin in the last story, and then tries to kill her new friend because he doesn't like him!? He doesn't even have the excuse of liking Erin, because I don't think he did! What business is it of his who Erin is friends with? She's certainly not going to be friends with him!

RetroRock64 Yeah! That's just sick, man!

BeatlesRock64 Phil is right up there with Mark David Chapman on the list of people I hate the most!

Rubyrings I agree with you! And Pastor Thomas from But Rock and Roll Is Evil? goes on there, too!

Getting Into Mischief
All too soon, it was time to start school again. Allen and I had a couple of classes together, but the one I remember, that I wish I could forget, is English class. Our teacher, Mr. Goodman, was an alcoholic. He would sneak alcohol in a susu carton and drink it behind his desk. He didn't really teach, which is why we didn't like him. The only thing Allen and I liked about this class was our friend, Peter. Peter could be best described as "no genius, but smart." He was best known for his Liverpoolian accent. The girls would describe him as "not as charming as the Beatles,...

The seterusnya day, it was June 19, 1988, my seventeenth birthday. Allen and Liz picked out a card. Well, Liz picked out the card. Allen just signed it along with Liz. Allen said, "We don't know what anda have atau don't have, so the card was the only option." I said, "I'm fine with that. I don't expect anything fancy." Uncle Bob then came in. He said, "I've brought anda a present on my way home." I asked, "What is it?" He said, "Close your eyes, and don't peek." I closed my eyes. A few moments later, he said, "Okay, now, open...

Finding a Way to Unwind
Later that day, I was walking down the jalan with Allen. He did most of the talking. I mostly listened. He then said, "John, you're a little quiet. What's wrong?" I said, "Nothing." He said, "I know something's wrong." I told him about my nightmare and how it forced me to get up early. Allen said, "That's a terrible nightmare." I said, "I tell myself that I'm fine, but I'm not sure if I am." He said, "You're obviously traumatized from almost being killed." I said, "Yeah." He said, "You know what anda need, a way to relax. Have anda ever tried camping?" I said, "No." He...

Why Do anda Expect Me to Help You? Did anda Forget What anda Have Done to Me?
It was summer, and I was sitting outside with Allen, talking about nothing. Just then, Uncle Bob called for me to come inside. When I came in, he said, "Pastor Thomas is on the phone. He asked to speak with you." I said, "Tell him I died." Uncle Bob said, "I don't think he'd fall for that." Reluctantly, I picked up the phone. "Hello," I said. Pastor Thomas said, "Hello, John. Is that you?" I said, "Yeah. Who's to know?" He said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I need your help. Lately, I have been having trouble keeping...

He had long hair like me, but he had a beard, and his hair was darker than mine. He appeared to be around my age, sixteen atau so. When I finished the song, I said, "You're a good singer." He said, "Thank you. You're quite good yourself." I said, "Thanks." He asked, "Did I disturb you?" I said, "Oh, no, no, no! I Cinta it when people sing along." He smiled. After a moment of silence, he said,...

One day, John decided to go to the park to spark change in Devil's Garden. He thought that maybe his plan would work in the park. It obviously wasn't going to work at the church.

Unfortunately, the song did not get any praise. His school mates, save for Randall, began throwing rocks at him. They even shouted, "Go cut your hair!" John begged them to stop.

Outcast of Devils Garden
During the popularity of Christian rock in the 1980's, in a small town ironically called Devils Garden, lived a teen sejak the name of John Wilde. He was only sixteen, and he was totally into rock and roll. He was often shunned for his taste in music, for he was not into the Muzik of the citizens of Devils Garden. The citizens of Devils Garden considered rock Muzik "music for Satanists." John begged to differ, but he couldn't change their minds. His family was no help, either. He was a boy without a father, as his father had died in a car accident tahun earlier. John was...
