Music and Friendship, What More Do I Need? Part Ten

posted by Peaceandlove67

One day, Erin and Paul had a major disagreement. Pretty soon, it got really ugly. Erin pretended she needed to use the restroom so that she could cry. When she came out, Allie said, "Erin, you've been in there a long time. Are you okay?" Erin said, "No, I'm not." Allie asked, "What happened?" Erin said, "Paul and I got into an argument." Allie said, "Oh, no. I'm so sorry. What were you two arguing about?" Erin said, "I don't want to talk about it." Then, she walked away. It was an awful feeling, arguing with her best friend. She had to make up with him. She just had to! She couldn't lose her best friend, not again! She already lost her first best friend, Barry. She couldn't lose Paul, too! The weather was quite pleasant, and their science teacher decided to have class outside. Toward the end of class, Erin saw a couple of bullies being mean to Paul. Suddenly, they were throwing rocks at him. Erin quickly rose to her feet and shouted, "Oh, no! Not on my watch!" She punched one of the bullies in the nose, causing it to bleed. She glared at them and said, "I better not see this again, or next time, it won't just be a nose!" The teacher winked at her and said, "I didn't see anything." She smiled. The bell rang, and she turned around, but Paul had already gone inside. At the end of the day, Erin walked down the halls with Allie, and they talked. Erin then spotted Paul at his locker and said to Allie, "Allie, you go on. I'll check on Paul." Allie said, "Okay, cool." Erin walked up to Paul and asked, "Are you okay?" Paul looked at her and asked, "Why did you step in like that?" She said, "They were throwing rocks at you, Paul." He said, "You stood up for me after all those terrible things I said to you." She said, "You're my friend, Paul, arguments or no arguments." He smiled and said, "Thank you. I'm really sorry about what I said." She said, "I'm sorry, too." The two friends hugged. Erin never felt happier. She then said, "You're not hurt, are you?" Paul smiled and said, "No, I'm okay." She said, "That's good." After the bus stopped near Paul's house, Paul said, "Erin, you're my best friend." Erin smiled and said, "You're mine, too, Paul." From that day forward, Erin began to value friendship even more.

ChiliPepperLuv Aw! That's so sweet. Best friends don't agree on everything, but at the end of the day, they're still best friends. I miss having a best friend.

Peaceandlove67 Aw! I'm sure you'll find someone someday.

RetroRock64 I'm sure of that, too. Best friends show up when you're not even looking. That's how I met my best friend. Peaceandlove67, I think this is my favorite part of the story so far.

Peaceandlove67 Well, I'm glad you like it, dude.

Go Cut Your Hair!
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. With his mother's permission, he went to the park with his guitar. He stood near the statue of the town's founder and sang a song that he wrote called "Brainwashed by Corruption." 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. He cried out, "This is not a message of hatred!...

What Do I Do When I'm Having a Bad Day?
On their way to one of their classes, Randall asked John how his plan worked out. John said, "Things didn't go very well." Randall noticed John's black eye. "Holy smokes!" He cried. "What happened to your eye?" John said, "Promise me that you'll keep this between us." Randall said, "I promise." John said, "My mom hit me with her purse." Randall said, "That's terrible. Does it hurt?" John said, "Yeah, it hurts." Randall said, "You really need to consider getting away from your mother." John said, "I don't really have anywhere else to go." Randall asked,...

I'm Going to Change the Attitude of This Town
After school, John talked with his friend, Randall. John said, "Man, I had an interesting dream last night." Randall asked, "What was it?" John said, "John Lennon came to me and told me that I could change the world. I told him that I would start by changing the mentality of this town." Randall looked confused. "What are you going to do?" He asked. John said, "I'm going to change the attitude of this town. I'm going to show them that rock and roll isn't so bad. I'll also promote peace and love." Randall's eyes got big. "Are you crazy?!" He cried....

John's Dream
One night, John had a dream. He was sitting in his bedroom, all alone. He heard a knock on the door and went to answer it. He said, "Hi. Can I help you?" The man standing at the door said, "Hello, there. I'm John Lennon." Teenaged John laughed and said, "Yeah right!" Lennon stood firm. He said, "What you are seeing here is my spirit." John said, "If you're truly John Lennon, come in here and prove it." Lennon played the guitar and sang "Imagine." John said, "Okay, works for me." Lennon asked the boy his name. "John," he replied. After chatting for a few minutes, John said, "I knew...

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 by 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 music of the citizens of Devils Garden. The citizens of Devils Garden considered rock music "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 year earlier. John was...
