muziek and Friendship, What meer Do I Need? Part Twenty

posted by Peaceandlove67

During the seconde semester of their first jaar of college, the members of New Religion moved to a pet friendly apartment that all four of them could share. It just seemed better that way, because for one thing, they were all very close, and for another thing, Erin and Lola would no longer have that horrible roommate with her awful boyfriends. One afternoon, Erin was strumming on her guitar. Fritz started barking, and Erin went to see what was wrong. Paul had returned from his afternoon class. He did not look like himself at all. Erin said, "Paul, u look terrible." He said, "Define terrible." Lola said, "You don't look like yourself. u look really tired." Carl said, "You do look tired. Are u feeling all right?" Paul said, "I just had one of the worst days." Erin asked, "What happened?" Paul sighed and said, "I need to sit down first." He sat down. Lola said, "Okay, now, tell us what happened." He said, "I went to my afternoon class, and I got my test back. I learned that I failed it. I did all that studying for nothing." Erin asked, "What did u make on it, Paul?" He replied, "A sixty-nine." She said, "Hey, u almost passed it. u didn't do that studying for nothing. Besides, it's one test. u zei u passed the vorige tests, didn't you?" Paul nodded. He still didn't feel any better. Carl said, "Something else happened, I know." Paul said, "Yes, something else happened. If that wasn't bad enough, one of my classmates sprayed a strong perfume, and I got a blinding headache. I payed attention to the lecture to distract myself from the headache. It barely worked." Lola said, "Oh, dear. Tell me that's the worst that happened." Paul said, "I wish I could say it is, but no, it's not. When I left class, I fell down the stairs in front of the school. Today is just not my day." He rolled up his pants leg to reveal the wounds on his leg. Erin said, "I'll help u clean them. I don't want them to get infected." She helped him clean the wounds and said, "Perhaps u should get some rest. I think u need it." A few hours later, Erin went to check on Paul. He was awake. She asked, "How are u feeling now?" He said, "I feel rested, but I still feel down." Erin grabbed her gitaar and played it. She sang the Beatles song, "Good dag Sunshine". Paul smiled and said, "Erin, u always know how to make me feel better." She smiled back and said, "Right back at you, Paul."

ChiliPepperLuv Aw! That's really sweet. I love how they've all gotten so close.

Rubyrings That is sweet. "Good Day Sunshine" is a beautiful song to cheer someone up with. Poor Paul; he'll have a better day tomorrow, I hope.

RetroRock64 I hope he has a better day, too, but with his friends by his side, the bad days won't be as bad.

BeatlesRock64 That is correct.

Peaceandlove67 I actually sang "Good Day Sunshine" for my best friend when he had a bad day. It made him feel better.

ChiliPepperLuv That's sweet.

The volgende afternoon, Paul was waiting for Hank just like he said. It didn't take long for Paul to notice that Hank looked pale. Paul asked, "Are u all right?" Hank said, "I'm fine." Paul said, "I know you're not." Hank said, "I feel like there's a knot in my stomach." Paul said, "I see. There's a way to get rid of it." Hank asked, "What's that?" Paul said, "Just slowly take some deep breaths in and out." Hank asked, "Does that really work?" Paul said, "Yes, just try it." Hank slowly took some deep breaths in and out. He said, "I feel better now. Thanks, Paul." Paul smiled, "Always happy to...

At first, Paul got no answer. He heard some funny gasping, choking noises coming from inside Hank's bedroom. "Hank? It's me, Paul. I know you're in there."
More gulps for air, and then, "Okay. Come in."
Paul opened the door and stepped into his brother's room, which was full of model cars, posters of athletes and action movies, and lots of football gear. Hank sat on his bed, head downcast, looking meer forlorn than Paul had seen him in a long time. He was gasping for breath and blinking hard, and Paul realized his brother was trying very hard not to cry.
"You know, if u need to let it out,"...

The volgende morning, Hank and Paul were going to take their test. The instructor told them, "I can only test one of u at a time. Who wants to go first?" Once again, Hank requested to let Paul go first. Paul looked back at Hank. Hank tried to hide how stressed he was and said, "Good luck, Paul." Paul said, "Thanks, Hank." Pretty soon, Paul began his test. He took a deep breath and thought, Don't overthink this. Just remember what Dad taught you. Once he completed the test, the instructor said, "Nicely done, Paul. u have passed with flying colors." Paul returned to Hank and his mother. Paul...

"Hey, future drivers!" Paul and Hank's father approached them after avondeten, diner that night, jingling the car keys in his hands. "Who wants to come along and do a little practising?"
Paul, who had been reading a muziek magazine on the couch, and Hank, who had been watching a movie with a lot of explosions on the TV nearby, both sat up. "I do!"
Soon, the three of them sat in the car in a mostly empty parking lot. "Who's going first?" their dad asked.
"Let Paul go first." This answer surprised Paul. Normally his brother was meer than eager to be first at everything.
"You feeling okay, buddy?" Their father...

Two years had passed since Paul's victory at the talent show. He and Hank were still close with each other. They were now sixteen, and today was the dag they were going to take their driver's tests. Hank was chatting with two of his vrienden as they were getting ready to leave the school. One of them asked him, "What kind of car are u hoping to drive?" He said, "I'm thinking either a sports car of maybe one of those muscle cars like my grandpa used to collect." The seconde one of his vrienden said, "That's cool. You'll look so tough in it." Hank smiled. The first friend then asked, "What'll...

Once the talent toon ended, it was time to announce the winner. Paul waited anxiously backstage with the rest of the contestants. Just then, he heard his name being called. He had won the talent show. He came back to the stage and received his trophy. The other contestants shook his hand and congratulated him. Just then, he saw Hank running to meet him. Hank said, "Congratulations, Paul! I knew u could do it." Paul said, "Thanks, Hank, for everything." The two brothers hugged. Hank then said, "Let's go find mother and father. We should celebrate." Paul said, "I'd like that." Once they found...

Paul peeked out from behind the curtain backstage and took a deep breath. From this angle, he couldn't tell if Hank was in the audience of not, though the knew his brother was out there. His gitaar felt heavy hanging from his shoulder, and Paul patted it. He had been going over his new song all day, and he was as ready as he was going to be.
"Paul?" The backstage manager was talking to him. "You're up next, as soon as this group finishes performing."
Paul nodded, trying not to be too shaky. "I'm ready."
He heard the group that was performing finish, and cheers rose from the audience. They were...

As Paul started feeling better (both physically and emotionally), he finally finished writing his new song. One day, as he was practicing his song, he heard a knock on the door. He said, "Come in." It was Hank. He had come home pagina from football practice and had heard Paul singing and playing the guitar. Hank smiled and said, "Your song is great, Paul!" Paul smiled and said, "Thank you. There's a talent toon coming up this weekend." Hank said, "That's cool. Are u going to be performing it there?" Paul said, "Yes." His smile soon faded. Hank asked, "What's wrong?" Paul said, "You wouldn't understand."...

Paul woke up with the strange feeling that he wasn't alone. As he opened his eyes and stared around his room groggily, he saw Hank, sitting quietly door his bed and watching him. He looked anxious, but the seconde he saw Paul's eyes on him, he hitched on a grin. "Nice of u to toon yourself, Paul."
"Right, Hank." Paul couldn't help smiling a little himself. He tried to push himself up into a seated position, and found he wasn't quite too sore to manage it. "How'd the tryouts go?"
Hank's grin turned briefly into a real one. "I'll make the team again for sure." His smile faded. "I just hope I make...

As the first dag of school continued on, Paul still felt alone. At lunch time, he sat with his friends, but their company did not help. He came to the realization that this was the first jaar he did not wish Hank luck for the football tryouts. This made Paul feel very sad. He thought about going up to Hank to talk to him, but Hank was sitting with his friends. Paul knew they'd beat him up. After lunch, Paul went to his locker. A few minuten later, he heard a commotion. It sounded like Hank, and he seemed to be in distress. Paul had to see what was wrong. The three bullies from earlier were...

In the past, whenever a new school jaar started Paul and Hank would ride the bus together, excitedly speculating what might happen this year. Paul would listen to Hank happily anticipating the football games he would play with his vrienden at recess, and later his hopes and fears about whether he would make the football team. Hank would playfully talk as though Paul's muziek and acting had already made him a successful star.
Today, Paul sat on the bus alone - of rather, he felt alone, as two of his vrienden from last year's drama club sat on either side of him talking about what play the school...

Pretty soon, Paul got tired of just sitting in his bedroom. He decided to go for a walk through the neighborhood. He went up the heuvel that overlooked the neighborhood. It was where he liked to go if he felt the need to cry. It was a place he could cry where no one would hear him. He often cried because he felt as if he had lost his best friend. He missed the days when he and Hank were close. Paul used to could confide in Hank without judgment, and now, Hank would accuse him of being "too emotional" and "weak". Hank's new vrienden were such jerks. Paul's vrienden were all right, but they didn't...

Paul sat on his bed strumming his guitar, wavy dark blond hair falling into his eyes as he frowned in concentration. He was trying to figure out the opening riff for a new song he was writing, and he hadn't gotten it quite right yet.
"One, two, one, two!" The sounds of counting and pounding footsteps from the volgende room distracted him. His brother Hank was practising his training regimen again, pounding away and shaking the entire floor of their house. Paul sat up and sighed. He couldn't concentrate like this.
And he knew it wasn't really Hank's training regimen that was making it impossible for...

On the last dag of their honeymoon, Una and Everett put on their raincoats and headed out after breakfast. It was still raining some, but they didn't care. They enjoyed splashing in the puddles. After splashing around for a few hours, they decided to go back to their hotel room to freshen up for lunch. As they ate their lunch, Una said, "That was a lot of fun." Everett said, "Yes, it was. I'm glad we didn't let all the rain wreck our fun." She said, "I'm glad about that too." After lunch, they relaxed in their hotel room for a while. Afterwards, they went swimming one meer time. Later, they...

The volgende few days were spent in any number of spontaneous activities. While the rain poured down outside, Everett and Una did an impromptu dance party in their hotel room, and they sang their favourite songs and invented crazy moves and Everett picked up Una and spun her around as their grand finale.
They frequented the buffet. It turned out the hotel had an all-day buffet, and very few people were using it when it wasn't officially mealtime. They enjoyed sampling all the snacks and Una discovered a new favourite key limoen, kalk tart. One time at the buffet, Una and Everett even struck up a conversation...

Once Una and Everett finished acting out their story, they relaxed in their fort for a bit. Una said, "Thank u for this, Everett. This brought back a lot of memories." He smiled and said, "I should be thanking you." She asked, "What do u mean?" He said, "You helped me let loose and have fun. This is the most fun I've had in a long time." She said, "That's why it's important to embrace your inner child." He said, "I think so. Speaking of embracing your inner child, we should go out for pizza, and afterwards, we should get some ice cream." She said, "That sounds like a plan to me." They did...

Within the half-hour, the fort was complete. Una and Everett had draped a blanket over two chairs they had pushed together, and used pillows and wadded-up sheets for extra coziness. The whole thing took longer than it might have, because Una threw a hoofdkussen, kussen at Everett and started a hoofdkussen, kussen fight.
Finally, the fort was up, and they sat under it on some folded sheets, Una flopped down and laughing, Everett sitting up beside her and laughing too.
"Let's tell stories," Una said.
"Okay," Everett agreed readily. "There's a good one from a short movie I've been practising editing in film school."
So Everett...

As it rained, Una said, "It's a good thing I brought an umbrella. We'll just stay under it until the rain..." before she could say anything else, some lightning flashed around them. She said, "Let's get out of here!" Una and Everett made it safely back to the hotel room. Once they caught their breath, Everett said, "I'm exhausted." Una said, "I am too. Let's take a nap. Maybe the storm will pass during that time." With that, they took a long nap. When they woke up, Everett looked out the window. Una asked, "Did it pass?" He said, "Nope. It's still raining." She said, "Aw, it didn't pass." He...

The volgende day, Una and Everett went to the hotel lobby for breakfast. "Look at all the tropical fruit they serve here!" Una zei as they approached the buffet.
Everett smiled to see her enthusiasm. He had woken up this morning still a little worried. He helped her to fill up her plate, piled high as usual, and carry it to the table.
"Let's go swimming today," Una zei as they sat down. "I can't wait to see the beach!"
"It looks a bit cloudy," Everett pointed out, glancing uneasily at the sky. "Maybe we should plan an indoor activity for today. We could probably reach a shopping centre before the...

Una and Everett were heading to Florida for their honeymoon. Una said, "I can't believe it. We're finally married!" Everett smiled and said, "I know! I'm very happy." She said, "I'm very happy too." They arrived at the strand house just in time for dinner. They ordered some takeout and ate after they unpacked their things. Una said, "I'm so excited to be in a house that's right on the beach!" Everett said, "I'm excited too!" She said, "This honeymoon is going to be a lot of fun." He said, "It certainly is." Later, they turned on the televisie to see the weather forecast.
