Going Back To the Past

"What's all of this Mark asked while coming into the room.
"It's my old life" I replied
"There's some cool shit in here," he said
"Well I was a pretty cool kid, you should have seen me. I had long hair and baggy jeans and a ton of makeup" I laughed at the thought of myself
"Woah Man, is this who I think it is?" Mark was holding a picture frame with a signed Green day ticket and a picture me, Vic and Billie Joe Armstrong.
"Who Billie?" I jokingly asked
"Wait you're telling me you've met Billie Joe. as in the lead man of Green Day?" Mark look as if I had betrayed him.
"It was in the late 90's they played a show here and I went."
"You have to tell me what it was like," Mark demanded
"Maybe some other time I think it's time for dinner." I avoided telling him the story so I didn't have to talk about Vic.

Vic had gotten tickets for his birthday. Knowing that I loved Green Day, he asked me to go. Now that I think of it, that was our first date. That night was a night of firsts. First concert, first time meeting an idol, First date, first kiss, and the first time I had feelings for Vic

We walked downstairs to find my parents watching T.V in the living room. "Mom, can I take your car out for dinner? Megan has played a git together with a few people from high school"
"Yea go have fun" I grabbed her keys and left for Megan's house. Megan loved having people over and entertaining. Naturally, when I told her I was coming back she wanted to throw a party.

Megan still lived in the same house she grew up in, her parents gave it to her when she got married. Now they live in Arizona, which is where they were both from. The house couldn't have look any different. They had painted and remodeled. As we pulled into the driveway you could see back into the back yard, there were so many people."I thought this was just dinner with a few friends?" Mark asked. "So did I" I replied

We got out of the car and walked into the house, There were only a few people in the living room, none of which I recognized. "Where's Megan?" I asked them "she's in the backyard, doing her thing" I lead myself through the dining room into the kitchen then to the back yard.

Megan greeted us "You guys got here just in time!" she Exclaimed."There are Beer, adult punch and wine, over there, then the burgers and dogs will be up for a minute." she said while pointing and showing us where we would find drinks. Then someone yelled for her, "Just make yourselves at home" with getting a word in she had left.

This wasn't dinner this was a party, a party that I don't think I was prepared for. I walked around by myself while Mark took a Phone call in the house. I don't think anyone knew I would be here, Everyone that I passed looked shocked or unsure if it was really me. I ended up talking to a few of my old friends when I heard "Annabel?" I turned to see...
