Greta.. Just the sound of her voice I knew it was her. God how I missed her. The summer of 1967 was a dream...
...
1968,somewhere in a little lost town
- Patti come on! Don't make her wait!
- Come on as if Terry can't wait 5 minutes!
Knocks on the door
- Terry hi
- I've been honking haven't you guys heard me!
-Yea but Patti is fucking slow!
- You guys I'm ready I dont know why you are so cranky today!
- Because we are gonna be late to the show!
They both said it in unison and they were right... It was already 12:00 and the drive to the bar was an hour...
- You guys why do we live in a hole! I mean we always go to the secret bar so why dont we move?
They both looked at me as if I was crazy..
- Patti stop saying nonsense... you know we can't. Terry has a husband and I have to find one before my parents send me away...
Her voice dropped from excitement to scared. Carson was right though. Even if we were a part of the beginning of the revolution it was far from being done. With are disappointed faces, we left to go to the show.
In the car I said:
- I'm sorry I said that stupid thing before... I think Lesley Gore is getting in my head a bit..
- It's fine.. but we all have to be careful the world wont change in a day...
- Yea, Carson is right.. I have to tell you guys something about that..
I looked at Terry with the most immense curiosity..
- Richard told me it was my last night out... He thinks you are bad influences on me and he wants me to be ready to have a family.
- Wait Terry are you saying you are pregnant?
- No but I think it wont be long....
- Can we still come visit you? , said Carson
- I think it's best not for now..
- Oh... , we both answered sad
- Then let's make tonight count! Let's make it the best night ever..
- I will miss you both so much.. I can't wait for it to change...
The rest of the car ride was pretty quiet. I think we all realized that are secret lives weren't ready to become acceptable and "normal".
We listened to the radio when a Lesley song came and made us a bit more emotional then it usually does...You dont own me
Don't try to change me in any way
You dont own me
Don't tie me down cause id never stay
I don't tell you what to say
I don't tell you what to do
So just let me be myself
That's all I ask of you
