Taste of Grunge - One-Shots

I'll be the new kid for a while - part 1- Eddie Vedder

"Damn, where did I put that stupid..." I mumble searching in the boxes scattered around the house that I still have to clean up. I just moved to Seattle and tonight my friends decided to have a party, but my favorite dress can't be found. I keep looking everywhere, under the bed, in my suitcase, in the back of the wardrobe...nothing. I sit on the ground, looking around. What a mess. Sooner or later I have to decide to clean all this shit. Suddenly my phone rings.

"Hey, Y/N! Are you ready?" Jeff asks me in his shrill voice.

"Oh, hey...actually no, I can't find my black dress and I'm freaking out"

"Come on, you'll be beautiful even with another dress! I'm almost there, come outside!"

I panic and quickly put on my Docs, a pair of denim shorts and a Ramones t-shirt. Jeff is always late, did he have to be on time tonight?

I hear his horn sound and I run towards his pick up.

"Hey, beauty!" Jeff screams at me smiling. I get in the car and kiss him on the cheek.

"Hey, beaver. It's nice to be here at last"

"So you didn't find your dress?"

"No...who knows where it is"

"Well, you are very pretty...are you going to inaugurate your new apartment tonight?" he asks mocking me, giving me a little nudge.

"How dumb you are."

We arrive in front of Stone's house. The very loud music can be heard from the street, on the porch there are a few people who are smoking. I take the stairs with Jeff, we enter through the front door that was already open and we look around.

"Where the fuck is Stone?" Jeff asks, then in an instant he walks away and I find myself alone. There is really a lot of people, in all the rooms, I decide to follow the music and find myself in the living room. A band is playing in a very small space, they are crowded together, they push and jump and scream and...oh god, there's stink in here. A hand touches my shoulder and I turn around.

"Stoney!!" I screamed clinging to his neck, it was a long time since I had seen him.

"Hey little Y/N! How are you?"

"Well, thank you! I arrived yesterday, we can finally see each other as we once did"

"Come with me, I'll get you something to drink"

Stone leads me into the corridor towards the kitchen, I dodge a couple who is kissing passionately against the wall and another drunk guy who comes at me and almost makes me fall to the ground.

"Watch out, asshole!" Stone screams "Don't pay attention, this is the mood"

He offers me a beer, then we go back to the porch to smoke a cigarette.

"So...did you find an accommodation?" he asks me taking the first puff.

"Yes, a small apartment not far from here. It's very nice, but...it seems that a bomb has exploded inside"

"Well, I guess you'll still have to settle in and clean up everything"

As he speaks to me, my gaze goes to the garden. I see a figure, a boy, sitting on a piece of wood. He's writing something on a notebook.

"Who is he?" I ask Stone, pointing to the unknown boy.

"Ah, him? He's Edward, the new boy"

"...the new boy."

"Yes, you know I was telling you that we were looking for a new singer for the band...this motherfucker just fell from the sky. From the sky of San Diego, to be exact"
