A Danomic Dream – chapter 1

Jump to Comments

Chapter 1:
“Hey dude. You ready for the big gig?” A voice behind Dane sounded. Behind him was a tall bald headed man named Mick Scarnelle, who was also cofounders of Danomic Memories. This man wasn’t exactly skinny but he wasn’t fat either. Mick can be a real bully at times, but that’s just because of his bad attitude.
“Yeah Mick. Lets get this show on the road.” Dane replied getting up from his comfortable seat, that he’d been sitting in since he arrived. Dane is a pretty wild kind of guy when he has a reason to be. This one man is a really nice guy when you get to know him, but if you mess with him, he’s your worst nightmare. With his tallness and strength he could beat up a thirty year old with a single punch to the jaw, but an underhook was his specialty. Being about eighteen, he was a bit younger than Mick by about three years.
Dane, as he got up, walked his way toward the door to the stage. But, before he went out, he stared at the door remembering his childhood dreams and how he accomplished them. Remembering his past was a really easy duty for him to do. All of his songs are based upon his past and what he believes will happen in the future. He never knew what was going to happen later that night, but it will be a great surprise for him.
Mick looked towards Dane and said. “Well man, time to get a going. We got a concert coming up. A big one at that. We have to play in front of fifty-thousand people out there. This will be the most important night in our whole career’s in playing songs. You better get ready because we’re up next.” Mick looked to the left and saw the award for best band. Turning his head again, he looked to the rest of the band and talked again. “You guys ready too? Without all of you, we would’ve be here right now. This is the battle of the bands, and we need to get up there and show all them people what we’re made of. Now, who’s with me?” He said extending a hand out to them, with the palm face down. As he were to do so, the other members went over to them, and extended their hands out. But it wasn’t the time to get pumped up yet, because they still have to play for the crowd. Dane extended his hand out to the door and when he got close to it, he began to turn the knob. This was a huge event, leading to an appearance.
As they stepped out of the door and walked up the stairs to the stage, they could hear fans screaming. Dane stepped out first with his guitar in hand, followed by Mick with his own guitar and the others to the drums. Hearing the fans screaming out Dane’s name, he raised his guitar upwards. Throwing his guitar strap over his shoulder, he would’ve signaled to begin playing. Before the whole band could even start it up, Danielle Sewelle, Dane’s girlfriend from a while back, arrived. Dane being shocked would’ve began jamming with his guitar before he saw the sight of Danielle’s eyes. Dane seeing her arriving, came to a stop, but with that, Mick ran into him trying to do his part in the band, not knowing that Dane had stopped. Running into Dane, Mick tried to hold him up on the stage, but the huge collision knocked Dane down and off the stage. As Dane fell, he hit his head on the steel in front of the stage. Hitting the steel, he fell directly down onto the floor, with blood dripping from his head. At that exactly moment, he passed out into a coma with Danielle watching in terror. Danielle had come to see Dane and his band play for the first time, but her arrival had ruined the whole concert. Danomic Memories, would’ve been disqualified, but their performance was held off until Dane came back into his regular state.
Dane being in coma, was lifted up slowly by a couple of the band members and hauled out of the location. Dane was threw into a limo where he laid on the way to the hospital. The band watched as Dane was driven away to the hospital. Danielle on the hand got in her mustang and drove back home. Danielle didn’t exactly remember who Dane was, but she knew that they had to have been friends, trusting her instincts. Danielle driving her car down the road, began to remember something. All of a sudden it popped into her head that it was she that had been dating him only fifteen years ago. She also remembered the big move that occurred, when she had lost the love of her life to the moving situation. Just remembering those details made her realize, that she and he had been going out at one time, and it was time for her to sit by Dane’s bedside and try to get to him enough to express her feelings again. Once again, she turned around down by the gas station. She would’ve changed her direction from north to south, on the way to the hospital that Dane was going to. Danielle was a little shocked by the whole, Dane getting injured thing after remembering what had happened to them back in eighth grade. But on the way to the hospital, a drunk man around the age of thirty-four showed up in the middle of the road, getting out of his car. Danielle never noticed it before she ended up there, but another huge accident occurred. While Danielle was trying to turn the curve, another drunk driver was speeding down the intersection hitting a speed of a hundred miles per hour, and crashed into her car. This accident smashed her back windshield, and the bumper of the car was torn off. Luckily Danielle didn’t get hurt, but the two-million dollar car, caught in flames about three minutes after Danielle rolled out of the car, with blood streaming from her head, from the glass breaking on her. Danielle was shocked when she got out of the car and noticed that the drunk man was laying in a puddle of blood, with a piece of glass smashed right through his chest, just barely missing his heart. That man was extremely lucky that he wasn’t killed in that ridicules accident that could’ve been prevented if he were to keep sober long enough to drive the car out to his place.
But suddenly, the same accident that was carrying Dane, showed up at the scene. Dane was extremely unconscious, but he muttered a few words every here and there. The man that was involved in the crash, was also unconscious but wasn’t breathing even a single breath. One of the paramedics opened his ambulance door and asked. “Hey. What’s going on here?” All Danielle could do is stare down at the man and feel sorry for him. All she did is turn the curve, what could she have done to prevent it? Danielle suddenly was able to strike her eyes to the paramedic’s.
“What do you think happened? I was on my way to see Dane at the hospital, when this drunk driver drove down the interstate at over a hundred miles per hour. But anyway, what is Dane still doing in that ambulance? I thought he’d be in the hospital by now.” Danielle spoke very clearly not giving a single breath, until she was done. This was a real shock to both her and the paramedic having two accidents between a single couple only thirty minutes between each other.
“Well. I heard that there was a drunk driver racing home to get home in time for his soaps. I was rushing up here as soon as I can, but I couldn’t find the man anywhere. I guess he was here all along huh? But either way, Dane’s in there because of all that. Do you want a ride there yourself, since you don’t have a car anymore?” the doctor asked with extreme caution. Danielle thought that man was a little weird, but she’d ride with anyone to be by Dane’s side. Without though, Danielle nodded quickly, not even thinking about what might happen later that night. Danielle could even see a couple men standing there over the dead man’s body just staring down at the damage that was done. Too bad for Danielle, it was that man’s family standing there. The doctor grabbed a hold of the handle and pulled the door open, so Danielle could get in and sit by her old boyfriend. As she got in, she looked once more at her car, still in flames, and the man laying there wishing she wouldn’t have turned around and went that way. It was around 6:00 PM, that this accident took place, and it was a real surprise to everyone why it took place.
Danielle was in the ambulance while it was driving down the highway to the hospital, when she realized that Dane’s guitar was right there laying next to him. She cared a bit too much about Dane to even think about using his guitar at anytime while he’s unconscious. But as they were coming to the turn, the door suddenly popped open. Danielle was sliding down near where the door was. She tried to hold onto the door, but she fell right out with Dane falling with her. On her way down, she could remember this happening when they were little, and he was there for her when she was hurt. Danielle thought it may be a good idea to lay on the side of the road until somebody sights her, since the ambulance was already gone. All of a sudden a man driving a black pickup truck pulled over by them, and wondered what had happened to them. He slowly turned the handle of the car around and got out of his truck. This was a little amazing to him, that there were two, one conscious and one unconscious. He lowered his arm down towards Danielle and asked.
“Hey. Do you need any help there? I see you’ve fallen out of that ambulance, and I thought it would be cool of me to help you up and get you back on the road.” The tall man with a gray mustache had said to her. This man was broad shouldered and long gray hair in a ponytail. “He was definitely a biker,” thought Danielle as she grabbed his hand and was lifted up. Danielle pulled Dane up with her, as she stared at the man mysteriously.
“Are you really here to help us out, or are you looking for a hitchhiker?” Danielle said not thinking about the actions that might be taken by the trucker. Danielle then just looked away to the truck and just studied it. With a little caution, she opened the back of the truck, and got into the trunk of the truck and pulled Dane up there as well. “Can you take us to the hospital. My boyfriend here, had an accident, and then the ambulance fell apart on us. So we need your help getting us there. Will you?” Danielle asked beggingly. This was a little amazement to Danielle, what the trucker said to reply to her.
“Yeah sure. But only if you answer one question.” The trucker said staring Danielle in the eyes evilly.
“Yeah, anything.” Danielle said nervously staring him back in the eyes. Danielle was a little frightened to see that face staring her down, but I guess it was the only way to keep her from staying there the whole night.
“Why should I even take you there? I mean, with your rude remarks and all.” he asked pulling his eyes away from hers.
“Well. I thought you were to try and pick me up and everything. I was told to never let anyone pick you up off the side of the road even if you were there all night. But anyway, it’s because we’re in trouble, and my boyfriend Dane and me need some help to get the hospital.”
“Fine by me. Stay right there, and I’ll get you there in no time.” that man said going to the front of the car and opened the door. Getting in, he would’ve turned the car on and looked behind him at the little love birds. He just laughed and drove the way to the hospital.
