If I Stay Page #3

You okay?

No.

You wanna hit up

my closet?

Your closefs terrifying.

I don't even wanna go.

Come on,

he's just a guy, Mia.

Yeah, but he's the first guy I've

ever gone on a maybe-date with

and I don't know whether

to wear date clothes or

casual clothes or...

Just wear, you know,

something you feel good in.

And if this Adam dude doesn't

see how amazing you are,

then he's a total.

Shithead.

Yeah.

Oh, I think

I'm gonna puke.

Better before than during.

You must be Adam.

Uh, yeah. I am, yeah.

Nice threads.

Come on in.

I'm the old man, Denny.

I know. You were in

Nasty Bruises, right?

Oh, wow, you're

impressing me already.

Well, I have your CDs.

You're the one.

They make great coasters,

right? Come on.

Adam's here!

Is that Mia?

Yeah. That's our

little rock and roll.

She was Nasty Bruises'

original groupie.

Oh, no. Is he telling

you old war stories'?

Hey.

We should probably go.

'Kay.

'Kay, you kids be

careful out there.

I hear it gets pretty wild

at the symphony.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Bye.

Your parents seem

pretty cool.

So they tell me.

Seriously,

I respect any musician

who just leaves it all

on the stage like that.

She was awesome.

Thought you were a little

bored there in the beginning.

No. That snoring was

the lady next to me.

I loved every minute of it.

All right, Hall,

so what's your story?

How did parents like yours

end up having a kid like you'?

Well, I was certainly bred

to be a rocker. Mmm-hmm.

But I have this theory

that I was switched at birth.

Okay. That explains it.

No, but seriously.

I don't know, I've always

kind of felt like

this Martian in my family.

I don't look like

either of my parents.

My mom's this tough chick

and my dads all outgoing

and Iwent and chose

Beethoven and the cello.

When I was eight,

I saw this old video

of the Ramones playing

I Wanna Be Sedated.

And it felt like

my head exploded.

And I was like, "I have to

learn to play the guitar."

So, my uncle hooked me up

with this old Fender.

Yeah, that thing

saved my life.

You didn't really get those tickets

from a family friend, did you'?

That was two weeks

of pizza delivery tips.

Why?

Why me?

Because I like

to watch you play.

You go to another place.

And you're beautiful.

You get this crease in

your forehead right there.

Why do I have this feeling you're

about to mess up my entire life?

A little mess

never hurt anybody.

A week later, Adam

invited me to see his band play.

Liz, Mia. Mia, Liz.

Ah, I got to change the tube

on this amp. I'll see ya in there.

0K3'! -

One, two, three, four!

Whoo!

I wasn't Iookin' for something

To sink my teeth into

I didn't know what I wanted
