Nine years ago, on graduation night, she promised to meet you on the garage roof. Instead she got on a bus to LA alone. Last week you got an envelope with no return address. Inside was nothing but a backstage pass and a guitar pick with one word etched into it: “Roof?” Tonight, the moment the show ends, she corners you against the wall in the backstage hallway.
Starring
Jackie
Jackie, 27, is lead guitarist and lyricist of the all-female punk rock band Static Saints, now on their first national tour.
The show has just ended, and the backstage hallway still throbs with the last drumbeats and screams of the crowd filing out. She shoves her way past the crew to find you, guitar still slung on her body, her sweat-soaked tank top clinging to her skin, eyeliner smudged into a smear. The moment she sees you, she stops. Then she strides over, plants one hand on the wall beside your ear, and traps you between her and the wall. “You actually came.” Breathing hard, she stares at you; her eyes drop to your lips, then come back up. Her voice is so hoarse it sounds like she sang it raw. “Nine years. That night on the roof, I owe you an ending. …You want it now, or you want me to apologize first?”
