AUTHORS NOTE: This is my first submission. This story resembles how I would have liked to lose my virginity, alas; it did not turn out this way. Any kind of feedback would be wonderful, so please let me know what you thought about it!
I paced up and down my dorm room, examining the flyer in my hand. A local punk venue was having a concert tonight, and I debated whether or not I should go. Since I had nothing else to do, I grabbed my car keys and started out the door.
I got in my car and drove to the venue that was premiering a new local band tonight. I talked to my friend Luke earlier (who happened to be the lead singer), and he told me about the show. Apparently they were pretty good, practicing every night for the past three months. I was a little excited as I pulled into a parking space just outside the venue.
I arrived early, because I wanted to hang out with Luke before the show. The door was locked and I had to knock several times before I got an answer. The door opened swiftly and Luke greeted me with a nice sucker punch to the side of the head. Never a man to back down from a fight, I tackled him down to the ground and started to pummel his sides. After a minute of brawling, we got up and he gave me a bear hug.
"I haven't seen you in forever man!" Luke said, with a delighted smile on his face. "How is college treating you these days?"
"It's alright, but it gets kinda boring sometimes", I said. He threw his arm around me and led me inside, "let me show you around man."
It was a nice venue, with a raised stage and pretty fancy backlights. The thing about Punk Rock, you never even really needed a stage. I had spent years attending shows in peoples basements, abandoned buildings, even a closed library. Having an actual stage was a luxury, and I was going to cherish it.
I headed towards the bathroom, and relieved myself in a urinal. I washed my hands and glanced at myself in the mirror. I'm not a bad looking guy, but I would look quite strange to any normal person. I'm pretty tall, about 6'2, with hazel eyes and short brown hair, which I had spiked up. I have a decent build, I'm not buff, but I'm tone. I wore a leather jacket, with metal studs lining the collar. I had very tight fitting pants on, that showed the curves of my legs very distinctly.
I walked out onto the stage and took a look at some of the sound equipment. Luke and his band are very good musicians, but not very good at setting up the equipment. I fiddled with the knobs on an amp, occasionally plucking the string of a bass guitar to make sure it sounded right.
"Hey, you wanna help me move a half-stack man!?" Luke called to me from down the hall. I finished my work on stage and followed his voice, which led me to a storage room.
Luke was standing on a ladder, trying to remove a very large amp from the top of a large shelf. This struck me as odd, "who the hell would put the half-stack all the way up there!" He shrugged, "I don't know man, but help me get it down will ya?"
I nodded and held out my hands to receive one end of the amp, and braced myself for the heavy weight. He slowly removed it from the shelf, and lowered it into my...BAM!!!

I awoke in the back of a van, with blurry vision and a throbbing headache. There was a damp rag under my head, which I removed and examined. It was soaked with blood, and I sighed as I realized what had probably happened to me.
There was music on through the vans stereo system. It was a loud, fast, and angry punk rock band called Black Flag. I enjoyed the song, having heard it a couple of times before, and began to sing along a little.
As I started to sing, the back door of the van opened and there stood the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
She was probably about 5'6, with a very thin build. Her hot pink hair was spiked up in all directions, and still did nothing to distract me from her piercing green eyes. She wore a very short shirt that exposed her mid-section and extremely tight leopard skin pants.
She looked at me and breathed a sigh of relief, "I guess you're not dead then, but damn you took a hard blow." Her soft voice played with my senses, and filled them with wonder.
I tried to sit up, but she quickly pushed me back down to the floor. "Don't get up yet, you should rest for a little while longer." I laid back down gently, and looked straight into her eyes. She was so beautiful, I wanted to grab her and make love to her right in the van, but my injury and my common sense prevented me from doing so.
After a long silence, I spoke up. "I assume Luke dropped the amp on me?" She nodded her head, "yeah, you've been unconscious for almost five hours now." I almost jumped in surprise, "five hours, so I guess the show is long over huh?"
She nodded her head, "it ended almost an hour ago, and all of the people are already gone, but I volunteered to stay and watch you."
This puzzled me, "why didn't you guys take me to the hospital?" She laughed, "I'm a med student, and I know how to handle a simple concussion. It actually wasn't really even that bad, Luke caught the thing slightly before it fell completely on you, so it didn't crush you."
She pulled out a cigarette and lit it, her cool breath mixing with the smoke as she exhaled. "You'll be okay, but it's probably gonna hurt like hell for a couple of weeks." I nodded and took out my own cigarette.
We sat in silence, enjoying the harsh music and smoking. After a few minutes, she gave me a concerned look, "Luke took your car home for you, I guess he thought you would be going to the hospital." I groaned and put out my cigarette. She took a long drag off of hers and then threw it to the ground.
"So can you take me home," I asked. She nodded and then pointed to the passenger seat. I climbed up to it and buckled myself in. She started the van and pulled out of parking lot. When we were on the road, she asked me for my name.
