Past Perfect Simple or контініус

Layla: Hi, Pete. How was the rock concert last night?
Pete: Well, when I was getting on the bus to go there, I realised that I (forget) my money. So I had to get off again. I didn’t want to miss
the concert because I (look forward) to it for a few
weeks. So I ran, but when I got home, I realised that I (not take) my keys with me either, so I couldn’t get in. I rang the
doorbell for ages, but everybody (go) out.
So there I was – no money, no tickets, no keys. I thought about asking Will, but it’s
a long way to his house, and when I got there, I was really out of breath.
Layla: Let me guess, Will (just spend) all his money. No,
I know. He (lend) it all to someone else.
Pete: Wrong. He hasn’t even been there. He (not come)
home yet. His mother could see that I (run), so
she asked me in and gave me a drink. She put the TV on for me a while I was
waiting. I (watch) stupid cartoons for twenty minutes when I heard somebody come in. But it wasn’t Will. When he finally arrived, I
(wait) for over half an hour. He said he
(take) bottles to the bottle bank for the neighbour
for some extra cash.
Well, after I (explain) the situation he gave me
some money and I rushed for the next bus. I
(waste) so much time, and when I finally got there, my favourite band
(already play).
