Destroyed... Giving up the fight!, chapter 1
The cheering got louder and I got more and more anxious! Any minute now Greenday would be coming on stage! I was right at the front, in the middle of the most pit! Darn I would get some bruises.
I looked at the stage and then I saw them... Green Day, there they were ready to rock to 65, 000 hard core fans. This was the moment I had been waiting for, this concert, this day! Just a coencidence it happened to be my 15th Birtday.
The cheers turned into screams. And then Billie Joe started strumming the begining chords to American idiot. The crowd went wild. And the concert rocked. Mike Dirnt, the Best Bass player, Tre cool the best drummer and Billie Joe Armstrong the best fronts person were all on stage in front of me. This was the band I had loved for over 5 years. This was the "Green Day world tour 2005."
Green day played all their best tracks and knew how to interact with the audience.
Towards the end of the show Billie Joe stepped up to the Microphone to announce something (k guys this is where is starts to turn into a fictional story)
"I understand that we have a birthday girl here" said Billie Joe smiling. "her name is Jasmine Fria." I froze dead in my tracks, he can't be talking about me, can he? No this is just a dream and any minute now i'll wake up...
"Jasmine, where is she?" asked Billie Joe looking around at everyone, I broke out of my trance and raised my hand. Billie Joe noticed and smiled.
"Right, i'd like you to crowd surf to the front" he said demandingly, before I could say or do anything for that matter, I felt my feet beeing lifted from the ground and I was being passed from person to person! I finally reached the front of the stage and Billie Joe grabbed my hand and pulled me up.
He put his arm around me "you ok Jasmine?" he asked. I nodded trying to swallow a lump in my throat still not believing that this was happening.
How did they even know it was my birthday?
"Happy birthday" Billie Joe said giving me hug, Mike and Tre approached me after that and did the same. "I understand from someone that you play the guitar?" asked Billie Joe. "yeh" I managed to choke out. "how long you been playing?" he asked. "6 years" I replied. "Ok, I want you to play Welcome to Paradise for me." Everyone went silent. I looked at Billie and he nodded for me to start. I closed my eyes and started to play the intro and then the whole song.
Dear mother,
Can you hear me whining?
It's been three whole weeks
Since that I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
A wasteland I like to call
My home
Welcome To Paradise
A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
A wasteland I like to call
My home
Welcome To Paradise
Dear mother,
Can you hear me laughing
It's been six whole months since
Since that I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
A wasteland I like to call
My home
Welcome To Paradise
As I was finishing I shut my eyes again. Green day had the approval of over 1000 people, but did I? I was about to find out.
Also little did I know that my day was going to get even more crazy...
