A Familiar Face, chapter 1
I woke up one day by being shoved.
"Wake the hell up!" a sort of familar voice said.
"What?!" I snarled. I then looked up. Holy shit it was Billie Joe!
"What are you doing here? How...What..." I trid saying sensible words, but they wouldn't come out.
"Not fucking now. We need to leave!" he said.
I got dressed, brushed my teeth, took a brush for the ride and followed Billie Joe. When I walked out, Mike and Tre greeted me and I hopped aboard the bus in front of my house. I wondered, was this a dream. It couldn't have been. It was so real.
I got out when the bus stopped. I was in California and Billie Joe handed me a guitar. It was a replica of Billie Joe's guitar and asked,
"You know how to play, right?" I nodded and he told me to practice.
"We're going on in 15 minutes."
Wait a damn minute. I was going to play in front of thousands upon thousands of people. What the FUCK is going on? But whatever it was I loved it.
We went on and I could hear people in the front muttering,
"Who the fuck is she?" I was a little humiliated but I was on the stage and couldn't go off.
I looked on the side of the stage and saw the paper of the order of the songs we were playing.
1. American Idiot
2. Jesus of Suburbia
3. Holiday
4. St. Jimmy
5. Basket Case
6. When I Come Around
7. When September Ends
8. Stuart and the Avenue
9. Waiting
10. Warning
11. Deadbeat Holiday
By the end of the concert, people actually liked me. Then we had our encore.
It was first Boulevard of Broken Dreams. Then We Are the Champions, additional to King for a Day/Shout. And our last song was Good Riddance. We rocked from beginning to the very last note. Boom! Confetti flew throughout the arena and I felt a happiness come over me. I was content and no one could stop me.
We got back on the tour bus as soon as people got their autographs from Billie Joe, Mike, and Tre, and I even got a few fans. Billie Joe congradulated me.
"You fucking rocked! Good job!" I asked where we were going. Billie Joe looked at me like I was stupid.
"Kayla, we're going to my house, where else would we be going." Tre pulled out some tin foil and lettuce out of his pocket and started smoking some. Billie Joe ordered three Conona's and a root beer for me. He asked me if I was hungry and I said yes. He asked if I was in the mood for a sub and I said ok. When he gave it to me, I said thank you. Then Billie Joe, Mike and Tre pulled up chairs.
Mike spoke first. "Do you know why you're here?"
I shook my head no.
"Well we heard from your sister that you were a kickass guitarist. I can see she wasn't lying." Tre said.
I spoke up. "Not to be rude, umm..Mr. Cool, but how do you know my sister?"
"Well as you know, her boyfriend Chris met me when I was on tour for Dookie." Billie Joe said.
"Chris introduced Johanna to us and thats what happened."
I stood there in awe I was on tour with Green Day. It was a fucking dream come true.
We finally arrived at Billie Joe's house. When I walked in, I saw a picture of 80 and Billie Joe when they got married. I saw someone coming down the stairs and saw 80 herself. When Billie Joe, Mike, and Tre came in, they introduced me to 80 and she was an awesome person. After that Billie Joe cautioned me.
"Careful not to be too loud. You might wake up Joey and Jakob."
They showed me to my room and I went to bed. Billie Joe then whispered to me,
"Well, I'll see you in the morning. 3 am ok?" It was early, but I could manage. Besides, I was living a dream.
"Wake the hell up!" a sort of familar voice said.
