We Will Run Away Together Hand In Hand, chapter 25
"I know I'm brilliant but can you stop staring at me?" she laughed nervously, "Seriously do I look alright?" she asked, Taylor held her sister's shaking hands.
"You look fantastic," Taylor said and smiled assumingly, "Doesn't she Tre?"
Tre snapped out of the gaze he had on Rebel, "You look beautiful." he smiled then offered his arm out to Rebel. "Milady," he giggled.
"Good sir," Rebel replied laughing slightly and linking arms with Tre.
Rebel and Tre were in a car alone driving to the church. Rebel looked out of the window and yet again she began to shake. Tre looked over at the young woman then held her hand in comfort.
"You'll be fine," Tre whispered.
"Doesn't feel like it right now," Rebel replied, "Tre I'm so nervous."
"Ssh babe it's ok," Tre said trying to help Rebel avoid a panic attack, "We'll all be there with you in case you need us ok?"
Rebel smiled, "Thanks Tre, I owe you one."
The car stopped outside the church. People and photographers gathered round the car. Rebel squeezed Tre's hand before he got out of the car and walked round before opening the door for Rebel. He took her hand to help her out and photographers from various magazines crowded round the pair as they walked up the stairs towards the church doors.
Taylor, who was waiting for them told the children to go down the aisle and she would follow. Stella and Ramona led on with Dominic and Frankito behind them. Taylor followed them on her own since Mike was Billie's best man.
Rebel linked arms with Tre and smiled as the wedding march began. She and Tre walked down the aisle together to the various muffled gasps and whispers of 'doesn't she look beautiful?'. Rebel looked ahead of her, past Taylor and the kids and there he was. Billie Joe in a black suit, white dress shirt and proper shoes. His long black hair was spiked out in all directions, the way Rebel had always liked it. The captivation of Billie's green eyes was brought out by the eyeliner around them. Billie bit his bottom lip then smiled as he saw the sight of his bride. Their eyes met as Rebel let go of Tre's arm and stood in front of Billie Joe holding both of his hands in hers.
"I wondered where my eyeliner went," Rebel whispered.
Billie laughed to himself, "I love you," he said.
"I love you too," Rebel replied as the vicar stood up and took his position.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to witness the joining of this man and this woman in holy matrimony. If anyone knows of any lawful impediment why these two people may not be joined speak now or forever hold your peace." an eerie silence fell over the crowd of people before the vicar continued, "Billie Joe Armstrong, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife. To keep her in sickness in health, for richer for poorer, for better or worse until death do you part?"
"I do," Billie replied, Rebel smiled as the vicar asked her the same question with the names reversed.
"I do," Rebel answered.
"Billie Joe if you'll repeat after me," the vicar continued, "I, Billie Joe Armstrong. Take you, Rebel Ann Savage, to be my lawfully wedded wife."
As the ceremony drew to an end Billie and Rebel were still holding each other's hands and couldn't keep their eyes off of each other. Natalie and Tre were stood together holding hands, Natalie was in tears of joy for her friends. Taylor and Mike were looking at each other across the altar, Taylor was in silent hysterics for her sister and constantly wiping her eyes with a tissue.
"By the power vested in me by the Church I declare you man and wife...you may kiss the bride."
Billie and Rebel grinned at each other before leaning in for their fist kiss as a married couple. As their lips met everyone cheered for them and Rebel smiled. Billie and Rebel pulled away and ran down the aisle to the door. Green Day fans were outside the church and threw confetti over the happy couple as they got into a car and drove off to the reception. Taylor and Mike walked out hand in hand looking at the scene that greeted them. Natalie and Tre came out and kissed each other. Mike looked at Taylor.
Rebel and Billie went to New Zealand for their honeymoon that night. That left Taylor, Mike, Natalie and Tre with the kids. Taylor had gained more family in two step nephews and a brother in law. Joey and Jakob walked into the living room where Taylor was sitting with Dominic. They sat beside her and hugged their new auntie. Taylor smiled and hugged the two boys. She looked up at the clock, it was half past nine so she sent all the kids to bed. When they had gone Mike walked in and sat beside his girlfriend. He put an arm around her shoulders and pulled her back on to the couch.
"Are you ok?" Mike asked.
"Huh?" Taylor asked, "Yeah...still a bit emotional I suppose. I can't believe my sister's all grown up and married."
Mike laughed, "You sound more like her mom than her sister."
Meanwhile in the kitchen Natalie and Tre were sitting at the table looking out of the window at the night sky. Tre had one of his hands in his pocket holding something. Nerves and apprehension built up inside him making him feel like he was a bomb ready to detonate. Natalie could hear Tre's heart beating faster and harder. This caused her to sit up and look at Tre with concern. Tre looked pale and nervous about something. Did he have a guilty conscience about something?
"Frank what's wrong?" she asked.
"I er...I need to ask you something," Tre said then stood up and knelt down in front of Natalie, "Er...I know we haven't been back together for very long but I truly love you with all my heart and I knew that since the moment I laid eyes on you. I know I might be stealing the moment of Rebel and Billie getting married today and everything but..."
"Frank you're rambling babe."
"I know...I'm sorry I'm just really nervous...Natalie Emma Beck...will you marry me?"
Natalie looked at Tre for a moment, "Yeah....Yeah I will marry you."
After Rebel and Billie's honeymoon, Green Day embarked on another tour of the world. They had recorded an album named 'Cigarettes and Valentines: The Lost Era' and had promoted it. Now they needed a tour. So far the tour had gone well, the Netherlands, Russia, Germany and France shows had gone without a problem apart from the odd broken down tour bus and so on.
Billie and Rebel had decided to bring Joey and Jakob with them since they could see the world. Rebel had taken to motherhood well even though she could never have children of her own.
The tour had reached Belgium, Green Day were playing later on in the afternoon but they were getting pumped up now so they could prepare themselves. Rebel, Taylor and Natalie were sat in Billie's dressing room playing 'A Song For' by Get Cape Wear Cape Fly. It was an acoustic song so Taylor and Natalie did nothing apart from singing along. Rebel was sat in silence playing the melody. She heard the door open and saw her husband walk in to the room. She smiled at Billie and went back to playing the guitar. Billie walked round the room grabbing various things whilst listening to his wife play. He left the room again leaving the three girls to their own devices. Rebel put the guitar down and laid back on the black leather couch.
"I have something to tell you," Natalie said nervously.
"What's up?" Rebel asked.
"I'm er...I'm pregnant...by Tre," Natalie replied, Rebel turned her head so she was looking at the back of the sofa, Taylor looked at her sister then back at Natalie.
"That's great Nats," Taylor said but noticed Natalie was a bit upset, "What's wrong?" she asked.
"Frank...Tre...he said that he wasn't sure if he wanted anymore kids right now."
"Well it's not really his decision is it?" Taylor replied.
"But what if he thinks I'm trapping him?" Natalie asked, Rebel stood up.
"He should be grateful that you can have kids together," Rebel said coldly then walked out of the room.
Taylor and Natalie looked at each other, Taylor knew why Rebel had walked out but Natalie didn't.
"Taylor what was that about?" Natalie asked.
"Rebel...she can't have children...at all."
"Oh shit...Taylor I'm sorry."
"Don't be. She just needs to chill out for a while."
A few hours later Green Day were on stage half way through the concert. 16 thousand people had turned up at the concert. However they didn't know that there were two people in there that were going to cause tragedy and disaster. Rebel, Taylor and Natalie were at the front watching the guys rock the building. The guys had just finished playing 'Wake Me Up When September Ends' and Mike stepped up to the microphone. He looked around for Taylor and spotted her.
"As most of you know I have been in a relationship with a lovely girl called Taylor for a while now and I wanted to do something up here. Taylor, will you marry me?"
Taylor looked at Rebel and Natalie, "YES I WILL!" she shouted, the crowd cheered until it happened.
There was a disturbance in the middle of the crowd as two guys pushed their way through. Billie could see it all from the stage. He walked off the stage and put his guitar down before coming back out and stepping up to the microphone.
"Hey you little mother fuckers you looking for a fight?" Billie coaxed, the crowd cheered, "I'll fight the both of you right now of you get up here on this stage."
"If he doesn't beat you then there's plenty more of us that'll beat the living shit out of you."
Rebel looked around at the guys coming towards them. She hit Taylor's arm making her turn round. Instantly they recognised the guys coming towards them. They were the punk kids that killed their father nearly 5 years ago. Rebel looked back at Billie and urged him not to do anything to them. She was scared that they would kill Billie too, then she would have nothing to live for. She didn't know that they were after her and Taylor and didn't realise that until one of the guys jumped over the barrier onto her dragging her to the ground. The guy had dark brown hair and eyes as cold and black as stone. Rebel tried to push him off of her but the guy had pinned her arms to the ground above her head. With his free arm the guy clamped his hand round Rebel's throat. Rebel kicked the guy in the groin but all that did was make him tighten his grip around her throat. As the guy's grip tightened Rebel screamed in pain. However this let the air in her chest escape her. Once she screamed her throat was loosened then tightened again so she couldn't get any air into her system. Billie's rage intensified at the guy who had the nerve to put his hands on his wife. Billie walked over to where Tre was, turned round then took a running jump off of the stage onto the guy on Rebel.
"You look fantastic," Taylor said and smiled assumingly, "Doesn't she Tre?"
Tre snapped out of the gaze he had on Rebel, "You look beautiful." he smiled then offered his arm out to Rebel. "Milady," he giggled.
"Good sir," Rebel replied laughing slightly and linking arms with Tre.
