An Angel's Voice, chapter 4
They all ran onstage and Billie opened with "American Idiot." Tre found Sara in the front row with Lunden dancing and jumping around. He had to laugh. The concert ended with "Whatsername" and the guys went backstage to grab some water and waited for the girls. Three girls around the age of 13-14 came excitedly backstage and begged the guys for their autographs. "Ok, girls, what's your name?" Billie asked looking at a shy red head. "Um... Lauren." She blushed. "Ok. To Lauren, thanks for coming! You rock! Billie Joe xoxo." He handed her the paper and she giggled. They finished their autographs/ picture taking and waited for Lunden and Sara.
"Lunden, hurry up! They're waiting for us!" Sara sat impatiently waiting for Lunden to buy a Pepsi. "Hold on, I'm really thirsty!" She said. She finally reached Sara and Sara pulled out her ipod from her pocket. Lunden inserted one earphone in one ear, Sara in the other. They turned it up really loud and sang their hearts out in the almost empty Xcel center. They made their way backstage and looked for the guys. "SHELTER ME, COME ON BABY PLEASE!" They sang out. (That song is Shelter Me by Train. Good song, too!) "Woah, looks like someone's having fun!" Billie suddenly appeared. "Huh? Oh, yeah, we were looking for you." Sara looked at him and kind of blushed. "Hey guys, watcha singin'?" Tre asked, appearing behind Billie. "Shelter Me by Train." Sara said proudly. "Who the fuck is Train?" Mike asked. "Only the greatest rock band EVER!" Lunden shouted. Sara shot her a look. "What, they are." "Next to you guys, of course." Sara finished for her. Tre puffed out his chest. "Well, not everyone can rock as loud as we can!" "Come on, I'm falling asleep, let's go get some coffee. You guys wanna come?" Mike asked, looking at the girls. "Sure, mom won't be picking us up for like 2 more hours." They made their way to Starbucks.
They sat and drank thier coffee. "Cheers to Sara, may your 17th birthday be a great one!" Lunden raised her cup and so did Sara. "It's your birthday?" Mike asked. "Not today, next week, but Lunden has dance competition that week so we're celebrating this week." "Aaa. I see." "Yeah, and when she comes back...." Lunden grinned. "ROAD TRIP!!!" They shouted together. "Woah, cool. Where are you going?" Billie asked. "I dunno, we're gonna wing it!" Sara said, smiling. Just then her cell phone rang. "Hello. Hey Kevin. Oh, you are? OK, we're at starbucks. Is Pete with you? Ok, 30 min? ok see you then. Bye." "Who was that your boyfriend?" Tre asked, getting upset. "What? Oh, hell no. Kevin is my cousin. And so is Peter. They're coming to pick us up." "Oh. Cool." Tre said, sighing with relief. "Where are you guys scheduled to go next?" Sara asked. "Well, we're staying in Minnesota for a few more days..." "ARGH! WE ARE?!" Tre asked. "Yea, why?" Billie asked. "Becuase it's fucking roasting out here." Tre complained. "I know, don't you just love it? Hot in the summer, cold in the winter. Swimming in the lake in the summer, fishing, tubing, water skiing in the summer, sledding, ice fishing, skating in the winter. I love Minnesota." Sara said. Just then Kevin came in. "Kev, over here." He had a little boy about 5-6 years old. Tre assumed that was Peter. "Hey, Pete, what's up cuz?" Sara asked, holding out her hand. Pete hi-fived it. "What's up Sara? Who're these dudes?" Pete asked, pointing to the guys. "Oh, this is Billie, Mike, and Tre Cool." Sara said. "Woah, Green Day! Nice, Sara very nice." Kevin said. "What's that supposed to mean?" Mike asked. "Nothing." Kevin said winking at Sara, she giggled. "I'm gonna go, come on Lunden. Nice meeting you guys, don't be strangers." Sara kissed Tre on the cheek. He blushed.
After Sara left, Billie looked mischeviously at Mike and Tre. "Guys? I think we owe miss Sara a Happy Birthday."
"Lunden, hurry up! They're waiting for us!" Sara sat impatiently waiting for Lunden to buy a Pepsi. "Hold on, I'm really thirsty!" She said. She finally reached Sara and Sara pulled out her ipod from her pocket. Lunden inserted one earphone in one ear, Sara in the other.
