California's Crashing (a story of Green Day)

what happened

I came home crying I really didn't want to be there but I noticed my dad tried making up for things by buying me a guitar but it didn't help much. I called Billie and asked to sleep over he didn't mind and I took my guitar with some cloths and took the bus ride over. When I got there Billie was watching a movie but paused it to let me in. "I noticed your dad tried making efforts." He laughed and took the guitar case out of my hands to look at it. "She's a beauty I'll help you learn tonight how to strum her right." He winked and continued his movie. It was about ten at night and Billie began teaching me I noticed his brother seeing us practicing and he left to a party. It was around two in the morning when he came back and I showed my older cousin what I was able to do. I now knew this band thing would actually go somewhere.
