Two weeks had passed since Billie met Adrienne and the two of them have been texting back and forth. Billie gave her VIP and backstage passes for her to see the band tonight. Billie was in his dressing room and he was sitting on the floor with his knees up to his chest. He was nervous and he was scared that he would mess up. He didn't want to mess up infront of the fans and Adrienne, especially Adrienne. Billie liked her a lot and he wanted to show her that his band was good.
Billiiiieeee!!!!
No! Leave me alone!
Billiiieeee!!! Immm baaaaackkk!"
Please leave me alone. I just wanna be left alone!
Aww, Billie I can't do that. We're just getting started!
Did you cut yourself again? I saw you did it two days ago.
Leave me alone!
I saw you talking to that girl. You like huh? You like her a lot don't you. Well guess what, she's never gonna like you. You're never gonna get here. Tonight, when you fuck up the concert, she's gonna laugh at you. And then she's gonna leave you. And you're gonna end up dead.
LEAVE ME ALONE!
Billie opened his eyes and saw his bandmates and Adrienne infront of him. Billie didn't notice that he had been shaking back and forth and crying. He looked at Adrienne and she looked very worried. Billie wiped his eyes and stood up. "Are you okay Beej?" Mike asked.
"Y-yeah. I-I just- I-i just panicked a little" Billie said. He was still breathing heavily and he was still nervous.
"If you don't feel good Beej, we can cancel the show if ya want" Mike said. Billie shook his head.
"No. I wanna do the show" Billie said as he walked out of his dressing room.
(On stage)
The band walked on the stage and the cheering of 300,000 fans filled the park. The band went to their positions, Tre went to his drum kit behind Billie, Mike to the left side with his bass, Billie in the middle with his guitar, and their back guitarist, Jason, on the right.
Billie started the first note on the song, "When I Come Around". The fans went crazy and the music started playing. They did the intro as instrumental at first. Billie looked at Adrienne and she smiled at him. So he gave her a small smile and he looked back at the fans. He opened his mouth and the lyrics came out.
I heard you crying loud, all the way across town
Cause you been searching for that someone
And it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Well, don't get lonely now, and dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get
So uptight you been thinking about ditching me
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
Well, I heard it all before, so don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser
To try and slag me down because I know you're right
So go do what you like, make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing
Was ever there
You can't go forcing something if it's just not right
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
When I come around
The song finished the fans went crazy. Billie looked at Adrienne. She was smiling and clapping for him. Billie smiled and winked at her. He looked back at the crowd and he put a finger on his lips and the fans went quiet. He panted and closed his eyes. He opened them and he looked at Mike and Tre. They were confused. He looked at both of them and mouthed "Redundant". Mike and Tre understood and nodded their heads.
"This song is for a special girl. I like her a lot and she doesn't know. I know you guys know the song. So sing it with me so she knows how much I like her" Billie said. The fans cheered and Tre started with count.
We're living in repetition
Content in the same old shtick again
Now the routine's turning to contention
Like a production line going over and over and over
Roller coaster
Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I'm speechless and redundant
'Cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words
Choreographed and lack of passion
Prototypes of what we were
Went full circle 'til I'm nauseous
Taken for granted now
I waste it, faked it, ate it, now I hate it
'Cause I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I'm speechless and redundant
'Cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words
Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I'm speechless and redundant
'Cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words
Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I'm speechless and redundant
'Cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words
Billie finished the song and he looked at Adrienne who was blushing like hell. He smiled and winked at her. Billie took off his guitar and he went to Adrienne and kissed her. She kissed him back. Billie and Adrienne looked at each other.
"I love you. And I want you to be my girlfriend" Billie said. Adrienne smiled and nodded her head.
"I love you too" Adrienne said. The rest of the concert went really well.
