(Three Years Later)

Billie sat on his chair as he saw Adrienne and his son, Joseph, play in the yard with Mike's three year old and Tre's two year old. His girlfriend, Elena, was talking with Tre's girlfriend, Sara. Tre was with Mike helping him cook the food. "Goddamn Mike! You fucked up the burgers!" Tre said.

"No I didn't! That's all you!" Mike said. Billie smirked and shook his head. He went to his notebook and began writing new lyrics.

I'm like a child looking off on the horizon
I'm like an ambulance that's turning on the sirensOh, I'm still alive
I'm like a soldier coming home for the first timeI dodged a bullet and I walked across a landmine
Oh, I'm still alive

Billie was cut off by Adrienne who sat on his lap and kissed his lips. Billie smiled and kissed her back. "Mike and Tre burned the food" Adrienne said.

Billie chuckled and nodded his head. "I know. That's why I ordered pizza" Billie said.

Adrienne laughed and kissed him. She then looked at Billie in the eyes. Billie frowned and his smiled faded. But then he realized something. He smiled and shook his head. "I'm pregnant" she said.

Billie smiled and touched her stomach. He kissed her lips and smiled. "This one better be my guitarist" Billie joked.

"Oh it will" Adrienne said. Billie smiled and kissed her more. This time the two were making out. Mike gave a groan and Tre whistled.

"Get a fucking room!" Mike yelled. Billie gave him the middle finger and it made Tre laugh harder.

(Sometime later)

Billie was in his dressing room as he looked at a picture of his family. He smiled at the picture as he remembered the time he spent with his siblings and father. It was the picture when his father took them to the park. There was a small knock on his door and Billie put the picture down.

"Yeah!" Billie said. He was greeted by his son, Joseph, and his wife, Adrienne. Billie kissed his son's forehead and then Adrienne's lips.

"Daddy!" His four year old said.

"Hey little man" Billie said. "You ready to see me play?"

"Yeah! Joey ready to see daddy sing!" Joseph said as he clapped his hands.

"How 'bout the little one?" Billie asked as he touched Adrienne's stomach. Adrienne smiled.

"He's ready to hear you play" Adrienne said. Billie's eyes opened. He's having another boy.

"I'm having another boy?!" Billie asked. And she nodded her head. Billie kissed her lips and he smiled. Then there was another knock on the door.

"Sorry if we're interrupting but the show's bout to start. So we gotta go!" Mike said. Billie stood up and followed Mike and Tre. Before he got on stage, he looked back at Adrienne and at his son. He smiled and then went on stage.

The four hundred fans screamed on the top of their lungs. They chanted "Green Day". The three went to their positions and they got ready. Billie put on his guitar and he grabbed the microphone. "Are you guys ready to rock!" Billie yelled.

The fans cheered and they jumped up and down. "Lets go!" Billie yelled.

The concert started and they played multiple songs. They played, She, Whatsername, American Idiot, Welcome To Paradise, and more. The fans were having a blast. Billie, Mike, and Tre were having a good time performing. A lot of things happened in the concert. It started raining but then it stopped. Some mud was being thrown. Then some fans tried to come on stage but they were blocked by security. Mike stage dived and then got back in stage with a ripped shirt. Billie gave away his black guitar and he received his first guitar, Blue. That guitar was his first guitar that his father gave him. It was his most prized possession because it was the only thing he had from his father.

The music stopped and the whole place got quiet. Yes there was some cheers and screams but it was quiet. You could hear the trio breathing heavily. Billie walked up to the microphone and he opened his mouth. "Some of you might not know this but I went through a tough time for a long time. And I wouldn't be standing in front of you guys if it wasn't for my family and for you guys. So I wanna say thank you and enjoy the rest of the night"

Billie started the first note of a song and then he opened his mouth to sing the lyrics. And when he opened his mouth, the lyrics came out like water flowing peacefully in a river.

I'm like a child looking off on the horizon
I'm like an ambulance that's turning on the sirens
Oh, I'm still alive
I'm like a soldier coming home for the first time
I dodged a bullet and I walked across a landmine
Oh, I'm still alive
Am I bleeding am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a light into the wreckage, so far away, away
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way away
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way away
My way to you
I'm like a junkie tying off for the last time
I'm like a loser that's betting on his last dime
Oh, I'm still alive
I'm like a son that was raised without a father
I'm like a mother barely keeping it together
Oh, I'm still alive
Am I bleeding, am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a light into the wreckage, so far away, away
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way away
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, away, away
As I walked out on the ledge
Are you scared to death to live?
I've been running all my life
Just to find a home that's for the restless
And the truth that's in the message
Making my way, away, away
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way away
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, away, away
'Cause I'm still breathing
'Cause I'm still breathing on my own
My head's above the rain and roses
Making my way, away
My way to you

Billie finished the song and he looked up at the fans. He smiled and he looked at his wife, his son, he then looked at his best friends, Mike and Tre. He then looked up at the sky and pointed a finger in the air. He looked back at the fans and opened his mouth to talk to them. "I'm still breathing because you guys. I'm still breathing because of my family. But mostly I'm still breathing for my father!" Billie said.
