Thank You

Ch.43 Posers

So November 15 came before they knew it and it was a Saturday and Anna woke up excited as hell and went in the living room and Mike gave her a cup of coffee and Billie was holding something behind his back
"Look what came"Billie said showing Anna
"Holy shit really"Anna said taking it,it was the Cd of the new album and it was called Consious Perception and she flipped it over and looked at the songs and she saw what she didn't expect she saw Posers and Strung Out
"Billie you put my songs on there"
"Of course" he said giving her a hug,the album cover barred wire heart with a shadow of a person playing guitar and a shadow of a person playing drums and a bunch of graffiti in the backround and a shadow of a person jumping on a skateboard
"Is that supposed to be me and my dad"
"Yep,look through the booklet once"so she did and there were like two extra pages filled with pictures of all of them and she read the thanks and Billie thanked her tremendously and so did Mike and Tre and of course they thanked Scott and Anna gave them all hugs
"I love it"
"Good" and also,Billie went and grabbed something and came back,he had two tickets and backstage passes
"One for Rector and one for Nathanial"
"Thanks Billie'
'Yep" so as time went on Anna started getting more and more attention at school to the point she had to stay home and just use the online program Rector set up for her so kids would stop harassing her,and and it was finally time for winter break to start and Anna was both excited but also sad because she honestly would miss Rector and Nathanial but she knew they wanted her to be happy,so Mike and Tre went back to California so they could be with their families,but Billie and Adrienne spent Christmas with Anna and Scott and now Anna haden't seen her mom in a month but she didn't care,she just had a stress free holiday with Billie,Adrienne and her dad and Billie got her a new skateboard,it was awesome,the bottom was green and black checkered and it was just really cool and tickets to almost every show she wanted to see,Fall Out Boy,Frank Iero and the Future Violents,Blink-182,and Sum 41 and she kinda just fell over and made Billie promise that he would take her to all the shows and he did and so they relaxed for a few days before the first show of the tour in Milwaukee,and those few days flew by like nothing and so it was December 27 and so Anna woke up buzzing with excitment so she got ready and walked into the living room and Mike gave her a cup of coffee and Billie spoke
"Hey Anna,are you excited"
"Hell yeah" and it made Billie smile,how happy she was and she just gave him a hug because of who happy she was,then she spoke
"Um this might not even happen but I should give you guys a heads up and I'm sorry"
"Okay what is it"Billie asked with a concerned look on his face
"Um well y'know how I had to stay home from school because of people harassing me"
"Yeah"
"Well um those kids uh well they think they can use my status to their advantage and they might try and pull some shit at the show tonight"
"Well we'll make sure that doesn't happen"Billie said giving her a hug
"I just have a bad feeling about it but I'm more happy and excited then words could explain"she said smiling
"That makes us happy that you're happy but like we can just increase security or something"
"Yeah"she said smiling then they came up with the setlist

They didn't care how long it was,because they wanted to have a fun,kick ass first show to kick off the tour,so they ran threw the set as many times as they could before they had to leave,so once they were done they left at like six and got there a little later so they did sound check and when it got to the song Strung Out Billie was standing there watching Anna play and sing with tears in his eyes so after she was done he gave her a hug and spoke
"I swear I am happy as fuck to even know you"
"Right back at you" she said smiling,then they continued sound check and Anna helped Billie through Wake Me Up When Septemebr Ends and when they were done then relaxed and Anna knew something was up,that Billie had something planned,and a little while later Adrienne and Scott showed up and Adrienne spoke
"Anna are you excited"
"Of course,but I'm kinda worried"
"Why"
"Because I just have a bad feeling that some kids from my class are gonna be here and do something"
"Oh well Billie won't let that happen"
"Yeah I know"
'Well you'll do amazing and I think Billie has something planned'
"Yeah I think he does"she said smiling
"Well I love you and have an amazing fucking time okay I'll be watching the whole time"
"Okay,thanks Adrienne"so people started showing up and Anna just watched from the rafters because she kinda wanted to be alone but Billie found her and sat next to her
"Hey"he said smiling
"Hi'
"You ready"
'Yeah"and then she looked out in the crowd of people that were there and she saw every girl from her class
"Oh fucking hell"
"What"
"Thats every fucking girl from my fucking class"she said pointing to the crowd
"They just fucking came because they know someone some what famous and want to use it the there fucking advantage,fuck I'm done with that school's fucking bullshit"she said sighing
"Wanna go say something"
"Actually I'll wait till the show becasue they have another fucking thing coming"
"Okay,so were gonna go on soon so wanna get down from here"
"Yeah"she said smiling,so they headed back down and it was like 7:45 so they would go on in fifteen minutes and Anna was a mixture of emotions,she was excited as hell,anxious for what Billie had planned,done with her school's crap,and ready to have fun,so before she knew it,she was walking across the stage with Billie,Mike,and Tre,and she saw her dad and Adrienne standing on the sidelines of the stage and her and Billie stepped in front of their mics and Billie spoke
"How the hell you doing Milwaukee"and the crowd went fucking nuts
"Well some of you might be wondering who this kid is standing next to me,well this kick ass kid is Milwaukee's own Miss Anna Kushner and she's apart of Green Day and this is her first night on tour playing,so lets make it a fucking awesome one"and the crowd lost it as they jumped into Look Back so they played through the setlist and fucking hit it and once they hit Jesus of Suburbia Anna spoke
"Hey anyone here from Sanit Jude School,besides Nathanial"and all the girls from her school cheered and she went and knelt down on the edge of the stage near where all the girls from her class were and spoke
"Well fuck you because you guys are nothing but fake fucking hypocritically pop culture stereotypes who just came to this concert so you can use my status to your advantage and man would I love to put you in a fucking mosh pit,hell I bet you don't even know what a mosh pit is"and she laughed and flipped them off and got back up and when Anna looked over at Billie,Mike and Tre they were all laughing
"Okay I don't wanna see any phones,because then you're looking through the camera and not at us and having a connection and actually enjoying the concert you paid to see,actually fuck it,Simon says out your phones away unless you're recording for someone who couldn't come"and she just saw a wave of literally almost everyone put their phones away,then Billie spoke
"Okay,lets make a fucking pit,but first,1: don't mess with anyone,2:if someone falls pick them up,and 3:have a fucking great time,now lets go crazy"so the crowd went insane,then after No Locks was King For a Day and of course Billie being Billie didn't keep it PG 13 the entire time,and Anna was just dying laughing and during the pause Anna spoke
"I am gay and genderfluid and anyone apart of the LGBTQ+ community I back you 100 million percent and I love you and don't let anyone tell you what you can and can't be or what you can and can't wear and any homphobic assholes out there FUCK YOU and yeah thats right all the fucking girls from my school yeah thats right I'm gay, I'm not a girl completely and I don't care if you fucking beat me up or say any shit because FUCK YOU I am who I fucking am and I'm not gonna let your fake asses get to me"and she flipped them off and Billie just gave her a hug,and next was Boulevard of Broken Dreams and she spoke again
"Come on up here Lese we're settling this once and for all"and security got Nathanial up on stage and a crew member gave him a mic and they sang the whole song and Anna let Nathanial win so she spoke
"Give it up for my friend Nathanial,and all you fake girls yeah girls and guys can be friends deal with it"and she gave him a hug and she ran him up to the front of the stage and he did a running jump and did a stage dive,then they played through and when they played Youngblood,Billie grabbed Anna and put his arm around her and they both sang and then they flipped off the crowd
"She said fuck you I'm from Oakland" and Billie gave her a hug and changed the lyrics a bit
"Anna's my little Youngblood" and she just smiled like an idiot and when the song Scars hit Billie had to help Anna through it from not getting choked up but she did a bit,and when St.Insomnia hit man did it get crazy,Anna sang and played that fucking song like a true punk rocker and the crowd loved it,then when Strung Out hit she spoke
"Anyone who cuts,don't I love you and I did it too and I survived it and what got me through it was music and believe me you will feel so much better,yeah fake girls I have flaws,news flash no one is perfect and that makes me human"so then she started playing Strung Out and by the end of it Anna had tears in her eyes and she spoke
"Damn it I love you guys,great I'm crying,and that song is about me cutting and the feeling what I felt when I was brutally beat up by kids at my school and I just want every kid out their to hear and know you are not alone you have me and Green Day and I love you"she said wiping her eyes,then Billie gave her a hug and she helped him through Wake Me Up When September Ends and he got choked up and started crying when the song was done and he turned around and wiped his eyes and Anna gave him a hug and he was good,then Posers hit and before she started playing she spoke
"All the girls from my school that are here tonight this songs is dedicated to you so fuck off"and she played Posers and smiled knowing that all of the shit that came along with going to that school was gone,then after it was time to play Good Ridance
"Miss Rector get up here,you know the lyrics"so security got her up on stage and sang with Anna and after the song ended she did a stage dive,and Anna thought Billie was gonna start playing Thank You with her but then he spoke
"Change of plans,Scott and the remaining members of Tainted Perception get your asses up here and play"and Anna just looked at Billie in shock and tackled him in a hug,so Scott came running out and gave Billie a hug,so Tre stepped down and went and help get the crowd going and security got Scott's friends,and former band members up on stage and they thanked Billie and before Scott counted off Anna spoke
"Billie how are you so awesome,I told him that I wanted to make my dad's world and let him and his band play at a show and he actually managed to pull it off,man I have no words,alright give it up for my dad's band Tainted Perception"so Billie,Mike,Tre,and Anna got the crowd hyped up and cheering,and her dad counted off and they played every song they had which was like six and when they stepped down and Scott walked up to Anna and Billie and gave them both hugs and spoke
"Was this really your idea to make me happy"and Anna nodded and he had tears of joy running down his face
"Billie man you have no idea how much this means to me thank you for making this happen man thank you" and he gave Billie another hug and ran off stage,then Anna grabbed Joey and Billie grabbed his aucostic and they started singing Thank You and by the end off it both Billie and Anna were in tears of joy and they gave each other a hug,then Anna spoke
"Give it up for Mr.Billie Joe Armstrong,Mr.Mike Dirnt,Mr.Tre cool,my kick ass dad Mr.Scott Kushner,and last but not least his band Tainted Perception"and the crowd cheered like crazy,then Billie spoke
"Give it up for Anna,I swear this kid has survived hell and back,surviving depression and anxiety,going to a Catholic school,being gay,genderfluid,and non religious,being beat up brutally three time,broken ribs,broken arms,busted lips,black eyes,busted noses,and surviving six weeks in the hospital not being able to play and her dad being in a coma,I swear she is one of the strongest people I've ever met,so give it up for her"and she went by him and spoke
"Damn it Billie you made me cry,but honestly if it wasn't for Green Day and another band I probaly wouldn't be standing here right now and I love them,and I love you,thank you and good night"she said smiling and they blew off the confette canonns as they walked off stage and Adrienne hugged the life out of Anna and spoke
'You did amazing,and also I let Nathanial back stage"
"Oh thank you"
'Yep' so Anna went by Nathanial
"Hey man'
"Anna holy crap you did amazing,like I have no words"he said giving her a hug
'Thanks man you did good too'she said smiling
"And dude seriously give me your number"
"Oh yeah"so Nathanial put his number in Anna's phone,and Billie walked over by them
"Hey Anna wanna go meet with some fans"
"Sure,bye man I'll talk to you later okay"
'K bye Anna"and he left and before they could go by fans the girls from Anna's school some how got passed security and came up to her and she spoke
"Okay I will give all of you 20 seconds to turn your asses around,fuck off, and never come near me again and get the hell out of here before I get security"
"You told us off so much and basically threw us into a mosh pit or something"
"Yeah and you deserved it and thank god I don't have to go back to school and see you and you thought that you could use my status to your advantage and saying I haven't been through shit actually I have and I survived it all and I will being stronger then any of you fake bitches so fuck off and leave"
"What you did was not right"
"5,4,3,2,1,okay I'm getting security"and Billie called security over and escourt them all out and while at it Anna,Billie,Mike,Tre,Adrienne,and Scott flipped them all off and laughed and it was awesome and after they were gonna they all just laughed,so then Anna,Billie,Mike,and Tre all went out and met with fans and Anna had girls and guys walking up to her in tears,giving her hugs and saying thank you,with their arms littered in scars and she just hugged each and everyone of them and signed their arms and whatever they had and told them to listen to Green Day anytime they had urges and that she loves them,and then Billie walked up to her in tears and hugged her and spoke
'God you are amazing"
"Yeah look whos talking'and he just smiled and laughed
"Yeah" and they met with more fans and one of the last fans Anna met with had a shirt that said 'Green Day and Anna saved my life' and so the whole band signed his shirt and gave him a hug and took a photo and Anna spoke
"Dude I've been where you are and just keep listening to music and take it easy and that moves me so much and stay strong" so he nodded and Anna gave him one more hug and he walked away,then they all headed back by Adrienne and Scott and Billie spoke
"So who wants celebratory ice cream"and they all just laughed and agreed so they grabbed their stuff and left,and headed to Baskin Robbins and the dude behind the counter's face was priceless
"Oh my god Green Day is right here wow,my buddy went to the show tonight and told me it was amazing,um can I get a picture" and Billie spoke
"Of course"so Adrienne took a picture with the guy and Billie,Mike,and Tre and Anna
"Thanks,and whatever you order is on the house"
'Thanks man" so they ordered and Scott showed them how to climb up on the roof of the church across the street and Scott spoke
"Me and my buddies use to come up here all the time and I promised Anna I would take her up her one day and show her the view"then Billie spoke
"Damn the view is awesome and its awesome up here"
"Yeah' and they sat up there and ate their ice cream and then they climbed down and headed back to Scott's and everyone was wiped out so everyone just decided they would sleep there and Adrienne apparently recorded the entire show and showed Anna
'You recorded the entire thing"
'Yeah like I was gonna not record it,it was your first big show of the tour"
"Yeah guess your right" she said yawning and so she said night to the guys and Adrienne and Billie spoke
"Hey Anna can I talk to you"
"Sure"so they went in her room,and even before Anna could say anything Billie was hugging her and he spoke
"You did amazing I am so proud of you and what you did with the fans I swear I think I cried more tears of joy tonight then I have ever and I am so proud and you had an awesome show and told off the girls from your school"and just then Anna's phone rang and it was Joan,she was Facetiming her
'Hi Joan"
"Hey Anna,I heard that you played an amazing show and were just amazing with fans"then Billie chimed in
"Yeah she was awesome'
"Well I just called to tell you congrats and I'm proud"
"Thanks Joan,well we're wiped out,so night"
'Bye" and with that she hung up and she looked at Billie
"Did you tell her"she said smiling
"Yeah,like I'm not"
'Fair enough"
"Billie hug"and Anna nodded,so Billie gave her a hug and spoke
"Night Anna,love you"
"Night,love you too Billie" so Billie went you in the living room and passed out on one of the couches and Anna was out.
