Ch.45 Getting Older and Older All the Time

So time passed and the tour went on and it was now Feburary 17 and it was Billie and little Billie's birthday and they had a show and it was at the Fiserv Forum and they were back in Milwaukee, and at Scott's and Anna was the first to wake up so she went on a coffee run and when she got back she got an idea, she took little Billie and put him on top of Billie to wake him up and it worked
"Happy birthday to you too little guy"he said smiling,sitting up,and petting little Billie and Anna handed him a cup of coffee
"Thanks"
"Yep and happy birthday"she said giving him a hug
"Thank you"
"Yup,so what do you wanna do"
'Um I don't know"and Anna had a surprise planned so then she hinted it
"Well wanna go to the skatepark"
"Sure that sounds good,lets wait for the guys to wake up first'
'K' so a little while later the guys woke up and grabbed their coffee
"Morning guys'
"Happy birthday Billie"
"Thanks guys,and its little Billie's birthday too"he said smiling
"Oh happy birthday little Billie too" the guys said petting little Billie and Billie spoke
'You guys mind going to the skate park"
"No thats cool"so they had coffee and got ready and left a note for Adrienne,and headed to the skatepark with little Billie but this time,Anna rode her new board,Billie rode her regular board,Mike rode her long board and Tre rode her Redline bike and when they got there the guys were left in shock and Anna spoke
"Surprise,and happy birthday"the skate park was completely spray painted with every Green Day album,era,symbols,and lyrics and everything Green Day just completely covered and she spoke
'I had my buddies come up her when absolutely no one was up her and spray paint it'and the guys just stood there speechless,and Billie spoke
"Holy fucking shit this is amazing,and fucking cool"and he gave her a hug,and she saw her friends riding so she went and got them and they came over and Billie spoke
'Holy fuck guys this is fucking amazing,thank you guys"
'No problem,Anna said it was your birthday and we didn't mind doing it and it was really fun"and Anna spoke and Billie had a surprise for them and he gave all of Anna's buddies tickets to the show that night and one of them spoke
"Holy shit Billie thanks man"
"Of course,you can enjoy the show and hang with Anna backstage after"he said smiling
'Well what the hell are we waiting for lets ride this fucking thing"Anna said, so they all skated and rode around and had a kick ass time,then eventually just sat up on the benches and hung out and Anna spoke
"So did you guys have to ride from the cops at all"
"Of fuck yeah but they never caught us"
"Same we were all riding at like 1 am and some cops saw us,so we just bolted"
"Nice"
"And y'know what I just thought of'
"Huh"
"We all get to check out girls" and the guys and Anna's buddies just died laughing
"We you're right about that"
"Yep,so who wants to got to the skate shop" and they all agreed and rode over there and walked in and Anna got a crap ton of stickers to put on her boards,so did her buddies and Mike was interested in the Vans so he legit got a pair for everyone,why idk,because Anna only had one pair of converse and her band shoes and her buddies converse were trashed,and he got a pair for Billie and Tre and of course himsef too and they headed back out and got more caffine and one of Anna's buddies spoke
"Oh shit thats my mom's fucking car,shit we gotta go,happy birthday Billie,bye"
"Thanks bye"and they fucking darted,so Anna and the guys went and sat on the gaint stair case and just hung out and Billie spoke
"I'm really glad that you have some good friends"he said smiling
"Yeah its nice for a change,so birthday boy what you wanna do"
"Um well we have a show tonight so go practice sounds good"
"Okay cool" so they rode back to Scott's and when they got there Adrienne spoke
"One,happy birthday Billie,and two did you all get Vans"she said smiling
"Thank you and yes and so did Anna's buddies" and Adrienne gave Billie a hug and spoke
"So what are you guys gonna do now"
"Practice for tonight"

So they practiced until they had to leave at like 7:00 and they ran through the list as many times as they could before they had to leave,so once they were done,they packed up their stuff and headed to the Fiserv Forum and did a sound check and relaxed and Billie knew that this time Anna had some stuff planned,so Anna went and sat up in the rafters when people started showing up and Billie found her and sat down next to you and he noticed the upset look on her face
'Hey whats wrong"
"Nothing I'm just thinking,thats all"and Billie saw that she was rubbing her wristband,so Billie grabbed her hand and just held it and she looked over at him and he just smiled and she smiled back
"So whats bugging you"
"Just shit,like my mom marrying that jerk and just I feel bad for letting it get to me because I don't really care about her,hell I have like no biological family left at this point and even though I haven't seen her in forever and shit,she was one of the main factors that caused my depression and I'm sorry its your birthday I don't want you to be sad,I'll shut up"Anna said with her head down
"No no,hey look at me" and she did
"You're human and stuff is gonna get to you,biological or not me,Adrienne,Mike,and Tre are your family,and its kinda is a good thing that you cut her out of your life if she was one of the main factors of your depression,and its okay" and he gave her a hug and he could that she was silently crying and then she spoke
"Y'know what the fucked up thing is"
"Hmh"
"I have mastered silent crying" and she was just laughing and laid back
"God too many people in my dysfunctional family fucked me up"so he just hugged her again,and was still holding her hand,and she spoke
"I'm sorry,great now I'm gonna be all sensitive for the show"
"Hey you have nothing to be sorry about and its okay I'll help you through it y'know that"he said smiling and he just gave her another hug and wiped her eyes
"Better"he asked smiling
"Yeah"she said smiling back
"And whatever emotions you have right now,just let them out on stage okay,I'll be right there,okay"
"Okay,thanks Billie'
"Yep,and I think we should get down,we go on in a few minutes'
'Yeah" so they got down off the rafters and so they relaxed until they had to go on and Billie told Mike and Tre what was going on with Anna so they knew,and Anna asked
"Is this being broadcasted"
"Yeah I think"
"Okay"so Anna stepped away for a minute and believe it or not called her mom
"Mom I'm playing a show and its being broadcasted and I want you to watch it"
"Okay,bye"
"Bye' and Anna kinda just froze for a second at how heartless her mom sounded,and walked back by Billie and he spoke
"Who was that"
"My mom"
'Fuck what did she say now"he asked looking like he was gonna kill someone
"No no everything is fine I told her to watch the show'
"Oh,but why"
"Well I'm gonna for once and let my mom know how I feel without her yelling at me"and Billie just hugged her
"Good,just let it out and no matter if you cry, yell, or swear I'll be right there"
"Thanks"
"Yep"and now it was time to go on,so Adrienne gave Anna a hug and they walked on stage and Billie spoke
"How you all doing tonight Milwaukee,you ready to fucking rock"and the crowd went crazy,then Anna hesitantly spoke
"Well its Billie's birthday and holy crap you're 48" and she looked at Billie and he just smile and nodded,so Mike,Tre,and Anna had the whole crowd singing Happy Birthday and after he spoke
"Thank you guys and if some of you might ot know this amazing kid next to me is Anna and she is awesome" so Anna spoke
"Is anyone out there from Tosa"and little parts of the crowd cheered
"Well this song is called St.James Street'and they jumped into St.James Street and Anna played it with her heart and soul,then Youngblood and Billie stood right next to Anna,with his arm around her and they sang the whole song and he changed up the lyrics
"Anna's my little Youngblood" and she smiled,and they played through the list and when it hit St.Insomnia Anna spoke
"Growing up I never felt like I had a mom even though I did and the amount of shit she put me through god I hate her,but in a few months she is marrying a stupid,racist,sexist,inconsiderate douche bag and in my mind I don't have a mom,I grew up way too fast because of her and I-I fuck I'm getting emotional and so FUCK YOU TIFFANY and she was one of the main factors that caused my depression and I fucking cut okay, and I'm better now and I have flaws I have scars,but I always felt abandoned and worthless because of her and I cut most of my family out of my life but one thing is for sure,these three awesome guys behind me are my family,FUCK YOU TIFFANY"and then she fell to her knees,and started crying,so Billie ran over to her and gave her a hug and spoke
'Hey its okay I have an idea"so he went and got a member of the crew and had them go into the control room and put a message on the screens behind the guys that said'Anna we love you'and Billie went back by Anna and kneel next to her and he counted off
"1,2,3' and then all you could hear was
"ANNA WE LOVE YOU" and she looked up at the crowd that was all smiling and cheering and then she looked up at Billie and gave him a hug and spoke
'Thank you"she said whispering
"Of course"and then he did something she didn't expect,the next thing she saw was her buddies walking up on stage and they all gave her a hug and she spoke
"Thanks guys"
"Of course" then they all did stage dives and Billie helped Anna up and she spoke
"Thank you and I love you guys to yeah Tiffany I just had a breakdown on stage and they love me at least someone does and now ladies and gentlemen I give you Joan Jett"and Billie looked over at Anna and smiled and Joan came out on stage and gave Billie and Anna a hug and spoke
"Happy birthday Billie,now lets go nuts"so they played through the list and had fun and when it hit King For A Day/Shout,Anna spoke
"When I just turned 13 I remember I was so depressed because I just realised my sexuality and I was filled with guilt,hate and just pure insecurity and fear because of it and these amazing guys behind me helped me realise that I should be who I am and to wear what I want and to not care what other people think about it and i love the entire LGBTQ community,I'm gay and genderfluid and I back all of you and love you"then they played King for a Day and Billie being Billie did not keep it PG 13 the whole time and Anna was just standing there laughing and Billie was smiling because of how happy she looked,and they played through the list and when they played Still Breathing Anna spoke
"I swear this song,when I was so messed and felt like death this was the only thing that revived me and made me look back on some of the few good memories I had when I was younger and damn it's just I can't describe it" and they played it and by the end Anna was standing there in tears and spoke
"See,thats how much fucking power a song can have and I love it and I'm here and still breathing"and the crowd cheered and Billie gave Anna a hug and even he was in tears and then they wiped their eyes and played the list and Anna let out every emotion that she had and felt a hell lot better and then finally they played Thank You and so Anna and Billie played it and by the end of it the had tears in their eyes and Anna spoke
'Give it up for Joan Jett,Mr. Billie Joe Armstrong,Mr.Mike Dirnt,and Mr.Tre Cool"then Billie spoke
"And one more thing FUCK YOU TIFFANY"he said as him,Mike,and Tre flipped the camera off and then Anna spoke one last time
"On the count of three,Happy birthday Billie,we love you"
"1,2,3" and all you heard was
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILLIE,WE LOVE YOU"and Billie went over by Anna and smiled and picked her up and hugged her and put her back down and put his arm around her and spoke
"Give it up for Anna,she has survived hell and back and is an amazing kid,and thank you and goodnight we love you"so they walked off stage and Adrienne gave Anna a hug and spoke
"God you did amazing and I love you"
'Thank you"
"And I let your buddies backstage"
'Oh cool thanks" so she walked over by her buddies and spoke
"Hi guys,and thanks'
"Of course we all have fucked up family,we get it and we got your back and when our friend is having a breakdown like we wouldn't hug them"
"Well thanks,so did you guys enjoy the show'
"Of course,it was awesome"
"Well do you guys wanna meet Joan Jett"and all of her buddies looked in fucking shock
"Wait you're fucking kidding me right,you know Joan Jett too"
"Yeah,look up Anna Kushner and Joan Jett once"
"Well damn,lets go"so they walked over by Joan
"Hey Joan"
'Hi Anna, you did amazing"Joan said giving her a hug
"Well these are my buddies,and they wanted to meet you"
"Okay cool" and one of her buddies stepped forward
"Um your music is kick ass and cool and so are you and um yeah I got nothing"and the rest of them said stuff along those lines and Joan spoke
"You guys seem cool and it was nice meeting you guys" and she signed stuff that they had and one of them spoke after Joan walked away
"Dude,you're family friends with Joan Jett too and you didn't tell us"
"Yeah kinda forgot"she said laughing,and her buddies gave her a hug and spoke
'Well we gotta go or our parents will have our asses"
"K bye guys"and they left and Anna went back over by Billie and he just gave her a hug and then Anna felt her phone vibrate and she looked at it and spoke
"Holy shit I have 23 missed calls from my you know who"and started laughing and Billie spoke
"Ha really"he asked laughing
"Yeah and y'know what"
"Huh"so she stepped by Billie so he could see her phone screen and deleted her mom's contacted and just threw her phone in the air and caught it,and smiled like an idiot and Billie smiled that she was smiling and happy and gave her a hug and she spoke
"Celebratory ice cream"and he just laughed and smiled
"Of course,what else"so they packed up and headed over to Baskin Robbins and it was just Anna and Billie, everyone else headed back to Scott's, so they got ice cream and climbed up on the roof of the church and ate their ice cream and Billie knew something was up
"Huh"
"Nothing"
"Yeah okay"so they ate their ice cream and Billie noticed the upset look on Anna's face
"Hey you okay"
'Yeah,just thank you for what you did tonight"
"Oh of course but why do you look upset"
"Well when I have a breakdown like that then I think about past stuff then I'm usually sad,thats all"
"Oh"and Billie just gave her a hug ,and she laid back and closed her eyes and sighed and spoke
"Damn I can't wait to trash that fucking wedding"she said laughing,smiling
"Yeah me too"Billie said smiling,and Anna's phone rang and it was Adrienne,so she answered and Adrienne told her that everything was ready and she could bring Billie back and hung up
"Who was it"Billie asked
"Adrienne,she said to head back to my place,that she has a surprise"
"Oh cool"so they climbed down and headed back to Scott's and when they got there it was dark and Anna turned on the lights and Adrienne,Mike,Tre,Joan,and Scott and little Billie all popped out and yelled
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY"and Billie gave Anna a hug,and laughed because little Billie legit had a party hat on and Anna laughed too,then they saw the cake and it was as awesome as Anna's,it just had Blue on it instead,and not kidding little Billie had a little cake too and Anna decided to play a little prank on Billie and she spoke
"The cake smells like vanilla"
"Really"so he smelt the cake and Anna pushed his head in the cake and just fell over laughing and everyone else cracked up too and Billie just stood there with a face full of cake
"Well it tasts good thats for sure"he said smiling,ad he wiped his face off,and Anna spoke
"So you wanna open your kick ass presents"
"Sure"so he did and they got him custom Ramones guitar picks,and a new guitar that was customized and the body's design was of every picture that they had taken up until now from the first night Anna spent with Billie to Anna's birthday and he just stared at it in awe and spoke
"Okay who's idea was this"and everyone pointed to Anna and Billie immediately hugged her and had tears of joy running down his face
"That is the coolest guitar ever,I love it,thank you"and he went and grabbed a fat Sharpie and handed it to Anna and spoke
"Its not done yet"
"Wait you want me to sign it"
"Yeah of course"so Anna signed it and Billie could not stop hugging her,so they hung out and relaxed for the rest of the night and had an awesome time and Joan left and everyone finally passed out after a kick ass day.
