Song of the Century

Lillie Joe Fleming is a 13-year-old pre-teen who enjoys reading, drawing, and listening to music. When she is not studying to impress her strict, abusive, mother, she spends her weekends listening to bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At Ths Disco, and Green Day, even though her mother doesn't allow it.

She is loveable and smart, but can also be cowardly. Being abused for eight years can do that to you.

Lillie Joe is pretty short for her age with light skin, green eyes, and black hair. Her friends could never get over how alike she looked to Billie Joe Armstrong. Their names and appearances and an exact match.

Her step-father walked out two years ago; not being able to handle the woman Lillie Joe always believed was her mother.

Lillie Joe's school allows her grade to meet Green Day at a school party when she meets HIM.

"Sing us a song of the century
Seems like American Eulogy
The dawn of my love and conspiracy
Forgotten Hope and the Class of '13
Tell me a story into that goodnight
Sing us a song for me."

"Hey, kid?" A voice asked.

I looked up to see a man who looked exactly like Billie Joe Armstrong.

"My name is Billie, and I'm freaking out," he introduced himself, "How do you know that song?"

Still shocked that it was Billie Joe Armstrong speaking to me, I shakily took my phone out and searched for the video of my dad singing. I offered it to Billie Joe and he looked at it skeptically. He grabbed my phone and played the video.

His eyes filled with tears and he shakily brought his hand to his mouth.

"Lillie Joe?"
