Billie's Daughter

Billie's Daughter

One day I got this strange e-mail:
***

I have a webcam, so you will see me. I will explane everything to you. My hotmail is: BJA@hotmail.com. If you'll do this then email me back to this adress.

So I decided to reply, just to see wich fool is behind all this. I wrote something like this:

***

Then I thought, 'Should I send it?? OK, I will send it, it can't do any harm. I Think....'
I'm still happy that I did.
A new mail came back shortly. It was a short message:

***

Thak you for giving me this opportunity,
Billie Joe Armstrong

I thought 'If this is really him, then I'm very VERY lucky. But if he's another bastard full of sh-t, that only wants to joke around. Then this is really not the way to do it. I mean, at first you say, everything that that person wants to hear, and a few days later you send an e-mail saying: You know, all that was only a joke. I hope you realized that! Who could be so damn selfish!?! Well, I'll see.' The rest of the day was pretty ordinary. I didn't tell anybody about that mail, and nobody asked me.
The next day I couldn't wait until three o'clock. I logged in at exactly 15.00. I saw, that he really entered me in his contact list. He clicked on me a few moments later saying:
***
BJA: Hi Andreja! How are you?
ANDREJA: I'm fine thanks, and you?
BJA: I'm fine too.
BJA: I'm really exited about this and about everything you're about to find out. So, shall we begin??
ANDREJA: OK. Can you turn on your camera, so that I can see your lovely face. If this is really you Billie Joe and not some fool, that's trying to fool me today.
BJA: Well, I'll take that as a compliment, anyways...
*BJA is inviting you to start a video conversation.* -ACCEPT- -DECLINE-
***
I clicked ACCEPT and a few seconds later I could see hiss face, the face of Billie Joe Armstrong. After three deep breaths I wrote him back:
***
ANDREJA: Woow! It's really you. Oh my god!
BJA: Yeah, it's me allright. Now that you've seen me, can we start a voice conversation, cause I really don't want to write all this.
ANDREJA: OK.
*ANDREJA is inviting you to start a voice conversation* -CANCEL-

Billie (saying): »So, can I tell you what I wanted to tell you this whole day? Are you ready?«
Me (saying): »I'm ready. Go ahead. I'll listen carefully.«
Billie: »OK. So here's the thing. When we (Green day) had a tour around Europe, we stopped by in Slovenia, because we heard that's a lovely country. Anyways... .You know how men can get horny, when they're drunk... .So we went to this bar, I think that it was a strip bar. Anyways, I had sex with one of the strippers, and a few days later she called me and told me, that she's pregnant. When I tod that to the guys, the freecked out. So we decided, to take her with us on the rest of the tour -she was a big fan - cause, she could tell everything to the press. After 9 months, she had the baby. We went to this hospital in Nova Gorica, cause nobody there knew who we were. Your mother was just delivering a baby too, but that baby died soon after. Cause we left the hospital right after that woman had the baby the doctors gave your mother you. I assume they've never told her, that her real baby dided. After that day I never saw you again. I've payed the stripper to keep quiet and we retutned to California. On the plane I've decided to call you Maria. Soon after I wrote that song called Maria. I've been looking for you a long time. And a few days back I saw you in the guestbook on one of our fan sites. I've sent them an e-mail, and they've sent me back all your personal information and when I've saw you birthday date I was completely shure that you're my long lost daughter. So, what do you think?? I hope you don't hate me, because I've abandoned you. Andreja, Andreja are you still here????«

I've lost my breath for a second, then I started crying. I don't know why, but I did. Then I sad:
***
Me: »Yes, I'm still here... So, that's the truth, huh??«
Billie: »Yeah, that's the real truth. And I'm planing on comihg to Ajdovščina tomorow. I'll break the truth to your parents too, cause I know, they wouldn't believe you. Is that allright with you? »
Me: »Yes, It's OK I guess... So I'll see you tomorow. Amm... Billie?«
Billie: »Yes, Mar.. .Andreja?«
Me: »How do you know where do we live? Never mind, I know... «
Billie: »OK then. Bye my daughter.«
Me: »Bye, daddy!«
***
He really came the next day (It was Sunday by the way). He gave me a beautiful necklace and we talked all day. My parents were really shocked. I still remember what my mother said: »So you think that you're famous enough to take my daughter away from me???« Fortunatily my father sad, that I can go with Billie Joe to California any time, if this is really what I want. And I went.

THE END! (For now... )
