What!? Billie Joe Armstrong Is My Dad!
Arriving in Cali
After saying bye to my friends, I walked back to the car and we headed home to Oakland. I have so many questions to ask Bill-uhh I mean dad. Why has he come now after 14 years of my life? Did he know about me? Was dad and mum together or was it just a one night stand?
“Hey sweetie, what’s wrong?” Dad asked
“Nothing just thinking, hey dad, did you know that mum had me?” I asked
“Yes sweetie but she didn’t want me to have anything to do with you. I tried to visit you but every time I came your mother told me to leave and said that you didn’t want anything to do with me.” Dad said
“Were you and mum together?” I asked again, I was curious
“Yupp, but after she found out she was pregnant she left me. She said that because I am ‘famous’ she doesn’t want her child to know about me. I tried to get custody of you when you were about 1 but because I am a male the court tends to pick the mother. I was heartbroken I wanted to get to know you, but now I get the chance to because you are going to live with me.” Dad said uneasily
“Well they should have picked you because mum comes home drunk all the time, then she starts hitting me and tells me I am the outcast of the family. You don’t know how glad I am to be out of that house, I hated living there with them. Do you know what it’s like getting hit by your mother and step-dad?” I asked
“Yea hun. After my dad died your grandmother remarried to a guy named Greg. We all hated him and he used to hit us all the time and mum didn’t do anything. But after awhile she finally divorced him. We were so glad to see that day.” Dad replied.

We finally arrived back to Oakland. We pulled up the driveway and I swear the house was a mansion. It was two stories and was a creamy white colour. I am going to enjoy living here. We walked into the house and I nearly fainted. The house was so nice and standing by the door was, Adie, Joey, Jakob, Tre and Mike.
“Guys, this is Charlotte, Charlie for short.” Dad said
“Hey Charlie.” They all said together
“Hey babe, why don’t you go show Charlie her room.” Dad said giving Adie a kiss on the cheek
Adie and I walked up the stairs and started talking about me and my life. We finally arrived at my room. It was so huge; it was 3 times the size as my room back at Rodeo. I had my own en suite and a walk in wardrobe which was massive. After I finished un packing my stuff I went downstairs and had lunch.
“Hey babe, I am gonna head over to the school with Charlie and get her enrolled for next week.” Dad said grabbing his keys
Dad and I walked out to his black BMW and headed for the school. We jumped out of the car and started walking towards the main office. When we go inside we got handed forms to fill out which dad made me do because he didn’t no that much about me. When I was done filling out the forms, it was lunchtime.
“Charlie, watch out there will be teenies on the prowl.” Dad said scared
“HEY LOOK, IT’S BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG!” Some kid yelled out
“RUN CHARLIE!” Dad yelled
When we got to the car we headed to the mall to get some new clothes and shit for me. Dad took me to Hot Topic and I got some black tight jeans, a black and red tartan skirt, a studded belt, a red shirt with a skull on it, new low-cut red converse and a Green Day shirt. After we had finished we went to the car and headed home.
One Week later**
BEEP, BEEP!!
Today was my first day of school at Oakland High. I got out of bed showered and got dressed into black tight pants and studded belt, red shirt with a black skull and my red converse. Breakfast was ready so I went downstairs and had breakfast. Adie had cooked Pancakes with Jam and cream. After Joey Jakob, Dad and I had finished breakfast we all piled into dads black BMW and drove to school. Joey and Jakob were the first stop at Oakland Primary and the end of the line was me. When we arrived I gave dad a kiss on the cheek and headed for the student office.
“Excuse me; I’m a new student Charlie Armstrong. I need to collect my timetable please.” I asked
“Sure I’ll just print it out for you.” The lady said
After I got my timetable I headed to my homeroom. My teacher is Mr. Way…mmhhh I wonder if it’s Gerard or Mikey way? When I entered the classroom I felt the whole class staring at me. I walked up to the teacher and introduced myself.
“Excuse me class, we have a new student. Her name is Charlie Armstrong.” Mr. Way said
Damn it...Mr. Way isn't Gerard or Mikey. Oh well not a suprise, I mean this school is a shit hole.
“Why don’t you go sit next to Josh, he is sitting up the back.” The teacher said pointing to him
When I got to the correct spot I sat down and introduced myself to Josh. He looked like a really nice guy.
“Hey, my name’s Charlie.”
“Hey Charlie, my name’s Josh but you can call me Joja.” Josh said
“Why do people call you Joja?” I said wondering
“In honour of the greatest man i ever had the opportunity to meet." Joja replied
“Oh ok, so Josh tell me a bit about yourself.” I asked
“I am a Christian. I love Jesus. My favourite bands, Planetshakers, Hillsong and Delerious. I am a pretty cool guy, I love my friends. I am pretty popular to. So Charlie tell me a bit about you.”Joja said
“I just moved here from Rodeo. I just found out that my mother has been hiding a very big secret from me for 14 years. My mum used to abuse me but I don’t live with her anymore I live with my dad. My favourite bands are Green Day, My Chemical Romance and 30 seconds to mars. I literally live in a mansion.” I replied
“If you don’t mind me asking, what was the very big secret?” Joja asked curious
“No it’s okay. Well the secret was that my real dad is Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer of Green Day. So one day I came home from school and Billie was at my house and told me that he was my real father and asked me to come and live with him. Do you mind if I sit with you at lunch? I don’t really have anyone else to sit with.” I asked and explained at the same time.
“Sure, I’ll meet you back here when class is finished.” Joja replied
After maths had finished I headed back to my homeroom class to meet Josh. When I arrived Joja was waiting so we started walking towards their seating area.
“Hey sweetie, what’s wrong?” Dad asked
“Nothing just thinking, hey dad, did you know that mum had me?” I asked
