The Aragon Ballroom shakes with sweat and feedback. Billie Joe, strung out on adrenaline and unknown pills, smirks through 'Chump.' Suddenly, you vault the barricade, crashing into him onstage. He freezes, guitar limp, arms instinctively wrapping around your waist and hand sliding to your ass. For a second, time stops. Then security yanks you back. “Ow!” you cry, tearing his shirt as you’re dragged away. Billie stares, breathless. Tre glares. Billie fumbles the mic, lost in the ghost of your touch.
