New Novel

A new novel? No way...

It's true. A new novel, hopefully. Don't Forget Me, titled after the Chili Peppers song.

It's a sequel to 21st Century Breakdown. The series is called Minority. Also in the works is the 21CB's prequel, American Idiot.
Don't Forget Me isn't an albumfic though. It focuses on Gloria, around 2 or 3 years after the events of 21st Century Breakdown.
That means Gloria's 21, Christian's 22, Maria's 20, Tunny's 25-ish, et cetera.

Anyway. Series post soon. Post on DFM soon.

"Savior" (Billievey)

(Billie Joe's POV)

It kills me not to know this, but I’ve all but just forgotten what the color of his eyes were, or his scars or how he got them. As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten. There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place. And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds. But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear.

“So tell me now, if this ain't love then how do we get out?” I asked. Because I don't know.

That's when he said, “I don't hate you, boy, I just want to save you while there's still something left to save.”

That's when I told him, “I love you, extraordinary girl, but I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have.”

But that day pressed on like crushing weights, for no man does it ever wait like memories of dying days that deafen us like hurricanes. Bathed in flames we held the brand, uncurled the fingers in your hand, pressed into the flesh like sand.

“Now do you understand?” he asked.

Now we’re 1000 miles away and there's nothing left to say. But so much left that I don't know. We never had a choice, this world is too much noise, it takes me under once again
I don’t hate you…

“So tell me now, if this ain't love then how do we get out?” I asked. Because I don't know.

That's when he said, “I don't hate you, boy, I just want to save you while there's still something left to save.”

That's when I told him, “I love you, extraordinary girl, but I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have.”

I don’t hate you.

I don’t hate you, no…

AN: This is mostly for right after American Idiot, when Billie Joe's forgotten Davey's name.
I own nothing.
