It started with the grain of hate that festered in the hearts of both the fearful and the jealous, poisoning both innocent victims and vindictive narcissists. It was the septic toxin that crept through the veins of community and turned neighbour against neighbour based on nothing more than the etymology of a surname or the birth place of a grandparent. It was hateful and uncompromising, and took lives without mercy, just as it had throughout all of human history. What happened in 2017 wasn't the consequence of Brexit, or 7/7, or even 9/11. It wasn't the consequence of the miner's strikes or the Gulf War. It wasn't a result of the Holocaust, or the Crusades, or the fall of Rome. 2017 came about because people are tribal, and while that can lead to communities holding hands and standing for the greater good, it can also cause them to see people who are 'other' as something 'bad'. As something which needs to be destroyed. We're considered vermin now; rats to be captured and killed. Undesirables whose heads are covered by red bags marked with the Home Office logo as we're tossed into the back of black vans, never to be seen or heard from again. This is the new order, in the new world. This is 'Great' Britain, the country of my birth where my children, my husband, and I no longer belong. Welcome to the Disunited Republic of Little England.

"Its been one year and eight months since, and now all of a sudden you bring her up, why now? Out of all days?" I ask Jake sincerely. "I can see the act your putting up in front of everyone. The recklessness and all. You can get away with all of that with everyone else, but you can't fool me Bil," Jake tells me concerningly. "Why does it matter? I moved on, I have Drew. I'm not stuck on her anymore. Clearly - I've proven that by now," I say to Jake. "Do you mean that sincerely?" Jake asks me. I huff before looking back at Jake. "Yes. I do," I say to him truthfully. "Alright well. Finneas decided that it was best that I'd break the news to you," Jake says before sitting up in his seat. I look at him with my eyebrows furrowed, and suddenly a deep trench of anxiety forms in the pit of my stomach. "What is it?" I ask him. He hesitates before speaking. "Lilith is coming back to LA to work on the stage crew," Jake says. My eyes slightly widen. Fuck. ~~~ A year has gone by and now Lilith is back. Although a reunion is coming up, a year can change a person drastically, and as they say, change is inevitable. Will Lilith be able to reconnect with Billie? Or is it seemingly hopeless? Will Lilith finally remember Billie? Or did change form Lilith into a completely different person? ~~~ (This is the Second Book to the first book called 'Sweet Belladonna'. I highly recommend you go back to read the first one before continuing on reading this one, or else you'll be majorly confused.) ~~~ AU (Alternate Universe); Though some characters are real, this is fiction. Keep that in mind. Will contain explicit language, depression, anxiety episodes, violence, smoking, drinking, trauma, drugs, and real-life events that occur. +18 Votes and Comments help me a ton, so please feel free to do so.
