"When you hurt people for so long, it becomes apart of you. 
It was the only way I could feel."

•1994, Modern music & technology. •

You could tell when the world was perfect. 
The time, the weather, the earth. 
Atleast, Roseabella could. 
She was a girl, with dyed hair and a low self esteem. Secretly smoking pot, sneaking out to look at the clouds at three in the morning. Typical, right? Not exactly. 
Then again, neither was Billie.  
Murderous and looks as sharp as a blade. 
What is it about those chords that he plays,
And the lyrics he sings,
And the looks those eyes give?
Those dark, green eyes. 
Roseabella's world was odd. 
But, then again,
So was his.

What a tragedy // Billie Joe Armstrong by PrivateAIe
35 parts Complete
"I write best when I'm falling in love, or falling apart." He muttered to himself, his gaze was on the guitar he had gently settled into his lap as he traced over the initials 'BJ' on it with his index finger. "Which one is it right now?" I asked nervously. He looked up at me with his green eyes only for a split second, soon looking back down. Like he feared I would see the pain painted behind his jade green orbs. But if he already knew I had already saw it. "Both." He said, finally looking up at me. That's when I noticed the pool of tears for everything that he had left unspoken, with one blink they would be running down his cheeks. And I hope he didn't let them, because I couldn't see him cry. "I love you, and it's killing me." I bit my lip painfully trying to stop myself from crying. He was the right one, my heart told me when my eyes first landed on him. But he wasn't mine, and that tore me up. Because I craved him to be. I sighed, "you're breaking my heart billie." I whispered, watching the tears roll down his dull face. "I love you. And loving you feels like some sort of self destruction when I'm not suppose to but my god armstrong I love you." I sobbed. It seems to be that love could be labelled poison and we would drink it anyways. I looked at him, the sadness in his eyes felt like it was tearing me up from the inside starting with the heart. But I felt guilty to look away. "But you know we shouldn't." I said Painfully, he nodded biting his lip. "We should only be friends." "But friends don't look at each other the way we do." And I needed him, he was my life line. And he told me he needed me, he said I was his sanity. But although it felt we lived worlds against each other, one thing we both knew was. 'I'm fine.' Sounds the same. Even when it's not true ----------------- She loved him more than he would ever know. And he loved her more than he would ever show. What a tragedy. (Little spoiler, but it does end happily I promise.)
Victim of the Symptom(billie joe armstrong x reader) by greendaysmylove_21
8 parts Complete Mature
Victim of My Symptom is an emotionally charged fanfiction set in the late 1990s-early 2000s, during the peak of Billie Joe Armstrong's struggles with addiction and fame. Lila Carter, a young and ambitious journalist, finds herself drawn into the chaotic, unpredictable world of the Green Day frontman after a chance meeting at a high-profile event. What starts as a career-defining interview quickly spirals into something deeper as Lila becomes entwined in Billie Joe's life-caught between his charm, vulnerability, and the dark, destructive habits that threaten to consume him. As Lila navigates the blurred lines between professional and personal, she meets Billie's longtime friends and bandmates, Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt, who are trying to manage their own lives while witnessing Billie's decline. Torn between the allure of Billie's intoxicating energy and the growing awareness of the danger he represents, Lila faces a choice: stay by his side and risk losing herself, or walk away before she becomes a victim of the symptom. Victim of the Symptom is a gritty exploration of addiction, fame, and the complexities of love, set against the backdrop of the rock and roll lifestyle. It's a story about the people we try to save and the cost of letting their demons consume us. (just a sidenote, so the stroy makes sense, billie and adrienne are divorced in this stroy, it isnt brang up, but thats why his kids arent there, they are with their mother at the time it takes place)

Why did he have to have a sister? Why couldn't it be a boy? She and him had nothing in common, Billie was more outgoing and she was laid back when she wanted to be. In fact, she had multiple personalities. Long story short, her and Billie didn't have the best relationship, but he always covered for her when needed. Now eighteen and freshly out of jail after making some bad choices, Velvet is forced to go with Billie and the guys on a world wide tour with their band, which nobody is excited about. It was supposed to get Velvet into the outdoors and make her wake up from her bad decisions so she could restart her life. The little girl Mike once knew and always shoved away was now grown up and different than she used to be. He forgot about the little girl who used to hug his leg and call him her big brother. She's changed, but he knows that the little girl is still in there somewhere, and he plans on making her resurface. SUPER LONG DESCRIPTION. OMG!!!
