A/N - I know I've been neglecting this book, and I'm sorry. School has just started back and I'm getting used to it again. I'm going to make an upload schedule soon, so hang in there.

You and Galileo run out of the Heartbreak Hotel and race through the underworld, preying that no one was following you. You finally reach the ladder and Galileo climbs up first.
"Here, give me your hand," he says. You grab his hand and he helps pull you up. You've ended up where you met Britney and Meat for the first time, right next to the old van.

"How did Khashoggi find the Heartbreak Hotel?" he says.
"He must have some way of tracking us," you reply.
"The hospital! When they operated on our heads!" Galileo shouts. He grabs your head and feels around your forehead.
"I think I found something," he says. You grab a piece of broken glass from the van.
"Cut it out," you hand him the glass.
"What!" he says, pushing the glass towards you.
"Gazz, if the cops have bugs in our heads, they'll track us down in hours. Cut it out!" you push the glass into his hand. He cuts the bug out of your head. It stings a little.
"He's had us from the start. He's heard everything," he exclaims.
"Hello pervert. Short sentence, second word is off," you say to the bug.
"Ok, now me," Galileo hands you the glass shard and you cut out the bug in his head.
"Quick, crush them," he says.
"What? A couple of state of the art micro transceivers? No way, I'll just activate the maximum negativity spectrum," you grab them from Galileo's hand.
"What?"
"Turn them off."

You both sit in the van.
"We're all that's left now, (Y/N), you know that, don't you? The Bohemians are finished. The Heartbreak Hotel destroyed. Only we escaped," Galileo says.
"Britney Spears died to save us," you say, "to save you."
"And he must not have died in vain. It's up to us now. We're part of the underworld (Y/N). You and me, cast adrift. There's no going back, not now, not ever."
"We never belonged anyway. Did you notice, you lost your stutter."
"I feel different."
"We're both different... for the first time in my life, I don't hate myself."
"And I don't want to die, I've found something to live for."
"The dream?"
Galileo locks eyes with you.
"You... we will be caught in the end, you know that, don't you?"
"Yes, I know. And probably killed."
"I love you (Y/N)," he declared.
"I love you too, Gazz."
"Do you think maybe just once you could use my whole name?"
"I love you, Gazza Fizza," you take his hand.
"Well, if you love me then dying doesn't matter much at all, does it?"
"No."

"There's no time for us," you say, "there's no place for us. What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us? Who wants to live forever?"
"Who wants to live forever?" he replies, "there's no chance for us, it's all decided for us. This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us. Who wants to live forever?"
"Who wants to live forever?" you reply, "who dares to love forever?"
"Oh, when love must die!" he cries. He collapses in sobs, looking away from you. You touch his shoulder, but he's unresponsive. You try to get closer to him, but he pulls away. You persevere, eventually pulling him to you. You rest his head on your shoulder and stroke his hair as he cries.

"But touch my tears with your lips," you say into his hair.
"Touch my world with your fingertips," he looks up at you, and you both kneel up.
"And we can have forever."
"And we can love forever," in a moment of pure emotion, you fall. Galileo wraps a protective arm around your shoulders.
"Forever is ours today," he says.
"Who wants to live forever."
"Who wants to live forever."
"Forever is ours," you look up at him.
"Who waits forever, anyway?" he says. He pulls off his jacket and you both lie back in the van...
