"BABYY...wake up, wake up, wake up" Claudia said jumping on the bed like a 5 year old. "Today is our 6 months and I don't want to waist a second of it so get up and dressed" she said throwing cloths at me "Babe...Babe...CLAUDIA...I have to take a shower and do my hair and makeup" I said making the bed "uggh but that's going to take you hours and you don't need it baby you Beautiful just the way you are" she said giving me a kiss " But that breath ain't to beautiful" "I JUST WOKE UP" I said laughing

I was ready by 10 and so we went out to eat at a little cafe. I ordered a caramel ice coffee and a everything bagel. She got green tea and avocado toast. As we were sitting down a song came on that caught me off guard because I know I have heard that voice before. Then it hit me Billie. But no that can't be she hates singing and the thought of fame couldn't be her.  So I just left it alone.

The rest of the day was amazing we went park and goofed around. On the way home I heard the same song the cafe was playing. "Hey babe, do you know who sings this" "no but she sounds good you should look her up". But that was the issue I wanted to but what if that was her. What if that was her plan, and I just messed it all up. I decided not to look into it for my sake.

life went on as normal, until one day I woke up to Claudia scream singing in the shower. " THE FRIENDS I'VE HAD TO BURY, THEY KEEP ME UP AT NIGHT" she yelled in the shower. Idk what don't it is but I know the lyrics so I opened the curtain and sang the next part. "Said I couldn't love someone 'cause I might break if your gonna die not by mistake" I sang looking at her with a huge grin on her face "so we're did you go I should know but it's cold and I don't wanna be lonely so tell me you'll come home. Even if it's just a lie" we sang in unison "you know that song" "no" "then how did you know the lyrics" she said in confusion as I closed the curtain. I went back to the bed and laid down. And that's when it hit me. I ran to my box and got out the not Billie left me 4 years ago when my mom moved us. I looked over the note really fast and that how I knew the lyrics. It was the poem Billie gave me.

Billie never stoped thinking about me. This was her plane. She has been working on getting us back together. I feel so stupid now. I told myself I would wait for her and now look at me. In a whole other relationship because I thought she gave up.

I started sobbing when Claudia played the song over the speakers we had. "What's wrong, it's okay" "No Claudia it's not. That song is the poem she left me when my mom separated us look" I gave her the note and she read over it "oh my god" "OH MY GOD IS THAT REALLY ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY. The person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with never forgot about me like I did her. She never wanted to be a professional singer or famous. She did that for me and I ruined it all." "How did you ruin it" "By forgetting about her and Dating you" I stormed out of our apartment and went for a drive around the city. Then I found myself at a park stalking Billies social media. I was so happy to see her again. I followed her and it turns out she is going on tour. I was debated whether or not I should go but I said Fuck it and go two tickets plus's meet and greet tickets so I could actually talk to her again.

"SIERRA" I heard someone yell so I looked up and say Claudia running to me crying. "I am so sorry for everything I know how much you loved her I should never had yelled at you about always talking about her. Please don't be mad at me Sierra, I love you" Claudia said between sobs on my shoulder "it's okay I should never have went off on you like that, I love you too" I said giving her a kiss on the head.
