blair's pov
i'm enjoying the peaceful car ride home when, 'when i was older,' started playing. i smirk, turning this shit up. i bop my head to the fire beat that's slowly escalating. i wait until my favorite part comes on,
"i'm watching movies back to back
in black and white
i never
seen anybody do it like i do it any better
i'm going over you
i'm overdue for new endeavors
nobody lonely like i'm lonely
and i don't know whether
you'd really like it in the limelight
you'd sympathize with all the bad guys
i'm still a victim in my own right
but i'm the villain in my own eyes, yeah" a smile tugs on my lips as the song comes to an end.
i pull into the 7 eleven, parking my car. i walk in grabbing a few snacks and filling my cup with blue raspberry slushee.
"oh, what's sup blair" i hear someone call my name. i turn around and see finneas.
"hey finneas, how are you?" i ask, putting the lid on the cup and poking in a straw.
"been well, just a little stressful moving in and dealing with label shit" he says, filling up 2 other cups with slushees. "i'm just glad billie's happy here, especially since she met you. her life's been rocky recently and... it's just a good distraction is all i'm saying" he smiles.
"yeah, i understand" i chuckle. "she's really chill and easy to get along with" i place my items on the counter, "for his too" i say noding at finneas' slushies.
"oh you don't have to."
"it's fine, don't worry about it-"
"ughh, finneas what's taking so long. i'm thirsty as fuck" i hear the all too familiar voice. "oh, hey blair, didn't know you was here" she smiles.
"yeah, here you go. and we was talking about your impatient ass" finneas chuckles handing her one of the slushies.
"hey billie" i smile, taking my change before we walk out.
"yeah y'all are so funny" billie replies, "blair wanna chill with us? we're just working on some unfinished shit" billie ask with hopeful eyes.
"sure why not" i reply getting into my car. i look over towards billie, winking, as i rev the engine.
"your car has nothing on dragon" billie yells getting into the car. i raise my eyebrow, pssh.
i drive home, finneas annoyingly honking at me, at every red light. i park my car in my driveway and run towards billie's house. their still in the car so i decided to get finneas back. i walk up to the drivers side and begin tapping on the window repeatedly.
"okayyy, i get it" he yells through the window. he unlocks his car attempting to open the door, but i immediately put all my weight on it.
"that's what you get" i laugh. billie gets out the car with a chuckle.
"are you not gonna help?" he yells at billie.
"nah, i'm all set" she smirks. she looks up at me and i give her another wink. she looks away, her cheeks turning pink.
is billie eilish blushing???
i get off the door following billie into the house.
"this isn't over, blair" finneas grunts, closing the door behind him. i turn around, flicking him off with a smirk, running in after billie.
"how was the meeting kids? oh hey blair, how are you darling?" maggie ask, baking muffins.
"hey maggie, i'm doing well. how are you?" i ask, sitting at the island.
"i'm doing good" she responds with a smile.
"okay, that's enough. we need to get to work" billie says tugging on my shirt. i raise my eyebrows, following billie's lead. she leads me down the hallway and towards the basement.
i'm left in awe at the amazing sight. "this...this is amazing" i comment.
"it's not finished yet" she sighs, plopping down onto the couch. "we need to soundproof the room" she adds.
"this shits still dope as fuck" i smile, running my fingers across the keys. "how many fucking keyboards do y'all own?" i chuckle.
"10" i hear finneas comment, "now get your filthy hands off em" he jokes. i walk towards billie, taking off my fanny and mcm bag, sitting next to her.
"alright let's get some work done. you heard the label, they want this done by the end of october" finneas informs, searching through his laptop, opening up logic pro. billie looks over at me and i smile, but she doesn't return it.
"wanna sing what you got?" he plays the beat, as i move my head with it.
she looks back at me and it's like she's nervous. "i can leave if you want... don't wanna interrupt the talent" i say beginning to stand, as finneas pauses the beat.
"no, i invited you goofy" she chuckles, pulling me back down. "play this shit" billie nod towards finneas. she pulls out a notebook and flips through her pages. words and sketches filling the pages top to bottom. the beat starts up again,
"i had a dream
i got everything i wanted
not what you'd think
and if i'm being honest" billie's angelic voice fills the room. her eyes are closed, while one of her hands pull on a string that's on her pants.
"it might've been a nightmare
to anyone who might care
thought i could fly
so i stepped off the golden, mm
nobody cried
nobody even noticed
i saw them standing right there
kinda thought they might care" she comes to a stop, finneas pausing the instrumental. i take a moment to let the lyrics soak in.
"um, billie you sure you wanna continue writing this song?" finneas twirls around in the chair.
"yesssuh, finneas we talked about this" she sighs. i wish i knew more about billie.
"alright, alright... so maybe repeat the pre-chorus
'i had a dream
i got everything i wanted...
but when i wake up, i see
you with me'" finneas changes the ending.
"and you say, 'as long as i'm here, no one can hurt you
don't wanna lie here, but you can learn to" billie adds.
"'if i could change the wayyy that you see yourself
you wouldn't wonder why your here
they don't deserve youuu" finneas quietly sings.
"damnnn y'all are talented" i look between the both of them, a smile escaping their lips.
