Taken | billie eilish

3 | thank you

... a girl lifted her head and turned my way once she noticed my headlights and began banging on the window yelling "help!"

oh my God. that's B- Billie Eilish.

she seemed to be the only one in the car right now so i'm guessing whoever is driving went inside the store and left her in the car.

at least the windows aren't tinted, amateur.

she had the most terrified look on her face. tears streaming down her eyes as she just looked hopeless.

fuck, what do i do? i'm scared! what if the man comes back to the car any second now? you know what? fuck it.

panicked, i hopped out of my white mercedes benz and instantly ran 3 steps to the passenger side where Billie was, and began yanking the door handle as hard as i could. it was most definitely on child lock as she couldn't get it open either.

i went to the back seat of my car and opened the door to grab the metal baseball bat i keep on the car floor. i ran back up to Billie and told her to back up from the window and cover her face by motioning with my hands.

she instantly put a hoodie on her head and shielded herself. i gripped the bat firmly and swung with all my might, shattering the window of the passenger side where Billie was sitting.

everything after that seemed so blurry and in the blink of an eye as my adrenaline quickly kicked in.

my ears rang as the car alarm began blistering my ear drums. i immediately reached in to grab Billie by her underarms and pull her out. it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be considering she basically threw herself head first out of the window after pressing her hands down on the broken glass to lift herself up from the seat.

i pulled her out, scraping her shins across the broken glass of the shattered window. "get in!" i yelled to her, pointing to the back seat of my car; she quickly did so. i picked up the baseball bat that i had dropped to the ground earlier and right as i look up, i see a very upset man running out of the store towards us.

oh shit.

being in the heat of the moment, i decided to bash his headlights with the bat as well. in case he tries to chase us, he won't get very far with the cops around here. i got in my car, reversed that bitch and sped off, passing by a couple of people with shocked faces from the scene they just watched.

"fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck," i repeatedly said while keeping my eyes on my rear view mirror, watching to see if the man would start chasing us. and that's exactly what he did.

granted, i sped off way before he even made it to his car so we were pretty far already. i decided to take a couple of turns where i know the police are ducked off hiding around this time of night.

i soon sighed of relief when blue and red lights and sirens flashed from a mile back, letting me know that he was getting pulled over and i could finally breathe.

honestly, Billie and i said no words to each other during the car ride. we couldn't even see each other. i was in the front seat, driving, trying to realize wtf i had just done. and Billie was laying down in the back seat (so she wouldn't be seen by any other car.)

i guess she didn't notice how tinted my windows are. maybe she was realizing that she had gotten into a car with a complete stranger and had no idea where she was going. all you could hear was heavy breathing from the both of us.

i began to question myself on where i was actually going to take her. "um... B- B- Billie?" i started once i finally had the courage.

"huh?" she replied, still face down into the seat.

"ar- are you okay?" i asked trying to look behind the seat at her.

obviously not.

"ummm.. uh, yea," she hesitantly said. "thank y- you b- by the way," she struggled to say as she was rising from lying down.

i just grinned. "um do you wanna go to the police station?" i started. "or like do you need a hospitaaaaaaal," i dragged.

i left out the option of my house because i figured she wouldn't wanna go to another stranger's place after what just happened. but her facial expression said otherwise.

"i- i don't know. i- i just need to call my family and let them know im okay," she said in a worried tone. which i completely understand so i instantly grabbed my phone where i noticed i had several messages and missed calls from Austin.

fuck.

Austin <3 :
3 Missed Calls
babe where are you????
i've been sitting in your driveway for 30 minutes.
are you okay? like did you fall asleep?
bruh i'm leaving, call me when you wake up i guess.

wake up?? i guess?? maybe he thought i was at home and my car was just in the garage so he couldn't see it but damn.

what if something had happened to me? mf i expect you to climb to my window and see if i'm in there. so much for making sure i'm okay.

i rolled my eyes at my screen and handed my phone to Billie so that she could dial her people. "i'll just drive to my house for right now okay?" i asked looking back at her. she nodded letting me know that it was okay.

we pulled up to my house as Billie was on her third attempt to call her mother's phone. "she probably doesn't recognize the area code but fuck!" she exclaimed.

"just text her and tell her it's you, or try someone else," i suggested, watching my garage door close.

"hello?" asked an eager woman over the phone. "ma- mom," Billie said as she began to sob. "mom it's me Billie," she cried.

i turned around in my seat so that i am facing Billie. but it's honestly so dark, we can barely see each other's faces completely. she looked up at me, teary eyed with a small grin and mouthed the words "thank you."

a/n: omg y'all! i procrastinated so much while writing this because i was trying to decide what was finna go down lol.
