*Ding* The big grandfather clock chimed as the time struck 3:00PM. 𝘈𝘯𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘸. Billie always comes over at 3, it's been like this for all the years I've known her. I gulped as I felt my stomach doing flips. I'd had feelings for her for a few weeks now and I had finally decided to tell her about them. I arose from my seat at the kitchen island and began to pace at the front door. The house was empty and silent apart from the common creaking of the old chestnut wood. I froze in my tracks as the sound of a car stopping outside caught my attention. 𝘚𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦. I felt like my legs were about to collapse and my stomach started to hurt because of the anxiety of the situation. I was nervous as Billie was my only friend and I didn't want to loose her. She is the only thing I look forward to in my sad, empty fate that torments me everyday.

*Knock knock* She knocked at the door in the very nostalgic way she had for our whole friendship. I hurried to the large front door and rubbed the base of my wrists together to get a hold of my nervous state. I pulled the door open and smiled at Billie who was fixing her hair in a small hand mirror. "Hi (y/n)! How are you?" She quickly hugged me tight which caught me by surprise as she has never done this before. "Hey Billie, I'm good what about you? Are you ok, you never hug me?" I chuckled and she pulled out of the unexpected hug with her hands still on my shoulders. "Yeah I'm great, I've just missed you a lot." She smiled at me and I did the same, then we walked into the kitchen. "Coffee?" She took a seat at the kitchen island and placed her bag on the surface. "Yes, and 2-" I finished her sentence for her. "Sugars, yes I remember Billie." She looked at me while biting the inside of her cheek. I chuckled and started making the coffee. "So, how was filming? I heard you went to some asylum? Briarcliff was it?" I turned and leaned against the kitchen counter while talking to her. "Oh yeah well it was ok, just really sad. I contacted the ghost of a nun called Mary who died at the facility and it was so heart breaking. She talked about how she always felt trapped and hidden. She ended up telling me she liked girls and actually fell in love with one of the patients, Lana I think it was." I frowned at the tragic story that she told me about. "Oh god, that's awful, poor Mary." I realised the microwave had stopped and the water was hot so I took them out and made the coffee as Billie started talking again.

"Yeah I felt terrible, it's like a Shakespearean tragedy. Ends in death. I just think that it couldn't have been too late, you know? Being a ghost shouldn't affect a relationship, it's not a big deal." I gulped my coffee down and stared at my hand on the counter, feeling nervous yet again. "Hey, (y/n) are you ok?" Billie stood up and walked in front of me. "Ye- yeah, I'm fine don't worry about me." She looked concerned but still smiled at me. I handed her the cup of coffee and we walked into the living room. "How was your week (y/n). Anything interesting happen?" I smirked at her, puzzled. "Well let's see, I looked out the window on Monday. And umm- Oh, I listened to music on Wednesday." I spoke sarcastically and laughed along with Billie as we sat next to each other on the couch. I put my coffee on the table in front of the sofa. "Anyways why do you ask? You know that nothing interesting will ever happen here. It's always boring and solitude in this house." She smiled sympathetically at me and put her hand on my lap. I felt my eyes widen and I looked down at her hands. "Ok (y/n) I swear to god, what is up with you? You seem off, is something bothering you?" I closed my eyes as she asked me this and I swallowed hard. "I um- I need to tell you something," She put her coffee down on the small table and looked back into my eyes. "But I don't wanna say anything because-" I closed my eyes and threw my head back, trying to collect myself. "Hmm? What is it (y/n)? You know you can tell me anything?" I looked back into her dark brown eyes as I felt mine fill up. "I uh- I think 𝙄 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪,"

I closed my eyes and a tear fell down my cheek. "Billie I- I'm so sorr-" My words were cut off by her lips on mine. I was in shock but instinctively kissed her back. The kiss lasted a few seconds before she pulled away and smiled while blushing. "Wow um- that was-" She finished my sentence just like I did to her earlier. "Amazing?" She chuckled in her perfect voice. "Yes, yes that was incredible," She looked down at her hands and then back at my eyes. "So you're not mad at me?" She looked surprised and held both my hands in front of us. "(y/n) I like you too. I have liked you for a while now I just- I didn't want to tell you in case- In case I lost you." Her voice broke when she said the last bit and her eyes filled with tears. "Hey, hey no, it's ok," I placed my hands gently on her cheeks as she closed her eyes and the tears fell. "I feel the same. I didn't want to lose you, you mean too much to me I just- I couldn't keep it a secret anymore. And now I know you feel the same and I just- couldn't be happier." I didn't even care and started crying tears of pure joy. She put her hand on my neck and kissed me again. This time the kiss was more passionate and had a salty taste from our combined tears. She pulled away and whispered to me. "I promise I will never leave you." I laughed and bit my lip in a mix of happiness and sadness I couldn't describe. "I promise to never leave you too." She smiled at me and hugged me close.
