Listen To Your Heart ~ Book One.

Unexpected Vacation?

(After the meeting, Billie is clearly upset. She calls me and has me meet her. As soon as I get off of my Harley, she throws her arms around my waist and holds me tight.)

"Whoa! I missed you too but go easy on me here."

"Hold me."

(I put my arms around her and hug her tight. I realize she's practically shaking.)

"Hey...talk to me. You, okay?"

(Sniffles)"No."

"What's wrong? Is it the baby? How'd the meeting go?"

"I don't want to talk about it. Just hold me."

"Okay."

(She's quiet for a while.)

"David?"

"Yes beautiful?"

"You love me...don't you?"

"Of course, I do. I'm holding you in my arms, aren't I?"

"Then why aren't we married yet?"

"Because I haven't decided yet. Besides...I'm not marrying just anybody...I'm marrying the incredible Billie Eilish. It takes time to set up the wedding of the century."

"I don't want the wedding of the century. I just want to be in your arms where I'm safe and warm."

"I'll always keep you safe, Billie."

"Promise?"

"I promise."

"Promise to always love me?"

(I kiss her forehead.)

"I promise to always love you, Billie."

"No matter what happens between us?"

"Now I am worried about you. What's going on?"

(Huffs)"Forget I said anything."

(She pulls away and looks out across Los Angeles. I come up behind her, and slowly put my arms around her waist. I begin gently kissing her neck. She pulls away again.)

"WILL YOU KNOCK IT THE FUCK OFF ALREADY! GOD, YOU'RE FUCKING ANNOYING!"

(I back away.)"Sorry."

(She wipes tears from her eyes.)

"Thank you...I'm okay now."

"You're welcome. What was that about anyway? You sure you're, okay?"

"I said I didn't want to fuckin talk about it!"

"Okay...okay. Sorry for caring...damn."

"So, you ready to go?"

"Go?"

"Yea...on our vacation."

"Uh...yea. I guess. Where are we going? I thought you had to do interviews and stuff with the media?"

"No... managements going to handle everything. So, when can we leave? I want to get out of here as soon as possible."

"I just got to pack some clothes. Want me to meet you at your place?"

"No... I'll call you later."

(Later that night, Billie packs some clothes in a duffel bag, and sneaks out a window. She hops in a UBER, and soon arrives across the street from Valerie's house. She jumps out of the car and gives me a hug.)

"I still say this is a crazy idea. We're just going to hop on a plane and go wherever it takes us?"

"Yes! What's crazy about that?"

"Well...for starters. I have no idea which direction we're heading?"

"East."

"Okay...and why east?"

"You'll see."

(I give Billie a look, but she only smiles and holds my hand as we get into the UBER. We soon arrive at LAX airport.)

(We go inside, and approach Terminal 3. Billie approaches the desk.)

"Hi...I'm Billie Baird. I called earlier and reserved two tickets to Harrisburg, Pa?"

"Here you are, miss. Two first class tickets to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Your flight is boarding at gate 7...which is that way to the right."

"Thank you."

(Billie grabs our tickets, as I follow her onto the plane. We take our seats in first class.)

"Harrisburg?"

"Yes."
