His Best Friend (B.E)

I woke up in my bed, somewhat confused because i clearly remember falling asleep downstairs. I check my phone seeing a few notifications from my socials before turning my phone off and getting out of bed.

I walked down the hall into the bathroom and began doing my morning routine. I pulled my curly hair up into a messy bun and made my way downstairs.

"morning" my brother greeted "i have to get to work but there's breakfast in the kitchen if you're hungry

"okay" i nodded as he walked out the door "have a good day, love you!" i yelled

"Love you too! Call or text me if you need anything!" he yelled back before shutting the door. I started to make my way towards the kitchen until i saw a figure sitting out on the steps in the backyard which i soon realized was billie. She was smoking a blunt while her hair was slightly blowing in the light wind.

I opened the back door which caused her to look back to see who it was "good morning" i smiled "how'd you sleep?"

"i slept pretty good actually" she answered while blowing the smoke out "thanks for staying with me"

"it's no problem" i assured "i used to have bad insomnia when i was younger and my mom would always stay and comfort me until i fell asleep so i knew it would help you too"

billie just stared at me while hitting her blunt which caused my face to flush a deep red the longer she stared. "why are you looking at me like that" i asked shyly

"nothing" she shook her head slightly "you smoke?" she asked while holding the blunt towards me

"i used to a lot at parties, but i haven't in a while" i said before taking the blunt in between my fingers and placing it between my lips taking small hits so i don't start coughing.

it was silent for a few minutes but it wasn't really an uncomfortable silence. We were just chilling until she broke the silence "i'm sorry about your mom"

"you told me not to apologize for something that's not my fault" i reminded "so you shouldn't either"

"but it's fine" i sighed "i miss my parents but it's kind of nice to know that they aren't in this horrible world and somewhere safe. Hopefully"

"do you think there's an after life?" i asked, both of us starting to feel the effects of the weed.

"maybe" billie thought "or maybe not. We'll have to find out one day but i hope your parents are safe and doing good as well" she smiled at me.

I just met this girl 2 days ago and i feel like we've known each other for forever. I have a bad habit of falling for people fast and i think i'm already starting to feel something for this girl that i barely even know.

On top of that, she's my brothers best friend.

I'm not saying that i have the biggest crush on her and i wanna be with her but there's definitely some sort of feelings there that i have for her but I cant seem to tell if it's a friendly feeling or a romantic one.
