We run through the hallways and i catch up to them, I overtake Claudia, "I'll get you later." I shout at Claudia while grabbing Billie's wrist, making her stop and pulling her towards me, I push her against the wall but let go off her when I see Patrick and Maggie approach, "You're lucky." I state while taking a step back, she laughs at me while I join Patrick's side, Billie walks ahead of us and through the small door to get under the stage so she can do her thing. Maggie, Patrick, Claudia and I are on our way to the back to check out the view from up there.

We get to the top and the lights go on and Billie's tiny figure jumps out of the stage, music starts blasting through the huge speakers while she starts singing, throughout her performance she asks us a billion questions, 'are the lights good?' or 'the music loud enough?' or 'Is the screen big enough?' and stuff like that, she changes some things until she's satisfied with the results, I love how she cares and adjusts every little detail for her performances, I'm pretty sure not every artist cares as much as she does.

She finishes up the sound check and we make our way towards the stage, "I'd say let's drive around with the rollers but-" I start as I approach Billie, "not a chance, you're never getting on one again." She states, "I'm older." I state and she raises an eyebrow at me, "no sex for a month." She states back and i smirk, "You can't last a week." I argue back, "We'll see." She says confidently and my eyes widen, "no baby I was joking." I whine, "I don't care." She says, "Well then I guess I might as well take the roller now." I tease and she turns around while shaking her head no.

"Can I do your space buns?" I ask softly while sitting on the floor playing cards with Claudia and Finneas, "Of course baby." She replies while applying some light make up onto her pretty face. We continue our little game and i start getting frustrated, I'm losing, AGAIN. "Haha LOSER!" Fin shouts while throwing all his cards onto me, I pout while scoffing, "Fin stop being mean to my girlfriend or I'll tell mom." Billie teases and Fin rolls his eyes at her, I stick my tongue out to him and he glares at me but I flip him off.

I look over to Billie, she's looking herself in the mirror and fixing up her outfit, "It looks good." I assure her while standing up and walking up to her, "Really?" She asks and I nod, "sit down." I tell her and she obeys, I take the hairbrush of the counter and start brushing through her hair gently, her head tics to the side and I lean down to kiss her forehead, she smiles at me and I continue to do her hair.

She hands me two hair ties and I do her space buns, she pulls some strand of hair from the front out, "looking pretty cute tonight." I say while leaning down and kissing her cheek, she turns her head to look at me and makes kissy lips at me, I lean down and peck her lips, she smiles at me and I take a seat on the couch and pull out my phone, I open it and scroll through Instagram.

"You did amazing." I compliment her, she thanks me while taking my hand pulling me with her, we make our way into her green room and she plops onto the couch, I walk to the mini fridge in the corner and take a water bottle out for her, I take a seat next to her before handing her the bottle, "thank you baby" she says while chugging the water down, "I'm so tired." She says softly, "no wonder, come here." I say while holding my arms out, she gratefully falls into them, snuggling her head into my chest. "Take a nap, I'll wake you up when we gotta go." I assure her and she nods before closing her eyes and falling asleep on top of me, adorable.

After a while there's a knock on the door, "Come in." I say softly, the door opens reliving Patrick, "Hey kid, we gotta go, you gonna wake up this one?" He asks and i nod, "Yeah give me a minute she's exhausted." I inform him and he nods before leaving to give us some privacy, i love him so much, he's like a dad to me.
