chapter eleven

BILLIE

the bell rung and i immediately ran to my dorm to grab my things. i was gonna spend at least 3 days with my mom before i came back so i could spend the rest week and a half off at josh's house.

i winced as i sat down on the couch. i forgot i have shin splits and now that my adrenaline rush was over, i could feel every excruciating bit.

after i had all of my things gathered, i heard a knock at the door. i ran up to the door and i opened it.

"baby!!" i squealed, jumping into josh's embrace.

"hey, mama." he said, shooting me that million-dollar smile.

me, josh, and nia were walking out when i spotted a familiar face.

there was damon, amala, and a free seat in the second row while in the back i spot derrick and...a familiar face.

anastasia.

i felt a feeling in me, fiery and outrageous.

i brushed it off as i got into the car, slamming the door.

"i'm so glad all of you are here to get me to the airport!" i say, smiling as josh came in the driver's seat, next to me.

"not all of us. don't get too ahead of yourself." we hear a voice say in the back as everyone looks back, me turning my head back last.

"who even are you?" i ask, playing dumb with a brow lifted.

"josh, i don't understand why you had to drop her off at the airport. i mean, we could've got anyone else" anastasia said, annoyingly chewing her gum and twirling her hair in her hand.

"maybe because him and i are dating? ever think of that?" i responded slyly as she scoffed.

we were thirty minutes into the drive when we figured we needed some gas.

"alright if y'all needa pee go inside n pee now cuz this ya last chance" josh said as nia, amala, damon, and derrick, quickly rushed out the car.

"you don't needa pee, bae?" josh looked at me before i shook my head. he gave me a peck on the lips and left for the gas station, leaving me and anastasia, behind.

"you think you have josh wrapped around your finger, huh?" anastasia says, breaking the silence.

"it's okay to be a little jealous, but jealousy's a disease, and i hope you get better," i say, turning back to my phone.

"you know what, eilish? keep it up and see what happens...." she says.

"boo i'm scared in my fucking boots right now. shiver my fucking timbers" i say dryly.

"i want you and him SEPARATE! he is MINE! we've known each other longer than you've had parents" anastasia says. she's crossed the line.

"i don't know where your ugly ass came from but i hope you know, we fucked last night. and it felt so good...." i say, pushing her buttons like she pushed mine

we went back and forth, as the tension grew quicker and quicker. at this rate, if i had a gun, i would pull it out and shoot this bitch in the neck.

as soon as we were about to tussle in the car, i spotted josh come out the store and got back into my seat as i let anastasia come and try to fight me.

josh came into the car, just as anastasia was about to pull me by the shirt.

"anastasia, what the fuck? you okay baby" he asks me as he pecks me on the lips and holds my hand.
