Billie

tw- mentions of drug use

It feels like everything is happening so fast. Less then 2 weeks ago me and Melanie were just friends with crushes on each other, and now, I truly believe that we're in love.

This shit's crazy bro.

Insane.

I wake up to a blurry bright light. I suddenly remembered that I left my blinds open accidentally last night. Shit that's bright.

I grab my phone on my nightstand and see 4 text messages from Mel. Most of the time when I see 4 I think she's mad or something, but usually its nothing but her saying "I love you." Or, "baby I miss you." "What is she wondering?" I thought to myself. But what I saw wasn't what I wanted.

Mel love🖤:

4 unread messages. 7 missed calls.

BILLIE.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?

YOU'RE DOING DRUGS I KNOW IT.

Baby please call me I'm worried.

"Shit." I thought to myself. She saw the livestream.

Last night me and Eli were goofing off on his Instagram live. Snorting shit, smoking weed, drinking. I didn't think she, or anyone else for that matter, knew Eli's Instagram.

I start getting worried. "Now she thinks I do drugs. Just every now and then I do shit with my friends. There's nothing wrong with that." I convince myself its ok. But deep down I knew it wasn't. That's why I had to make up a lie. A fuckin lie.

Billie O'Connell is not a liar. I'm not. But this time. I can't take a chance losing her cause she thinks I'm a drug addict. I know she won't tell Fin or my parents, but still bro. Don't wanna take that chance.

I decide to call her instead of texting. It made more sense anyway.

3 seconds after I pressed dial she picked up.

"Billie."

I could tell from her voice she wasn't playing.

"Baby. Listen-"

She interrupts me slightly pissing me off.

"Billie what the fuck is wrong with you."

My mind picks the first lie that comes to me.

"Listen to me. It was all a joke for our friends. It was nothing serious."

"I'm not a fucking idiot Billie O'Connell."

Shit, she's using my full government. She's mad. And fuck. I'm not fooling her.

"BABY. Listen to me." I loudly say annoyed with her interruptions.

"It was my first time doing anything. Swear to god. I just wanted to try something alright? Yeah, I was high. But it was Friday night for fucks sake. I wanted some fun."

Confident in my lie, I decide to throw something else in there to make her feel better.

"You can come over tonight. We can talk. But I'm not gonna be harassed because I wanted to try shit."

I make my words clear.

"Be there at 7."

She hangs up.

Melanie's not a a dumbass. She knows. But my lie was pretty good. Guess I have more explaining to do. Shit.
