Melanie

This life.

I never would've guessed that Billie, would be the one to take my heart to be hers.

I remember the night we met. Two 11 year old girls meeting each other at a rock concert.

She gave me her number, and we've talked ever since. Now we're both 17. Time flies.

I think I started falling for her at 14, a few years after I found out that I was gay. Never would I have thought she felt the same way. Crazy.

"Babe?" Billie walks in my room, holding her ukulele in her right hand, a Polaroid picture Fin took of us together in the other from last year.

"Yeah?" I reply, sitting on the floor next to her.

"I wrote a song for you. Just for your ears to hear. Nobody else's." She says.

"Really? Let me hear your work of art."

She places the picture down next to her and starts playing a major chord on her uke and sings.

I swear I'd stop breathing

If it would benefit you

If that's all I had to do, mm

I'll give up everything

Because I'm in love with you

Yes, I'm in love with you

I smiled, tearing up hearing her angelic voice sing to my ears.

I'll give up everything

If it would benefit you

If that's all I had to do 

She plays C to end it and smiles.

" Billie...that was so beautiful, my love." I said, tears falling down my cheek while reaching out to hug her.

"I'm glad you like it." She replies.

"You're the most beautiful thing in this world to me." She says.

"I'm so glad I met you and I have you in my life and I'm so in love with you." Billie starts tearing up as well while holding me telling me how much I mean to her.

All I felt was happiness and joy at the moment. There was no place I'd rather be then in her arms.

"I'm in love with you, Billie."

"I love you, we're soulmates." She looks at me holding my hand tight and giving me the picture in the other hand.

I looked down, at the picture and smiled. Its from Billie's 17th birthday party when we got each other alone in Finneas's room. We held hands for the very first time and he took it because he knew it'd be a moment that we'd always look back on.

"Forever." Billie says quietly.

"What do you want forever?" I ask.

She kissed my cheek and whispered in my ear.

''Forever?"

"I wanna be yours."
