let me love you | B.E.

Billie's pov:

Pulling into the driveway of Conan's house, I park my car and grab my bags from the backseat before getting out. My friends decided that we should all get ready for the party at Conan's, hence why I'm here. I knock on the front door and I hear a bunch of ruckus and screaming before someone finally comes to open the door.

The door swings wide open and I am met with an out of breath Conan. I laugh at his appearance and suddenly, out of nowhere, Zoe comes running and jumps on Conan's back, tackling him to the ground.

"Help me! I'm being attacked!" Conan screams, trying to get Zoe, who is clinging onto him like a koala, off his back.

"Give me back my hairbrush, whore!" Zoe yells at him.

"Uh, alright then," I say and let myself in, shutting the door behind me and locking it.

Going upstairs, ignoring their petty bickering, I walk into Conan's bedroom and see Drew and Denzel chilling on the bed on their phones.

Drew looks up from her phone when she sees me walk in, "Finally, bitch. What took you so long?"

"Traffic," I answer, putting my bags down on the ground.

"Okay, let's start getting ready now," Drew says, rolling off the bed.

"I'm already ready, so y'all do your thing," Denzel mumbles, still glued to his phone.

Zoe and Conan come back into the room like nothing happened and start getting ready with the rest of us. As I'm putting on all my chains, Zoe brings up something I've been avoiding all week.

"So, Bil, are you gonna tell us the reason you sent that picture to the group chat on Monday?" Zoe asks while parting Drew's hair to put into Dutch braids.

I freeze and look at them, seeing them awaiting a response from me. I let out a deep sigh and go back to putting my chains on, ignoring her question.

"You know you'd feel better if you stopped avoiding it," Drew says.

"Whatever," I mumble.

"Come on, Bil. You know we would never judge you," Zoe tells me sincerely.

"Okay, I think I like girls," I say quietly.

"I KNEW IT! I KNEW YO ASS WAS FRUITY!" Conan yells happily before clearing his throat, "I mean, I'm proud of you."

I laugh and so does everyone else, but then we get serious again. Zoe, Drew, and Denzel also tell me how proud of me they are and I can't help but smile at all their support.

"How'd you realize, I wanna know," Zoe asks me, a childish grin on her face while she awaits for me to tell the story.

"Well, I always kinda knew I didn't like boys. But I also never had a crush on a girl before...until now," I admit.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? WHO THE FUCK DO YOU LIKE, GIRL?" Conan yells dramatically.

"Shut up, I'm not telling you guys who it is," I shake my head.

"Uh, yes the fuck you are!" Drew says matter-of-factly.

"What she said," Denzel agrees, pointing at Drew.

"Dude, you have to tell us!" Zoe persuades.

"Okay, damn! It's Francesca," I give in.

"THE NEW GIRL?" Conan yells once again.

I roll my eyes, "Yes, the new girl. Know any other Francesca's at this school?"

"Good point," Conan says, calmly this time.
