Halley's Comet

Thirty Five

BILLIE
December 25
Los Angeles, California

I sit on Halley's lap as everyone joins us in the living room. Iris sits on the floor by the couch and Drew sits on the love seat. "Merry Christmas!" Zoe cheers as she walks into the room with gifts.

"I fucking love Christmas" Iris says, hugging a bowl of popcorn.

Halley laughs and hugs her arm around my waist. I grin and snuggle into her arms. "Where's Amir?" She asks her best friend who looks over at her.

"Went on a coffee run" She replies just as the door opens and Amir enters the house. He is carrying greasy bags of food and a cups in his hands.

"I got us some greasy food from someone trying to kill us last night"Amir says sideyeing Drew making us all laugh. He hands me a bag and Zoe another. Drew gets up to go get hers while Amir hands us also some hot chocolate.

We all thank him and I take a sip of the delicious drink. "Holy shit Amir where did you get this?" I ask him to which he chuckles.

"My grandma owns a coffee shop not that far from here." He replies and Halley takes a sip of her hot chocolate before her eyes widened.

"This shit is the best hot chocolate I ever tasted bruh" Halley tells him and I sit the cup down on the coffee table. Halley takes another sip of hers before handing it to me to put down.

"Thank you. I'll tell her you all loved it." He says and turns to Iris, mumbling something to her causing her to blush instantly.

While everyone was distracted, I felt Halley tap my thigh signaling for me to get up. I stand up and she heads into the kitchen. I follow her and lean against the doorway while she grabs something out of the fridge.

"I'm sorry I pushed you again"

Turning to look at me, Halley smiles. "Baby I'm not mad." She tells me and walks over to me. "We were on live in a very interesting position. I'm not mad at you."

Biting my lip, I look away from her. "I just don't want you to think that I—" Cutting me off, Halley shushes me and kisses my forehead. "Bil it's okay."

I shake my head and walk around her. Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I set it on the island counter. "No I don't want to have to worry about hiding our relationship. I'm with you and you're with me." She follows behind me with a bright smile on her face.

"So what are you going to do?"

I look down at my phone and go on live. Halley frowns as she looks at me but I quickly shush her before she could protest. "Billie are you sure about this?" She whispers to me and I nod my head.

"Just promise me you will always be here with me" I say muting myself as I turn to look at her. People were pouring into the live already talking about earlier.

Halley looks at me with that little sparkle in her eyes and smiles down at me. "Always" She murmurs before giving me a quick peck.

We look down at my phone and I take a deep breath, unmuting myself. "Merry Christmas little fuckers" I say making Halley hit my arm. I laugh and sit down with her beside me. I feel her grab my free hand under the table making me blush slightly.

"You guys are so fucking nosey I swear" I mumble as I read everyone's comments.

"Stop cursing before you get banned" Halley flicks my forehead making me pout. I turn the camera to face her and she waves at everyone.

"They love you a little too much" I laugh as I set the phone up so her and I both are in the frame.

"As they should" Halley cockily says making me roll my eyes.

"Okay well guys I have news for you." I say and look at Halley who is already looking at me. She sends me a comforting smile and I nod my head with a small sigh.

Billieforever34: YOU BETTER NOT BE PREGNANT BILLIE EILISH

Eilishlover56: now why would she be pregnant @Billieforever34

IlyBillie: She's gay

AvocadoBillie: well duh she's dating Halley

"I am not gay. I am actually bisexual" Pausing, I watch as everyone immediately flood in with a bunch of very happy comments. I smile and lay my head on Halley's shoulder.

"I didn't want to come to you guys until I was certain on how I feel but now I am. All year I been questioning myself and who I like. I thought I was either gay or straight, no in between but that's not true. I like guys." I look at my beautiful girlfriend and lean forward to peck her lips gently. "And I like girls, a girl."

"Halley and I have been dating for" Frowning, I quickly look at her to see her with the same expression. "Well technically its only been like two weeks maybe more" I shrug my shoulders as I laugh.

"Yeah but we been talking to each other for a few months" Halley says making me nod my head.

"The point is that I don't want you guys to hate on her. I don't want you guys to hate on me either. I know that you guys have been suspicious about our friendship from the jump but I didn't want to come on here and admit this to you without being ready to handle it all."

Halley wraps her arms around me and smiles. "She also better not receive no hate for who she is or all of you are getting a well deserved ass whooping" She says making me burst out laughing.

"You can't say that to my fans"

She rolls her eyes and scoffs. "I want you happy and I know doing this was one of the hardest things you have ever done. So to keep you happy." She sideyes at the live. "I'm going to make sure everyone understands to leave you alone and to respect your privacy as well your strength to come out and say all of this."

My eyes trick with tears as she speaks. "Baby" I pout and she chuckles. "You're so sweet" I mumble to her before kissing her lips softy.

"Only for you Billie Eilish."

I grin and hold her face in my hands. She stares into my ocean blue eyes while I stare into her chocolate brown eyes. "I love you" I whisper against her lips making her eyes immediately widened. "I love you" I repeat before smashing my lips against hers.
