As Long As I'm Here // Billie Eilish

The text

The next day.

Today is saturday and I just get to be home and chill. It has been hell of a week. Except for yesterday, that was one of the most amazing days of my life.
I open the door to my small house and step inside to take of my shoes and put on some music. I always listen to music, it's never quite in my house.
I look at my phone and see a notification on instagram. Someone wants to send me a message. Ugh, I hate all these scams! There is so many people on social media that lives on scamming people. I open Instagram ready to report the message immediately. Wait- what the???? It's from Billie Eilish and I can clearly see the blue verification mark so it is actually from her. I gasp at the sight and press "accept the message".

Billie:
"Hey Tuva! You remember me?"

What the actual fuck. Why on earth is Billie texting me on instagram??? And how did she find me?!
If I remember her?? If I remember Billie Eilish?!

Me:
"Oh my god, hi! Did you just ask me if I remember you? Who is the celebrity here?!😂 Of course I do!"

I get an answer back almost immediately.

Billie:
"Haha stop it! I'm sorry for texting you so random, I usually don't just text people random but you were so cute when I met you last time at the meet and greet and I couldn't stop thinking about you. You have such a beautiful and unique name!"

Me:
"Wow, that really meant a lot to me, thank you so much! Both the meet and greet and you texting me randomly😅"

Billie:
"It meant just as much to you as it did to me. You really seem like such a cool person"

Billie:
"I mean I don't know you yet but you really seem chill"

Me:
"I'm freaking out a bit right now but thank you so much!!!"

Billie:
"Haha why tho???"

Me:
"Why?? Um, because you're a person I really look up to"

Billie:
"You are so cute! Stop it!"

Billie:
"Hey can I ask you something?"

Me:
"Of course!"

Billie:
"Are you into girls Tuva?"

I get really surprised by the question. Why would she ask me that? I mean I am gay but it's really strange of her to ask me that. Why would she wanna know? And why would she care? I'm nobody but one of her fans. She's said in interwies so many times that she's straight so I don't even know why she thinks about it? Anyways, it's Billie Eilish. She can ask me what ever she wants and I will answer it.

Me:
"Uhm, yeah, I'm not into guys at all actually. How did you know?"

Billie:
"I've got a pretty good gaydar sweetie!"

Me:
"You're right, you really have!"

Billie:
"Girl, I just looked at you and like the second I saw you I knew. The colored hair, your piercing... Your aura just SCREAMED lesbian bro"

Me:
"Well You're right again! I have never actually met a straight person before with that good of a gaydar hahah"

This time the respons takes a bit longer. I can see that she has read my text.

Billie:
"can I tell you something Tuva?"

Me:
"Sure!"

Billie:
"I'm actually bi. I haven't like told anyone about it yet except my family and friends. It's so hard when you're in the public eye. People judge you for everything"

Me:
"I totally get it that you don't want everyone to know it yet! I mean, you're a celebrity, you gotta have some personal life"

Me:
"But why did you tell me though?"

Billie:
"Because you're gorgeous"

I just look at the conversation and try to take in what she said. Is this for real? Did she really just tell me not only that she's bi but that she thinks I'm gorgeous? She must be joking.

Billie:
"Hello?? Did you die??? ☠️"

Me:
"Sorry! Well, yeah, almost to be fair. You just called me gorgeous"

Billie:
"I need you to be alive right now tho cause I'm gonna ask you one more thing"

Billie:
"What are you doing tomorrow?"

Me:
"Me? Uhm, the same as usual I guess. Spend time with my dog"

Billie:
"shut up, you have a dog?! What's it's name??? I have a dog too! His name is Shark and he's a Pit Bull"

Me:
"Hahah well yeah, I know. I've seen him on you're Instagram. My dogs name is Ruby and she's a fluffy Swedish Lapphund!"

Billie:
"Oh my god that's so cute! Maybe they can have a playdate tomorrow? I'm staying in Stockholm a couple of days before continuing the tour"

Me:
"Are you being serious right now?! In that case, I would love to! I just don't understand why on earth you would like to meet me?!"

Billie:
"Yes I'm serious silly! I already told you, I think you're beautiful and you have a fucking Swedish Lappdog. Are you kidding me, that's one of my favorite dogs!"

Billie:
"What about 2pm at the Hagaparken in Solna? I've heard that it's a nice park and not as crowded as in central Stockholm"

I know that this entire chapter almost only was Billie and Tuva talking on instagram back and forth. The next chapter when they meet will be so much fun to write! If you like my story, please vote for me and comment. Stay tuned! 💜
