here we are, again | billie eilish

4 | good news, bad news

it's a couple weeks later and time is winding down, meaning it's almost time to leave for billie's tour.

billie's out right now picking up her family from the airport. they flew in to help gather things and make sure we're both ready to leave in a few weeks. i think she's gonna drop them off at their hotel before she comes back here.

margie's currently here at the house with me on a business call in my office. meanwhile, i'm outside on the back patio doing work stuff on my laptop as well.

"we literally leave in a month," i told my dad on the phone as i was still sitting on my back patio, still doing work on my laptop.

"yes i will send pictures," i chuckled to him. "you know that."

"no i haven't started packing yet," i told him. "i have time for that dad cmon," i said as i continued to respond to emails for sponsorships.

"yeah," i said. "yeah.. yup."

then a notification popped up on my laptop screen, catching me off guard. it was an email. i clicked on it and read it and my eyes got wide.

"yeah um dad let me call you back," i said slowly as i hung up the phone.

margie's pov -

"margie!" i heard leilani scream. "margieeeee!!" she yelled.

i quickly ran out of the office with worry all over my face. "what?! what?!"

lani was standing there with her laptop in her hands.

"i got in," she said lowly as she approached me.

"huh?" i furrowed my eyebrows, not believing her.

"i got in."

"you got in?"

"i got in!" she exclaimed, setting her laptop down on the counter. "i'm gonna be a victoria secret angel!"

lani and i both hugged, squealed, and jumped around in excitement.

"see i told you!" i smiled. "yes! yes! yes! this is so exciting! it's what you've always wanted!"

"i know!" she smiled, trying to catch her breath from jumping around. "i'm so happy."

"me too! so when do we have to leave for new york?" i rose my eyebrows, excited.

"oh right let me see," she went and scrolled through the email to read it fully.

then her smile dropped.

"the end of august," she said lowly, realizing.

"but," i started. "you and billie are supposed to leave at the end of july."

"no," lani shook her head. "no no this can't be happening. no!"

"fuck!" i exclaimed. "well maybe you can join billie for a couple shows and-"

"no margie that's pointless and you know it," she said. "i would need that month to be preparing for modeling and all of that."

"ughhhhhh we should've known that they'd want you guys there soon," i face palmed. "the industry is so unpredictable and last minute."

"marg what am i gonna do?"

then, of course, billie comes through the door. "hi baby," she smiled. "hi margie."

oh my god.

"hey b," i grinned.

but lani didn't say anything.
