As Long As I'm Here // Billie Eilish

The last show

The next Morning

I wake up and forget where I am for a second, but when I turn around and see Billie I remember. She's still sleeping, lying on her side with an arm under her head. She looks so peaceful. She's so beautiful when she's asleep, and when she's awake for that matter. I lie there just admiring her and listening to her breathing.
She starts moving around a little bit, frowns and then opens her eyes. We lock eyes and she smiles at me.

"Good morning angel" she says with her raspy morning voice.

"Good morning precious" I whisper in reply.

One hour later

We have just finished eating breakfast and Billie's putting away the plates.

"Thank you so much for the breakfast, I need to go home soon to fix a couple of things at my house"

"Any time! I can drive you home if you want?

"You don't have to but if you want to-"

"Shut up, of course I'll drive you" she cuts me off.

We hop in the car and Billie starts driving. It's almost an hour drive from her hotel because I live at the countryside. But we chat throughout the whole trip making the time fly. And before we know it we have arrived. I step out of the car and walk over to Billie's side, she also steps out. She hugs me and I hug her back. She pulls out from the hug and looks at me nervously.

"You really don't have to if you don't want to.. But I'm playing my last show in Sweden tomorrow before heading back to LA in a couple of days. Would you like to maybe come and see me? We can hang out before and after the show in the greenroom. But I understand if you don't have time or don't want to or-"

"Billie, I would love to!" I say cutting her of.

She smiles at me and hugs me again.

"Well in that case you are more then welcome! I will be there at around 4pm, you can come whenever you want to!"

The next evening.

I'm on my way to the arena where Billie is playing tonight, it's almost 4.30pm so hopefully she's already there.
I walk past the line of fans waiting outside of the arena to a security guard. It feels weird to just walk past everyone. He recognizes me and leads me to Billie's green room. I open the door to Billie and Finneas sitting on the couch laughing at something.

"Hi Tuva, I'm so glad you wanted to come!" Billie greets me with a hug.

"So much fun meeting you again Tuva, how are you?" Finneas asks.

"I'm doing great! How are you guys? Does everything feel good fore the show tonight?"

"Glad to hear! Yeah I think so, we are going to do the rehearsal soon and then we are all set up" Finneas says.

Billie nods at him.

"I'm just gonna go and look if the crew is ready for rehearsal yet, I'll be back soon" Finneas says and walks out the door.
