Hello! These chapters are from books I, Aj, have attempted to write but writing full-length stories is super hard... everyone who has published a completed full-length story props to you! They take a lot of time and are extremely difficult to focus...

★Octavia★
Sitting on the left wing, I watched my girlfriend fall for the eighth time. Her clumsy ass fell eight different times on stage during her sound check; surprisingly each time was different. But this time the music stopped, signifying that the first sound check was over. Finneas helped her up as I just chuckled in the corner. Finally, it was over, my ass was getting pins and needles.
"You're way too clumsy for this shit.." I tell her, as she walks my way, the smile on her face drops and she huffs attempting to walk past me, excuse me... I swiftly moved my leg and kicked her ankle causing her to lose her balance, as she fell into my arms.
"Vee, I told you to stop doing that," Billie whined. Trying to wriggle out of my arms, after she gives up I let her go. "I told you I was too clumsy when we met," she replies, rolling over onto her stomach and pressing her face onto the cold floor groaning.
"Right..." I trail, and she lifts her head just to narrow her eyes at me. I shift so I'm next to her and I smack her ass. She whines once more rolling onto her back and shoving me slightly.
"At least I don't call everyone love when I have a girlfriend... that has earned that nickname." Billie rebuts, raising a brow. I scoff, standing up.
"It's not my fault," I whine, walking away I know this bitch will follow me, she's so obsessed. And she won't see me until she either moves to England or has another tour. This is her last show in England... and of her world tour.
I walk over to Finneas as I hear Billie's footsteps follow behind me but they falter, dumbass probably tripped or something. I'm not that mean so I glanced behind me to see Billie's foot tangled in wires as she kicked her foot around.
"Mom!" Billie calls out, probably wondering where the wire covers were.
"Octavia." Finneas chuckles placing his hand on my back before patting my shoulder. He always does that shit, I give him a small shove and he gasps.
"You're dumb, man." I shake my head giving him a hug. I hear Billie, huff causing me to turn around. I see her standing there arms crossed.
"You didn't give me a hug... I'm your girlfriend." Billie whined, and I scoffed, I saw tears well up in her eyes and that hurt me to see.
My heart softened, and I couldn't resist Billie's puppy-dog eyes. I walked over to Billie and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her into a tight hug. "Alright, alright, love. You win," I pout lifting her up a little, as she buried her face into my shoulder and sobbed.
★Billie★
I couldn't hold back my tears any longer, as I clung to Octavia. The thought of having to leave her in England... and return to Los Angeles was breaking my heart. "I don't want to go back to LA, Vee. I'll miss you so much." I whispered, my voice trembling as I spoke.
Octavia held me even closer, I could feel her own tears fall onto my shoulder. I knew by the many times that she told me yesterday that she hated to see me upset, and Octavia was very empathetic... and a little sensitive so it didn't take much for my poor baby to cry.
"It's going to be tough, love," Octavia whispered to me, her voice filled with genuine concern. "But we'll make it work. We can call, text, video chat—anything to stay connected. And I promise, I'll be right here when you come back."
I nodded, my face buried in Octavia's shoulder as I clung to my girlfriend. The idea of leaving her was tearing me apart, but I knew I had to try. Our love was too important to let go. Octavia held me closer, rubbing my back gently as she whispered soothing words and reassurances. "It's going to be okay, Billie. We'll make it work. I promise."
But I was really upset. I had heard that long-distance relationships were incredibly challenging, and the idea of being apart from my beautiful girlfriend for extended periods of time was almost unbearable for me. I was so deeply in love and so used to having her constant affection and attention that the thought of being separated was terrifying.
Finneas approached us, I glanced up from my girlfriend's shoulder tears blurring my gaze but I saw his expression filled with understanding. He knew the struggle of maintaining a long-distance relationship all too well, especially with Claudia's acting career sometimes taking her to different countries while his work as my producer brought him to various places with me. I hated drifting them apart, but Finneas had already assured me that Claudia is always with them on tour, it's only the times when she has an audition or is actually working on a movie... like this week.
He gently placed a hand on my shoulder as I put my forehead back against Octavia's shoulder, and said, "Hey, Billie, it's not easy, but it's possible to make it work. Claudia and I have been through it, too. We found ways to bridge the distance when her acting gigs took her away."
★Finneas★
Billie looked up again, her eyes red and puffy from crying. "But it's just... I can't go five minutes without wanting to hug her or kiss her or just be with her." she mouthed to me so Octavia couldn't hear her confession.
I smiled sympathetically. "I get it, Billie, I really do. But remember, absence makes the heart grow fonder. You'll cherish the time you have together even more. And with the help of... You guessed it technology, staying connected is easier than ever. FaceTime, texting, calling – they can make the distance feel a bit smaller." I attempted to brighten her mood, pretending that I was selling her technology.
Octavia nodded in agreement, still holding Billie close. "We'll figure it out, love. We'll make it work, just like Finneas and Claudia did."
Billie sniffled and wiped her tears away. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but with the support of her girlfriend and our family, I knew she was willing to give it her all, because Billie is always strong... she'd be willing to do anything to make their long-distance relationship work.
