here we are, again | billie eilish

11 | who is this about?

a month later ..

"i'm gonna be laughing about that for the rest of my life," i said to hasson as we were sitting in chairs next to my pool.

"nothing is funny about me catching a cramp and almost drowning," she laughed.

"well no one told you to eat a full meal before coming over here and swimming," i laughed, shrugging my shoulders.

"billie if i would've died on your property," she started. "everyone would've thought you murdered my ass."

"yeah honestly nobody would believe me if i tried to explain how you innocently drowned in my pool," i chuckled. "i'd be put away for life."

we both continued to laugh until we settled down.

then her phone pinged.

"ugh i should head home," she stood up. "i have a patient later, i need to go freshen up."

"oh okay," i stood up too.

"i could come back tomorrow or anytime later this week," hasson suggested. "i gotta get another swim in before you leave again," she chuckled.

"actually um," i started. "i'm pretty busy for the rest of the week sooooo," i dragged, hoping she'd catch on.

"o- oh," she nodded. "yeah of course. i'll just see you on your next break?"

"okay cool. yeah," i nodded as she walked out the door.

i let out a sigh and sat down.

yes hasson and i hung out again.

yes i think she's cool.

she's actually a genuinely cool and nice person. does she have a tendency to say some questionable things? yes. but i honestly think that's just how she is. a weirdo. lots of my friends are weirdos so it's nothing new to me.

kinda sucks cause i really wanna tell lani that i'm cool with her just so i'm not like hiding anything. i'm just afraid of her reaction. but, lani's flying in tomorrow to be with me for the week so i'll just make a point to tell her.

yes that's what i meant when i told hasson i'm busy for the rest of the week.

leilani's pov -

"thanks again for letting me sneak off," i told mr. marino.

"you owe me ms. rose," he tilted his head.

"of course," i nodded. "i got you. whatever you want," i said eagerly as i hurried off in excitement.

im sneaking away from new york to go see billie while she's in LA. this time she isn't just on break. she actually has a show in LA but after, she's gonna stay there for her break. so i thought it'd be cool for me to go watch her LA show and also spend time with her.

i had to beg mr. marino to let me leave and basically cover for me somehow.

we aren't walking this week though, just doing some campaign things so i really won't be missing out on much.

and margie's gonna come with me but she won't be staying at billie's house with me. she'll be staying and visiting with her family since they live in LA.

our flight landed and billie was picking us up from the airport.

"she's parked right out there," i pointed. "i see her car."

marg and i continued on and rolled our suitcases out to billie's car. as we made it out there, b popped her trunk and got out of the car.

"baby!" i ran and jumped in her arms.
