Alana's POV

Recently, I've become tired of Los Angeles. It's the same thing here all the time and I'm bored. I have a break from recording for the album, so maybe I could go on a vacation.

"Liv, do you wanna go to New York City with me?" I ask Olivia who's sitting next to me on my bed, scrolling on her phone.

"Lana, that was so fucking random." She starts to laugh. "But honestly, I'd love to. I went there a few weeks ago and I miss it. It's really fun there." She shrugs.

"Wanna go in a few days? I'm on a break for work right now and I literally have nothing better to do." I laugh.

"What about shit with Billie? Don't you guys have to go to events or whatever?" She asks.

"Nah, we're free for a little bit. Liv, I don't even want to think about her anymore because I feel like she's always on my mind, good or bad thoughts, and I don't want to feel anything for her. I'm tired of getting hurt all the time by people. Why would Billie be any different?" I say with a sigh.

"Alana, you guys are friends and that's fine. She said it would be okay, right?" I nod. "Great, so don't put any more thought into her if you don't want to. It doesn't matter anymore. We're going on vacation." She grins. "We should probably book a flight and hotel sometime soon, wanna do that?" She asks.

"Sure, let me just call Steve and make sure it's okay." I tell her. I pull out my phone and dial Steve's number. "Hey, Steve. I have a quick question."

"Sure, what's up?" He asks. "Is it cool if I go on a vacation for a few days? I don't think my schedule is busy." I say.

"Yeah, you're good. Where are you going?" Steve says. "New York, I'm going with Olivia." I tell him.

"Oh, fun! Um, how are things with Billie..?" He asks me. "I don't wanna talk about it." I sigh.

We finish up the call and I hang up. "Okay, we're good. I'm hungry as fuck, wanna get food?" I ask Liv.

"Duh." She says in an obvious tone.

3 days later..

"Okay, suitcase?" I ask Liv. "Check." She answers. "Carry on bag?" I ask. "Got it." She says.

"Alright, I think we're good to go." I say to her. We're packing up my car to head to the airport right now and I'm double checking that we have everything because one time, Liv and I went to London together and we completely forgot to pack like, half of the things we needed. We were stupid 18 year olds.

We get in the car and I start driving to the airport.
"Oh my God, what if our plane just crashes when we're on it?" Liv randomly says.

"Liv, why the fuck would you say that as we're going to the airport?" I sigh.

"What? It's a possibility!" She shrugs.

"Your dumbass is gonna have me scared the entire fucking flight now, thank you." I say sarcastically and she just laughs.

We get to the airport and go through TSA which takes forever, like usual. Since it's early in the morning, we're not getting bombarded with cameras from the paparazzi, thank God.

Olivia and I walk to our gate to sit and wait for our plane to get here. It's 5:42 in the morning and our flight boards at 8:00, so we'll have to wait for a little while.

I somehow have wi-fi on the plane, so I can actually use my phone.

Except I got a text that I didn't expect.

"Um, Liv. Billie texted me." I whisper to her.

"Answer it!" She says.

"Fuck, okay." I sigh and go to iMessage.

iMessage:

                                    Billie Eilish

                                                          yeah i'm going to nyc

Irl:

I tap Liv's shoulder and show her my screen. "Liv, look at this!" I say.

She takes my phone and reads the messages, making her eyes widen. "Shit, she wanted to see you?"

"I guess so." I shrug. "She's so fucking hard to read, Olivia. I don't get her at all." I sigh as I lay my head on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Lan. I know this shit has been stressing you out." She hugs me.

"I feel like one second she doesn't want to talk to me and the next she's wanting to talk to me so badly, I don't get it. She's confusing as fuck." I groan.

"Damn, thank God I'm straight. Women sound fucking tough." She laughs to herself and I glare at her. "Liv, not the time."

"Right, sorry." She says. "It's gonna be okay, just try to forget about her right now and take a nap while we wait to land or whatever." She shrugs.

"Okay." I nod and close my eyes to try and sleep.

I know it's not going to be that easy. My mind is gonna be all over the place the whole fucking time.

Sleep is definitely not going to happen.
