The next day.

It wasn't much that I wanted to take with me back to LA. Just my clothes and some things that are valureble to me. The rest didn't really matter. I mean, we already have the house and the furniture and if we miss anything it's much easier to buy it there than to ship it from Sweden. Anyways. We are at the airport, heading back home now. Home. It feels so strange to call Los Angeles my home. My home. It's crazy.

We walk hand in hand down the long corridor at the airport that leads us to the plane. Billie has her hood up as usual so she wouldn't get recognized as much. As we walk our way to the plane we hear a high pitched scream behind us making us both jump from the sound. We quickly turn around to face a young girl holding her hands over her mouth in excitement. She looks probably about 10-11 years old? There's another woman behind her who I suppose is the mom. I smile and step back so they can have their moment with Billie.

"Hi sweetie!" Billie greets the girl.

"Are you Billie Eilish for real?!" The girl asks making us both laugh.

"I sure am! Come give me a hug" Billie answers.

They hug each other as the supposed mother watches over them smiling. She looks over to me and smiles at me as well.

"C-can I take a picture with you?" The girl asks.

"Of course you can!" Billie says and poses with the girl.

The girl calls for her mom and she takes out her phone to take a picture of them. Such a sweet mother and daughter I think to myself as I watch them smiling.

"Do you want a picture with her friend as well honey?" The mom asks.

"Oh, she's actually my girlfriend" Billie says and looks over at me.

"But I can sure ask her if she's fine with taking a picture with your daughter as well!" She adds and smiles back to the mother.

"Oh..." The mother says and takes a step back with a strange look on her face.

"Mom I want a picture with her as well" The little girl says.

I walk up to them so her mother can take a picture with me as well. I don't really get why, I'm not famous. But whatever if it makes her happy I guess. The mother drags her daughter away from us and puts a arm protectively around her.

"Oh?" I say and looks at her trying to understand what's happening.

"Didn't realize you were that kind of a celebrity..." Her mom says and looks at Billie.

"Excuse me?" Billie says clearly as confused as I am.

"You heard me. I don't want my daughter to be influenced by people of your kind" She says and looks disgusted between me and Billie.

"I'm sorry what did you just say?!" Billie blurts out.

"Well now that I know, she won't be listening to your music anymore. As I said I don't want her to be influenced by such unnatural and disgusting behavior" She says.
