My Rockstar Girlfriend | Billie Eilish

8.

As I sat in the dimly lit studio, watching Billie under the harsh spotlight of the interview,
I couldn't help but feel the weight of the invasive question hanging in the air.

The interviewer's doubt about our relationship echoed in the room, challenging the authenticity of what Billie and I had built together.

Little did they know, our love wasn't a facade for PR; it was something that could truly be real.

The interviewer spoke, "So, Billie, fans are curious about your recent relationship. Can you comment on that?"

Billie smiles, glancing at me, "Well, you know, people will always talk. But our connection goes beyond any headlines or speculation."

"Rumors suggest your relationship is just a PR stunt. What do you have to say about that, Billie?"

Billie laughs nervously, stealing a glance at me "Honestly, I don't get where these rumors come from. Leah and I are real, our connection is real."

The interviewer clenches her faces, "But the timing of your relationship and the publicity around it—too coincidental, isn't it?"

"Look, life doesn't follow a script. We met, we clicked. It's not some grand plan for publicity; it's messy and genuine," I spoke.

"Critics argue it's a strategic move for both your careers. Your response?"

I smirk a bit, "If we were aiming for a publicity stunt, we'd have chosen a less complicated plotline. Our story is messy, but it's ours."

"Leah, the timing of your fallout with Bella has raised eyebrows. Some suggest that your relationship with Billie played a role in cutting ties with your ex-friend. Care to address those allegations?"

"My relationship with Billie is separate from my friendships. The decision to distance myself from Bella was hard,but people change, priorities shift, and friendships face challenges. It's a part of life," I spoke.

"But critics argue that your closeness with Billie might have influenced your judgment. Did her presence in your life contribute to the rift with Bella?"

"It's a bit more complexed than that," I replied.

"So you're admitting that your relationship with Billie did play a role in the fallout with Bella?"

I sighed,
"I wouldn't say it played a role; it was more about respect. Bella and I had been drifting apart, and when she couldn't accept my relationship with Billie, it became a breaking point."

"Critics argue that you should have balanced both relationships. Was cutting Bella off the only solution?"

The interviewer was really coming for my neck.

"It's not about balance when someone disrespects a fundamental part of my life. I tried to communicate, but when understanding and respect weren't reciprocated, I had to make a tough call for my own well-being."

It seems she care less about my actual answers. This interview feels like a set up.

"Bella claims she was blindsided. Couldn't there have been a better way to handle this situation without completely ending the friendship?"

"It's regrettable if she felt blindsided. I attempted conversations, but sometimes, people are unwilling to see things from another perspective. Ending the friendship was a last resort after exhausting other options," I said.
