| Billie's POV |

Before we continue this story, let's assess what has happened with me, yes? So I died. Yeah, no, that part is true. Call me stupid or crazy, but I saw God.

Did I lose you? No? Okay, fucking pay attention.

"HAILEE!" Y/N screamed at the top of her lungs, watching her body plummet down. She holds onto her chest, her breathing becoming irregular as she falls to her knees, the tears came out uncontrollably. I could not stop crying, especially when she saw the state both Hailee and I were in. "Bill?" She whimpered, crawling over to me. "Billie? Please wake up." Y/N pleaded.

I coughed up blood, my eyes fluttering open as I looked at her, struggling to stay awake. "Y/N/N..." I croaked out, shakily reaching my hand up for hers, I quickly grab it, clutching it to her chest with tears falling rapidly down her cheeks. "That's it. This is the end." I whispered, resting my head against the ground. "Just promise me... promise me you'll-" I fell into a coughing fit before continuing. "That you won't blame yourself and make sure... make sure Hailee's okay."

"No, Billie." Y/N shook her head, grabbing my hand tighter as my grip loosened, my eyes fluttering closed. "Bill? Billie, please! Don't leave me! I need you, Bill, you're my best friend!" She screamed, her emotions were raw.

"I-I'm just tired." I rambled, my hand going limp in hers as it fell on my chest lightly. "I'm going to rest now, Y/N/N. I love youu..." I slurred and tilted my head to the side before I was...

Gone.

My vision went black and I felt all the oxygen inside me just float away into the distance. I couldn't hear anything, couldn't see anything, couldn't feel anything. And suddenly, there was a bright light forming right before me.

"What the-" My question was cut off when God himself stepped in front of me. The only thing I could think about was why God wasn't a girl? Man, I'm stupid.

"Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell." He called out and I physically winced when he used my full name. "Welcome to the gates of Heaven or Hell. You have died."

"I'm aware." I couldn't help, but sass back. All I wanted was to be back home with Y/N and Hailee and my family.

God tilts his head. "You are not ready?" He questioned, probably reading my mind or some shit like that.

"I'm going to be honest, God... this is fucking weird." He gave me a look, telling me to continue. "First, I die by giving my life to protect the ones I love most and I don't regret it, but damn, I wasn't ready to die. Second, the fact that I am physically talking to you makes me seem crazy and it feels unreal. Third, why aren't you a woman?"

He chuckled at my rambling and my nonstop questions. "I can't answer all those, Billie, but I will say this." He waved his hand in the air with a small smile. "It's not your time." Gold and white flowers circled me magically. I am going crazy. "Return back to earth for one last time, live your life to the fullest, and love your family. Don't forget to pray." He winked at me before snapping his fingers and suddenly...

I was awake.

Gasping for air, I clutched my chest to find myself in a casket. "Help! Help me! I'm trapped in here." I slammed my foot against the casket. I had approximately one hour before I ran out of whatever oxygen was left in here. Thinking fast, I checked my pockets and the casket for anything. Thank god Y/N knows me better than anyone else because she left my all time favorite flip phone with me.

I opened it and quickly dialed Finneas' number. "Who is this?" He asked groggily, as if he just woke up from a nap. But his voice also sounded hoarse, like he had been crying for a long time .

"Finneas, I don't have time to explain, but I'm fucking alive so bring some shovels and drive your ass over to the cemetery I'm buried to dig me up. I only have an hour worth of oxygen so hurry!" I quickly yelled and slammed the phone down. I impatiently waited for my brother.

It took around 15-20 minutes for Finneas to get here and when he did, he and his girlfriend, Claudia, began to dig me up. "JUST HANG ON, BILLIE!" I'm pretty sure none of them care of anyone sees them digging up my grave.

About another 20 minutes goes by and I'm feeling lightheaded, I'm in desperate need of oxygen. And water. And food... I'm hungry as fuck, I could go for some burritos right now.

"We got you." Claudia grabbed ahold of my hand and pulled me into a tightening hug, it crushed my bones. Finneas was next.

"How? Why? What?" He fumbled out with confusion but happiness, years willingly fell from his eyes.

"God." Was all I could say before we rushed away from my grave and began to try to make our way to Hailee and Y/N.

On our way there, our back tire suddenly popped, causing Finneas to lose control of the wheel. We didn't crash too bad but we did rear end a pole. Stepping out with blood slightly pouring from my forehead, my vision was a little blurry but up ahead, I was able to see who shot our tire.

Hailee's parents.

Pete had a sickening smile on his face as he and his men gathered Claudia, Finneas, and I up with sacks over our heads, chains rattling around our bodies. They took us before anyone could see or report anything.   

When we arrived at their mansion, I couldn't see, but I screamed my head off as they took Finneas and Claudia away from me. Pete threw me in a separate room. "You fucking bitch! Just you wait-" I was cut off when he slammed 2-3 pieces of tape over my mouth. His men got to work on chaining my wrists up first, slightly dangling me in the air before they got my feet. I felt like a prisoner in a marvel movie. It did not feel good one bit.

Not even God could help me now...
