lila, a freshman in college, has no idea going to an irrelevant party will change the trajectory of her life, forever.
will she be happy for all the changes or not?
or will she wish nothing ever happened?

i watch as billie sits up and eddie gets into the apartment.
i try to yell her name as eddie takes her, but i cant.
"lila!" i hear her yell.
"lila!"
i'm shaken awake by billie. we're in the same apartment, it's pitch black besides from her phone light, and she seems worried.
"billie? are you ok?" i tear up and quickly hug her.
"are you okay? you were just screaming in your sleep!" she starts to rub my back.
"oh thank god-" it was a dream. i have never felt so much fear since that kidnapping.
billie hugs me and i lay back down. it's hard for me to be able to fall back asleep after that.
the fact eddie is in chicago does not fucking help.
i guess billie couldn't sleep either, since she's been on her phone. she seems to be writing lyrics down, i wish she'd let me read but she wants it to be a surprise i guess.
that's ok though. i think i'd rather it be a surprise too.
i sigh as i roll around. i decide to just go on my phone too.
before i get too distracted, billie shows me eddies post on instagram, since she knows i blocked him.

i silently give the phone back to billie and roll over.
"hey, it's gonna be ok. we got bodyguards, a speed dial, police searching for him 24/7, we are safe," she says in my ear.
it takes awhile, but i eventually wake up the next day. billie's already up, but she's reading mail and she seems stressed.
"what's up bil?" i say, yawning.
"fucking bills." she groans. she sounds really pissed off today.
"aww-"
"i wish i was home, because i don't deal with shit like this there," she says in a snarky tone.
i immediately feel like she's trying to shoot shots at me and make me feel bad about her coming here with me.
"i- you said we'd be home soon?" i say with concern.
