Euphoria // B.E

Pilot

Alex

I didn't sleep the whole night. I was packing my stuff. I felt my chest heavy, with all the goodbyes in my mind. I didn't have much friends, i didn't know how to say bye to them.

I felt heavy as i packed my life away. No more Europe for a while, maybe it's for the best. I couldn't stay here because there's not much career opportunities here. I wanna be a huge music producer and if i stayed i wouldn't reach that.

As i packed up the last clothes i looked around my room, so empty, so bland. I already felt so much nostalgia and i didn't even get to leave yet. My uber is coming in half an hour, i need some coffee if i wanna stay awake.

I walked down the stairs of my family house, everyone was awake, looking at me like i sold my soul to the devil. They didn't want me to leave. Not for forever.

I smiled softly at my parents and my little sister that was cuddled up on the couch with my cat.

"Well i am done with packing, uber will be here in 30" i said as i watched my moms eyes tear up.

"Please don't cry mom, i know it's hard, i promise i'll visit you once in a while. You can come visit me too" i said as i hugged my mom tightly. I felt my shirt become wet from her tears. I felt like i was dying by their reaction.

30 minutes flew by saying my goodbyes to them. I didn't know if they were sad because i was leaving or because i was taking my cat with me.

I felt my phone ping in my pocket which meant that my uber is here. My dad helped me out with my stuff, and i sat inside the uber. One last look at my family. My chest was hurting, i wanted to cry but i couldn't. Waved goodbye and was on the way. On the way to start a new live on the other side of the earth.

I was looking at little Italy streets as we drove by them. I put my headphones on and just started to think how i will apologise to my friends, for not saying bye to them.

An hour went by and i was now getting out of the uber, grabbing my stuff and looking at the huge airport standing in front of me. It was real. I am leaving. I am moving. I heard a small meow and scratched my cats head through his carrier. I was mentally getting ready for almost a 15 hour flight.

I passed security, and sat down in a lounge, i spoiled myself this time with business class ticket. I didn't want to spend 15 hours cramped up in a small seat.

I picked up my computer and let out my cat out of his carrier with his leash on, so he plopped down in my lap and watched as i worked myself away. It was 3am now, and my flight is in two hours.

As i was working i felt my phone buzzing with an incoming facetime. I checked my phone and my jaw dropped. Finneas. What the fuck. Why. How. I was so confused and thought for a second that i was already hallucinating from the lack of sleep. I pressed the green button.

"Hello?" I asked confused and then saw Finneas face pop up on my screen.

"Finneas is it some  once in a million chance butt dial or should i be texting Claudia a hey girly message?" I somehow managed to get out of me while being too stunned.

"Hiii Alex, and no it's not butt dial, and no need to text Claudia" he laughed and switched the camere to Claudia who smiled as she looked at me.

"Well i guess i am hallucinating then cause what the actual fuck" i was trying to figure out why on earth would THE Finneas O'Connell be calling ME.

"Noo, actually i wanted to talk to you about something, i know it's very random and weird that i am calling you but i found your work a few weeks ago, and i see the potential in you, you have some good techniques and i just wanted i guess to offer you some help?" Finneas was smiling and scratching his subtle beard as he talked

"Of course if you are not against it. Me and Billie will be in Europe in a month or so, so i thought we could both jump into a studio and so see how it goes?" I was listening to him but i didn't understand what he was saying. I was dumbfounded. Why. What. How.

"Wow i am.. um really honoured but I won't be in Europe in a month. I am moving to LA actually, i am waiting for my flight" i said still not believing in this situation. It must be a prank right? There's no other way. I felt my cat waking up and i saw him poking his head into the camera view.

"Well it's even better then. What do you say? About me giving you some lessons or whatever? It's free of course, i just wanna see how your brain works." He laughed but it wasn't funny. I was still staring at him as a deer in the headlights.

"I.. um sure, i am down for that. It would be an honour seriously. Sorry i am just a little confused now, because it doesn't seem real" i was looking at Finneas as if he was a god. Trying to soak up every word he says because what if it's a dream? Maybe i fell asleep or something?

"Amazing, text me when you are free here. We'll come up with something okay?" Text him. Text Finneas and agree on meeting up. On seeing him. On working with him. I shook my head. I was lost in thought.

"yeah i will, thank you really" i smiled softly, screaming inside.

We said our goodbyes and i continued pinching myself. There's no way that happened. If i meet Finneas i potentially could be meeting Billie someday in the far future right? No. It cant happen. Not in this life. I would pass out. Drool. Pass out again. And then i would fall even more in love with her and die. I cant meet her for the life of it.

I heard an announcement that my flight was boarding. So i put cat in the carrier and walked to the gates. Well LA i am coming.

*Sooo first chapter is done and i dont know if its good. It feels bland to me but bare with me guys.
