FALLON

TMZ

Billie Eilish has been reported missing. The 'bad guy' singer has reportedly not been seen for almost a week and friends, family and fans are starting to worry. If you have any tips or know of her whereabouts, please contact the police.

Wow, they're concerned. What a shocker.

She's just some stupid celebrity that gets people to worship the ground she walks on.

I shut my laptop and walk down the stairs to see her.

BILLIE

Kingston comes down the stairs and sits in her chair. "Hey. I've been a while, so I apologize. Was Owen any entertainment?"

"He threatened to kill me 3 times, so not really." I sigh. "He's a feisty one." She laughs. "Do you need anything, darling?"

"I'm really thirsty." I respond. She nods and calls upstairs. "Daniel, water!"

Jesus, how many men does she have working for her?

A man dressed in the same attire as James and Owen comes downstairs and hands her a glass of water. "You can go now." She shoos him off and he goes back upstairs.

Kingston stands up and walks over to me. "Open."

I open my mouth and she tilts the glass of water into my mouth. I drink all of it quickly since she hasn't given me anything to drink once, and when I'm done, she pulls it away. "Thank you." I say quietly.

My heart races really fast whenever she does stuff like that to me. I'm not really sure why.

I'm terrified around her though.

"Mhm." She hums. "Anything else before I leave?" She asks. "B-but you just came back." I say. "I've been here a little while. You're not my top priority. I have a lot of shit to do." Kingston tells me. "I hate being alone here." I sigh.

"Do you really think I care?" She asks. "You care enough to take care of me and give me food and water." I say. "I'm not evil." She replies.

"You sure about that?"

She rolls her eyes and makes her way to the stairs. "Wait, Kingston, I'm sorry." I say. "And I'm sorry you have no respect for me." She responds as she walks upstairs.

Great way to talk to a fucking mafia leader, Billie.

"Hello."

As I'm about to fall asleep, I perk my head up when I hear Kingston come down the stairs. "Wake up."

"What?" I sigh. "I'm bringing you up to the room tonight." She replies. "Really?" I ask. "Yes. It's still going to be locked and I always have my knife on me. Do not make me use it." She says.

I nod my head. "Yes, ma'am."

Kingston comes over and unties me. She grabs roughly by my arm and walks me to the stairs. "Hurry up."

"Sorry."

I walk up the stairs with her, then up another flight of stairs and into the bedroom.

She pushes me onto the bed and walks out of the room, locking the door behind her.

Thanks, I guess.

I sigh and get under the blanket and close my eyes to fall asleep.

Hopefully, I'll be able to.

Normally, I'd try again to escape, but I'm exhausted. Plus, I have nothing to help me get out.

Kingston will kill me if I try.

All I've been telling myself these past couple days is that I need to cooperate and she'll let me go.

I hope that's true.

I hear the door to the room open and feel a dip in the bed at the end of it.

I open my eyes and see Kingston, sitting with her arms crossed. "You're awake."

"What time is it?" I ask. "Early." She responds.

So helpful.

"You're taking a shower, come on."

Thank god.

She takes my hand and helps me off the bed before grabbing my arm. She takes me into the bathroom and says "Get undressed. I'll turn around."

"Can you leave? I promise I won't do anything." I assure her. She thinks for a minute before sighing. "Fine. I'll wait outside. Don't try a-"

"I'm not gonna try anything." I roll my eyes. "You're learning." She smirks. "Obviously. You say that every five seconds and I'm not tryna get myself stabbed, so..." I trail off.

She chuckles a little before walking out of the bathroom and sitting on the bed.

I shut the door and start taking my clothes off. When I'm done, I start the shower and get in once it's warm.

I wash my hair and my body with the products in the shower before getting out and grabbing a towel. I wrap myself up and then open the door. "Do you have more clothes I can wear? Those ones are kinda dirty." I ask Kingston.

"Sure." She answers and walks out of the room. A minute later, she comes back with another black uniform, but it's clean unlike the other one I've been wearing.

"Thank you." I reply as I shut the door and change into them. Once I'm done, I walk out of the bathroom and sit back on the bed. "I have work to do now. You're going back to the basement, but I won't tie you up again." She tells me. "Okay." I nod.

She grabs my arm and brings me back to the basement. She sits me in the chair and I sigh.

Here comes another day of straight boredom.

"How long are you gonna be gone?" I ask. "Few hours." She replies. "See you later."

"Bye." I say quietly. "Billie?" Kingston asks.

I hum in response. "Don't be stupid." She says.

"What do you mean?" I ask. "You already know what I'm gonna say." She laughs softly and walks upstairs.

Don't try anything.

Why is she being oddly nice?

I'm kind of scared about it.

I need to get out of this place.
