We're currently being driven home from the diner, by 'we're' I mean, Billie and I, and our family.

For some odd reason, a faint smile stays on my face. As Billie holds my hand. It makes me feel so happy because she noticed how I felt at the diner, I didn't think anyone would. I wasn't really conversational with anyone either.

The point was for everyone not to look my way because it's one of the things that gets me nervous, I get caught up in their mind even though I have zero thought of what they're thinking. And then I get disappointed in myself for caring so much, and eventually confused.

Which replays the whole day and gets me frustrated, it's stupid.

For Billie to say that she'd never let go of my hand until I got home, completely changed my mood and I remained happy. Hence why the faded smile never wiped off of my face.

She'd give my hand an occasional squeeze every so often, but I think she was oblivious to the fact that she was doing it.

After a while of being on the road, I intertwined our fingers together so that I can fall asleep. Billie didn't seem to mind, her thumb lightly brushing against my skin on the back of my hand.

....

"Avi," I felt someone shake my body gently, speaking in a hushed tone against my ear. My eyelids slowly reopened before closing again, and I hummed questioningly. "You're home, wake up, love." I dozed off shortly after hearing a sentence, I'm just so tired, I don't know why.

But then I was shook again, resulting in me jolting awake. "Hm? Yes?" I rubbed each of my eyes, yawning. "You're home." I hear again, and looked to the side to see Billie. She was smiling softly, "hey Aviana," Claudia spoke, which made me turn my head towards her. "You mind if me and Finn crash for like two hours here? Our house is far and we're both too tired to drive." She explained to me whilst looking through the review mirror to make eye contact with me.

"Oh, I don't mind at all. Take as much time as you need." She smiled genuinely, coming up to my driveway and parking. I then looked over at Billie, "you might as well take a nap too." If neither Claudia or Finneas are driving, then she isn't getting a ride home.

With that being said, all of us exited out of the car and I had trouble searching my through my bag for the key. After finding it, I unlocked the door and told Finn that there's many guest rooms for he and his girlfriend to choose from.

I pulled Billie aside though, "mind sleeping with me?" She's able to calm me down when I feel tired, enough for me to fall asleep quicker than most nights. But she agreed, and followed me upstairs to my room.

"You're really cute when you wake up." Billie stated out of nowhere, easily causing me to blush. "Shut up, lay down with me." I giggled whilst shaking my head. "Seriously though! You're adorable." I dug my face in my pillow, and she laughed fervently at my reaction, climbing into my bed and laying down as well.
