take my hand //billie eilish//

chapter 10•

river pov:

i woke up on billies chest, i get up and saw the letter which reminded me i needed to tell billie when she wakes her lazy ass up

i go into the restroom and brush my teeth, brush my hair and do my skin routine, "river where are you" i hear her say in her sleepy voice

attractive.

i go in and take her a water from her mini fridge "thanks" she says before basically chugging the whole bottle

"i have something to tell you, but ill need your help i mean its okay if not but" "ill help"

i take a deep breath and hand her the letter "dont read it let me explain, i need to pack up the house." "what why? your dad owns it"

"my mom does and shes selling it"

billie pov:

WHAT, HER MOMS WHAT

"no river" i say she looks confused "you cant let her do that fight for it" "are you insane" she giggles "im 15 shes 34 whos really going to win that?" "true"

"i was just, billie i dont think i can do it" she puts her head in her hands "ill be there ill help" "its not that, its my childhood home and just moving all my dads stuff where can i put it? i dont want to throw it away"

"im sure my dad will help put it in our Attic" she smiles lifting her head "well if you dont mind i want to start today, the faster we get it done the faster i can move on"

"anything for you river we will go right now"

~time skip~

river pov:

we get here and i unlock the door like i did everyday expect this day is different, i walk in and the house is empty billie is getting boxes out the car while i sit and remember that one memory

~flashback~

"mommm" i shout, no response so i grab a snack from the fridge

"so your leaving me? like that" "yeah i am" i hear shouting from upstairs "what have i done, is this about river?" "of course not i love her and you but this life is to much for me" i
heard a bang on the top of the stairs and its a box?

"dad" i say feeling tears form

"its okay peach, dont worry moms going away for a while but she'll come back, go watch tv" i smile and run in the living room

"come on elizabeth whats the real reason?" "that is paul i told you now let me get my stuff" "look i know river isnt doing so good but we can fix that"

"im sorry paul i dont want this life anymore" "what life!" my dad shouts "i need to go" "no" "let go of me paul" "why should i? your leaving without a real reason, river is the most precious thing ever yes her anger isnt so pretty but we can get her help" "im sorry paul but i want a restart"

i gave my mom a hug and she left...

~end of flashback~

"river?" billie taps my shoulder, i wipe the tear that fell down my cheek and and turn around "thank you" i take the boxes and drag her arm with me "we should start upstairs in my room"

we go upstairs and i walk in placing the boxes on my bed "im going to miss this bed" i giggle i start pulling out random shit from under my desk

"awhhh bills come here, look" its a polaroid of me and billie on halloween we look so cute we are around 6-7 on the pic "we should put this on your wall" she smiles and nods continuing to pack stuff

i pull out my shoe collection because i used to be a huge sneaker head and the memory hit like a ton of bricks

~flashback~

"river" my dad shouts coming through the door holding a nike box

"these are for you, i was going to wait till your birthday but youve been doing so good since i started homeschooling you deserved them" he kissed me on top of my head and i ran to the sofa and opened them

"try them on give me a spin" he giggled "i will i just need to match the outfit" he rolled his eyes playfully and i came back downstairs the stairs

"they suit you rivvy" "i love them thanks dad"

i hugged him and he kissed the top of my head

~end of flashback~

"these are sick" billie said as she picked them up "thanks they were my gift for being amazing" i playfully flicked my hair behind my back "these are genuinely so sick you got anymore to show me"

me and billie were sneaker heads shes more about fashion now though and im more into looking pretty its crazy how when you get older you start to care more about your appearance

"of course i do i have a whole ass collection" i giggle "why dont we put them on my shoe case? it needs filling and id be honoured to have yours on there too" i smiled "yes yes yes"

we start to take all the full boxes into the car but as we go back into my room i realise i have a secret piece under my bed

as i go under my bed billie questions me "what on earth are you doing women?" i grab out the friendship bracelets me zoe drew and billie made years ago

"look" i say holding them up "we should give zoe and drew theres"

i have them because my dad finally gave into a girls night we did facemasks and watched movies and ate snacks a typical little girls sleepover not billie though shes always been boyish and more masculine which i found cute

but she did agree to make these "we should totally give them those see their reaction that you still have them"

"of course you guys are my best friends but you mrs eilish are my number one" i grab my shoe boxes and walk past her

a little flirting here and there i like it 😜
do we like the flashbacks?
should they get together already or shall we wait to see...
