Is that... Billie Eilish?

Anne's pov...!

As the elevator doors closed, Billie looked at me, checking if I was still upset. I gave her a small smile, letting her know that I was okay now. She wrapped her arms around me, pulling me into a gentle hug.

"You sure you're okay?" she asked, her voice muffled against my shoulder.

"This is the third time you've asked me" I said laughing as I pulled away from the hug.

"I know, I just want to make sure you're okay" she pouted, and I gave her a quick peck on the lips.

"I'm fine, I promise" I said, lifting my pinky in front of my face, giving it a kiss, and then holding it out to her. She laughed and did the same, hooking her pinky with mine.

The doors slid open to our floor and we made our way down the hallway hand in hand.

As soon as we were inside the room, I kicked off my shoes and collapsed onto the bed with a sigh of relief. Billie joined me, flopping onto my body and knocking the breath out of me with the impact.

"Get off" I complained, squirming beneath her "you're crushing me"

"You weren't complaining the other night when I was on top of you" she shot back, making my movements freeze as my cheeks turned red.

"Shut up" I mumbled, and she eased her weight off me but didn't move away, letting me turn to face her.

"Hi" she said softly "hi" I replied, smiling as I wrapped my arms around her neck, pulling her into a kiss.

"Mmm... wait" I said between kisses.

"What?" she mumbled leaving kisses in my neck.

"I have something for you" I said pushing her lightly so I could get up.

We're minutes away from her birthday and her parents and I were going to sing to her at midnight to celebrate. We figured it would be a nice way to mark the start of her special day, especially since we'd be traveling back to LA tomorrow. It was going to be a packed day, so we wanted to make sure we had this moment to enjoy together before things got hectic.

"Where you going?" she asked chuckling.

"I asked your mom to hold onto the gift because I knew a certain someone would be too curious and find out" I said, finishing putting my shoes back on. Billie laughed and nodded in agreement. I gave her a quick kiss before heading out of the room. 

I made my way down the hall and knocked on her parents' door. They smiled knowingly when they saw me and handed over the small box. I thanked them, and we walked back to my room together.

"Billie, I forgot my key card" I said, knocking on the door.

I heard a groan from her, followed by footsteps approaching. When she opened the door, she quickly scanned us with her eyes and burst into laughter, throwing her head back. 

Her reaction made us laugh too, but we quickly stepped inside, and Patrick closed the door behind us. We started singing "Happy Birthday" not too loud though, so we wouldn't disturb anyone else in the hallway.

Maggie was holding a small cupcake with a lit candle, and I recorded the whole moment.

"Make a wish" her dad said softly. Billie closed her eyes, and after a brief moment, she blew out the candle with a smile, her eyes sparkling under the soft glow of the room.
