Is that... Billie Eilish?

bonus: billie's girlfriend - 39

Quick explanation: These extra chapters will probably have a different structure. Less polished, shorter paragraphs, fewer words,  etc.

And it probably won't be in chronological order

Basically, I just wanna use all those ideas that didn't make it into the main chapters. A lot of them are just little moments that don't quite fit as full chapters, so yeah

enjoy :)

Anne's pov..!!

"Shh!" 

"Is her, is her, oh my god!"

I lifted my head from the pack of cookies I'd been reading the ingredients on when I started hearing voices and giggles.

Who's here?

I shrugged and kept reading the ingredients. I guess Billie will have to stay away from these cookies.

"Yes! Look, it's Billie's girlfriend, Ann!"

Oh.

What?

I slowly raised my head, turning it to my right. Two girls were standing at the end of the grocery aisle. They looked around fourteen, one of them holding two phones—one as if she was reading something and the other pointed right at me.

When they realized I'd seen them, the girl with the phones nearly dropped them, and both of them bolted, disappearing from my sight.

Uh... okay?

I stood there for a second, processing what just happened. Did I really just get spotted by a couple of kids at the grocery store?

I tossed the pack of cookies into the basket, half-laughing to myself. Life with Billie was definitely different.

As I started to walk down the aisle toward the dairy section, I caught myself glancing over my shoulder, making sure the coast was clear. This was the first time I'd been recognized since we went public, and I wasn't exactly used to it.

Grabbing a carton of oat milk, I wondered if they were posting about me right now. 'Billie's girlfriend spotted reading cookie ingredients, exclusive footage!' The thought made me laugh. It was surreal.

When I finished shopping and left the self-checkout section with my bags, I saw the same girls again near the exit. As soon as they saw me, they waved and started walking toward me. I smiled politely as the three of us approached each other, them coming my way and me heading out.

"Hi!" one of them said, a little nervous but excited.

"Hey" I replied with a smile.

The other girl seemed to be gathering the courage to say something. Just as I reached the door, she blurted out "we love Billie!" her friend elbowed her like it wasn't obvious.

I laughed softly "thanks, I'm sure she'll love to hear that"

We stood there for a second, in that sweet but slightly awkward moment.

"Can we take a picture?" the girl with the phones asked, sounding a bit more confident this time.

I blinked, a little caught off guard. A picture? With me? I wasn't Billie, or even someone famous. Why would they want a picture with her girlfriend? For a second, I wanted to ask them why, but I didn't want to make it more awkward.

"Sure, but make it quick before I drop these bags" I joked.

They giggled, quickly huddling up next to me, with one of them snapping the picture with shaky hands.

"Thank you!" they said almost in unison, clearly thrilled.

"No problem, take care"

As they walked off, still chatting excitedly, I stood there for a moment, adjusting the bags in my hands. It was a strange feeling, knowing they were probably going to post that photo somewhere, and people I didn't know would see it. The whole idea of being recognized because of Billie was still something I was getting used to.

I headed toward the parking lot, the automatic doors sliding open as I stepped outside. The cool air felt good after being inside, and I started making my way to the car when my phone buzzed in my pocket.

I juggled the bags into one hand and pulled out my phone—Billie's name lit up the screen.

"Hey" I answered, trying to sound normal, even though I was still processing what had just happened.

"Where you at?" she asked casually. I could hear some music in the background, like she was messing around in the studio "you've been gone forever"

"Just finished up" I said, laughing a little "you won't believe what happened though"

"Oh?" Her tone shifted, curious now "what, did they run out of oat milk or something?"

"Uh, no. I got recognized"

There was a pause on the other end, then Billie let out a little laugh 

"Wait, seriously? You?"

"Yeah, two girls asked for a picture with me. It was weird" I said, shaking my head even though she couldn't see me.

"Wow. Look at you, all famous now!" she teased, though I could hear the smile in her voice "guess I'm not the only one getting stopped in grocery stores anymore"

"Very funny" I said, rolling my eyes even though I was smiling. 

"But yeah, they totally knew who I was. First time that's happened since, you know..."

"Since we went public?" Billie finished for me "that's kinda wild. How'd it feel?"

"Weird" I admitted, tossing the bags into the car and leaning against the trunk "like, I'm just me, you know? But I guess this comes with dating someone like you"

"Yeah, well, you're not just me anymore" she said softly "they see you with me, but you're becoming part of their world too"

I stood there for a second, letting that sink in. It was a lot to process, but Billie always had a way of making things feel a little less overwhelming.

"Yeah, I guess I'll figure it out" I said, the smile coming easier now "but don't expect me to start loving the spotlight"

"Trust me, I wouldn't want you to" she said, her voice warm "just get home in one piece, alright?"

"Yes, ma'am" I chuckled, pushing away from the trunk to close it. "Mwah, love you"

"Love you more. See ya"
