i'm leaving tomorrow and although i do want to spend my time with mom and dad, i also want to see billie again before i go. i felt like i'd regret not seeing her, ill miss her and it's weird i feel this feeling because i haven't felt this in a long time.

"hey." mom snuck up on me.

"don't do that!"

"you should see her." she told me.

"no, i can't leave you."

"yes you can, just call her." mom told me. "you'll come back here a few hours later and seeing you all happy and smiley is how i want to see you leave baby."

i bit my lips, thinking about it while pouring my coffee in my cup. "i should call her?"

"yes!"

"okay."

i took my cup with me and went into my room where i called her. "heyyy." a women answered the phone and there were different noises around her.

"uhm?" i frowned.

"honey! is that my phone?" billie's distant voice said.

"ahhh!" they're was some shuffling and then a "hello?" from billie.

"honey?" i frowned.

"her name is honey, well i really don't know her really name but she goes by honey. that raymond's girl." billie quickly explained. "i— i wasn't calling her honey."

"okay." i frowned still trying to register it in my brain.

"what's up!"

"im leaving today, at nine."

"oh... time really flew by huh?"

"yeah, it did." i nodded. "billie."

"yeah?"

"what are you doing today?"

"i'm on set." she replied.

"oh." i frowned. "well that's a shame."

"no wait." she put me on mute. "okay, can i pick you up at two?" she unmuted herself a couple minutes later.

"yes you can." i replied. "what are we going to do?"

"whatever you want to do blaze."

"alright then, like see you in an hour."

i scrambled to get ready, juni decided to get zero sleep last night and i had just woken up cause mom took her the moment she woke up. i put on some light makeup, changed my outfit about a million times, put on my favorite perfume and by the time i was done with making my hair look somewhat decent, billie called saying she was outside.

i went over to juniper and kissed her until she was all giggly and happy. i told her mama would be back soon and left her with her grandma.

"hey you!" i smiled, getting into the car.

"hey! you're all packed up then?" she replied.

"yeah." i pouted. maybe for two reasons, not just cause im leaving my parents.

"think on the bright side, you'll see iris and eloise soon." told me.

"yeah that's true, the girls were talking on facetime yesterday and my heart almost exploded. that was by far the cutest thing i've witnessed from the both of them." i giggled.

"juniper is such a sweet girl." billie pouted.

"she is the light of my life." i smiled.

"i know she is, you're an amazing mother to her." she told me.
