Addicted To You- Billie Eilish Fanfic

i wanna help you

Billie's pov-

I woke up to Rio in bed beside me with her arm around my waist. I turned around shaking her awake.

"Where the fuck have you been?"

"Bil , I'm so sorry.." She turned so that her body was turned towards me and propped her head up with her hand. I saw a bruise on the inside of her arm and grabbed it.

"Saying sorry doesn't answer my question and what the fuck is this?" I pointed to her arm. She pulled away.

"Billie, I wanna tell you everything but I don't want you to be mad at me...because I'm trying..I-I'm trying so hard" Rio said sitting up. She looked so fragile and broken. I sat up and grabbed her hand.

"Rio, I'm not mad. I love you and I'm here. I'm not going anywhere, you can trust me. I'm not gonna be gone. Please just let me in so I can help you." I felt myself starting to tear up but I pushed them away.

I needed to be strong for Rio. A shoulder she could lean on.

Rio's pov-

"Okay.."

"I've been doing drugs since I was 14. My mom had a boyfriend over and he stayed home when she went to work one day and I remember I came downstairs from my room and he was popping some pills. He asked me if I wanted to try some and when I said no he made it clear it wasn't an option. Whenever he would come over he would give me some, and from then on I've just been craving them. I realized I would do anything to avoid withdrawal. Anything."

"I've tried so hard to stop. I've gone to rehab for a few months but nothing helps. When I met you I wanted to get sober because I love you and I don't wanna hurt you but its just. so. hard."

I broke down in tears and collapsed in Billie's arms. She held me and played with my hair whispering in my ear how much she loved me and how I was gonna over come this addiction. How she'd be with me every step of the way.

She lifted my head up and kissed me. "I'm gonna help you get sober. You come stay at my place tonight. I don't have any drugs or anything. I'll help you through your withdrawal and I'ma get you clean."

"I'm an asshole during withdrawal. I don't wanna put it on you."

"It's not 'putting' it on me. I wanna help you. I love you."

Billie was so good to me. Most people just left and told me to go fuck myself when I did dumb shit like what I did last night but Billie was different. I didn't tell her about what happened with Giggles because I checked out when I got to the room but I needed to tell Billie what went down. It was the right thing to do. I would, when the time was right.
