Addicted To You- Billie Eilish Fanfic

advice

Billie's pov-

Ending things with Rio was super hard for me, but I couldn't believe she just fucked some random dude. Especially one who looked like that. And especially after ditching me on our anniversary. 

I knew it was probably fucked up to not let her explain what happened but I was just so hurt when I heard that I didn't wanna hear anything she had to say. I decided to go talk to Finneas about it and see what he had to say. He's my best friend and usually has great advice. 

I walked down the hallway to his room and knocked on the slightly ajar door. 

"What's up?" I opened the door and saw him looking through old papers of music and erasing things and adding things. He writes music and sometimes I'll sing the songs for him. 

"Hey. Can I get advice about something?"

He set the papers down and took his glasses off looking at me. One thing I loved about him was he always gave his full attention when you needed him. "Yeah of course. Is this about the whole thing that just happened with Rio?"

"Oh so you heard that..."

"Yeah pretty heated. Talk to me. What happened?"

"Well, you know how I've been keeping her in my room and helping her through withdrawal and stuff?"

"Yes I've heard her COUNTLESS times up in the bathroom."

"Alright yeah. Well basically this dude came by the house earlier saying she owed him money. I went upstairs to grab her and when she came down he was like, 'I didn't cum so you still owe me a band' So I was like what the fuck? Because obviously that means they had sex."

"So I threw all of Rio's shit in a garbage bag and kicked her out. I feel really bad but like she cheated on me. And didn't even have enough respect to tell me. I wouldn't have been twice as mad if she would have told me herself. I didn't let her explain what went down though and I feel really bad. I wanna reach out but I get so angry every time I think about texting her. I don't know, I miss her but I seriously don't want to." 

Finneas sat there quiet the whole time listening.

"Well, I never liked you dating Rio after you found out she was doing drugs. I didn't think it was good for you, you know? But getting sober is really hard. And the fact that she wanted to do it for you, that itself says a lot. I'm not saying you should get back with her, but maybe go over and let her explain what happened, and her reasoning for doing it. Then make your decision. But I know she cares for you and wouldn't want to purposefully hurt you. I can tell." 

"So what do I do? Just go over there and be like sorry for throwing all your shit in a trash bag and telling you I never wanted to date you. I'm ready for you to tell me why you fucked some tatted up gangster?" 

Finneas laughed and shook his head, "No, you know what I mean. Just go see her and talk it out. You might be surprised. You want me to give you a ride over there or are you good?" 

I got up off the floor and gave him a hug. "I'm good thanks. I'll text you."

I walked out the room and went to grab my car keys. 

Finneas was right. Rio made the choice to get sober for me. And everyone makes mistakes. My love for her was stronger than her mistakes though. 

I ran outside and hopped in my car, after a short drive I finally arrived in Rio's driveway. My heart stopped.
