An actual scream.
Not just a little ditzy idiotic squeel, something along the lines of.. Murder victim?
Yeah... That's accurate.
I had screamed with a spectacular reason. Heck, my response was probably way calmer than anyone's before.
Billie. Fucking. Eilish. Slid. Into. My. DM.
There was the obvious wave of excitement at the rush of having someone of remote importance message you but also regret for not answering sooner.
She probably won't answer now. She actually has a life.
I sighed before responding, not her to even read it, let alone text back.
Me
hi. uhm holy shit this is really happening. hey
After looking at it again, I shook my head and groaned at how desperate I sounded.
Needing some support, I opened up the familiar group chat.
Me
how do you guys feel about Billie Eilish?
Genesis
YOU MEAN THE ACTUAL GODDESS FROM HEAVEN?
Stefanie
I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU FORGOT I TOLD YOU I LOVED HER
Sydney
I THINK SHE IS MY INSPIRATION
Cierra
we both like takis.
Autumn
Cierra that isn't a- okay..
Abigail
Billie is my mom
Me
how would you react if I told you she DM'ed me last night?
Cierra
I would probably toss you in a body bag, hide you in my basement and to pretend to be you :)
Sydney
sometimes i worry...
Stefanie
lets all be real here for a second. I think she implied that Billie in fact DID text her
Cierra
Oh... Hey Ava wanna come over for a little while? We have ice cream in the basement
Me
still just as lactose intolerant as i was when we went to that cow farm for school
Cierra
oh... right.. thank you for forcing me to remember that.
The anticipation was killing me so I looked. I looked at my DM's to look for any indication or reply from her.
wherearetheavocados
hah. relax, it's just me
Me
i mean 'just you' is kinda the reason i freaked out. still cannot believe we are talking now
wherearetheavocados
hey your uhm. voice is really pretty
I honestly could not contain myself. I was too overjoyed and I let out a sound between Melanie's laugh and a strangled cry.
Me
shit that means a lot coming from you
wherearetheavocados
i wrote that song to be upbeat, something you can move to, and the way you were so in tune with your guitair, incredible
Me
well I was inspired
wherearetheavocados
hey so i swear I'm not a weird or a stalker or anything but...
wherearetheavocados
some friends and i are having a get together in L.A.
wherearetheavocados
are you up for going? ik we just started talking n shit but I'm intrigued to meet you
There is absolutely no way in fucking hell this is happening.
I'm dead. I have died and because I had been a bitch to my sister, I went to hell. I went to hell and this is my punishment because a was ultimately a terrible person who did terrible things and was fillled with so much hate-
Smack.
I felt the blood rush to my cheeks, pain searing from where someone's palm hit my face.
"What the actual f-"
I looked up and saw Autumn standing before me, hands on her hips.
"You are such a bitch." She accused, tossing her hands up in the air in frustration.
"Wait why?" I asked bewildered.
"You dropped a bomb basically saying you are texting Billie Fucking Eilish and you LEFT ME ON READ.
Did I?
Glancing at our texts I took notice of the texts by Autumn.
Autumn
bitch what?
Autumn
explain tf?
Autumn
bitch dont try me.
Read at 12:26 pm
Shit I guess I did.
"Oops?" I tried to get away with it by apologizing but Autumn had already snatched my phone. Her eyes scanned across the screen and when she saw what I assumed to be Billie's texts, she squealed.
"We have to go!"
What we?!
No no no. I'm not pulling up at a party with my friends just so I can say.
"Sorry they're crashing. Hope you don't mind"
Wait... That's a normal occurance isn't it...
Oh.
"Why havent you responded?" Autumn asked, almost appalled.
"I haven't asked mom or da-"
"Let me stop you right there. How old are you?" She began.
I opened my mouth to answer 'seventeen' but she cut me off.
"Seventeen yes. You are practically an adult. Act like it, live a little!" She said.
I pondered on it for a minute before coming to a conclusion.
"Okay. Alright. Let's do it."
"Do what exactly?" Autumn pressed.
"We are going to L.A."
