And this is where it starts... // Billie Eilish

Chapter 1

"Wake up." Jordan whispered into my ear. "Lexi! I said wake the fuck up!" She screamed in excitement while shaking me.

I shrugged her hands off of me and groaned, "Fuck off Jordan. Let me sleep." my eyes were still shut.

"Okay... i guess i'll just get out of this shit hole we live in called New York and move to Los Angeles on my own then."

Jordan headed for the bedroom door while staring me down. She was waiting for me to realise what she had just said.

"Okay..." My eyes shot open when i understood. "Wait that's today?!" I jumped out of bed squealing.

"Yes it's fucking today!" Jordan turned around and shouted.

"Yay! We're gonna see Eli and Isaac again! It's been so long since we last saw them!" I screamed at the top of my voice.

"I can't believe it's nearly been two years... time flew the fuck by." She paused and gave me the look. "I bet Elijah's excited to see you again." She smirked whilst eyeing me up and down.

"Shut up Jordan. It's not like that and it never will be. He's my family. I ain't tryna do no incest shit."

"Well clearly you are. That was a double negative meaning you are tryna do some incest shit." She pouted her lips.

"Get the fuck out you smart ass, you're actually disgusting" I said whilst gagging.

"Ooooo... so now you're being defensive. You definitely like him." She winked at me in a completely obvious way.

I picked up a pillow from the bed behind me and threw it at her. She caught it and fired it back at me.

"I'm going to kill you Jordan!" I exasperated.

She ran away knowing i would be to lazy to chase after her.

I started to think about what it would be like to see Isaac and Eli again. I've missed them both a hell of a lot. My cheeks turnt bright red when i thought about Elijah... It annoyed me because i know i don't like him like that, but Jordan keeps messing with my brain to make me think i do.

"I know you're thinking about him right now!" She shouted from the living room.

"I'm not you bitch!" I quickly replied.

"And now you're now lying! That is just plain rude!"

Jordan sprinted back to my room, already out of breath. She poked her head through the door frame as she was scared i was gonna throw something else at her. This time maybe a more solid object.

"What?" I rolled my eyes pretending to be mad at her.

"Make sure you're ready in an hour. Out flights at 12AM. I love you!"

Before i could say anything back, she dashed to the front door and left. It was just me and my own thoughts.

My phone lit up on my side table. It was a message from Eli. Even though we all haven't seen each other in so long, we obviously still kept in touch.

Elijah: What time we picking

Lexi: You're picking us up?

Elijah: Since two minutes

Lexi: Why did i even need

"We're finally in Los Angeles! Eeekkk!" I said with liveliness.

"I know right!" She squealed. "Oh my god Elijah! Isaac!"

I turned around to where Jordan was looking and saw them leaning up against their car. We ran up to them both and had the longest group hug to ever be known.

"It's so great to see you guys again!" Elijah exclaimed.

"We've missed you two so much!" Isaac added.

"So have we!" Jordan replied.

"I've noticed that you guys have a pretty big fan base now." I stated while pouting at them both.

"What can you say? A lot has happened these past 2 years." Elijah giggled. "Seriously though, it's great to see you two again."

Mine and Elijah's eyes found each other. A few seconds of looking at one another, felt like hours. I broke our eye contact instantly hoping that Jordan didn't notice. She would've bombarded me with questions i don't have answers to. Elijah's like my older brother. That's all. Point blank.

-

"So this is your house?" I said shocked.

Jordan was speechless at my side.

"I don't know if i should be hurt or not, but yes it is." Isaac chuckled.

"This is nice as shit... what the fuck bro." I thought out loud.

"Thanks Lex... So, you guys can obviously stay here for a couple nights while you sort out your own apartment." Elijah insisted.

"Thanks for the offer Eli, but it's fine we can stay at our apartme-" Elijah cut me off.

"I insi- I mean we insist... Don't we Isaac."

Elijah nudged Isaac to get his attention as he knew that he wasn't listening to anything that he just said.

"Huh?" Isaac spoke confused.

"We insist that they stay here, don't we."

Elijah stomped on his foot to make him say yes.

"Ow! what the fuck dude?" Isaac shouted at Elijah. "Yes, we do." He said as he turned to me.

"Guys really it's fi-" I started to say.

Jordan interfered, "Bitch shut the fuck up, we're staying." Jordan looks at Elijah and Isaac, "Thanks guys... i'm gonna go find the guest room. Isaac wanna help me?" bats eyes at him.

Jordan's always had a thing for Isaac, but to be fair... she has a thing for every guy. I laughed out loud forgetting i wasn't on my own.

"What you laughing about?" Elijah asked confused.

"Oh nothing... don't worry." I smiled.

"Okay?" Elijah paused to think of what he was going to say next, "Well anyways we're having a party here tonight for your and Jord's arrival. Yano how it is. We gotta be extra for you two." Elijah said chuckling.
