Finneas?!

I quickly fumbled to answer the phone, "H-hello?"

"Hey, Billie is doing really bad, I know this is really last minute but I figured since you're the reason she's like this you'd be okay with it." he said quickly into the phone.

"W-with what?" I stuttered once again. "Is B-billie o-okay?" I said before he could answer my first question.

"She's technically fine but she's refusing to get out of bed and doesn't even want to perform anymore. she wants to cancel the entire tour. I need you to come talk to her, apologize, fix everything basically."

"I was planning on coming to see her at her Barcelona tour because all the other ones were sold out." "she can't cancel her tour, her fans are counting on her." I quickly said into the phone while putting on my shoes.

"Yeah I know this. That's why I called you." He sighed into the phone.

"I'm heading to the airport right now, text me where you guys are at right now." I hung up after that.

Finneas: We're in Stradbally, Ireland. Text me when you land and I'll send the hotel address.

I quickly grabbed a small carry on and shoved my laptop, phone, chargers, passport and headphones into the small bag before running out the door. I quickly hopped into my car and drove to LAX.

"I need your next flight to Ireland please." I said in a rush to the lady at the desk. "One second please." I nodded in response. "Where in Ireland, Miss?" I need to be in Stradbally, I'm not sure what airport that is." I sighed. "Don't worry sweetie, we have a flight in about an hour and a half to DUB, the airport you need to be at. Would you like a one way or round trip ticket?" "One way please." I said as I pulled out my card to pay for the ticket.

I paid and quickly went through TSA, this is the most spontaneous thing I've ever done.

I had about 40 minutes to kill before I had to board the plane so I found a Starbucks and ordered a coffee. I then found a small restaurant I had never heard of before, they had just about anything you would ever want to eat though.

I ordered chicken tenders and fries and quickly ate them before realizing it had already been about 30 minutes and I needed to head back to my gate. I quickly sent Jessica and Britney a text telling them where I was going so they wouldn't freak out at all.

"Flight 127 to Dublin International Airport is boarding now." the lady said into the microphone. I quickly got in line to board the plane. After I boarded the flight, the flight attendant went through all of the safety procedures and soon enough we were in the air on the way to Ireland.

(Just a slight PSA, I've only flown 3 times so I don't know exactly how everything works and all of that so I may have gotten some information incorrect but I did as much research as I could so hopefully it's mostly accurate.)

11 hours later, we landed in Dublin. I texted Finneas as I was getting another coffee from Starbucks. He texted me the location of their hotel and soon enough I was in an Uber on the way there. After an hour in the Uber, we finally arrived at the hotel. I thanked the driver and tipped him.

I don't know if I can do this. I'm so nervous. What if she hates me, and doesn't want to even be near me. I can't see her yet.

I walked into the hotel and up to the front desk, "Hi, how can I help you today ma'am?" the front desk lady asked. "I just need a room for one night please." I sighed nervously. She nodded before typing a few things into the computer.

"We have one room on the 7th floor with a 1 king sized bed, will that be alright?" I nodded in response while getting out my card to pay for the room. I filled out all the necessary paperwork and payed the lady.

She handed me the room key before explaining all their amenities, " We have an indoor and outdoor pool, a gym, a bar, breakfast buffet from 5-10am, and ice and vending machines on every floor. Please enjoy your stay and feel free to ask me any questions if you have them." I nodded before heading to the elevator and going to the 7th floor.

Once the elevator stopped on the 7th floor, I looked down and realized what room they put me in. 727. Right next to Billie's room.

Bea: Hey, I just arrived, they put me in room 727, what a coincidence. I don't think I can come over just yet, I feel really nervous. Finneas: I understand, but don't wait too long, her next concert is tmw at 7pm.

I don't know what to do but I know I can't go see her yet. She probably hates me. What if she genuinely wants to kill me. I'm so scared.

After sitting in my room for 30 minutes contemplating what to do and trying to work up the courage to see the love of my life, I finally knew what I had to do.

I ordered an Uber to the nearest shopping center. I planned on buying her some flowers and chocolates and maybe a stuffed animal. I don't know exactly yet but I'm gonna get her something. Maybe I wont get her the most traditional things.

about 20 minutes later I ended up at a Walmart. I grabbed a bouquet of red roses and walked to the candy aisle for a box of chocolates. After grabbing one of the biggest boxes i started to head towards the checkout lanes. On my way to the register, I came across a bag of gummy bears that made me think of Billie even more.

What am i doing? Billie is not a traditional girl, she doesnt want roses and chocolates. She's gonna cherish these gummy bears more. I set the chocolates and the roses down and grabbed the gummy bears. Maybe I should get her a small stuffed animal too? Definitely

I walked towards the kids section to try and find soome sort of stuffed animal that she would like. I was having a bit of trouble considering we're nowhere near any sort of holiday that requires a stuffed animal to be given. I soon found an adorable little spider stuffed animal and knew I had to get it. She would love it, it fits her aesthetic so well. I quickly checked out and headed back to the hotel.

I went straight up to my room to sort of prepare myself. After almost an hour of pep talks from myself, I had mustered up the courage to go next door.

I walked out my hotel room and stood outside Billie's door. The longer I stood outside her door the more my courage was deteriorating. I had to do it sooner or later. Preferably sooner.

I raised my fist and lightly knocked on her door. No answer. I knocked a little harder the second time. "Coming!" I heard Billie yell. I could hear sadness in her voice. She didn't sound nearly as happy and upbeat as she usually did.

The time between my knock and her opening the door felt like an eternity

I dont know if I can do this.

"Bea?"
