all day and night - billie eilish

five

"this is insane." billie finishes laughing. i nod in agreement. "oh shit we better get out of here." billie says starting up the car. she drives off and i notice police sirens fading in the distance.

billie pulls up to a house and i'm assuming we're at the party.

"i don't know if i'm up for this. i mean, i just flipped a car." i laugh a bit. she bites her lip and looks at the house then at me. "maybe dancing will help you clear your head and... calm down." she suggests, referring to my veins.

i let out a nervous laugh and hide my hands in my sleeves. "alright yeah. sounds fun."

but as soon as we entered the house, i knew it wasn't going to be. i had a sick feeling in my stomach and the lights and loud music was making my head throb. i took a seat in an unoccupied chair and looked around at everything.

it was all in slow motion. lights flashing. music bumping. people dancing-

"yo kam, are you okay?" i hear billie say from beside me. i give her a small smile and nod. "yeah. i just need to let myself calm down."

"alright. if you need anything, i'll be over there." she points to a group of people laughing who i assume are her friends. i nod and watch her walk off.

it's been about thirty minutes since billie last checked on me. a crowd of people blocked my view of her and i was beginning to grow worried. i just had a strong feeling in my chest.

a feeling that she wasn't safe.

i used all my strength to get up and push past the crowd of people. i saw billie's friends.

but not billie.

"hey um excuse me. do you know where billie is?" i yell over the loud music. a small red head looks at me and smiles. "you must be bils new buddy kamryn. don't worry, she's fine. she was drunk as hell so q took her to go lay down."

this all feels a little suspicious.

"well, i need to talk to her about something important. do you know what room she's in?" i nervously fiddle with my fingers.

"i don't know the specific room but you can go down that hallway and check." she points to a small hallway. i thank her and head down the hall.

there's four rooms, two on each side, and one at the end of the hallway. the first two are empty. the second two contain shit i wish i hadn't seen.

finally, the last door. i raise my hand to knock when the door opens and a tall guy with colored hair comes out. he smiles at me then keeps walking.

i go into the room and slowly look around. "billie? you in here?" i hear small sniffles come from the corner of the room. billie?

"billie oh my god. are you okay? what happened?" she's curled up in the corner of the room and tears are streaming down her face. i sit next to her and begin to wipe them away. she looks up at me and i smile.

"i was a little drunk and he- he took me in here. and pinned me on the bed and..."

"i'm gonna kill him." i interrupt her. "no please. if he finds out i told you then something bad is gonna happen. to me."

my heart breaks at her words.

"c'mon, let's get out of here." i stand up and hold my hand out for her. when she takes it, i feel a spark and then my vision blurs.

my memories are filled with hers and everything that happened. i can see what he's done to her. and let me tell you right now, he's not getting away with this.
