On The Road // Billie Eilish

congrats dude.

I awoke to the sound of my phone vibrating on repeat. A groan slipped through my lips as i reached for it under the pillow, my phone screen lit up: Hazza x : was calling. 

I placed the phone up to my ear only to be greeted by the sound of screaming. 

Bella: Woahhh explain? 

Hazza: You'll never guess what?!

Bella: Well i doubt i'll ever know unless you tell me so spill.

My voice was super raspy whereas it seemed as if Harry had been awake for a while. 

Hazza: Billie is doing a meet up at the music store downtown!

My heart leaped practically out of my chest, causing my body to leap forward. 

Bella: Fuck Off! no way. When?

Hazza: Today at 2pm! get yourself ready baby because we're about to meet Billie Eilish.

The call ended and i began jumping on my bed. Billie is such an inspiration for me, through her songs i feel her pain and her words pull me in every single time. The feeling is hard to explain. 

I got out of bed and rushed towards the bathroom, turning the shower on. The feeling off cool water brushing down my body make me feel so alive and pumped for meeting Billie. Once i was finished, i dried my hair thoroughly and began doing my make-up. I never really wore much make-up, mainly just mascara and concealer, i didn't see the point. I believe in self love. Love yourself for who you are rather than what other people think of you or want from you. 

I chucked on my cycling shorts and my Billie Eilish WWAFA hoodie and slipped on my falcon trainers. My comfiest. I  pulled my hair up into a sleek back ponytail, grabbed my bits and went downstairs to be greeted by mom cutting up some vegetables. 

"Where are you off too?" She asked without lifting her head. "To meet Billie Eilish" I said trying to get myself too excited. The excitement yet nerves were trying to take over my body all at once. "Nice" Was all i got in return. "Seriously mom, you know how much her music means to me, couldn't you at least act a little bit happy for me?" I asked while grabbing an apple from the fruit basket.

"Congrats Dude" She laughed a little at her 'typical' teen comment. "Whatever, i'll be back around 8 tonight" I walked over and kissed her on the cheek before walking out my front door and sitting on the steps leading to my front door.

After waiting around fifteen minutes, Harry pulled up in his cute little range rover. "Hey boo, get in" he yelled from his tinted windows. Harry's family totally had money to afford this where my mom on the other hand wouldn't even allow me to get a bike, because it's not in budget range. 

"Wow, i can't believe this is happening, how did you even find out?" I asked as we drove down the freeway. "Her instagram story, so glad i got those notifications on" He chuckled causing me to laugh.

"Me neither, i have them on but i was sound-o. Where's Billy?" 

For those wondering, Harry was 101% gay. Everyone always assumed me and him were together but we're just the best of friends. Someone he can confide in with all his issues and well Billy, his Harry's boyfriend. They've been going out for just over a year and honestly, they are the cutest couple. Only problem is, Billy dislikes Billie Eilish. I mean each to their own but come on has he taken a look through her instagram the girls stunning. 

"His gone to visit his grandparents for the weekend in Boston. Have a free apartment. Drinks at mine later?" he offered. "I think this is good enough to celebrate" I nodded in agreement. "I think we should play a lil bit of Eilish before we meet her, get ourselves pumped for this" I plugged my phone into the AUX and blasted 'Bury A Friend'.

The words fell from my mouth, i knew all the lyrics to each of her songs. Never understood how i could remember song lyrics but never maths. huh. 

We both sang from the top of our lungs. Windows down. It was a beautiful day. But before i knew it the music lowered indicating i had a new notification. I paused the music. 

"Ooo Billie just posted on her instagram story" I slid across and before i knew it the phone dropped to the floor. 

It was a video of Harry and I jamming in the car to Bury A Friend. I turned to the side and saw Billie laughing slyly. 

We approached the traffic lights and weirdly enough her car stopped right next to ours. Harry began screaming. "Oh my god Billie we're such huge fans, we're literally on our way to your meet up" I yelled through the window. 

"That's dope, i'll follow you guys on insta when i meet you! I won't forget your faces" Her window rolled back up and i let out a breath i didn't even know i was holding. "Harry" I whispered. 

"Bella" He whispered back, the car began moving forward as we realised there was a bunch of cars waiting to go as the lights turned green. 

"Did what i think happen just happen?" A smile grew across both of our faces. 

"WE JUST SPOKE TO BILLIE FUCKING EILISH BRO!" Harry yelled causing me to scream.

I felt like my body had no words, out of all people that could have possibly happened to, us of all people and then she said she was going to follow us on instagram later and that she wouldn't forget our faces. Rad.

"You know what this means right?" I said while picking my phone back up off the car floor. "What?" He answered. "We can't fangirl. We need to be chill about this. Otherwise it might put her off" I said trying to be calm. "Yeah, right. That makes sense" He agreed. 

We pulled into the car park of the music store and parked next to the car that Billie arrived in, pfft we would know.
