Glowing Eyes ◆ Billie Eilish

◆chapter seventeen◆

For some reason, some of ya'll couldn't see what Nalia looked like so I put her in the picture above. Hopefully, it works because idk what happened.

your pov.

Three weeks later

Darkness.

That's all I see around me. The only thing lighting up the place is the occasional thunderclap and lightning coming closer.

Dangerously Close.

The sound of harsh rain beats down filling my ears while the wind latches onto my skin and chokes my lungs.

I can't breathe.

Memories of her cloud my mind. Like every single thought bubble in my head is tinted in her color. I can't run away from her.

I can't run away from her because it's like running away from myself.

It's storming outside and it's storming inside.

And it fucking hurts.

Another thunderclap another crackle of light coming closer.

I need to get out of here I need to run it's not safe but I'm stuck to this spot.

The misty rain dampens my clothing as it travels through the cracked makeshift windows.

I'm cold.

I can't sleep because every time I close my eyes I see her.

I'm tired.

That's the curse of having a soulmate, isn't it?

Another thunderclap, even closer than before. It's like it's making its way to me. Like I'm the path it needs to take.

I lied when I said I'd be fine.

I threw the last of my stuff in the bag I originally came with when I ran away from my mother. I sigh as I look around this room that I probably won't see for a long while.

"Are you sure you're fine and have a place to stay?" Billie asks me.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. I'm just gonna stay with a friend," I lied. I can't go to Evelynn's because I don't want to risk running into Kade like last time and I don't know what it's like between Eve and I anymore. I obviously can't go back to my mother's house. So I have only one option.

The treehouse.

The treehouse in the woods that are close to the neighborhood. My father built it for me before he died and I'd always go up there anytime I needed an escape. He was great at building things so it had nice windows and we put some stuff up there to be comfy. There's a soft beanbag with a little couch. A desk and some shelves too. I put some snacks there and make sure to replace them before they get too old or anything.
I haven't been there in months though, because Billie soon became my escape.

Not anymore.

Billie even though she broke up with me let me stay with her still. I just slept in the guestroom. But it hurts too much to stay with her and plus it's just plain awkward and she's only letting me because she thinks I have nowhere else to go.

I blamed Kade and this stupid prophecy for what happened to us.

But it's really just my fault.
