~Billie Eilish_ End of the World~

I got home yesterday, meaning you'll get the usual updates😜

No, this is not the date, sorry to disappoint you but I really wanted to fit in a duet and the preparation and it turned out to be longer then I expected.

>>>▪<<<

"But I have nothing to wear" I complained, my head against the wall.

I was sitting on the floor while Liv threw all my clothes on my bed, trying to find something suitable for tonight.

"What about a dress?" she asked, pulling out small summery dress.

"No, I don't think I'd feel comfortable wearing a dress."

"So jeans."

She went back digging through my pile of clothes and came out with a pair of light mum jeans. She held them up to me and I agreed. They were nice and really comfy.

"Of course you'll wear heels, to dress them up a bit."

She handed me a white blouse and mustard hankle strapped sandels with chunky heels.

I quickly changed into the outfit and turned to face her.

"Jeans and heels, yes. Blouse, no."

I threw the blouse on my bed and waited for her to pick out another top.

"Where's that top you had? With the sunflowers?"

"I gave it to Harper" I admitted.

She sighed and sighed again as she finished going threw the pile of clothes.

"I'll be back" she called disappearing out of my room.

She arrived seconds later with a grin.

"No way I'm wearing that" I said recognizing my mother's top.

"But it'll go perfectly!" she whined "And I'm sure she wouldn't mind you wearing it."

I didn't answer, knowing it was probably true. And I really wanted to wear the beautiful top.

I took the tank top from her and tucked it into my jeans. With spaghetti straps and a low back it was made out of a silky material and had some lace along the small V-neck.

"That is so your color!"

I smiled, admiring myself in the mirror. Red had always suited me, bringing out my tanned skin and dark hair.

"Doesn't it clash with the mustard shoes?" I asked.

"I don't think so" my friend shrugged.

I got undressed, tidied my closet and it was soon time for Liv and Harper to head off.

"You'll do great sis" I encouraged, hugging her.

"Thank you, and have fun with Lexi."

"Yeah I will."

Liv sent me a wink and I smiled. I had decided to keep tonight's date a secret and, as an excuse. I had made up a trip out of town with Lexi, who had agreed to cover.

My sister grabbed her tennis bag and walked out in her little white skirt and T-shirt. The tournament lasted most of the afternoon and they were all going out to eat for dinner.

I closed the door and sighed at the slow hours that separated me from the dinner at Kit's.

>>>▪<<<

Not being able to wait any longer I got into the bathroom to start and get ready. I had spent most of the afternoon walking around excited but nervous, my head filled with questions.

What am I going to say? What do I do when he opens the door? Do I hug him? No, too awkward. What if he goes to kiss me? What if he doesn't? Do I want him to kiss me? Not going to lie, yes. What if he regrets kissing me? I don't but maybe he thought it was to soon...

Although the unanswered questions, butterflies fluttered in my stomach and I wanted to scream and jump up and down with excitement.

I got under the hot shower, trying to release the tension in my back and neck and forget about the What if...'s. The scent of my lemon body wash filled the shower and help me relax just a little bit. I slowly combed through my hair with conditioner, humming. I turned the water back on and sang as it rang down my soapy body.

"If the end of the world is near
Where would you choose to be?

If there was five more minutes
Of air

Would you panick and hide?
Or run for your life?
Or stand here and spend them with me?

If we had five more minutes
Would I
Could I
Make you happy?"

The water went a little cold and I turned it off, wrapping myself in my towel.

"If the end of the world is near
Where would you choose to be?

If there was five more minutes
Of air

Would you panick and hide?
Or run for your life?
Or stand here and spend them with me?

If we had five more minutes
Would I
Could I
Make it happy?"

It was sang in a deep voice and I started to dry myself as he continued.

"So it finally came to pass
I saw the end of the world

I saw the madness unfold
Like some primal burial
I looked back at her

Armageddon
And the moment of truth
Between you and me"

I rubbed in the cream as we sang the last chorus together.

"If we had five more minutes
Of air to breath
And we cried all through it
But you spend them with me
On our last few drags
Of air we agree
I was
And you were
Happy"

>>>▪<<<

After one last look in the mirror I locked the apartment and turned to the identical door next to it.

I breathed, calming the butterflies of my excitement and easing the knot of nervousness.

I lifted my hand and knocked. Seconds later there was the sound of keys and the door unlocked before being pulled open.

>>>▪<<<

I'm sooo sorry to leave you on a cliffhanger... Not ;)

I hoped you enjoyed the nervous excitement of this chapter.

It seems like a long time since they had a sing song, please tell me what you think of their duets. If their badly written, confusion. I'm also open to any song suggestions ;)

Next chapter while be in Kit's POV and I thought we could make it even more exciting...

The first person to vote for this chapter will be sent the start of Chapter 15 tomorrow.

The second will be sent a conversation extract.

And the third will be able to ask 1 question (yes, you can ask for a spoiler;) )

Please VOTE and COMMENT!!!

Lots of Love
