Ughhhhh!
I roll over and reach out to my nightstand and quickly shut off the alarm on my phone.
It's 10:30 am and I'm still exhausted from my shift last night.
My body aches and my head is pounding. I slowly run my fingers through my long blonde hair and wince as my fingertips brush across the deep cut that now ran across my right temple through my hair. Great... another scar to look forward to. I pick up my phone again and check the notifications on the screen. 6 missed calls and 1 text from an unknown number and 3 texts from my boss. I unlock my phone and immediately open the texts from my boss

Phil :
Hey buddy. I hope you're not in too bad shape after last night. You did a fucking phenomenal job last night and handled everything perfectly. Just finished mopping up your bloody mess from the club floor after that one incident lol. Super proud of your efforts last night though and again, I hope you're alright. Call me if you need anything   -delivered 8:00am-

P: Hey sorry to bug you again dude but there's a woman down here that wants to speak with you. She said it was important. Call me when you're up.  -delivered 8:23am-

P: Um so the woman left, I think she said her name was Maggie O'Connell? Might be Billies mom? but she was really adamant about getting in contact with you so I gave her your contact info. Hope that's ok. She said it's about the incident last night and she had an offer for you. Sorry. Let me know if you need the night off by the way. If not, I'll see you when you're in later.
-delivered 9:00am-

Let me explain a little bit about myself. My name is Taylor and I'm 23. I used to serve in the military but was injured in combat and was later released from my contract due to my conditions but I'll explain that later. I'm now a bouncer at one of the most popular nightclubs in LA and my job is pretty interesting to say the least. Alcohol, drugs  and clubs don't always seem to mix well with people. Most nights are pretty wild but last night was one of the more noteworthy. The club was much busier than usual and drinks weren't in short supply. We also had quite a number of high profile VIP's in the venue which isn't really all that uncommon but one name on our list of VIP's in particular has been blowing up the internet these past few months
Billie Eilish.

Flashback to 12 hours before
Time - 10:30pm

I'm standing at the door of the club checking ID's and waving people through. The line to the entrance of the club snakes all the way down the block and I can hear the excited conversations between the patrons waiting to be checked in.

"Yo Taylor! You ready for a big night kid?" My boss Phil says in my ear from behind me ruffling my shoulders. I could tell he was a little buzzed which was a routine of his before a really big event at the club and I can't really blame the guy to be honest with you. Shit gets wild here and tonight was going to be a headliner for us. He's the owner of the club and also a close family friend of mine. I've worked for him ever since what happened to me in the forces and he's been really good to me and my family.
"So just like we talked about, we've got a few big names that will be in the club tonight so we gotta keep shit locked down tight okay? Our biggest VIP tonight, Billie Eilish, will be arriving at 11pm and I'm putting you in charge of looking after her. You've got a good handle of yourself here so I'm making you head guard and she's your responsibility so take good care of her" he fist pumped me and gave me a reassuring grin before disappearing back into the club.

Billie fucking Eilish dude. I didn't need any explanation as to who she is. She's easily one of the biggest names out there right now. I've listened to a lot of her songs and I gotta admit i fucking love the girls style. She'd have to be almost 18 years old now. I remember when her music just started going viral on SoundCloud.
I feel pretty nervous about being in charge of looking after her while she's here tonight just because I'm a bit of a fan of her music but I need to keep a level head. This is work we're talking about. I've done this a hundred times over. I know what I'm doing. I've got this.

I motion to the other guard on the door to take over checking ID's as it's now getting close to 11. I check my watch impatiently. 10:55
I make my way to the edge of the curb and begin to watch the passing cars when I suddenly feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. 1 text message from my best friend Brooke who also worked at the club behind the bar

Brooke
Dude is Billie Eilish actually gonna be here tonight? Phil just told me she's all yours for the night! So fucking jealousssssssss!

Hahah calm down dude :') she's like 17 remember?  But yeah I'm looking after her for tonight. Keep your radio in check  okay? It's going to be a big one..

yeah yeah yeah lol
and for sure bb I'll keep it close and I'll call if I need a hand kicking out any drunk fuckers lol
be safe <3

Yes maaaaaa'amm haha <3

Right as I put my phone back in my pocket a big black SUV with tinted windows rolled up to the curb where I was standing and the line of people waiting started to stir as a team of people began to pile out of the vehicle. The first two males who were obviously twins I didn't recognize. The both nodded their heads at me as the passed and walked into the VIP entrance. The next was a small girl with long red hair fixed in a high pony tail, large hooped earrings and crazy long sparkling fingernails. Bhad Bhabie otherwise known as Danielle Bregoli.

"Ayoooo bitch! Shit we got ourselves the sexy guard tonight!" She winked in my direction popping her gum as she walked towards the VIP entrance.
"She's exactly as I expected her to be" I thought to myself and chuckled.

I patiently waited for the last person to exit the vehicle but I could hear she was having some trouble so I poked my head in the door.

"Hahah shit. Fuck. Yo can you help me. I'm stuck... I think it's my chains" Billie was looking down tugging hard on her chains which were jammed in the passenger door on the other side of the car. She looked up at me quickly once and then did a double take  "Oh... hey... um... wow...haha hey. I don't know how this happened haha" she said to me shyly and her cheeks beginning to turn a deep shade of crimson.
"Hold up" I said chuckling as I closed the door and began running to the other side of the car. I quickly opened the door and heard the clinking sound of her chains dislodging from the door.
I quickly held out my hand and helped her out of the vehicle which she gladly took.
The first thing I noticed when she got out of the car was how much shorter she was than me. I wouldn't really say that I'm a tall person but the very top of her head only just reached my chin.
She looked up at me shyly and flashed one of her signature smiles.

"You must be Taylor. My manager said he spoke with your boss and you're apparently the best bouncer here! An understatement I'd say" She said coolly with her brow raised slightly as she looked me up and down
"Oh well that's super nice of him to say haha. I guess I'm pretty good at my job yeah haha" I replied a little flustered by Billies last comment  
"Cool! Well looks like you're my shadow for the night. I mean, I ain't complainin' or anything" she said with a slight husk in her voice looking me up and down again.
I felt my cheeks and ears start to burn which they often did when I was nervous. Fuck I hope she didn't notice
I quickly cleared my throat "cool well let's head inside and get you up to the VIP section. It's pretty crazy in there tonight but I promise you're in good hands" I said with confidence 
She looked down at my hands raising her brow again as she did before and quickly meeting my gaze with her bottomless blue eyes
"Oh I bet" she hummed with a hint of seduction in her voice

Hope ya'll are enjoying so far! This is my first Billie fanfic that I've written so be patient with me :) I've got some fucking good plans in motion for this one so please keep reading! Also, this will probably be a long story and I don't want it to move too quickly with what's going to happen so I hope y'all will enjoy the tension!
