A Billie Eilish Fanfic - Kidnapped 2

Struggled CLEO'S POV

I tucked Calvin into bed as Billie stood at the doorway, watching. I closed the door quietly as his eyelids began to close.

"He's so perfect. You've done so good," she looked up at me with sad eyes, "I'm sorry I left you to do this all yourself. I just...I knew you would be okay. And you were. And he was. He's turned out great without me because you were here," Billie buried her head in my shoulder right outside of Calvin's door and began to cry softly.

I really hadn't been okay. We had struggled...for a long time. I was used to living the extravagant lifestyle Billie had been providing for me and suddenly, I was using EBT for groceries and daycare vouchers so Calvin would be watched when Maggie and I were both working. Calvin always had what he needed but there were many times that I didn't. I didn't even know what I was going to eat that day most of the time. I didn't get my shit together until I started teaching dance and met Amber...she helped me get back on my feet. A felt a tinge of guilt, remembering amber's hurt face when she saw Billie walking into my house.

"What's wrong C?" Billie was staring at me. She had been talking for some time now and I had zoned out.

"Billie where the fuck did you go? What happened to you? I needed you...you don't know what it was like. I didn't know what I was doing. There were so many times I thought to myself that you would know what to do, how to help, but you weren't there..." I stuttered out the questions that had been on my mind for years now.

Billie just stared with a blank stare, she picked me up and wrapped my legs around her waist, carrying me towards my bedroom.

"Let's get in bed and I'll explain everything to you okay?" She whispered in my ear, kissing my forehead sweetly, "I'm so sorry C."
