fourteen years old"billie!" I scream as I jump on top of her. "it's your birthday!"
"get off of me," billie groans as she buries her face in her pillows. "go away."
"billie," i murmur, wrapping my arms around her shoulders and my legs around her waist. "bil, wake up."
"no," she says shortly, her arms raising just slightly to grip onto my arms, holding me in place. "no wake, just cuddle."
i let out a soft laugh, pressing my lips to her cheek. "bro, come on, your have to get up so we can go get your present."
"present?" she asks sleepily, her blue eyes opening just slightly as she looks over her shoulder at me. "what present?"
"you wont know if you dont get up," I whisper into her ear, a cheeky grin spreading across my lips. "hurry and get dressed."
"but it's so warm," she says, turning around in my grasp. she rests her head on my tank top covered chest, her eyes closing as she grips onto the cloth. "your excitement is disturbing the peace."
"we've got to go," i tell her, pressing my forehead against hers. "finneas and i made something for you and it starts at two."
she lets out a loud groan, her arms pulling my body closer to her own. "ten minutes for cuddles and then ill get up, promise."
"we really dont have a spare ten minutes," i murmur softly, slowly running my fingers through her silver hair. "unless you can get ready in five, then okay."
"fine by me," she mutters, burying her face in my neck.
i continue to run my fingers through her soft hair, humming along to a random tune as i keep my eye on the clock on the wall. for what finneas and i had planned, we had to be on time, otherwise there wouldnt be any type of surprise.
id been planning this for months - ever since finneas had finished putting the song together. billie would surely love it - i hope.
i press my lips to her forehead when the five minute mark hit, murmuring a soft, "come on, billie, wake up."
"but why?" she whined hoarsely, her gorgeous blue eyes looking into my own. "why must i get up?"
"because i have something planned, and you need to be there for it." i tell her, brushing her hair from her forehead. "you promised."
she huffs and rolls out of my arms, placing her feet on the floor. "why's it so fucking cold in here?"
i shrug slightly, shoving my hand through my hair as i look at the girl. "let me go grab my bag from my house and I'll be back to grab you and finn."
"dont fall down a well," she deadpans, glancing at me before standing up and walking to her closet. "are you gonna tell me what i should wear?"
"something nice but comfortable," I tell her as i stumble over, pressing my lips to her cheek. "I'll be back in, like, two minutes."
i race out of billies house and make my way next door, swinging the front door open. i run down the hallway and grab my dance bag off of my bed, before immediately running out and to finneas' car, throwing the bag into the trunk of his car.
i take a deep breath as i make my way up the front steps and into billies house, immediately walking to her bedroom.
shes pulling on a pair of baggy black pants when i walk in, talking to herself in a low grumble.
"i swear to god, if this is some stupid shit, im gonna kill that kid - i love her to death, but goddamn, i cant- whoa," she says as she turns and sees me standing in the door way. "how long have you been standing there?"
"i promise you, itll be worth it," i grin, walking over and grabbing her hands. "are you ready?"
"yeah," she mumbles, pulling a black jacket over her tank top. "lets get this shit over with so i can go back to sleeping my life away."
I pull her out of the bedroom and bang on finneas' door. "finn, let's go, we're gonna be late!"
"mom and jocelyn are already there," he says as he exits his room, closing the door behind him. "everything is all set up and ready - are you ready?"
"im ready," i tell him with a grin, looking over at billie. "are you ready?"
"should i be scared?" she asks with furrowed eyebrows, crossing her arms over her chest as she pulls her silver hair into a ponytail.
"you'll love it." i tell her, pulling her outside and to the car.
the car ride was spent in silence, with the exception of justin bieber's christmas album playing lowly on the speakers, as per billies request.
the look of confusion that spread across her face as we pull in to the parking lot of the dance studio, was truly comical. "what are we doing here?"
"you'll see," i tell her as i hop out of the car, immediately grabbing my dance bag out of the trunk and running into the building to change.
1:59.
theyd better not start without me.
i take my place in the dimly lit room, watching as billie and her family, as well as my mom and dad, sit in front of the wall length mirror.
i face the back of the room, taking deep breaths as the beginning cords of ocean eyes plays through the speakers.
"no way," i hear billie gasp.
(let's just say that marley is taking billies place in this video)
as the song comes to a close, a wide smile spreads across my face. looking at billie, with her eyes wide and mouth ajar, a soft giggle leaves my lips.
"holy shit," she says, her hands covering her cheeks as she stares at me. "what the hell- when did you- marley..."
i grin as i walk up to her, pulling her body into a tight hug as i whisper into her ear. "happy birthday, bil."
stay safe babies 💕
