Inside the STAPLES Center (picture above)
Y/N’s POV

    I know I say it a lot but oh boi. This place is way bigger from the inside. “So where are we seating?” said an equally astonished Nate “Just Google it dude and besides don’t you see the big cardboard signs with people’s name on it on every seat?” said Finn pointing to one of the chairs. We looked around but decided to just Google it. Apparently none of us are sitting together. The closest was me and Finn since we were 2 sits apart. “So see you guys later and see you back stage Y/N.” said Julian. “See me backstage? Why would I be backstage?” he looked at me like I was stupid and said” Remember we are submitting the award for album of the year.” “Shit dude I forgot. Oh fuck well we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. See ya guys later.”. I went to my seat and took down the cardboard sign with my name on it and put it under the chair and made myself comfortable. Finn went 2 seats to my left and did the same. “So who is sitting next to you?” I turned looked at the signs and said “Well on my left is Alessia Cara and on my right is Billie and next to her is…” I got up curious on who is sitting next to her “… oh fuck its Justin.” I sat back annoyed and I can hear Finn laughing. “Wait is it the same Alessia that you managed to get the phone number of?” “Yeah and how the fuck did you know that?” “Nate told me.” He said still smiling. “OK man imma take a nap. Wake me up when the whole shit starts”

Billie’s POV

    “Justin why the fuck would you say that about him” to say that I was angry at him was an understatement. He looked at me and said “Oh come on Bil I didn’t lie about anything” I was surprised. Angry but still surprised at his manners “Watch your next words Justin.” I said seriously. He gasped and said “What I didn’t say any lies. He’s an alcoholic pill junkie who probably bribed his way to get here and come on with all his fake mental illnesses he probably deserves to die.” *Slaps him* “Fuck you Justin don’t you dare speak like that about my friends.” I left and went into the STAPLES center while he stood there still surprised at what I just did. I was surprised too but he deserved it. I went inside and an usher showed me my seat. I followed him and when I reached my seat I found Finn and Claudia talking to some girl and Y/N sleeping like a baby. I smiled and sat next to them. Finn noticed that I was here and said “Hey Bill. Where’s Justin?” I sighed and replied with “Don’t worry about him Finn” I paused for a second and said “Ok if you say so and btw the is Alessia, Alessia meet my sister Billie.” I got up careful to not wake up Y/N and extended my hand “Hey nice to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you.” She smiled shook my hand and said “So I’ve heard.”. I sat back on my seat but I accidentally woke up Y/N. “Billie? *yawns*” “Yeah Y/N/N it’s me. Now go back to sleep.” He put his head my shoulders and said “Ok.” Old habits die hard I guess. Finn smiled and mouthed “Take a picture.” I took out my phone and took a picture of us and posted it on Instagram with the caption ‘Asleep before it even started’ I caught a sad look on Alessia’s face but I shrugged it off.
    After a couple of minutes Justin came and he looked surprised and sat next to me. I completely ignored his existence. The show started and I nudged my shoulder so that Y/N would wake up. After a couple of nudges, he woke up and he was completely confused. I smiled and said “Calm down dude you’re at the Grammys remember” he rubbed his eyes and said “Oh yeah that.” He turned and said Hi to Claudia and Alessia. The latter being happier than the other. Boi was she whipped and Y/N being the ignorant person he is didn’t notice. The award ceremony had already started with the Record of the Year award. They already stated the nominees me being one of them. The submitters were adding a suspense to it and taking their sweet time to reveal the winner. “…and the winner is…” come on come on come one “…Bad Guys by Billie Eilish.” I stood up and hugged Y/N then Justin. Finn and I went to take the award and I gave a little speech and gave the price for the keepers so that we can take it later. We went back to our seats and the first thing I noticed was that Y/N wasn’t there. I sat back on my seat and asked Alessia “Where did Y/N go?” “He went back stage cause he’s apparently gonna give the ‘Album of the Year’ award.” “Oh”

Back stage
Y/N’s POV      

    “Ok you two get ready we are on in 5 after the commercial break ends.” Said one of the stage coordinators after giving the envelope to Julian. I was scrolling through my socials then Julian asked me “Did you even read the script man.” “Nope and don’t plan to.” I said not taking my eyes of my phone. “Who do you think is gonna win though. I think Lizzo is going to win.” I locked my phone faced him and said “Want to bet on it?” He smiled and said “Ok 500 dollars I bet on Lizzo and you I suppose bet on Billie.” “Yep but not with money. If I win we get to go to the after party but if I lose I will not go any party without your permission ok?” “Ok let’s shake on it then.” He said. We shook on it and soon after one of the stage coordinators came and told us to go when the stage leader or whatever she is called. “Ok next award is Album of the Year and it will be submitted by 2 business men who are polar opposites one being a nice, well-mannered and a success of a person while the other is a failure alcoholic with fake mental health issues you know them both meet Julian Romano and Y/N L/N” She said. I can hear them laughing and I started hyperventilating. Can she even say that?“Its ok man chill I’m here” said Julian while he patted my back. I popped a Xanax and we went on the stage.

    “Hey there people my name is Julian and this is my friend Y/N.” I gave them a small wave. He cleared his throat and continued “Before we continue I want to say that this pill junkie alcoholic that you are talking about has more money deadbeat artist Alissa Keys” they all started laughing and I loosened up and bit and said “So getting back to point Album of the year is not a simple prize. It means that all the tracks in the album are quality top notch records” “and they all acted phenomenally in the Billie board chart and steaming platforms” continued Julian “So with no further ado the winner is…” I opened the envelope and said “Well seems like I’m going to the after party tonight. Its ‘When we fall asleep Where do we go?’ by Billie Eilish”. Billie and Finn can on stage. I bro hugged him and hugged a spun her around forgetting all the people that I watching. She grabbed the mic and said “I don’t have a second speech but I will say this Y/N has done more with his life and gained more success and money than you did in the last 40 years and the only thing that people will remember you for is one single song in all of your failed musical career.” DAMN I have good friends. Everyone in the audience started laughing. She said back and all of us went back stage and back to our seats “Ok see ya guys later.” Julian “Wait guys I want to tell you something. He stopped going and came back. I cleared my throat and said “Uh… thanks for standing up for me out there it means a lot for me really thanks” “You don’t have to thank me man I’ll always do that for you. It’s one of the responsibilities of being a friend.” “Yeah me too” said Billie “Me three” said Finn. After that all of us went back to our seats.

    I was greeted by a hug from Alessia “Dude you are really patient you know that if it was me I would’ve killed her on stage.” “yeah well you get used to this kinda stuff after a while.” She hugged me tighter and I hugged her back. I sat back on my seat and continued to watch the show. After 3 hours of performances, speeches and awards then show ended. I got up and started stretching “God that was long” I said. We started heading out to the carpet again. Billie and Finn won the first 4 categories so they went to take their awards back and the classic photos and interviews had to follow. We decided to meet up at the after party later on and we all headed our ways. I went with the guys in the limo to the after party
