Chapter 29

Last week of july

My alarm goes off. I shut it off and get up from bed. Today is the day I fly out to Berlin to surprise Billie. Finneas and Claudia planned everything out and we all decided to surprise her during the end of her show. Today is the last show and then everyone gets to stay in any part of Europe to just relax and chill.

It's around 2 in the morning right now, meaning it's 11 AM in Berlin. The flight is 14 hours alone and the drive from the airport to the hotel they're staying at is an hour away. Finneas booked me a first class seat when I insisted for coach.

I walk into my bathroom and turn on the shower and while that heats up, I start to brush my teeth.

I get dressed into black nike sweatpants with a neon green nike hoodie, paired with black forces. I grab my bag that I packed before I went to sleep and also my phone and beats. My airpods are packed into my bag.

I quietly open my door and shut off my LED lights that I installed. I go downstairs very slowly to not wake anyone up. I get downstairs and when I turn to walk to the kitchen, I see Olivia and Spencer sitting by the pool outside, both with waters in their hands. I go the fridge and open it, taking out a fruit salad and milk. I place the fruit salad down. I take the milk and head over to the cabinet with all the coffee stuff in it. I take some coffee and sugar and place it in a cup with the milk and I take a whisk and start mixing it. The end result being whipped coffee. I sit down and open Instagram while I eat.

I sit down on the plane and sigh.

In 14 hours, I get to see my baby.

Billie's POV

"Bil, come on. You have an interview in 45 minutes," mom nagged me. I miss Emilie and I don't get to see her for another week or so. It's definitely been hard this leg of the tour. My depression being at it's worst it's ever been.

I get up from the hotel bed and walk over to my suitcase and get out clothes for me to wear.

"Hi, I'm Jack. I'll be your interviewer," a young guy says, coming up to me. I shake his hand and sit down.

"Welcome back everyone. We've seen your requests and pleading for a Billie Eilish interview so here we are. Billie, how are you?" Jack says, looking back at me.

"I'm great! How are you?"

"I'm well. Now, we have some questions from fans," Jack says. I nod and he reads the first question.

"What is your relationship with Emilie Stone?"

"Emilie? She's fucking great. That girl is my rock. She's supported me since I've met her. When I was first coming to realization of my sexuality, she really helped me through it. Couldn't have done it without her," I reply. Just the thought of Emilie makes me so happy.

Someone's in loveeeee.

Shut the fuck up. I'm not in "love".

You love herrrrrr don't you?

Even if I did, she probably doesn't even feel the same way.

You clueless soul.

Huh?

"Billie? Billie? Are you ok?" Jack worries.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Sorry. What's the question?" I ask.

"Are you dating anyone or talking to anyone?" He says, reading off a piece of paper.

I freeze up. Emilie and I are taking things slow. I mean I just came out like last month.
