Can We Pretend // Billie Eilish

chapter three

Afterwards I left to go home and ended up taking a nap. But what was meant to be a nap lead to me sleeping until 12 in the afternoon on the next day, only to be awoken by the ringing coming from my phone. 

With a groan I rolled over in my fluffy blanket and grabbed my phone from the bedside table. I saw the name 'Claudia' flashing across the top so I accepted the call. 

"Hi," I said. Claudia and I had met through Billie, since they were close and hung out at Billie's house sometimes, which coincidentally led to her meeting me just as I was about to go home one day. "How are you?"

"Alvina, how are you not freaking out right now?" She asked hurriedly. 

I sat up. "What do you mean? Why would I freak out."

"I-" she said but then stopped. I heard her take a deep breath. "Look, I'm gonna assume you haven't seen anything yet. I'll send you the link to the article but Finn and I are going over to Billie's later and you should probably come too." And with that she hung up. 

My eyes furrowed in confusion at the abruptness of the call. I went to my messages and saw that she had sent a link. I opened it and gasped.

Billie Eilish is Gay?

published at 11 a.m. on TMZ

Could the famous singer be secretly gay? We have obtained exclusive pictures and evidence that Billie Eilish brought home a girl who left hours later - looking frazzled with messy hair and flushed skin. 

Moreover, when Eilish answered the door to accept a delivery, her shirt was inside out!

It all started when our photographers spotted Eilish's car near St. Rose hospital on its way to her house. There we saw both women get out and head inside, carrying food from In-n-Out. It was hours before anyone emerged, and from our guesses, this was more than just a friendly hang out. 

But this raises the question - is Billie Eilish gay? Is she bisexual, or perhaps just experimenting? We are staying on top of this, expect more exclusive info right here on TMZ!

I scrolled in horror as I saw the pictures they had attached to the article. They had managed to take a picture of me entering her car in front of the hospital, a picture of us driving to her house, and even one of me leaving. They were right - when I was leaving I really did have messy hair and sweaty skin. At the time I hadn't even thought that someone could be following us, but on second thought that was dumb. Of course someone followed us. She's Billie Eilish. 

Going to Billie's contact, I send her a text letting her know that I was coming over. This was serious, and I wanted to talk to her before Claudia and Finneas got there. I have no idea how she's feeling right now. Is she angry? Disappointed at me for not being more careful? We had never talked about the possibility of something like this happening because frankly it had never even crossed my mind that it could happen. But now that it had I was starting to grasp the reality of what it could mean for Billie - and us. 

I got out of bed and got dressed, heading over to her house.

Once I pulled up to her apartment I got out of the car and headed in using the spare key Billie had given me. As I opened the door, I was met with Shark's barks. Immediately I closed the door behind me and bent down to pet him.

Shark hopped up and starting licking me, making me laugh. 

"What the fuck were you thinking Alvina?" Billie shouted, making me jump.
