i woke up to a killer headache. i looked around the room to see the blinds closed, hiding the sunlight.

i looked down and saw myself in pajamas and my dress was hung up on my door.

there's no way i did this all by myself.

i turned and saw a sticky-note on top of my phone.

*you fell asleep in the car so i changed you and put you to bed. dw i didn't look at you like that or anything. text me when you wake up so i know you're okay ~ rebecca*

i made a slight smile and crumbled up the note, reaching for my phone.

i searched up her name in my contacts. but as i went to text her, last nights events started to flood back in.

this isn't some girl from the party. this is some girl from the party that i was making out with. i fucking blew smoke into her mouth.

i felt a wave of embarrassment wash over me. like i don't even know her. i don't know anything other than her name and that she's hot.

and she was a good distraction from billie. finally gave me something else to think about.

i sent her a text saying, 'hey, thanks for bringing me home'. and threw my phone back down.

luckily it was sunday, so i didn't have to go to school with this headache.

but i still had to deal with my mom..

she doesn't like when i get drunk or high because she's scared i'll act out and do something out of anger.

but it's not as bad as it used to be a year ago. so she should stop worrying about it.

i got up from my bed and brushed my teeth before walking down stairs. the smell of bacon hit my nose as i walked down stairs.

as i walked over to my mom, i tripped over something.

"what the fu-".

i was cut off by a golden brown puppy licking all over my face.

"mom- mom! whose dog is this?!" i yelled, gently pushing the dog off my lap and carrying it over to her.

"oh! i just adopted him. he looked like such a comfort dog, plus he's cute" my mom told me.

"so- you just impulsively adopted a dog? for comfort?... whose comfort?".

she looked at me with a blank expression then shrugged.

"yours".

"i don't need comfort. i'm fine. what the hell?".

"yeah sure whatever. but we're still keeping him. he's cute" my mom said, before placing a strawberry in her mouth.

sometimes she behaved like such a child.

"i have files to go through today so, watch him. he cant be in my office. oouu and pick a name for him. pick something cute" she said aloud as she walked towards her office door with a bowl of fruit.

my mom was a really good and known lawyer. i mean if it wasn't for her i'd probably be in juvenile detention for-

my thoughts were interrupted by my phone vibrating. i furrowed my eyebrows and looked at the messages.

they were from billie.

billieeilish
i'm coming over. i need to talk to you

i looked at her messages confused. for one, she's telling me she's coming over instead of asking. i could be half way across the country or something.

after thinking for a minute, i decided to just let her come. i mean she probably would've showed up anyways.

billieeilish
hey, i'm coming over. i need to talk to you

um, okay..

i replied to her, which resulted in me being left on seen. i don't know why i felt a tug on my heart from that but i did.

i picked back up the dog that was originally in my arms before. i had to admit he was adorable.

i walked over to the couch and placed him on my lap. i'm glad he wasn't one of those antsy dogs that act crazy or scared in a new environment. he was just chilling right now.

he tilted his head up to the ceiling and i looked in his eyes. they shined in the light, creating a moon shape in his eyes.

"moon" i mumbled under my breath. he seemed to perk up at that.

"moon. yeah, that's your name now" i said to him with a smile. he started licking the back of my hand, causing me to giggle.

i played around with him for a while, taking pictures with him every now and then. until i heard a knock on my door, causing moon to sit up.

i set him aside and went to open it. fixing my hair and clothes in the process. i opened the door and there stood billie; looking as fine as ever in a nude colored sweats and a white shirt. she had her hair down and an assortment of chains and rings.

honestly her attire made me melt. but i quickly pulled myself together as i saw her looking me up and down, discreetly bitting her bottom lip as she did so.

i wasn't wearing anything appealing. literally a lacy tank top that rose up to my belly button, showcasing my piercing, and some pajama pants that fit a little too snug around my ass.

i cleared my throat to grab her attention. "eyes up here".

she seemed stunned at my chose of words but chose not to say anything. i stepped aside to let her in, closing the door behind her.

she was walking towards the couch to sit but i stopped her and shook my head, pointing to my mom's office just down the hall.

she picked up on what i was saying and i pulled her towards my room. i heard little taps on the floor so i knew moon was following along. i picked him up as we got to the stairs and brought both him and billie into my room.

i picked up my led remote and put the color on blue. my room was really dark since i have blackout curtains.

i closed the door behind billie and sat down crisscross on my bed in front of her. she stood in front of me with her hands in her pockets.

she had an expression i couldn't read. almost as if she was nervous about something. the silence in the room was really building up my anxiety.

"well... you wanted to talk, so talk"
