chapter eleven

Billie's P.O.V

Goodbye was playing as I waved to the screaming crowd. As much as I wanted to hug each and everyone of them, I knew that wasn't going to happen.
I wrapped my arms around my body, sending hugs throughout the stadium.

Waving one last time, I walked away from the stage and entered the green room. Grabbing my water bottle, I splashed the water on the crook of my neck before taking a gulp of the cold water. Soft pants left my lips as I ran my fingers through my hair, trying to calm down.

Finneas walked in, followed by the rest of my family and most of the crew members.

Everyone cheered and applauded, and I laughed before joining them.

As we all sat down, I grabbed my phone and immediately clicked on Willow's name.

Her call went straight to voicemail and I felt my heart sink. Letting out a sigh, I pulled up my messages and texted her instead.

baby

: THE SHOW'S OVERRRRR
: I tried calling u angel
Delivered 6:15p.m.

I set down my phone feeling upset.

"She's probably busy." Finneas said, reading my thoughts.

I hummed in response. Within the next ten minutes, we got ready to head back to our hotel rooms.

Claudia sat beside me on the ride back to our place, and we talked about how Willow and I had been managing our time apart.

"Her show's on the twelfth right?" Claudia asked and I nodded.

"And we've a show on the eleventh there, so that's fucking amazing." I responded, trying to hold a slight smile on my lips.

"And after then?" She asked and I shrugged.

"She has to stay for another day or two, but then I've a show in Italy." I sunk into my seat, realizing that even after Willow and I get to be together for a few days, I'd have to leave later.

"How're you guys dealing with all this?" She asked and I huffed in response, not being able to get the right words out.

"I don't fucking know dude, it's just like, tiring you know? We planned so much shit bout' calling every evening and texting, but nothing's working out. One of us is usually busy." I rested my head in my hands and closed my eyes, frustrated.

"It's okay," Claudia said, slowly rubbing my back and trying to comfort me, "I know you guys don't have time but at the end of the end, you love her and she still loves you. You don't have to talk every single day to keep that going." She continued calmly.

"Both of you always figure out your shit and I'm sure you'll figure out this too."

Willow's P.O.V

"We still have half the day to ourselves." I responded, as I got in the car with Quinn right behind.

I hadn't been able to talk to Billie for the most part; with my phone being turned off. I hadn't even realize the time go by as I checked my phone to see the time displayed. 6:45p.m.

"Fuck." I muttered as I opened up my call logs to see a couple of missed calls from Billie.

I clicked on her contact and placed the phone to my ear.

"Hey." She spoke softly, and she sounded upset.

"I'm so so sorry Bil, I wanted to call you but I didn't get the ti-"
