We got to billies house. When I stepped inside, I got a weird feeling rushing through my entire body.
"So.. no parents?" I question.
Really weird considering I saw them on multiple photos.
Maybe something happened over the years.
"Don't mention it" she demanded
We headed up to her room, and I noticed the classic red lights noticed in almost every live of hers.
I was pretty tired.
She detected it quickly,
"You look tired. she says before laying me down on her bed. "You can nap on my bed. Me and Zoe are gonna get something okay?"
Her and Zoe walk in the kitchen. I seemed not as tired as soon as they left, but tried to force myself to sleep because it had been a long ass day.
After 5 minutes of tossing and turning, Billie and Zoe entered the room again. I pretended to be sleep.
I decided to peak through the door. They sat on the floor with candles. And started reading a book. It was labelled 17.
Something about it looked familiar..
Maybe something my dad had. I mean wouldn't it make sense? He collected all types of crazy ass books.
Billie continued to read the next page.
"Although you have travelled to here to there many times, do not be afraid of uncertainty"
"This might just be pointless" she says as she closed the book.
"No. Это не так. в конце наших коротких промежутков кровавой печали. эта книга, которая в ваших руках, доказывает, что смерть не является наказанием. такого нет"
I didn't understand a word Zoe said..
I only knew a bit of Russian.
"They are watching, gizem is watching" billie says looking around. "Shit has to work especially with her here"
Me? The fuck are they even talking about.
They take 5 pills which looked to be xans. What?
I headed back to sleep. All I remember is them starting a ritual, and covering everything. The windows, mirror, and them walking to the bathroom chanting "death is just the beginning" 17 times.
What is with the number 17.
I had woken up again a couple hours after that. I figured they would've headed to bed, but i looked over and Billie wasn't beside me.
They were still chanting the same exact thing. What the fuck is going on. Everything was covered up, it looked like billies room but I wasn't that fucking stupid. Something was off.
They walked out the bathroom still chanting. they had black eyes. Just as I did at work. I started to think to myself, Is there something i'm not seeing here?
The only thing is it wasn't Zoe. Zoe, No, She was gone. It was someone else. They looked familiar. I couldn't tell who it was though. A girl, brown hair, Middle aged.. Mom?
I started to walk out the room but slowly. But I'd returned to the room again. It felt I would wake up twice, three, seven times. More.
Before I knew it i fell
fuck that hurt.
I opened my eyes to being shaken by Billie
She stood over me saying "wake up, wake up, it's okay ilo, it's all in your head, just wake up. I'm okay, your okay. they made me worthy"
Worthy? What?
Those words turned to a whole new language, she kept repeating over and over as I got the urge to scream the words "wake up 17" and then woke up again.
It was real this time though.
It was morning. Billie was beside me. But Zoe wasn't here.
Billie stared at me concerned as shit.
"You moaned multiple times in your sleep. Even screamed a couple times, Thinking about me?" She giggled.
I didn't even think anything of it. But I had to ask her,
"Billie who is gizem?" I asked nervously
"It's not who. it's what" she snapped. "I know what you saw"
As if it had just been sitting there the entire time she pulled a gun out of her waist band.
I was confused, scared even. My heart dropped.
I managed to peek at my phone. A year had passed.
She was holding a gun to my head. "If you mention anything you saw to anyone, I'll fucking kill you"
Shakily I say, "Billie.. it was October.. why is my phone saying March?"
"Gizem. He's giving us a chance" She stares directly in my eyes. As scared as I was her eyes were so beautiful.
I push the gun from my head quickly and hop on top of her, I pinch her in her arm hard as shit.
"Billie WAKE THE FUCK UP"
She snaps back to her regular conscience. "Good morning ilo" she says.
This bitch is crazy.
For the sake of my life I acted normal "Good morning.. billie.. why is my phone saying 2020?"
"What do you mean? we've been dating for a year, we have lived here in LA for a while now too"
"No.. no we just met i swear. You were at the arcade.. remember the event.. it was Halloween day. We had a sleepover with Zoe.. I- i kept dreaming or something you and Zoe did a weird thing I don't know it-"
"I really don't know what your talking about" She laughs.
Was this bitch manipulating me?
"Come on, you need coffee or some shit"
