Billie rises fast inside an unforgiving industry, her life expanding until there is no space left to be private. Fame does not save her. Every feeling is louder, everything more visible, every moment lived under watch. She learns how to perform strength while carrying a darkness she refuses to name, terrified that if she lets it surface, it will consume her. The world keeps asking for more of her, even as she is quietly unraveling. Nat remains behind, rooted in a place that never opens for her. Stripped of choice and opportunity, she clings to her creativity as proof that she still exists. Her life is small, quiet, and heavy. She survives by disappearing inward, haunted by the sense that something essential has already passed her by. Around her neck hangs a key, a symbol of what she has always believed she was waiting for, though she no longer knows what door it belongs to, or if it will ever open. Years later, when their lives intersect again, love does not arrive as salvation. It arrives as tension. As longing. As fear. Their connection becomes both refuge and risk, forcing them to confront the parts of themselves they've learned to hide. Together, there is desire, guilt, shame, and the terrifying realization that loving someone does not mean you know how to stay alive for them.

What's scarier: walking 40 kilometers through the desert, rubbing your feet raw, or staying where you get killed every day? For 17-year-old Leah from Gary, the answer was obvious. She left. On foot. Without money. Without a ticket. To where Billie Eilish is performing today. She didn't plan to survive. She planned to simply be - where her pain becomes music, not a reason to be beaten. But Billie saw her. Backstage, covered in blood and dirt - she saw not a fan, but a reflection of her own brokenness. And she took her with her. To Australia. On tour. To her home. Now Leah is learning to live where you can take food out of the fridge at night. And Billie is learning what they don't teach on stage: how not to break down while saving someone who is more precious than a career. Their story is about how two people piece each other back together. About burns that aren't just from frying pans. About a blue-eyed pit bull who became redemption. And about an mp3 player that plays one song over and over again at one o'clock in the morning: "Man, am I the greatest..." The only question is, who is the greatest here? The one who sings about it on stage? Or the one who walked 40 kilometers just to be there?

some billie imagines, you can send me requests if you want. at the end of each chapter i will have a section where you can type out your requests

who am i? that's the question scarlett doesn't have an answer to. she's 16, and moving to LA, she's lonely, and she's looking for a box to fit in. scarlett has slept with boys-too early and with the wrong ones-but in the end, they left more emptiness than love. love. scarlett doesn't know much about love anyway. how could she, when the one person who should've loved her unconditionally, left immediately after she was born. and if that wasn't enough, her father lets her down. he decides that they should move from san francisco to live with his new girlfriend shortly before she graduates from high school. and with that, scarlett finds herself in a strange house with a "stepmother", little brothers and a shaggy dog. but then, billie appears: the neighbour girl with blue hair, her mesmerising eyes and infectious laugh. for the first time, scarlett has the feeling that her life could also be full of lightness - if only she dared... this is mostly written from scarlett's perspective! hope you like it :) this story may contain smut, so if this is triggering, i recommend not to read! lower case intended

"everywhere, everything i wanna love you til' were food for the worms to eat. til' our fingers decompose keep my hand in yours."

'but I need you.' I told Billie while tears were streaming down my face. 'well I'm not gay.' I saw her fidgeting with her rings, she only does that when's she's nervous, why is she nervous? Billie and I have been friends since birth. We grew up together, hung out with and without our moms, went to the same schools and played music together. I could tell her everything, expect for one thing I'm gay, and I've never been more in love with someone than I am with Billie, she just doesn't know that yet.

But as their careers took off and life got more complicated, distance grew between them. Still, no matter where they are in the world, their connection remains unshakable.

She couldn't explain it, but in the space between their words, a connection formed. Billie, enigmatic and untouchable, seemed to recognize something in her too, though their lives swiftly pulled them in separate directions. For Sloane, the memory of that night became a quiet obsession, a longing she couldn't quiet, a presence she couldn't forget.
