roommates || billie eilish

•eight•

i went down to the kitchen after i posted just so i could have pop tarts

i truly have no plans today, so i'm going to try to start organizing my stuff for college, so i don't have as much to do later

i noticed that we didn't really have anything for dinner, so i decided to head to the grocery store just so my mom didn't have to worry about that later

***

where the fuck do they keep the bread, damn it

well apparently it's in an aisle where half of it is frozen things

they should really consider putting that near the bakery or something because that shit makes no sense to me

i grabbed everything that i thought we would need which was:

- broccoli
- bread
- cheese
- marshmallow fluff
- ice cream
- potatoes
- bob evan's mac and cheese
- reheat pizza

i paid for everything and then loaded it in the car to take home

***

i put everything where it needed to be in the kitchen, either the freezer, fridge, or pantry

i was bored out of my mind already, so i texted billie to see what she's doing

***

billie (roommate)

hey bitch
wyd

nothing why
shit no i know what you want
read: 11:17 am

incoming facetime from
billie (roommate)

"heyy" i greeted

"hey ugly"

i clutched my heart and fell off of my stool at the breakfast counter

"dramatic ass"

"shut the fuck up"

"whatever" she said as we both laughed

we sat in content silence for a little while until she finally spoke up

"bitch i'm bored"

"yeah i get it. i actually have nothing to do this whole week so can we just facetime everyday"

"i mean, yeah i'm down" she waited a couple seconds and then continued "wait no. i have a better idea"

"okay and what would that be?"

"where do you live?"

"chicago, you?"

"los angeles. but i'm booking a flight right now"

"okay whatever" i said trying to hide my excitement

"MOM" i called out

"yes sweetie?"

"billie's coming flying in for the week"

"okay, when?"

"billie, when will you be here?"

"there's a flight available in three hours, so i'm gonna pack now and then i'll see you in chicago in a couple hours. can you be there by 4 pm to pick me up?"

"sure"

"she said she'll be here around 4 pm today" i told my mom who was now standing at the top of the steps so i didn't have to break my vocal chords trying to make sure she heard me

***

it's 3:27 pm and i'm just about ready to go pick billie up

i quick ran upstairs and fixed up my hair and makeup a little bit and put on some perfume

i turned on my playlist in the car and headed to the airport

on the way there, i caught myself constantly thinking about billie

we've grown so close over facetime in such a short amount of time, but what if she doesn't like me in person and we don't get along

i let myself keep doubting until i had completely ignored every thought

i pulled into a spot at the airport after about 20 minutes of driving

***

billie (roommate)

i'm at the airport
lmk when you land
and what gate you're at

***

since i knew that her phone was probably on airplane mode, i waited for her to call me, which she did about 10 minutes later

"hii i landed" she said as soon as i answered

"okay i'm waiting in the car right now. where do you want to meet?"

"how about at baggage?" she asked

"okay i'm headed in now" i said as i hung up

i grabbed my phone and wallet and slowly made my way to baggage claim

i got a text from her while i was on there saying she had to go to the bathroom, so she would be a couple minutes longer

soon, i saw a tall girl wearing a black hoodie walk into the room, looking around

i'm pretty sure that's her

billie's pov:

i see arya standing there by the door at baggage. i linked eyes with her after a moment, we both started running towards each other. when she got to me, she jumped up into a huge hug that lasted for two whole minutes. she finally got down and i whispered to her while still in a normal hug

"glad to see that we're feeling the same way about each other now. i was nervous that we didn't click and i was just imagining everything"

"nah bitch i literally love you"

she pulled away from the hug instantly and covered her mouth

"i'm so sorry. i di-"

"stop. i love you" i said, not wanting her to feel bad for saying that. plus, i meant it anyways

___

soo they met a little earlier than i bet y'all were expecting

this book is hella flopping but i'm gonna pull through anyways and hope for the best

i love you
