"Are you gonna sue me? I'm living in my van that don't run half the time. Can't lose much more." She was quite then she wiped her eyes. "Don't do that."

"What? Have feelings? Just because you don't doesn't mean I don't." She pulled her sweater around herself tighter.

"Go fuck yourself Billie." I said quiet and slowly.

"Maybe you want to and that's what's fucking wrong. You got enough when we were together don't pretend you can't get it now."

"Where did this me cheating narrative come from Billie? I would love to know honestly." A knock behind me startled me. I turned and saw Dylan holding up a mug of tea. I rolled my eyes and reached out my hand. "Thanks Dyl."

"See." Billie looked at me with red eyes puffy lips- puffer then normal. Seeing her cry made me feel ways only she'd make me feel and I hated it. "Billie not everyone fucks there friends." I snapped at her and she kept crying. "Just because I'm the only person who never cheated on you doesn't mean you can treat me like I did." I took a sip of the tea. "Billie I can't take it back now. It's out there, people have seen it." I whispered.

"I know." She whispered back.

"Listen once I get the money I'll be gone from la and no one will ever catch us actually with each other. Just let me release it."

"I can't. I can't let you do that... not with the interview I just did."

"What interview?" I asked.

"I... I said was attracted to woman but I was just intimidated. This song is going to make people think we were together-"

"We were Billie. And I'm sorry about that, I'm sorry I made you comfortable and I'm sorry I fucking love you." I said.

"You said said love me."

"Loved- or... no fuck it. I love you. And I'm sorry." I ended the call and started to cry. She started to call me again but I declined. She tired again and I answered. "What!"

"If you post that song I can't control what my legal team will do." She said.

"I need this Billie."

"Just, post another song. I can write you som-"

"Ok now I can't write my own music."

"That's not what I meant... I just... you sighed an NDA."

"I haven't told anyone."

"You used a lyric from my fucking song. How stupid do you think people are?" She asked.

"I can't handle this." I rolled my eyes again.

"You can't handle it?" She laughed.

"You're a cunt."

"At least I didn't out you!"

"Out you. Get over it, you just said you fucking outed yourself!"

"I can't have people know I fucked you!" Billie said angrily.

"I need to get out of LA Billie."

"If you want to do music how do you plan on leaving LA?"

"I'm going to kawi."

"Seriously." She rolled her eyes.

"That's the only place I have happy memories."

"Ya well same." No one spoke. I don't know how long for. "Come see me before you leave."

"Why would I do that?"

"Come and see me before you leave H-Flair."

"I don't know. I'm going."

"You're mean." She said quietly.

"I didn't think anyone one would ever see it."

"You don't have to treat me like this."

"You didn't have to treat me like that." I replied. "I never cheated Billie. We both know that."

"He said you did."

"He? He fucking who? Billie I'm gay. I'm a lesbian."

"I..."

"Did fucking Brandon say I sle-" I couldn't finish the sentence. "And you... believe him." I was crying now. "I thought it was fucking Zo- oh my god." I ended the call and she knew better then to call back.

"Are you ok?" Dylan asked.

"I have an appointment at the garage in the morning can I get a loan?"

"Of course-"

"I'm going away for a could weeks."

"Where?"

"I'm going to pack." I grabbed my baskets to start packing them. 

"Wait flair, one second where are you going?" She followed me to the dryer.

"I don't know. I want snow before Hawaii so... I'm not sure. I'll do another TikTok random location video, they do well." I can't have her on my tail, she can't know about this breakdown. She won't let me leave LA if she's knows I'm spiralling.

"How'd that call go?" 

"Good Dylan. You don't have to worry about me, I'm ok."

"So... can you tell me anything?"

"There's nothing to tell. We dated, she dumbed me, end of story."

"Can I hear the whole song?"

"It's not fully recorded. Last time my mic work it only got me the part I played."

"Ask people on TikTok to fund you."

"Haha." I said rolling my eyes. "I'll... I just need to get out of here." I sighed. "I going to start cleaning and smoke, clear my head."

"Ok..." she nodded.

"I'm going to clean it now and get it ready." She nodded again and I went to the kitchen grabbing some trash bags and cleaning supplies. I also grabbed my dab pen from the kitchen island as I went out the door.
