Perfect Timing ; Billie Eilish x OC

best friends

After getting her Taco Bell and practically buckling it into her front seat, she made her way to the Hilton San Diego and parked her car in the parking garage. She unloaded her bags and went into the building where they checked her into her room. Nova followed them down a hallway and into her room where she thanked them and began to settle in.

She sat on the bed, flipping through the tv to find something to watch. She ended up just leaving it on American dad and dug into her Taco Bell. For a girl so small, she could really pack away food. Her appetite was always really big and she constantly thought about eating. As she ate, her phone went off, a message flashing onto the screen.

It was from Brett, her best friend. He was a year older than her, and very gay. They had been friends for years. Since like 5th grade when Nova saw someone bullying him and she punched the kid to make him stop. Ever since then, they were pretty much inseparable.

From: BBY
WHAT DOES YOUR INSTA POST MEAN?? Where are you!?

Nova giggled at the urgency of his text and quickly swiped her greasy finger tips across her phone screen writing a reply.

Come to the Hilton San Diego and call me once your here. I'll explain everything

She hit send and then decide that she might as well unpack since she was going to be here for a while. For the next forty five minutes, she unpacked her suitcases and decorated her room a bit to make it more like home. She had picture frames of her and Brett up, a few books on her night stand. She had her make up set up in the bathroom. Her clothes in the drawers. And her lap top and chargers laid on her bed with her special fuzzy blanket.

Her phone went off again and she read the message quickly. Brett was at the front desk waiting. She pulled on her toms and grabbed her room key before making her way down to him.

As she turned a corner and entered the lobby, her friends voice echoed through the room. "Baby girrrrrrl!!!!" He yelled, running and pretending to jump into her arms.

Nova laughed, hugging her friend. "Hey, lets get back to the room. I'll explain everything." He took her by the hand and they walked together to her room. Brett was handsome, and super tall. He had dark brown hair and olive skin, his eyes always sparkled a green/brown color that hid under his thick lashes. He was very openly gay, but they had kissed in the past. When it happened, all they could do was giggle because it felt weird for them. They weren't even sure why they did it, but it definitely helped clear up any confusion on his sexuality.

Once they were in the room, Nova plopped on her bed and patted the mattress beside her. Brett laid next to her and looked at her. "So what happened?"

Nova sighed. "Well, my parents found out I kissed a girl the other night at the party and when I told them that I was interested in girls, they freaked out with their holy unholy shit. We fought for hours and eventually he kicked me out." She paused for a second, taking a deep breath. "Mom didn't say anything. She just let him scream at me and call me a whore. So I packed my bags and left." She said matter of factly.

Brett gasped. "Wow! What an asshole." Brett never did like her family, considering they were best friends but he couldn't step foot into her families home. They did not welcome him there and made it very clear. "So... what's your plan?" He asked, rolling into his side and looking at her.

Nova shrugged. "I probably have enough money to stay here for a week. And then I'll need to do something else. I need to find a job so I can get into my own place." She said, sighing and looking over at her friend. Brett lived in his own place but it was a bachelor apartment. You know, the ones with the bed in the living room and you can reach your fridge from your bed. So there was no way she could stay with him.

Brett played with her blonde hair. "We'll figure it out BBY. We'll get you a job and a place to stay, don't worry. I'll be here for you always." He said with a smile.

"Thanks Brett, that means more than you know." She kissed his cheek and gave him a hug.

For the rest of the night, the two watched horror movies on her lap top and tried to make plans for their future.

Nova hated not having a good plan, but she'd have to accept that fate would step in and take her where she needed to go. And boy was she right.
