Therefore I am Yours | Billie Eilish - Watty Awards 2022

5. CHANGES

Jordan POV

I close the door and step into the big house.

"Hello?!" I call out, wating for a response.

"Oh, Jordan! I didn't think I would still see you today. I thought you were staying somewhere for the night." My dad says, rushing to greet me.

"Well, hi."

"I am sorry, I couldn't pick you up. I totally forgot that I had another appointment for a surgery."
He looks disappointed in himself.

Well, he should be.

"It's okay. I got home." I say, trying to sound excited. Failing.

"Who brought you?" He asks me, both of us sitting down in the living room.

"Someone I met at the Airport. A girl, she is really nice. I think this time it's something serious. I mean, as a friend, of course." I say, confused if we are becoming friends or more. It doesn't feel like Billie is a friend.

"Do you like her?" My dad ask, sounding very mysterious.

"Yes? So far, I do a lot. She is very nice." I am not sure if I should tell him that it's Billie Eilish just yet.

"What's her name? You never make friends that fast."

"Billie. She was the one coming up to me. It was boring and she made this day a lot more fun." I say, getting caught up in a smirk.
"She also invited me to sit in first-class with her."

I really didn't want to get so specific about this but he is very persistent.

"In first-class?"
"Is she a celebrity or something." He laughs, not really believing himself.

"Well, yea-.." I studder.

Now I really gotta tell him.

"You are kidding, right?" He asks with wide-open eyes.
"What is her full name?"

"Billie Eilish. She's a singer. You have probably heard her songs before." I tell him, convinced, that he has heard 'Bad guy' somewhere on the radio.

"Wow. My daughter really managed to obtain a superstar."

"Anyways.. I'm tired. I will go to sleep now. See you tomorrow." I say.

I just want to escape this conversation. I don't want to sound like I am only friends with her because of her fame. I am not.

I walk up the stairs to my room, that I haven't seen for a long time. I have been at my grandparents' house for almost all of December. My mom lives near them too. She went back to Canada after the divorce but I had to come back to LA for education. I'm thinking about going to university.

*TIME SKIP TO THE NEXT MORNING*

I get up, longing for food. The last thing I ate was that small-ass plane-meal. As I enter the kitchen, I see a woman, that I don't know.

"Oh, Jordan. You're up. I want you to mee someone." My dad says, standing up from the kitchen table.

The woman now standing up as well.
I walk over to them looking very confused.
