❝ don't you see me crying ❞

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────


Billie has been at home for three days now, and those three days were spent wondering what she could have done differently. Her thoughts were consumed by a certain blonde haired girl.

On tour she had the music, the fans, and the exhausting flights to stop her mind from wondering to the light haired girl. But now that she was finished with touring and sharing her music with the rest of the world, her mind was clear to think about the things she had been putting off.

The things that she could have prevented if only she had faced her fears head on instead of blaming them on someone else. She should have never of done that because now she was left with the second most shittiest emotion; heartbreak.

With everyone out of the house after coming home from the tour, left Billie to cry out what she was feeling completely alone, and alone was one of the most dangerous things but not when you had musical instruments at your disposal.

Billie sat alone on the bench placed in front of the piano that sat in her living room. Her nimble fingers sitting the keys to form the melody that came into mind when she thought about the lyrics she had written earlier.

"please try to be patient and know that i'm still learning," her angelic voice hung onto the last word of the song before it sped up again. "i'm sorry that you have to see the strength inside me burning."

Billie's voice cracked while she sung with the emotion she was feeling. She always had the mystery of not knowing which one of her songs were purely apart of something she was going through, or one of someone else but this song was one she was going through.

Billie took a breath while a tear escaped from her eye and rolled onto her cheek before continuing on with the song. "But where are you my angel now? Don't you see me crying."

Unknown to the silver-haired girl, a figure had been standing behind her while her fingers hit the right keys, and her mind was focused on the melody that was still playing in her brain.

"i know that you can't do it all but you can't say I'm not trying," her voice strained while she tried to keep her emotions in to finish the song, but it seemed like the person behind her had other ideas.

"That's a beautiful song, Bil." A voice she knew all too well called out to her from the silence, and Billie felt herself jump slightly from surprise.

"I didn't know you were there, Finn." Billie responded as she tried her spilled tears with her black sweatshirt she put on this morning.

  She did not want her brother to know she was crying, but Billie was not very good at hiding anything too long from her brother, who spun her around to look at her face with concern in his eyes.
