When I woke up, Billie was lying next to me, her face facing away from mine. I could see her green roots and for a moment I felt happy, until I remembered the night before. I sat up and Billie woke up. She looked at me, and instantly looked away.
"Billie, what happened-"
"I'm sorry Kayla. I have to go. I have a meeting with management today." She wouldn't even look at me.
"Oh oka-" she picked up the clothes she was wearing yesterday from a pile on the floor and walked into the bathroom, shutting and locking the door behind her. I stayed lying in bed, and after a few minutes, Billie came out wearing the  day old clothes and left. She didn't even say goodbye. I went downstairs and made myself some toast. I was almost done when Finneas came into the kitchen.
"Kayla. Hi."
"Finneas? I thought you and Billie had a meeting?"
"What? We don't have a meeting for another two days. Why did you think we did?" He looked confused.
That bitch...
"Oh my god, Billie left and said she had a meeting with management. She couldn't even look at me."
He looked mad. "What the fuck? Why is she being like this?"
I shook my head and sat down, burying my face in my hands.
I finished off my toast as Maggie and Patrick came downstairs.
"Is Billie back?" Maggie asked as soon as she saw me.
"She was back, I saw her come through the window late last night. But this morning she said she had a meeting and left without saying goodbye. She couldn't even look at me."
"Oh my god.." Maggie sat down next to me and I squeezed her arm in comfort. I didn't really know what to say to her. After all it is kinda my fault.
"Where's Claudia?" I asked Finneas.
"Oh she has work today, she left earlier this morning."
I nodded.
We sat in silence for a minute or so and Maggie started trying to call Billie again. She didn't pick up.
"I swear to the lord, I am going to kill her." She said. In a different circumstance, I might have laughed.
"Kayla, do you wanna go on a walk?" Finneas asked me. I nodded, grateful he was trying to help me. We left the house and walked in silence for a bit.
"She really cares about you, you know." Finneas said to me suddenly.
I knew if I said anything, I would cry, so I didn't. I just squeezed his hand in appreciation. Finneas spent the whole day trying to distract me, he bought me ice cream, showed me how Billie and he record songs, and told me stupid jokes. At the end of the day I hugged him and Maggie and Patrick goodnight and I went upstairs. I sat on Billie's bed and i waited. I was done. Billie was hurting all of us and I wasn't gonna let her get her get away with it anymore. So when she came back I was going to confront her.
