"for the song of the year... the grammy goes to... bad guy by billie eilish!"
billie gasped, reaching a hand up to cover her mouth as everybody started clapping. finneas stood and pulled her into a hug. i stood up as well and wrapped my arms around when she was done hugging finneas.
"congrats, baby." i smiled, placing a quick kiss on her lips.
"thank you, cutie." she said as she walked with finneas up to the stage.
once they were up there, they handed billie the grammy and hugged them before making her way to the mic.
"why?" she started, earning a few laughs from the audience. "wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. oh my god, so many songs deserved this, i'm sorry. thank you so much. this is my first grammys, i never thought this would ever happen in my whole life. um, i grew up watching them, and this is my brother finneas, he's my bestfriend."
"i feel like i joke around a lot and never take anything seriously at these kinda things, but i genuinely want to say um, i'm so grateful, and i only want to say that i'm so grateful, and honored to be here amongst all of you. i love you to my core, i grew up watching all of you."
"um, thank you to my team, thank you to my mom, my dad. um, my bestfriend mateo for keeping me alive to this day. um, justin, danny, brandon, michelle, chelsea, spencer. and thank you to my girlfriend, alysia. i wouldn't be here without all of you."
i smiled widely, letting out a loud cheer. she turned to finneas. "you say something, please."
he stepped forward. "you know, this is a really, really big deal and we don't... i-i have no idea what to say. i didn't think we were gonna win this at all. i loved every song on this list. um, i want to thank my girlfriend, my bestfriends, our entire team. you know we just make music in a bedroom together, we still do that, and they let us do that, and i... i just uh... this is to all the kids making music in their bedroom today. you're gonna get one of these."
everybody cheered as they both stepped away from the mic, billie covering her mouth with her hands again as they made their way back to their seats.
-
"and the grammy for best new artist goes to... ready everybody? billie eilish!"
the audience started clapping and cheering again, and i laughed and clapped as billie jumped slightly. she stood up and hugged finneas, maggie, patrick, claudia, and me. she made her way up to the stage, thanking the people up there as they gave her her grammy.
she leaned over to the mic. "thank you! ai, ai, ai. dude. um, okay, i forgot to thank my touring team in the last one, so i want to thank you guys for helping me put on a show that i actually like. um, thank you to brian, and nicole, and um, everybody on my team."
"um, mainly i think the fans deserve everything. i feel like they uh, have not been talked about enough tonight, because they're the reason that any of us are here at all. so thank you to the fans." everybody began clapping again.
"um i know that- god, this is soo crazyyy. i know that um, all the other artist in this category, i love you guys all, you're amazing. you deserve this just as much as i do, and i know that your fans are hardcore and will fight for you guys, and they love you, and they're gonna talk shit about me for years cause of this. so i love all fandoms, thank you to the fans. you make this worth it, so thank you."
-
i watched on the screen as they were announcing the grammy winner for record of the year. "and the grammy... goes to... bad guy billie eilish!"
billie dropped her hands, taking in a breath of air. her and finneas walked up the stairs to the stage, thanking the people up there as they handed her the grammy. her and finneas leaned in at the same time, both saying "thank you" before walking back off the stage. i pouted as i realized that billie was about to cry.
-
"for album of the year... the grammy goes to... billie eilish when we all fall asleep, where do we go?"
billie threw her head back. "no!" she laughed, before standing up and hugging finneas. she turned to me and gave me a hug as well, going up to the stage after, finneas following her.
she accepted the grammy, then leaned to the mic. "ai. shhh. please, sit down. um, can i just say that i think that ariana deserves this? thank u, next has got me through some shit, and i think it deserves like, more than anything in the world. i love you so much. i'm not gonna waste your time, i'm really not. i love you, thank you for this."
finneas leaned forward. "thank you to the recording academy, um, thank you again to our team, our family, to the people who have supported us from the beginning. to me, it's, we didn't write a speech for this 'cause we didn't make this album to win a grammy, we didn't think it would win anything ever. um, we wrote a album about depression, suicidal thoughts, and climate change, and being the bad guy, whatever that means. and um, we stand up here confused and grateful."
billie leaned forward again. "thank you."
-
a while later, we had left the grammy's, changed clothes, and set off to the umg grammy after party.
billie's hand was holding mine across the center console of her car, our fingers interlaced tightly. "i'm so proud of you, but i wanted to hit you every time you said that you didn't deserve the award, because you most definitely do."
she laughed as she came to a red light, turning to face me. "but i don't! there were so many other people there tonight that deserved them way more than i do!"
"billie, i've seen how hard you've worked to get to where you are today. you deserve everything you got today."
she leaned over and placed a soft kiss to my lips. "thank you, angel."
"you're welcome, bubbie."
about fifteen minutes later, we were pulling into a parking spot. we got out of her car and walked into the building hand in hand. once we made it in, people immediately noticed, and came over to congratulate billie.
my eyes widened when i saw brendan, tyler, and dahlia. i quickly made my way over to them and crashed into them, wrapping my arms around them.
"i thought you said you couldn't make it?" i questioned once i pulled away.
"you really thought that we were gonna miss this?" tyler asked with a laugh.
billie approached us, giving the twins and dahlia a hug as well. "did you know about this?" i asked, referring to the ty, brendan, and dahlia being here.
"i may have pulled a few strings." she shrugged, a faux innocent smile played on her lips.
"well thank you." i smiled.
"no problem. now let's party!"
-
a while later, i had a blohsh beanie on, along with almost everybody else at the party. i was next to the twins, dahlia, and mateo as we watched billie walk to the microphone stand, gathering everybody's attention.
"okay, so i know i've said this a lot tonight, but i truly mean it when i say thank you. tonight wouldn't have been possible without all the amazing people in this room. a big thank you to my big brother finneas. i owe that man my entire career. thank you for putting up with my stubborn ass and just being my bestfriend."
"thank you to my parents. thank you for just letting me have the freedom to do what i wanted and when i wanted. thank you to my bestfriend mateo. thanks for always making me laugh when i needed it. thank you to my team for letting me express my creativity and my ideas in my own way."
"and last, but certainly not least, thank you to my girlfriend alysia. come here, baby." she said, waving me over.
i laughed as dahlia pushed me towards billie. i walked over to her and she took one of my hands in her's. "thank you for sticking by my side for the past two and a half years. thank you for giving me so many fun memories. thank you for being my cuddle buddy. thank you for helping me move forward when i really didn't want to."
my eyebrows furrowed as she started digging in her pocket, but my eyes widened as she got down on one knee.
"the day i first texted you is a day that i still think back on. though the conversation was short, you still managed to grab my attention, which is why i texted you the next morning," a few people in the room laughed. "one of my favorite memories is when we met in real life for the first time. we were both so excited, but the only thing i could think about is how beautiful you looked."
"i'm not going to sit here and go on a long speech about all of my favorite memories of us, which would take days, so i'm just going to keep it simple. will you marry me, angel?"
by now, my hands were covering my mouth as a few tears streamed down my face. unable to form words, i nodded, watching as a large smile spread across her face. she took the ring out of the box and i held my left hand out, feeling more tears fall as she slid the ring onto my ring finger.
she stood up, placed a hand on my cheek and the other on my waist as she pulled me in for a kiss. i wrapped my arms around her neck, pulling her closer to me. everybody in the room cheered loudly as we kissed.
after what seemed like forever, billie pulled away, but barely. "stop crying, baby." she mumbled, her thumb reaching up to wipe away a few tears, though she clearly had tears threatening to spill.
"sorry, i can't help it, i'm just really really happy right now." i said, laughing a bit.
"me too, cutie. me too." she whispered before connecting our lips once more.
we pulled away a few long minutes later.
"i love you forever, alysia."
"i love you forever, billie."

first off, i just want to say thank you to everybody whose read this and supported it. it really means a lot to me. all of you are so sweet and amazing and just ð¥ºð¥º
i've cried (happy tears of course) a lot over this book because i'm a stupid softie who cries when i'm happy. i didn't expect anybody to read this at all, but here we are five months later with 200k reads. that's like... a lot.
THANK YOU FOR THAT BY THE WAY, I LOVE YOU GUYS
i wish this book could've gone on longer, but i've gotten worn out on writing chapters for it. i started writing it on december 23rd of 2019. almost 6 months ago. but not only that, i feel as though it was starting to get boring, so if i would've continued it, everybody would've just got bored of it and like... deleted it from their library or something ð
also sorry for update being so late, i really wanted to make it perfect ð¥ºðð and i don't know if that's the order that billie won her grammys, but i searched for like thirty minutes and couldn't find the specific order anywhere. also ik that billie won five grammys, but i searched for a reaction to her getting the pop vocal album grammy, and once again couldn't find anything :/
insert shameless self promotion here:
i have other books though that i'm going to continue to write! my book addiction has twelve chapters out right now and it's literally my favorite thing that i've ever written. i try to update it every three or so days.
i also just published the sequel to my other book want. it's called need and the cast list as well as chapter one is out right now. you should like... read it.
again, thank you for reading this, supporting it, and loving it just as much as i do. i love you i love you i love you <3
