[3rd POV]
After the concert had ended, Haley and Billie had both left the stage. Which, had given the family of Haley the time to find her, and follow her, or at least confront her over hiding this entire thing.
Claire was on a mission, and wanted to confront her daughter for acting so recklessly about her future, seemingly letting it all ride on being some singer. While Phil was barely hiding just how proud he felt of his daughter.
While Mitchell and Cam were still getting over the fact that not only was Haley HD, she also knew Billie Eilish. AND they were actually there for the reveal of Billie's face!
The reveal of what she looked like was now all over the internet, and was everywhere. Alongside it came a lot of new information about her, like the fact that she was born and raised in LA, was a single child, and that she created all of her songs by herself.
Not with any help from anybody else, besides the feature with HD. And according to sources, it seemed that she also wrote all the songs that HD sings, meaning she was incredibly talented in singing, writing the songs, and everything else.
Needless to say Cam and Mitchell were very excited to find out just how Haley knows the woman, and what they had been doing together over the past months.
Getting back into the car, Claire high tailed it out of the concert venue's parking lot, spotting Haley's car driving off in the distance. And unlike the other concert watchers, she knew that that was Haley's car.
"Claire, are you sure we should be following her? This feels like a huge invasion of privacy" Mitchell said, as Cam nodded along with his boyfriend's words.
"Yeah, maybe we could just wait until she gets back home and then bring it up? Feels wrong to just jump out and surprise her" Cam added.
"Usually I'd disagree with them, but in this case...it looks like the kid isn't doing anything crazy. And while I might not be the best at the whole "Father thing" even I can tell that following her like this is too much" Jay commented, having jumped into the car with them once he saw that they were going to follow Haley.
He was honestly curious, but he didn't want to get too involved. He knew better than to piss of a woman, especially one like Haley.
Phil stayed silent, which was...probably the smartest thing to do in this situation.
"I'm her mother, Mitch. I can follow her around as much as I want. Especially when she is doing something without me knowing!" Claire responded harshly, following Haley's car from a distance.
The others in the car all glanced at one another awkwardly, before deciding to stay quiet.
It didn't take long before the group realized that Haley was driving to somewhere nice, somewhere pretty expensive. A large apartment building that was usually reserved for...well, rich people.
This only made them more confused, as she pulled into the parking garage, seemingly flashing a key card of some sort in order to get in.
"Well, looks like this is where we stop" Phil commented with an awkward smile, inwardly relieved that they wouldn't be following Haley anymore.
"Not on my watch!" Claire said, as she pulled into a parking spot close to the apartment complex.
The group could only watch her climb out of the car and begin to move towards the apartment building, wondering what the hell was even happening anymore.
__________________________
"Seriously, can we just go? This feels wrong" Cam commented, as they quietly walked through the halls of the apartment building, following distantly behind Haley from around the corners.
"Not to mention illegal. Because last I checked, bribing someone is not okay. And threatening them with bodily harm is definitely illegal" Mitch added, remembering his sister using her "Threatening" voice and giving the man that stopped them from entering a hundred dollars.
More like Jay's hundred dollars, but still.
"Too late to give up now. And shush, she's stopping!" Claire whisper yelled, a bit louder than them. So...her words didn't really make much sense.
The group all peaked around the corner silently, a potted plant in front of them covering them good enough that she couldn't see them. Which allowed them to watch silently as she stood in front of a door, a small smile on Haley's face.
"You can open the door now, you know. Nobodies around" Haley said, knowing that the person on the other end of the door could hear her. The family could only just barely hear her words, and all looked confused as the door began to click, before opening slowly.
They couldn't see who was on the other side of the door, but whoever it was made Haley blush, a small smile forming on her face as she leaned forward and pressed her lips against whoever was on the other side.
"Wha-I knew it!" Claire whispered, their eyes widening even more as Haley leapt up and into the arms of whoever was inside. Their arms cupping her butt as the door shut behind them.
"Claire, honey, don't do anything brash please" Phil said, as Claire began to march towards the door of the apartment that Haley had entered.
"I'm not being brash, Phil! She's hooking up with some random guy! Not only that, but she has been hiding an entire music career from us! And I'm not going to wait to find out any more secrets that she might be holding back!" Claire said with a glare at her husband, her voice raising as she walked to the door and began to pound her fist on it, harshly knocking on the door.
The others in the group all sighed as they stood next to her. Wondering what they were about to see as they heard movement on the other side of the door, before it began to swing open, revealing Haley on the other end, her eyes widening upon seeing them.
"Wha-what are you guys doing here!?" Haley exclaimed wide eyed.
"Where is he? Where's the guy you're messing around with?" Claire said, marching into the apartment, Haley getting pushed to the side as she walked in.
"Haley, who was at the door?" A voice echoed, as Claire looked to the side, only to still when she saw who it was standing there. Haley looked down as Cam and Mitchell both breathed in deeply upon realizing what was happening.
"God damnit Claire" Jay muttered, as standing there was...
Billie Eilish
Looking at the group that was now in her apartment, Billie looked at them slightly surprised, before glancing at her girlfriend who looked like she was about to cry. This caused a frown to form on Billie's face.
"Can I ask why you are in my apartment?" Billie asked calmly, glancing at them as Claire looked confused.
"Wha-what are you doing with my daughter?" Claire questioned.
"I don't have to answer that question, ma'am. Now get out of my apartment before I call security" Billie said as she saw the tears that were in her girlfriends eyes, a scowl forming on her face as Claire basically just outed her daughter against her will.
"No! You can't-" "I certainly can, I own this apartment building, ma'am" Billie cut her off, glaring at her sharply.
This was the truth. She had bought the building a while ago and was making quite a lot of money from the different people that were living in it. She had hired other people to handle the actual running of the building, and had similar buildings all across the state at this point.
As Claire began to argue with Billie who was growing increasingly angry at the woman in front of her, and the men in the room could only awkwardly stand there, Haley finally had enough.
Her tear filled face soon grew into that of anger as she heard her mother begin to raise her voice against Billie, borderline insulting her as Haley had enough.
"Enough! Stop arguing with her, mom!" Haley yelled, moving forwards in front of Billie.
"Wha-" "No! I am sick and tired of it! Billie didn't do anything wrong!" Haley cut her off, not letting her speak before continuing.
"She helped me! More than any of you ever have. How do you think I was able to sell out a concert? Because she helped me become what I am now! And thanks to her I don't need your money anymore, because I make more than you ever will!" Haley yelled, anger on her face.
"You think I did something wrong for all of it, you think Billie is some evil villain or something, but she's not! And I am sick of you thinking I am stupid just because I didn't do good in school! News flash mom, not everything is about grades in school!" Haley said with a scowl on her face, before continuing.
"And I won't let you talk like that to MY girlfriend!" Haley finished with an angry yell, the eyes of her family (Besides Mitchell and Cam who only sighed in sadness) widening in shock, none more so than Claire who looked like she had just been slapped or something.
And upon realizing what she had just said, Haley's face warped from anger into horror, and then into fear. And without even saying another word, as tears welled up in her eyes, she sprinted into the bedroom that she and Billie shared.
Watching her go, Billie's eyes darkened as she turned to Claire with a furious gaze.
"Get the fuck out of my apartment, now" Billie said, glaring angrily at the woman who could only flinch at the gaze.
Claire didn't utter a word as she was led out of the home by her father, who looked uncomfortable with this entire situation. While Phil, Cam, and Mitch all looked at her with apologetic expressions.
Watching them leave and the door shut behind them, Billie turned and began to walk towards her door with a soft sigh and one thought on her mind.
'...I hate drama'

That's the end of the chapter!
Nothing to say for the AN today, so...yeah. A few of the coming chapters are going to be a bit shorter, as the usual chapters for this fic are going to be around 1.3k words, so I'm just warning you beforehand. If I made it too long, it'd be hard for my to write that every other day. So it's basically an exchange. Shorter chapters, but consistent uploads.
Anyways, have a good day!
