[3rd POV]
It was the next day, and Haley had still not returned back to the Dunphy home. Claire and Phil were getting increasingly worried the longer it got into the day. And her brother and sister were also growing worried about what was happening with Haley.
Claire and Phil had not said a word to Luke or Alex about what happened with Haley, and the two were trying to find it out on their own. Mostly through sneaking around and trying to listen in on their conversations.
But considering they had their uncle Mitchell, his boyfriend, and even their grandpa over, that meant that something big was happening involving Haley. Something that was important enough that the entire adult part of the family had to gather for it.
That just increased their worries. As while yes, they messed around with their sister, she was still their sister, and they still loved her.
It all came to a head when the two were in the living room, waiting for their parents. They had been told not to turn on the news...for some reason. That had caused some confusion on Alex's part, making her wonder what could have happened to Haley that would be part of the news.
Her heart dropped when she first heard it, as usually when someone is on the news...it's not a good thing.
That is what she thought at the moment at least, but it all changed when the turned to the news channel as the adults were away in another room. Their eyes wide as they both watched their own sister dance and sing on a stage in front of thousands, the largest artist on the planet up there with her.
"Whoa...I didn't know Haley could sing!" Luke said in awe, staring at the tv screen.
"Haley...she's HD?" Alex muttered to herself, embarrassment beginning to form.
HD was her favorite pop artist by a long shot. She regularly listened to her music when she was doing her homework, and loved to listen to it when in the car going to school.
And the same HD that she loved the music of, was her sister.
Talk about awkward.

"Alright, I know that my sister is this super big artist now. But like...what about it is so bad? Cause mom and dad were acting like she died or something" Luke said to...something.
"Honestly I just hope this means I can meet Billie Eilish" Luke said with a grin on his face, not outwardly speaking it, but it was pretty clear that he had a huge crush on the woman.
Oh he'd be regretting these thoughts pretty soon.

"...So...if she's HD does this mean that we're like super rich now?" Luke asked, deciding it was an important question. Since all the singers he knew about were filthy rich, meaning Haley should be like...very wealthy now.
At least that's what he assumed.
"Haley's rich, Luke, not us. None of that money would go to Mom or Dad. And even then, we don't know for sure if she's rich or not. She could just have a bit more than normal" Alex responded, it was a flimsy excuse, as she knew that HD had been blowing up recently, so it was almost guaranteed that her sister was now the wealthiest person in the family.
If she wasn't already, she would definitely be in the future.
As the two sat there watching the tv, absorbed into the headlines that were talking about her sister and how she was HD, they heard the doorbell ding. Alex glanced at her brother who ignored her, before grumbling and getting to her feet and walking over to the door before opening it.
Only for her eyes to widen.
"Are you going to let us in?" The figure on the other side asked, and this was...
Haley.
Standing slightly behind her was Billie Eilish herself, her long sleeves and baggy clothes on as they always were. She wore clothes for comfort, not to show off. Whereas her girlfriend liked to mix the two, wearing comfortable outfits that looked good.
"U-Uh-" "Well dork, you just gonna stand there or..." Haley said to her sister as Alex glared and moved out of the way.
Hearing the voice of his sister, Luke looked up surprised, only for his eyes to widen and his jaw to drop as he saw who was standing with her, as they both walked into the home.
"Whoa, your Billie Eilish!" Luke exclaimed with wide eyes as Billie looked over to him, amusement on her face while Haley sighed.
"Don't bug her please, Luke. This is already going to be annoying enough, you two harassing her for a signature will only make it worse" Haley said, as Alex glanced at her sister, noticing that she was talking and acting quite different compared to before.
"It's fine, Hales. And you must be Alex, right? Haley's told me that you're the "Genius" of the family" Billie said with a small smile on her face. Alex stared at her for a few moments.
"Yeah um, I'm Alex. I-It's nice to meet you, Billie" Alex said, stuttering over her words slightly. She was talking to the biggest artist on the planet after all, a woman that was only a few months older than her sister, and had been listened to billions of times across the world.
"Nice to meet you too, Alex. And you're Luke, right?" Billie said, before turning to Luke who stilled before nodding rapidly.
"Yep! I'm Luke, it's nice to meet you Billie Eilish, and I gotta say it's an honor to meet you! I'm a huge fan!" Luke said, barely holding back his excitement over meeting his favorite artist.
"God you are embarrassing me right now" Haley said quietly, looking away from her brother who was excitedly shaking her girlfriend's hand.
She knew about Luke's crush on Billie, and wondered what he would think if he knew they were together. She honestly thought it would be a funny interaction, but decided not to bring it up until later. They were here for something way more important than her little brother's crush on her girlfriend.
"Where's Mom and Dad?" Haley asked, noticing that Phil and Claire were nowhere to be found.
"Upstairs. They're talking about you I think. But we don't really know, cause they yell at us whenever we get near" Luke responded with a shrug, not really sure what they were doing. Only that they didn't want them to know about it.
Hearing this, Haley and Billie glanced at one another. They both knew what they were talking about, and decided it was time to intervene.
Haley didn't say a word to her siblings as she walked away and began to make her way upstairs, and towards the room that the adults of the family were in.
"Um...can I ask what exactly happened? Everyone's acting like it was something serious" Alex asked, a little worried with the way that her sister was acting.
"You'll find out soon enough, Alex. It's better that you hear it from your family than me" Billie responded with a calm expression, as Alex's worry was only deepening when hearing this.
She hoped it wasn't anything too terrible.
