BILLIE
I’m fine.

ZARA
You’re fine?

BILLIE
How are you?

ZARA
Billie…
It’s just me, you know you don’t need to hide it

BILLIE
I’m not hiding anything, just trying to fight it

ZARA
Fight what?

BILLIE
I just need to know

ZARA
Know what?

BILLIE
I just need to fix it

ZARA
Fix what?


(BILLIE)
I just wish that she could just be a part of this
Why does it come to choosing between…

ZARA
Sometimes you make no sense
You never ever say what you mean


BILLIE
While I'm standing here, in this heavy air
There’s so much, but it doesn't fill my lungs

(BILLIE)
And even Zara can see right through, she knows me better than i do..

BILLIE & (BILLIE)
Which is new to me

BILLIE
How can I get through this and just say goodbye
When I'm not sure what I want, and I don't know why
Or if I'm done with my plan

BILLIE & (BILLIE)
Does that change who I am?

ZARA
I can see you, but you're far off somewhere
Somewhere that will never be my place
Somewhere in your mind that’s hard to face
Let me be with you, let me calm your mind
If you slow just down, I think you'll find that I'll be here -

BILLIE

If Mum and Dad call, I'm not where I'm meant to be
How could I ever face them; let them see?
There's a door here, and a nightmare
A moment I have always hoped for
It feels as good as if it could be
Is it worth it all ‘cos I have the key
I’ve never had to consider this part of me before

ZARA
You need to breathe in, you need to breath in and out
Can’t you just let it all out,
it’s only me around
if you just listen, you can make this fear go away
so hear me when I say
that you will be okay.

BILLIE
What I need right now, while I'm in this mode,
While I'm here sorting this mental load,
I need you to... no, I need two plans to become one solution.
What I need to do is find a way
But either choice I make will make me say
things I don't mean. But I do mean
I did not ever think I'd be here

BILLIE
What I need right now, while I'm in this mode,

ZARA
[You need to breathe in and out]

BILLIE
While I'm here sorting this mental load,

ZARA
[Just tell me what this is about]

BILLIE
I need you to... no, I need two plans to become one solution.

ZARA
[I can’t help you if you don’t talk to me]

BILLIE
What I need to do is find a way

ZARA
[Stay with me]

BILLIE
But either choice I make will make me say

ZARA
[You’re okay, why aren’t you listening?]

BILLIE
things I don't mean. But I do mean.
I did not ever think I'd be here -


ZARA
[Can you hear me?]

BILLIE
that I'd be here -

ZARA
[Can you hear me?!]

BILLIE
I'd be here -

ZARA
[Can you hear me! Billie.... won’t you listen?]

BILLIE
That I'd be here -

ZARA
[Can you hear me?!]

BILLIE
That I'd be here -

ZARA
[Can you hear me?!]

BILLIE
That I'd be here -

ZARA
[Can you hear me?!]

BILLIE
I'd be here -

ZARA
[Can you hear me! Billie, won’t you listen?]
