Author's Note: This is just something I cooked up because I missed doing Touched By An Angel (which got deleted), so I decided to bring Lily back. I gave Lily an upgrade on her disease (which is Asperger's Syndrome), and I'm trying to make it realistic. Enjoy, and happy reading!
Chapter One: Time
12:40
Her mother would be leaving soon to go to a social outing that was ran by the Evans's, something she often did, and left Lily Jacobs, her four year old daughter, in the care of a baby-sitter: one of the Wildcats that Lily absolutely adored as a group.
Ms. Jacobs (no one in the group dared to call her by her first name, which wa Angela) was upstairs getting ready, while Lily was sitting up in the couch, wondering who was coming.
12: 42
Her mother came downstairs to see if she was doing okay, and Lily averted her eyes towards her mother.
Ms. Jacobs looked back at her daughter, who hadn't said a word.
Usually, Lily was blabbing with life (in other words, she was hyper when she learned one or more Wildcats came to visit her), but today, it seems, she wasn't.
"Lily, are you feeling okay?" Ms. Jacobs asked, and Lily nodded.
"Yeah." Lily replied, and Ms. Jacobs frowned.
"I'm just making sure..." Ms. Jacobs told her, and Lily nodded again as she watched her mother go upstairs again.
The clock made a ticking noise, and Lily looked out the window again.
The little girl's mother wouldn't tell her who was coming to baby-sit her (usually, Ms. Jacobs would), but at times, Ms. Jacobs did this so Lily wouldn't get bored, and start to do something that was unlike her nature.
Lily glanced back at the clock, which now read 12:45, and Lily sighed as she curled up in a small ball, and let her head hit the pillow, closing her eyes shut.
"Lily, wake up."
Lily felt herself being shook, but she forced herself to not open her eyes.
"Maybe she's completely knocked out."
Lily finally opened an eye.
Through her blurry vision, she made out two people, which were both blonde.
The blonde who was shaking her had curly hair, much like her own, and was near her face, and she had a gentle smile on her face.
The second blonde, which was a guy, was in back of the girl, and he had a frown on his face. The most notable thing about him appeared to be the hat that was perched on top of his head.
These two teenagers were Haylie Anderson and Ryan Evans, two baby-sitters that Lily adored to death.
Lily opened the other eye, and Haylie sighed in relief.
"Thank goodness." she replied, and Lily looked around for her mother.
"Where's my mommy?" she asked, and Haylie went to go sit beside her on the couch.
"She left already....you were asleep for awhile."
Ryan smirked as he looked at the two blonde girls.
"Well, it's almost one-thirty..." he said, and Lily widen her eyes.
"Wait! I didn't get a chance to say good-bye!" Lily responded, and Haylie looked at her.
"It's okay, Lily. Your mother will be home in a little while." Haylie ressured her, and Ryan nodded as he sat down next to Lily.
"When's a little while?" Lily asked, and Haylie looked at the clock.
"Right now, like Ryan said, it's one-thirty. Your mother won't be back until two-thirty." Haylie explained, and Ryan looked at the littler girl.
"So, we have a half-hour to kill before your mother comes home. What do you want to do?"
Lily thought for a minute, then looked outside.
It was a gorgeous day outside (as always, Albuquerque was always sunny), and Lily pointed out the window.
"Can we go for a walk? And maybe to the playground?" she asked hopefully, and Haylie looked at Ryan.
"I don't see why not--"
"Yay!" Lily said, jumping off the couch to go to the front door, with Haylie and Ryan following behind her.
Time waits for no child, it seems.
