Stitches of Love
Lily was a hard headed girl that loved nothing more than to spend a day making a garment. She had short black hair and yellow glasses. The only shoes she owned were high heels. Her closet was filled with her homemade dresses. Lily had refused to stop wearing dresses. They were all purple, black, or yellow. To top it all off, she wore a dark purple lipstick. People at school made fun of her fashion sense and often she was alone. She didn't listen to any remarks any one had to say. But one day while she was sketching a dress in her room, her mom came in.
"Hi mom." She said with a smile.
"Lily, darling we need to talk." Her mom said, sitting on her bed.
"About what, is there something wrong?"Lily asked looking puzzled.
"Its about the way you dress. I think it's time to put the idea of fashion behind and look for a new career." she said.
"You don't think I can do this." Lily said, looking hurt.
"The way you dress and the things you make isn't really normal wear. Besides there are thousands of people just like you who want to be designers, think about the competition." Her mother said.
Normal Lily expected these comments from other people, but from her mom was a different thing. She felt heartbroken and a tear fell out of her eyes.
"You might not think so, B but I know I can make it.'' She shouted before leaving the house. She ran to the park started crying on a bench. She had always been so sure that she was destined to be a designer, but now she wasn't sure of anything. She had cried for about five minutes before she heard footsteps. Lily lifted her head to see a teenage boy. He had black hair and his eyes were the deepest shades of blue.
"You okay?' He asked.
"Yeah I'm okay." Lily answered, wiping off her tears.
"What's the matter?" He asked.
'Nothing, now leave me alone." She said, pouting her face.
"I'm gonna stay until you tell me." He said with a smirk. He's obviously not going away. Lily thought.
"Then I'll go." She said. Then she got up and walked away. She had gotten a few feet away before the boy started following her. She had walked around the park before she had enough.
"Stop following me, I don't have to tell you anything." She shouted and started to run.
This was one of those times when having all high heel shoes was a bad idea. In mid step, the heel of the boot she wore broke and she fell. Lily fell and sprained her ankle. Lucky for her the boy was there to help her.
"Let me take you home." He offered. He reached out his hand.
Lily grumbled but took his hand. He carried her on his shoulder all the way to her house. On the way home, he asked again why she was crying earlier. Lily sighed and told him the whole deal about her and her mom. He listened silently without interrupting.
"Well there's only one thing I can tell you.' He said after they got to Lily's house.
"What's that?" Lily asked.
"Do you think you can do it?" He told her before setting her down.
This strucked Lily speechless, she kept that in her mind as the boy walked away.
"Wait, don't go yet." Lily called after him. He stopped and listened. "What's your name?" She asked.
"Ikuto, Ikuto Tsukiyomi." He answered before he left.
Lily stared at the way he walked off until her mother came to the door.
