Love Without Hope-2
Chapter 2:
Moving In
(AN- chapter two! I Really like this story. I pretty much say that for every story I do. What can I say? My stories might be getting better. Last chapter i kept typing hospitable when i ment to say hospital. I was really tired. I am really trying to make large chapters in this story. Most of this story will be in Lilly's POV, cause she is my favorite character. My goal is about 1.5k+ each chapter. And i may just be using up space in my author notes, like this sentence, cause it is pointless. Alright, enough chit chat. Let's get down to business. DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Alpha and Omega characters. I do own my OC's. I you would like to use one, just PM me. This is for any one of my OC's in any story.)
Lilly's POV:
I'm dreaming that everyone is laughing at me. They are making fun of my hair and my eyes. My mom said I was unique to be born with violet eyes and snow white hair. I've checked online, nobody else in the world has purple eyes.
The people in my dream are being brutal to me. I'm trying not to let any of it get to my head, because I know that I am dreaming. I can't help but a tear slide though.
Then I see Humphrey in the crowd and my nightmare turns to a mere good dream. He walks up to me and takes my hand. I start to feel tingly inside. "Come on," he says. "Let's get out of the crowd."
"Ok." I lean my head against his chest, feeling the warm, rhythmic beat of his heart. I can't help but catching a whiff of his cologne, and I feel as if I'm about to go crazy.
'I need Humphrey. Now.' I feel and irresistible urge to kiss him. The more I hold it in the more it wants to come out. It's just a dream, so what harm can be done.
I lean up and slam a kiss on his lips. He gladly accepts it and kisses back. We pull away and the distance between us is tingling with electricity. Where ever our skin touches it feels as if he is coursing energy to me.
Then all of a sudden I hear a gunshot pierce the night sky, and Humphrey is violently slammed against the ground. Bleeding. Broken. Dead.
"NO!" I sit up and scream. I look around me and find myself back in Humphrey's room. I let out a huge sigh.
Humphrey has about ten other girls that are "drooling" over him. I doubt he will even pay attention to me. Even if we are going to be housemates. He will probably go after Kate anyway. You can easily tell he has had a crush on my older sister.
I wipe the sweat off my forehead and out of my eyes, then I walk out of the room.
"Hey Kate. What's in the fridge? Any thing for breakfast?" I ask, starving.
"I can cook some bacon. That's all there is." she offers.
"Mmm. Yes I would love that." I have a weakness for bacon. I'm not fat or anything. I have a good figure and all.
My dad said that I liked bacon as if I were a guy. Thinking of my dad brings a twinge of pain.
I smell the delicious bacon sizzling. Out of no where, Kate's phone buzzes.
Kate's POV:
I pick up my phone and answer it. "Hello?"
On the other line I hear, "Hello, is this Kate Winslow?"
"Yes."
"I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm just here to inform you that your parents funeral will be next Thursday. We did you a favor and cleaned up all of the mess and you can return home."
"Thank you, whoever this is. But I'm not going to live there anymore. I will have all of our stuff packed and we will leave. The house will be your responsibility."
"What?"
"Look, I'm only seventeen. Me and my sister are moving in with one of my friends."
"But..."
"Thank you." I say and I hang up the phone.
"Who was that? Lilly asks as she finishes cooking the bacon I started cooking.
"The morgue people." I say. "They cleaned up... Our parents." It doesn't feel natural to say that. I still cannot believe they are dead. "The funeral is going to be next Thursday." I say. I have cried so much, I cannot produce any more tears.
Lilly flips the bacon off of the pan an on to an awaiting plate. "How many pieces do you want?"
"Uh, I'll have two." I really don't feel like eating.
"Just two?" she looks surprised. "Oh, well. More for me then." She puts two of the pieces on another plate and sets it on the table next to another chair.
"Who else lives here with Humphrey?" I ask. He has to have some sort of guardian. I mean, he is seventeen, not twenty. How can he own his own three bedroom house?
"I don't know. It looks like he lives here by himself." she says.
"So, did you sleep good in Humphrey's room?" I ask, wanting to see her reaction.
I always have known my sixteen year old sister had a crush on him. I saw that since he moved here a year ago. She would talk about him nonstop, and not even know it.
She blushes and looks away.
"Did it smell good?" I ask, trying hard to embarrass her.
"Yes..." she whispers. I just laugh. She quickly changes the subject. "What are we going to do today?"
"We are going to get all of our stuff out of our old house and bring it here." wait, "Well, I don't know where we are going to put the stuff."
"I guess we will put it in the guest bedroom that is down the hall. You probably should have slept there instead of Humphrey's room." I say, making Lilly's question backfire on her.
"I... I guess I should have." Lilly looks ashamed.
"Hey," I say, comforting her. "I was just kidding."
"Come on," she says "Let's go get our stuff."
Humphrey's POV:
I wake up and stretch. I feel light headed, as if I have been treated with butt-loads of Novocain. "Ugh."
I can feel where the bullet wound is. The doctor told me that it did not puncture any vital parts in my body. He said I was lucky to survive with all of the blood loss, and I would have died if it wasn't for a pink tank top wrapped around my stomach. I don't remember how that got there.
I was informed that I will be able to go home tomorrow, due to a successful surgery to remove the bullet. The gun that the guy used wasn't as powerful as it should have been, so it didn't have an exit wound. Not that I'm complaining or anything. I'm just glad to be alive.
I hear knocking on the door. "Come in." I yell.
Then four girls walk in. I recognize them as Reba, Janice, Sweets, and Candy that also go to Jasper high.
"Hey, Humphrey. We heard what happened and wanted to see if you are ok."
"Well..."
"Were here to keep you company." says Reba.
"That's..."
"So are you going to be fine."
I cannot manage to finish any of my sentences. I then get an idea. I make my voice sound as sick as it could. "No." I rasp.
"What?" they all say.
"The doctor said I have a few hours left to live." I'm trying hard not to laugh at there expressions.
Right before they are on the brink of crying I say. "Hey, I was kidding."
I see their expressions change and they all laugh. "You got us." says Sweets.
"Yeah. I'm good like that." I say.
"So what do you want to talk about while we stay here?"
"Well, I was perfectly fine with watching the TV."
"Nonsense." says Janice, as she picks up the remote and turns it off.
I sigh. One of my favorite shows was about to start. At least I have it set to record at home.
"So about this dance coming up in spring..." Candy starts.
Oh, Crap. That kind of talking. I start to get very uncomfortable.
Then the nurse busts in the door. "Everyone out. I have to check up on Humphrey. See if he is healing right.
The girls groan as they are shooed out of the room. Once the door closes I say, "Thank You." to the nurse.
"Nah, don't thank me. Girls can be very annoying." she says with a laugh. "I still need to check up on the bullet wound though."
I nod, lean back, and close my eyes, preparing for the pain.
Lilly's POV:
I rummage through my room. "I really should have cleaned this room more often." I tell myself aloud. I look at all of my stuff.
I decide just to grab the essentials. My hair straightener, my hair brush, my shampoo, any other thing that has something to do with my hair, my tooth brush and toothpaste, all of my clothes, a few of my purses, my makeup bag, my book sack for school, my diary, my pet bunny named Mr. Snuggles, his bunny food, my phone charger, my laptop, and finally, my favorite book.
I always read chapters of the book to Mr. Snuggles. He seems to enjoy it. He tried to eat one of the pages once, so I keep him in his cage when I read now.
It takes me a few trips to get all of my stuff and I stick it all in the back seat, except for Mr. Snuggles. He will ride on my lap.
I really don't know why we are using the car. Humphrey's house is next door. Well, whatever saves energy, cause I am still tired from the restless night.
Kate walks up with a big bag of stuff. "That's it?" I ask.
"Well, all I need is a few outfits, and just wash them regularly."
I face palm. "C'mon Kate! I thought you were a girl. Where is all your stuff for your hair?"
"My shampoo is in this bag, and I can just use your straightener." she looks inside the packed car. "Why'd you bring all this stuff?"
"It's everything I need to survive through the day. Duh!" I roll my eyes.
She sighs and then starts the car.
After a ten second drive, we are in Humphrey's driveway. I spend about thirty minutes taking all of my things out of the car, and another hour arranging my new room.
"There!" I take my bunny out of his cage. "What do you think Mr. Snuggles?" he just chews on his own teeth. "I knew you'd like it." I put him back into his cage and he hungrily starts eating from his bowl.
I walk out of the room and into the living room. I grab the remote and turn on the TV, which happens to be on the news channel.
"Three people were shot yesterday on Winters Street. Two adults around their fifties were killed and a seventeen year old boy was hospitalized. Police report that they have no leads on the murderer just yet."
"Hey Kate. Your probably are going to be questioned about this thing." I said. Just then the phone rings.
Kate picks up the phone. "Speak of the devil." she says. She then answers the phone.
I turn back to the TV and change the channel. After ten minutes of flipping through all of the channels, Kate then walks back into the living room. "I have to take a ride to the police station for questioning."
"Ok. Hey. Could you drop me off at the hospital on the way?"
"You wanna see Humphrey?" Kate asks with an "Awww" voice.
I blush and look away.
"Hop in." she says with a smile, "I'll take you."
We arrive at the hospital and I eagerly hop out. Candy texted me that everything went fine during his surgery, and that he'll be home, and mobile, tomorrow morning.
A walk up to the receptionist. "315." she says, without even bothering to look up. I already knew that.
I walk in the doorway and sit in the chair next to the hospital chair. Humphrey is peacefully sleeping. He looks so happy. I wonder what he is dreaming about.
Humphrey's POV:
I am in a huge field, which happens to be the setting of a lot of dreams, and I am gracefully walking through it.
Someone taps on my shoulder and I turn around. "Delilah?"
"Hey Humphrey, how's it been?" Delilah was my girlfriend before my parents died and I moved to Jasper.
"I've been great!" I say, excited to see her.
"Well, let's get down to business. Shall we?"
"Wait, what?"
"There are about seven girls who would go out with you in a heartbeat. Eventually, you will have to pick one of them. I'm just here to caution you."
"Wait, so you wouldn't be mad if I dated someone else?"
"Listen here. I'm all in you head. I only know what you know. And by what you would infer, Delilah wouldn't be angry. I am being her just so you would pay attention."
"Oh," I say, disappointed.
"Now, choose carefully."
I open my eyes and the first thing I see is Lilly, sleeping in the chair next to me. She just looks so cute when she sleeps.
I stir, trying to change positions without disturbing Lilly. It didn't work. Lilly's eyes snap open as the bed creaks. She then yawns and stretches.
"Hey Humphrey." she says with a smile.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"Well, Kate had to go to the police department to answer a few questions. I had nothing better to do, so she dropped me off here. So, I hear that you'll be coming home tomorrow." she leans closer to me.
"Yeah. I'll be home tomorrow. How long have you been here."
She checks her watch. "About three hours. Although I fell asleep for most of it."
"Oh." I am somewhat touched that she would sit by my side for three hours.
"How does it feel?" she asks.
"Well, it hurts. Right now it feels sore mainly."
We talk a bit more like this, until Kate pokes her head in the doorway. "Let's go Lilly."
"Oh, alright." she reluctantly gets up.
"Hey Kate! Don't forget to pick me up tomorrow." I remind her.
"I won't." she says.
"See you tomorrow." Lilly says with a little wave, as she round the corner and out to the hallway.
I find myself dozing off to sleep again, thinking about tomorrow.
(AN- I think this was the longest chapter. I can't tell until after I write all of this stuff. To ALPHA 01- don't leave out Alaina, she may want Humphrey also, and you may want to get an account, it makes these messages a lot easier when I can just PM you. Well, that was an epic (I hope) chapter two. Until next chapter, don't count your chickens before they hatch -SilverWolf1500)
