Chapter Two
A few hours have passed, Lilly is still asleep on my chest. I glance at the clock. Oh my gosh, it's 4 o'clock, I thought, I have a concert! But I couldn't go and just leave poor Lilly like this, she needs me. Then I hear a knock on my door, which woke up Lilly. "Uhm yeahh?" I called to the door. "You have a concert tonight, Miles. Please get ready. We've got to go now." I heard my father say. I sighed, I can't have a concert tonight I need to take care of Lilly. I spoke up. "I can't tonight daddy, Lilly really needs me and I want to be here for her. I'm sorry but can you please cancel it?"
He sighed through the door. "Fine but there not going to be happy." I heard him say. I sighed too but I knew my best friend was more important. "I know daddy but they'll get over it.. Right now I need to be here for my best friend." I told him as I stroked Lilly's cheeks. I could tell my dad was smiling as he talked through the door. "I'm so proud of you Miles. Giving up the concert tonight for your friend. That just shows that you will never let fame get over your head." My dad said. I smiled too and told him I know.

Hours have passed and it's late. It is now midnight. I glanced down at Lilly, she looks up at me. "Hey sweetie." I said softly. She looked at me. Didn't cry, didn't scream, just looked. I looked down at her. Then I used my thumb to stroke her cheek as gently as possible. She then cuddled up to me and buried her face into my chest. I wrapped my arms around her tight but protectively. She fell fast asleep in my arms. I kissed the top of her head and went to sleep too as I held Lilly close to me.

I woke up and looked down at Lilly. Sound asleep. I glanced at the clock.. 9 o'clock. Oh well, We'll miss the first two classes, big deal. I looked back down at Lilly sleeping, I smiled. She's so cute when she sleeps, I thought. I pulled her closer to me and wrapped my arms tighter around her. I could feel her soft hair trickle on my neck and chest. She woke up and looked up at me. I stroked her cheek with my thumb.
"Morning sweetie. Are you feeling a bit better?" I asked in a soft tone. Lilly nodded slowly. I stroked her hair which soothed her a bit. "That's good. Do you want to stay here today Lils? Or can you handle school today sweetie?" I asked in soothing voice.
Lilly finally spoke up but in a hoarse tone. "I-I can handle school." She said. I looked down at her, poor baby. She had tear stains on her face plus the red marks and scratches. I didn't want her to have to go to school like that. "Fine Lils. But let's go wash your face off okay? And maybe put some medicine on your bruises." I said as I sat up with Lilly wrapped in my arms. Lilly started shivering, poor thing, her whole body suddenly felt a lot colder. I wrapped arms tighter around her trying to warm her up. She snuggled closer to me, resting her head on my chest. I kissed the top of her head softly. I wish I could tell her how much I love and care about her.

When we got to school, Lilly stood right next to me as some freaky looking guy approached her. I wrapped one of my arms around Lilly, pulling her a little closer. Lilly looked at him scared to death. When I saw him, I remembered he was the jerk who took advantage of my little Lilly. I glared at him. He glared at me then at Lilly. "Oh look who it is the little b**** and her friend." He said evilly trying to grab Lilly. I punched him in the face before he could even think about hurting my little Lilly. I held Lilly close to me and we walked away to class, poor Lilly was shaking.

As we sat down in the cafeteria, Lilly was still a bit shaky. I wrapped my arms around her just tight enough to stop her from shaking. She looked at me, I could see through her beautiful blue eyes that she felt safe in my arms. Oliver ruined the moment by speaking. "How come you were crying yesterday Lilly?" He looked at her concerned. Ugh, he had to bring that up. Now he's going to upset her again. I looked at Lilly who was about to cry. "My-my dad..he..he died." She sobbed. I couldn't help it seeing poor Lilly like this. I rubbed her back as softly as I could. She broke down crying, so I pulled her close to me as I rocked her back and forth. I then half glared at Oliver. "You had to ask her why?" I asked.
