Clark's POV

It has now been a month since the bombings and I am well on the way to recovering fully. My wrist has completely healed and my leg should be soon. The Wordsworth's are coming over for a barbecue today. I heard their car pull up in the driveway but I didn't move from my position in the hammock. Partly because I knew Lillie would come outside and sit with me when she arrived and partly because I just couldn't get out of the hammock because of my broken leg. It was hard enough getting onto it unassisted. I had my eyes closed when I heard the back door open and then close and someone start to walk through the garden towards me. Without even opening my eyes, I knew it was Lillie.
"Hey Lazybones, you at least gonna open your eyes and say hi to me?" She shouted across the garden. I smiled, eyes still closed and merely raised my hand in a sort of wave.
"Pathetic!" She said laughing as she climbed onto the hammock next to me. That was when I decided to open my eyes.
"Hi." I said
"Nope. Too late for that." She said crossing her arms across her chest, pretending to be mad at me, whilst trying (and failing) not to laugh. I grabbed her hands and pulled her towards me and then onto my lap, kissing her quickly on the lips, which made her squeak in surprise.
"You still mad at me?" I asked. She shook her head and rested her head on my shoulder before taking my hand in hers.
"So why are you out here instead of inside with Izzy and your parents?" Lillie asked and I shrugged.
"I don't know, maybe because its such nice weather out here or maybe because they're always fussing over me and making sure I'm comfortable, which gets really annoying trust me. I don't know Lils." I replied
"You know, since the bombings I've come and visited you everyday, even if I have seen you at school and we talk, which I love. I love spending time with you, being with you, talking to you and I'm not complaining at all but all we talk about things that have happened to us during the day and things that we are looking forward to or things that we have done together that were good. But that's it. We never actually talk about how we're feeling emotionally, we talk about how we're feeling physically but not emotionally. That's all we've really talked about since I was... kidnapped. You get what I mean?"
Once Lillie had finished her little speech I nodded to show her that I understood what she meant, slightly surprised that she had brought up the topic of her getting kidnapped because we never talked about it. Never.
"Wow! That was quite a speech Lils. You been thinking about that for a while?" I said and she nodded. "So, do you want to talk about how you're feeling emotionally Lil and then I'll tell you how I'm feeling emotionally?" Again she nodded.
"I feel angry." She started "Angry that Faber took so many innocent lives, both young and old. I'm angry that he took Donna from us and caused you and Greg so much pain and our friends and family so much grief and emotional pain. I'm angry that I was with Dean and his girlfriend instead of with you, where I should have been. I should have agreed to go with you. I don't know why but I can't help but feel that it was partly my fault for not going with you. Wow, I'm glad I got that off my chest. Your turn."
"Ok, well firstly, it's not your fault at all and you shouldn't blame yourself Lil. Secondly, I feel annoyed, angry, hurt, mainly for the same reasons as you, but also because..." I trailed off and looked down and Lillie who was looking up at me.
"Go on." She whispered
"Because of what Ethan Jones did to you. That he thought that it was ok to kidnap you just because he didn't get into Guns and Gangs or the SRU. You didn't deserve that, it wasn't your fault and it was completely unfair of him to take it out on you." I finished. I looked down at Lillie once again and saw that she had tears in her eyes and she buried her head in my chest. I took her shoulders and moved her so that she was looking at me once again before wiping away her tears and kissing her.
"Yuck! Will you two stop kissing? It is seriously disgusting!" Shouted Claire as se walked through the garden. Lillie laughed and turned to her.
"If you don't like it then go away because I want to kiss my boyfriend." She was still laughing as she turned back to me. I could hear Claire huff and storm off and I laughed at how frustrated she was.
"Well, that got rid of her!" Said Lillie laughing. I laughed and she rested her head on my chest while I played with her hair.
