Chapter Two: I'm Not Alone
Lilly woke up the next day to the sound of her mom getting ready for work. "Mom?" Her voice was rough after sleeping for so long. Lilly kept thinking that she was seeing Nicole, and she had gotten so stressed that she went to sleep at seven thirty.
Lilly's mom came into Lilly's room. "I'm sorry, Honey, did I wake you up?"
Lilly shook her head and got out of bed. "No, I just went to sleep really early."
"Okay, Honey. Well, I gotta get to work, so make sure you eat and could you tidy up your room just a bit?"
Lilly looked around and laughed; her room could use more than some tidying up. It seriously needed a maid. "I will, Mom. Have a good day at work. Love you."
"Love you too, Lilly!" Miss Trescott left the house and Lilly did her morning routine. After that, she flipped out her cell phone and called Miley.
"Lilly, oh my God! Have you seen the morning paper?" Miley asked. She sounded scared and it scared Lilly. Miley was usually so calm and collected.
"No, but hold on. Let me go get it," Lilly said, stepping outside and grabbing the paper that was on her front lawn. "Where is the thing you're so scared about?"
Miley let out a fast breath and said, "It's on the front page. The title is 'Crazy on the Loose.' There's a picture of an alley."
Lilly thought the title was funny but then her good humor disappeared as she saw the picture. It was an alley with the words 'Guess Who's Back-Watch Out J, L, O, M!' Lilly felt like screaming as she put the initials together.
"Jake, Lilly, Oliver, Miley," the two girls said together over the phone.
"Miley, can I come over? I'm really scared. Are Jackson and your dad there?" Lilly asked, throwing the newspaper across the room and quickly getting up.
"Yeah, you can come. But my dad's not here, only Jackson is," Miley said, still sounding very scared.
"Thank you so much. I'll be over in ten minutes. Bye." Lilly hung up the phone and quickly grabbed her skateboard. As she skated over to Miley's house, the sky turned dark and thunder started to rumble. Lilly skated as fast as she could.
Nicole could be anywhere. God, when did she get out of the asylum? Lilly thought fearfully. Is she going to attack Miley and Oliver and Jake now too? Oh God, this is really bad…
Lilly skated into Miley's house and looked around. Jackson was sitting in front of the TV, watching some news program. Miley came over and hugged Lilly.
"I'm so scared," Miley said into Lilly's shoulder.
"I know. I am too. But maybe it's not Nicole. Maybe it's a prank. Or maybe Jlom is somebody's name," Lilly tried to comfort Miley, but she knew it was worthless. Miley was shaking and Lilly rubbed her back.
"Okay. We can't freak out. Let's call Jake and Oliver," Miley said, breaking out of the hug. "You call Oliver, I'll call Jake."
Lilly and Miley pulled out their phones and called the guys.
"Oliver, just, listen to me."
"Jake, come on."
"Just come over here."
"To my house."
"Okay?"
"Bye."
Lilly closed her phone just as Miley did. "Oliver's coming."
Miley nodded. "So is Jake." Miley looked at Jackson and said, "Hey, has there been anything on the news about it?"
Jackson shook his head. "Come sit here. Don't stand there looking scared." Miley and Lilly walked over to the couch and sat down next to Oliver.
Miley jumped and Lilly screamed as thunder struck outside. A knock came on the door. Miley opened the door and hugged Jake.
"I'm sorry I didn't explain. I promise we will when Oliver gets here," Miley said, motioning with her hand for him to sit down. After a few minutes, Oliver came and the girls explained the whole situation.
"And we think it's Nicole," Lilly finished.
"Isn't she in an insane asylum for attacking Lilly, though?" Jake asked.
Miley sighed and said, "Gosh, we don't even know. She was, but I guess she got out somehow."
"Oliver, are you okay?" Lilly asked. Oliver hadn't moved or said a word since Miley and Lilly had started explaining. Oliver looked up. His eyes were sad, confused, regretful. "What's wrong?"
Oliver suddenly hugged Lilly and said, "I'm so sorry!"
"Sorry about what?" Lilly was confused.
"This is all my fault! If I hadn't let her attack you, none of this wouldn't have happened!" Oliver broke away from Lilly and gently fingered the fading scar on her cheek. "Lilly, I'm so sorry that you have to go through this."
Lilly wanted to cry. "No, Oliver, no! This isn't your fault! It's Nicole's fault for being a psycho crazy bitch! And I'm not going through this alone; we're all in this together, right?"
Everybody said, "Right!" at almost the same time, even Jackson.
"I'm not going to let that girl kill or hurt my sister or her friends!" Jackson said, with a strange look on his face. It was a mixture of determination and hidden sadness.
Lilly smiled. At least this time, she wasn't alone. Now people knew that Nicole was crazy and evil. But what was worse was that Nicole was after all four of them now. Lilly didn't want Miley, Oliver, or Jake to get hurt because of her…
Lilly spent the night at Miley's house since it was pouring outside. She left a message on her home phone to tell her mom where she was. Oliver and Jake ended up staying the night, too. They all slept in a clump in the center of Miley's room.
"Well, we're all together, so no one be scared," Oliver said, holding Lilly's hand and smiling at her. Lilly smiled back and scooted a bit closer to him. She sighed contently; Oliver made her feel so safe.
Miley looked at Lilly and smiled. She looked at Jake and smiled even more. Jake lightly kissed Miley's forehead and said, "Good night. Sweet dreams." Jake wrapped his fingers around Miley's and watched her close her eyes.
"Good night."
"Good night."
Nicole walked up the soaked lawn and said, "Oh, you got lucky, Trescott." Nicole looked up at the balcony. No light. In the living room; no light.
"Well, I wonder if you're at Miley's! Real smart, bitch," Nicole picked a rock up off of the ground and threw it at Lilly's front window. "I won't go in today. Next time…on the next rainy night."
Nicole let the rain fall on her and walked away from Lilly's house. "I'll be back, though. Back for all of you."
