Good Girl, Bad Girl

Chapter 7: Punishment Trials

Her heart pounded in her chest as she saw nothing but darkness. Her hands shook and her mind played tricks on her as she listened to the dark. Pitch black with no way out and no way of telling when she would be let out. The fealing of insanity was already coursing through her veins as she breathed heavily. "Please let me out!" Her torturous screams filled with terror would be enough to make Jack the Ripper cry but her screams fell on deaf ears. No one could hear her.

With shaking hands she threw them over her ears to desperatly try and block the voices from in her head. "No! No! No!" Again her desperate screams fell on deaf ears. The only thing that blocked her from her freedom was a steel cellar door. With a strangled cry she charged the door and threw herself against it again and again but with no prevail. The door remained shut. She fell to cold hard ground and curled up in a ball tightening every muscle in her body to keep herself from thinking.

In the pitch black of darkness she slowly lost her sanity...

She could hear nothing but her rapidly beating heart and the pounding in her head. Deafening silence. "Let me out...Please..." She whispered to no one. It felt like a demon's hand was squeezing the air out of her lungs and constricting her heart. She was having a panic attack.

Lilly opened her eyes frantically and took gulps of air. Her heart pounded in her chest and she picked herself up off the old couch in her living room. She ran her hands through her hair let out a sigh of relief. 'You're ok Lilly, you're not in the cellar. You're fine.' She thought trying to calm herself. In the doorway stood her father holding a beer can in one hand and a large kitchen knife in the other. "Where's mom?" She asked through gritted teeth. She wasn't affraid of her father anymore. She grew out of that a long time ago.

"She's at the store." He slurred while taking a drink from his beer. "Get out of my house." He slurred again while taking a shaky step towards her. Lilly stood her ground readying herself for what her father might do. "Did you hear me you little tart? Get out." He shoved her with the hand holding the beer spilling all over her. "Now look what you made me do! You're a worthless you piece of shit!" He shouted angrily and shoved her even harder knocking her back a little. She still held her ground though, not saying a word. "Kid if you know what's best for you, leave." He said plopping himself down on his chair as if the anger was sucked out of him. Lilly walked out of the house and let out an anger filled scream.

After she screamed she picked up a fist size rock and threw it through the living room window, satisfied when she heard her father scream in anger. "That's right you mother fucker, come out and fight like a man." Lilly whispered waiting for the front door to open. "Out here, you can't get away with anything, people will see and that's what your scared of." She whispered getting her mind mentally ready for the fight to come.

The front door slammed open and out her drunken father came. "What the fuck!? You little whore!" Lilly waited for her father to walk down the steps. He staggered down the steps. "Come on! You mother fucker! Come on!" Lilly shouted with her fists raised. "This is what you want isn't it!? Let's go! Come on! Don't tell me your a pussy!" She circled around him like a predator toying with their pray. He lashed out with his fist but Lilly easily moved away from it and rammed her fist into his stomach. With a grunt he fell to the ground breathing heavily. "Is that all you got!? Is that all you got you mother fucker!?" She shouted before punching him in the face.

"How many more times are we going to have to go through this? I kick your ass and you just stagger back into the house like a little bitch with your tail between your legs." Lilly asked putting her hands down. "I can still see the fear in your eyes Lilly. No matter how many times you beat me up like a little teenager, I'll have the whip in my hands, controlling your little ass." He answered before pulling himself up off the ground and staggering back up the steps. "Oh and by the way, nobody cares about what I do to you. They don't care if I beat you like the pig you are or if I scream at you like the whore you are. They could care less about a worthless piece of shit like you. That's why I let this continue outside." With that he went back in the house leaving Lilly outside feeling like she lost the battle. 'That was his plan all along, make me feel like I've won, then snatch it away from me.' Lilly thought while looking down at the ground. "He's still in control." She whispered, defeatedly.

3:20 Outside of School

Sweat poured down Lilly's face as she waited on the bench of Miley. It was 85 degrees out and she was burning up. Her tank top was damp with sweat as were her swimming shorts, she was planning on taking Miley to the beach. "God why does it gotta be so hot!" She sighed throwing her head back waiting for the cool breeze to roll across her skin. "Lilly Truscott, long time no see." Lilly grinned at the sound of her old friend's voice. "Oliver Oken." Lilly responded standing up off the bench and giving the rebel looking boy a hug. "Damn, you've gotten buffed up you meat head!" Oliver shouted slapping her on the back. "Someone's gotta keep the nerds, preps, and jocks in place." She answered taking a step back from Oliver. "So how's England doing for you?" Oliver rolled his eyes. "Horrible, I wanna punch somebody everytime I hear them talk. You can't understand what they say and they don't know what good food is." Lilly laughed and plopped back down on the bench waiting for Oliver to do the same.

"What's been going on with you?" Lilly rested her elbows on the back of the bench. "Same old, same old. Except for a Ms. Miley Stewart." Lilly waited for Oliver's excited shout. As expected it came. "No fucking way! You and Miley Stewart? Miley Stewart as in the most popular girl in all of Malibu Miley Stewart?" Lilly chuckled before shaking her head. "No, but we've been hanging out a lot lately, she's different then all the other girls I've dated. I don't know why, but she just is." Lilly answered watching as students of all ages exited the school. "So are you in love with her then?" Oliver asked watching the students also. "I don't know and it's scary cause we've only known each other for like a day or so but it feels like I've known her forever." Oliver's eyes widened. "Are you sure you just don't want to get in her pants?" Lilly glared at him. "Of course not! She's different, she gives people like us a chance." Lilly answered looking down at the ground. Oliver understood her. And that's what Lilly liked about him, they were alike in a lot of ways. Both grew up from broken homes.

"You and I are like brother and sister, I know what your feeling, trust me I do." Oliver stated looking over his shoulder to Lilly. "We always did everything together, hell we even got the shit beat out us together." Oliver chuckled lightly at his own joke. "Unfortunatly only one of us could escape." Lilly answered. Oliver rubbed the back of his neck and sighed as he heard his name being called. "Lilly, it was nice seeing you again, but I think this is going to be the last time we ever do. Your like my little sister and it hurts everytime I see you because I left you in this hell." Lilly smiled sadly and hugged him tightly. "I'm glad I met you in this life time Ollie." Oliver nodded and let go of Lilly. "Till the next life time?" He asked holding out his fist. "Till the next life time." Lilly agreed lightly punching his fist. She watched as Oliver got into his car and drove off never taking her eyes off it till she could no longer see it. "Till the next life time Oliver." She whispered looking down at the ground.

"Hey Lilly!" Miley shouted walking up to her and standing in front of her. Lilly smiled but she still felt numb from Oliver's leaving. "What's wrong?" Miley asked sitting next to her and taking her hand. "Nothing, it's just really hot out." Miley knew Lilly was lying but descided to not press any further on the subject. "Want to go to the beach?" Lilly asked hoping to change the subject. "Yeah, we just need to stop at my house so I can change. Do you need to go by your house?" Miley asked hoping she needed to, she wanted to see Lilly's house since she didn't know that much about her family. "Um, no I'm good." Lilly answered noticing the disappointed look on Miley's face. She had to ignore it though for Miley's sake. 'If we went to my house right now, there's no telling what dad would to her.' Lilly thought getting up off the bench. "Let's go." Miley also got up and grunted as she pulled her backpack up on her shoulder. Lilly smirked and took the bag off Miley's shoulder. "I'll take it." Before Miley could protest Lilly had the backpack on her shoulder and started walking. "You coming?" She called over her shoulder waiting for Miley's footsteps. Miley jogged up next to her and once again linked their arms together like they were in the morning.

As they approached Miley's house they noticed Robbie Ray on a latter fixing the gutter that Lilly had climbed up. "Hey girls, the strangest thing happened this morning, the gutter fell off and the neighbor is saying that someone jumped in his pool. It's the strangest thing I swear." Miley and Lilly could only grin. "Hey dad can I go to the beach with Lilly?" Robbie Ray looked down at Lilly smiling. "Sure, as long as Lilly keeps the guys away from you." Lilly smiled, "Don't worry I will." Miley smiled and looked back up at her dad. "Thanks! See you later!" With that both girls ran inside the house to get out of the scorching heat.

Once inside Miley's room, Miley descided to have a little fun with Lilly. "I'm not sure which bakinni I should wear, so I was thinking you could choose one for me?" Miley asked with an inoccent face. Lilly nodded her head trying to hide her grin. "I'll be right back." Miley said while going into her bathroom with a few bakinni tops and bottoms. Once out of sight Lilly mouthed the words, "Thank you God" While putting her hands together.

Miley stepped out of the bathroom a few minutes later in a purple bakinni. She had her hair down and put lip gloss on her lips. Lilly could only stare with her mouth slightly open. She was in heaven but quickly regained her composure. 'Two can play at this game.' She thought while standing up and circling around Miley, letting her arms barely graze Miley's skin. "I think I should see the other ones and then tell you which one I like the most." She whispered into Miley's ear, grinning as Miley shivered. "Ok." Was all Miley could say before going back into the bathroom. Lilly smiled to herself as she watched Miley walk.

Miley walked out of the bathroom with a pair of short shorts on and a spaghetti strap shirt. Lilly was confused now, she thought she was going to see a bakinni. Miley smiled to herself, "I'll show you at the beach what I'm wearing." She whispered into Lilly's ear causing her to smile. Oh yes they both knew now that they liked each other.

As they walked towards the beach Lilly noticed the smile that wouldn't leave Miley's face. She wondered if she was the cause of that beautiful smile. Lilly could smell the water as soon as they arrived and she wondered if she should make her move on Miley. But the only thing from stopping her, was her home life. She was concerned for Miley's safety, in the back of her mind she could see her father doing something harmful to Miley. She had to weigh out the consequences of having Miley as girlfriend before the benefits of having her. Sure Miley would make her happy but was her happiness worth risking Miley's safety? No. But what were the chances of her dad finding out that she was dating Miley? Very slim. What would the chance be of Miley finding out about the abuse that went on? Very likely. She had to make a choice and the only choice she had was to keep Miley safe even if it ment her not being happy.

"This looks like a good spot!" Lilly was broken out of her train of thought. "Yeah, great spot." She mumbled helping Miley set out the blanket and towels. "Want to swim?" Lilly asked looking out at the calm water. Miley rubbed her toes in the sand before shyly answering. "I can't really swim..." Her face was as red as a tomato and Lilly lightly smiled. "Come on, I'll help you." Miley's embaressment vanished slightly. "Really?" She asked expecting Lilly to brake out laughing. "Yeah, let's go. You gotta learn somewhere along the line." Miley smiled but that smile instantly turned into a smirk. "Let's get started, but first I need to change into my bathing suit." Lilly grinned and patiently watched as Miley slowly removed her shorts that covered her bakinni bottom and top that covered the top half of the bakinni. Lilly's eyes stayed glued to Miley's body as it was slowly revealed to her.

A knowing grin was on Miley's face as she removed her top. She made sure she looked in Lilly's eyes to see what was there lust was deffinetly showing its colors. A mixture of sorrow and anger lingered in her blue eyes and Miley wanted to know what the cause was for that sorrow and anger.

Once the top was removed a red bakinni top and bottom was revealed. Lilly's mouth went dry as her mouth was slightly agape. She couldn't stop staring at the beautiful girl in front of her. Lilly's eyes followed Miley's body movement as she made her way seductively over to her. Miley slid her finger up Lilly's stomach and chest before reaching her chin and forcing Lilly to close her mouth. "I take it you like?" Miley whispered into her ear leaving almost no distance between them. Lilly could only squeak out, "Yeah." Miley smiled before stepping back and taking Lilly's hand. "Time for me to learn how to swim!." She shouted dragging Lilly into the water.

End of Chapter.

A/N: Well how'd you like it? I liked it. Spelling isn't the greatest, spell checker on the site isn't working for me and on my computer I only have notepad and wordpad so I personally don't have a spell checker or grammar checker. Again thank you all for the tons of reviews, I think this chapter has had the most reviews so far. Anyway leave a review for me!
