Sorry, I know it was a bit long, but I had a little block for like a week in a half, were I didn't feel like writting about Lily and her life, but today, I had a boost and I got chapter 10, 11 and 12 all done! Im pretty proud. Anyways Hope you enjoy this.
Tell me how you think, this story is coming along :)
Chapter 10:
I ran to the closest bathroom door and slammed the door behind me, I wasn't really conscious if I had locked the door, but so what? I sat by the sink and closed my eyes, once again leaning against the wall for support, like if, it would help me stay up and strong through the night.
The tears were coming easily now and nothing I did seemed to make them stop. It felt like they would never stop. I felt devastated. I knew that when I went down that row with him, that it wouldn't end good, but me and my stupid stubbornness went there no matter what and now look where that got me.
I heard the door open, but I didn't exactly look up. That's how he found me. He found me crying in the bathroom. I guess I hadn't locked it after all. He didn't say a word as he closed and locked the door after him. He came up beside me and quietly sat down. He put his arm around me and when I didn't flinch, he started rubbing my back and whispering small soothing words.
For awhile we stayed like that, him whispering and me crying with my head on his shoulder. It a sense it was really comforting and I don't know what made me stay like that. He brought his finger under my chin and made me lift my head. As I didn't have enough strength to resist, I looked up in his eyes and what I saw in there made me act. I closed my eyes and kissed him. I kissed him with all the power I had left in myself. I tasted the salt on my own lips and he kissed me back and I can't say, I didn't enjoy this kiss, because it was sweet in a way and I knew that I could make myself love this guy. Even if my heart was shattered, I knew I was capable of making myself love him. His hand left my back and came to find mine. His hand was warm and I liked the feeling of knowing that someone was there for me. When I pulled back, I was breathless, but I got up and went to the mirror, he stayed on the ground, with his head against the wall and his eyes closed. I got a towel and whipped my eyes away. Good thing I had waterproof mascara, but with the amount of tears I cried, it still had leaked a bit.
"Stay right here okay, I'll be back." I told him and my voice was broken.
"Sure, but you won't stand me up right?" Josh asked me.
"Of course not, I'll be back, in a sec." I told him, while bending down and kissing lightly on the cheek.
"You're not fair, you're teasing me." He said chuckling and pulling me back down to him, to get a full kiss on the lips. I smiled, but it wasn't my best smile, but he didn't know that of course. I got up and went to the door and unlocked it. I ran to Grace's room and bust in. I went to get my make-up bag and ran back to the bathroom. I opened he door and he was still sitting there, waiting. I closed the door and locked it. He looked up and smiled. "That was fast." He told me
"Yeah, I know. I told you so." I teased him. I went back to the mirror and got to work on my makeup. He got up and stood behind me, with a hand on the small of my back. I smiled at him in the mirror, while re-putting mascara on.
"You know, I think I like you better without that stuff on you." He told me.
"Well, that's too bad, cause I don't do public without make-up" I teased him. "You'll have to put up with it." I smiled once again, even if half of my smiles weren't sincere, he didn't know the difference, only Sam knew. When I thought of him, my heart leaped, but I made myself try to think of Josh's hand on my back instead. I actually concentrated just on that. I turned around and kissed him on the lips, at first only lightly, but he deepened the kiss, he steered me towards the wall and pushed me against it. When his hands started to travel towards the end of my shirt, I pushed him off.
"Not now, Josh."I told him harshly. I toke his hand instead and grabbed my makeup bag. He opened the door and we stepped out. There was two girls waiting for the bathroom and when they saw us come out together they giggled. I went to Grace bedroom and when I tried to push it open, it was locked again and that's when I thought that, earlier tonight it had been locked and when I went to get my makeup bag it had been opened and now it was locked again. Weird, was all I could say. I knocked hard against the door, I heard movements inside, but no one came for the door.
"Damn it!" I whispered under my breath.
"What's wrong?" Josh asked.
"Do you mind if we wait here for awhile, I really need to put this back in Grace's room." I asked him.
"Yeah, sure I'll just go grab a beer, do you want one?" He asked me.
"Yeah, why not? I'll wait for you here." I responded.
"Kay, I'll be back." He said before moving towards the stairs. I watched him go and smiled. I person behind me tapped my shoulder. I turned around and ended face to chest, with a football player I slightly recognized.
"So, you and Andrews huh?" He asked in a teasing voice
"And who?" I responded
"You and Josh Andrews…" He told me, like I had mental problems, which by this point I probably did.
"Oh, well yeah were going out." I told him, half impatient.
"You know Sam wont like this?" He said, it sounded like it was half a question and half like he was trying to point it out.
"Well, that's his problem, it's not like we were dating." I told him furious.
"Whoa, calm down. By the way do you know why he left the party?" he asked me.
"Nope, no clue. Why?"Even if I already knew all this, I wanted to know what the rumors were about.
"Well, apparently he left the party early and he was pretty upset and since your close to him, I thought you might know…" he hinted, trying to get information out of me.
"What makes you believe we are close?" I asked.
"Oh common, don't act like you don't know, because everybody knows you guys are in love, the way he looks at you and the way you look at him, everybody knows except you guys!" He explained teasingly.
"Fine!" I told him stubbornly.
"Anyways, I'll catch up with you later…" He said walking off.
At that moment, Grace's door opened and Grace walked out holding hands with Steve. I gasped and giggled.
".God. You had sex with Steve!" I whispered in her ear.
"Can you just shush?" She half giggled back. "Honey, can you go get me something to drink?" She asked Steve.
"Sure thing, stay here, I'll be back." He told her adoringly and I saw love written all over his face.
".God. Grace, he loves you!" I half screamed to her when I saw him disappear down the stairs.
"I know!" She laughed and hugged me. "Lily, I think I love him too."
"That's great Grace." I told her, sincerely. "Okay don't go into shock…" I said as I saw Josh coming up the stairs and coming towards me with two beers in his hands. Grace looked in the direction I was looking at and gasped.
"Oh no you didn't…" She said and obviously she couldn't believe her eyes.
Josh came up to me and gave me my beer. He bent down and kissed me.
"Hey." He whispered in my ear and I giggled. Louder he said "Hey, Grace."
"Umm, hey, Josh" she said smiling. "Do you mind if I wait here with you guys, Steve just went downstairs to get me something to drink..." She asked Josh.
"Nope it's not a problem, right Lily?" He asked me.
"Nope, not at all." I smiled, definitely starting to enjoy my night. Then I went to Grace's ear and whispered: "I've got tons to tell you and half of it, is pretty bad!"
Please review :)
