Chapter Three: Dreams, Struggles, & A School Dance





Of bloody limbs, and collapsing dreams. Lilian sat in the dark, looking upward into a mist of seeming nothing. She hated being alone. Carefully she stood up. And blinked, dark pupils trying to adjest to the lighting. But she couldn't. There was no lighting to begin with, the place was pitch black. Then it all flashed to a totally different area. She was in this room, with peach painted walls. Dressed in blues and grays. She began to run, trying to get to the door. She felt the urge to scream, but her throat was too dry to. As she was running, the door seemed to be getting farther and farther away. Each time she felt as if she was going to disappear. Lil carefully worked up the nerve to yell. 'No! You can't leave yet!' The floor collapsed from under her. And she began to fall into a bottomless pit of silence. But what was echoed, was one last sentence. 'It's not official yet. But i'll be waiting...."

"I'll be waiting.."

Lil gasped, and snapped her eyes open in shock. She couldn't breathe, for a few moments so she had to place her hand against her chest trying to slow down her heart-rate. She fiddled with her sweaty nightgown and blinked. Vision was blurry, but soon adjested to the sunrays piercing through the drapes of her bedroom window. The same sentence screamed in her head, as she gingerly brushed her fingers through the sloppy mop of hair. Lil gazed at the clock, and found it to be 7:15 AM. She grunted. She had to get up for school anyway. Entangled in her cotton sheeting, she carefully tossed them off her fevered limbs and got up. Bare feet tapping against the bare rug. Stumbling a bit, over to her closer she hurried and picked out her outfit for the day. She decided on a green shirt, black vest, green and pink skirt and matching pink boots. Lil shedded her PJ clothing and started to dress when she heard her mother yelp to see if the twins were awake. She heard a thumping noise come out of her brother's room which was across the hall. "Yea, mom! I'm awake!"

A nimble finger poked the flesh upon Kimi Finster's forehead as they rod the bus that moment. Thomas Pickles sat beside her. As the girl who was leaning against him had fallen asleep, with his arm linked around his rather tenderly. He grinned a bit, and sighed. He leaned back and watched the leaves dance among the sidewalks in neat patterns as they rode from corner to corner. He closed his eyes, and listened to her breathe. Lil watched from a seat behind, and rested her head against the windowpane. She had her headphones on, trying to drown out the dream she could still so vividly remember. She was listening to a pure instrumental soundtrack of favorites. 'How cute a couple they make.. her and Tommy I just wish...' They hit a speed bump, and Lil eagerly lost control of her thoughts.

She heard a laugh from the seat behind her. It was muffled, but it sounded like her twin cracking a joke to the boy in the next seat. She sighed, and continued to drown in music until the bus pulled to a creeching halt. Kids from the back rushed up to climb out the door. Kimi woke up, and nearly reeled into the front of the bar. Tommy grabbed her arm, keeping her back until they were able to stand up. Lil gathered her things, and proceeded with care off the bus. A girl slipped out, and nearly bumped into Lil. Lil just smiled, and let her go ahead. "Hey, Lily." The black haired girl turned to spot her friend. "Oh, Lil! Hello." Her blue eyes sparkled with excitment. She was one of Kimi and Lil's best friends. "Didn't see you.." Her dark pupils softened. Lily brightened, as she stepped off the bus with her. "You know. The halloween dance is coming up. Think Chuckie'll ask you?" They crossed the road heading into the doors of the high school. Lil felt herself blush. "W-what?" Lily tapped her shoulder. "I have every class with you. I watch the way you two act around each other!" Lil just laughed nervously.

Yet, she did actually hope he would ask her. She paused outside a flyer pinned to the door. "Halloween dance, hmm."
