I DON'T OWN RUGRATS!!! :o)

Lil:

Tommy and me exchanged confused faces at what Kimi had written on chat. 'Just took away his twin and best friend.' The words echoed in my mind, as Tommy wrapped me in a hug. I suddenly started crying, salty tears running down my pink cheeks. "Tommy," I asked between sobs, "What did I do?" Tommy looked at me in concern. "You did nothing angel." He replied, stroking my hand. "Its Just Phil. He's been having a rough time, Kimi told me. She said that she went round your house the other day, whilst you were with me, and he had bottles and cans of alcohol and cigarettes littering your room." I gasped and suddenly fury rushed into my mind. I sat up and slapped Tommy. "Why?" I screamed. "Why didn't you tell me?" Tommy put a hand up to his cheek where a big mark was forming. "I only found out this morning." He mumbled. "It completely slipped my mind, but Lil, you know I would NEVER ever try to hurt you, I love you." Tears returned to my eyes, partly because I knew Tommy really did love me, partly because I knew I'd lost my best friend Kimi, and partly because Phil was in trouble. I fell into his arms whispering, "I'm sorry Tommy. Please forgive me for hurting you." "Of course I forgive you Lillian. I know that what you did was a sudden reaction to all the emotions hurtling through your mind." I began to giggle. "Tommy," I laughed, "Where did THAT come from?" "What?" He said innocently. "THAT! The emotion stuff! I barely understood that, let alone you!" He began to laugh and we hugged tightly. When we drew away, I said, "I'm going to see Phillip now." "Ok, see you at school tomorrow!" He said. "Bye!" I cried as I closed the red front door.

I passed the neat hedges, and freshly cut grass, as I turned the key in the lock. I made my way up to our bedroom and knocked gently on the door. "Phil?" I whispered. "Phillip I know you're in there." I opened the door and gasped to find the room empty. I hurtled down the stairs, almost killing myself as I slipped on some of my dad's motorbike magazines, and charged into the living room. "Mum, Dad!" I yelled. They were sitting on the couch eating crisps and watching some soap. "Shh Lil" My mum whispered. " Peter's about to announce his love for Amelia." "What?" I cried. "Anyway where's Phil?" "He's gone to stay over at Kimi's." My Mum said, not taking her eyes off the screen. "He said something about a sister who doesn't care for him." I glared at my mum for no reason, but then grasped the phone from its holder, and dialled Kimi's mobile number. The phone rang a couple of times and then Kimi answered.

"What Lil." "Kimi I NEED to talk to Phil." "Well guess what Lil. He doesn't want to talk to YOU." "But Kimi- "I said he doesn't want to talk to you! Your better off with Tommy, Me and Phil are fine together." "But- "GOODBYE!"

I gritted my teeth as I heard the beeping that continued after she had cancelled her call. I had to go round to Kimi's - NOW.

"I'm going to see Kimi!" I yelled at my mum and dad as I slipped on my Burberry sandals. "But Lil, its almost 10!" My dad shouted back. "PLEASE!" I cried. "Go on Lil, but be back by 10:30." My mum bellowed. "thanks" I said as I entered the chilly breeze. It was dark, being the winter months and the stars twinkled brightly in the night sky. I hurried along the pavement, my sandals making a slapping noise against the stone paving slabs. The noise echoed eerily in the quiet night, and I was happy to reach Kimi's house. I knocked gingerly on the large door, and winced at what could await me inside. Kimi's mum opened the door and gave me a sort of half smile. "Uhh hi Lillian. . ." She trailed off, but then muttered, "I'm not sure Kimi is going to be that happy to see you, but you can try and see her if you like." "Yes please." I said, staring at the floor uncomfortably. She opened the door and walked into the kitchen, as I made my way up the stairs.

I knocked unhappily on the door. I knew whatever she said to me, I deserved. I had been oblivious to how other people would feel towards Tommy and I. "Come in!" I heard Kimi's voice light and sunny. I was surprised, and knew she probably thought I was her mum or dad. I opened the door gingerly and looked at Kimi and Phil seated on the floor playing battleships. "You sunk my battleship!" Kimi cried and they laughed together, like a real couple. Then Kimi turned round and didn't look the least bit surprised to see me. "Oh hi Lil!" She said cheerily. "Me and Phil are playing battleships, wanna play?" "Uhh" I stuttered, completely stumped as to why they were being so friendly, as Phil himself was smiling cheekily at me. "What, umm, uh what happened?" I mumbled. Kimi looked confused and then smiled happily. "oh about what happened on the phone? Sorry about that, I was blind then." Now I was the one looking confused. "Blind?" I said. "Not literally!" She grinned. "Phil and I have now opened our eyes and know that we can survive easily without YOU because we have each other." And they leaned in towards each other and kissed romantically. I felt such pain as I saw them lock lips, and I knew this was how Phil felt when I was with Tommy. They departed and grinned nicely at me, although it felt as though their cheesy smiles were burning a hole through my stomach and out my back. I suddenly saw red for the second time that evening, and pointed a finger sharply at Phil. "You cannot survive without me Phillip Deville!" I yelled. "You were moping about like nobody's business when I was with Tommy!" "True." He said calmly and nodding. "But as Kimi says I've opened my eyes. No one needs you Lillian. No one except Tommy. Nobody needs you now." I gasped, hearing the words from my brothers mouth. Then they quietly continued their game of battleships, laughing occasionally. I then slammed the door ran down the stairs and out of the Finster household.

My sandals made the same slapping noise as before, but I was oblivious to it now, as I charged down the main road. I was holding in my tears as I ran, knowing that I deserved what they'd said but still couldn't believe it had happened.

I ran up the stone steps and slipped my key back into the lock. I cried to my mum and dad, " I'm going to bed. See you in the morning" before stampeding upstairs and locking myself in the bathroom. I stared at my pale face, my red lipstick standing out terribly and my black mascara streaming down my cheeks. My eyes were glassy, all the salty tears inside. I blinked suddenly, and the tears overflowed, brimming on my lower eyelid and drops on the end of my eyelashes. I hid my face in my hands, hardly daring to believe that when I woke up that morning I had felt peaceful and happy, and now feeling awful pain and sadness. I lent down and turned the silver taps on the bath, hoping a calming wash would take away some of the pain.

When the bath was full, I slipped in and poured some of my special cherry bubble bath into the foamy water, the stuff I only used on special occasions. I leant back and closed my eyes, tears leaking out at the sides. "Lillian what have you done." I murmured to myself as I gently washed my arms and legs with some soap. When I had dried myself properly, I slipped on my beige silk dressing gown, and cleaned my teeth. I then pulled the plug from the bath, and went into my bedroom. My heart ached seeing Phil's empty bunk, and I sighed as I made my way over to the PC. I logged onto the internet to see if any of my pals were on there, not that they'd want to speak to me. I quickly made a list in my head to see who actually hated me. Phil hated me because I left him. Kimi hated me because I left Phil. Chuckie would hate me because he's Kimi's brother. Suzie would hate me because she's good mates with Chuckie and he's her ex. Angelica would probably hate me for the sake of it, and Tommy was the only one who loved me.

I then logged onto my local chat room.

I gasped and then pulled myself together. The answer had been there all along, but I hadn't even noticed it. Split from Tommy? But I love him. I slipped on my pale purple nightgown with flowers on, and turned off the computer and the light. I crawled onto my bunk and curled up in a little ball. I lay awake for a very long time. Thinking.
