Lil knocked on the door of Tommy's house.

Didi answered the door.

"Hello, Lil! How nice to see you!"

"Hi, Mrs. Pickles. Is Tommy around?"

Didi frowned. "He hasn't been home all day. I think he went over Chuckie's house. He should be back anytime now, seeing as he isn't sleeping over. Why don't you come in and wait in his room?"

Lil followed Didi into the house.

"We just finished eating dinner. Did you eat yet, sweetie?"

Lil nodded. "I actually ate over Angelica's house."

"Oh! Wonderful. DIL!" Didi called.

Momentarily, Dil showed up beside his mother.

"Why don't you bring Lil upstairs? She's going to wait until Tommy comes home."

"Okey-dokey, mom. Come on Lil." Dil dragged Lil up the stairs and took her into Tommy's room. But Dil didn't leave right away like Lil thought he would.

"Um...Dil?" Lil asked, her voice as sweet as ever.

"Yeah?"

"Aren't you going to leave?"

"Do you want me to?" Dil asked her.

"No, it's just, I'm surprised you haven't left. Aren't you mad at me?"

"Why would I be mad at you?"

"Everyone else is. I mean, I've been a complete witch to everyone."

"Lil, you haven't really been that bad to me and whatever brought about the changes, I'm sure it was for a reason. People don't just change and snub their friends just because. Anyway, I'm not mad at you, but I think that Tommy might be."

Lil stared at Dil. He was always so sweet and understanding. That's just who he was.

"Thanks Dil." Lil said softly.

"No prob. But I do have to leave now. I have a space alien movie marathon to watch with my dad. C'ya."

"It is Saturday night. I hope you have fun Dil." Lil laughed.

Dil left Lil alone sitting on Tommy's bed. It was already seven-twenty. So, Lil decided to make herself comfortable.

At about eight-o-clock, she heard the front door open and slam shut. She heard Didi's voice.

"Tommy! Where were you? You're filthy!"

"Sorry mom. I was at the park playing football with Marley."

The next thing Lil heard were footsteps stomping up the stairs. She saw the doorknob turn and a very sweaty looking Tommy step into his room.

'Boy, I never realized how hot he is!' Lil said to herself as he took of his shirt. His hair was matted down due to the sweat.

It was dark in Tommy's room. He turned around at the sound of Lil's cough.

"What are you doing here?" He asked her, not really cold, but not friendly either.

"Is that the way everyone's greeting me now?" She half teased.

Tommy stared at her. "I asked you what you were doing in my room, Lil." Lil felt her stomach flutter. She never felt so attracted before.

"I was...actually...um-"

"C'mon, Lil. When was the last time you were at a loss for words?"

Lil walked over towards Tommy and sat on his bed. He was tossing a football in the air.

"Phil told me what you did." Lil said softly. "I guess I just wanted to thank you for it."

Tommy sat down next to her on the bed.

"I don't get you Lil. I mean, we used to get each other so well. I really thought that we might have something going. I don't know. I just thought that you would atleast tell someone what happened to you." Tommy's voice was now soft as well.

"I know, Tommy. I just didn't want anyone thinking I wanted him to do that to me. I really didn't want him to Tommy. I tried to make him stop, I swear I did!" Lil was forcing the emotion inside of her to stay bottled up. She did not want to have a breakdown in front of Tommy.

Tommy cupped Lil's face in his hands. "Look at me, Lil."

"I can't." She told him.

"Yes you can. Look at me." Lil looked into Tommy's face.

"You and I both know that you didn't ask for this to happen. Brett is a sick pig. He never should have done that to you. And, no matter what happens, I'll make sure that he never does it to you again."

"Tommy-"

"Sshhhh." Tommy hushed her. "Don't say anything."

Tommy leaned in close to Lil. Lil was sweating like mad. She could feel his breath on her face. She could practically taste him. She never realized how much she wanted this to happen until now.

Tommy's lips closed in on Lil's. His fingers swept through her hair and his other arm held her back in support.

After what felt like an eternity, they pulled apart.

"First kiss." Lil breathed.

Tommy nodded, his eyes intent on Lil's face. He pulled her in for another kiss. This time, it was a little more aggressive, but still gentle. Tommy pulled Lil on top of his lap. He laid back on his bed and pulled Lil on top of him.

"Tommy-"Lil managed to breath.

Tommy interrupted her with another kiss. He started to unbutton her shirt.

"Tommy, I don't know if this is-"

Tommy looked at her with his gorgeous eyes.

"Whatever you want, Lil." He whispered. "We'll go at your pace."

Lil nodded. Tommy smiled and continued to undo her shirt. He wasn't going to be like Brett. If Lil wanted him to stop, he would stop.

Tommy and Lil spent the whole night in Tommy's room and in his bed. That was the night that Tommy lost his virginity and Lil felt completely safe in someone else's arms.
