Hey everybody! This is the 12th chapter of What if?! I have already started
writing the sequel Journeys End. Even though parts are written, I will not
post them until I've posted all the chapters of What if. Enough chit-chat.
On with the show!
Bit: Yay! A sequel! What's this I hear about a new fic? Don't you love us anymore Licorice?
Licorice: Of course I love you guys. The new fic is called Unspoken Truths. It's about Raven and his travels. Not to mention his love for Reese. It should be posted soon. I suggest that everyone read it.
Bit: Okay. I'll spread the word around. Anyways, on with the show!
"Yay! It's Saturday! No school!"
Those who were sleeping woke up due to Katie's yelling. Steven started to stand up but remembered that Lily was asleep in his arms.
"You awake?"
"Yeah."
"You feeling ok. You sound sick."
"I'm okay." Steven didn't believe her. Her eyes were cloudy and her skin was hot and moist with perspiration. Steven let go of her and stood up. He walked up to Naomi.
"Hey Nom." Naomi stood up.
"What is it?"
"Lily's sick. You think you can fix her something to eat?"
"Of course. How is she sick?"
"The main reason is that she was freezing last night until I held her close to keep her warm."
"What's the other reason?"
"Bit."
"How?"
"Remember when they were younger? How close they were?"
"Yeah."
"Now Bit has Leena. He doesn't need Lily to keep him company anymore. He has left her all alone."
"Oh. I see. How are you doing? You seem kinda down lately."
"Nothing." Her look told him that she didn't believe him. "It's because of me and Viv isn't it?"
"Why would it be?"
"Your feeling left out because I have Brad and Viv has Jaime."
"How'd you know?"
"Because I know you."
"True."
"One last thing. You need to trust Jaime. He really does love Viv."
"Yeah. You know, Brad told me the same thing."
"Then it must be true."
"I guess so."
Naomi starts cooking breakfast. Steven walks over to Lily and sits down next to her.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"No."
"Want to talk about it?"
"You wouldn't understand."
"Maybe I would."
"How could you?"
"It's Bit aint it?"
"How'd you know?"
"I have the same thing going on with Naomi and Violet."
"Oh. That's right."
"Listen Lily. You're always welcome to come over and talk to me or Naomi. I'm sure that Naomi will be the best of help to you though. She really good at this relationship stuff. She always has been. Don't hesitate to ask her or me. You're always welcome to join in on anything I'm doing. I know we haven't been the best of friends but I'd like to change that."
"Ok. I might you and Naomi up on your offer one of these days."
"Breakfast is ready y'all!"
Steven stands up and holds his hand out towards Lily.
"Here. Let me help ya' up."
Lily grabs his hand. Steven pulls her up.
"Thanks."
"Your welcome."
