The Gang's all here.
Icy Cold Again.
Lilly was still sitting on the floor gently rocking backwards and forward. She had not stopped whispering her song and again her eyes hardly blinked. The salty tears still poured down her cheeks, Chris was wondering how that she wasn't dehydrated she had lost so much water through crying. Victor, Bee, Garfield, Rachel and Richard had all gone back to school but Kori and Chris refused to leave her side, they were worried that if she was left alone she would do something stupid.
"I wish she would speak instead of singing that same dam song!" Chris sighed when she started again with the tune. Lilly briefly took her eyes off the wall and looked at Chris when he said that. She shut her mouth and was completely silent. Not one sound came from her.
"Lilly?" Kori said anxiously when she started to look around the room quickly wall from wall. In her mind she saw 'Fat Bitch' scrawled on the walls and everywhere she looked she could see the same two words. Whenever Chris or Kori said something her ears only heard them calling her. She opened her mouth to scream but nothing came out but a long outtake of breath.
"Lilly, please talk to us. Anything saw anything. Sing again but please speak!"
Lilly looked straight ahead again and began to open and close her mouth but no sound came out, until you could hear her under her breath and soon she was whispering 'Fat Bitch.' Over and over again and it was slowly picking up volume. Soon she was talking normally and then it was getting slightly louder until she was screaming it on top of her lungs. Chris had to put his hand over her mouth so she wouldn't attract any unwanted attention from people outside. Lilly carried on screaming until she cried herself to sleep. Chris and Kori both audibly sighed when she finally dozed off. Her head was in Chris's lap and he was slowing running his hand through her hair. Kori held onto her hand. With her free hand Kori texted Richard.
Hya Richard, Lilly has finally fallen asleep, but not b4 she screamed the place down. I am v. worried bout her. Txt bck plz Kori xx
Richard was in history when his phone went off; luckily he was at the back so Mr. Mod couldn't see if he was playing on his phone or not. He read it replied and told everyone else about Lilly.
Hi, im in Hist. Is Lilly going to be ok? What should I say if Miss Bates comes 2 gt her? Is Chris still there? Txt bck Rich x
I hope Lilly will b fine. Tell her tht Lilly went home ill. Chris is still here, he won't leave her! I will b comin bck in soon. C ya xx
Rit c u in a min xx
Kori closed her phone and smiled weakly at Chris who was determined that to get every little knot out of Lilly's hair. Kori squeezed Lilly's hand before standing up and stretching her back to get all the kinks out. Chris had his eyes fixed onto Lilly's face that was still shiny from her tears.
"I am going to head back into school, are you going to stay here for when she wakes up?"
Chris nodded his head but didn't take his eyes of Lilly's face.
"Right see you soon. Here is my number if anything happens text me. Okay?"
Chris nodded his head again. Kori put the piece of paper on the desk with her number scribbled roughly on it. Kori sighed before she left the room. She walked back to school and went into drama where Rachel was waiting for her. Because Rachel wasn't in history she didn't hear Richard tell the others about Lilly so Kori had to explain to Rachel what happened. Luckily the scene they were rehearsing wasn't one with Roy and Aaron, they refused to even look at them, they only time Rachel even saw then both was when she went up and slapped them both.
It was getting half way through history when there was a knock on the door. Miss Bates came through the door and when her eyes scanned the room and she didn't see Lilly she raised an eyebrow. Bee gave Miss Bates and hard glare, so she would ask to speak to Bee.
"I see that Lilly Bourne isn't here, so may I take Miss. Beaker for a moment please?"
Mr Mod nodded and Bee got off her seat and walked up to the new teacher.
"Bethany is it?"
"Yes Miss."
"I will only need you for a moment." Bee nodded then followed Miss Bates outside.
"Okay, where is Lilly?"
"She went home."
"Why?"
"First of all why do you always take Lilly out of her lessons? And make up phoney excuses?"
"That doesn't concern you, now why did she go home?"
"Ill."
Miss Bates knew that she wasn't going to get any information out of Bethany so she sent her back into class and made her way out of the school and to Lilly's house.
Lilly was stirring in Chris's lap. She opened one of her eyes and he saw that her beautiful blue eyes had faded down to the grey, he was disappointed with this but it couldn't have been helped. When he smiled at Lilly she just sighed and put her arms around Chris's waist. They heard a knock at the door. Chris got up to go and answer it and saw that Miss Bates entered; she stalked past Chris and stomped quickly upstairs to Lilly's room.
"Lilly? You must come back to school at once." Chris came in and saw that Miss was picking Lilly up and practically dragging her to the door, Lilly put up no resistance, she was too tired to do anything.
"You can't take Lilly back into school while she is like that!" Chris said but Miss Bates ignored him.
"We were so close to finding out the first thing Lilly, you can't give up now, we are so close."
"So close to what? I demand to know what you are talking about!" but Miss Bates still pretended that Chris wasn't even there. She made Lilly pick up her bag, plaster a fake smile on her face and marched her out of the door. Chris just looked wide-eyed as Lilly was so manipulated; he wasn't going to stand for this he ran after them.
"Wait! Lilly are you sure that you are well enough to go into school?" Chris said in a concerned voice. But Lilly just turned on him sharply her cold eyes looked into his and the fake smile was so wide it was unnatural.
"I am fine Chris, I am not a little girl. It was stupid of me to do that anyway!" she said. Chris was taken aback by the tone of voice she used, it was so strong and confident, but he didn't like it one bit.
"Oh okay, you wanna come round to mine tonight?"
"Whatever, I don't mind." She said before she turned into the school. Chris knew he should be happy that she had got some confidence but he was sure that she now had no heart, well she might have a heart but it was made of ice. He had to melt away the pain and anger to get his Lilly back before she hurt someone. He thought that if Roy or Aaron or anyone in that fact who looked at her funny might not have any arms anymore. He bit his lip when she stalked into history, she even told Miss Bates to shove of and come back later. Miss wasn't going to get in an argument with her so she just nodded and went away. She went to sit down, and Chris sat beside her. Kitten giggled really loudly when Lilly walked in so at the end of the lesson, while Kitten was walking out Lilly grabbed a hand full of straight blonde hair and pulled on it. Kitten screamed with pain as Lilly practically pulled her hair out.
"Laugh at me again, and you will be bald." She said evilly Katrina just nodded and ran off when Lilly had let go of her grip on her hair. Everyone raised an eyebrow at Lilly's behaviour. Then they all looked at Chris who explained what he thinks had happened. They all agreed that, that was what has happened.
"Are you okay Lilly?"
"Would people stop fussing! I am fine!" she said but she stalked off to their next lesson. In drama Roy and Aaron have been told to go to their normal lessons because they weren't needed. Roy and Aaron was waiting outside of the room when Lilly came around they corner on her own because she speed walked. Roy and Aaron smiled mischievously at Lilly but she replied back giving them an evil grin.
"Hiya Fat Bitch"
"Not heard that one before."
"Facing the truth?"
"I am but are you?"
"Where did you get your confidence?"
"Why would I tell you?"
"Cocky Bitch!"
"So I am cocky now as well?"
"Shut up fatty."
"I am feeling so depressed by that" she said sarcastically and she rolled her eyes. Roy and Aaron were wide eyed at how calm Lilly was and that she was actually back chatting.
"I don't like your attitude."
"When I care, I will tell you, don't expect anything soon." She said and smiled at their dumb struck faces.
It was then, that Chris walked around the corner. Chris made his eyes into slits when he saw Roy and Aaron talking to her, but knew that she wouldn't breakdown again. She would probably kill them first.
"Look, its your boyfriend!" they said pointing behind her.
"I know"
"How?"
"I am not stupid! Aaron incase you have forgotten, you are wearing sunglasses. I can see him standing behind me in the reflection!" Lilly said and she put her hand behind her and grabbed his hand, to pull him to her side. Chris noticed that her hands were icy cold at the touch.
"Hi Lilly, how are you feeling?"
"I thought I told you and the others to stop asking me that."
"Oh yeah, sorry Lilly."
"I was right about Chris you know Lilly, he is really pissed off that you can't tell him."
"No!" Chris shouted and he looked really angry. He glanced down at Lilly's face to see it was calm; she had one eyebrow raised and a smug grin across her face.
"No the only thing you were right about was that the truth hurts."
Roy just scowled at her before he walked away with Aaron. Lilly turned to her right and hugged Chris. He was sure she did a silent sigh but he wasn't sure. He just hugged back and hoped that soon she would melt her heart so she would be back to normal, instead of so angry at everything.
At the end of the day Lilly was almost acting normally but she still acted slightly cold towards people. Chris was sure she had forgotten that she was supposed to come round to his house but when he was beginning to walk off Lilly dashed after him.
"Wait!"
"So you are coming to my house then?"
"Of course I am!" she said and she let Chris lace his fingers with hers as they walked slowly back to Chris's house. Kori, Rachel and Garfield were going around to Richard's for a while. Victor had already said that he was going to Bee's house to help her revise for a test.
"Sorry you guys but I got to revise!"
"And I said I would help her, well we start of revising but after that, only god knows" Victor said jokingly but Bee just hit is arm playfully.
"You would be lucky to get any kisses from me tonight."
"NOOOO!" Victor screeched on the top of his lungs before laughing his head off. Bee just shook her head and dragged Victor off before he made an even more embarrassment to himself. As they watched bee turn a corner with a still laughing Victor getting dragged behind her, a black Merc came round the corner.
"Alf's here."
"I think we could tell, Richard" Rachel said quietly. Richard just did a lopsided grin at her and put his arm around Kori. Alfred pulled over, and everyone scrambled into the back seats, it was abit squashed but nobody minded. In the end they just Richard and Garfield sitting on the leather, Rachel and Kori sat on their laps. Alfred caught Richards eye and winked, Richard pulls his tongue at him, and Alfred raised his eyebrow before focussing back on the road. Soon they were all piling into the hall of Richard's mansion. They all looked around as someone cleared their throat. They saw that Bruce was standing on the stairs. He had his sleek black suit on and his hair that was black was slicked to the side. Both girls had to admit he looked pretty handsome, with his muscular jaw and toned body. Bruce forced his jaw into a smile when he saw Richard had his friends over, Bruce and Richard never really got on very well. Everybody knew that somewhere deep down the loved each other but they were always bickering about something.
"Hello Dick, and his friends of course."
"Bruce" Richard said but it was forced, Bruce just smiled at Richard's face. Bruce knew Richard hated being called Dick, but he loved his face when he called him that so he continued.
"So what will you be doing with your friend this evening, Dick?"
"Probably videogames." Richard said, it looked as if he had a nervous twitch in his eye. Bruce being the ultimate playboy of Gotham looked at Kori and Rachel in turn.
"Might I say that you both look fabulous, Kori and Rachel?" they were both used to Bruce so this didn't faze them.
"Thank you Bruce" Rachel said calmly but Kori always liked to be polite to Bruce because of his structure in society.
"Thank you Mr Wayne." She said and Bruce smiled at her sweet smile when she says that.
"How many times do I have to tell you Kori, please call me Bruce." He said but Richard had lost his patience.
"I would love to stand here all day and talk about Bruce but I want to show my friends that there is another part to his mansion then just the people who live here!" he said, they all looked at him but just smiled then looked at Bruce who looked highly amused with Richard's sudden outburst.
"We cannot help it, if people here are highly interesting, all of you are!" Kori said in a cute, small voice. Richard's heart did a flip when she talks normally but when she puts on that voice it does a triple forward flips double back flips and quadruple twist combo.
"Some more than others" Bruce said and that brought Richard back to the room instead from another world. Richard just scowled at him and pushed his friends up the stairs to his room. Bruce scowled back but smiled at his friends as they were shoved into Richard's dark room. Richard never had a tidy desk, the whole room was spic and span but his desk was littered with lots of papers, magazines and newspaper clippings. He switched on his light and the dull red light illuminated his room.
"Dude, how can you survive in the dark?" Gar exclaimed after he just walked head first into a wall.
"I know where the walls are, and my eyes are used to the dark, remember I wear sunglasses twenty four seven!" he said as he pointed to his glasses. Rachel's eyes had become adjusted to the darkness as Garfield started to walk over to her; he banged his leg on the bed, tripped over a chair and stumbled of a small table straight into Rachel.
"Just stay still Garfield!" she shouted as he just jumped into her arms.
"And get out of my arms" she said Garfield slowly got down and stood close by her side to make sure that he didn't do anything else stupid. Kori knew his room off by heart so she didn't have any trouble finding her way round to the bed where she flopped down and sighed. Rachel joined her by sitting on the edge of the bed. Richard was looking for something in his cupboard, after a while he brought out two controllers then he plugged them into the game station and turned the wide screen TV on. When it turned on it put a whole new bright white light around the room. Garfield jumped and hid behind Rachel, who just brought him in front of her and put her arms around his waist.
"The light is way too bright! Richard how can you look straight into that light?"
"It is dimmed out, I wear sunglasses!" he said as Garfield lent back into Rachel's shoulder.
"Oh yeah I forgot!"
"Okay, Garfield versus Rachel! Kori plays winner."
"Whatever" Rachel said pushing Garfield out the way she sat Indian style on the floor while Garfield laid down on his stomach so his eyes were a few inches away from the screen.
"Have you turned blind Garfield?"
"No why?"
"Then sit abit further away from the screen!" Rachel said impatiently. Garfield had taught her how to play a few of his videogames but she didn't really see the point of it. Why sit down and stare at a screen when you can sit down and write a depressing poem? But Garfield loved his videogames so in the end she gave in and let him teach her. Garfield sighed a moved about two centimetres back from where he was before, Rachel rolled her eyes and grabbed the back of his top and yanked him back so he was sitting right beside her.
"Humph" he said but he eyes suddenly widened as the racing game began. Rachel wasn't very good at racing games, at shooting and army games she was great but she couldn't control the car properly. Garfield shot off into the lead, and Rachel had only just figured out which button makes the car go forward.
"I am so going to beat up Rachel, you have no chance."
"Oh no, I think I might just suffer from depression if I don't win this game." She said but she was getting frustrated that this was the fifth time she had crashed.
"HA HA, I am the champion! You haven't even done the first lap yet Rachel."
"I don't care. Kay Kori its you against Garfield…Kori?" Rachel said, when she didn't hear an answer they both turned to find Richard and Kori in a lip lock on the bed. Rachel was just going to leave them, and let them get on with it, but Garfield isn't so nice.
"OI! You two, stop playing tonsil tennis and start playing!" Kori and Richard broke it off and they both looked at Garfield with small smiles on their recently kissed lips. Rachel just raised an eyebrow and passed her controller to Kori who took it and sat down in-between Rachel and Garfield. Rachel and Richard were cheering on Kori while Garfield was cheering himself on.
"Go on Kori, you can beat that grass stain!"
"You will beat Gar, easy peasy!" Rachel said, she was trying to sound excited but she failed.
"GO GAR GO GAR!" Garfield shouted to himself, in the end Kori lost because she got too occupied with looking at Richard instead of the screen.
Chris un-locked his door and let himself and Lilly in. Lilly dumped her bag by the door and slung her jacket down over the top of it.
"So what do you want to do?"
"Its your house you decide, I don't care." Lilly said while looking in the mirror, she was smiling when she was speaking but when her eyes scanned her reflection her smiled turned slowly into a straight line with no expression then a slight frown. In the end she looked mildly depressed. Chris was studying her reactions to things and when Lilly noticed, she quickly put on the fake smile again, but her eyes told the whole story not her gleaming white teeth.
"Okay, well do you want to watch TV?" Chris suggested. Lilly just nodded and went into his living room and sat down on the sofa. Chris turned the TV on and got the remote control, then sat down beside her. Lilly sat up straight as her eyes studied the screen, Chris pulled her closer, she was as stiff as a pillar at first but she relaxed finally and slumped into his embrace. Chris couldn't tell if Lilly had gone to sleep or not.
"Tiger?"
"…" He heard nothing, so he presumed that she had fallen asleep, but when he carried on watching the TV her body was shaking. He turned volume right down and heard that she was again silently crying. He pushed her off so he could look at her face and saw that she was asleep but the tear poured down her cheeks. Chris just pulled her towards him again and hugged her until her body stopped shaking. He looked back at her face, as she opened her eyes again.
"Was I crying again?" Lilly said quietly and she sighed when Chris nodded his head.
"You must think I am pathetic." She said while she looked away from him. Chris was in two minds. He should be sad that she has gone back to her quiet self and that she didn't have any confidence. But in the other hand he was glad that he had finally melted her heart and got her back from hell. He knew that in her mind she must feel like a hurricane has ripped through all her memories, thoughts and feelings. Chris studied her again and noticed that she had zoned out, she was staring at wall. He was deciding whether to interrupt her thought or leave her. He was just about to open his mouth when Lilly turned around at him. He looked into her eyes and the strangest thing happened.
Her eyes were flickering from the blue and the grey. He mouth was twitching from a smile and a frown. He was totally scared by Lilly's face that he had to close his eyes. Her face was showing all her emotions, all the good times, all the bad times all at the same time. Her mind couldn't decide on what emotion to show. When he opened his eyes Lilly had gone. He looked quickly around the room but Lilly seemed to have disappeared. He got off the sofa and ran to the door, her bag and coat were still there and the door was closed, she couldn't have run out of the house. He went on a search for her, he found her in his room, sitting on the floor hiding her face. When he walked up to her she looked at his face, her eyes hadn't stopped switching colours but her mouth was a permanent frown.
"Am I that ugly?" she whispered.
"No, why?"
"When you looked at me, you had to close your eyes, could you not stand looking at me?"
"No, I was just scared because…"
"Because I am a monster." She said quietly, Chris looked at her as she curled up in a small ball. He put his arm around her and let her cry again on his shoulder. When she had finished she was almost back to normal, as in when she first arrived at the school, no confidence, not going to speak. They were going to have to build up her confidence again. Chris was going to have to be her armour for a while.
Lilly briefly brushed her lips against his before she grabbed her bags and walked slowly back to her house, Chris offered to walk her back but Lilly refused and said not to bother. Chris went back upstairs and looked at the piece of paper in his pocket, Kori's mobile number. He decided to text her to tell her what had happened.
They had finished their tournament and Richard had won, nobody could beat him except Victor and he wasn't here so Richard was crowned king. As a reward he got a kiss of the girl of his choice. Rachel and Garfield were waiting five minutes before Kori and Richard came back in.
"How was your five minutes in heaven?"
"Glorious!" Kori exclaimed
"Tongue tiring" Richard said and grinned at Gar while the girls just glared at him. Garfield winked then started jumping up and down and tugging on Rachel's sleeve.
"I want five minutes in heaven too!" he said but Rachel just stopped him from bouncing.
"You didn't win. You are a loser so…you get seven minutes in heaven." She said and pulled Garfield into the room where Kori and Richard had just left. Garfield just did a wide grin and winked at Kori who was rolling her eyes. Richard put his thumbs up just before Rachel smiled at them both and closed the door after them. Seven minutes later Rachel came out flattening out her hair and Garfield followed her putting the top back over his head, his green hair was in an even more of a mess, but his smile was wider than ever.
"Enjoy it?"
"You bet."
Garfield couldn't stop smiling while they made their way downstairs to have some dinner. Alfred raised his eyebrow at Garfield's hair, and his top that was on back to front but said nothing.
