Coming Close

~Lilly's POV~

"What did Christine say when you told her?" I asked my mother as we waited for the principal to call us into his office.

"Same thing I said. But," she waved her hand and shook her head. "No hablemos más." She told me in Spanish.

She was right, we shouldn't be talking right now. Ears are everywhere. I nodded in agreement.

So, in order to get a week off of my suspension, I, along with my legal guardian, had to meet with not just the principal but with Lindsay and her parents. At first I was completely confused because I thought Lindsay's step dad was in fact the principal. Nope. Just like April said, Lindsay's mother is just sleeping with the principal in order to help Lindsay whenever she need it. I wonder how she's going to get through life if her mommy does everything for her. Unfortunately I can't tell Lindsay how I actually feel about her, I have to show that I am sincerely sorry... She's the one that started it, and I have to apologize. Okay.

When the door opened, I nudged my mother's leg with my own as three people walked through them. I looked away and covered my mouth to hide the smirk on my face when I saw Lindsay's face. One bruised eye and busted lip... If she's so tough, wonder why I only have a scratch on my cheek.

"Jesus Lillian," my mother said, covering her face as well. "You fucked her up."

"I'm trying not to pay attention." I grunted, nudging her legs once more.

A man walked straight over to my mother, "Hello," What a douche bag. "My name is Gerald, this is my wife Veronica. You're this young lady's mother I presume."

My mother stood from her seat and grabbed his hand when he offered it. "Aniya." I stood up and leaned into my mother like a child, she wrapped her arms around me.

"I assume your husband will be joining us shortly." He said.

I looked down at the floor, these people dude.

My mother just smiled, "Unfortunately, he will not." She said giving my shoulders a reassuring squeeze. "It's just me this time."

Gerald nodded, "Very well,"

What's the matter Veronica? Cat got your tongue, bitch?

"Oh good, everyone's here." The principal said, coming out of his office. He waved us over, his wide smile sort of wavering when he saw Lindsay's dad.

We all walked over into the office, Lindsay's mother giving the principal a wink and a soft smile behind her husbands back. What a puta. In the room there was four seats. Lindsay's family family sat down quickly while my mother and I were trying to figure out how we were going to split one seat between the two of us.

"Sit mom, I'll stand behind you." I whispered to her. She nodded.

The principal shut the door behind us and came around to his desk, trying his best not to seem pissed. "Alright, so I called this meeting because we can not have this kind of energy here. Physical violence is never okay, no matter what the circumstance is. And we have a zero tolerance for violence and bullying here." Okay. Fucking lie. There's only one bully in this fucking office and it definitely ain't me. "Your daughter doesn't feel safe and I'm going to do my best to fix that."

My mother crossed her legs and sighed, she was already annoyed just like I was.

"This started, I was told, because of a boy that both you girls like." Who said that?! "Now, Lillian, I have talked with David and he has chosen to be with Lindsay. I hope you can understand that."

I shrugged, "I do. And I don't care. I don't like him."

"Then why are you always talking to him?" Lindsay suddenly spoke. I should have ripped her vocal cords out.

"I didn't know that once you start dating someone they're not allowed to talk to anyone else." I snapped, my mother turned slightly to give me a tiny glare.

"When it's an ex, yeah, you shouldn't talk to him." Bitch he's not your property, the fuck?

Veronica chuckled, "Its alright dear. That's passed now."

Lindsay rolled her eyes and pouted. Remember why you got that fat ass lip bitch. Keep talking.

"Now," the principal continued, "A boy is not something to fight for. It never is," his eyes shifted to Lindsay's mother. "A girl however..." Lindsay's mother's eyes widened before she gave him a nervous smile. "Um... Lillian, do you have anything you want to say?"

Here's where I have to swallow my pride and apologize. "I'm not a fighter. This was the first fight I ever had. And I regret that our...argument had to end in us fighting." I said softly, placing my two hands on the back of my mother's chair and squeezing the chair until my knuckles turned white.

My mother cleared her throat, "Lilly has never been the type to go out of her way to bully other kids. She's only ever had one friend and she's not very social." Well...okay. I've had more than one friend but I guess my mom is just trying to make me look good. "So I find it odd, that out of all the years she's been in school, it's only now that a problem has come up."

"Mrs. Aguilar, this problem has been going on since the beginning of the school year. And," he chuckled. "It's a little unrealistic to think that every incident that Lilly's ever been in is going to be reported."

"I never bullied her. This was the first time I fought back and it-"

"Lilly," my mother warned.

"If she was bothering you, then you should have told a teacher from the very beginning. Not wait until you blew up." Wait, so you're going to give me crap because I never reported it but then reporting all incidents is unrealistic? What?

"But I didn't wait. It's not like I was ever planning on fighting her. She just..." I groaned, if she didn't mention my dad, I would have just walked away. I would have felt bad but I wouldn't have gotten suspended. But the more I talked, I could feel my grave getting deeper.

"It doesn't really matter what she did. Getting physical is never acceptable." He said sternly when he noticed I was getting agitated.

"Isn't there something we can do? Because obviously once the suspension is over things will go back to how they've always been and lord forbid we wait until it blows up again." Veronica said. "She's lucky I don't report this to the authorities. I mean, look at her." She said, giving Lindsay a shake.

First of all...bitch.

"I've consulted with my friend who happens to work for the NYPD, and he has told me that cases like this would just be dismissed. In his words, 'kids will be kids if you were to arrest them on that charge, you'd have to arrest the whole student body.'" My mom explained.

"Assault is kids being kids?" Veronica you need to lower your damn voice.

My mother opened her mouth to bite back but was stopped when Gerald finally spoke, "Please, Veronica. We've already talked about going to the police and I told you it's way too drastic." Gerald turned to the principal. "There has to be some way to prevent these kids from having another altercation."

The principal nodded, "Yes, there is an agreement both can sign that prevents them from talking to each other. If either one is to break the contract, the two weeks suspension will be the least of your worry." He said, towards me! There were two people involved in the fight you know, neither one of us are the victims here.

My mother sighed, "If I can, I think it'd be best if the girls wait outside for a while."

Veronica suddenly glared at me, "Absolutely n-"

"I agree." Gerald interrupted, giving my mother a small smile.

"Fine." I huffed before exiting the office. I went to sit at the far corner of the attendance office and decided to take out my phone and text Raph. 'You busy?'

I sighed, glaring at Lindsay as she slowly came out of the office and searched for a seat. She never looked away from my stare, instead she decided to sit across the room, directly in front of me.

As much as I don't like her, I don't want to fight her ever again. I just want her to keep my name out of her mouth and leave me the hell alone. And you know what? If she and David break up, I don't care. In fact, I hope they do! Yeah, I said it! I hope they break up.

My phone vibrated, 'I just finished training. What's up?'

I quickly pressed the green phone to call him. He quickly answered, "Hey! You playing nice?"

"I don't want to. But unfortunately yeah." Lindsay's eyes narrowed when she heard me talking.

"Is she near you?"

"Yes."

"Can she hear you?"

"Yes."

"Are you mad?"

"So mad..."

Raph chuckled softly, "Don't do anything you'll regret like beat her ass again. You already have two weeks of no school."

"Yeah. Well, what we're trying to do is get a week off of my suspension and maybe sign a contract that's like a high school version of a restraining order." I said, noticing Lindsay grunt and cross her arms over her chest like a child. "It's not like I was going to talk to her after this anyways."

"I never wanted to even talk to you." Lindsay suddenly snapped.

"Was that her I just heard?" Raph asked.

"Yeah,"

"I hope you don't listen to me, but if you were to smack her again I wouldn't judge." I could hear his smile.

"No, I don't want to. Fighting her costed me two weeks of homework and dance. I'm not doing anymore fighting." I said with a small laugh.

"What if I told you that..." he paused for a moment. "It turns me on when you get angry."

My cheeks became warm, "Is that supposed to motivate me?"

"Maybe... Couldn't help but try."

I bit my finger nail, suddenly feeling playful. With every word I spoke, I could see Lindsay visibly getting angrier and angrier. "Didn't work."

"Damn," Raph chuckled. "Hey, since it's a stressful day for you, how about I go over your place and repeat what happened last time?"

I covered my giggle with my hand, "Really?"

"Of course... To be honest, I didn't know I would like seeing you that way so much. But I do." He admitted with such confidence it made my heart jump.

"What about you?" I asked.

"What about me?"

"What if I do that..." I couldn't finish when this girl in front of me listens like a hawk.

"T-To me?"

"Yeah,"

"Um...are you sure?"

"I wouldn't have offered if I wasn't." I said, trying to sound as vague as I could.

"I mean... I'd be down but..."

"What?"

"But...you've never seen my thing. And I've watched some movies and I'm gonna let you know right now. I don't look like them, they don't look like me."

I sighed, "Awe Raph... I knew that all along."

"I don't want to freak you out."

"Okay, well, we can talk about this when I get home."

"Oka-" Raph stopped once again.

"Who are you talking to?" I heard a faint voice.

"Lilly,"

"Yes?" I answered.

"Ooh! Gimmie!"

"Oh god," Raph groaned.

"Hey Lilly! How's it going?" Mikey's voice suddenly blurted out.

I blinked, "Hi Mikey, where did you come from?"

"I heard Raph talking to himself so I thought he might actually be crazy this time. So I was just checking." Mikey explained. "So, whatchu doing?"

"Waiting for my mom to stop talking to my principal." I said.

"Could you please...shut up." Lindsay...asked?

"Who told you to shut up?" Mikey asked.

I rolled my eyes, "That girl I fought."

"Really? She's there? I hope your not going to fight her again." Mikey said, his tone worried

I shook my head as if he could see me, "No dude. Not worth it. Don't worry. After this, Raph will come pick me up and I'll go over your place."

"He will? Are you guys like dating?" I felt my heart drop at the question. "You guys hang out a lot..."

"Give me the phone!" Raph suddenly yelled.

"What?"

"Give it to me or I'll smack the green off you."

"You love her don't you?" Mikey teased. I pressed my fingers against my mouth to stifle my giggle.

"Mikey," Raph growled. "Give me the phone!"

Mikey began to laugh, "Awe little Raphie loves-ow!"

After hearing a little scuffle, Raph finally spoke. "I'll see you later Lil' I got something I have to take care of right now."

I laughed, "Go easy on him, he's just teasing."

"Yeah, bye." He grunted.

"Bye." I giggled before hanging up. Poor Mikey, he's going to get it big time. Nearly scared the crap out of me with his random questions. Maybe Raph and I shouldn't be hanging out that much if we're trying to hide the fact that we're together. That sucks... I always find myself wanting to ask Raph when he's going to tell his family, but I know it bothers him and he's not ready so I usually just shut up. The day will come, is what I tell myself but that day is taking forever.

"Why do you want David so much if you're so happy with your boyfriend?" Lindsay's snake ass voice said.

I rolled my eyes and groaned, "The only person that wants David is you. I don't know how many times I have to say it, I don't want him. Point blank, period."

"You know he loves you."

"I only know what you say. Him and I don't exchange words or even looks. It was only Friday when he came over to tell me I did a good job at the dance." I don't know why I'm explaining myself to Lindsay.

"You can't tell me you have no feelings for him."

"Um... I don't." I scoffed, rubbing my temples as they slowly began to pound. "I have a new boyfriend. And you know how you don't like me because of David? Well, he doesn't like David so..."

"So why do you still talk to him?" Lindsay growled.

"Well one, Raphael doesn't own me. I can do what I want. And two, if David, your boyfriend, comes to me first, I'm going to be mature and answer him." I leaned forward, my eyes narrowing. "You think I'm going to still like someone after they broke up with me because I wouldn't fuck them?" And we all know that story that I was cheating was just some bullshit reason he made up so he could break up with me.

"What do you mean you didn't fuck him? He's told me all the stories of you two." Lindsay scoffed in disbelief.

My eyes widened, "He what?"

"He tells everyone the kind of shit you were into, where you guys did it, how many times, freaking everything!"

Are you fucking kidding me? I felt tears fill my eyes, I could feel my adrenaline rising and all I saw was red once again. After shutting my eyes and taking a few deep breaths before resting my head back on the wall, I felt my lips tremble but somehow managed to control it.

"Don't play with his emotions. That's just evil."

"Evil..." I chuckled breathlessly. That's so ironic. Her calling me evil. "Why are you with him and not that other guy?"

"David and I never stopping loving each other." She said almost proudly.

I shook my head, "He doesn't love you." Before she could answer, I continued. "He doesn't love you if he loves me. Are you really that stupid? And I don't even think he loves me. He just sees that I'm happy and wants that. We were together for a month, I don't think you can love someone after being with them for such a short period of time."

"Yes you can. I love him."

"That must suck." I chuckled.

Lindsay narrowed her eyes in suspicion. "How long have you and your boyfriend been together?"

Oh shit... um...five? Four? No five months. Fuck. "Five months. And I haven't told him I loved him. Because I don't."

"How can you be with someone you don't love?"

"Because I really like him and he really likes me. It's not like I'd never love him." I shook my head. "But just because we don't we love each other or whatever, doesn't mean we're not happy."

Lindsay grunted, her eyes looking away from me. I don't know what the hell is up with people now a days, but you don't always have to be absolutely and totally in love with someone to be with them. Look at Raph and I, we don't love each other and we're doing fine. Will I love him eventually...? I don't know, maybe. Will he love me? No doubt. It's a process, that's the best part about being in a fucking relationship the fact that it's a process! Idiot.

I don't know why I'm explaining myself to this girl.

Just then, my mother bursted through the doors and came over to me with tears in her eyes. She motioned her head towards the door and sniffed, "Let's go."

Worried, I grabbed her hand and asked, "What happened?"

"Let's just leave." She pulled me up and out of the office. I didn't even get a chance to sign that order I wanted to sign!

My attention was only on my mother as we walked out of the school and down the block to our place. Why was she crying? What did they do to her? I'll kick ass! Okay, not everything can be solved by hitting things Lillian. Who do you think you are? Raphael?

My mother suddenly stopped and let go of my hand. For a moment she was staring straight away, but without warning she covered her face with both of her hands and began to sob softly. I stood and watched her, not knowing what to say or what to do. Do I continue walking? Do I ask if she's okay? Do I let her let it out?

I opened my mouth to say something when my mother turned around, "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry you have to have a mother as fucked up as me."

"Mom wh-"

"I'm sorry you didn't have a dad growing up. Or even a good step father." She apologized. She grabbed my shoulders and shook me. "I didn't do a good job but please don't ruin your life because of me." She pulled me in for a tight hug, crying into my shoulder.

I stood there for a second confused beyond belief. My arms slowly wrapped around her shaking figure. What the hell did they say?

~Raph's POV~

I slowly entered her room, finding her sitting at the edge of her bed, her back towards me. She was holding her phone to her ear, talking softly. I wanted to ask her what was wrong but then I heard her voice tremble so I just stayed quiet and listened.

She sniffed, "Who says something like that?" She asked whoever was on the phone. "My mom went to work with tears in her eyes. Apparently Lindsay's whole fucking family is evil because normal, kind people don't say shit like that. Ugh!" She groaned. "When my mom told me I wanted to fucking go back there and demand an apology." I guess the meeting didn't go too well. "I still have two weeks because they said I didn't show any signs of remorse... Really?... Thank you, April... No not yet, I texted him to come over so any minute now... Alright. Okay bye." She hung up her phone before she stood up, wiping her face and turning. She sighed then jumped at the site of me, "Jesus Christ..." she cursed.

"S-Sorry babe..." I apologized. She smiled through even more tears. "What's the matter?"

She shook her head and said nothing. Instead she came running towards me, throwing her arms around my neck and started to cry. I wrapped my arms around her waist and just held her as she cried. Wow, that meeting must have been really bad if she's sobbing on my shoulder.

Damnit, I hated seeing her this way. It always made me so angry to see her upset. I bet this has something to do with that ex of hers. I will bet 100 dollars that I don't have, that that mother fucker is the reason why she's crying. Him and that bitch of a girlfriend. I'm glad Lilly beat her ass.

Lilly pulled away, wiping her face. "I'm sorry. I know you don't know how to comfort people."

I took her over to the bed and sat her down, "What happened?" I asked, completely ignoring the apology.

"They started blaming my mom for my behavior. Lindsay's mom was saying maybe if I had the stern ruling of a father that maybe I'd learn not to act out. She's such a evil bitch. And the principal agreed and then asked my mom when my dad got out of jail."

I narrowed my eyes in confusion, "What? That doesn't even-"

"I know! Lindsay told her mother my father was gone and for some reason they just assumed my dad was in jail. I don't know how that even makes sense to them! I don't know if it was because that's what Lindsay's mother came up with or if it's because of who my father was or... I don't know..." She wiped her eyes.

I shook my head, "How would they know who your father was?"

"David!" I fucking knew it. "He apparently told Lindsay about my dad, my mom, and me. And then some..." she sniffed. "I blame myself because I told David almost everything about my family. Stupid."

"It's not like you knew he'd-"

"I know but I just..." she shook her head and bit her lip when it trembled. "Why bring any of that shit up? Like there's no reason..." she looked down at her lap, fumbling nervously with her hands. "People are so evil..."

I sighed, not knowing what to say and feeling too bad to try to comfort her. I just leaned in, kissed her head softly then rested my forehead on her temple.

She sighed, "Why are you so sweet?" She asked, smiling softly.

"You bring it out in me." I joked.

She lifted her hand to cup my cheek, pressing her lips against mine so softly. When she pulled away, her eyes stared lovingly into mine before they widened in almost horror. She gasped and then looked away, her hand dropping back down to her lap.

"You okay?" I asked.

She shook her head, "No I'm fine." She looked at me. "I'm good. Just..."

"Just what?"

Lillian smiled, her hand finding mine. "You're really awesome to me and sometimes I think I don't deserve it."

I rolled my eyes, "And why would you think that?"

I shrugged, "I don't know." Her thumb caressed my knuckle.

I could feel myself wanting to burst! I wanted to tell her how much I loved her and how she meant the world to me. But how do I even know if she's feeling the same way?

"You know," Lilly's eyes grew dark. "Lindsay told me that that son of a bitch told everyone that him and I had sex."

I felt my heart stop for a moment, my lungs suddenly constricting in my chest. I couldn't breathe... "Uh..." was all I could manage to say. Okay, I think that's a pretty significant sign telling me not to tell her that I loved her

"We never did. I never even saw his dick." She said sternly. "But everyone thinks we did and when her and I fought, Lindsay threw him and my old boyfriend in my face which means David also told everyone that I had sex before."

That son of a bitch, I'm gonna find him and I'm gonna kill him. "He didn't..."

She nodded, "Yup! Everyone knows I had sex with someone before him. And everyone thinks I had sex with David. And no one will believe me because...I'm just a whore."

A low growl came from deep down in my throat, "Don't call yourself that."

"Well that's what people think now."

"I don't care what they think, you shouldn't say stuff like that." I urged. "Look, all you can do now is pretend like they don't even exist. And if they mess with you, you let me deal with them."

"Why do you always offer to beat up anyone that bothers me?" She chuckled.

"'Cause you're my girl." I stated. As if she doesn't know already...

I saw her blush, "Raph..." she said breathlessly.

"What?"

"You're..." she took a deep breath before frowning. "I think I'm falling..."

I blinked, "Um..." I thought for a moment at what she was talking about because to me it seemed like she changed the subject completely. I opened my mouth repeatedly before shutting it, not really knowing what she was talking about. "I don't...know what that means."

She rolled her eyes, "Men really are stupid." She mumbled to herself.

I looked around the room, my eyes wide. "I'm so confused. Are we fighting now? Because if we are, I say we settle this in something I'm good at."

She narrowed her eyes.

"I'll fight you." I joked, smiling when she bursted out laughing. "I'm serious."

She shook her head, "You'll fight me?"

"To the death."

"I'll kick your ass."

I smirked playfully, gently giving her a small push. "Yeah, we'll see. I'm not your average high school girl."

"No..." she bit her lip. "You're not." Her hands cupped my cheek one more time. "You're my boyfriend."

"Oh really? Are you starting to catch feelings? Because I thought this was just for fun. No strings attached."

"Shut up," she laughed before leaning in to kiss me.

"Do you think I'm fat?"

I blinked at her question, "No."

"Do you think I wear to much make up?"

I frowned, "Even if I told you yes, would that change anything?"

She sighed, "Raph," she grabbed my hand. "Of course not."

"See," I squeezed her hand before bringing it to my mouth so I could kiss each one of her fingers. "Why are you asking?"

"Apparently everyone thinks I'm fat and ugly according to Lindsay. I mean," her shoulders slumped. "I know I'm not...as skinny as April. I know I'm not skinny at all. But...fat?"

"You thick. With two C's." I said playfully. She smiled, "I don't care what that bitch said about you, or what anyone thinks! I don't think you're fat. And I like the way your body is."

"You're like a chubby chaser." She giggled.

I shook my head, "No. Everyone has a different body type. Women are pretty if they're not mean."

She nodded, "I guess," I noticed her staring at me more than usual.

At first, I just ignored her, but then she started to laugh to herself so I quickly got self conscious. I glared at her, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing," she quickly said. "Wanna do it?"

My eyes widened whilst my heart jumped into my throat. "Jesus, what-"

She laughed, "I'm kidding. I just wanted to see your reaction." She grabbed the pillow she was laying on and hit me with it. "I know you're insecure."

I grabbed the pillow, yanking it out of her arms and hitting her with it. "I'm not insecure." That was a lie. My junk is not like a human's junk, I'm pretty big...and by big I don't mean length...

Yes I do. But that's not the only thing that's really big.

"Then why won't you let me see your pee pee." Lilly giggled.

"My..." I laughed, hitting her again with the pillow. "I'm not worried about my...pee pee. It's you I'm worried about." That was also a lie...well, sort of. Lilly's last time was horrible and I don't want her to have a flashback or something when I'm trying to...be with her. "You said you wanted to wait and-"

"We don't have to have sex, Raph. I offered to suck your dick for a reason." She blurted.

My eyes widened, "Lilly,"

"What? I'm just being honest."

"I know, but maybe another time."

She nodded, "I'm not trying to rush or pressure you. I'm just-"

"I know, I know. I'm just...I don't want to yet."

She sighed, "Alright." She grabbed my hand and attempted to lace her fingers with mine. I watched her whilst a bubbling began in my stomach, I hated when she did this. She always wanted to hold hands and I never did because it's just another reminder that I'm not human...it's not easy for her to lace her fingers with mine but it could be if I were human.

I pulled my hand away from hers, "I should get going." I mumbled, sitting up from her bed. "I'll tell the guys you weren't feeling well."

Lilly blinked for a moment, then frowned. "Okay, I'll see you later?" She asked hopefully.

I nodded, "Tomorrow. You'll see me tomorrow." I stood up, turning around when I felt bad that I was leaving her so suddenly over some stupid insecurity. "I promise." I kissed her softly.

She pulled me back in when I pulled away, her deep kiss was almost like reassuring for me. I sighed peacefully. It was almost like I could feel her tell me she loved me...I could feel her fall...

My eyes widened, before I backed away from her.

She stared at me with a confused stare, "What's wrong?"

"You..." I pointed at her, realization hitting me hard. She told me she thought she was falling! She was falling... Falling in love? With me? I sure hope I was right. "You're f-falling?"

She blinked, "What?"

"W-what you said like two hours ago. You said you were falling...like you thought you were falling." I stuttered quickly.

She frowned, "Raph, you just got that now? Dummy head."

"Yes!" I yelped. "Are you...serious?"

"Hey," she raised her hands up. "It's not like I said those three words. I'm not ready to come out and say them but...in time...I mean, I just felt...like you really care about me an-"

"I do." I sat back down. "Lillian," I said before taking a deep breath. "I-"

She covered my mouth with her hand, shushing me and focusing her attention on something else. "I think I heard..." There was a noise that came from the living room, then the front door opened.

"Ann...You know Lillian hates it when you're drunk."

"Then don't tell..."

Lillian shut her eyes, "Oh no..." she let out a low groan before leaning into me. "My mother is drunk."

I grabbed her wrist and pulled her hand away from my mouth. "I guess that's my cue." And a sign telling me once again that now is not the time to tell her I loved her. Maybe tomorrow.

"I'm sorry." She mumbled, looking up and giving my chin a kiss. "We'll finish this tomorrow."

"Maybe...if the moments right." I sighed, before heading towards the window.

"Lilly!" A woman called.

"Coming!" Lillian looked back at me and waved. "Be safe." She said before I left.

I came close...twice! I came so close to telling her I loved her and I didn't. "Stupid, stupid, stupid!" I growled to myself. I should have just come out and said it. At this point, it's pretty obvious she doesn't love me and I don't give two shits. I just want to get this off my chest and I also think Lilly deserves to hear those words come from someone who actually means them. She doesn't have to love me back, I just want her to know.

Poor Raphie, hes sooo in love! See you guys in the next one!
