Songfic 2: Thank You
Song by Dido.
A cold rain pounded down to the ground in Malibu California. In a small house near the beach, an alarm rang that it was six in the morning.
Lily Truscott slammed her hand down on the clock shutting off the noise. She sat up and stretched, staring at the rain. She sighed, she hated rain, it was so ugly, dark, and dramatic.
She sighed, knowing it'd probably be a long day. She got dressed and as she pulled her long blonde hair into a ponytail she saw a picture of the person that could make even the darkest of days brighter. In the picture, her boyfriend, famous rock star Joe Jonas was staring deeply into the camera, attempting to take a picture of himself.
Lily smiled and rolled her eyes as she ran into the living room. She got dressed and went outside, actually on time this morning, only moments before the bus were to arrive. She was standing under her umbrella waiting patiently when she realized she had forgotten her purse.
"Aw man!" Lily groaned dropping the umbrella and running in the house.
She grabbed the small greenish colored khaki bag off of the counter and ran back outside just as she saw the huge yellow bus pull off.
She felt like crying. She put her stuff on her shoulder and sighed. She reached for her phone out of her pocket and fumbled with it for a minute.
She reached a number and pressed send.
"Hey, can you come get me, I missed the bus."
"Again, Lils, come on, you can do better than that."
"Joe, it's not the time to mess with me right now, just please, for me."
"I'm sorry babe, I can't, I'm recording right now, then I have that Radio Disn….."
"Fine, whatever."
Lily shut the phone and put in her pocket angrily as she walked down the road until she reached the Stewart residence, knowing Jackson would take her to school.
She went into the building, still wet from the bus incident. Her head was throbbing with a headache that came from no where, that Miley implied was probably from the stress.
She shut her locker and turned to go to class when she was stopped by Amber and Ashley.
"We heard your big rock star boyfriend couldn't come and get you." Amber hissed.
"I bet you aren't even dating Joe Jonas." Ashley said.
"Are so." Lily said.
"Whatever." Amber said, "Goodnight and Goodbye, Truscott."
"Ooh, sss…" they laughed.
Lily rubbed her temples in annoyance. She walked to class as her phone vibrated.
The text she had just received read: "Sorry about earlier. Hope u understand. Love u."
Lily half smiled and sighed tucking her phone back in her pocket and slid into class, just as the bell rang.
That afternoon, Lily decided just to ride home with Miley just as she did earlier. She walked all the way home from the Stewart house, letting the cold rain hit her shoulders, not even bothering to get the umbrella out of her book bag.
She sighed as she swung open the door. She was greeted by someone handing her a towel.
"A towel for m'lady."
The voice was too familiar to Lily. She glanced up and saw Joe standing before her with a sympathetic look on his face and holding a pink towel in his hand.
Lily smiled, taking the towel and then tossing her arms around his neck in a fierce hug. Joe put his arms around her waist.
Lily let a silent tear of happiness fall down her cheek as Joe gently rubbed her back.
"Thanks Joe." she smiled.
"Anytime" he said.
She stayed locked in his embrace, not noticing anything but him and only him. He was the world right at the moment for her.
Correction: Joe Jonas was Lily Truscott's world, and there was not a day that went by that he hadn't made better, if only but a little bit.
