Chapter Thirteen
Miley didn't know how long she begged Lilly's lifeless body to awake. She didn't know how long it took for her to pass out from lack of air due to hyperventilation. She didn't know where she was until her eyes fluttered awake and a white room greeted her.
"Miley!" Before she knew what was going on she saw Lilly jump out of a seat nearby and throw herself onto the brunette.
"Lilly?" It took the brunette a moment to realize everything the two had just endured. Not realizing the damage that had been done to herself, she threw herself back on the blonde. Only after a second she jumped back, cradling her wrist in pain.
"You really messed that thing up," Lilly frowned, delicately taking a hold of the broken body part, "I can't believe he did that to you."
Miley smiled weakly and blinked. "Wait a second! I thought you…you…" She couldn't bring herself to utter the word.
Lilly's bruised eye lost happiness. "I almost did. They got me here right in time. I guess he crushed my lung and it needed to be pushed open again. I'm really glad I was unconscious while they did that!" She giggled, letting go of the brunette's hand.
"So, you're okay? No broken bones?" Miley pulled herself into a sitting position while the blonde positioned herself on the bed.
"None. A lot of cuts from the glass and bruises though. Are you okay? They told me you passed out on top of me and we were both unconscious."
The brunette felt a slight shade of red while she remembered the tears pouring down her face when she thought the blonde was dead. She wanted nothing more than to hold Lilly close and kiss her passionately; however, she knew right now was not the place. The blonde brought her hand up to Miley's face and stroked her cheek gently. "I'm so glad you're okay."
Miley smiled before asking, "How long am I stuck here?"
"Well since you're awake, I'm pretty sure you can get out today. I'll go get the nurse." The blonde stood up and took a few steps forward. As if debating something she stopped, then turned around with a smile so big Miley couldn't help but smile too. Lilly walked over and kissed Miley gently on the cheek.
……………….
Miley remembered that year so clearly. It had been five years since that event in Lilly's home occurred, and she still had a small scar from when the glass had cut her. She stared at the ceiling very carefully, almost as though she was seeing the man's face in it. Turning on her side, she gazed at Lilly's blonde hair, and her heart skipped a beat. Then again, it always did. The brunette knew the date very well. It was May fifth. Today was the day. It was exactly five years today.
"You're awake?" Lilly turned with a smile on her face. "I was waiting for you to move first. I didn't want to wake you up."
Miley smiled. "You're cute. How'd you sleep?"
The blonde sat up, mimicking Miley's position. "Great, I thought of you the whole time."
The brunette turned red and pushed the covers off. She stretched for a moment, but the sadness in her heart was growing. She knew how much emotional pain the blonde went through. Even still she would wake to Lilly's screaming, holding her for hours on end till she fell back asleep in Miley's arms. The brunette hoped this year would be different. However deep in her heart she knew it wouldn't be.
Oddly, the blonde didn't seem to realize what the date was. "So, it's Saturday right? No classes?"
The two girls went to college together. Originally they went through the heartbreaking months when they thought they would have to leave each other due to separation. However they both applied for the same school without knowing it, and that was how the two came to be now.
"Nope, none. Thank god." Lilly stood up and saw the pain in Miley's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, why?" Miley plastered a smile on her face.
"Wait, a second. What I saw in your eyes is something I don't see very often…" The blonde slowly started to piece it together. "What's today?"
The silence made the blonde blink. "It's that day, isn't it?" Miley nodded.
"I don't want to be sad this time. I don't want those memories to come back today." Lilly stated, coming closer to the brunette. For once, Miley couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"Why are you smiling?" Miley asked curiously, noticing how close the blonde was. Lilly leaned her forehead on Miley's and the static could be felt between the two.
"I'm not going to be sad today. This day is a very special day to me."
Confusion filled the brunette. "How could it possibly be special?"
"Because Miley, five years ago today, was the day I fell in love with you."
