(it's been awhile since an update so I'll give ya 2chapters today.:D)

Ceceilia's POV

It happened again. That feeling where you can't eat, want to throw up, cry, sleep, yell, all at the same time? It drives me crazy. Litteraly. I usually end up curled up in the corner of my bedroom or hyperventalating in my closet. I hate it. It's all because of my parents, though. They never wanted me. I wasn't supposed to happen. I was never supposed to be born.

Lets just say, my parent's "protection" failed. Idiots.

(Oh, I mentioned a brother Colin and a sister Kris? Accidents too. But they're in reform school.)

So my mom freaked out on me again. Here's how it went down.

"You emo, good for nothing bitch, look what you did! (Apparently it was my fault that the microwave caught on fire. I was "supposed" to tell mother to only have her tea cook for 25seconds.) I can't believe I pay good money to send you to a good school-" "Mom, I go to public school. Its free." "LISTEN, I DON'T NEED YOUR SMART-ASS ATTITUDE (Cue where she hit me with a frying pan) GO TO YOUR ROOM AND CUT YOURSELF. NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU, BITCH."

So, you ask, where was my dad? I don't know. Maybe at work, or gambling. Or a strip club.

Anyway, this time I didn't go to my room. I didn't hide in the corner or lock myself in my closet. This time, I made sure I had my ipod, and ran out the door. I didn't care where I was going. I just ran. And ran.

Untill I could'nt hold it in anymore. I fell down and cried my heart out. After about who-knows-how long of wails and cries, I looked up to see where I was. I was in the woods. Thats all I knew. I didn't want to go "home". So I blasted my favorite song and wandered around, letting a tear escape every now and again.

I looked at my watch, 6:30pm, and I realized I was exhausted. I thought what the hell, I'm not going anywhere. I'll just nap here. So I lay down and shut my eyes. They were still crying.

Andy's POV

Me and my friend Chance have a Youtube improv comedy show. It's pretty popular. One of my characters I play is a spinoff on Sweeny Todd, a barber named Rupert. So, on this average saturday evening, Chance (dressed as Captain Cold) and I (dressed as Rupert) were walking around the local wood searching for a good film location.

I took out my phone and saw the time. It was getting close to dinner time, so I decided to call and tell my mom that I'll be missing dinner tonight.

"Hey Chance, I gotta make a phone call real quick," I told him. "Alright, I'll be looking over there for a clearing." He said and continued his way left.

As soon as I hung up with my mom I heard Chance's voice calling my name.

"Hey Andy! Come here!" I started to walk toward him and shouted back, "Find a good spot?"

"No, no! There a girl here! She's asleep and crying! We gotta get her out of here!"

That confused me.

"A girl?" I got to the clearing just as Chance was laying his coat on the girl. "She's gonna catch a damn cold." He said. But I was busy staring at the girl. Who was waking up.

It was Lilah.

"Huh..? Wha..?" She mumbled as she opened her eyes. Shit, I thought, she's gonna see me dressed like an idiot (I'm dressed as Sweeny Todd if you don't remember. My hair was all crazy with a white stripe through it and I was wearing black pants with suspenders and a white dress shirt covered with fake blood.) And she's gonna laugh.

"Andy...? Is that you...?" she mumbled. She had one eye opened while rubbing the other, still laying down. She looked too damn cute to see me in this getup. Chance looked at me,"Do you know her?" he mouthed. I nodded a yes. I went and kneeled on the other side of her. "Andy..?" She said. I replied, "Yeah?" She smiled and said, "Why are you dressed like Edward Scissorhands?" I smiled and laughed. "No, Sweeny Todd." I said while moving a piece of her hair out of her face. She laughed and sat up. I smiled.

"Lilah, why are you here? I mean, why are you sleeping here? I mean, why were you crying?" I said, in a serious tone.

"Uhm...fight with parents...again...I just needed to get out of the house."

She turned her head away from my gaze and blushed. Tears were welling up in her eyes.

"I don't want to go back home." She whispered through tears.

Then I said something stupid. Or at least I thought it was.

"Do you want to stay at my house tonight? I mean like, the guest room?"

She looked up at me with her big, tear-filled eyes and said,"Oh Andy..I don't know if I could I mean, you've been nothing but nice to me and we've known eachother for a short time and I'd feel rude just barging into your house and I'd-"

"Lilah."

She looked at me again.

"Its okay. It's not a problem, I want you to."

She blushed.

"Oh, oh n-no Lilah not like that I mean of course I want you to but not like that I mean-"

She hugged me. Totally unexpected. I was blushing. She was crying again.

"Thank you so much. You're amazing, Andy. But your parents-"

"They won't care, as long as you're in the guest room. But I've already decided, you're coming anyway."

I stood up and reached out my hand to help her up. She stared at me. I smiled. She took my hand and I pulled her in for another hug.

Then I remember Chance was there.

"I hate to interupt you two lovebirds but I just wanted to let you know that I recorded that whole entire scene. So going on Youtube." He laughed and turned his camera off. "You bastard! We are not lovebirds!" I shouted, possibly blushed. "Suuure." He taunted. "You're going down!" I started chasing him and he ran. Lilah laughed and followed.


Chance drived me and Lilah to my house. When we got in, I explained and told everything to my mom. (We're very close.) She understood and I led Lilah to the guest room on the second floor.

I blew the dust off the lamp and turned it on. I showed her how to turn the heater down if she got too hot, and handed her a pillow. "Theres a blanket going through the dryer" I said,"So I'm gonna hop in the shower and then be back with you blanket. Okay?" She nodded, not looking into my eyes. "I'll be right back, ten minuets, I promise."

When I came back my hair was wet and I was wearing only a hoodie and sweat pants. I handed her the blanket and sat down with her on the bed. "Uhm," I started,"You're still probably going to be cold...so," I took off my hoodie and handed it to her. She blushed and took it, but she avoided eye contact with me. I remembered that I didn't have a shirt on underneith that hoodie. So here I was, sitting on a bed with a girl I hardly know, while I was shirtless. I got up and blushed. I heard my mom call for me to get in my own room, so I said goodnight and turned the lights off.

Then I kissed her on the cheek and walked out of the guest room.
