extra prompts: grass, forgive, doom
Sitting in the dead winter grass, a sense of doom seemed to fill the air around her. She suspected she'd be found soon. She let her hands rake slowly across the yellowish grass around her and sighed.
Christmas carols from inside drifted outside, and hung around Lily like a thick fog. She hated Christmas. Always had, always will. Of course, Lucy, her cousin and best friend, wouldn't allow her to be a Scrooge, which is why she was hiding behind the old oak tree in hopes no one would find her.
Later, she'd have to beg Lucy to forgive her for ditching her Christmas party, but right now, Lily was perfectly content with being alone outside. It was better than being inside, having to watch Teddy and Victoire swap spit and act all couple-y.
Okay, maybe she didn't hate Christmas as much as she hated that last year, she spend Christmas heartbroken and the memories were still raw in her mind.
Sighing, Lily tilted her head back against the old tree and sung along to the lyrics that were playing inside.
"Last Christmas, I gave you my heart, but the very next day, you gave it away."
