Chapter Seven: Waiting for Love

She looks to the stars
Breaking, time to follow the heart
Her world is falling apart
And the world is turning
A look on a shelf that is there to remain
Breaking the walls as shes tearing them down
As she is starting to drown
(Pink)

Scotty has gone to the Tavern with the guys after the incident at the lake. He has tried to talk to them about Lilly without mentioning the incident, but they didn't want to talk to him about her because they had the opinion that Lilly wouldn't like them to, that she would come to them if she needed help, but Scotty didn't believe their words. The Lilly he knew would never ask for help, even if she was about losing all her senses.

When Scotty left the Tavern it was almost 1 o'clock. The night was quite clear – he was able to see a lot of stars – but also pretty cold, therefore he pulled his coat tighter before he maneuvered himself into his car.

Although he tried to think of another subject his mind always came back to her. She has looked so sick the last weeks and than this strange behavior at the lake that afternoon.
He worried about her. Why was she so headstrong? Was it so hard to her to break her walls down, to talk to someone?

Suddenly his searchlights were reflected by something white. He drove somewhat slower instantly because he didn't trust his eyes, he saw something like an angel. A white cloth flew in the wind like wings as well as beautiful blonde hair. Also, he saw unusual pale legs that were sitting on the rail of the bridge he was heading to. The entire appearance of this angel like figure was breath taking and beautiful.

Not till this moment, he saw the danger of this situation. There was a woman sitting on a rail! Memories of a jumping Eliza came back to his mind; he remembered all the pain of the last months. Couldn't let the woman jump!

Scotty slowly left his car and tried to reach the woman with a few step without frightening her, but after only two steps he was shocked. The face, he was now able to see perfectly well, was not unknown on the contrary it was a face that he was not able to forget - especially when it smiled like it did now.

After his first shock he made quick steps, he stood as near that he could hold on to her if she jumped, but she didn't noticed this closeness.

"Lil, what are you doing?" asked he with a calm voice, but showed no reaction.
"Lilly, what makes you smile like this?" He tried again while going a step further so that he almost touched her, didn't want to due to his fear of frighten her. He could see tears in her eyes something he had seldom seen before.

Scotty didn't know what George had done to her in the attic, but her seen that she had cried something for that he wanted to kill George in a very cruel way. He'd like to kill everyone who makes her cry, but now he couldn't make the cause for her tears out and therefore he couldn't kill someone for them.
Lilly has again showed no emotions therefore he took hold of her waist.

Now, she looked at him with surprised features.
"Scotty what are you doing her?" She asked him with the same sense surprise in her tone.
"I could ask you the same, especially when you were nothing like a nightgown." He replied smiling.
"I couldn't sleep."
"Me, too" lied he. "Don't you want to leave this rail?"
"No, it's nice here… The water looks beautiful, doesn't it?"

Scotty was certain that she wasn't herself; it was more or less as though he talked to a little version of Lilly.

"It certainly is, but it's freezing here and we don't want you to catch a cold, do we?"

Lilly nodded and Scotty helped her from the rail. She must've been sit there for quite a while because her legs were shuddering and she wasn't really able to stand by herself.
"I'll take you home." He ordered and helped her to the car.

When they had reached her home Lilly has fallen asleep. She did really look like an angel. He sat there for a few minutes just watching her, but then recognized where he was.

Scotty got her out of his car carefully and carried the fragile figure into her apartment and than headed to the bedroom where she woke up when he lay her down at her bed.

"Thank you" she mouthed.
"Sleep well" answered he and wanted to leave the room as she interrupted him.
"Please, don't leave me alone, Scotty." Requested she half asleep.
"I'll sleep on the couch" answered he, but she only shacked her head.
"Not so far away. Can't you stay here? My bed is big enough for both of us."

Scotty wanted to share a bed with her, but not under those circumstances – when she acted out of her character like now. He didn't knew how she'd react when she woke up therefore he seated himself in a rather comfortable chair next to her bed.

Lilly has almost fallen asleep again when she opened her mouth once more.
"Don't tell Stillman about this!"
"I won't" promised he and watched her sleeping until he fall asleep himself.
