A/N: Sorry about the cliff-hanger guys! So, I wrote my story First Kiss and some reviewers said it was too short (and it was), so I really tried to make this one longer, but the way it looks in Word is VERY different form the page. The page on FF makes it seem a lot shorter, so I'm really gonna try and make this chapter longer. K? Good Review please! I have anonymous reviews turned on, so even if you don't have an account, you can still review.

She'd only been lifting up a bag of monkey feed when it happened. Kelly had left her alone in the barn to run a trip to the grocery store. How was she to know that that particular bag was holding up the broken shelf? That removing that bag would send around 50 25lb bags of feed tumbling down onto her? All she could do was scream before the last bag fell, knocking the wind out of her, and smashing onto her head.

DYLAN POV:

I knew that scream. Even 200 yards away, I knew it. It was a sound that could only come from Lily.

"Lily?" It was coming from the barn. I ran, tripping, and yelling.

When we reached the barn, it was all I could do not to pass out. She lay under a giant pile of feed bags, an enormous metal shelf, and she was hurt. Her eyes were up, her head tuning to look at me, tears streaming down her face.

"D…Dylan." She choked out. "The bags…they fell. Hey, where's your dad?"

I looked back. "I think he went to call an ambulance for you." I said as I reached out to grasp her hand firmly. I kissed her once, lightly, and stood up.

Using all the effort I could muster, and strength I didn't know I had, I lifted the shelf off of her and threw it aside. One by one, I lifted the feed bags until only a few remained and the EMTs had arrived.

A nurse walked out of room 45B, and said "the Lily party?" Startled by the amount of people that stood up, including but not limited to ever person that lived on or was employed at our zoo, she quickly said, "Only immediate family at this time please."

Dad and I quickly walked in, Kelly still frantically driving back from the grocery store, and saw her lying there, awake and smiling.

"Dylan! Mr. Mee!" she exclaimed.

"How you feelin' Lil'?" Dad asked carefully.

"Good, actually. They said I only had a bruised rib cage. I should be fine in about 2 days or so."

Dad's phone rang. "Hello…..Kelly!...yes, we're in 45B….No, the other building….okay, I'll be there in a second…"

"I'm going to go help Kelly find her way here. You two catch up for a minute." He said, running out.

I walked over the bed and sat down. "I guess you'll be missing the first day of school?" I asked gently.

"Yeah." She said, looking sad.

"You know, you shouldn't ditch, Lily. That's not good for your education." I said teasingly.

"Shut up!" she said, giggling. She leaned up to thwack me on the head, but I stopped her arm and kissed her.

"Ahem." A voice from the doorway said.

I turned around and saw Kelly. Crap.

"Um, I'll just go. " I said, backing out of the room.

"Yes, you will." Kelly said, turning around to give me a fake glare.

Behind Kelly's back, Lily winked at me. My brain went mushy. I didn't realize I had a goofy grin plastered on my face until I heard Lily giggling and felt Kelly give me a good-natured shove out of the room.

"Come on, Dylan. We have to get you to bed on time for school tomorrow." Dad said, putting his arm on my shoulder.

A/N: Thanks for reading! Review! I tried to make it longer this time. I may not be able to update that often. I had auditions for high school all last week and I didn't have any time to write. They should be less time than this update though. Let me know what you want to see I need suggestions, I don't have anything planned except for a few details I HAVE to work in, and so all suggestions are welcome and will probably be honored.

'Til next time,
