Molly rushed off in her car, zooming by tree after tree. Imprinting, what a crazy idea, she thought to herself. Now, her only decision was where to go. Going back to Sam's house was out of the question, not after that dramatic exit. Her house was too chaotic, and definitely not worth the risk of running into Edward. There was one other choice, Lilly's house.
Despite her attempt to quarter herself off from all other students while attending school in Forks, Lilly was one persistent person. For some reason, Molly was the most fascinating person to Lilly. At first, Molly just saw her as an annoying freshman that wouldn't leave her alone, but soon they became best friends.
Making a spur of the minute decision, she veered off onto a road to the right. Due to her insane driving, Molly was at Lilly's house within 4 minutes. She looked down at her watch. It was nearly 5 minutes until 9, early enough to invite herself over. She rapidly knocked at the door.
In a few seconds, a shining face greeted her. Lilly was a bit peculiar, but honestly a lot like Molly before her transformation. Lilly had shaggy blonde hair, which was highlighted with a few streaks of pink and blue. It hung in her face, right over her red thick rimmed glasses. Today she wore an old Eagles shirt with faded blue jeans.
"Hey Molly!" she said, almost shocked. "What are you doing here so late, everything's alright isn't it?"
"Yeah yeah, Lilly, everything is just fine. I just had to get away for a while, you know how it is." Molly sighed.
"Well come in, just don't stand there." Lilly gestured toward the hallway behind her. Molly soon sauntered in, following her friend. "So what's been up with you? You kind of rushed out of school the other day. Last day jitters or something? I knew I was eager to get out of there too."
"Yeah, I just get sick of it you know. Plus I was getting a bit annoyed by Sammy. He was being a bit persistent, I guess seeing as it was his last chance to ask me out for the year." Molly laughed a bit.
"Oh, he's a freaky stalker kid, I wouldn't let him ruin my day." Lilly laughed. "Besides, you only have one more year left. I would pay to be in your shoes." She smiled as she swept into the living room, which was dimly lit by a few small lamps.
Molly looked inquisitively around, as though waiting to see someone. "Mom's not home." Lilly answered her friend before she even got a chance to ask. "She got sent away on some big business trip for a week. So, that means Bobby is coming over tomorrow afternoon. In my opinion, I think I am perfectly able to stay home alone, but you know how she is."
"Bobby?" Molly inclined.
"Oh!" Lilly smacked herself in the forehead. "Duh! I forgot, you've never met him. Bobby is my older brother. He's about 25, so mom finds him to be responsible enough to watch me, but not as torturing as my Grandparents. At least I have to thank her for that."
Molly just nodded absentmindedly; all of her thoughts were currently back in La Push. Lilly just nudged her. "Are you alright, you seem a little out of it?"
"Oh, I'm fine." Molly smiled, waking from her thoughts.
"No, you're not. There's something, I've never seen you act this way." Lilly poked.
"Ah maybe not, but have you really known me all that long." She wittedly commented back.
"There's just got to be one explanation—"
"Okay I admit it—"
"—You've gotten yourself involved in drugs." Lilly accused.
Molly gave her friend a confused look and broke out into a hysterics. Lilly started laughing along too, although she didn't know why.
"Drugs?" Molly questioned. "You think that's what this is about?"
"Well it seemed pretty log—"
"No, no. Just stop. It's not drugs I promise you." Molly choked out through her laughter.
"Then what is it?" Lilly shouted, getting a bit fussy now.
"Its, well, a guy." Molly admitted.
"A guy?" Lilly squealed. With her high interest, she could never even think about being mad at Molly now. "Ooh ooh. Tell me more! Please?"
"Well. He lives in La Push. He's basically, tall, dark, and handsome."
"Ooh. So he's a total hunk?" Lilly sprawled her body across the couch, completely absorbed in Molly's story now.
"Yeah," Molly murmured uneasy with admitting this kind of thing. "I guess you could say that."
"So what's the problem chica? Does he like you?" she questioned, twirling her hair about.
"Well, yes. That's the problem though. I think he might like me a little too much. I don't know if I want to get involved with someone like that."
"I don't see why not though. I mean if he's a jerk or something, it's not like you can't kick him to the curb. If you like him, you like him, and the longer you avoid him, the more it's going to bother you."
"Yeah I suppose so. Sometimes you are right Lilly." Molly admitted.
"Sometimes? I'm right all of the time. Lilly Harris is never wrong." She smiled proudly.
"Never wrong?" Molly raised an eyebrow. "Don't you remember that one time when—"
"Okay, so I'm right most of the time. You can't hold me on a few stupid things." Lilly rolled over and switched on the T.V. "Oh look, Friends is on. I just love this show!" she squealed.
"Alright Lilly, I'm going to head off to bed while you watch your show. I'll make sure that I don't leave before you're up this time." Molly laughed.
"Alright…Hey! Do you like banana bran muffins?"
"Eh, I'm not really a breakfast person, but thanks anyway." Molly simply stated. With that, she marched up the stairs quietly and into the guest room.
Lilly was great, but sometimes Molly just wanted time to herself. One advantage of not sleeping was that every time she came over, she could poke around the house once everyone else was asleep. The one thing she had come to love about Lilly's house was the guest room. It wasn't really the room itself, but the low hanging roof outside the window. At some point, Molly always ended up spending a few hours out on it, watching the stars, even in the Forks weather. Molly lay back in bed, knowing that Lilly would innocently come to check on her just before she headed off herself.
Molly mumbled to herself. "Go and see Jacob? Hmm maybe never…. Maybe tomorrow. I don't really know anymore, but I'll never be able to escape those big brown eyes."
Sorry if this was a little off of the path of the rest of my stuff, but I really wanted to introduce a new character! Thanks for reading as always!!
