AN: This is chapter 2 of Open Your Eyes, people. I'm not really sure how long this will be, but the way I figure, it's got to be long enough for Lysander to pull his head out of his butt, so at least five chapters. Hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: Look in chapter 1, duh.
"You kicked him?" Lily yelled, her eyes going wide. Lucy, who looked quite proud of herself, nodded her head. "He deserved it if he can't see how amazing you are, Lily, and it was very entertaining to watch, although I didn't know Lucy was that strong" Rose said, grinning.
Lily groaned and buried her face in her hands.
"I wanted him to fancy me, not to fear coming near my family!" she yelled, slapping Lucy on the shoulder.
The older girl pouted.
"I was just trying to stick up for you! You were up here all night crying your eyes out because that moron can't see what's right in front of his face, and you're upset with me for defending you?" she screamed, raising an eyebrow.
"That's not defending me, that's abuse!" Lily yelled back, standing up and walking closer to Lucy. The older girl didn't back down, but glared back at her younger cousin, opening her mouth to respond.
Rose lifted the book she was reading to cover her face, preparing for the argument that was sure to come.
Luckily for everyone, Roxanne stepped in between the two, pushing them both backwards a couple steps.
"You two are so stupid half the time, you know that? You're best friends, and you fight like you bloody hate each other" she grumbled. She turned and pointed at Lily. "You, shut up, you know Lucy cares about you and only kicked Lysander because she was defending you" she said.
Lily looked down at her feet.
Roxanne turned to point at Lucy.
"And you, why are you so violent all the time? You couldn't just talk to the boy, could you? No, you have to storm up to him and kick him in the shin! You're just lucky he's a nice guy, or he might have just hit you back" she said.
Lucy sighed loudly and nodded her head, knowing her cousin was right.
Roxanne had a way of making you feel ashamed of yourself when you did something wrong.
There was a knock at Rose's bedroom door, and all four girls spun around to see Lysander standing there, smiling slightly when he saw Lily. His eyes landed on Lucy, and they went wide. He tried to take a step backwards, but ran right into Victorie, who shoved him forward again.
"Let's give these two some time to talk things out, shall we?" she asked, grabbing Roxanne's arm and pulling her towards the door. Lucy grabbed Rose and pulled her to her feet, waving at Lily and Lysander as she walked past them.
"This is my room!" Rose yelled in protest, before Lucy slammed her door shut, leaving Lysander and Lily alone.
"Are you going to kick me too?" Lysander asked quietly. Despite herself, Lily smiled a little and shook her head. "No, I'm not going to kick you, Ly. What are you doing here?" she asked.
Lysander looked confused.
"I'm here to visit my best friend, of course. I am still allowed to do that, aren't I?" he asked her. Lily snorted loudly. "Your best friend, of course" she grumbled under her breath. Lysander had to lean a little closer, but he heard her and his eyebrows shot up in shock.
"Is there suddenly something wrong with being my best friend? Because if there is, you should just tell me and I'll leave here right now and never bother you again" he said, an offended tone entering his voice.
"Lysander, that's not what I meant, and you know it" Lily responded, rolling her eyes slightly.
"I don't know what to make of you, anymore! Every time I'm around you, you act completely mental and scream at me about something that doesn't matter in the least, and it's like you expect me to be able to just know what's wrong! I can't read your mind, Lily! If something wrong, you need to tell me, maybe I can help!" Lysander yelled, his face flushing with anger.
Lily remained silent.
"Did I do something to make you angry? Did I say something wrong? Offend you or something? Just tell me, I want to fix it and finally get back to being friends like we were before you started acting this way!" Lysander screamed.
Lily stood and looked at him.
"You honestly have no idea what it is that's got me so upset, do you?" she asked.
Lysander groaned loudly.
"Obviously not! Or else I'd fix it!" he yelled.
"If I was angry with you, you'd know it, trust me. That's not what's wrong, and if you don't know what is, we're not nearly as close as I thought we were" Lily said, glaring into his eyes. Lysander looked so hurt, that she wanted to be able to take the words back as soon as they left her mouth.
"Well if we're not that close, I'll just leave" Lysander muttered, turning to leave. He opened the door and was about to step out into the hallway, when Lily spoke up.
"I didn't mean that" she said loudly, hoping to stop him.
"You must have meant it, or you wouldn't of said it. Despite what you may think, I know you Lily, and you don't say things you don't mean" Lysander said in response, turning around slightly to look at her.
Lily didn't respond.
"Just what I thought, goodbye, Lily" Lysander said, slamming the door shut and leaving the room.
Lily felt tears build up in her eyes again, even though she was sick of crying, and threw herself backwards onto Rose's bed, silently thinking that Lysander might not be the only stupid one in their friendship.
