Chapter 6
Walking into school the following day, Lilly-Ella grinned as she saw Matt leaning against the locker next to her own, his eyes staring at the wall in front of him, not a single movement coming from him except for the gentle rise and fall of his chest.
"Well hello there, Poster Boy," Lilly-Ella beamed as she walked up to her locker and started to spin in her combination, laughing as she watched matt jump out of his skin, before turning his golden coloured eyes onto her sparkling blue ones in a mock glare, a grin slowly spreading across his face.
"Miss Bolton, has your Mother never told you that it's not polite to sneak up on people like that and give them a near enough heart attack?" Matt asked jokingly, but the laughter died on his face as he watched Lilly-Ella's head fall forward, and a single water droplet hit the floor just in front of where she was standing, followed by another one and then another one.
Instinctively grabbing her hand, Matt pulled her down the corridor and into one of the empty science classrooms, not even bothering to turn on the lights; he bypassed straight through the room and gently dragged Lilly-Ella through a door, and up a flight of stairs, until they burst into a garden filled with vibrant colours and sweet scents.
Paying no attention to the garden, Matt tugged Lilly-Ella towards the wooden bench and sat down, pulling her onto his lap and wrapping his arms tightly around her, wincing as he watched a dark spot grow on his jeans where her cool tears fell onto them, pooling together, "Lilly-Ella, I'm really sorry, what did I do wrong?" He questioned softly, keeping his arms around her as he gently rubbed one hand over the back of her knuckles, where her hand was clenched into a fist on his knee.
Lilly-Ella's head lifted up and Matt felt his heart break slightly at the vulnerable look that seemed to shine in the young girl's blood shot eyes, "It's not your fault Matt," furiously, she wiped at her eyes, pulling her hand away from matt's, as he just held her close to him, concern etched into his features, "It's just that my Mom left me on the day that I was born and I haven't seen or heard from her since. G-d she must hate me, I probably ruined her life, and I know that I ruined her relationship with my Dad, even though he's still so obviously hopelessly in love with her. I ruin everything for everyone," Lilly-Ella sighed, pushing herself up from Matt's lap and heading over to the rail, staring into the distance as she gripped the railing, thoughts of how many peoples' lives would have turned out for the better if she had never been born running through her head.
She jumped as she felt two arms wrap around her waist, pulling her back slightly, "Don't Lilly-Ella," Matt whispered sternly, and she turned her face to look at him slightly, the bewilderment growing on her features, "Don't think that people would be better of without you, don't think that you don't make a positive impact, don't think that people don't need you."
Turning around with his arms still wrapped securely around her, Lilly-Ella looked Matt straight in the eye, trying to decipher how he seemed to know everything about her after only meeting her the day before, "How did you-"
Matt smiled softly, and lifted one hand from her waist to wipe away the remainder of her tears with the back of his hand, wrapping his arm tightly around her again as he looked her deeply in the eyes, "I might have only met you yesterday Star Girl, but I think that somehow I know you better than a lot of people, and I think that the same can already be said for you knowing me as well. Besides, with everything that you told me about you Dad, and those two that you said were already like brothers to you, Joe and David, I think they were called," he smiled once more as Lilly-Ella nodded slightly, her eyes still locked to his, "There's a lot of people who love you and would miss you like crazy if you weren't there, and I know for definite one person who would be at a loss without you."
"Who?" Lilly-Ella questioned, her brow wrinkling in confusion as Matt smiled down at her.
"Me Star Girl," he whispered slightly, as their faces drew slowly closer to one another, "You're already saving me," Matt whispered against her lips as they slowly joined, and he pulled her closer to him, allowing her arms to run up his chest and wrap around his neck, slowly twirling the ends of his sandy coloured hair in her finger tips.
Pulling away from each other, they stared into the others eyes for a good five minutes, "Wow," they muttered simultaneously, before bursting into laughter as Lilly-Ella buried her head into Matt's chest, shaking her head so that her curls fell around her face, her hands clutching at his white shirt as his were still wrapped around her waist.
Using two fingers, Matt gently placed them underneath Lilly-Ella's face and turned her head up so that they were once more eye to eye, "Star Girl, I know that I only met you yesterday, but I feel like I've known you my entire life, so I guess what I'm trying to say is…" Matt trailed off as he tried to think of the words, glancing down when a sweet giggle echoed around his ears, immediately bringing a smile to his face as he felt the warmth of her lips pressed up against his once more.
"I feel the same way," Lilly-Ella beamed, pulling back once more and grinning at him.
"Be my girlfriend?" Matt asked quietly, resting his forehead against hers.
"Of course," Lilly-Ella grinned, and felt herself pulled back into him for a third time, as they both grinned into the kiss.
Pulling back once more, Matt sighed and looked at his watch, feeling his eyes grow wide as Lilly-Ella watched in puzzlement, "Well I think that we can safely say that we've missed homeroom and half of first period and Mrs Danforth and Mrs Cross, the music teacher, are going to kill us for missing their homeroom and their music lesson, so without feeling like being tortured much more than two detentions, should we go and see if we can make it up to Mrs Cross?"
Giggling slightly, Lilly-Ella grabbed Matt's hand with her own and the two headed back down the stairs, thankful that the science classroom was still empty, and started to head down the corridor to music, praying that they wouldn't get into too much trouble.
"Lilly-Ella Bolton," a voice thundered from the end of the corridor, and immediately both teens froze and turned their wide eyes on each other, turning around slowly.
Lilly-Ella glared at Ryan as he walked down the corridor towards them chuckling, "Ahh, I love being a teacher here sometimes," Ryan chuckled as Lilly-Ella's glare intensified.
"Uncle Ryan, that wasn't even funny," Lilly-Ella scolded, releasing Matt and hitting her 'Uncle' over the shoulder, before hugging him tightly and taking back a hold of Matt's hand, "Don't you ever have classes to teach?"
"I could say the same thing to you," Ryan bantered as Matt watched in amusement at the scowl coursing across his girlfriends petite features, and another pair of chocolate coloured eyes watched from around the corner at the end of the corridor.
"I'm not a teacher here, so I can't teach the lessons, unless I take over yours for you," Lilly-Ella grinned cheekily.
Taylor decided to make her presence known and stepped around the corner, staring at the trio in the middle of the hallway, the young basketball stars arm wrapped around the beaming girl, as they both grinned at something that Ryan had just said.
Both Ryan and Taylor watched as Lily-Ella's eyes suddenly grew wide and her face drastically paled, her mouth opening and closing as she tried to form words that just wouldn't come, so instead she lifted her finger and pointed at something past Ryan, causing him to whip around and stare straight at Taylor, his face becoming a duplicate of Lilly-Ella's as he too tried to find the words to speak to the woman at the end of the hallway, and Matt just glanced between all three of them, a confused expression spreading over his face that turned to concern each time that he looked at Lilly-Ella.
"How do you know her Ryan?" Taylor choked out, "Who is she?"
Well that was chapter 6, I hope you guys liked it, and please review and tell me what you thought!
