Hi readers! So I didn't get the 5 reviews that I asked for which frustrated me non-stop but oh well. To get more review I am now ACCEPTING anonymous reviews!! Anyways so this chapter is a little short but I hope you enjoy.
"What is it?" Cody asked.
"I'm leaving the S.S Tipton." She said.
Lily's point of view
"What?" They all shouted at the same time.
"Lily you can't leave." Bailey said almost in tears. I opened my mouth to correct her but Cody jumped in.
"Yeah I mean you tamed Zack, no one thought that was possible." He said. "We need you around."
"And I still need to beat you in video games." Travis said laughing a little.
"I need you as my study buddy/shopping partner!" London gasped.
"I'll never taste your cake ever again." Woody said in tears. He was referring to the chocolate cake I made for Bailey's birthday.
"Lils I..." Zack started but I had enough they needed the truth.
"Guys stop." I said raising my voice slightly. "I'm not leaving forever."
"Your not?" They all said with a smile.
"No." I said laughing a little. "I just need to be with Nathan right now, get some things settled."
"Oh Lily you scared us." Bailey said letting out a shaky laugh. "So how long will you be gone?"
"Hopefully no more than a month." I said walking over to sit next to Zack.
"Hey Lily who's going to be your guardian now?" Travis asked me.
"I don't know that's one of the biggest things we need to figure out." I said putting my head on Zack's shoulder.
"When are you leaving?" London asked.
I didn't answer right away I just bit my lip. "Tomorrow."
No one said anything I just buried my face in Zack's neck. After a second he wrapped his arms around me.
"It will be okay Lily." Bailey said.
"Thanks Bailey." I said lifting my head. "Thank you all, you've been great."
"Were here for you Lily." Cody said smiling.
"Well I guess I better start packing." I said getting up then looking at Zack. "Can you come with me?"
"Sure." He said standing up.
"Hey Lily." London called as we walked away. "Girls night in our room tonight?"
"Sure that would be great." I smiled
When we got back to my room Zack got out my suitcase while I went into my closet to start getting clothes out. For about 10 minutes I just wandered around the room packing some outfits. I felt Zack staring at me and when I looked up indeed he was watching me.
"What?" I asked laughing slightly.
"Nothing." He laughed. I set my clothes down and walked over to him. I sat down on his lap and felt his arms circle around me.
"I'm going to miss you." I said quietly.
"I'll miss you too Lils." He said then buried his face in my hair. "This will probably the longest we've ever been away from each other."
"It's true." I said coming to that realization as well. "At Christmas break we where only apart for almost a week."
We just sat in the silence for a few minutes. Enjoying the time we had together until I left.
"What's wrong babe?" He said turning me slightly so I was looking at him. "I see that worried look on your face."
"I'm not worried." I lied. Damn he knew me too well.
"Lillian Cecelia Katherine Parker I know something's wrong."
"I knew you would use my full name against me one day." I laughed.
"Come on."
"You'll think I'm crazy." I said playing with the ring on my finger. It was the one Zack gave me at Christmas and I've never take it off unless I absolutely had to. I tend to play with it a lot without even knowing.
"You are crazy Lily." He laughed kissing my temple. "That one of the things I love about you, so tell me."
"I'm kind of nervous to be away from you." I said quickly
"What do you mean you've been away from me before." He said confused.
"I know but I mean in this state of emotional stress." I explained. "Being around you calms me and makes me feel better."
"Well I'm glad I can do that but don't worry you'll have Nathan with you."
"That's true."
"And if you can call me whenever you need to."
"Thank you." I smiled turning my head to kiss him.
"No problem, now you should go get your packing done." He said lifting me onto my feet.
"Fine." I sighed walking back over to my clothes.
_____Bailey's point of view_____
Right now I was getting ready for a date I had with Cody tonight. I was texting Lily as I was getting ready; she was having a pretty rough time with Nathan down in NYC.
L: Ughh it's just a lot to get done. Very emotional going through all this stuff.
B: I understand, hang in there and remember were here for ya ;)
L: Thanks Bails! Well we have a meeting to deal with the house so I'll talk to you later
B: Bye
"Hey Bailey, you ready to go?" Cody said coming into my room.
"Yeah let's go." I said getting up and putting my phone in my pocket.
We were going to a restaurant on the ship, our favorite place to go. As we walked we talked about the events of the day, mostly the same old same old. We got to the restaurant and ordered. Cody seemed to be in a weird mood, I couldn't figure out why.
"You okay?" I asked as we waited for our food.
"Yeah I'm fine." He smiled taking my hand.
"Hey what time is it?" I asked looking around for a clock.
"7:30."
"Oh!" I said quickly taking out my phone. "I have to call Lily and see how her meeting went!"
"Can't you do it later?" He said sounding a little annoyed.
"No, she has to fly to Santa Barbara tomorrow so she will be asleep soon."
"Come on Bailey, we haven't been able to spend a lot of time together lately."
"I know Cody but this will only take a few minutes then we can get back on with our date." I said getting a tad frustrated.
"Just spend tonight with me and call her tomorrow. Let Zack take care of her, why do you have to be so worried?"
"Cody! She's my friend." I said raising my voice slightly. "She's going through a hard time and I want to be there for her!"
"I know but she isn't your responsibility." He said raising his voice too. "It starting to sound like you care about Lily more than me!"
"Cody now that's just stupid!"
"Well that's what it feels like!"
"Fine, whatever." I said walking out of the restaurant.
I walked back to my room with tears starting to form in my eyes. Maybe I was being a little over protective but Cody knows how much this has affected Lily and how close we are. I just can't believe he would say those things.
I opened the door to my room to find London doing some meditation.
"Uhommmm moneyyyyyy." She said with her eyes closed. She turned to look and me then got up quickly. "Bailey what's wrong?"
"Cody and I got into a fight." I sniffed.
"Awwhh." She said giving me a hug. "I told you to dump him when you got the chance."
_____Lily's point of view___
"Okay well maybe I'll call Bailey later and talk to her." I said to Zack on the phone. "Thanks I'll talk to you later, love you bye."
"Almost ready Lily?" Nathan asked from his bedroom.
"Yeah ready when you are." I signed putting on my coat.
Things didn't seem to be going well anywhere. Bailey and Cody haven't been talking in a week and London ran out of her favorite eye make-up and is freaking out. Woody heard someone having a birthday party and ran to get some cake but when he ran down the stasis he fell and broke his arm. Travis is having problems in Science and both Bailey and Cody can't help him because there upset about their fight. As for me, let's just say my guardianship meeting was today.
Nathan and I took his car to the meeting and I got more and more nervous as we got there. We where the last to arrive at the meeting. When we walked in there were three men sitting around the table talking.
"Hello there." A bald man with tiny glasses said to us.
"Hello Mr. Davison, Mr. Wells, Mr. Conrad." Nathan said shaking their hands.
"Nice to see you again Nathan." Mr. Conrad said then turned to me. "And you too Lillian."
We sat down and Mr. Davison took out some papers and adjusted his little glasses.
"Now in your fathers will unfortunately was left unfinished." He said. All I could think of at that moment was "damn".
"He filled out most of it but this particular subject he was undecided." Mr. Wells added.
"Since your parents were divorced the only logical solution I can see if for Lillian to be under the care of her mother Jessica." Mr. Davison continued.
"No." Nathan and I said immediately.
"Well since your father never wrote anything else I don't know what else we can do." Mr. Wells said in a stern voice. "Anyone else we would have to do a background check on, it will take time we do not have."
"I'm not living with my mother." I said getting so frustrated tears started to form in my eyes.
"And I won't let her stay with our mother." Nathan said raising his voice just a little.
"What about my aunt Katherine?" I suggested looking at Nathan who nodded in agreement. "She's more of a mother to me then my real mom."
"I'm sorry Lillian but we don't have time for that." Mr. Conrad said.
I looked at Nathan who could see the frustration on my face. He leaned over and whispered in my ear.
"Go out and wait in the lobby." I looked up in shock, about to protest but he continued before I did. "I don't want this to stress you out, go out there and I promise I will take care of this."
I knew I could trust him so I got up and walked into the lobby of the law building we were in. I was used to this place because this is one of my dad's company buildings.
"Do you need anything Miss Parker?" The receptionist asked me when I sat down.
"No thanks Selena." I took the liberty of knowing everyone's name who works with my dad.
I paced around, sat down, paced some more, had Selena get me water, paced again and then Nathan came out.
"So?" I asked. "Did you get Aunt Katherine?"
He shook his head. "No."
I signed walking over to him. "Thanks for trying Nate."
"But." He started. "I did get you another option but they're leaving the decision up to you."
"Okay." I said urging him to go on.
"So you can go with mom."
"Meh." I said wording my desire to live with my mom.
"Or if you want." He said dragging it out. "I could be your guardian."
"Really?!"
"Yeah." He laughed.
"Nathan I would love that but do you really want your little sister to live with you?" I asked. "I can't ask you to do that."
"Lily really I don't mind." He smiled. "Nothing would please me more."
"Thanks Nate." I said hugging him.
"Okay well let's go fill out the paper work." He said.
"Okay."
I breathed a sigh of relief. Things where starting to look a little better and I hoped it would continue this way.
Ending on a happy note :) Thanks for reading. Please x10000 review haha yes I was reviews so much I said please a ten thousand times :P
