Ps: The Authors note at the end is VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ :)
Zack's point of view
It was a short drive back to the house from the hotel. Once we got there I pulled Lily up to her room and sat down on the bed with her. I just held her and let her cry out her emotion. After 30 minutes or so she started to speak more.
"Why am I so emotional?" She said putting her head in her hands.
"Lily you're going through a very dramatic and emotional time." I said brushing the hair back from her face. "It will take awhile for you to get back to normal."
"Am I becoming depressed?" She cried from my arms.
"No, no." I said. "Your just really fragile and your emotions are taking over sometimes, don't worry it will pass."
"But I don't this!" She yelled. "I feel weak and miserable."
"I know but it's only because you still have the dramatic thoughts of you dad." I explained. "Once you forget that and remember the good thing of your dad's life this will stop."
She was silent for awhile as I took off her high heels. I figured it was time she got some rest. I looked up at her outfit; she was wearing a black dress with a black mini short sleeved sweater over it. I was about to suggest that she go change into something more comfy but she pulled me back onto the bed before I could.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing." She sniffed wiping her tears away. "I just needed this."
She placed her hand on the back of my neck and pulled me into a very passionate kiss. At first I didn't mind when it turned from a kiss to making out but then I felt that the kiss wasn't normal. Usually there is just passion but this was more of a forced, aggressive passion.
"Lils what's going on?" I asked knowing something was wrong.
"Shhh." She smiled placing her finger seductively on my mouth. "I just love you."
She pushed me down so I was lying on her bed with my back somewhat propped up by the pillows. She slowly pulled off the sweater she had on and then I realized why she had it on in the first place. Under it was the top of her dress that was strapless with a very low cut sweetheart neckline. She got up on the bed and moved on me so she was straddling my waist. I was about to ask once again what this was but she cut me off with another aggressive kiss. Without breaking the kiss she started to unbutton the shirt I was wearing. She was trying to get it off when I stopped her.
"Lily what are you doing?"
"Please Zack." She said in a bit of a shaky voice. "Just make me to forget."
"Lily no." I said taking her hands so she could take off any more clothes. "This isn't what I meant by forgetting."
"But it's a fun way to forget."
"Lily your not thinking this threw your just vulnerable right now." I said looking right into her eyes so she would understand. "You don't want this."
"Yes I do." She said getting frustrated. "I love you and I want to be with you right now."
"Lily this is the emotion I was talking about. It's taking over; you don't know what you're doing."
She kisses me again with the most passion ever. It was still forced but it took me back for a second. I knew if she kept this up I might not be able to stop myself.
"That's enough." I said pulling away from her. I grabbed my shirt and walked out of the room and went into the living room.
AN :( I know that seemed a little strange but this kind of thing happens so people trust me. You might do anything to forget some things. Also some people may think it's a little early for the sex and what not but there 17 obviously they think about these things)
I was downstairs for about 30 minutes just watching TV before I heard Lily come down.
"Hey Lils." I said when she reached the living room. She had changed from her dress to black yoga pants and a blue-t shit. Her eyes were still red so I guessed she had been crying again.
"Are you mad at me?" She asked in a very small voice.
"No babe of course not." I said. "Come here."
She slowly walked forward and curled up on my lap.
"I'm so sorry Zack." She said with tears in her eyes.
"Lily I understand that you weren't thinking straight, its fine." I smiled taking her hands. "Why were you crying upstairs?"
"At what point?" She said with a small smile.
"After I left and came down here."
"Well at first I was crying because I felt rejected by you, then after awhile of calming down I started crying because I was acting like such an idiot." She explained.
"Your felt rejected?" I said slightly shocked.
"Yeah at first." She shrugged. "I thought you left because you didn't want me."
"Oh Lily." I laughed. "Of course I wanted you."
"Really?"
"Yes, you had no idea how hard it was for me to resist you." I said. "You just looked so beautiful and sexy but I knew that you weren't yourself. As much as I wanted to give in I didn't want to have us regretting it at some point in the future."
"Thank you Zack." She smiled and hugged me. "For not taking advantage of me in my emotional state."
"I would never." I said giving her a quick kiss. I had to smile after because I felt the real passion in this kiss, not the aggressive passion like before. "Okay you should probably go to sleep for awhile."
"Good idea." She said with a yawn. She stood up and walked around to the back of the couch then kissed me.
"If you need me I'll be right here." I said as she started up the stairs.
I watched TV until everyone else got back.
"Hey Zack." Cody said waking into the house with everyone else behind him.
"Hello."
"Where's Lily?" Nathan asked.
"Upstairs asleep." I said following them to the kitchen.
"That's good, she needs the rest." He said breathing sign of relief.
"Yeah so anything exciting happen before we came?" Bailey asked.
"Nope not at all." I answered.
___The next day__
I woke up the next morning shocked by the time. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 11:30am. I sat up and noticed that Travis, Cody and Woody where still asleep too. We were probably all so tired from yesterday. I walked out into the hall and it sounded pretty quiet. I thought everyone was still asleep when I heard something coming from the kitchen. As I got closer to the kitchen I heard the noise kind of sounded like an argument.
"I can't believe her!"
"Lily come on we don't know the whole story yet."
"We left 4 messages and sent 6 e-mails Nate!"
"Calm down she must have a good reason, we will call her later."
I walked into the kitchen and saw Nathan and Lily fully dressed. Nathan next to the island with his coffee and Lily sitting on the counter opposite him.
"Good Morning Zack" Nathan said when I walked in.
"Morning Nathan" I said walking over and stood next to Lily. "Morning."
"Hello there" she laughed.
"So what's the problem?" I asked. "I heard stressed talking."
"We were just trying to figure out why Jessica wasn't at the funeral yesterday."
I had to think for a minute but they were right. Lily and Nathans mom Jessica wasn't there yesterday.
"Was the divorce really that bad that she would go?" I asked.
"No" Nathan said. "They weren't extremely close but they didn't hate each other."
"And she can't say she didn't know because we called and e-mailed" Lily said.
"It just doesn't add up" Nathan said with a puzzled look. "When we told her that dad had died she seemed upset."
"That's it I'm calling her" Lily said jumping off the counter and dialing the phone.
We were all silent as Lily waited for someone to pick up the phone.
"Hi mom" Lily said into the phone. "It's Lily I was just wondering what in the world possessed you to miss dad's funeral. So when you get this please call me, Nathan and I are that the house in Cali just so you know. Alright bye."
"Ugh" She said hanging up the phone. "She better call back this time."
"Don't worry about it now Lils" I said as she walked over to the table.
"I'll try not too" She said as I sat down next to her.
"Morning!" Travis called as everyone walked into the kitchen. Did they all wake up at the same time or was that planed?
"Hey guys" I said when they joined us at the table.
The morning was pretty chill; Lily made us a breakfast of pancakes and fruit.
"Hey Lily did you eat anything?" Nathan asked as we were all clearing the plates from the table.
"No" Lily said simply. I looked up and saw Nathans expression, a mix of confusion and slight panic. I must have had a similar look because Nathan gave me a nod then took me into the family room.
"That's not good" He said rubbing the back of his neck and pacing back n forth. "I'm not going crazy am I? I mean I'm not the only one noticing her eating habits changing?"
"Nah I've noticed too" I said leaning against the wall. "I also noticed how she looks thinner and tired."
"What do I do? What do I say? Oh god this is the first time I actually have to be like a father to Lily and I don't know what to do!" Nathan said freaking out.
I had to feel bad for Nathan; this isn't something he was used too. At his age and with this life style the last thing he would need to think about is being a father. I knew that he was determined to take good care of Lily but this was too much too fast.
"Alright let's calm down" I said. "For now let's just keep an eye on her maybe it's just stress."
"Ok" He said trying to breath normally again. "That sounds good."
We walked back into the kitchen to everyone decided what to do today.
"So what did I miss?"
"We were just talking about the plan for today" Bailey said.
"How about I drive you guys up to the mall?" Nathan said walking over to us.
"Ooooo shopping!" London exclaimed.
"Oh yeah you guys will love it" Lily said. "It's huge."
"Let's go." Cody said.
We all got our things together and were ready to leave.
"Everyone ready?" Nathan asked.
"I'll get it." Lily said when the phone rang. "Nathan!"
"Uh oh" He said looking down the hall were Lily just appeared. "What?"
"Mom."
"Ohh" He said turning towards us. "Um okay Mr. Moseby you can drive so can you take everyone to the mall?"
"Sure but I don't know where it is."
"It's real easy just go onto the main road and get on I-94 you can't miss it" He said. "We'll meet you guys there later."
"Alright kids lets go" Mr. Moseby said as Nathan ran into the other room.
Lily's point of view
Nathan and I went into the living room to talk to mom. We sat down and I put the phone on speaker.
"Hi Mom" Nathan said.
"Hey guys" She said in a worried tone. Yeah she better be worried if she doesn't have a good excuse. "How are you doing?"
"Fine, fine were all fine how lets here it." I snapped.
"Lily.." Nathan said giving me a look that said stop that.
"Look guys I really wanted to be at the funeral, really I did" She defended.
"Then why weren't you?" Nathan asked.
"I was planning on going but" She trailed off as if not wanting to tell us more. "I got a call from Charles Davis."
I looked at Nathan very confused. Charles Davis worked with my dad, they were very close. He did work at the main office and some banking.
"So what did he say?" I asked.
"Well..you see he" She trailed on "He threated to have to arrested if I came to the funeral."
"What? Why?" I asked not sure if I should ask, fearing the answer.
"He would have to accusations to place you under arrest." Nathan wondered. "Would he?"
"See that's the thing he would." She said quickly.
"Mom!" I somewhat yelled. "What did you do?"
"Ok, okay I stole some money from your father."
"Oh god." Nathan said putting his head in his hands.
"Mom how could you do that."
"I don't know it was stupid and selfish." She explained. "I was having money problems and I didn't know what to do."
"There was other ways mom stealing is never the answer." Nathan said.
"You could have just asked dad maybe he could have helped you."
"I know." She signed.
"Wait how long ago was this?" Nathan asked with sudden curiosity.
"Not long after the divorce." She answered.
"Oh yes how it makes sense." He said.
"What are you talking about Nate?" I asked feeling totally out of the loop.
"You were too little to remember but after the divorce I remember there was a big upraise about dad losing money and it took awhile before anyone knew what happened." Nathan went on. "Once dad found out he didn't press any charges and he told no one except Charles."
"But that was so long ago, how can he do anything now?" I asked.
"Since he works with dad and he was involved in the situation he can press charges since dad isn't here." Nathan explained.
"Exactly, he said I would be the last person he would ever let in because of all I've done to your father." Mom piped in. "I'm I somewhat forgiven? I understand if I'm not this was a big deal."
"I suppose, it's not really your fault." Nathan said.
"And you can always come to the burial in a few days." I said.
"Of course I will." She said quickly.
"We will talk to Charles first; get him off your back so there won't be any more trouble." Nathan added.
"Wonderful then I will see you both then." She said.
"No" I said sadly. "Nathan will be there but I have to go back to school."
"I'll call you tomorrow mom to let you know how everything does with Charles."
"Ok." She said. "Bye guys love you."
"Love you too." We both said as Nathan hung up the phone.
"Oh Lily." He signed pinching the bridge of his nose. "We have a strange family life."
"True enough." I laughed. "But it could be worse."
"So ready to go to the mall?" He asked after we sat in silence for a few seconds.
"Yup let's go."
_____The next day____
We walked thru the airport looking for gate 22. Today we were all heading back to the S.S Tipton. Once we got to the gate it was like to leave my brother.
"Bye Nate." I said hugging him. "Put some lilies on dad's grave for me?"
"Of course I will." He said letting me go. "Have fun at school and I will get all your stuff into your new room."
"Great thanks Nathan." I smiled. "I will call you in a few days."
"Alright." He said the turned to everyone else. "Bye guys thanks so much for coming."
"No problem." They all said back.
"Alright kids let's get on this plane before it leaves us here." Mr. Moseby said.
I took Zack's hand as we walked down the hall to the plane. I turned back for a second to wave to Nathan. Once we were on the plan it was pretty late and we were all tired.
Zack and I sat together on the plan with Bailey and London in front of us. Woody, Travis and Cody were across from us and Mr. Moseby was behind us.
"Zack?" I asked as we took off.
"Yeah babe?"
"What time is it?"
"11." He said looking at his watch. "Tired?"
"Mhm."
"Come here." He said pushing the arm rest that was between us back so I could lay on him. We were both turned so his back was against the wall and I was against his chest and he wrapped his arms around me.
The rest of the flight was peaceful. Full of good dreams about all my friends. I was somewhat excited to get back to the ship and school…although the school year was almost over.
