The Cards You've Hidden, Been Dealt & are on the Table

Chapter Thirteen-Lucas

Hey! So funny story as I was writing this chapter I wrote part of it and then I had to leave it alone for a bit because I had stuff to do so when I came back to it I started writing in Lily's perspective so I had to go back and edit. Thankfully I didn't do it till the end but it was still an annoying bit. Heh. Yeah that was not fun.

So song for the chapter is "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. If you take out the romance it relates to the book a bit I think. Before you go thinking of Twilight, that's not why I know the song not why it's here. A couple years ago I went to a figuring skating contest and I saw this guy skating to this song and it beautiful. Now when I hear it I think of that if you want to think of Twilight go ahead but I didn't know it was in it till about a year and a half ago when I watched them for the first time.

If you have a song suggestion for the chapter comment it and label it chapter. If you want to hear it in general label it future in the comments. I'll be sure to put it in.

So here you go chapter thirteen enjoy!

I wake up still tired but refreshed enough to know we should probably get up. I look to my side and see Lily curled up into me still fast asleep. We're both used to waking up early because we would have to make Ronald breakfast or head out to school or get up early just to avoid him. Normally Lil would wake up too but I guess she is still so exhausted from everything that went down yesterday and just recently in general.

I decide I should let Lily rest for a bit longer so I just relax hugging my twin close to me knowing I won't be able to go back to sleep.

After letting her sleep for a while longer I feel her start to move. She yawns and then begins to speak, "hey Lu what time is it? You let me sleep some more didn't you?"

"It's eight and yes I did. You need the rest."

"Well we both know neither of us are going back to sleep so let's get up, maybe go try to find something to eat or drink. I'm thirsty." She yawns out while stretching carefully and trying to get up in bed.

I assist her getting up as I begin to speak. "Yeah let's go find the kitchen. First though I took a quick shower last night and I know you must still feel dirty so I'll help you wrap the stuff up for a shower. We still have some bags and stuff you can use to keep yourself dry where you need to and if you need help I'll come help."

Once she's out of bed I go over to our bags and I help her make sure everything will stay dry and then she heads into the shower. While she is in the shower I look around the room some and I see another two sets of clothes sitting there. I guess one of the boys brought them in after we fell asleep. I change quickly into them which is another set of pajamas and then knock on the bathroom door and enter.

"Hey Lil they brought another set of clothes in while we slept I'm gonna leave them on the counter for you." I call out as I enter the bathroom.

"Alright thanks Lulu. I'm almost done. Though I might need some help taking this stuff off." She calls back.

"Yeah no problem Lils." With that I walk out of the bathroom and head back into the room. I go over to the bag that holds our stuff and take out one of my journals and start to write.

After a bit I hear the water shut off and then a couple minutes later she walks out of the bathroom still with the protective stuff on and her hair wet. I get up from where I was sitting on the bed and walk over to her to help her take off all the stuff we put on to keep everything dry. I check it over as I do so and am glad to see that none of it got wet so I guess I did a better job at it than I thought. I help her brush her hair out again and once that's done she just lets it air dry hanging down.
