Lili went through her bags when suddenly a bottle of pills fell out. Slowly kneeling down, she gently picked it up, biting her lip she popped it open. Dropping two pills in her hand she took a shaken breath, she didn't want to take them but she felt like she needed too. Despite her learning to control herself around drugs she still had problems.
Just as she readied herself to dry swallow them, the door opened to reveal Caius. Lookin down at his mate, he furrowed his brows in confusion. "What are you doing?" He asks slowly, walking over and kneeling down to where she was on the floor.
"I-I wasn't going to take it. I-I swear." She shook her head furiously, clutching the bottle and the pills in her hands almost afraid he'd take them.
"It didn't look that way." Slowly he handed his hand out expectantly, "Give them." Sighing she slowly unclutched her hand and dropped the two pills in his hand along with the bottle. Which he quickly threw away and took her hands, examining her wrists and hands for any wounds.
She immediately frowned at how he felt the need to examine her for cuts. "What are you doing? I didn't cut myself if that's what you're checking for." She pushed away, standing up and walking over to her bag, zipping it up, hiding the two bottles she had in there. "I'm just being sure."
"Well you don't have too. I'm not your responsibility and I'm leaving in an hour so you shouldn't have to worry." She assured, grabbing her phone charger and slipping it in the pocket of her purse.
"Are you positive you want to leave in this condition?" He asks, looking at her hands, noticing the immense shaking. Her body craved the drug, she wanted it and the only way to get it was to leave. She knew he would stop her and make her stay until she was better and she didn't want that.
"I'm fine, it was just a little slip up. I have plenty of control over myself." She smiled, it was fake and he could tell. He frowned but chose not to speak on it, taking a seat on her desk chair he went through the many drawings she had scattered out. Lili grabbed her bags and set them by the door knowing Demetri or Felix would grab them for her.
Lili never forgiven Caius for that day but she didn't really care anymore. Everything he said was just him covering his true words, he cared. And despite him not wanting to admit it, they both knew and accepted it. She cared for him but of course she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of knowing.
"So I have to ask, what's going on with you and Demetri? You seem close." He asked, flipping through another one of her sketch books.
