We where all in our own rooms now, getting dressed in formal clothing.

i had chosen the dark blue button up and some black dress jeans, george is wearing a mocha colored button up and a black suit as well.

the time was about 11:45 now and the brit's should be arriving soon.

me and george where ready, him with only the ankle holster and i, well, covered in blades. my button up was only buttoned up half way and rested, showing my entire chest.

as me and george stood in the closet, still arranging all the clothing and jewelry we had bought only hours before, we became bored very quickly.

i stepped into the actual bedroom, staring at my walls with various things listed on them.

"i'm going to lily's room" i said before leaving my own, as well as george behind.

i trailed down the hallway, not walking fast but not slow either

i knocked on the door while opening it at the same time

as the door slipped open i was amazed to see noah standing against a wall with a screw driver in his hand.

i walked in, shutting the door behind me, making sure fundy doesn't escape.

i watched the little red fox approached me so i reached down and picked him up softly, resting him on my shoulders.

then lily came from her closet.

She was wearing that pink dress she had picked out only that morning and her hair was tied back in a diamond claw clip.

"you look good" i smiled softly at her presence and she smiled back

then i turned to noah who was in my sisters room.

she noticed me staring because then she began to speak again

"he's helping me put up a shelf for all my yarn" she quickly said and handed him something which appeared to be screws.

"okay" i skeptically walked over to her desk and glared down at all the jewlery she hasn't organized yet.

i turned around and watched as noah held up a large shelf that she couldn't hold up herself. his arms where exposed, he seemed to be purposely flexing more than needed while holding the shelf. there was no reason for this.

"the brit's should be here any minute" i said calmly and pulled fundy from my shoulders, tossing him onto the bed.

"yeah" lily replied softly and screwed the final screw into the wall.

they backed away slowly and skeptically, not knowing if the shelf would hold.

after a moment lilys hands raised into the air and she smiled widely towards noah

"thank you" she gave him a high five and came my direction.

noah nodded my direction and i watched him leave the room. i sat at rest, on lily's bed, watching as she went back and forth lining up yarn on the shelves. she looked so grown for a 12 year old, i fear i might have taken her from her child hood.

"lily" i said softly and stared her direction

she turned around slowly and her face emotions softened as she saw me

"do you miss arizona" i asked bluntly, avoiding eye contact

she sighed deeply and came to sit on the bed, next to me.

"sometimes, i miss my friends. they still think i'm on a family trip" she laughed slightly and looked at me

"do you ever miss just being free, being able to do anything without having to worry" i laid down onto her bed, on my back and staring at the ceiling.

"there was never being free, i was always worried. i worried for you, for your safety, clay you where the only thing that kept me from running away." i felt her cool fingers on my arm, comforting me

"why didn't you" i let out a deep breath

"because i knew you would have rained hell down to find me and i didn't want to risk that on any of my friends" she stood up and walked towards her desk

"that's valid" i shrugged off the topic, really trying to stall for the brit's

"lily i need you to know something" i started and sat up, facing her and staring into her soul

"okay?" she said slowly, not sure of what i was going to say

"the last day i saw mom" i began and suddenly felt regret

she didn't respond, she just nodded

"she left you with me and dad. she knew dad wasn't fit but she left anyway" i tried to explain this to her but i felt her getting angry

"why wasn't dad fit" she was trying to get anything out of me that she could

this is a moment i had dreaded for a life time.

"He was a good father at first, taught me to fish, taught me to be a man. But he was a really sexist person, he thought as if mom was a slave" my words left my mouth with a slur because i knew lily would get it soon

"then we found out mom was pregnet with you, a baby girl" i froze in my position, our eyes locked

"it went wrong because of me" she was quiet and kept still, i could sense her sorrow from here. i quickly reached for her hands, feeling her shaking body.

"he became a drunk and got really abusive, mom ran once she got a job offer elsewhere and i dropped out of school at 11 to take care of you" i quickly said because i could feel her becoming extremely emotional

"you dropped everything for me" she was shaking terribly and i began to feel horrible

"i did but it was worth it" i pulled her into a hug, feeling the rhinestone dress against my bare chest

"i'm sorry" she broke down into my neck, she thought it was her fault but it wasn't, it was mine.

"please don't be sorry" i ran my hand up and down her back, attempting to calm her in any way possible.

"lily please listen to me" i backed away from her for a moment and looked into her glossy eyes

"it's not your fault, it was dads" i smiled softly and she returned the same vibe

"what ever happened to him anyway" she began to wipe the tears from her face, doing her best not to ruin the makeup she spent an hour on.

"he uhm-" i started my sentence not knowing where to go because there is no way i could tell her the truth but then the watch on my wrist suddenly started vibrating

"bloody hell" i clenched my wrist immediately and stood up, bolting for the door

"clay what's wrong?" she suddenly stood up and came to my aid

"something's wrong" i began and jumped out the door, seeing everyone already in the hallway clenching their wrists

i heard lily try to say something but i was to involved in the moment to hear her.

"the hell is happening?!" zak jumped from his room and met me in the front of the hallway,

we glared into the main rooms, not seeing anything wrong but then we saw noah and techno erupt from the left stairwell.

techno was dressed in a hot pink button up, his hair messily tied up in a claw clip, he was wearing a sword looking necklace that rested in about the middle of his chest.

although they didn't seem on guard at all

"it's wilbur's dumbass" techno stated and walked to the island

"ofcourse" i scoffed and released my grip on my wrist slightly

"false alarm guys" i heard zak turn around and yell at everyone

"the brit's are here" i began as george and lily came to my sides

"here goes nothing" george sounded extremely nervous as did lily
