Trouble In The Water

✿ Chapter 2 ✿

Lily (Present)

"Get your ass down here!" My annoying aunt screams at the top of her fucking lungs.

I sigh, knowing I can't avoid the inevitable. I tuck my phone into the back of my jean shorts, the same ones from last night, and walk across the hall waiting for my beating.

"What is it Aunt Mandy?" I ask stifling a laugh at the sound of her name. Mandy. Aunt Mandy. That sounds so stupid.

"I told you to be home by midnight. I stayed up past 2:00am waiting for you!" She scoffs even though she would've been up anyways.

But 2:00am huh. I was out with that boy that long?

"Oh please, you know damn well you were up that late because the man of the week was over. You wouldn't stay up that late for me."

"You're right I wouldn't. Frankly you're not worth the time or energy. But nevertheless, I have to be somewhere today. Otherwise you and I would be having a much longer conversation," she smirks knowing she hit a nerve.

I bite my tongue not wanting to lash out and give her a reason to cancel whatever plans she has.

"Whatever."

"I'm going down to Figure 8. You better have the house squeaky clean when I get back or we'll continue this conversation."

She walks out the door but not before making sure to knock over her glass of old scotch that her hundred year old boyfriend probably brought over.

"Oops."

As soon as she walks out the front door I scream into the grey fuzzy blanket on the couch. I'm so sick of this bitch. She wastes a good amount of my foundation having to cover up the bruises.

I start cleaning up the house as quick as I can. She said the house better be clean when she gets home. But she never said I had to be there.

༄

It took me a good fucking hour to clean up the house. You'd think it's easy because it's small but the amount of shit this woman has is insane.

I sigh knowing I can finally go down to the wreck. My favorite damn place to eat.

I pull out my old cracked phone to check the time. 11:46am. Perfect. I'll get there around noon and maybe Kiara will let me work for a bit. After I eat of course.

I walk outside to my bike and pull it up off the ground. I hop on and start riding to the wreck, and surprisingly it goes by quite fast and before I know it I'm in front of the familiar restaurant.

I happily run inside and see Kie taking orders. She has a neutral colored top on and jean shorts. We aren't best friends because I just know her from this place, but I'd consider her as one of my close friends. Maybe my only...

"Lily! I haven't seen you in forever!" Kie exclaims pulling me into a hug. "I need your weed girl," she whispers causing me to burst out into laughter.

"I know, I know. But I've missed you too. I stole a bit of my aunts on the way out," I mutter winking at her patting my ass where the weed is.

"Of course you did," she sighs, not shocked in the least.

"Kie!" I hear a voice shout causing me to turn my head so fast I think I got whiplash.

One boy come jogging up, I believe his name is Pop? He has dark brown hair, brown eyes, and has old-looking clothes on.

"Kie come on! We've gotta go! We're gonna be late for the movie!" he exclaims trying to seem happy, but he looks rather... nervous?

"Shit I almost forgot Pope! Is John B coming?" She questions. I really hope John B comes. I haven't seen him in awhile.

Oh so that's his name.

"Nope, he's been MIA..." he trails off.

"Oh that's weird... Is JJ in the car?" She questions.

"Yep."

I pray silently that it's the same JJ I met last night.

He's so fucking hot.

Just as I think I'm about to get left Kiara grabs my arm and pulls me along.

"I'm only coming if she is. Oh, and let's tell her about the gold."
