After breakfast, we headed back to the girls' house. Harry and Lucy kept the conversation between the three of us going well. They were pretty good at keeping it natural, but notice I only said three.
Lily on the other hand was quiet. A little too quiet, for me at least. She ate her breakfast in silence after we made our plans for tonight. She may have been tired, but speaking while being tired has never been a problem for her before. As we drove home, we began to make plans for tonight. Harry decided it'd be best if he took his car and Lucy, due to the fact that he had to work in the morning, so he'd be able to head straight home. Lucy decided to head to Harry's house with him so he could get ready, and he'd take her back home when he finished, so she could get ready. Same thing with Lily and I, so hopefully on our way to my house, she would tell me what was bothering her.

"See you guys tonight!" Lucy exclaimed as she jumped out the car as Harry followed. Harry then came to my window and leaned down a bit.

"Thanks for the ride, see you both tonight," Harry said as he gave me a quick hand shake.

"Anytime, see you soon man," I answered. The two then turned around to make their way into Harry's house. As they walked, I turned back to Lily, who was leaning against the car door.

As I put the car in drive, I started to slowly take off to my house. As I started the drive, I placed my hand gently on Lily's knee.

"You're quiet," I simply said, while looking at the road ahead. Her head turned towards me and then soon back to the window.

"Just tired," she said back with the same emotion. I frowned a bit, knowing something was bothering her. Even tired, she had a bit of joy in her tone. But she just seemed so... drained.

"Are you sure? Hun, you seem a bit.. I don't know.."

"I'm fine.. really. Just.. tired," she answered with the same tone as before while keeping her head towards the window.

I didn't believe her. If I'm being honest, I couldn't believe her. I knew she was lying.

"Are you sure..? You know I'm here if you need to talk," I said while rubbing my thumb on her knee while my hand continued to rest there.

"I'm fine Jared, just forget about it," she said now with a bit more stern voice.

"Forget about what?" I asked, now knowing there's definitely something going on.

"Seriously! It's nothing," she said now raising her voice a bit while finally turning her head towards me.

"Honey, I'm just trying to make sure you're okay," I said trying to reassure her.

"Well stop," she firmly said turning her whole body now towards the window. She pulled her leg a bit closer to her, causing me to barely be able to touch her. I pulled my hand back and I was very taken back to say the least. What the hell was going on with her?

"Lily-"

"Jared! Drop it!" She said raising her voice even more now. I was shocked. She's never yelled at me. Never acted this way. And I don't know how to feel. I want to find out what's going on but I also don't ever want her to speak to me like this again so I don't want to trigger her. Was this going to be our first fight?...
