White Lies

Chapter 8

Chapter : 8 -

Samuel's p o v :

I'm standing on the dance floor waiting for Lilith to start singing. Although I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm really disappointed that Mia dragged Lilith away from me but, atleast I'll get to see her sing with that beautiful voice of hers.

I drag my gaze from my shoes to look at Lilith. She suddenly drops the mic and is staring wide-eyed at someone. I follow her line of sight and my breath is snatched away from me, in a swift tug. Elliot, it's been years since I last saw him. My role model when I was a kid until, he left me. What the hell is he doing here and why is Lilith so scared of him? Right, Lilith.

I turn around, looking for Lilith but she isn't infront of the crowd anymore. My eyes wander every place there is and all her stuff is gone, her coat, the gifts she had with her. I have a feeling the something bad's gonna happen.

I follow her outside. I run towards her when I see her. She trips on a rock and falls on her face. I would have laughed, if not for the panic and tensed state she's in right now. I run upto her and try help her get up.

"Go away!" She cries and moves away.
"Are you okay?" I ask quietly and relief washes over her face and her shoulders loose some tension as she looks at me.

"I'm not okay." She whispers and wipes her tears. "Can you-uh" She stutters. I tilt my head in question. "Can I what?" I urge her to continue. Before she can talk I ask. "Is it okay if I drop you home? You seem shaken and disturbed it won't be right if I let you go home like this." She chuckes softly. "I was gonna ask that cause I'm scared to go home alone."

I smile softly at her. "Okay, lets go. I'll drop you home safely." I stand up and offer my hand for her to get up. She grabs it and stands up. We silently walk to my car, holding hands, she didn't let go of my hand after she stood up so I let it be. I open the passenger seat of my car and close it after she sits. Then I get in the driver's seat.

"Your address?" I ask and start driving when she says it. Its bugging me, I wanna know how she knows Elliot. I contemplate for a few minutes and decide to give it a shot.

"So I was wondering how you know Elliot?"

"Who's Elliot?" she asks confused
"The guy- uh when you saw him you were all shocked and ran away?" I ask confused I'm sure she was looking at him. "Um- I don't know what you'ree talking about." She mutters and its clear that she is lying but I don't push her maybe she doesn't wanna talk about it. "Alright."

We reach her home in 20 minutes. Its been 5 minutes and Lilith has been staring at her feet, I think she didn't realize we reached her home. I get out and open the door for her. She flinches and looks at me

"Oh we're here." she says with fake realization and steps out. She stands there for a few minutes, staring at what I assume is her home and sighs.

"I'm sorry for troubling you and thank you so much." She apologizes.

"Its completely fine. Its the least I could do." I say truthfully. She smiles and says.

"I should head inside. I'll see you around I guess."
"
Yeah,maybe. Bye, take care."

I wave at her.
                             She waves back.

She goes inside and I drive back home.
