Chapter 10

Julia's POV

"Where were you?!?" I turned around and my mom was standing behind me with the most worried, mad face I've ever seen. I didn't respond, I just stared at her. "You didn't answer your phone, and I couldn't track your location!" She sounded tired and annoyed. I couldn't just not speak so I said, "I was doing something important, and I don't feel like talking about it right now, so if you please excuse me I'm going to go to bed." I walked past her and went to my room. I threw my coat on the floor and got right into bed. I was so tired from running and my legs felt like jello. I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep but I couldn't so I ended up staring at a wall and thinking about life for three hours. When it was obvious that I wasn't going to bed anytime soon I got up and went to my art room. The door made a loud creak sound behind me and my footsteps were not quiet at all. Why is everything so much louder at night? After I opened and closed another creaky door, I flipped on the light switch and got back to work on the painting I was working on before.

Lily's POV

We got into Elizabeth's apartment and I was so tired. "Hey I think I'm going to go to bed." She looked at me with a numb expression on her face. "I'll do the same. Good night Lily." "Night." I went to my room and almost tripped over Henry sitting down in the middle of entrance. I smiled and picked him up and placed him down in bed with me. I thought about all the bad things in the world and I petted him every time I got sad. It was like he was magical because every problem seemed to disappear every time I pet him. I adjusted myself because I wanted to go to bed and he inched closer. I shut my eyes and listened to my breathing and cars passing by.

Lily's POV
I woke up to Henry falling on top of me. For some reason he thought it would be a good idea to climb on top of the shelf that was right above my bed, and do weird poses on it. I'm guessing he accidentally fell off and landed on my arm. Anyways, i have two days to pack, and I'm dreading the day when I step back into that house. I don't have much to pack anyways based on the fact that I've only been here for two weeks. I started moving all my clothes into my bag and leaving out the ones I would wear for the next two days in organized piles on my desk. I went over to my phone to check what time it was, but it was dead. I never got the chance to charge it yesterday. I plugged in my phone and then I moved onto packing my things from the bathroom. After I did that, I zipped up my suitcase and put it on the floor next to my bed.

Henry looked at me with his head tilted and I went over and scratched behind his ear. During the whole time I had been packing, I'd convinced myself that I wasn't hungry. Now there was no more convincing myself. I went to the kitchen to find some cereal to eat. Elizabeth had still not come out of her room. I didn't want to either but I have stuff to do today. I poured myself a bowl and sat at the counter while scrolling through my phone. I almost spit out my cereal when I saw a post from the News that was covering a story on my Kidnapping. Fantastic. Now more attention is going to be called to myself and that is not what I want right now. I finished my food and wrote a note that said "Hey, I'm going out to do some things while I'm still free. I'm planning to be home by 2:00. See ya soon. -Lily" and left it on the table. I threw on a coat and my shoes and went outside.

*Another Time Skip Cause I'm Lazy*

I started walking around and just exploring until I got tired. I found a bench a decided to sit down. I pulled out my phone and my earbuds and put on some music. Guess what song came up. Home. I never deleted it from the playlist. This time I didn't skip it though. The lyrics resonated with me.

Mama I could use some help here

I needed help. My parents needed help. We all need help.
