LILY
I walked through the aisles of the Meridian City library, my eyes scanning through the printed pages of requested books to send to other libraries. I was trying to focus, on my job, on my life but my mind kept on drifting to the fucking mess Damon and his annoying friends have brought me. I didn't ask for it, I was living perfectly without having 4 men pushing me around. I sighed, trying to let out all the stress. I was hungry too, goddammit.
"Okay, so number 853...853 point 61...point 6-"
I was whispering to myself trying to distract my mind until I stopped, as a figure appeared in my vision. Sharp green eyes locked on me. Banks.
I tried not to acknowledge her, even though this looked like the beginning of a horror movie. I walked past her and she spoke, immediately following me.
"Tell me what your relationship with Damon is." She demanded, her tone harsh and snappy. I scoffed, my eyes scanning through the spines of books, searching for the one I needed.
"You know, if you want to know things, you need to ask, not demand." I waited for her to reply, but I figured she wasn't a talker. "And also, if you want answers, you're also supposed to give something back. So are you willing to answer my questions too?" "No." She bit out and I sighed , before smiling at her. "Then have a nice day, Just Banks."
I mumbled, and started to walk away, but she harshly pulled my arm, making me look at her.
"You're a fucking brat. How old are you? Because you look like you should still be in high school instead of being mouthy with someone you don't even know." She said, through gritted teeth. It was amusing, and almost scary how similar she was to Damon. I wanted to know if she was his sister, not that I cared but I was curious.
"I'm 19." I said and she narrowed her eyes at me, before letting my arm go. "You became an adult like yesterday and have that attitude? Damn..." She said, rolling her eyes. "But fine, I guess you're right. I'll answer your questions. So can you tell me what your relationship with Damon is?" She asked me, clearly hating to be so polite. That was funny.
"I don't have any relationship, we just...know each other. It's weird, okay? I don't understand it either."
I said, which wasn't a lie, I was confused, very confused.
"Damon wouldn't give attention to a random girl. There must be something about you..." She mumbled, her green eyes studying me from head to toes. Yep, look as much as you want but there isn't anything special about me. I was literally a random girl, not that it was a bad thing. I liked being a random girl, no pressure whatsoever, no expectations to meet. I just minded my own business and lived my life as best as I could. I was doing my best? Okay? Insert crying emoji.
"What's yours then?" I asked her, since my curiosity wasn't still satisfied, but to be honest I was just trying to prick at her and see what was gonna happen. Banks straightened her shoulders, tensing up. What was that? She didn't want people to know? I was sure she wasn't "Damon's slut" as Kai called her, and I was starting to think Kai had no idea about her real identity. I wondered if he had any guessing skills because I flooded the women's bathroom at Sensou too but he hasn't said anything to me yet. Did I want to be a little thief and do vandalism? No, but they pissed me off.
"I just work for his father." She said, shortly, as she brought me back to reality. Her words sank in and I grinned.
"You mean his and your father..."
I mumbled, and I saw her eyes widening ever so slightly. Yes, girl. I'm not an idiot like the Horsemen.
"Kai doesn't know, does it?" "Are you gonna tell him?" She interrupted me, and I looked up at her since she was taller than me.
"Are you kidding me? Of course not, this is too funny. Wasn't he supposed to be smart, how didn't he realize it yet? He must be delusional.." I said, chuckling a bit, and I heard a small scoff passing her lips. Ugh, only women understood my sense of humor.
"You have to help me find him before Kai does." She suddenly said, turning serious again. Him. Damon. I could hear the desperation in her voice, why? Why was she desperate? Whatever reasons she had, whatever reasons Kai had, they seemed desperate. Please, I had enough of this. What did they want me to do? Drop everything and look in every damn corner to find that idiot? Last time I checked I wasn't a detective. I didn't even like mystery books, goddammit.
"Listen, I can't help you. It's not my job to find him, as I said I'm just a random girl-" "You know about his mother, don't you?" She interrupted me again, and I stilled.
His mother...Suddenly the night he confessed what his mother did to him came back to my mind. It still broke my heart knowing he went through that hell. It didn't justified what he did, but it definitely gave me more context.
My body shuddered slightly, my skin tingled, I could still feel his hands on me, his eyes drinking in my naked body. His hug, as he silently begged me to carry his pain for him, even just for a second. I still remember his anger at himself for being vulnerable in front of me. My fingers tightened around the papers I was holding, why was I missing him? I shouldn't miss him, not after he admitted he would have done to me the same thing he did to Rika. Not after all the push and pull he brought upon me even when I didn't ask for it.
"I do...I...imagined something might have happened to him, not everyone is born so..." I mumbled but I couldn't finish my thoughts, I didn't want to say it.
"Fucked up?" Banks finished for me and I nodded. I wanted to ask her about that, about what actually happened. My eyes lingered a bit too much on her, and she sighed, and looked away.
"She was awful, a monster...He hated it, so much that he hurt himself on purpose after she went away. He has cuts and wounds everywhere...even under his feet. I don't know how he ran on the basketball court with those feet. He would stay in the shower for hours, the water was boiling and he didn't even flinch." Banks told me, whispering, and I could feel the pain in her voice. I wanted to cry, Jesus Christ.
"He would hide me, in the closet, with his headphones, but sometimes...the music couldn't cover the sound of the bed's creaking..." She mumbled again, as if she was just thinking out loud. My eyes welled up with tears and I felt bile rising to my stomach. My chest was tight, "please, stop,I don't want to hear it", I begged her mentally.
"I can't help you, I'm sorry." I let out a choked out mumble, and started to walk away, I couldn't talk about it anymore. It hurt so fucking much, I wanted to find him, I wanted to comfort him and I didn't even know why. He had left me though, he ran from me, and I couldn't be angry at him, we had nothing going on. He wasn't obliged to anything, but it still hurt like hell.
"His room is basically dark, there's barely any color in it." Banks spoke again, and I stopped, my back turned to her and I wanted to leave but I couldn't.
"The only color was a bunch of flowers, Lilies. White and bright. He begged me to take care of them. He never cared about flowers before, and I couldn't understand why he was suddenly keeping flowers...but now I do..." She explained, her voice cracking a bit in her throat. I shut my eyes, my vision blurry.
"I'll do what I can." I simply said, and I knew she understood me immediately. I started to walk again, rounding the corner, ignoring my colleagues and some clients asking for help. I pushed the bathroom door open and closed it behind me before bursting into tears, my hand covering my sobs. Why was this happening to me? Why did Damon Torrance make me fall in love with him? Why did I feel this urge to just save him from something I didn't even know what it was? My head was spiraling as I held it in my hands. I wondered what he was doing, I wondered what he was feeling? My mother's words kept on ringing in my head. "Be his peace, be his peace, Lily", but I had no idea how.
One thing was sure, I had to find him. Kai had his reasons, Banks had hers and now I had mine too. I needed to know if he was worth the effort. If I could save him, or if he would have dragged me down with him. Unfortunately, I had the feeling we could only fall from the cliff we were hanging. The unknown under us. His chaos was gonna engulf me, his intoxicating energy was already poisoning me and unfortunately, like all the addicts, I couldn't get enough.
