[19] Not A Bad Daughter

(Clarification: if you feel like the story is jumping too fast, it's because the canon story fills in the rest. I'll still try my best to pinpoint where we are in the books but let me know if you don't get it.♡)

DAMON

I inhaled the smoke of my cigarette, as it hit the back of my throat before I puffed it out in the air.
My mind unable to let go of thoughts about Lily, the way she danced and sang at that dumb party, the way she rode my cock, the way she growled that I was hers, the way that dress hugged her delicious and slanderous body. She looked so good with tight clothes, but I understood why she didn’t wear them often. She bought second hand clothes, and most of the time they weren’t the proper size for her.

She was already petite, but she was getting too thin, I was worried. Was she eating properly? I knew she had money issues, she had to pay for everything and the job at the library wasn’t enough.
Goddammit. I had other stuff to think about, why was I so focused on her?
I had asked her if she loved me last time, and she asked me if I felt the same. Did I love her? I didn’t know. The only time I felt love was with Winter, but I was starting to wonder how much that was love if another girl was able to drive me crazy like this. And it wasn’t about her physical appearance. No. Something about Lily made me feel like no one has ever made me feel. Not even Winter.

With Winter it was like living in a bubble, in a fairy tail, away from reality. As if me and her didn’t exist.
Lily, though, made that comfortable feeling real. Like I could actually see myself in the future with her. And that shit terrified me. She was right, she was the realest person I could ever find, she always saw right through me and it was the scariest thing ever. No matter the walls I built up, she was able to make them crumble with a look of those deep brown eyes. Jesus Chirst…was I in love?
I clenched my jaw, the radio of my car playing a dark R&B song, I focused on the lyrics trying to distract myself. “Tell me does she ride, like I ride it. Can’t even deny it. I know, oh, Now you know, nothing could come close. I’m rent free on your mind.”

“Fuck!” I grunted, harshly pressing on the button to turn off the radio. Not even music was leaving me alone. I put out the cigarette, throwing the butt out of the window as I glanced around. I had just gotten back from Meridian City, and my meeting with Rika went quite well. I was slowly bringing her to my side, and that was oddly satisfying. Michael didn’t know how to take advantage of her dark side. But I did.

As I was lost in my thoughts, my eyes focused on a familiar figure. Her messy dark hair blew in the wind as she stepped out of the Town Hall of Thunder Bay.
Lily was in town? Why? I trained my eyes, her expression aggravated and she was holding a folder in her arms. She walked quickly down the sidewalk, and I forced myself to let it go, I had shit to do…
I stepped out of the car, and followed her. I kept on the other side of the street, and further behind her but my legs were long, and I could cover the distance quickly.
Where was she going? She looked absorbed in her own mind. I stopped, stilling as she bumped into a guy. He growled at her and she mumbled a sorry before continuing on her path.

She crossed the river, and reached the cemetery’s gate stopping right in front of it. The morning was busy, since it was a weekday, people came and went from the cemetery but she stayed there, rooted to the ground. I couldn’t help myself but wonder what was going on.
Her chest heaved in her big clothes, her denim jacket drowning her torso. Was she crying? My body moved on its own, walking towards her but as soon as I took a step, she bolted away, running. I looked as she went back toward the center of the town, probably going back to Mara’s apartment because she had lost her own in Thunder Bay in favor of the Meridian City one.
