The next morning Lily woke up with a massive headache, she walks over to the bathroom and turns on the water into the shower. She looks at herself in the mirror and see a massive cut across her eyelid, and her lip bleeding from the left side.

When she gets out the shower she changes and walks into the living room of the Chateau, "What a night." Kie says looking at the girl walking in, "Yeah, I was going to go to the store. You coming?"

"No, I still feel sick." she shakes her head, Lily looks at JJ still asleep with his head on Kies lap. She smiles and looks away before Kie can catch on.

Lily hops onto JJs bike and revs the engine before pulling out of the dirt road, as she passes the houses with fences around, security, and rich Kook people with their rich laugh. She could only think about one person.

As she pulls into the grocery store she notices Toppers truck in the parking lot, "Could this day get any worse." She mumbles to herself.

She hops off of the car and brushes herself off before walking into the store, Lily had a few money left over from her past jobs, enough to buy food for the house.

Lily walks into the bread isle and hear a familiar voice behind her making her turn around instantly, "Yo, Lily. Is that you?" Kelce asks.

"Yeah, it's me." She responds giving a small, short smile. "I seen what happened at the party, you got her good." he laughs, Lily looks behind him and sees Topper and Rafe walking up. "I got to go." She says turning around fast, but before she could take another step someone speaks up.

"Lily." Rafe says in a soft voice, that tone of voice from him makes her stop in her tracks. She turns on her heel and look at him. "Can we talk?" He says walking up to her.

"I'm busy. As you can tell." she says turning to look back at the bread and pick the cheapest one, Topper and Kelce feel the awkward vibe and they walk away.

"Lily, please. Can you meet me at my house at six pm?" he says not taking his eyes off the girl, "I'll think about it Rafe. I shouldn't even be talking to you right now." she says looking up at him then walking away.

She grabs the rest of the food and pays at the front, once she walks out the store she sets the bags on the side basket that JJ set up for her.

"Rafe wants to talk to me later." Lily says leaning her head back on the couch, "What? No way!" JJ shakes his head. "I think it might be good, so we can talk about it civil." Lily continues to stare at the ceiling.

"Nothing about Rafe is civil." Pope says sitting down next to the girl, "Maybe it could be." she shrugs. "You're not going back to him right?" Kie chimes in, "I don't know." she says, she only thought about what if she did go back to him. Would he do it again? His attraction to her was a strong pull that she felt like she couldn't escape from.

"When does he want to see you?" JohnB asks bitting into a sandwich, "Six." Lily comments with a big deep breath. "Are you sure you're gonna go?" JJ tilts his head in curiosity, "Yeah."

Hours passed and Lily tried to think what she was going to say to him, she paced back and forth in the room and then stopped and took a look in the mirror. She grabs JJs bike keys and walks out the door, "Have fun!" Kie yells sarcastically as she walks out.

Lily hoped onto the bike and then put on a helmet, she pulls out the dirt road and onto the main street towards the Kook side. Her thoughts were rushing and it made her feel angry.

When she arrived she parked on the side of the house and hoped over the fence, just as she reaches the front door about to knock. Sarah opens the door in confusion. "Lily? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to talk to Rafe." she replies, Lily walks in and closes the door behind her as she smiles. Sarah immediately hugs Lily and pulls back, "I don't want to overstep, but how is JohnB?" she asks, "He's been better."

Sarah nods before walking up the steps intending the girl to follow. "He's been in a bad mood all day, good luck." the girl says before going into her room.

Lily opens the door and sees Rafe sitting at his desk, she knocks as she enters making his head turn quick. "Didn't think you would show." he immediately stands up and walks over to her. She puts her hand out infront of him and he stops and talks a step back.

"What did you want to say?" she says setting her bag down on his chair, "I made a mistake, I didn't mean any of it."

"Actions speak louder than words Rafe." she scoffs while shaking her head, "I know, I know. But you're the only girl I want."

She wanted to believe him by seeing the look in his eyes, feeling like he truly meant it. "Then why did you carry her into your arms?" she questions getting mad.

"You knocked her out! Someone had to help her wake up." he pulls his hair back, she hums while nodding. "You don't trust me." he says pacing back and forth.

"How the fuck can I trust you after last night!" she yells as she stands up, "Please, I love you."

Just as those words came out of his mouth she froze, nothing came out of her mouth. "I didn't know what I was thinking." he continues.

"Clearly not." she looks down, he walks closer to her and cups her face. "I need you Lily. I physically cannot function correctly. Don't leave me." he pleads.

She looks up at him, their gaze meet and she nods. "I won't leave you." Lily states and he smiles then kisses her head.
