I woke to shaking. "Lily, darling, wake up!"
I peeked one eye open and found Dad standing over me, lightly shaking my shoulder.
"hmm?" I mumbled.
Suddenly there was light.
Okay, really Mom just threw the shades open but whatever.
I pulled my blanket closer to myself. "What's going on?"
Dad laughed. "Did you forget silly? It just so happens to be some special someone's birthday."
I squinted at him, and started counting on my fingers.
January Febuary March April June July...
OH FUCK-
"It's my birthday?!" I cried, sitting up fast.
Mom chuckled, folding her arms. "Yeah."
I blinked, turning my gaze back and forth between them. "How did I miss this?"
Dad shrugged. "A lot has been going on, so we don't particularly blame you, just a reminder."
My mouth fell open. "Wow..."
Dad smiled brightly, walking to the door. "Come downstairs, I made you something."
My parents left and I sat there wondering how the hell I had forgotten this.
Did Neo know?
Did Molly know?
DID ANYBODY BESIDES MY PARENTS KNOW? BECAUSE I SERTINLY DIDN'T.
Nah, nobody knew.
I was too un-important for that.
Okay, maybe Neo knew.
I yawned and got up, changing into a dark red button up and boot cut jeans.
Because I was going to be exciting and not wear a skirt today.
I hiked my hair into a bun, and hopped down the stairs.
I heard Mom and Dads voices in the kitchen, but the rest of the house was silent.
Beautiful silence...
"Boo."
I screamed and fell onto the floor, gasping for breath. "NEO WHAT THE FUCK?!"
Dad poked his head out of the kitchen. "Language darling."
I continued to breath hard.
Neo's red eyes glistened with joy as he laughed. "Are-are you okay?"
I glared at him. "Oh yeah, I'm fine, my butt got the raw end of the deal but I guess the rest of me is fine."
He laughed again and held out a hand. "Come on, your Dad want's you."
My gaze softened and I took his hand, quickly kissing his cheek before walking to the kitchen.
I stepped through the door and my eyes went wide. "Did you..?"
I ran to Dad's side and found absolutely the best thing in the world. "Jumbalya, for breakfast?"
He smiled. "Well, I thought it would be appropriate."
I grinned, nodding. "Oh yes, yes is it!"
For some reason, Dad didn't seem to upset that Neo was there.
After breakfast, I fell into the armchair in the parlor. "Well, what now?"
Mom pursed her lips and tilted her head. "It is 'your' birthday, what do 'you' want to do?"
Dad held up a hand. "I have one more thing."
I looked at him. "Yes?"
He nodded to the closet. "You might want to take a quick look in there."
I frowned and slowly stood up, walking to the doors.
I didn't even open it fully when a blur of white and blue took me off my feet.
The Angel tackled me to the ground and hugged me. "Happy Birthday!"
"EMILY?!"
She sat up with a bright smile. "Yeah, It's me!"
I whipped around to look at Dad. "H-how?"
He laughed. "Oh, I pulled a few strings."
She climbed off the floor, brushing herself off before pulling me to my feet. "Yeah, Al-I mean your Dad pulled a couple things and Sera let me off the hook."
I smiled. "Nice! So... you just here for me?"
Emily nodded eagerly. "Yep! Just for you, I figured that I could hang out a little bit, keep you compony, you know, fun stuff!"
"Emily?!"
The seraphim whipped around, smacking me in the face with all six of her wings. "Charlie?"
She glanced back at me. "Oh, sorry."
I pulled a feather out of my mouth. "No, your fine."
Aunti Charlie ran forwards and tackled Emily. "Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh! Your here?!"
The rest of the day was spent hanging out with Emily and Neo.
We did so many things, I it was hard to remember them all.
After dinner, I climbed the attic stairs to the roof, looking out over Cannibal town.
"I brought you desert!" Neo called.
I looked over to see him climbing out of the hatch, with a plate in hand.
Smiling, I took the plate from him and set it on the roof.
I wrapped my arms around his neck. "You know, I think I just might love you."Neo laughed and pulled me closer. "Yeah... but maybe I love you more."
I looked into his eyes. "This was amazing, thank you."
He waved a hand. "Oh not a problem."
He kissed me. "No problem at all."
I leaned in for another when I heard a click.
Neo's eyes went wide and he spun us around.
BANG!
The sound echoed through the rooftops, hurting my ears.
My eyes found Vox, standing behind where I had been standing, smoking gun in hand, eyes wide.
Neo, trembled in my arms, looking down at the red spot forming in his gut.
No.
No! No! No!
NO!
Vox lowered the gun, "Neo...?"
Neo looked back at me. "Lily...?"
Tears starting slipping down my cheeks. "Neo, Neo why? Why did you spin us around!? WHY DID YOU MOVE ME?!"
His legs crumpled out form under him, taking him to the ground.
I fell to my knees. "NEO! Neo no!"
He reached up and cradled my cheek in his hand. "Lily... I had too, you won't die on my watch, hell... your Dad would kill me-if-if I let you get hurt..."
He smiled sadly and closed his eyes.
"Neo! Do not leave me!"
Neo opened his soft red eyes, one tear slipping off his cheek. "I really wish I could have done more for you..."
I hugged him and cried. "Y-you've done-done so much! But you need to do one last thing! You need to stay, stay with me, stay here with me, stay in hell."
He smiled and grabbed my face, kissing me one last time. "I'm afraid I can't keep that one..." he whispered.
Neo's hand starting going slack.
No!
NO!
NO!
NO!
NO!
"NEO!" I screamed.
His chest went still, no longer breathing.
Tears blurred my vision. "NEO DON'T LEAVE ME!!!"
He never took another breath.
Vox had just killed his own son while trying to kill me...
I fell onto him, gasping in breaths as I screamed into the night.
He couldn't be gone, he just couldn't.
I didn't know how much time went by.
All I knew was pain and hurt.
The world felt so bland, not worth living for.
At some point Vox left.
And at some point Dad showed up.
He fell to his knees next to me. "No...."
I turned burring my face in his chest. "Dad- he-he's gone- he's not coming back Dad, why? Why is this how it has to happen!?"
I continued to just sputter and cry into his chest.
Alastor closed his eyes and wrapped me in his arms.
"WHY?!" I screamed.
I trembled all over, clutching his coat in my hands, whimpering. "w-why?"
Dad hugged me closer. "I don't know...."
Okay, so now that I'm crying with the rest of you....
Please don't hate me, this is a really good move for the story in the future, but for now, this is how it's going to be, yes, Neo is dead, and he's not coming back.
Me: *Starts crying again after I typed that*
