LITTLE THINGS 02. Let the light in _________________________________________
After the twins had found out about Georgie disappearing, their mother decided to finish her daily plans instead of coming home and her father couldn't get out of work.
Bill had walked down the street to his friends house that Lillian has never met, while she went somewhere else.
It was still pouring rain outside as she walked up the hills of Derry, she was only wearing her pajamas which consisted of shorts and a t-shirt in the cold weather, but she didn't really care.
No matter how soaked she was from the rain, she just kept walking, the 20 minute walk seeming longer than usual, her hair was soaked and so was her whole body.
After a while she had got to the house she wanted. She saw that the two cars were gone, noting who she was looking for was home, and no one else was. She knocked on the front door about 3 times before her arm fell back to her side as she stood and waited for someone to open it. She heard commotion from inside the house before a boy her age opened the door.
"Oh hey lilypad I wasn't expecting you here considering it's pouring out and- oh my god Lills why are you wearing shorts right now it's so cold and holy crap you are absolutely soaked." Mike rambling as he took in what he was looking at. Lilly just stared at him, with an emotionless expression on her face which made Mike worry more than he already was.
"Lills what is it? Are you okay?" He asked her and just the question alone made her almost burst into tears, which didn't go unnoticed.
"Come on, let's get you out of the pouring rain." he said as he went inside and motioned for her to come in with him. Lillian's clothes and hair were dripping wet from walking for so long in severe thunderstorm warnings.
Lillian had stayed silent, not a single word came out of her mouth, that same emotionless stare as she stared at the wall while he got her a towel and old pajamas she left there a few weeks prior.
"Lills go change out of those soaked clothes while I get you some cold medicine, I can tell you're sick." He said as he put the clothes next to her.
"I don't wanna take it. The stuff you give me is disgraceful to the human race." she said, coughing in the middle of the sentence, finally speaking, as upset as she was, he always somehow found a way to make her feel even slightly better.
"It is not a disgrace to the human race lilypad, and walking in the pouring rain did not make your cold better clearly, and i also know you won't eat the orange one so try the pill version I don't know all I know is you're taking it wether you like it or not." He said half laughing, and then turned around to get the medicine while she went to the bathroom to change.
When she walked back out, Mike handed her the medicine which she took, much to her displeasure, and then Mike spoke again.
"Lills, why did you come here? It's not that I don't want you here it's just you were so upset earlier, why?" He asked and Lillian's face dropped.
"Um, it's a long story okay and I-" was all Lilly got out before she stopped cause she felt the tears pricking in her eyes and the landline rang, mike picked up the phone to an unfamiliar voice speaking.
"Hello, Hanlon residence, Micheal speaking, who is this?" He asked confused on who that was.
"Bill calm down he answered your sister is probably fine, hi sorry about that I'm Fiona Hanscom, I'm wondering if Lillian is over there?" A girl asked, very soft spoken and barely audible.
"Um, yes Lilly is here, may I ask why you're asking?" he retorts, confused on why she's asking, and he turns around to check on her to see her wipe a tear off her face.
"Oh yeah uh I have her brother here and yk since Georgie just went missing he's very paranoid about her since he didn't know where she went but since we have confirmation she's with you then everything's okay, thank you for your time, um I'm sorry what was your name again?" She started to ramble while she ultimately forgot his name.
"Michael, and yours is Fiona, got it" He told her, before they said their goodbyes and hung the phone up.
"Who was that?" Lillian asked, she was half asleep by this point, sitting on Mikes bed trying to keep her eyes open.
"It was some friend of your brother, he was worried cause he didn't know where you were? Because of what happened earlier" he said, and her face dropped again.
"I'm not gonna press you lillypad, you can't even keep your eyes open for more than 5 minutes, just take a nap okay?" he said, and Lillian didn't waste a second before turning on her side and going to sleep.
Mike made sure to take the ring off her hand that she wears every day that he gave her when they were 8, she moves a lot and it falls off which then results her freaking out cause she thinks she lost it and he's gonna hate her, (news flash, he never would hate her).
Meanwhile at the Hanscom residence, Fiona was trying to keep the other twin level headed.
"Billy honey I just spoke to Micheal, She's fine okay? You even said it yourself, Micheal wouldn't let anyone or anything happen to her." She tried to reassure the boy, wasn't working very well.
"Fi, I just realized you had an accent" Bill stuttered out, just realizing his friend had an accent.
"Bill, I'm literally from texas. You just realized I have an accent?" She replied back, the heavy southerness of her voice was very evident.
"I mean, in my defense, Ben doesn't have one" bill replied slightly laughing.
"Well Ben's weird, me and my mom have one soooo" she said while going to sit down with him on her bed.
"You promise she's okay?" he asked her, still paranoid about it. Fiona stuck her pinky out before responding.
"I double pinky promise." and when he intertwined their pinky fingers, she stuck her other pinky finger out too and he looked at her confused.
"I said I DOUBLE pinky promise, so here's the double." She said laughing before he laughed too and did the same thing he did to her other hand.
"Hey dizzy?" Bill called for her but Fiona looked around confused.
"Dizzy? Honey where did you get that name from?" Fiona said, laughing as she laid down next to him.
"Cause you're always complaining you get dizzy" he said, laughing too.
"You know Billy, I got the perfect idea to make you happier." Fiona said, getting up and walking to the kitchen.
"And what's that dizzy?" He asked, getting up follow her and sees her open the pantry and get a box.
"Brownies, duhhhh" she giggled, turning to get a bowl.
