Lily and I have been best friends since the kindergaten we have done evrything since then together, for example we have weddings for our dogs Sam and Princess. Sam of coarse is mine we both loved our dogs to death and wanted them to be best friends as well. Lily also had 2 cats and a tank of fish in her main family room. I just had a dog although my mom got me a kitten when Lily and I where in the 3rd grade. Lily loved animals we could go outside anywhere and She would find a creature that sometimes I had no idea even exsied. She would never kill anything Lily and I where what you would call the pure opposites. Ever since I could remeber I wanted her and I to go shopping at the mall and do girly things, but she wanted to go camping in the woods. In the fourth grade Lily's mom died, She was like my second mother, I could never understand what was wrong. They said she had cancer my parents explained it to my by telling me something grew in her body and it was not good. then in the fifth grade Lily started coming around a lot more than ever she practically lived at my house, I could never understand why she did not want to be home all I knew is she did not want to be there and loved it at my house. A couple times she even brought her cats, it was normal for her to bring her dog but her cats? thats when I started to wonder what was going on at her house. So one day towards the end of 5th grade almost the summer I told Lily that I could not play with her But, on the contrary my parents actually thought I was going outside to play with Lily, my parents generaly did not care if I walked to Lily's house because she live three houses down from us. But I made sure my parents and Lily could not see me so I had on a green shirt and hid in bushes and behind sheds. When I got there I could here this cry for mercy and it was not stopping and it was Lily, I could tell Lily's cry anywhere mainly because anytime she had to cry she would come to my house she did not like many people to know she crys. I knew it had to be something big because she hardly ever crys and when she does she trys to cry as quite as possible. So I krept over to Lily's house ever so quitely thats when I started hearing this man yelling at her to do what he said and to ever disobay him again. I wonder what she did wrong? Lily is normally a really good kid I was never really over when her dad was home so i'm not sure if it was him or someone else, well wait who else would it be? It must be her father, thats when I hear the flordia room (what we call the sun room) door slam open and Lily seemed to fall out the door almost like she was thrown. I never really understood that but for some reason I also never told my parents either. at night this haunted me I could not sleep I felt as if I could do something for lily as I just sit in my room pitting myself. I loved lily with all by being she has been in my life forever and if she is hurting so am I. All through the 6 grade she came to my house more and more she almost was never home and if she was the next day she would have a mark on her. In health class that year they had a unit about child abuse and it seemed like they where talking about lily. I cried that whole section of coarse I waited till I got home unless I could not hold it in I asked to go to the bathroom. one day after school I decsided to talk my mom I told her what I hear that day in 5th grade when I told lily I could not play with her, my mom say that would make sense and she said she had a feeling something was going on. Another thing she said was that we would have to tell someone, it made my stomach drop thinking about turning on lily and my mom could tell it in my face she said it is going to help her to be happy, I do not think anyone will do anything about it though. Today it is more of a do not tell do not say no one really liked to. So I asked my mom if I could talk to lily first and she said okay but be carful.
