Nothing Compares

chapter 2

the next day was amazing. I actually felt... loved...

"Hi I'm Lillia" I said as Soli and I came in. Soli smiled and looked at his friends. "Guys this is Lillia. Lillia this is Chapstique, Fatty, Crouton, and Nadaddy"

I tilted my head. "What kind of names are those?" I asked. "The cool ones." Nadaddy said. I laughed a bit and they all 'awed'

"what?" I asked. "Your laugh is adorable!" Fatty said, grinning. I blushed and hid my face with my hair. "Come on Lillia, I'll show you to where you'll be staying" Chapstique said. I nodded and grabbed my bag. "I-I don't know about this guys. Are you sure you want a teenage girl living in a house of five guys?" I said. Fatty shrugged "I don't care"

"and he's the smart and wise one" Nadaddy said

Soli moaned sadly and Nadaddy said: "second, smartest"

Soli smiled and grabbed my hand and started pulling me to my room. "I thought Chapstique was taking me!"

"He was! But now I am!" He said smiling proudly. I laughed and he swung me around the corner, where I faceplanted on the bed. He plopped beside me breathing heavily and laughed. "Wow, I've never been this tired since our show in New York in 2006."

"You guys are a band?" I asked. He smiled shyly and stood up.

He went over to a closet and pulled out a basket

I looked through them smiling widely. "Dance Or Die, Business Up Front Party in The Back, and III? awesome album names!" I said. He grinned and and put one in the CD player. A song came up and he grabbed my hand. "Which album is this?" I asked. "This is III. Just please, help me" he said sadly.

I smiled at him and stood up. We started dancing to the slow song

cause I don't hurt when you say it, I hear your words I can make it, I need you now, I want you now,

to tell me that I'm not alone, whoa oh ooh oh, whoa ooh oh oh, whoa oh oh ooh oh

tell me that I'm not alone... 

I blushed as he hugged me and started crying. "I'm sorry you had to go through that Soli, she obviously doesn't know who she's losing"  I said rubbing his back. "I thought she loved me. I thought we would die together" he said, muffled in my hair. I sighed and kissed the side of his head and continued to rub his back. He sat down on the bed after he stopped shaking and looked up at me with glassy eyes. "I've never thought you would cry. You always seemed like a happy non caring guy. She obviously needs to be taught a lesson. She sucked the happiness right out of you! And I won't stand for that!" I said and stood up. "Where are you going" 

"To perform a screamo concert" I said and ran out the door as he tilted his head.

I ran to his old house and knocked rapidly on the door. His ex wife opened the door and tilted her head

"YOU! You are sad! You just lost the most amazing man ever! And you may not know this but you just took all of his joy from him! I don't even know you and I'm disappointed in you! He's sitting on my bed crying right now and all you're here doing is sitting around enjoying life without him! Well I've got news for you! He's broken. And he may never be the same."

"Why do you even care about him?" She asked. "He saved me from killing my self. Of course I love him"

I slammed her door in her face and went back home

Soli was asleep on my bed and I sighed. I kissed his forehead and laid beside him. "What did I just do?" I said. 

I felt him shuffle and he looked up at me. "Lillia? Are you okay?"

"I should be asking you the same. How are you doing?"

"I'm better. I just want to sleep right now."

I nodded and he put his head on my lap. "Don't worry, you'll be okay. We'll both be okay."

I felt his tenseness drift away as he slowly drifted to sleep.

Are we going to be okay? Or will we break together?

"God please help us. We don't know what to do. I know you brought Soli to me for a reason. Did you bring me to Soli  for a reason? Just... Please help us through this funk" I whispered. I felt a shaking feeling and I looked down at Soli. He was snoring slightly and his eyelashes were fluttering with his breath. I wish he didn't have to live this way. I wish I didn't have to live seeing him this way
