Lily and I were out on a walk on top of the buildings. Lily had told her story to everyone and they all forgave her. Raph and Leo apologized profusely to everyone for their actions when she came home. I was still angry with them, but I felt a little better knowing that at least we wouldn't have to leave. As much as I hated my family at the moment, they were my family. They were my brothers, my father, all I knew, I couldn't leave them as easily as I might say I could.
But for right now, I needed some time. I needed some fresh air and some time with Lily. Right now, we were silent, just holding hands and walking along. It so dark outside. It was the middle of the night, and it was going to rain soon. Small flashes of lightning burst forth here and there, but little thunder came. We would be fine. Maybe a small shower, but I didn't think it would be anything bad.
I sighed quietly before going and sitting down on the edge of a building. She sat next to me and leaned into me, resting her head and left hand gently on my left shoulder. I rested my head against hers and put my arm around her, holding her close to me. We were silent for a while, just looking out at the beautiful lights of the city, like stars, before she finally spoke.
"I'm sorry." She said quietly. I sighed and shook my head, holding her a little tighter.
"You have nothing to be sorry about." I relied just as quietly.
"But I do, I should have figured out a different way to do what I did, and I should've come back the second I saw you getting to a dangerous point..." She said, her voice wavering.
"No Lily, I don't care if there was a better way to do it or not, you were protecting yourself, that's all I care about. And you know what? You're here now. You're with me now, and we're both okay, and that's all that matters."
"B-but we should've been together the whole time. We should've been together for the past five years, happy, together, without... without G." She spat the last part with such ferocity.
"Forget G, she's in the past, she's irrelevant, it doesn't matter anymore."
"I know, but she just.... UGH I just HATE her! She lead ME to hurt myself, she made me hate myself so fucking much, I was SO mad when I saw what she was doing to you... I just... I.... UGH!" She shouted and got up. She started pacing around and kicking the gravel on the roof. I sighed and turned to her, still sitting.
"I know, I read your old journal, I saw what she did to you... I thought she was different now... and I guess I was just so set on trying to believe that I loved her.. I didn't really think she COULD do something like that...." I sighed. Lily shouted in frustration again.
"I'm gonna fucking kill her." She snarled. I shook my head.
"Lily, there's no use, she's not worth the effort of trying to confront her about anything."
"I know she's not but I just... I want her to pay for all the she put BOTH of us through!"
"I know, I do too, but she's not worth it, you could get in trouble. If you do something to her you could be put in jail."
"I know..." She sighed, "I just hate how bad people always seem to get away with their bullshit..." I sighed and held my arms open. She stopped pacing and looked at me for a moment before sighing and coming back over to me. She kneeled down and crawled into my arms. I held her close and she rested her head on my chest, sitting in my lap. I ran my fingers through her hair.
"Your hair is harder to play with now." I commented. She chuckled lightly.
"I know, I might grow it back out again, I don't know, we'll see." She said. I smiled.
