Long Lost Dream (5sos) [EDITING]

chapter 44

Nobody's pov

Michael went upstairs to lily's room because she didn't came downstairs after dinner. He knocked at her door.

"Come in" lily said. He saw Lily lying on bed staring at the ceiling. She didn't even looked at him.

"Hey baby..you didn't come.. is everything fine?" Michael asked laying beside her.

"Yeah" she replied softly. Michael knew something is wrong because Lily was not looking happy.

"Lily is something wrong? You don't look fine to me" Michael said and made her look at him.

"I'm fine michael" Lily answered and continued looking at the ceiling. Michael was confused. Should he give her time or just keep on asking her until she tells him. His thoughts were interrupted when Ashton suddenly came into her room.

"Ohh I didn't knew you were here otherwise I would have knocked" Ashton said giggling and pointed to Michael.

"Hey sis... why didn't you came back downstairs. You said you were going to get your phone and after that you disappeared." Ashton said to Lily. She didn't knew how to react. She just got to know that Ashton is not really her brother and her mother is not her real mother. This feeling was strange. She wanted to cry, wanted to shout, wanted to run off from here but all she could do was hide the pain inside.

"Can you just leave me alone?" She said looking at Ashton.

"Umm... No" Ashton replied. "What happened?" He asked holding her hand.

"Goddamit Ashton just leave for fucks sake. Why do you always have to irritate me? I don't want you near me dont you get that" she shouted at him. Michael and Ashton were both shocked with lily's behaviour. She has never talked to Ashton rudely.

"I just wanted to know if you are fine. I'm sorry" Ashton said looking down at his feet. Lily could see hurt in his eyes. She felt guilty for shouting at him for no reason. Or Maybe there was a reason. Does he know she is his adopted sister? She should probably talk to her mother first but would that be a good idea?

"I'm sorry but I wanna be alone" Lily said ignoring the fact that Ashton was hurt. Michael and Ashton looked at each other and left her alone. Lily locked the room and started crying. She feels so alienated. She feels as if she doesn't belong here anymore and these people are strangers. She doesn't have a real family, she doesn't have a real brother. All these thoughts made her cry even more. She loved Ashton and she would not replace him for anything in the world and it hurts to know that he is not even her real brother. After crying for one hour Lily slowly drifted to sleep.

*morning*

"Lily shouted at Ashton yesterday night" Hannah said to Maddie.

"What? Why?" Maddie asked. They both were currently sitting on the kitchen counter sipping their coffee. Everybody was still asleep since it was 7am.

"I don't know but Ashton was upset yesterday and he just told me this much. Everything was fine then what must have happened to lily all of a sudden" Hannah asked.

"I mean she is on her period but she never had such major mood swings" Maddie answered.

"Lets talk to her and wake her up" Hannah said and they both went upstairs to lily's room. After knocking for 4-5 times they realised they should just go inside. Her room was messy and she was nowhere to be found. They looked in the washroom and no sign of Lily. It was like deja vu.

"Fuck..not again" Hannah said softly.

"Okay she must be in michael's room. Let's go there" Maddie suggested. After knocking for couple of minutes a sleepy Michael opened the door.
