Sorry it's been a while guys 💔😔

Lilac's POV

234...257...290! There are 290 marks on the ceiling!

I sigh, resting back down against the ugly green uncomfortable hospital bed. I have been in here since my panic attack and soon enough it should be lunch.

It's been 2 periods since Lucas has dropped me off and to say that I missed him was an understatement. I felt loved and protected by him. I don't have a crush on him but he gave me that "older brother" feeling, you know? Like when you trust them to take a punch for you because they care but there's nothing romantic?

Honestly I'm a bit scared to let him or anyone for that matter in for a romantic way. It's scary to think that I'd have all my trust in one person. Some people will use that trust you put in them against you and it just completely ruins relationships of any kind for you.

If you haven't caught on, that happened to me. My freshman year, I was dating a junior who told me he wanted to "spend the rest of his life with me" and insisted I was "the one"

That's just a bunch of bull.

I caught him on our 6 month anniversary telling his friends that he's for sure "getting a nice fucking tonight" and that's all it took for me to run away crying. He had used me

"Lilac!" I hear a soft voice say and I turn around to see my sister, worry showing all throughout her face and body language. Standing up I go to meet her and she crashes into me sobbing. My hand go around her waist, rubbing her sides softly as I try to comfort her.

"Why didn't you call me?" she whimpers into my neck, softly clasping my hospital gown in her balled fists. "I could've helped you! I-I could've stood up for you! I keep telling you that you don't have to fight this fight alone!" She yells angrily before going quiet.

"This shouldn't even be happening in the first place Lilac! I'm going to the principal and having whoever threatened you suspended" she grabs her bag going to leave but I grab her arm.

"Sis, don't do anything" I whimper softly, looking down shyly looking at my fingers as I play with them. "You'll only make things worse I promise" my voice cracks and I wince at how weak I sound. My voice is raspy from my screaming and crying earlier. My throat hurts and I have a headache.

"Why can't you listen to your older sister? You had your first panic attack in a month! This was your new record and they caused you to break it! Why are you standing up for them?!" she exclaims watching me with wide eyes confused.

"Fighting fire with fire only makes a bigger flame Lianne" I sigh, "If I start to fight back its only going to get worse, if I do nothing the worse I'll get is a few bruises and they should eventually stop"

BING! BING! BING!

My clock rings, signaling 4th period has ended and I give Lianne a pleading look to not do anything right as the nurse walks in. She groans but nods before leaving quietly.

"Alright kiddo! Looks like you're good to go!" The brunette nurse gives me a big smile and a pass before sending me in my way. As I exit the room, I look over at the waiting chairs to see a sleeping Lucas.

"Hey" I gently poke him hoping he'll wake up. "Lucas" I say a bit louder, slapping his cheeks but it does nothing. "Luky?" I huff and go to shove him, when I lose my balance falling into his lap.

"Babe is that you?" he groans rubbing his eyes before opening them to see me. "Babes!" he grins holding me close to his chest, which might I add is packed with abs. "I waited a whole 43 minutes to see you! I wasn't aloud in there because I wasn't direct family so I had them call your sister in to check on you" he blushes and I giggle at his attempt on caring for me.

"I'm fine, it was just a panic attack" I wave it off putting on a fake smile hoping he wouldn't notice the difference. Either he didn't, or he's saving it for a talk later.

"Lil, it was scary seeing you in that position ! I didn't know if you were going to hurt yourself or something after I left" he nuzzles his face in the crook of my neck, breathing in the vanilla perfume I was wearing. "I was worried about you"

"Well it's all good now! I'm not hurting and all I got was a couple hurt ribs and they wrapped me up" I wrap my fingers around his thumb noticing the huge difference in our hand size. "Would you happen to have spare clothes in that bag of yours?" I blush at the thought of wearing his clothes but I currently have none so they'll have to do.

"I mean- that'd be big on you but I have sweats and a t-shirt if you'd like" he pulls them out and I eagerly take them before limping my way to the bathroom, hearing his chuckles fading in the distance.

~few minutes later~

After getting my stuff done, I tied the string for the sweats to make them as small as I could, yet they still sort of sagged. Luckily, I've been doing my squats and have the butt to keep them up.

Walking back, I see Lucas on his phone. As if sensing my presence he looks up to see me, and bites his lip.

"Maybe you should wear my clothes more often Lil" he whistles making my slap his arm with a smile and a blush.
