I'll Steal You Flowers (Pierce the Veil)

Chapter 40

As promised I will be posting just about every 7-9 days with a new chapter like in the good old days when I didn't worry about anything but the internet. Also guess who I saw on Saturday? DAN AND PHIL! Uhg it was such an amazing show and even though I didn't get the chance to buy vip tickets (damn you, bots!) it was still one of the most amazing nights of my life and truly the most fun I've ever had in a long time. Message me if you like them as much as me bc I need to cry to someone about the amazing thing that happened that night.

Back on track

Despite the opening I really enjoyed writing this chapter and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do!

Lily's POV

"Have a Merry Christmas whore." She said and pushed me into the bathroom stall door. She walked past me and out the door, into the unknowing world. I guess bathrooms just aren't a safe place anymore. It's the only place in the school where there are no security cameras, so no matter what happens in here no one will know unless they see it themselves. There's no point in going to guidance and reporting this. It's three against one where my voice will be out washed by three bitches. I put my hand to my nose for what seems like the hundredth time this year. It came back with a red brighter than all the Christmas decorations. I guess this is my Christmas present from Savannah.

Pressing some toilet paper to my nose, I waited out the drip until there was nothing left falling from my nose. Then I was out the door with not a single thought in my head, merely empty. Slowly over the last month I've mentally become more full, yet emptier. I've applied to all my colleges, everything is set 100% in stone. When I think about it, it's kinda scary. I've also become really close with Vic. He's my best friend. That's scary too. Once we graduate, what happens to us? Importantly, what happens to my mental state? With him I feel like I'm on drugs, nothing else matters besides what's happening exactly in that moment and I'm so happy.

The halls were starting to empty and the after school silence was setting into play. As I walked some people looked at me, glazing a second longer than socially acceptable, and I wondered if there was still something on my face. Defiantly not though, because I triple checked in the mirror before walking out. Soon I came upon my locker, seeing my boyfriend leaning against it. That term has become casual over the past two months, and it's hard to believe we've been dating for the past two months.

"Hey babe." He said with a smile when he saw me. That word still made my stomach fly and I don't think it will ever stop. I smiled as he stepped aside to let me open my lock.

"Hey honey." I said and he's told me thousands of times that he loves when I say that. I opened my locker and started sorting through books, putting some into the locker and putting some into my bag.

"I was thinking we could go Christmas shopping today, for our parents and everyone." He said with a sparkling smile. I've been meaning to start shopping soon, but I just never got around to it. I mean, I still have a few weeks. Also, I haven't spoken to my father for a while. He called me about a week ago to tell me that his child is being born right after the New Year. I feel like he only did it to piss me off. I don't think he cares about me anymore. Like he needs me. I'll just get him some sort of fridge magnet that he won't even use.

"Yeah, I'd love to." I said, looking up to him and smiling. I have most of my money on me now, not like I'd be spending so much today anyway.

"Hey..." he said lightly, trailing off his words. I looked up to him questionably as I closed my locker. He was narrowing his eyes at me and my heart started to speed up. I know for a fact there's no blood left on my face. He lightly took my chin in his hands and tilted my head up ever so slightly. "Is your nose bleeding?" He said, nearly shocked. Oh shit. I put my hand to my nose and ,of course, it wasn't dry anymore. I looked to see a slight smudge on my hand.
