Don't Scream

He's waiting.

"Oh my God! Lily....." Was all I could say. She didn't answer. She didn't move. She didn't do anything. she just stood there... starring at me..... "Lily, are you alright?" I cautiously walked towards her and tried to find where she was bleeding from. 

Her nails were bloody and broken. Her hands and knees cut up and bruised. her skin pale, with dried blood all over her, and her eyes..... she starred at me with red-rimmed and wide-eyes. her expression one of confusion, almost as if she didn't know me, as if she didn't know what was going on...

"Lily, what the hell has he done to y--" I started angrily, but she interrupted me.

"Let's go." She hugged me, lightly. as if I were the fragile one.

"Thank God you're ok! I was so worried...I-I--"She interrupted me once more.

"I want to go counting one's and two's. One's and two's and three's and--" She turned her back to me and started complaing louder, and louder, until I stopped her.

"Lily! Be quiet, he's going to hear you!" I tried to shake her, to maybe get some sense into her, but nothing seemed to work.

Then she gave me this look and her mood completely changed, and then she kept repeating the same line over and over and over again.. 

" No... he's waiting. he's waiting. he's waiting. He's waiting. He's waiting. He's waiting--" Then she stopped abruptly, and she gave me this look...
