Lily was sitting down, on a bench, on the roof-top.The girl got up and walked to the fence-railing.
The sunset would outline her face. She didn't feel like going home.
Suddenly she heard one of the double-doors open behind her and as she turn she saw...
Ben.
She held a hand to her chest where her heart would be beating. Rapidly.
What he said next, she couldn't hear, until Ben came up to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
Her heart dropped, but it was swiftly picked up as Ben asked her," What are you doing up here? ".
She couldn't get the words out of her mouth, stuttering," I-I uh...".
Ben looked at her in confusion.
She couldn't handle the pressure and ran towards the closest double door, but only to trip.
She just laid there in embarrassment, but Ben helped her back up.
" Lily, was it, you don't have to talk about why your up here. " he comforted her.
Lily was okay.
Lily was better than okay.
Today, Lily fell in love.
