"I'M NOT OKAY."

The bright white lights reflected off of your eyes as she stared up at the ceiling. She was trying to not let her mind wander because every time she did, she would be back in that cell. Melissa was beside the girl, checking her vitals. She noticed her odd actions.

"You're all good," Melissa commented. She looked over the girl taking note of the emotionless face the teenager held. Lily hadn't said much since being rescued. She said as few words as possible. Melissa only had certain information because she forced Scott to tell her. The nurse couldn't take care of Lily if she didn't know what was going on with her. "How are you doing, Lily?"

Lily glanced at the mother of her ex-boyfriend. Her face didn't show any emotion as she shrugged. Melissa sighed at the action. "You need to talk to someone, Lily. You can't hide from what happened forever." She stated.

Lily turned her head away to look at the wall. Her hand began to shake as the memories filled her head once again. She squeezed her eyes shut and let out a deep breath before focusing on the wall in front of her.

Melissa finished up and left the girl in silence. Lily turned over on her side to look at the shut door. Her eyes welled with tears as she laid there. She sobbed, pulling her knees close to her chest.

Lily didn't know how to process what had happened to her. She couldn't put it into words how bad the pain was. All of her friends had come by to try and talk to her, but they didn't get much out of her.

Derek was the only one who had gotten her to talk more than a few words. He had been with her almost every day since they found her two weeks ago. The nurses had attempted to kick him when visiting hours were over, but he refused to leave her. He had slept at the hospital almost every night to help her through the nightmares. When he did leave her side, he made sure that someone else was here, usually Isaac. When he was there, they mostly sat in silence watching the television. Neither said much, but Lily felt comfort knowing he was there.

Lily sat up in the bed and pulled her knees closer to her chest. She allowed her head to rest against her knees as tears slide down her face and onto her pants. Lydia made sure that Lily wasn't forced to wear a hospital gown. She brought her new clothes after school every day. Lydia would sit there telling Lily about things she had missed. Sometimes the corner of Lily's mouth would curl up, but that was it.

Allison was the person she saw the least off. She felt the most guilt for what had happened to Lily. She thought it was her fault because of knowing that Lily hadn't gone to Beacon Hills and didn't tell anyone. If she did, maybe someone would have figured out she was gone sooner. Lily didn't blame her. She didn't blame any of them.
