The Hotel Room

Chapter 7

Lilly's pov

It was dark outside. I was cold and shivering. I kept hearing someone calling my name...my Real Name.

'Lillian! Lillian!!!'

I turned to my left, nobody was there or that I could see at least. It was pitch black.

I heard it again, from my left. Soon the voices were all around me. The Yearning for my attention slowly turned into laughter as the light came back. I was laying on my back in a school classroom I assumed, desks were assembled around the room.

I slowly sat up trying to regain balance as the room continued to spin viciously.

'What are those?'

'Look! Lilly even gets hurt by her own parents!'

'Oh look, little Lilly is so skinny and frail...let's brake her more!'

Things were being yelled at me and I began to cry. People were poking my stomach that I saw as fat and ugly that everyone was calling 'small'

'Stop please!'

I begged. They weren't stopping. I noticed a few faces...from my high school. The popular girls and even some jocks were staring at me. My vision blinked a bit when my side was hit. My jacket was being ripped from my body exposing my pale arms that hadn't seen sun in forever. I was being hit and slapped and punched and kicked anything possible. Then the words that came next were the ones i hoped to never hear...

'Oh my god....Lilly -'

I woke up screaming my head off. I was sweaty as crying. Matt came busting through the extra door that attached my room to theirs.

'oh shit Lilly! What happened? Who's in here? Did they hurt you?!'

I couldn't speak was too shook up. It had been around two months since I'd had a dream about school...I guess they were back.

Matt sat on the end of the bed and placed the baseball bat he held in his hands on the dresser.

'Whats wrong?'

He said sympathetically.

His eyes offered warmth and comfort...but I couldn't take it, that would mean leaving him empty.

"D-d-dr-dre"

Was all I could choke out.

You have to understand that this isn't some quiet sobbing I was doing here...it was loud and nearly impossible to do without choking. School had been living hell for me. People are so mean to me shouting things at me calling me fat and emo. It hurts.

"Shhh hey hey it's okay."

Matt said crawling into bed with me ontop of the comforter cradling my head in his shoulder. He stroked my hair as I soaked his bright blue polo.

"It's okay. It's okay I promise shhh calm down calm down"

He kept repeating. I knew he was trying to help but any time I found a reason to cry...I let all of it out. Everything I kept bottled up all came out.

It took a while, around 15 minutes of Matt holding me close and telling me it was alright to actually stop crying."I'm so sorry Matt I really-"

"No no not at all it's perfectly fine. I kinda liked having you in my arms....."

He said looking down.

Oh my god...Matthew lee Espinosa just said he wanted me in his arms!!!! *inside scream*

I did nothing but blush.

"School. The dream was about school."

I finally said.

"Oh, what about it?"

"People....a lot of them. Yelling at me calling me names and kicking me."

"I'm so so sorry. I don't have any idea why they would ever Bully you."

He said.

"That's because you haven't seen ALL of me."

I said with a half smile, forced of course.

He looked confused but I slipped away from the uneasy convo.

I slid back under the large bed sheets as Matt got up.

He was halfway from the door when I really wanted to call to him and ask if he would stay with me...but I didn't. Instead he just kissed my cheek and clicked on my lamp and left the extra door open giving me the veiw of the guys beds so I could get up if I needed to.

I rolled over and slowly went to sleep again this time not dreaming.
