Why Him? (BILL SKARSGÅRD/ ROMAN GODFREY)

The Night Out

It's now Saturday and I haven't seen Roman in days, he's been with mother though but not here at home. I'm pretty sure she wasn't here for one night and it makes me cringe the fact they spent the night together.

I'm currently in bed listening to music so loud I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose my hearing. I look up and I jump to see mother standing there in the doorway, her arms crossed and I already know why she's going to be pissed at me. I roll my eyes and take my headphones off about to listen to her complaint.

"Lily, I've been calling you for minutes" She sighs.

"Sorry, what's up?" I ask, impatiently waiting for an answer.

"We are going out tonight" She says, I mentally grown hoping it's just me and her.

"Just us?" I ask hoping for a yes.

"And Roman, he's family now" I mentally roll my eyes at her answer, and there's no way he's family.

"My ass he is" I mumble, and she points her finger at me.

"Be nice" She walks out slamming the door.

Hours later I start to get ready for who knows where or what I'm doing tonight but I'm kinda dreading it. I have a quick shower washing my hair and scrubbing my body, then after I'm done I start applying the usual plain makeup but today I added red lipstick.

I look through my cupboard finally picking out black ripped jeans and a tank top with a coat, I decided to wear heels with them. When I finally put on my outfit I smile in the mirror happy with how I looked, by the time I finished mother calls me to go downstairs.

"Are you ready?" She asks, eyeing me up and down with a smile on her face. I look at mother seeing her wearing a dress and heels looking some what elegant, we don't even look related..

"Where are we going?" I ask my eyes scanning the room for Roman.

"We're meeting Roman at a concert" I mentally groan, how old are they 16?

We get in the car and these heels are already starting to hurt me, I may complain a lot but every girl knows what it feels like. I'm currently sat in the passenger seat and decide to put in my headphones, blaring the music loud I look over at mother and her eyes on the road but I can see the corners of her mouth turn up some times. My stomach crawls with guilt like my mother is happy for once and I will ruin it if she finds out.

About half an hour later we arrived at another arena but it is heaps smaller than the other one we went to, we park in the parking spot and make our way in side. I look around seeing modern seats and small tables, in the corner there is a bar I'm surprised I'm allowed to be in here.

I look and see mother's eyes scanning the room as she's looking for Roman, my gaze moved around the room and I notice there's some sleazy men staring at us making me feel somewhat uncomfortable and insecure.

I look over to the bar and I suddenly see Roman sitting around, smoking and I know mother won't be too pleased about it but I nudge her and point to him anyways. We both start to walk over and I notice his hair is somewhat messy today and his eyes seem a little red it's out of being high or not getting enough sleep? I'm gonna go with the first one. We both sit around him but I decide to sit next to mother, he can be so attractive even doing nothing or not putting any effort in but I'm not gonna let that get to me, I'm going to be strong and dry to him.

"Honey you reek of smoke" She says, he quickly turns around his eyes on her first then hesitantly turning to me.

"Sorry darling" He chuckles, he leans over and places a kiss on her cheek and she makes a disgusted face I'm guessing from the smell of the smoke.

I smile at them but I'm dying on the inside, he blows out one more puff. His puckered naturally red lips was all I was looking at, he seemed to take notice as a smirk appeared on his face. He placed the cigarette in the stash and we all got up, he took a sharp breath in as he looked at my ripped jeans.

We suddenly hear someone on the stage introducing the band so we make our way to the front.
