with the sun slowly rising each second, the dim room was in no need of the tv screen that brightened up the place. "as a psychiatrist, what do you have to say about this protest? It's absolutely disturbing, they're sic-" the tv echoed as lilo groaned from a stinging pain in her temple.

"oh my god," lilo complained, huffing as her fingers ran through her wet hair. her eyes were puffy and she began to have red rings around her eyes. She frantically packed her bag, running out her room to put it in their black rental van. "wait." talia gargled , toothpaste dripping down the corner of her mouth. Seeing she was out of sight, she shrugged and finished brushing her teeth. flushed, lilo stuffed the bag in the van. "lilo, I wanted to talk to you." iris popped out of no where, her highlight on point. lilo nodded, biting her lip. "i think I love you, kiss me."

lilo gasped, waking up as her face was all heated up. "it's absolutely disturbing, they're sic-" she groaned, cupping her face. It the was the morning, her suitcases sprawled out, unfinished from last night. She stuffed the clothes in, more unorganized than from her dream, as that was neatly packed. She walked out her room, being stopped by talia, who had her toothbrush in her mouth. "Its all a fun joke, k." She said, blankly staring as she walked back to her own room. Confused, lilo furrowed her brows as sweat trickled down her forehead. Shoving her bags in the rental van, iris surprised her. Before she could say anything, she tried ignoring her. "Lilo, I think I love you."

without hesitation and seeing this wasn't a dream, she leaned in from relief. iris laughed, backing up in disgust as soon everyone surrounded her. From her mom and dad, to iris' family; leslie, Judd and Maude who were all disgusted at what lilo's intentions were. next to them were all their friends, the girl ones who gasped and covered their faces, thinking lilo had fantasies about them. She held her tears, looking back at iris who held up her phone, showing screenshots of lilo and kenny's chat.

"what're you, some kind of dyke?"

lilo screamed, her voice cracking. She woke up the third time and cried as she tried holding onto something. She muttered no, laying on her side. She brushed the hairs out of her face, wiping her tears. She whimpered, knowing the first one was a fantasy and the second could be a reality.
