//TWO//

once the two boys walked away, lilia began to feel afraid.

she had always been scared of the dark.

she slowly got up and opened the closet door.

she carefully made her way to the door and opened it.

the hallway light was dimmed.

she carefully walked out and looked around.

she could feel the bass of the music beneath her feet.

she began to walk down the hall.

when she reached the steps, she looked down to see if she could spot ophelia.

she also wanted to spot the boy.

timothée.

she just couldn't stop thinking of him.

someone suddenly grabs lilias shoulder.

she gasps and takes a step forward.

lilia turns around to see ophelia standing there with a drunken smile.

"hey phee. where have you been?" she asks.

"just chilling." ophelia slurs.

lilia only sighs.

"let's go" she says while grabbing her drunker friend and slowly walking down the stairs.

lilia wants to gag at how ophelia smells.

she reeks of alcohol.

she's also sweating and lilia hates it.

once they get to the bottom of the steps, they have to mange to get through the crowd of dancing college kids.

as the two are about to enter, lilia hears a voice.

"ophelia!" they call out.

they turn around to see john, alone.

lilia sighs to herself.

they then walk over to the boy.

"oh i'm sorry, i didn't realize." john says once seeing ophelia up close.

"no worries, did you need something?" lilia asks.

"yes, actually i was wondering -" john is cut off.

"cops!" someone shouts.

everyone becomes silent.

immediate fear is laced throughout lilias body when she hears the sirens.

"no. no. no." she whispers.

she then looks to john whose eyes are wide.

"come on, i'll get you back to julliard. we need to hurry though." john quickly says while picking ophelia up.

lilia follows behind john.

just as they walk through the back door, john mumbles,

"shit."

lilia looks over to him.

"my car is parked all the way down this street, we'll definitely get caught but we can try- harrison!" john exclaims.
