The Sun and the Moon

The Sun And The Moon Chapter 8

The journey on the boat went fairly quickly. Lillie days were spent laughing and storytelling with Liam and Bri. When the day to get off the boat finally arrived, it felt to soon for Lilli to leave her friends. When she left her quaint accommodations, she couldn't find Liam or Bri. They had already left. She was once again alone in the world. A sharp pain in her symbol woke her up.

Breathing heavily, Lilli swung her legs over the side of the bed. That was by far the worst nightmare she could have had. She shook off the sweat that was gathering on her forehead in tiny drops. The small half sun burned with fury. Almost to painful to bear. She pulled off what she had been wearing and pulled on her black tank top and jean shorts, along with her black fingerless gloves and sneakers. She once again chose to ignore her impossibly untamable hair and left the room to find Liam at breakfast.

It was indeed the last day of the journey and the boat would arrive in London later that night. Lilly couldn't see land out the windows in the food room, but she quickly found Liam and Bri to sit with. They talked about how the trip had been and eventually made there way on deck where on the far horizon they could see a small strip of land. They each parted ways to get there bags  ready, and to say goodbye. 

As the shore pulled closer and closer, Lillis mind races through thoughts. She couldn't believe this was the end, she didn't want her real life to be like her dreams. What if she never found her soulmate, or what if she never saw Liam again. 

"Hey Lilli, you okay?" And there he was bag on his back at her door. 

"I'll be fine" 

"You don't have to be fine, wait, are you crying?"  Lilli looked down and noticed the wetness on her cheeks and the tear stains gathering on her shorts

"Ye..." But before she could respond Liam was next to her on the bed, an arm around her shoulder pulling her into his chest. With his other hand he wiped the tears from her cheeks as she sobbed. They sat there for what seemed like eternity until a loud noise came over the old speakers on the boat, "we've docked at port, please gather your belongings and exit in an orderly fashion." Lilli was the first to stir from Liam's embrace. She grabbed her bag, and stood up swinging it onto her back. Liam stood up grabbing his bag from beside the bed and leading the still puffy eyed girl to the dock. 

Lilli traced her hand over the wooden railings and down the metal platform connecting the boat to land. She hadn't noticed that her other hand was occupied until she felt a small squeeze of reasurence from Liam's hand. There fingers were interlaced and fit together like two puzzle pieces. 

As it came time to part. Lilly let go of his hand and thanked him for everything. Bri stood behind him having gotten off the boat a few people after them. 

Liam leaned down and whispered in Lillis ear

"you really think this is the end?"
