The Hotel Room

Chapter 13

Lilly's pov

"Lilly?"

There was a knock at the bathroom door.

"Hol-"

Was all I got out before emptying more contents of my stomach.

"Hold on."

I said as I stood up and cleaned up.

I opened the door to find cam sitting in the chair that he had pulled around to face the bathroom because currently that's where all my time was being spent.

"Are you alright?"

Cam asked softly as I exited the bathroom.

"I guess you could call it that. I'm still breathing... So yeah sure. I'm alright."

He just looked down for a minute before I spoke up.

"There's a difference in living and just breathing....."

He looked up at me with his brows knitted together.

"I'm not living anymore, only breathing."

I said as my voice cracked and I crawled back into my bed and rolled over trying to stop the urge to cry.

Cam was silent at first, but then questioned again.

"W-what do you mean?" He asked as I could hear his voice nearing my bed.

"You think you get my problems but you really don't. There's more to my story and to my name. There's more to my eating an more to my silence. Silence is the loudest cry for help."

I spat out the words as if I were arguing with my mother.

"Well maybe if you'd quit being so quiet and opened up a little I could help."

"You cannot help the broken Cameron."

"I could try..."

Thank god a knock sounded at my door as the silence continued.

I stood up and walked over to the door to greet....ah Aaron.

"Hey Lilly!"

"Sup carpenter?"

I stepped back to let him in.

"Nothing much. I was wondering if you wanted to come to the beach with me later?"

"Yeah sure! But I uh... I don't have a bathing suit"

"No problem We'll swing by and grab one before we hit the sand."

Aaron spoke smoothly.

"Alright, sounds great! Let me get ready and meet me back here at....."

I glanced at my alarm clock the hotel had set out for me.

"2 o'clock?"

"Sure! Adiós amigos!"

With that Aaron left.

I only had 45 minutes to get ready so I slipped on my pastel violet cutoff jean shorts and a wide sleeved tank that had lace in the back and said "Marvel" on the front above pictures of the avengers.

I pulled my long wavy hair into a pony tail and applied waterproof eyeliner and mascara.

I guess Cameron got annoyed at my sudden negativity because after Aaron left so did he.

It didn't really matter to Me at the moment because he had no idea what I really was going through....

Or....did he?
