"Just Friends"

Chapter 15

LILLYS POV

"Umm Crawford I really like you but-"

I started but he cut me off.

"But what Lilly?" He looked down "Lilly I really like you too so why can't we be together?"

"Crawford... I'm sorry. I just think that if we were to go out and I do something wrong-" I looked down "I might lose you"

"You won't lose me." He assured me but before I could stop myself.

"Do you know haw many times I've heard that?" I mumbled "nobody sticks around with me. I lost my bestfriend! My dad! My mom! What the hell did I do to deserve it?"

"Lilly-"

"No just stop" but by this time I was crying.

"I'm going to go sleep in Chris's room." He stood up and kissed my fore head then left. I sat on my bed without saying a word.

CRAWFORDS POV

I wasn't going to their room I was going down stairs. I was walking around for a little bit before I bumped into Madison.

"Sorry"

"Oh hi Crawford! What's the matter?" She asked looking worried.

"Nothing. I'm fine."

"Crawford don't you lie to me. Come on. Tell me. I swear I won't tweet anything." She swore

"Okay."

She led me to her room and I sat down In the desk chair and she sat in the bed. I told her everything that happened starting from the day I met Lilly to today. She gave me some advice but I knew I wouldn't use it because I probably lost her.

"Are you hungry?" She asked

"A little" I lied I wasn't hungry at all but I hadn't eaten at all.

"Let's go downstairs and get some food. Well for your broken heart you need ice cream." She teased I just gave a little laugh.

We split a big bowl of ice cream and talked for a while.

LILLYS POV

I sat in my room for a couple hours then decided to go get Crawford and talk. I went to Chris's room.

"Hey Chris is Crawford here?" I asked

"No why?"

"Nothing." I looked down "I'll see you tomorrow." He shut the door. I decided to go looking for him. I walked to the pool. The lobby. Every other boys rooms. Then the cafe. I was looking through the glass and they were on the far side of the wall. He's already with someone else. Then she turned around. Madison. I must admit I was jealous. You saw how I reacted with Rachel.

I watched a little longer. She started to lean in. He looked confused then leaned in too. As soon as their lips touched I started sobbing. I was running to the elevator and down the hall to my room and when I was putting my key card in I was grabbed from behind and blind folded and dragged to another room. The person tied my hands behind my back and my feet together than tied a tie through my mouth. I was laying on the bed. Looking around the room. God someone help me.

CRAWFORDS POV

I quickly pulled away from Madison. She was super pretty but I didn't feel the same thing as I did with Lilly.

"I'm so sorry." I said standing up and running to our room to apologize but once I was there Lilly wasn't their. I checked everyone's rooms that said they hadn't seen her. Her stuff was still here. Where was she? I decided to wait an hour before I flipped out.

LILLYS POV

"Hi Lilly." A unknown voice said

I couldn't talk but I had my eyes shut. I was so mad at Crawford but I needed to deal with me right now.

"You don't know me."

Well no shit.

"I'm your dad." He paused "I'm going to untie this. I jus want to talk." I nodded and he untied the tie in my mouth. I opened my eyes and saw a tall man. I was so scared.

"Please don't hurt me." I begged.

He chuckled. What the hell was funny? "I'm not. I just want to talk."

"About what? How you left me? With my mom and her abusive husband?" I was pissed

"Is that what she told you?" He chuckled sitting down.

"Lilly. She ran away with you." He looked down. "She was mad at me. She thought I wasn't a good dad she thoug-" I cut him off.

"I can see why! I'm fucking tied up!" I was so confused

He untied me. "Can I continue?"

"Yes."

"She thought I wasn't a good father. She wouldn't let me talk to you. I wrote to you everyday. Lilly I loved you." He looked around "Lilly I was working one of my three jobs to support you two. She ran away with you to California." He looked up at me "I never saw you again."

"I'm sorry I can't deal with this." I said standing up.

"Lilly. Please just.." He paused "give me your number? Please I wanna talk to you. Please?" He begged

"Fine." I wrote my number down and left. I didn't want to go back to my room so I went into Taylor's room. I decided not to tell anyone what had happened with my dad. Chris wasn't there it was just Taylor.

CRAWFORDS POV

Chris was in my room and I had told him what I did. He didn't say anything. He just sat their with me. I even got emotional. I really did like her and i had to be honest with her. She would hate me.

LILLYS POV

Taylor sat down on his bed and patted a seat next to me. "What's the matter?" He asked

"Me and Crawford had an argument. I don't want to talk about it."

"Okay then what do you-" I cut him off by crashing my lips into his. He was tense. Then he relaxed and grabbed me by the back of my neck. We started making out then I pulled away.

"Taylor I'm really sorry."

"For what?" He asked

Then I told him about me and Crawford and what I saw with Madison.

"I'm sorry Lilly but I really only think of you as a sister."

"Good I only think of you as a brother, and can we just not talk about this? Please?" I begged

"Anything. Do you wanna stay here Chris is with Crawford?" He asked

"If it's okay."

"It's fine."

I went and laid on top of the covers then Taylor laid right next to me. I buried my head in his chest and fell asleep.

THE NEXT MORNING

"LILLY?!" I heard someone yell

"Crawford?" I said sitting up and rubbing my eyes.

"What are you doing? With him?"

"I could ask you the same question."

"What going on?" Taylor asked "oh I'll be in the hall." He got up and walked out the door.

He didn't answer after that. "I think I'm going to stay with Taylor the rest of the tour." I told him walking out of the for and to the other room.

"Lilly. Why are you so mad? We arnt even together." He shouldn't have said that.

"Crawford! What the hell? I freaking like you more than anyone! Now... I- I-I can only see you with her." I said walking out of the door leaving him behind. Truth is I wasn't mad at her. She didn't know. It was him. Now, I don't even know anymore.
