"Just Friends"

Chapter 17

CRAWFORDS POV

Me, Chris, Aaron and Taylor were in a room waiting for Lilly. I was nervous. I've never been to a place like this. She walked in with this really skinny girl.

"Guys!" She yelled running up to us. She ran up to each of us and gave us each a bear hug. "This is ana. My room mate"
"Oh my god! You were talking about the Crawford Collins! I'm such a huge fan!" She said hugging all of us.
"Hey ana can I have a couple minutes alone with them?" Lilly asked
"Yeah sorry! Nice meeting you guys!" She said skipping out the door.

"Lilly!" All three of us screamed bear hugging her.
"Are you okay?" Taylor asked
"I'm fine. It's okay here I guess. I met a new friend. Also nobody judges."
"Good for you Lilly. You'll be out of here tomorrow night around 6 is what the doctor said" I told her "he said you didn't have to stay the full two days and one and a half was enough."
"Yay! Guys I miss you! But Rachel is going to need to run because whenI'm back in California... I'm coming for her." She said still maintaining a smile

The speaker came on and announced 5 more minutes till we had to leave.

"Lilly stay strong and we are getting all the favorite foods when you come back because the food here probably sucks." Aaron told her
"We had dominoes today." She said in a quiet voice
"But do they have ive cream and chips and that weird substance you love?" He asked
"Alcohol?" She asked
"No the white stuff" me and Taylor bursted out laughing. We were so immature.
"Oh the sweetened condensed milk?" She asked push me and Taylor.
"Yeah! That."
"Everyone please exit the room." The speaker said
"Okay lills love you!" Taylor sai hugging her
"Love you too!" Lilly said
"But lills I'll have your white stuff waiting!" Aaron said to her then giving her a dirty look
"Well bye Lilly! Ill miss you. And I'll visit you tomorrow but with Matt and Brent." I said giving. Her a huge hug
"Crawford?" She asked no letting go
"Yeah?"
"You know I love you right?" She asked
"Really?" She nodded
"Love you crawfish" she said letting go
"Love you Lilly!" I said walking to the door backwards. "Oh and I love the jumpsuit!" I yelled as I walked out the door. She just flipped me off.

She loved me. I didn't know if she meant in a friend way or what but if take it.

LILLYS POV

me and ana talked all day. When we were outside. During class. When we were changing into our night cloths. Even before lights out.

Ana fell fast asleep. I stayed up and thought about telling Crawford I loved him. I meant it in a friend way because we wernt together. But after what felt like hours I fell asleep.

NEXT MORNING

"Lilly it's time to get up."
"What time is it??" I asked
"Seven twenty am." She said brushing her hair. "We have to leave in ten minutes."
"Shhiiitttt" I said stretching.

I changed into my jumpsuit. I asked ana is I could borrow her brush to put my hair back and she let me. Then we went and ate breakfast. Waffles.

CRAWFORDS POV

I woke up around 9:30 and there was a note from Matt and Brent.

Dear crawf,
We are getting breakfast. Text us if you want something. Love you boo!
- Matt and Brent
Ps PUUMMMMAAAAA - Matt

I texted them telling them to get me so French toast. Then I took a shower and got ready to go see Lilly. I decided to wear the crew neck she always wore with some jeans and vans. I also wore a beanie. As Americans call it. Then I was ready.

Matt and Brent brought me food then we headed to the hospital. I couldn't wait to see her. It's only been a day but I missed her. Once we got there we were early. We still had to give the hospital everything in our pockets though. We waited in the room for her. She was the first person in. She ran up and hugged all of us.
"Can't wait to get out of here!" She yelled and sat down. "You guys believe me about Rachel though right?" She asked
