LILO BROWN

__" Ali I'm heading out." I yelled knowing she probably couldn't hear me. I grabbed my keys and walked out the door. I just wanted to get away. I don't know where I was going but all I knew was I couldn't stay in the house.

I really just want to be happy. That's really all I ask for. I pulled up to a destination and got out of the car and went to the counter and ordered two slices of pizza. One pepperoni and one cheese. The man I met before nodded and smiled. I handed him my card and he didn't take it. I don't understand why nobody will just let me pay. I sighed and walked to a booth. I sat at the same exact one that day Zion brought me. We had so much fun just enjoying each others company.

He brought out my pizza and I ate it. I was scrolling through Instagram and commenting on things when I heard the door open. I was confused considering it was pretty late at night.

"Can I get a small box of pizza and fries?" Someone said but I ignored it and continued to look at a post.

I heard a thank you and i head footsteps coming towards me. I look up and sigh. "Zion."

"What are you doing here?" He said back.

"I- um Edwin and Ali are you know doing it up." I said and he laughed. I smiled, his laugh always made me smile a little i couldn't help it. "You can sit down if you'd like."

He nodded and took a seat across from me. "If you don't mind me asking, why are you here." He said while i took a bite of my pizza.

"I felt lost and alone so i just drove here."

"I felt the same way." He said back with a sigh.

Bobby then came out with one large pizza with half cheese and half pepperoni and a side of fries. Zion looked confused considering this isn't what he order i guess. "Share with your girlfriend, I don't know why y'all came separately but all i have to say is fix it Zion and listen to the lovely lady." Bobby said before walking away.

"She's not my girlfriend." Zion tried to say fast enough for Bobby to hear before he walked off. "You don't have to eat any."

I shook my head. "No i'll help you." I said taking a fry. He smiled at me as he grabbed a slice of his pizza. "We should talk right?" He took a bite as i talked. "I mean we are here we might as well."

He nodded and swallowed his food. "Should i start?" I nodded as i grabbed another fry. "Well i love you and i'm sorry for how bad i hurt you and i miss you." He stared in my eyes and i quickly looked away regretting this. "Lilo it's been months and i can't you off my mind i just want to restart."

"Why?" I said scooting the fries away kind of losing my appetite. He tilted his head confused. "Why do love me still? Why do you want to stick around after i left you at the party?"

He took a deep breath and closed his pizza box to look at me better. "Because i can't stop loving someone who made me feel so different without the physical contact. I stayed cause everything we felt was real and i can't move on from how i felt that night Lilo you are important to me."

I took a deep breath also I didn't want to cry. I'm sick of crying. "I'm important now? I wasn't important before when Evie came into the picture." My voice cracked as i said her name.
