I Need You [A Zack Foster x OC fanfic]

What Happened to You?

"Where the fuck have you been?!" Zack yelled out, crushing the girl into a hug.

Lily was stil trying to comprehend that Zack was hugging her.

If there was one thing that Lily had learned about Zack, it was that he absolutely hated physical contact.

Yet here he was, hugging her.

Lily hesitantly wrapped her arms around the man holding onto her.

They stayed this way for a bit, before Zack eventually backed off.

"It really is nice to see you again Lily, but seriously, just where the hell have you been?" He questions.

"Around. Here and there. I haven't exactly been staying in one spot for long." Lily said with a shrug.

"Alright. Where were you when...." Zack trailed off. He was about to say 'when I killed those two bastards back at the orphanage' but then realized that it might not go over so well with Lily. After all, Lily doesn't know about him being a serial killer. The last time he saw her was before he killed for the first time, not after.

Wait.

Then why hasn't she said anything about the blood on my clothes?

Zack shook his head, clearing his thoughts.

That's not important right now.

"What happened after...the last time we saw each other?" Zack questioned, careful with his words.

But Lily just stared at him, leaving him highly uncomfortable with her lack of words.

Something that only Lily could do to him.

"Wha-" Zack started.

"Was it you who killed them?" Lily interrupted.

Zack froze.

"Um....Who?" He questioned, nervous.

"The two owners back at the orphanage." Lily said, calmly.

Well...fuck.

"Yeah...That was me." Zack let out with a sigh.

Lily simply shook her head a few times, not looking surprised at all.

"I thought so." She said, quietly. 

"But anyway, how did you know about that? Where were you when I killed them? I looked everywhere but couldn't find you." Zack asked, with a serious look on his face.

"I was still inside the house." Lily said.

Zack's eyes widened.

"How?! I went through the house! All of it! How could I have not seen you?!" Zack yelled out.

Please don't lie to me, Lily. I don't want to hate you.

"Do you know how some people will have little hidden areas in certain rooms?" Lily asked suddenly.

Wha...

Zack's mind immediately went to the building he and Ray were stuck in.

All those puzzles and hidden rooms sprang to mind.

"...Yeah...I know about that kind of thing." Zack said distastefully.

Lily looked confused at the weird look on Zack's face, but she continued.

"..Well...there was a spot underneath the floorboards. I was stuffed under there with a bookshelf put on top." Lily said, her voice monotone.

Zack's fist tightened.

"Why were you put down there?" He questioned.

Lily was silent for a bit, her mind stuck in her past.

After she got her thoughts in order together, she began...
