LILLIAN made it to her apartment after Ned's mother had dropped her off. She looked around, noticing that she was alone and her brother was still at the dance. She sighed nervously as she goes into her room and then into her bathroom, changing into her cozy red flannel shorts and a dark grey loose sweatshirt along with some cream colored fuzzy socks. Getting her phone from the pocket of her dress that was now hanging up in her bathroom, she took her phone with her to her bed. She grabbed the remote from her nightstand, turning it on to a random channel as she waited for Peter to text or call her.

Hearing a tapping sound coming from her window, she looked up to see a dirty, bruised with a cut lip Peter outside of her window. Her eyes narrowed as she quickly got up to her window to open it for him. Peter slowly rolled into her room tiredly as he groaned in pain.

"Peter, oh my god. Are you okay?" She whispered softly, helping Peter up to her bed as she gently helped him sit down.

Peter nodded as he groaned as Lillian quickly goes to shut her door, locking it afterward. "Yeah, I'll be fine. I'm just tired." He whispered as he slowly laid down against her soft bed.

Lillian goes to her bathroom, getting a damp wash cloth and walking back to a tired Peter. She sat near his head, lifting his head up to place it back down against her lap gently. She wiped away the dirt from Peter's face as she finally spoke up, "I heard you took Flash's car and phone tonight." She laughed softly, giving Peter a small smile as she continued cleaning off the dirt on his face.

He lets out a tired laugh, "Yeah... you should've seen his face. It was... kinda funny." He smiles lopsidedly with his eyes closed contentedly. "H-How was homecoming?" His eyebrows furrowed as his eyes flutter open, finally looking up at Lillian.

Lillian stopped her movements for a brief second before continuing again, "Um... it was okay." She shrugged as she smiled softly, meeting Peter's gaze.

Peter hummed in response, lifting his hand up to Lillian's cheek as he softly caresses it with the back of his knuckles. "You look pretty." He mumbles afraid to speak up any louder.

Lillian held his hand in hers, "Peter-" She sighed, cutting her sentence short, stopping her movements as she placed the wash cloth beside her.

"Why did we have to grow apart?" Peter asked suddenly, playing with Lillian's fingers whilst tracing random shapes in her palm.

Lillian shook her head as she ran her free hand into his curls, "I don't know. Life happens, Pete." She gulped nervously as she shrugged.

He shook his head in disagreement, "I think it's more than that." He said, intertwining their fingers as he laid their hands against his chest. He raised his head up slightly to meet Lillian's gaze, "I became distant with you because of the 'internship' which was a terrible thing to do to you, I know." He let out a tired sigh. "But... I only did that because... I-I didn't want anything to happen to you." He said softly as his thumb caressed the back of her hand that he was gently holding.

She gave him a reassuring smile, her free hand slowly moving to caress his face. "Nothing is going to happen to me." She reassured him as her other hand gave him slight squeeze. She sighed in thought as her eyebrows furrowed slightly. "I guess... I became distant because I-I didn't like the fact that you um... had a crush on Liz and that was the only thing you would talk to me about?" She chuckled lightly as she thought her reason was stupid and foolish now that she thought about it.

Peter looked at her with narrowed eyes, "I did?" He asked as his free hand rubbed his eyes tiredly whilst Lillian nodded her head. He dropped his free hand by his other hand, "I'm sorry. I-I didn't know."
