things always get better

After Lillie and Cameron made their way back into the apartment, they were greeted by all of the boys drinking in the living room. Once the door clicked behind them, the attention immediately focused on Lillie. 

She looked around for a minute, trying to think of something to say. Instead, she walked past them and into the kitchen, grabbing the movie night snacks and drinks, bringing them to the coffee table.

"Mason told you everything, right?" She asked the boys. They nodded in return, but before anyone could say a word, she left back into the kitchen, grabbing coronas and a blanket before climbing out to the fire escape again.

Mason's POV-

"Should someone talk to her?" Matt asked.

Mason skulled his drink, standing up to join her, bringing one of her favourite snacks. As he climbed over the window, Lillie smiled up at him, patting the grate beside her.

"I've got some things for ya," Mason said, pulling his phone out.

Lillie looked at him with an excited, yet confused expression.

"I accidentally crushed it, sorry..." he said as he pulled a now crumpled plastic bag out of his back pocket. Lillie giggled as she opened the bag, dumping the crumbs into her mouth.

After a moment of silence, Mason looked over to examine her face. Puffy eyes and cheeks, her nose still slightly pink. Seeing her like this made Mason's heart sink, immediately prompting an idea in his head.

Mason put his arm around her, hugging her as he buried his face into the crook of her neck, as he usually does. Lillie smiled as she hugged him back, resting her head on his shoulder.

"I love you cunt," Mason muttered.

"I love you too," she responded.

"Oi, I'm gonna head to bed, my head hurts," Lillie said as they released the embrace.

"Yeah, I'll walk ya," he said, helping her stand as he grabbed the remaining bottles, both full and empty.

As Mason set the bottles on the counter, Lillie walked into the living room to say goodnight to the boys, who were now watching a movie with enormous spiders on the screen.

The two departed to her room, Mason looking at random objects around the room as Lillie changed.

Lillie's POV-

"Come here," Mason whispered after she sat on the bed. He pulled her into yet another hug.

Lillie felt his shaky breathing as his heart raced, knowing he was beginning to cry.

"You're okay. I"m okay. We're okay, don't worry..." Lillie whispered as she stroked his back. "She's gone..." she continued.

"She won't hurt you again, I swear to fucking god if she hurts you again-" Mason began to trail off, rambling about his fear of her being hurt, and how much he loves her.

After a heartfelt moment of chatting and expressing their honest feelings for the situation and one another, they cleaned up, and Mason left to join the boys again.

Lillie wiped her eyes as she sat on her bed, grabbing her book from the nightstand, reading as she calmed down.

After a couple of chapters, Cameron entered the room, smiling to her as he closed the door behind him.

"Are they still watching that spider movie?" she asked, marking her page in the book before setting it back on the table.

"Yeah, they're gonna head out after the movie. Matt's passed out though," he responded.

"That's alright. If I'd known they were coming I would have gotten more mattresses," Lillie said, remembering how the boys all had her back, which lifted her mood greatly.

Cameron's POV-

"Nah, that's alright. They've got an airBnB they're going back to," Cameron said as he changed his shirt. Lillie turned away, letting him change his pants.

"Hey, you wanna go out tomorrow?" he asked, sitting on the air mattress.

"What?" Lillie turned around, shocked and confused.

"W-with Jay and a friend! Her name is Anna. Catypo," he corrected himself.

"The others are going house shopping, and I don't need to go, and Jay wants to meet with Anna," he finished.

Lillie smiled at the question, causing Cam to smile back. "Yes! I'd love to! Her streams are so nice, she excitedly said.

"What are we doing?" She asked, re-positioning herself to lie down.

"It's a surprise, you'll see," he said, dimming the room light before walking towards Lillie's bed, tucking her in as she dozed off.

As he pulled away, Lillie grabbed his hand whilst mumbling something in her sleep. Cameron moved his ear closer to hear her, only to get gibberish of "mmm, cheese sticks...".

Cameron smiled at her cute expression, reluctant to let go of her hand as he returned to his bed, admiring her face as he fell asleep.
