Taylor's p. o. v.

Upon hearing the knock on the door I set my guitar down and headed downstairs.

"Ed?" I asked opening the door.

"Hey." He said smiling.

"Do you want Lily? I can go get her." I asked.

"Actually, i wanted to talk to you." He replied.

"Me?" I asked confused.

"Yes you. I was wondering if you'd like to go out to dinner?" He asked.

"What, all of us? That would be-"

"No actually, I was thinking maybe just you and me."

"I don't know Ed. It would be fun but I don't know how Tay-" He cut me off again.

"It's fine. I was just wondering." He said turning around.

"Wait Ed." He turned back to face me. "Dinner sounds lovely."

"Okay, I'll pick you up at eight." He said walking down the driveway. I shut the door and leaned against it. I felt my cheeks get hot as I walked to a mirror. Did i just blush?

I smiled to myself as I walked up to my writing room. Picking my guitar back up to finish a song I heard a noise. It was coming from Lily's room.

"Lil'?" I called out.

No answer.

I stood up and walked towards her room curious. I opened her door and looked in. Nothing. Where was she?

I heard sobs erupt from the bathroom. Running to the door I called for her.

"Lily!"

I threw the bathroom door open and looked at the shock on Lily's face looking up at me. There was blood on the floor next to her and her cheeks were smeared with mascara. I bent down on the floor next to her.

"I'm sorry." She sobbed into my shoulder.

"Shhh, it's okay." I said calming her.

"I'm a dissapointment." She said looking up at me.

"No you're not. Please don't ever say that again." I said as she nodded. I stood up and grabbed a washcloth from the cabinet. Running it under water Lily stood up.

"I didn't mean to." She said looking at me.

I looked into her eyes and saw everything. I saw the hurt, the guilt, the hate. Everything that she was experiencing at school.

"I know you didn't Lily. I'm not mad at you." I said running the washcloth over her wrists. She walked closer to me and I put my arms around her.

"What's your favorite song?" I asked her.

"What?"

"Your favorite song. What is it?''

"Oh, it's safe and sound..." She said looking up at me. I smiled as her as i walked her back into her room. I sat on the bed next to her and she laid her head in my lap. Playing with her hair she smiled up at me as I sang her favorite song.

"...You and I will be safe and sound..."
