Dripping Love GxG

Chapter 4

We pull up to my house and Lilly stops the car, getting out to help me as I open the door. 

"I'll grab the crutches." She says as I use the car to keep balance and Lilly grabs the crutches from the backseat.

"Thanks." I smile as I take the crutches.

"No problem. Do you have a ride to school?" She asks.

"The bus." I state.

"I'll pick you up at 7." She smiles. 

"You don't have to." I say.

"But I want to " 

"Thanks." I smile.

"Ash!" I hear mom yell from behind me. Cringe slightly as Lilly chuckles at me. I hear footsteps from behind me as I turn around to see mom walking towards me and Lilly.

"Hey, mom. This is Lilly." I smile.

"It's nice to meet you." Mom smiles and they shake hands. "I'm Cindy." 

"Likewise." Lilly smiles sweetly.

"Thank you for helping Ash. She's very clumsy. Always has been."

"Mom." I try to stop her.

"She once fell in the-" 

"Okay. That's enough of that. Mom. Let's go inside." I say trying to get her to shut up.

"But I'm talking to your friend."

"And you can talk to her later. Lilly is picking me up for school tomorrow. I'll see you tomorrow Lilly." I say as Lilly laughs lightly at us.

"Alright." Mom says and turns to go inside.

"See you tomorrow." Lilly smiles. I smile back and start to go inside. 

"Bye." I call out before closing the door. 

"She seems nice." Mom smiles.

"She is." I tell her and go to the kitchen. 

"Did you eat?" Mom asks.

"No." I look in the fridge. "Can I have this?" I hold up a container with chicken in it.

"Yeah. I'm going to bed so don't stay up too late." I nod and mom goes upstairs. I warm up the chicken and do my best to go to the couch and eat. After eating I decide to crash on the couch.

I wake up to mom slightly shaking me.

"Ash, I got you clothes so you don't have to go up the stairs." She says. 

"Thanks." I yawn and sit up, rubbing my eyes. Mom nods and I take the clothes to the downstairs bathroom trying not to fall. I change and look in the mirror. 

Mom gave me a white tank top and jeans with a jean jacket. I go back to the living room and notice mom is making breakfast and dad is sitting at the table so I sit at the table as my phone buzzes. I take it out and see Lilly texted.

Hey you awake?

I reply.

Ya mom's making breakfast

"Do you live on that phone?" Dad asks.

"No, my friend is picking me up so I don't have to ride the bus with crutches." I tell him as Lilly answers.

I'll come pick you up in a few minutes

I tell her okay as dad says.

"Why do you even have crutches?"
