My bad boy neighbor is good? (Incomplete)

Chapter 18: Recalling

Hey guys, I was wondering if I should change the title of my book to "Savior" or something along those lines because I think the title is to long right now and savior suits it better. Also I love it when you guys comment, so please give me feedback!!! I love you guys:)

Lily's POV

I plunged out of my dream panting and clenching my hands over my bare chest.

Oh no, no!! This can't be happening, not again!!

For months I had that reoccurring dream until I finally forgot, well not exactly. I tried, I don't know the dreams just stopped, maybe because of my new hope. But.... after months I had that dream again, the dream that would send me reminders on why I can't rely on anyone, in a way I was glad. Maybe the pain would help me stay away from him, but it would scar me just as much.

After a few words of consultation to myself I opened my eyes to search my surroundings. I saw the features of the room I hadn't seen last night, the whole right wall was made of glass, I slowly made myself to the wall and looked out of it in awe, the sun lite up the room perfectly. There was a beach just in front of the house, it was a beautiful sight, it brought a long lost smile on my face.

After taking in the beauty of the beach, I turned around and gave myself a tour of the rest of the room, it was... flattering. It had a wooden floor with a gigantic walk in closet, not to mention the bathroom. Most everything in the room was a light blue along with the small couches across from the bed.

I walked back to the closet and looked for the most covering clothes

gosh why does this girl have such revealing clothes

In the end the best i could do was a pair of ripped, very ripped, jeans and a white top with parts of the sleeves and shoulders hollow.

I set the clothes and a pair of undergarments, that I also I found in the closet, on the bathroom counter before stripping off my clothes and running the water in the shower next to the bath tube. I jumped into the warm water right after.

I didn't notice the blood being carried down the drain by the water, until the shampoo in my hair started running down and stinging the wound at the bottom of my back.

its still bleeding

"shit" I roll my eyes, letting my head fall back

After I dried off and got dressed, I rushed back to the bed and pushed around the comforter to eye the bed spread underneath

I fell back on the bed and set my head between my hands, sighing. To my disappointment, the spread was in fact covered in my blood.

Then an idea struck me and a smile of victory was plastered on my face. I went through the cupboards in the gigantic bathroom and found two things: a bandage wrap and a few clean sheets of bed spread.

I started off by wrapping the bandage tightly around my hip and lower back. Not for treatment, just enough to stop the blood from seeping out.

Then I ripped the comforter and bed spread off the bed and put the bed spread in the laundry basket in the corner opposite from the door.

Wait, I can't let Brent see the bloody sheets

I ran back to the basket and took out the bed spread, looking for a place to put them where he wouldn't find them.

Ah haha

I spotted a book bin outside of the walk-in closet. I walked over and opened it, empty. I stuffed the bed spread in the bin and put in inside of the closet.

After I changed the spread, I glanced in the mirror, put my hair up in a bun, and made my way down stairs.

At first I almost got lost in the big house but soon enough I found the stairs I walked up last night. Since the kitchen was the first room I saw, I entered.

I looked at the big kitchen in awe and took a small tour that I found a small note during, that read

I'm going out for a bit, breakfast is in the fridge along with lunch,
Brent

I was actually glad he wasn't home at that moment because I could just have some time to think, alone. I wonder where he is..... probably with another girl.

My closed my eyes and set my head on the table, and got up with a smile on my face. I was ready to make it through the day.

After eating some breakfast and taking a small look around the house, I stared out of the window in the bright living room. I looked at the peaceful people in the beach, there weren't many it looked like a few small families that might have lived near.

I bite my bottom lip observing the happy families playing with their kids in the warm weather. I spotted a little girl with her dad in the water, he had his hands on her stomach as she pretended to swim. Looked like he was teaching her how to swim.

Soon a boy I could only spot from the back walked over and tapped the dads shoulder, motioning the dad to let him step in instead. After a while of the same thing, they started splashing each other with water, laughing and playing.

It cringed my heart how happy they were together, wouldn't I deserve the same. Why do I have to see this everyday from far and just wish to have a family like that?

I decided to take a walk across the far end of the beach to clear my mind. The last time I checked the time was 3:34pm so I had plenty of time to pass.

I walked as a cool breeze, more relaxing than cold, brushed past my cheeks. I ignored the pain in my back as I walked up and down the shores, after getting tired of that I just sat near the shallow water, letting the bottom of my jeans and feet get soaked.

I laid down on my back and took in my surrounding by closing my eyes and feeling the warm sun and sand surround me.

For the first time in a while, I didn't regret wishing someone was here with me....

Sorry guys, it's short but I will update soon and I hope you guys are still enjoying the book, I know there wasn't any Brent in his chapter but I promise the next chapter will be better and have lots of brent in it:)
