Chances

Chapter III

Lily's POV

Dream;
"Princess? Your mother wishes to speak with you" the little girl jumps off the bed and walks to the figure
"Is it about my birthday party Dave?" the figure only chuckles
"I bet it is" the little girl giggles and skips ahead of the figure
End of dream

I wake up startled by that dream, who is that figure? Was that my dad? Am I a princess? Why would he call me princess if I wasn't?

I take a deep breath to calm myself then I lie back down only to see Jackson sleeping soundly beside me so I check the time to see that it's 4:30 am. Why does these dreams wake me up at these hours?

I turn to Jackson putting my head on his chest once more and he wraps his arm around me pulling me closer, this causes me to drift off.

~~

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

I rub the sleep from my eyes while stifling a yawn. I escape Jackson's arms to stretch a little then I turn to him only to see him smiling at me.

"I like the view, could you stretch again and touch your toes?" he winks making me become beet red

"Jack, you're such a perv!" he laughs as I chuck a pillow at him

"Anyways I'm going to shower and get ready" he nods while I go to my suitcase where I grab grey lacy undergarments, grey jeans, grey ripped hoodie and grey socks with grey slides

"Why so much grey today?" I smile looking around at him

"I have a feeling today will be eventful so why not?" he nods while I lay out my clothes on his bed

I stand there thinking how to do my hair. Maybe a high ponytail? Two pigtails? A low ponytail? Fishtail braid to the side? Or a cur-

"Why don't you wear you hair down today, it'd compliment your look" he shrugs smiling to which I nod

"Should I straighten it or leave it to air dry?" he thinks about it then smiles

"Straighten it, I've never seen your hair straighten before" I nod giggling at his childish voice

"Ohh, umm if your body wash, shampoo or conditioner finishes then am really sorry" he waves it off

"Doesn't matter use as much as you'd like Lily" I smile taking up my clothes then go inside the bathroom to put them down then I forgot to take up the flat iron so I open the door and go for it and my blow dryer

I quickly shower and wash my hair so we won't be late for school. My hair is soft so blow drying it is easy then I start straightening it. I finish my hair so I pull on my clothes and footwear then unplug everything I used and brush my teeth.

I walk out the bathroom with my hair straighten with a slide part with some tucked behind my ear as I go to my bag my phone vibrates so I pull it out to see a text from Mrs. Willis.

Mrs. Willis: Good morning Lilian, I won't be able to make it today seeing as the royal family is coming to visit the orphanage but afterwards I'll come get you

Me: I understand Mrs. Willis but can I ask you something?

Mrs. Willis: of course you can sweetie, what is it?

Me: the friend I'm staying with asked if I could stay permanently and I feel safe here but I told them I'd ask you first

There's no quick response so I bite my nails and hope for the best and soon enough the phone vibrates.
