Filled with arrogance, self-centered Lilah Miller has caught a weird liking toward the new popular nerd Xavier Kinsley but there's lot mor...
I got up as fast as I could and started taking out clothes off my wardrobe to find something presentable and finally settled on a flowy skirt and a black crop top. I left my hair open put on my necklace applied some lipstick.

Just then my doorbell and rang and I rushed down to get my sneakers and get the door.
I opened the door happily but what I saw next shook my world. I froze just as I saw him. He cant be back. All my memories came rushing back and my insides were screaming.
I couldn't get myself to take any action.
"Oh look at you all dolled up princess! I knew you missed me isn't it?" he said with a smirk.
I shifted back and shut the door as quick as I could.
I saw Xavier's car turning up near my house through my peripheral vision and I couldn't do anything but run. I heard him saying something but I couldnt perceive anything. All I could think of was what happened and rushed up to my room. I tried practicing the butterfly hug my doc taught me and sat back with closed eyes .
I saw all black. I could hear voices screaming and calling me names. Piercing blue eyes came walking towards me and I couldnt focus on anything but his voice.
"You little slut, you think you couldve escaped me, escaped us!?!?!"He shouted but I could notice the amusement in his eyes.
"hey heyhey, its okay baby. Im here. Calm down. Breathe." I felt Xav say as I came back to reality
"Inhale. Exhale.", he helped me breathe and all I could do was sob in his arms. I havent felt this vulnerable in a long time. And I never wanted Xavier to experience this side of me.
"Go. Go away. Leave me alone. You're gonna get hurt. Just leave." I screamed at him. Clutching his shirt and leaving it wet with spots of my tears.
I didn't want him to leave but I couldn't let him be near me. But I think he understands my actions and hugs me tighter and holds my hands to loosen the grip all the while muttering sweet nothings to calm me down. I couldn't have been thankful enough for him to be this understanding and not demanding for answers and just being there even when he knew something was up.
We stayed like that till I calmed. Then I rushed to the bathroom and fixed myself remembering the moment that passed.
"You better not mention any of this to my mom." I said coolly.
"I wasnt even gonna do that kiddo. You hurt me. I thought you knew me better."he said trying to lighten the mood.
Then we went to the car and drove off.
I saw my brother and Juliana play together in the foyer.
I entered the house and it had overall warmth to it that I noticed I lacked.
I felt at home for some stupid reason. It was the same when I was with Xav. I saw mom and Sara, Xavs mom emerging from the kitchen.
"oh what a timing, Lilah." Sara said.
"Hi to you too, mom.", Xavier said sarcastically.
And I smiled at her. We exchanged our greetings and the kids were called for dinner. We all ate making small talks. Sara was an amazing cook and she made the best lasagna in the world. My mum also baked cake for dinner. They said it reminded them of the past and reminisced their friendship.
My mom said that we were staying for a while before going. So the kids went to watch TV and Sara sent us to Xavs room.
We went upstairs. His room was clean as expected. A neatly placed study table with a Bookshelf on the side wall. His bed was in the middle of the room and a small sitting area by the window. I sat on his bed it was cozy and smelt like him.
Finally he said, "wanna talk about it?"
"No.", I simply answered. I couldn't let him in anymore. I couldn't get him trouble even if I trusted him for some reason.
He stayed quiet and went to the window staring outside.
"Thanks for before though." I said breaking the silence.
"You should know how important you are to me kiddo and you can talk to me whenever you feel." He said.
Whatever it was I felt I knew it was start of something but all I can think was how he treated e like a sister. So I dismissed all ideas and just nodded.
We fell into a calm silence. Until my mom called and I left.
