🍕Okay. Woo. Let's go. Last book. Thank you all for sticking with me through this.🍕
A New Life
Lilly's POV
I flip through the pages of the thick book deliberately, taking the time to read every poem and story stored within.
I love Edgar Allen Poe.
Abigail got me this book for my birthday, due to my massive obsession with him.
"Lilly!" I hear a teenage boy call for me.
"Yeah?" I yell back.
"C'mere! I have a surprise for you." I can practically see him smirking behind the walls.
"Bring it here, Bray." I yell.
"Lilly please stop yelling to your boy toy." Julian yells at me.
"Oh my god. Shut up." I laugh.
"Bray! Get in here! Your woman needs you!" He yells.
"Oh my lord." I mumble.
Soon the teenage boy whom had beckoned me earlier turns the corner into the large room.
I peak through the bases of the many beds to get a glimpse at him.
He grins when he sees me, plopping himself on my bed.
"Reading his stuff again I see." He looks me down with those perfect blue eyes.
He shakes his wavy dark hair and smiles at me, showing his massive dimples.
"It's the only thing that makes sense anymore." I mutter.
I slide my feet off the bed to sit directly next to him.
His frame is large but skinny.
"I got you this-" he holds out a black rose.
"I painted it black. I know how you don't like bright things." He says, moving my hair out of my face.
"Thank you..." I smile.
"I've missed you so much." I whisper.
"Lilly, I saw you last night at the fire." He chuckles.
"It's been a lot longer than that, Bray." I mumble.
"What do you mean?" He asks and turns himself to kiss the top of my head.
"I mean this isn't real..." I whisper.
"What?" He asks, taking my hands in his large ones.
"I don't know." I mumble, blushing.
"Want to go out to the woods, talk about it there?" He asks.
"I honestly don't know if I can-" I begin.
"Cmon." He cuts me off, laughing.
He stands up and pulls me with him.
I look up at him, me merely at his shoulders.
"Good. I'm still taller." He laughs and I have to too.
"And you still have a bit to grow. In awhile I'll be right here on you." I poke his arm right below his armpit.
"It's going to be difficult to kiss you there." He blushes and flips his hair again.
I smile wildly at him, and he does the same.
"C'mere-" he starts, wrapping me into his body for a hug.
"Can you guys not start making out in here?" Julian yells.
