The Key

Chapter 9 Dr. Phil or Dr. Dallas?¿

Nash's POV

I sat on the floor as Lily tried to change the subject of what just happened. Well almost happened. She had just told him how she fell and he smirked at me as I rolled my eyes. "What made you run down the stairs so fast?"He asked taking the place I was originally sitting.

Really bro. I laid back down in defeat and frustration. I almost kissed her. Would we have got to if Shawn didn't walk in? I heard Lily laugh at something Shawn had said to her. Im the only one who should be doing that.

"Well, now that your awake, you must be hungry."He said. I heard the bed shift and guessed he had gotten off the bed. Clever little bastard using food to make him appealing to her. "Food sounds great actually."She said uncovering the covers from her self. She looked like she was only wearing a sweatshirt but I remember her wearing spnadex lastnight.

"Do you need help walking? How's your head?"Shawn asked sounding generally concerned. But I feel like that he is also doing it to bother me. We'll see who's laughing when I tell him that I'm goin gon a date with her later today. "I'm good. Let's wake everyone up. I bet they're hungry to after staying in here all night with me."She said looking down in insecurity. By now I had sit up and I'm just watching the scene unfolding infront of me. It was like she forgot that we almost kissed not even ten minutes ago.

Until she turned to me and gave me smile that proved me wrong. "Wanna hlep wake them up?"She said smiling at me a little. There was something missing though. It was her glasses. Without responding I got up and got her glasses of the nightstand and put them on her face. She slightly giggled and yawned. Her nose scrunched up the slightest bit and it was the cutest thing ever. "Thank you."She said sleepily to me.

I smiled back in return and started throwing pillows at everyone while Shawn and Lily did the same. When everyone was awoken they were all kind of pissed at first because of how early it was but instantly became happy once they saw Lily awake and not in bed, but walking around. She was ok.

I took a minute to take in her apperance. Like I said, she was wearing anoversized sweatshirt that covered her spandex and went just above the halfway mark of her thigh. Her long dark hair was all crazy and wavy. But she looked goreous. I don't think anyone can wake up and look that amazing. Roni, Johnson,, Hayes, and Taylor were standing with her talking while everyone else was kind of talking amongst themselves. A hand on my shoulder snapped me out of my transe.

"Hey man."Cameron said. I returned his greeting with a small smile and stole another look at Lily who was listening intently to something Johnson was telling her. "She's ok you know. Perfectly fine."He said. I could see where this conversation was heading. "I know. I'm just happy that she's ok."I said still looking at her. "You know it's no tyour fault. Ot her fault."He added making sure I didn't get the wrong idea.

"I keep telling myself that. So does everyone else. That doesn't mean that I still can't feel bad about it."I said shrugging. "There something else on your mind besides that?"Cam asked looking at me with concern. I hated how he could read me like a book. I was both thankful that I had someone who understood me so well and yet annoyed at thte same fact. "When Lily woke up this morning, the first thing she said was Shawn's name. There was an urgency to her voice. I couldn't really describe it and I don't really think she could if I asked her to. I'm just confused why she said his name."I said slightly dissapointed.

"I get it. You were the one who stayed up all night just so you were the first thing she saw when she woke up and she was expecting Shawn. I'm not saying that because you stayed up, was because you care about her more because that's not true.

I care about her as much as you do.Just in a different way. We have only known her for a week, and look what she's done to you. I bet you haven't even thought about Maia even once."Cameron said. Every one else was now talking with eachother about breakfast ideas and what to do for the last show.
