Lily's POV: I opened my eyes finding it hard to adjust my vision. The ceiling was too high. My head hurt and why was the bed so uncomfortable all of a sudden? I looked around and my eyes fell on my bed which was actually far away and I, myself, was on the floor. I quickly sat up which I shouldn't have because sudden dizziness washed over me. For a second, I thought yesterday never happened. For a second, I thought it was all a dream. But it wasn't. Everything was real. I remember getting panicky yesterday. I was so scared and lonely. It was like someone stabbed at the center of my heart. I went over on my bed, brought my knees closer to me and wrapped my arms around them. I didn't want to go downstairs acting like nothing had happened. I couldn't bring myself to do so. I didn't know what to do. I felt so lost. Something inside me felt broken. I was still sitting there when somebody knocked on the door. I didn't reply or move. "Lily. Please open the door." Grandma's warm w

Lily's POV:"So, where did you go yesterday with Stella?" Grandma asked curiously as we sat down for breakfast. I had no appetite but I knew better to have breakfast than add more questions in my already full list.I looked at anything but my grandparents."She said she needed to show me something." I answered. She looked at me for a moment, then nodded. Maybe she was waiting for me to go on but I guess I had nothing to elaborate."That's good. You should hang out with her more often." She said with a smile. I rolled my eyes internally and decided to finish my food as quick as possible. I really need sometime alone. To think."I'd be going to the library in a while. Just wanted to meet Jade." I said.Grandpa nodded without saying anything.Soon when I finished, I headed off to the library. It was still the same from what I remembered. The walls were painted the same peach. And of course, the big brown shelves full of books. My eyes traveled to the desk, just at the left, where my favo

Lily's POV:I was doing my best to find something that could really distract me. For instance, I started taking out and placing the books again in the shelves which gave me an eye roll from Nicole. But I really didn't care what she thought. I wanted this night to end somehow.When all the books were done arranging, I looked around for something else. The event would probably be starting in fifteen minutes now. Nicole was so busy swooning over the people that were coming in, there was no chance she would be a great company. Even for a night.I went over to the farthest shelf, where no one was, and sat down with my back against it. I took out a random book and started rummaging through it's pages. I'm sure Jade would be too busy to even notice me here."You chose a perfect spot." Somebody said from behind me.I looked up in astonishment. I was sure nobody saw me coming. I saw a boy with a handful of books looking at me with a grin. He looked probably taller than me, with tousled blond h

Lily's POV:The first time I woke up, it was around 3 am. I looked around adjusting my vision until I saw who was in front of me. I don't know why, but every limb of mine blew out a sigh in relief when I saw his face. Maybe because a part of me thought that he would go away.But he didn't, which was good.I placed my fingertips on his face before moving them up in his hair, enjoying the feel of it. He furrowed his eyebrows unconsciously as if tensed about something.How can he possibly be tensed about something when he's sleeping?I smiled and snuggled closer into him, placing my head on his chest as he tightened his arms around me. I closed my eyes with the comforting sound of him breathing just beside me.The next time I woke up, it was pretty much the morning. And this time, Ace was all wide awake, tracing small circles on my back. I pulled away a little and looked up at him. He stared back at me, his eyes shining like he just saw something precious."I thought you weren't gonna wa

Ace's POV:"What are you fucking here for?" I shouted at the cowering guard.My head was spinning with anger. If Zack hadn't stopped me, God knows what I would have done to him."Ace, calm down! You aren't going to help things like this." He said pushing me away from the guard.She wasn't there. She wasn't in that room when I got back. Why had I left her alone? Why had I not taken her to a much safer place?"I need to find her. God knows where she would be!" I racked my brain for a solution.The thought of her hurt and alone. That was enough to rise that anger again."Ace, you will find her. Get this all straight, first. This won't be easy, we're handling the biggest gang leader here. At least try to control your anger. It won't help." He said trying to make a point.Anger my foot. Right now all I wanted was to kill that bastard. Shred him into pieces if he even touched her.I won't let that happen."The police is already searching around the area. We will find her." He said moving tow
