Lilith stirred awake as she heard multiple voices around her. "How did this happen Billy? Petra and Lilith could have died!" Lilith mentally took a deep breathe of relief as Petra did not die from her wound.
The last thing Lilith remembered from detention was Marcus leaving her as him and Saya left through the vent in the corner of the room, leaving Lilith to collapse around and continue to bleed out alongside Viktor and Petra.
"I don't know Lex! Marcus didn't tell me when we walked up here before he then walked off to go find Saya." Lilith felt her heart drop, he wasn't here? He wasn't here to see if her or Petra were okay. "How do we know she'll even wake up?" Lilith heard Billy continue to say as she moved her head the slightest, making sure the twos boys didn't see.
"Because," Lilith began to speak as she opened her eyes to see the two boys either side of her bed. "I'm too much of a pain in the arse to leave you guys yet." Billy laughed as Lex took a deep breathe.
Lilith looked at Billy, noticing that the boy had multiple bruises and cuts around his face, his eye swollen shut. Lilith began to open her mouth ready to question what had happened to Billy, but the boy quickly shut her down as he shook his head.
"Where's Petra?" Lilith tried to lean herself up but felt Lex's hand push her back down. "easy now love, she's fine, we've spoken with her." Lilith nodded her head as she scanned the room, some beds filled with monks of whom were attacked during the invasion. "And Viktor?" Lilith asked again, gaining a nod of the head from the two boys.
"He's fine." Was all Billy said as she squinted her eyes towards him, "really Lilith, he's fine, everyone's fine."
"Everyone but Tyler." Lilith hit back as the two boys looked at eachother. "Don't get me wrong, i didn't like the kid, but being thrown back and left to die by Chico. No one deserves that." Lex nodded his head as he grabbed a hold of her hand.
"Well atleast you're here and well." Billy held her other hand in his. Lilith smiled at the two boys as her attention was quickly drawn to the door of the medical room, revealing Marcus running through the door.
"Took your time." Marcus smiled slightly as a guilty look sprawled across his face. "Why do you look so guilty Arguello?" Lilith rose her eyebrow at the boy as avoided her eye contact.
"Atleast look at me Marcus. I'm not dead." Lilith demanded to the boy, making him look up at her. "Let's try this again, why do you have that guilty look?" Lilith persisted as Marcus looked away from the girl, staring down at his hands.
"Whatever Marcus, can you leave? We can speak later." Lilith smiled as let go off Billy and Lex's hands of which she was still holding, her now free hands going to grip the bedcovers, pulling them to the side.
"Lilit-"
"Save it Marcus. Like i said, we will speak later." Lilith interrupted the boy as she leaned herself forward, swinging her legs off the side of the bed. "Now if you excuse me, i would like to go a smoke a cigarette."
"Lilith you still need to rest." Lilith snapped her head towards Marcus, Lex's eyes widening. Lilith put her hand up to Marcus as she grabbed her jacket that Billy had brought for her, putting her arms into it as she placed it around her back. Lilith then leaned down to grab her boots, before quickly putting them up and placing them on her feet, tying the laces in the process.
"Marcus stop." Lex spoke up as he looked over to Billy, subtly nodding his head to the girl. Lex caught the attention of the green haired boy as Lex brought his hand up pointing at Lilith before pointing at his own eyes. Billy nodded his head as he looked over to Lilith to see in fact that her eyes had begun to darken.
"Do you want me to come with you love?" Lex asked the girl as she turned around to face the three boys, shaking her head.
"I need time alone please." Lex nodded his head as Lilith began to walk away from the boys and towards the exit. "I'll see you later?" Lilith put her thumbs up at Marcus's question as she walked out of the room.
"Dude what the fuck did you do? Where have you been?" Lex raised his voice as Marcus as he crossed his arms across his chest. Marcus shook his head as he raised his arms up in defence. "Nothing." Marcus replied bluntly as he looked over to Billy, him too looking annoyed.
"Well why did you run off? Just by seeing Lilith's face she was disappointed that you." Billy walked over to Marcus pointing his finger, placing it against his chest. "weren't waiting for her to wake up." Billy continued as he shook his head at Marcus, making the boy look down.
"Go talk to her Marcus." Marcus rose his head again to look at Billy before shaking his head. "You heard what she said." It was Lex's turn to shake his head as he patted Marcus on the shoulder.
"Oh Marcus, Marcus." Lex's British accent shining through as he said the boy's name. "See that's where you are wrong." Marcus rose his eyebrow at the briton's comment, "you need to go speak to her now." Billy chimed in as he pointed towards the door.
"Go Marcus. Don't fuck this up." Marcus nodded his head as he gently punched the two boys as he turned around to walk towards the door. "Fingers crosses Marcus!" Lex shouted as Marcus walked out for the door to go make amends with the girl he liked.

It was quiet on the graveyard as Lilith watched the sun disappear behind the multiple buildings that made up the city of San Francisco. The girl sighed as she brought her cigarette to her mouth.
Lilith didn't hear the footsteps that were coming from behind her till she felt a hand on her shoulder. As a reflex, Lilith grabbed the hand pulling it off her shoulder, twisting the hand around.
"Ow Lilith!" The girl let go of the hand as she took a deep breathe as Billy hit the girl lightly. "Good to know you've still got a good grip." Lilith laughed as Billy joined the girl, as the two watched the city around them.
"Have you seen Marcus?" Lilith looked at Billy as she rose her eyebrow. "No why would I?" Lilith heard Billy mumble to himself as he shook his head.
"Does that kid ever listen? I told his ass to come here and speak to you." Lilith smiled as she leaned her head against the green haired boy's shoulder. "It's okay Billy."
"No Lilith it is not." Lilith grabbed Billy's hand placing it in hers as she continued to look forward. "Enough about me Billy." Lilith spoke as she moved her thumb moving it up and down his.
Lilith leaned her head off the boy's shoulder as she studied Billy's face. Lilith lifted her other hand that was not in Billy's to touch his bruised lip.
"Billy why didn't you tell me what happened when i was going to ask you earlier?" The boy shook his head as he squeezed their intertwined hands gently. "Did you go home?" He slowly nodded his head as he looked down.
"Oh Billy," Lilith took her hand out of Billy's to allow her to wrap her arms around him, bringing him into a warm hug. "What happened?" Lilith asked as she continued to hug the boy, him hugging in return.
"I had to go home." Billy was the first one to pull out of the hug as he looked into Lilith's eyes. Lilith studied his face one more as she looked at his swollen eye, before looking into his eye that was not swollen.
"Teddy?" Lilith asked as Billy nodded his head. "You know how my dad is." Lilith nodded as he took her hand in his again, her mind making her remember the times where she has had to comfort a crying Billy everytime he came back from visiting home, or whenever he mentioned his abusive dad.
"Billy it's okay you don't have to say anyrhing." He shook his head as he continued to look into her eyes. "I need to say it." Lilith smiled as he looked into his eyes, squeezing his hand as a sense of comfort.
"So when you got taken to detention, Teddy called." Billy started as he took a deep breath. "He has called to say that some creeps were continuing to come around the house and he was scared." Taking a deep breath, Lilith nodded as she listened to the story.
"So i went home." Lilith heard the boy sniffle as he used his free hand, pulling his top sleeve around his hand as he itches his nose.
"And guess what?" Lilith rose her eyebrow as she waited for Billy to answer his own question. "That fucker has now in another crew, putting us in more dead that fucker."
Lilith once again remembered to the time where she first melt Billy's vulnerable side. Lilith was sat in her room, it was her first year and she had known Lex, Billy and Petra for just over a week when she heard a knock on her door. Before the girl could open her door, Billy entered, tears falling down his face. Lilith hadn't known the boy long but her heart broke to see such a vulnerable side to the jokey and upbeat boy.
Lilith had immediately called Billy over to her bed, engulfing him into a big hug as he told her about how he visited home. His brother just like this time, had called Billy to say that people were around the house and he didn't feel safe. Lilith found out that the only reason Billy was at King's dominion so that the Mafia could train him up as a way for his dad to be able to pay off the debt he owed them.
Back to the present day, Lilith got out of her thoughts, as she continued to listen to Billy. "So you know what i did next?"
"You called him out i hope?" Billy once again nodded his head as a sniffle was heard from him as Lilith noticed his eyes began to grow distant as he remembered the events that had occurred the night before.
"I did, but as usual, he went nuts, absolutely mental he went." Lilith shook her head as she didn't want to imagine what was going to happen next.
"I didn't want to fight or have an argument, so i managed to get some of my shit i brought to come back here." Billy took another deep breath as he sniffled once more. "But it's never that simple, the fucker follows me down the hallway, stalking me even, not letting me leave his sight as he pushed me."
Lilith began to feel her eyes water as she shook her head once again as her mind kept wanting her to imagine what was going to happen next, but she didn't want to imagine, it would break her too much, the visual picture of Billy's face upsetting her enough.
"As he pushed me against the wall, banging my head he shouted at me." Lilith felt Billy's hand leave hers as he lifted up his arm, "turn your back on me sonny boy? Little Lord Fauntleroy coming home from private school to judge me?" Billy spoke as he impersonated his dad as he began to point behind Lilith to show what exactly what he was doing and acting.
"Bitch and moan that's all you ever do." Billy added on, the same accent being heard throughout the empty graveyard. "Just another victim!" Billy exclaimed, as Lilith looked down, tears threatening her eyes once again.
"After all his bullshit shouting, he goes red in the face. I see him, standing in front of the doorway of the entrance to my home, not allowing me to leave." Lilith shook her head at what she knew was going to happen next, of which would explain the new bruises and cuts on Billy's face.
"My mum gets in the way. Tries to stop him." He shook his head as he looked down, his voice beginning to crack.
"Gene stop it!" Billy now said in a higher pitched voice to show his mum speaker in this situation. "But just like he did with me, he threw her into the same wall in threw me, you know cause that's normal."
Tears left Lilith's face as she saw Billy's eyes watering, his own tears threatening to leave his own eyes. "Family photos thrown around, falling off the walls, it became even more of a mess." The sound of Billy sniffling as his breathing grew heavy.
"You can cry Billy." Lilith's own voice became croaky and cracking as tears flooded down her face. "Me being me, thought i could take on Gene. but -"
"But Genes a big man." Lilith finished his sentence as she looked back into the even more vulnerable boys eyes. "So big Gene climbed on top of me and did this." Billy moved his hand around his half face, causing Lilith to shake her head in anger.
"Since last time, he's invested in new rings. Golden ones even." Lilith looked at Billy's swollen eyes as she saw ring cut marks above his eyebrow. "I managed to get on top of him, thought i could beat the shit out him a bit." Lilith smiled as she nodded her head at the boy, causing a faint smile to crawl upon his face, lifting the sides of his mouth upwards.
"But you couldn't." Lilith spoke up, "you couldn't hurt him, cause you're not like him Billy. You don't like to harm people unlike Gene." Lilith placed her hand on his shoulder, rubbing it up and down.
"But why is that Lilith? This guy is a monster." Billy hit back as she shrugged her shoulders. "Because you still love him, because he is your dad." Lilith engulfed Billy into another hug before he pulled away quickly after allowing a few tears to fall from his eyes. Lilith's tears just pouring themselves out of her eyes and down her face.
"So I've made a plan." Lilith wiped her eyes quickly as she nodded at the boy for him to say his new plan. "As we know, mum and Teddy aren't going to survive dad." Lilith nodded as she continued to look at Billy.
"We are taking a road trip." Lilith rose her eyebrow as she looked taken aback. "We? Me and you? To do what exactly Billy? Kill your dad?"
"Yes. That's exactly it." Her eyes grew wide as she took in Billy's response. "I'm in." Lilith took Billy's hand in hers as she shook them gently. "But whose we?"
"Me." Lilith jumped at the sound of Marcus's voice from behind her and Billy.
"You?" Lilith spoke up as she looked at Marcus before looking back at Billy. "The group that got Marcus back here." Lilith nodded her head. So, Saya, Maria and Willie were joining the road trip. Saya. Lilith lifted her head as she looked at Marcus, smirking.
Marcus grew worried as to why Lilith was smirking at him, as he noticed a sense of evil behind it. "So Marcus." Lilith patted the space next to her. "Come sit."
"I think I'll leave you two." Billy spoke as he sat up. "No Billy wait." Lilith patted the space next to her for Marcus as she got up to look at Billy of whom towered over her just like everyone else.
"Whatever you want to do lovely, i'm there 100%, there all the way. I just don't want to do anything crazy. So when you think this properly to yourself and only yourself." Lilith nodded at the boy, him nodding him return. "Once you've thought about with yourself and you're still 100% then we will go. If there's any doubt. Then no okay?" Billy nodded his head once again as he pulled Lilith into a hug, kissing her on top of the head.
"Thank you Lilith." Lilith smiled as she pulled away from the green haired boy. "I will see you later." Billy spoke as he waved to Lilith and Marcus, leaving the two alone in the graveyard.
"So Marcus, as i was saying." Lilith smirked as she sat down next to Marcus, turning her whole body to see him properly. "Anything you would like to admit to?"
"Like what?" Marcus questioned the girl as he leaned back, his body resting against his two hands that were ahold of the wall.
"Oh i don't know," Lilith placed her fingers around her chin, "School? Me? Saya? School?" Lilith continued to smirk as Marcus shook his head.
"I'm going to be honest with you Lilith." Marcus spoke up as he leaned himself forward, making the distance between him and the girl only a few inches away from one another.
"Me and Saya did have a moment yesterday, only a touch of the hands thats it. We only held each others hands." Lilith opened her mouth as she nodded her head, a sound of 'oh' escaping her mouth.
"Okay." Lilith shrugged her shoulders as she stood herself up from the wall, wanting to leave this awkward conversation between herself and her boyfriend.
"Lilith." As the girl began to walk away, Marcus grabbed her hand, pulling her back. "I'm sorry. That's all it was. Just a held of each others hands." Lilith nodded as she left go off his hand.
"I heard got the first time." Lilith smiled as she began to walk over to the exit of the graveyard. "Great chat Arguello. See you soon." Lilith turned around to blow a kiss towards Marcus, leaving the boy confused.
As Lilith walked to the stairs, she began to feel a sense of sadness overwhelm her. Lilith began to sniffle as she shook her head, not wanting to cry anymore than she has for the last few years. "Lilith." The girl once again jumped at the sound of Marcus behind her as he pushed her against the wall, looking straight into her eyes.
"I said I'm sorry." Lilith held the eye contact as she rose an eyebrow. "I heard." She smiled sarcastically.
Before she knew it, Marcus had collided his lips against hers as Lilith stood shocked. It didn't take long however for the girl to kiss back her boyfriend as she wrapped her hands around his neck, his hand lifting her head gently.
"Apology accepted Arguello." Lilith spoke as she pulled away from the kiss. Lilith smiled as she grabbed Marcus's hand, pulling them down the stairs. "Where are we going?" The boy asked the girl.
"I want to sleep, i'm tired. And you need to sleep too. You need some beauty sleep." Marcus fake gasped at Lilith laughed at the boy as they made her way to her room.
