It was the next morning, after crying for around an hour last night, Saya had left Lilith alone as she headed back into her room.
By it being the weekend, this meant Lilith was allowed to spend all day in bed. Anything to avoid any awkward situations with Marcus. It was currently 10am, Lilith snoring lightly as she hugged her pillow.
Thinking of Alec visiting her made Lilith smile. Until she heard a knock at her door. She groaned as she opened her eyes.
"What has happened? Why am i so famous recently?" She sat up as the knocking continued.
"No seriously... what is with everyone knocking on my door, disturbing me from my sleep."
Lilith sighed again as she jumped out of her bed, walking over to her door as she rubbed her eyes. Opening the door, Lilith rose her eyebrow.
"What do you want Lopez?"
"Hi Lilith."
She rolled her eyes as she leaned her head against her door.
"What do you want?"
"I want to talk."
"I don't. Goodbye." Lilith closes the door when she felt a hand forcing the door to stay open.
"Marcus fuck off. Shoo."
Marcus sighed, shaking his head.
"No Lili."
"Only my friends get to call me that Mr.Arguello." Lilith smirked as she looked at the boy in the eyes.
"Lilith!"
Looking away from Marcus's eyes, Lilith saw Billy behind the boy, panting as he leaned forward.
"Billy? You okay?" Lilith questioned. Billy held his hand up, allowing himself to recover from his sudden use of energy from running down the halls.
"Okay... i came here to ask if you wanted to hang out for the day... outside of this place?"
Lilith nodded before looking at Marcus. She shrugged her shoulders at the boy as he turned around to face Billy.
"Me and Lilith were going to have a quick chat Billy."
"That can wait my dear old Marcus. I would like to hang out with my best friend." Billy winked at a Marcus, patting him on the shoulder.
"I'll meet you outside in ten."
The boy walked away, waving at the two as Lilith looked back at Marcus, a sad look sprawled across his face.
Leaning forward, Lilith gently slapped the boys face. "Cheer up Arguello. If you still urgently want to speak to me, I'll meet you at the graveyard."
Marcus nodded.
Lilith nodded her head too, closing the door as Marcus took his hand off her door, walking down the hall.
As she closed the door, Lilith leaned her back against her door as she took a deep sigh.
"Boys man."

Leaning against the wall outside the Chinese restaurant, Billy noticed Lilith walking out. She smiled at her best friend, Billy no longer leaning his back against the wall, the two making their way down the streets of San Francisco.
"So... did i save your ass back there?"
"You sure did Billy. Thank you." Billy smiled as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into a side hug as they turned the corner.
"Where are we go?" Lilith asked, looking up to Billy.
"I thought i would treat you."
"To what?"
Billy smiled.
"Well before Alec left, me and him spoke abit."
"Okay..." Lilith grew confused.
"Well he told me where he was staying..."
"Wait what?" Lilith's eyes widened.
"Yeah... he told me where he was staying."
"And Tiana?"
Billy nodded. Lilith wrapped her arms around the green haired boy, taken him off guard as they stood in the middle of the pavement.
"What about Jason? They've got to be careful." Lilith leaned her head back to look up at Billy, the two pulling apart from eachother.
"They said their fine."
"Still Billy. That son of a bitch is dangerous. Unpredictable even." Lilith sighed as she thought back to the day that changed her life forever.
"Hey Lilith."
Billy clicked his fingers in front of her Lilith's face, bringing her out of her thoughts. She shook her head as she looked into his eyes.
"You still with me?"
Lilith nodded.
"Good, now come on. It ain't that far."

Lilith heard distant shouting as Billy directed her into a building. Looking around her, she saw a restaurant just like the one that hid King's Dominion away from the public.
She felt eyes staring at her as she looked to her right. There stood a man, that Lilith couldn't figure out where she had seen him before.
Dismissing it, Lilith followed Billy, heading to the kitchen in the back of the restaurant. Lilith grew confused as this was the same way she would go to get into Kings Dominion.
But this wasn't Kings Dominion.
As she followed Billy into what Lilith thought was the storage room, she felt a warm air overcome her. Walking down the stairs, still following Billy, Lilith noticed, just like Kings Dominion, this was a secret area.
Reaching the final step, Lilith looked forward to see two people standing infront of a punching bag; several rooms branching off from the room she had just entered.
"Alec! No! You're doing it all wrong." The girl shouted at the boy, as she demonstrated how to use a blowgun.
Billy looked behind at Lilith, before he fell back into one of the sofas that surrounded the room. Lilith stayed in place as she continued to watch the two. She knew it was brother. But was that Tiana?
"Tiana! I know how to do it!" Alec snapped as he looked forward in the mirror opposite them. He noticed Lilith standing behind him, as he turned around, facing her.
Lilith smiled.
"Tiana. We have company."
The girl turned around, Lilith's eyes beginning to water as she saw her sister standing before her. Tiana's eyes widened as she began to walk forward.
"Hi." Lilith said as she was pulled into a hug by her sister.
Alec walked over to Billy, the two exchanging high-fives, as Alec joined the boy on the sofa.
"Oh I've missed you Lili." Tiana mumbled into Lilith's shoulder as she began to cry. Lilith couldn't hold back her tears as she heard her sister break down.
"You would think they haven't seen eachother in years." Alec mumbled as he looked at Billy.
"I know right."
The two boys laughed, causing Lilith and Tiana to look their way.
"No sarcastic remarks please Alec. This is a precious moment." Alec held his hands up in defence as he moved his hand across his face, pretending to zip his mouth shut.
"If only i could really zip your mouth shut." Lilith laughed at her sisters comment as she pulled out of the girls arms.
———-
"Why did you tell Billy and not me?" Lilith asked. The four were sat around a huge table. Tiana looked at Alec, waiting for him to answer. But he didn't speak.
"Well we weren't supposed to even tell Billy." Tiana finally answered as she flicked Alec's head.
"Ow!"
"Serves you right for not answering."
Alec rolled his eyes at Tiana. Lilith watched as the two bickered, Billy laughing beside her.
"You two have all day to bicker. And you do it now?" Lilith interrupted the two, both now looking back at her. "Why weren't you supposed to tell Billy, let alone me."
"Sam."
"Sam? As in... Uncle Sam?" The two nodded. "He's here too?"
"And you two couldn't bother to visit me sooner, or even get Uncle Sam to visit?" Billy leaned over, grabbing a hold of Lilith's hand, trying to calm her down.
"I don't know Lili."
"Fucking idiot."
"Hey. I didn't call you any names."
Lilith looked up to see Uncle Sam standing in the doorway. Her mouth went agape as she stared at the man.
"I think we broke her." Uncle Sam said as he walked into the room. Billy poked Lilith, but she didn't flinch as she kept her eyes on her uncle.
"Yeah you broke her." Billy said.
