Fragile Future *shadowpook and I*

Lilly sniffed "Can we go back to mine though?"

Charlie smirked and nodded. "Come on." she pulled Lily to her feet and helped her begin to walk

Lilly ent ith her, head down.

Gerard paced.

Shayne sighed "Charlie'll be fine Gee"

Charlie kept walking up the stree in teh direction of teh house

When tehy got to the doro Lilly leant on the side of the porch and looked don.

Charlie left her there and went in. "Gerard? WHy are you paciing>?"

"i was orried, I dont like seeing you angry"

Lilly sat on the porch, not knowing whatto do.

"You shouldn't annoy me then." said Charlie practically

Gerard grimaced "You Ok?"

"Better then Lily."

Shayen looked up "You found Lilly?!"

"She's outside." whispered Charlie casting her eyes down. Lilys shaking form was implanted in her memory. She knew exacly what had happened to lily.

Shayne jumped to hsi feet.

Instinctively gerard knew this wasn't a good idea "Maybe you houldnt see her yet"

"Shayne, she's in a state, adn she's embarresed. Let me get ehr cleaned up a little and make sure she feels safe before you see her. Right now, i think i'm the only one she trusts."

Shayne wa reluctant but sat back don.

Charlie left again. She glanced at Gerard as she passed,. her eyes were dead, aviod of emotion. SHe walke dout and ove rto Lily.

Gerard sighed, but needed to make sure hayne didn't get any ideas.

Lilly just sat there, staring at the floor.

"lily?" said Chrlie gently, kneeling next to her. "You can coem in now. You can have a shower, cry, eat, have a nap, anything you want. And i promise no one but me will see you before you want them too."

Lilly nodded, she'd just about cried out the last of any feeling she'd had. She felt completely dead inside, as if she as just existing.

"come on. It getting cold." she said pulling her inside. She walked ahead."get out of this room." she hissed

"But this is MY room!" proteted Shayne.

Lilly froze at the sound of her brothers voice and considered running

Charlie bobbed out for a minute and reassured Lily before coming back. "I dont know any otehr of the rooms, and your siter just got raped and need a bed to collapse in. So deal and clear out!"

Shayne grumbled "And with the shit I go through I deerve my room to myself" he muttered going out.

Gerard followed.

Lilly shrank back until they'd gone.

"I'm sorry, but this i the only room i know." said Charlie. She had stood infrotn of lily as tehy had passed. SHe gently tried to get her to come to teh room

Lilly followed barely responding.
