Here’s chapter 1, enjoy! ^^

------------------------------------

Lilly:

Lilly slipped on a T-shirt and jeans and brushed her long, black hair. She walked over to the kitchen and grabbed a piece of toast, quietly pondering what it would be like to actually have Sam kiss her, the excitement beginning to grow inside of her. She sat down at the table next to her mom. Her once eerie silence after her father's death no longer a distraction.

Lilly finished eating and threw her trash away, her face remaining a neutral emotion as she tried to hide her hopefulness from the quick judgment of her mom. She walked over to a nice, brown, leather chair. She placed both of her knees on it and looked over it, staring out the window, her arms supporting her pale-colored chin. She did this often when she pondered something, it helped relax her somehow. She lived in a quiet and, well, rather empty, neighborhood, so not much happened there.

The boy:

The boy continued to walk through the quiet streets, having no clue where to go or what to do. He looked around as he walked, observing nature and it’s beauty, and brushing his brown bangs that hung over his eyes, only to have them fall back into place. Birds were flying around, and the sun was about midway between noon and sunrise, causing the light to shine on him through the trees. It was beautiful and magnificent, like something out of a fairy tale about a wondrous land, far, far away.

But, one thought always passed through his head; who am I? He asked himself for the countless time. This thought clouded his vision from the beauty of nature, and he just looked ahead toward the mysterious distance. Eventually, his head turned to the right, spying a girl in the window.

Both:

Lilly spied a boy on the sidewalk. She was stunned; no one lived here except for them. Excited, she quickly ran outside and greeted him. “Hello there, I’m Lilly.” She said, sticking out her hand, excitement of finding someone to talk to clouding the warnings of possible danger shooting through her head.

The boy was stunned as well, he didn’t expect to be greeted by such an energetic and, well, attractive girl. He shook her hand happily, when the thought flashed through his mind again.

“What’s your name?” she asked, curiosity in her sky blue eyes.

The boy froze, What is my name? What is my name? He asked himself, worried.

“Well?” She said, pushing him to tell her.

He stuttered for a moment before saying, “I, uh… well, I don’t really know…” His hand dropped to his side, disappointment in his eyes as he gazed toward the ground.

“Don’t know? Do you have amnesia or something?” She asked, this time more seriously, but still partly joking.

“I’m not sure… do I?” He asked, as much disappointment in his voice as in his gaze.

She felt a strange connection to the boy, like he was just as confused as her. She turned around and looked up at the tree in her backyard, eyeing the tree house her dad had helped her build. Her mom would never check in there again, in fear of breaking down. She turned back around at him and said “Well, you’re welcome to stay in the tree house if you have no where to go.” A smile grew on her face as she anticipated the answer.

The boy looked up at her, shocked. “Do you really mean it?” He asked, excitement returning to his voice and his vision.

“Sure” She said, happy she could make a friend “But you can’t let my mom see you, she wouldn’t let a boy stay with us for anything. It just reminds her of what happened…” She trailed off, lost in the memories of her father.

“You ok?” The boy asked, now worried for Lilly’s safety since she so selflessly let him live with her.

She returned to gaze at him, memories fading, and said “Yea, it’s just kinda sad, what happened to my father…” She trailed off again, the memories returning.

As soon as she said the words, ‘what happened to my father,’ images flashed through the boy’s head. He held his head, trying to stop it from busting. He fell to the ground, holding his head and closing his eyes, trying to block out these sudden images from flashing through his mind. Suddenly, his head cleared, and he fell unconscious.

When the boy fell, Lilly quickly and worriedly bent down and picked him up. She didn't want to lose her only chance of making a friend, so she would help him through whatever was happening. She began dragging him over to the tree house, and set him down behind the tree where, even if her mom had stepped outside, she wouldn’t see him. She walked back inside, pretending that nothing happened and saying nothing to her mom. She grabbed a cloth and dampened it in the sink, making it nice and cool. She walked back outside to the boy, placing the cloth on his head as he lie on the grass at the base of the tree. She sat there and waited for him to awake, wondering what could have happened. A thought then entered her mind, 'What if he forgets me when he wakes up? What if this will happen all the time?' worry came into her gaze on the boy as he laid there, unconscious.

Sorry if the ending is incredibly cheesy, I don’t think I’m very good at this.
