Lily POV
After getting through my second panic attack of the day. I got up out of bed slowly and made my way over to my desk to work on schoolwork.
We were all on fall break. It was ending in a few days and I was almost done with my assignments. Well I already finished my work I was just doing a little extra credit. Most people are probably going to wait until the last minute.
I kept working until I finished everything. I really wanted more... It kept the thoughts away, maybe I could hit the library and pick out some new books. I thought to myself. Just then my phone started ringing.
I have everyone's phone numbers assigned to a certain sound. So, to hear the default ringtone was a little weird. I got up and walked over to my nightstand picking up the ringing device.
I held it in my hand and just stared at it. I knew this number. But from where.
The ringing stopped. I would have to ask my brother to run it.
-A Few Hours Later-
I was now standing inside my closet looking for something to wear.
My brother likes to play 'Dress Up'. He likes to pretend that we are someone else.
This time he decided that we are all in a biker gang.
I pulled out a pair of black ripped skinny jeans with a plain white shirt and a leather jacket with black platform boots and a black beanie. This was my lazy outfit. I looked at myself in the mirror.
I lost weight. I should probably weigh myself before I am forced to go to the hospital again. It was not my brother or his friends who would force me, it was nosy teachers and social workers would.
It is not that I am doing it on purpose it just happens sometimes. I heard the car doors shut and walked downstairs.
Mello was the first one in the door and he came right up to me and hugged me, well more so picking me up and holding me like I was a teddy bear.
"Hard day?" I ask. He lets out a big sigh. He gets cuddly when it was a tough day.
Soon my brother and the others came in the door.
"Alright if we're all ready to go, I'm starving!" Ace said. I laughed a bit and we all went outside towards the garage.
"This is my favorite part!" Ethan said, jumping up and down like he won a gold star.
The doors opened slowly and revealed four motorcycles.
One for my brother, One for Mello, One for Ace, and one for Alec.
My stomach formed knots when I heard that name... He promised me so much and then disappeared on a work trip and never called back.
They all got on a bike and I got on the back of Mello's bike. Ethan revved the engine.
'Ready to go?" He yelled over the noise. I clutched on the back of Mello's jacket because I already know what was going to happen.
He zoomed off. Always one for a thrill.
I had my eyes closed just enjoying the wind on my face as we ride by. I drowned out all the sounds except the rushing sound of the wind.
Everything good always ends. We stopped and got off.
I looked up at the building and it was a little mom and pop diner, they had the best food though.
Our little 'gang' looked so bad. I tried to contain my laughter.
Mello was the tallest of them all and looked so intimidating and then Ethan and Ace were arguing about something. Mello took my hand and walked us to the entrance.
Mello always seemed like the tough guy, but he was just a big marshmallow. Soft and squishy.
The moment we all walked in; eyes were on us. Some looked terrified and put their heads down. Mello put his arm around me, and we walked over to an empty booth.
We all sat down, and a waitress walked over to us. She seemed nice, she had blonde hair with blue eyes.
"Hello, welcome to Mama Mia's, my name is Lexi. Can I start you all off with something to drink?" She asked, a little too chipper if you ask me.
"Yea, I'll just have a water." I started out.
"I'll have a Pepsi." Said Ethan and the other two agreed as well. She lingered her eyes on Mello. He just kept looking at his menu. Not giving her the time of day.
"What looks good?" Ace asked. I shook my head.
"I'm not hungry." I said quietly. They all knew what that meant. It was not something that I did on purpose.
"Well you're getting something." Mello said. I smiled. Soon Lexi came back with our drinks. Handing them out. I was sitting on the outside, so she reached over so her chest was a bit in Mello's face. He looked annoyed.
"Are we all ready to order?" She asked.
"I'll have the chicken noodle soup with a side of bread." I started out.
I'll have the baked chicken with vegetables." Ethan said, flipping his menu over to look at the dessert.
"I'll have a cheeseburger and fries." Ace said.
"I'll have the soup too." Mello said putting his arm around me, pulling me close to him. I do not think she got the memo. She smiled.
"Coming right up." She said and walked away.
"I swear... She comes back and tries that again. I'm throwing you at her Ethan." Mello said and we all started laughing.
"Why Me!? Lily is closer!" He stated, he probably sounded like a two-year-old wanting to buy some candy.
"You really think I would throw my princess?" He said in a deep tone.
"This chocolate cake looks good. We could get some before we leave." Ethan said changing the subject.
"Oh! I almost forgot to tell you guys. I received a phone call from a number I did not recognize. I didn't answer it and they didn't leave a message." I said.
"Do you have your phone?" Ace asked. I nodded and handed it over to him.
He took it and looked at the number. His eyes got wide and then showed it to Ethan and then to Mello. I was so confused. He handed it back to me.
"Next time that number calls you, answer it. We'll be able to trace the call." He said. That made me a little more nervous. Mello squeezed my shoulder. I laid my head down and waited for our food. Not participating in the conversation.
"Here we are, two chicken noodle soups, A cheeseburger with fries, and baked chicken with vegetables." Lexi said and stood there for a second.
"Hope you all enjoy." She said, winking and then walked away. Mello looked at Ethan.
"You are so lucky she didn't stay a second longer." He said and I could not help but laugh.
We all started eating. This soup was good.
We talked a little about what we would be doing the rest of the week.
"I don't have any more work to do, I was going to clean a bit and maybe head to the bookstore to pick some new things up." I said.
"That sounds really nice, what I wouldn't do for a 'sleep over'." Ace said. I nodded in agreement.
We had this big sectional and a flat screen TV where we would all get comfortable and watch movies together. We have not done that in a long time so it would be nice.
"Why don't we plan one? You guys have a break soon, too right?" I asked. My brother and his friends worked for the dark side of the police force. They would deliver guns and such to other cops as well as other higher ups.
"That's right we do! Let us figure out what we want to watch and get some snacks and stuff!" Ethan said. I think he was the most excited about this whole more then anyone else.
The rest of the time we just sat and ate and chatted a bit. When we were done, we flagged down the waitress for our check.
She brought it over and we paid, and we noticed she wrote her number down and had a co-worker give it to Mello. He stared at her and said he did not want it.
We got up and left making our way back home. Once we were there, we got off parking all the bikes and closing the garage and locking it. When we got inside, we all went to our rooms.
I quickly got in the shower and threw one of Ethan's old t shirts on and some clean panties making my way downstairs to find a snack.
"Come sleep with me tonight princess?" I heard a voice ask. I jumped a little turning around to see Mello sitting in the chair.
"I will. I just want a snack." I said and turned around again only to be lifted and thrown over Mello's shoulder going to his room. We passed Ethan on the way. I just giggled and waved. He shook his head.
Once we got in Mello's room, I crawled in his bed taking the side closest to the wall and getting under the blankets. I snuggled under. Mello came over in just a t-shirt and boxers. He handed me something.
It was a chocolate bar. I smiled and thanked him, we watched TV until I fell asleep. Then I felt him pull me a little closer and that is how I went to sleep.
It was nice not having a nightmare. Getting a peaceful rest.
