text: Whisp O Bad Girl Father's Puppet Just another story. 
   
   
   Family reunion 
   "She's outside!" 
     
   "What the hell do you mean she's outside!?" 
     
   "She's been out there for a while!"  
     
   "With who!?" 
     
   "I don't know! I went to ask her if she'd like to just talk over some tea, or something...but it's not my place to yell at her, I can't." 
     
   "Lilly!?" 
     
   The door slammed.  The brunete was soaking wet and her stocks were no longer at her knees they were rolled down to her ankles.  Those brown eyes peering into their soals.  "What in the hell are you wearing Lilly!?" 
     
   "A skirt Dad, or was a skirt," I patted my wet skirt a little.  "You snuck out of the house should we discuss this now or tomorrow morning?" 
     
   "How about never?" I sighed.  "Come on Lilly, this isn't like you." 
     
   "Look, maybe I just didn't want to have a tea party with my step mom.  Maybe I wanted to go and take...a walk." 
     
   "Really? A walk gets you half dressed on your way back?" 
     
   "I'm not half dressed," I buttoned the rest of the way of my shirt.  "See, and plus it's raining...and cold outside, why would I be half dressed? I'm literally gasping for breath right now!" 
     
   "Well..." 
     
   "Anyways, I'm tired, may I go upstairs and get some sleep? Or would you like to keep me down here explaining my next reason to why I didn't want to have tea?" 
     
   "No, just go upstairs...we will talk later." 
     
   Jay just kept staring me down.  She is tall, black hair, and very pale.  My mansion life is complicated, my Father is usually gone on business trips all the time, my step mother usually has work at the chinease restarant so she spends lots of time with her family rather than coming home and seeing my face.   
     
   My mother ran off when I was two, so I don't have memories of her.  Although I've heard stories that she's a powerful busniess woman, and that Daddy was just a fling.  She had her affair, had me, then left me after realizing what mistake she made, and my older brothers, well half brothers, is what she wanted, along with her husband, so I was just the mishap.   
     
   I had this boy who wanted me to just go as the girlfriend so that his parents would stop fighting, well of course I went, and let me tell ya about how I ended up walking home in the rain. 
     
   "Mom, this is Lilly." 
     
   I wore a cute skirt, since I didn't know how to do my hair, well it was just the way it was, straight and a bit curly on the ends.  I had good grades, popular in school, everything was perfect I suppose.  Everything but one thing was missing in my life. 
     
   This woman stared at me like I was some cheap thing off the street.  "Right...well this is awkward." 
     
   "What's your last name?" 
     
   "I don't really feel comfortable telling you that," I stepped back because she was getting in my space.  "Here, this is for you," I handed her a bottle of wine, very expensive wine.  "Where did you get this?" 
     
   "My father goes around the world, and brings back things that he thinks I'll want, well this was his recent gift and since I'm fifteen I can't drink it, so it's all yours, enjoy." 
     
   Benny pulled me to the dinner table, "your making yourself look bad." 
     
   "Huh? Look we fucked one night, and you paid me to come here, you just want a girlfriend for a night, remember?" He sighed.  "I'm not perfect dude, but this is what you get for lying to your family." 
     
   He sounded so chippered while talking to his parents then the questions started.  "Tell me Lilly, what exactly does your Father do?" 
     
   "Uh things...he does things." 
     
   "Oh, your very pretty for a teen, I'm surprised your not a model." 
     
   "No my Father doesn't approve of things like that." She was biting at me.  Then his Father smiled and asked me the next question.  "Where do you see yourself in ten years?" 
     
   "Ten years? Well I want to be a doctor," I crossed my arms.  "You want to be a doctor?" 
     
   She was peering into my head, I kicked Benny.  "Uh mom, how about desert?" 
     
   Jack smiled at Lilly, "well if you ever want my number you can have it." 
     
   I gave one look to him and his eyes backed away from staring at my chest, "your brother is perverted Benny, I think an extra fifty will do," I whispered to him making his cheeks turn bright red.  "So I guess it's my turn, what is it you do for a living?" She blinked a few times.  "My dear have you been living in the dark ages? Do you not know who I am?" 
     
   I looked to Ben, "no...course not, it's not like I fill my head with silly tv stories, I like reading books." 
     
   "Well bookworm.  I am a CEO of seven different cities." 
     
   "CEO..." 
     
   "Yes." 
     
   "You must be busy."  
     
   "I am, but I take my time for my boys and husband." 
     
   "Oh..." 
     
   "You must have a lovely family back home.  Do you do chearleading?" 
     
   "I used to." 
     
   Ben glanced at me to make sure I was okay.  "So you are how old?" 
     
   "Fifteen, I just turned a couple weeks..." I stopped talking and started poking my food.  "Your mother should be proud," his Father happily smiled.  "She's dead," I stood up, "excuse me, I'm not feeling so well." 
     
   "Was it something I said? I apologize." 
     
   "No, no, I just need to use the restroom." 
     
   "Oh well it's the second door to the right." 
     
   Ben showed me to it, then he left me.  I came back to the table and I sat down and stared at the food.  "May I ask what happened?" 
     
   "Oh right," I glanced back up at the man and woman then their perverted youngest son.  "Well...I guess she didn't want me, and then she got hit by a car.  Several cars." 
     
   "A car?" 
     
   "Yes." I heard someone drop their fork, and the room went very quiet.  "Tell me little girl, how long have you been with my son?" 
     
   "For a week," her eyes kept staring at me, and then she gasped a little.  "Did you always have that birth mark on your chin?" 
     
   "Uh yes," I glanced at Ben then the time, "I got to go Ben, thanks for letting me meet your family, they were...too kind." 
     
   "Yes I find that every girl I bring home says that." 
     
   "No kidding?" 
     
   "Nope.  How about I give you a ride home?" 
     
   "N-no, I'm good." 
     
   "It's raining dear, I think you should wait." 
     
   He looked over at his mother, surprised of how nice she was.  "No, I really need to get home," Lilly waved it off.  "Your barely touched your food." 
     
   "I'm just going to eat something at home, no offense to your food.  I'm just feeling ill right now." 
     
   "Well walking in the rain isn't going to help in any way." 
     
   "Walking in the rain may get me sick, but it helps me think." 
     
   Awkwardly I managed to get out of the room without answering anymore questions, or allowing someone to take me home which leaves me off at getting yelled at and grounded.   
     
   I raised my poms in cheer, everyone was so happy and they were already to watch the football guys play in the mud.  Jason, my ex, decided it would be funny to pick me up and toss me to another guy and that's what made me feel more sick, the teacher had them put me down, and I excused myself again.  He's just messing with me now... 
     
   My outfit felt a little more tighter on me than I remember.  I hugged myself then looked at myself side ways.  "Are you okay?" 
     
   That unexpected voice came out of no where.  I turned and noticed it was Jenny, Ben's mother.  "Uh yeah," I kept my face down.  "Really? You left the other night right after puking out our expensive food." 
     
   "I'm sorry, if you want I'll pay for your next groceries." 
     
   "No it's fine." 
     
   "That boy, who is he?" 
     
   Lilly didn't answer her, "I got to go, excuse me." 
     
   Once getting around her, she got back outside just as everyone was standing still, and watching something.  My phone buzzed and I grabbed it then stared at the title of the video everyone was watching.  Little Princess is a Bad Girl. 
     
   I played it, and it started playing what happened on my birthday.  Jason looked so furious and so did the other players.  I bit hard into my lip.  Ben wasn't in the video until the end, where he took me to the hospital.  His reaction to this was not good. 
     
   He tossed his helmet at Jason, I didn't know what to say, or think, but I needed to go home.  It seemed that I didn't need to say anything or feel, my eyes were already showing how I felt.  Maybe feeling nothing was the solution I put ahead of myself since that happened a few weeks ago.  
     
   Lilly took one look back at the video, then she left.  She went to her locker inside the school and pulled out all of her things.  Her Father was going to be very upset.  Knowing that her life was probably ruined now, she ran. 
     
   "Ben, did you know this was happening? Did you know your sister was..." 
     
   "Mom, I did, but I didn't even consider doing it..." 
     
   "What's that face then!?" 
     
   "Because we had sex after...I mean after I saved her, but she was kind of tipsy." 
     
   Jenny sighed in a big huff.  "I didn't know she was my damn sister Mom! Would have been fucking nice to know!" 
     
   "Don't swear at me." 
     
   "Where are we going?" 
     
   "Look, whatever is going on between you two, end it.  Also, I'm going to go and soothe my child." 
     
   "Soothe her mom? Telling her, that your her mother, is not going to make her feel better about the shit she went through a couple weeks ago.  Lilly isn't a slut, and whoever posted that video, must hate her.  Which would be the entire school..." 
     
   "Why the entire school!?" 
     
   "Because she's popular, she doesn't have friends and she sticks out the most because of how she looks.  Lilly is the most desired, most of the nerds follow her around." 
     
   "Were you...crushing on your sister?" 
     
   "What? No!" 
     
   "Really? Because first that happens, then you some how get into her pants..." 
     
   "Mom, she was at a party, we met, at a party and that's how she thank'd me." 
     
   "Did you ever wonder that maybe she wasn't thanking you?" 
     
   "Huh?" 
     
   "Lilly went to the hospital because she was raped by the entire football team.  You actually think she'd want to have sex with you?" 
     
   "I-I don't know!" 
     
   "Is that her?" 
     
   Lilly was just walking on the side of the street, and she was on the phone with someone.  Jen parked the car, and got out.  Ben just couldn't believe it, this was his sister that he saved then had sex with.  It kind of made him chuckle.   
     
   Daddy called me, turns out he doesn't want me living with him anymore. 
   
   
   
   Just a Ride 
    "Come on, we will drop you off at home." 
     
   "No, I don't want to go home!"  
     
   Lilly kept looking down at her phone.  "That video meant nothing but trouble Lilly, you need to understand that all the parents were horrified at how many times you screamed for help." 
     
   "Stop.  Just get the hell away from me." I pulled out the money from the other night that Ben gave me.  "This is Ben's, just give it to him." 
     
   "Money?" 
     
   "I was never dating your dumb boy! He just wanted me for the day so that you'd shut the fuck up about him getting a girlfriend!" She glanced over at her car giving someone the eye.  "We are just friends..." 
     
   "Do you have any where to go tonight?" 
     
   "How could I?" Lilly dropped slowly to her knees.  "Daddy hates me now and he doesn't want me.  So I'm not going home." 
     
   "Then where are you going?" 
     
   "Some place.  Some where far away from here," Lilly rocked a little.  "No plan isn't good." 
     
   "Why are you being nice to me?" Lilly had such a nice soft innocent voice.  "Because I need to.  I want to.  Your mother must have been a damn fool." 
     
   "I-I don't know her, I lied about my story." 
     
   "I know." 
     
   "How would you know?" 
     
   "I mean, I know that you lied because you studdered before speaking about...her.  Do you hate her?" 
     
   "A stranger is a stranger.  It's not like I could hate her.  Maybe one day I will meet her, and I will ask her why she chose to leave me instead of taking me with her.  I can't hate her.  I don't know her." 
     
   "Maybe I could help you find her." 
     
   "Huh?" 
     
   "Come home with me, I promise you that you'll find your answers." 
     
   Lilly watched as her hand came out.  "My name is Jenny.  You can call me Jen, or asshole, whatever you like." 
     
   "I'll keep that in mind." She smiled then put her arm around me and walked me to the car.  "Now you can sit up front with me." 
     
   "B-but Benny is back there I'd feel comfortable sitting-" 
     
   "Trust me, I think you should sit up in the front seat with me." 
     
   She was giving me that look again, that look of how dare you even be near my son look, so I got in the passenger seat.  "You okay Lilly?" 
     
   "Shut up." 
     
   "I didn't do it and you know I wouldn't.  Don't blame this on me." 
     
   "I'm not, I just want you to be quiet Ben." 
     
   I wanted to kick his ass now.  "Also, you owe me now more than a hundred!" She got into the front seat and she glanced at me, "well aren't you going to put your seat belt on?" 
     
   "Shouldn't you put your seatbelt on first?" She blinked a few times then reached over and grabbed her belt while I quickly clicked mine in.  "See, now I have mine clicked in..." 
     
   She looked at me, noticing my belt was on already, "oh..." 
     
   I was up very early in the morning, the cooks weren't up, so I decided to try and make something.  My pancakes turned out like garbage and the smoke detector started beeping.  "What in the world did you do to our kitchen!?" Tommy questioned.  "I uh...I made pancakes." 
     
   "For one person and you managed to burn one pancake!?" 
     
   I blinked a few times.  Then everyone else got up, Ben stared at my pancake, "is it really that bad?" 
     
   "Well it's not ediable." 
     
   "I eat this all the time though..." 
     
   "Your Dad's not around much, I forgot." 
     
   Ben placed his hand on my shoulder, and that's when he was really shoved out of the way.  "Well we can fix this, how about the boys leave us while we cook something up?" 
     
   "No I don't think you should let me help you." 
     
   "I'm sure everything will be just fine." 
     
   An hour later, dough was every where, and the pancake mix ended up all over Lilly's head, not to mention everything was dumped on the counter or floor, but the pancake turned out just fine.  Jenny kept glancing at Lilly.  "I don't feel so good..." 
     
   "Well you did just dump...all my vanilla, then manage to slip on your own socks and dump flour on your head." 
     
   "I'm sorry, I tried telling you." 
     
   "It's fine, practice makes the team work." 
     
   "Team work? I just made a mess, and I don't have any clothes to change into." 
     
   "You can borrow one of my outfits." 
     
   I frowned a bit, "I really don't feel well, where's your bathroom?" 
     
   "Do you hurt any where?" 
     
   "I don't understand what you mean by that." 
   After using the bathroom she took me to her room, I mean we were the same size, just different physcal size, I am smaller than she is.  I didn't tempt putting on her clothing.  I sat on this little chair that she had in her room.  "I'm fat," I poked at my tummy, "I don't understand you, I eat healthy, but you keep getting bigger, I exercise, and you still keep growing." 
     
   Lilly was talking to herself for quite some time, then the door opened a little, "um, you aren't finished?" 
     
   "No, no, I just, I don't think any of this will fit..." 
     
   "Oh? You look small though." 
     
   She came in, and I kind of covered up a little.  "You didn't try it on?" 
     
   "No, I find that my clothes are starting to get tighter, and you wear the same size as me," I looked at my tummy.  "I don't get it, I eat healthy, I excise, and yet I'm fat." 
     
   "Your not..." 
     
   She was silent now, "Ben told me this happened about a couple weeks?" 
     
   "Yes." 
     
   "Lilly, do you understand what sex is? Do you know about babies?" 
     
   She placed her finger to her lip, "babies?"  
     
   Lilly made that face again from last night, she looked kind of off, painfully off.  "Are you okay?" 
     
   "I'm just not feeling well..." 
     
   "Yes you've said that many times." 
     
   "I uh...just...I'm tired." 
     
   Lilly started biting her nails.  "Have you eaten anything lately?" 
     
   "Uh yes." 
     
   "What did you eat? Because I don't recall you coming to join us at the dinner table." 
     
   "Uh, I uh-" 
     
   "Your lying to me." 
     
   She sat down on the floor in front of me.  "Honey, are you pregnant?" 
     
   "Huh?" 
     
   "Are you trying to starve yourself because your pregnant?" 
     
   "Pregnant?? Pregnant as in baby pregnant??" 
     
   "Well I don't know any other pregnant...have you had the sex talk? Or where the babies come from talk?" 
     
   "No." Her lips thinned and she just nodded.  "Have you maybe considered that you have a little baby in that tummy? That's maybe why your pants are getting tighter and shirts?" 
     
   Lilly looked like she was a ghost now, and she covered her face.  "No, no, I don't want a baby!" 
     
   "Hey it's okay..." 
     
   "How is it okay!? I don't even know who the father is because I was...I just don't want a baby!" 
     
   Lilly kept coughing a little.  "How about I set you up a doctors appointment?" 
     
   "I can't, I don't like doctors, they have these pokey things and they keep poking me every time I go and see them." 
     
   "They are called shots, and they make you feel better I suppose." 
     
   "Well I'm afraid of dentist and shots." 
     
   "Anything else?" 
     
   "Thunderstorms, dogs, dark spaces, tiny spaces, water," her eyes were big.  "Why water don't you take baths?" 
     
   "No, I don't." 
     
   "What exactly do you do then?" 
     
   "I shower." 
     
   "So why are you afraid of water?" 
     
   "Well, I tried swimming one time with my Daddy in the ocean, and things didn't go well.  There may have been a shark involved and someone dying, but that's about it." 
     
   "Lilly, did you ever consider try finding your mom?" 
     
   "I was thinking I would probably find her, I heard stories that she's an amazing woman so I thought if I did what she did in school, then I'd get some where to, and things didn't go my way though.  I started cheer.  I had done everything I could to get my grades up, Daddy though wanted me to be perfect.  Coming here that night, got me in trouble.  I'm not good at following people, people follow me and I can't help it." 
     
   Jenny stared at her, Lilly kind of smiled.  "See where that got me though? Trouble.  I wish I would have never wanted to try and be like her, I am now confused of who the fuck I am," I sighed.  "It wasn't always like this, Daddy hated me so much he didn't talk to me until I was ten, my Nana started telling me about what a lovely woman she was but had her own family to return to.  I was not apart of that family." 
     
   "You seem like you...accepted that?" 
     
   "No point on complaining, my life is shit, I drink at parties, I have sex with strangers, the fact that I even got with Ben, I fucked up.  When I throw my own parties, to many people come, and I either find people in my bathroom or bed kissing, and it's just disgusting." 
     
   "It sounds disgusting." 
     
   "It kind of was." 
     
   "Kind of?" 
     
   "People that had dates were there, it was a party Jen, I mean seriously, a big deal party, I never ever, let my parties go downhill." 
     
   "When exactly do you plan these?" 
     
   "When Daddy is gone, and my step mother is away.  Daddy doesn't care what I do, just as long as I don't have sex or get arrested," I laughed a little, "knowing my luck though, I'm really fucked.  Ended up having sex, now the only thing that's next is jail." 
     
   "Your not going to jail..." 
     
   "Look at my stomach and tell me that.  I'm going to go now, and I'm going to go home, because it's not like my Daddy will know!" 
     
   "No Lilly I don't think that's a good idea honey." 
     
   "Why are you even being nice to me??" 
     
   "I...just think I should get to know you better." 
     
   "That's kind of creepy, no offense." 
     
   "None taken...." 
     
   "Look I think I just need to go, all my clothes are at home, and I should probably plan on dumping school, and going and staying with my Nana for some time, see I got a plan..." 
     
   "Lilly that's not a plan, your crying over this plan." 
     
   "Because I wanted to not be a disappointment to my Father, and I wanted to prove that I was good enough for my Mother.  I'm so pathetic." 
     
   "Don't call yourself that, darling, I think she will understand, very well.  What exactly do you plan on doing with your baby?" 
     
   Lilly covered her face with the palms of her hands, "I don't think I'm pregnant anymore." 
     
   "Huh?" 
     
   "I have been in pain, for about three nights..." 
     
   "Since the dinner?" 
     
   She hesitated before nodding, "I didn't know...I didn't...I am sorry." 
     
   "Why are you apologizing?" 
     
   "Because I killed the baby." 
     
   "How did you...kill the baby?" 
     
   "I stopped eating because I thought I was getting fat, and now it's dead and my tummy hurts." 
     
   "We are going to need to see a doctor honey." 
     
   "No! No!" 
     
   "If you don't get a doctor, you could get an infection." 
     
   "I don't want an infection..." 
     
   "Then lets go, I promise it will be in and out." 
     
   "Promise..." 
     
   "I do.  I promise." 
     
     
   
   
   
   Try Harder 
    It didn't take long for the baby to go, Jenny sat for a while with me, I didn't really understand why or how she could, but I didn't question it.  I was proscribed some meds to go home with, and no, I didn't get the shots, not this time.  
     
   I gave her a hug super tight, "thank you for keeping your promise." 
     
   "Your one strange little girl..." 
     
   I gave her a wink after backing away, "now I need to go.  I need to get this off from me, so that I can fit back into my clothes," I patted her suit outfit down a bit.  "Thank you for the clothes and your help." 
     
   "How about I go shopping with you some time?" 
     
   I thought about it for a moment, "it would be nice.  How about tonight? Daddy won't be home til late, so maybe we can hang out a little?" 
     
   He actually wouldn't be home at all, but I wasn't going home.  "Sure, I cleared my days..." 
     
   "Sweet!" 
     
   We stood right in front of a mirror, and I stared at myself in the mirror, then I glanced at her.  "Why don't you two look adorable today." 
     
   I should be resting, I'm actually still not feeling good, I lied to the nurse.  "There is a sale today on mother's and daughter's clothing section." 
     
   My face went so bright, "n-no, you-" 
     
   "Well it wouldn't be to bad to check out...wouldn't it Lilly?" 
     
   The lady smiled, I'm still a bit confused, maybe she wants to fill that empty spot that I've had for years.  It's nice I guess.  I tried on an outfit, and she came out on the otherside.  "My, don't you two look adorable, Mrs. Jain, would you like to try this next?" 
     
   She looked at the outfit.  I wasn't realizing it until now, how she looked, I tugged at my hair a little, then I looked back in my mirror, oh my god, she's my mom.  I slowly turned around and went back into that little room.  I had sex with my half brother! 
     
   "Lilly you seem quiet now." 
     
   Mrs. Jain, how didn't I recognize the name before? Was I not paying attention? Filled with joy? "I uh, I need to go." 
     
   "Really? Already?" 
     
   "Yes, I have a big test coming up and I need...to study for it." 
     
   "Oh." 
     
   "Yes, and studying is important to me." 
     
   "I understand that.  If your going to be a doctor one day, your going to need lots of studying." 
     
   I stared at her some more, how could I react? Most of the things I told her, most of the things she found out about me, and I unloaded all that shit on her about wanting to be her.  But she gave me advice, and made me feel better, and she wanted me to stay with her longer.  Would it be so bad if I played it out more? To see how far I could go? I know there is most likely nothing to happen between me and Ben, that was an accident and I didn't know at the time who I was even sleeping with. 
     
   "So your Father...has he called you?" 
     
   "W-what? No, he hasn't."  
     
   Before tempting to pull my shirt off, I fell my wig kind of zip right on off my head, my super long hair hit the floor and my bangs got in my eyes.  "Woah, what just happened to you?" 
     
   The girl who was doing our dressing squealed a little, and she pulled out a pen, "can you sign this!?" 
     
   Shit... 
     
   I signed it really fast, "now leave!" She giggled her way out.  "What was that about?" 
     
   "I haven't been fully honest with you." I closed the curtain.  "I'm a model, and a singer," I peeked out.  "Singer? Model?" 
     
   "They call me Tiger for my stage name.  I decided that I wanted to relax a bit, so I started wearing my short hair wig that I used in one of my acts.  Jason, my ex, he uh, wanted more than I thought, Daddy set up this engagement so I actually was supposed to be getting married to him soon.  My Father told Jason, that until I wasn't a virgin, I could not marry, marrying Jason would give him fame, but not to mention...it would give my Father someone else to buddy up with a kill people." 
     
   "What??" 
     
   "I mean, friendly punch in the face," I switched that around pretty fast.  "I found myself going to parties a lot, I got drunk, came home with Jason, Jason slipped something into my drink, and I couldn't move.  My Father then found out about my mishaps of letting someone drug me because he hates that I'm a girl with that saying, Jason would be his next idolized figure, and I'd just be there to birth a baby.  Well I didn't know at the time I was pregnant, or what happened to me.  My step mother explained to me this plan...I then started running away at night.  Father would get angry with me, because the only freedom he gives me is work." 
     
   "You sound like you went through some messed of shit." 
     
   "It was messed up shit.  I loved Jason, my first boyfriend, and my last.  I will never make that mistake again." 
     
   Quickly I grabbed my wig, tucked my hair back up into it.  That woman came back and she smiled as she started showing us more outfits, she tried asking me more questions, but I didn't answer them.  After a very long shopping spree, we walked.  "So I should be going now, good luck." 
     
   "Wait...wait..." 
     
   I smiled.  "How about we get ice cream?" 
     
   "Ice cream?"  
     
   "Also, how about I do something with your hair so that you don't need to wear that ugly wig?" 
     
   "Huh? You thought my hair was ugly short?" She nodded.  I let her braid it, into a romantic tuck.  It really did help, but I had so much hair that she had to leave some of it down in the front.  We sat in silence just eating the ice cream.  Jenny then smiled at me.  I sighed, then handed her my number, "call me when you get the chance, thanks for today though, it was nice.  I must go back to my Daddy now." 
     
   I went on my way, and well Daddy was not happy with me, but I ended up grounded.   
     
     
   
   
   
   Awkward 
    "Lilly can we sit down and talk?" 
     
   "Talk?"  
     
   "I think it's time you go and visit your mother." 
     
   That was a shock, I would have never imagined it, but since I came back I've been modeling like crazy and in trouble a lot.  "You need to, well, me and your mom have come up with something, and she would love it if you went with her." 
     
   "Daddy...are you telling me, you don't want me anymoere? Did I do something bad?" 
     
   "No, she just, look I've kept you two apart as far as I could, so please." 
     
   "Please what?" 
     
   "Go." 
     
   "Is it because you got your wife knocked up!?" 
     
   "Lilly, we aren't discussing this any further." 
     
   She let this growl out, then quickly got out of the room.  Nine at night, and that's when she came to pick Lilly up, she noticed who it was, she wasn't surprised, and that shocked Jen.  They got into the back seat of the limo, and well they stayed even more quiet.  "You knew didn't you?" 
     
   "I uh, don't know what your talking about." 
     
   "Are you going to pretend like we don't know each other now?" 
     
   "I-I uh...well I think it's best." 
     
   "Really?" 
     
   "Well I think...I liked us as friends." 
     
   "Are you saying that because your scared of me?" 
     
   "I would never be scared of you, why would I..." 
     
   "Because you told me things that you wouldn't tell anyone else." 
     
   She pulled the silly wig off me, "we will start there." 
     
   "What took you so long?" 
     
   "What do you mean?" 
     
   "You didn't call me, and it's been a month, why did you change your mind? What took you so long?" 
     
   "I'm sorry I just got very busy." 
     
   "My Father is a CEO Jenny, and even he can get away from his clients, your making an excuse.  Why does anyone bother anymore..." 
     
   "Something wrong?" 
     
   "No...nothing." 
     
   "You look like you've changed." 
     
   "I did," I brought my knees up to my chest, then strapped myself with the seatbelt.  "I got older, and you, well," I glanced at her.  "You look fine." 
     
   "Why this is awkward isn't it?" 
     
   "The fact that you finally found time to call my Father a couple times, tells me how exactly many times you didn't want to call me, was it because you didn't want to say anything to me because maybe you felt bad?" 
     
   "Your really not going to let this go, are you?" 
     
   "Nope, in fact, this is going to be an interesting night, I wonder how Benny boo is doing." 
     
   "Don-" 
     
   "I was just kidding.  Goodness, after all this time you'd think I had some weird crush on my brother? Fuck that." 
     
   "So your Father said you were dating someone?" 
     
   "Uh, no, I don't date, I fuck." 
     
   "What?" 
     
   "I mean, yes, I date, then get around to third base." Her eyes widened at me some more, "don't give me that look, your the one who never called me to at least see if I was okay." 
     
   "Were you okay?" 
     
   "Of course," I rolled my eyes. 
     
   A day later - 
     
   "Mom, Lilly isn't coming out of her room, and the door is locked." 
     
   "Have you tried asking her why the door is locked?" 
     
   "I did, but there was no reply." 
     
   "Maybe she's in the shower." 
     
   "No, she's not, the water isn't running, usually we could hear running water, but there's nothing and there's a cold breeze coming from under the door." 
     
   Lilly twisted around in the blankets a little, clothes every where, and her underguarments tossed to the side.  She was out cold, a cuddling with her teddy bear, and her long hair covered up her boobs.  Jenny blinked a couple times, did she throw a tantrum? Her eyes were scanning, until she noticed a pair of boxers for boys on the floor.  Lilly wouldn't lie, right? There was a bottle of wine sitting off to the side most likely empty, and a small condom wrapper.  "Wow...she destroyed the room," Jack came in next. 
     
   "I don't know what happened..." 
     
   "It looks like the slut had sex." 
     
   "No, this isn't like her.  At least I don't think so...who did she even...I, never mind, I don't want to know." 
     
   Just as she said that, a tall colored man came out with nothing on but a towel wrapped around his waist.  "Who the hell are you and what the fuck are you doing in my house!?" 
     
   "Oh, this was your house?" 
     
   His dark chocolate voice reached out, waking Lilly, she grabbed her teddy and held it close to her chest, "oh there you are..." 
     
   This cute side over came Lilly, her eyes lit up, and her teddy bear was now tightly in her grasp.  She got up on her knees, and lucky that her legs were long because otherwise the teddy bear wouldn't be big enough to cover everything.  She gave him a small kiss on the cheek.  "William, I had fun, next time?" 
     
   "Yes, maybe some where more private my princess?" 
     
   "Yes, I think maybe we should go and stay at a cabin, this summer?" It made him smile, he wouldn't dare touch me, not in front of them, so he gave me a small kiss on the forehead, then he dropped his towel just to grab his clothing, there was no shame, or at least I had no shame either staring at that large member.  Now there was this aching between my legs, I quickly set down.  Jenny covered her eyes and Jack tossed his shirt to him and he smirked then left.  "Who the fuck was that!?? Under my fucking roof!?" Jack shot up first. 
     
   "It was William." 
     
   "Who the fuck is William!??" 
     
   "He's my daddy," they stopped speaking, "daddy!? Daddy!?" I think Jenny was going to have a panick attack.  "I'm kidding, but that was a good reaction, no, he's my producer, and things seem to happen on the road." 
     
   Jenny looked like she was about to pass out now, her reaction to this was so intriguing.  "How old is he Lilly!!?" Now she freaked on me.  "Twenty something, maybe older.  I here that grown ups are getting suger daddy's, I guess there would be no difference right?" 
     
   Lilly's eyes are what got them both to calm down, they looked so convincing, and because of her sad face looks, she was awfully good at persuading.  "What did you do to your room Lilly?" 
     
   Jen then took her seat on the edge of the bed, "well, it started on the dresser, bathroom counter, shower, closet...then finally the bed." Her hand raised.  "That's so not what I meant!" 
     
   "It's true though.  That's what happened, and if it makes you feel any better, he and I were safe, because my step mother told me that I had to have condoms if I was going to have sex." 
     
   "Excuse me?" 
     
   "What? Did I say something wrong?" 
     
   "Where the fuck is your step mother right now!?" 
     
   Jenny had smoke rolling out of her nostrals, "uh...modeling," her hands became fists and she let this frustrated grown out.  Jack knew something was up because he stopped her from going any where.  "Let go of me!" 
     
   "She's not worth it." 
     
   He glanced at me while saying it, but her fist hit him so hard in the face, "I guess you weren't either prick," I stuck my tongue out at him.  Jenny turned back to me, "what else did she tell you!? Are you having sex with him for her to keep her job or some shit like that!?" 
     
   "N-no." 
     
   "Your lying to me!" 
     
   "Maybe, but she said it would help her, and then Daddy and her could...could have their own family." Jen watched as Lilly's thin lips started twitching, "I'm fine though, plus William is a good man." 
     
   "A good man!? Tell me Lilly! Does your Father know that this man is who's been coming into your room at night!? Who you've been sneaking off to see just to keep his dirty hands off your step mom!? She gave you to him so that she could get rid of you and give your Father something he's always wanted!" 
     
   "N-n-no...I..." 
     
   "I was right, something did change! I didn't expect it to be this disappointing! You could have came back any time!" 
     
   "No I couldn't! Your always busy like daddy! You wouldn't care! Nobody cares.  They have their own family now, and so do you, I'm just in the middle, and I'm okay with that, because I was never supposed to exist to begin with.  Jack is an asshole, my Father's a murderer.  My step mom is a bitch, and your a bad mom.  See, now we can all be something." 
     
   Lilly smiled, and she then barried her face into the teddy.  "I'll find Amanda, you just tend to your daughter, it seems like he did more than bang her up." 
     
   "Don't ever use those words again." 
     
   Jack nodded then left the room.  Lilly didn't cry loud, she just sniffled into the teddy bear.  Hesitantly, Jen grabbed a pair of pajamas off the floor that was clean, and she sat on the bed next to Lilly.  "Who's the teddy bear?" 
     
   "My Daddy..." She mumbled.  "That's kind of messed up, but I could probably understand why you would say that.  Do you have a Mommy teddy bear also?" 
     
   Lilly smacked her with this pink bear, "that's me?" 
     
   "No, it's my Mommy." 
     
   "Oh, so you made your family out of teddy bears?" 
     
   "Yes." 
     
   "Why did you do that?" 
     
   "Because this is my family, now stop touching her," she dropped the teddy on the floor.  Her hand went to just touch her shoulder, but Lilly flinched, "I-I didn't mean to...I'm sorry, I'm sorry." 
     
   Jenny stared some more in absolute silence.  What happened in that month? Lilly is acting like a child, her eyes look red.  Has she been on drugs? No that wasn't it, "what happened to your dream of being a doctor?" 
     
   She started nibbling on her nails.  "Lilly?" 
     
   "Stop talking to me." 
     
   "Hey...if your worried about your Father-" 
     
   "Shut up!" 
     
   "Now that's just uncalled for.  Why are you being like this? You said that you wouldn't get mad at me." 
     
   "I'm...not mad at you.  I just need to be alone right now, and your not letting me be alone." 
     
   "I'm your mother, and you can tell me anything.  Now what happened to you?" 
     
   "I don't get how you standing up to being a mom of a orphan really gives you privledge.  I'm not telling you shit, and if I want to have sex with William, then I'm going to continue having sex." 
     
   "No." 
     
   "What?" 
     
   "I said no.  You not going to continue having sex, you want to have sex, do something by yourself, because I'm not letting a grown ass man, into my home, just to have sex with you, your fifteen for fucks sake, you shouldn't even be having sex.  I can tell you what to do, and right now, I'm asking you to tell me why your so brain washed into having sex with this man for your step mom.  Also, this is one of my rooms, and you cannot just lock your door, or tell me to leave." 
     
   Lilly now sat in silence, she looked down a bit, then back up at her, "I wanted to go out, my step mother though wanted me to do another shoot, but this time it wasn't good, or so she said, she spent an awful amount of time with him in his office, she had sex with him, came out, then told me an arrangement and in return, Daddy won't send me away.  Daddy was getting rid of me to make a new family with Amanda, and I wasn't going to be apart of their big happy family.  So I did it...over and over, until finally, I got used to him, him not loving any other girl, him not forcing me to do anything I wish not to.  His love was nore bigger than anyone else's." 
     
   "Is he married?" 
     
   "No, he's not, which is surprising." Not telling her emotions at the moment, Jenny handed her the clothes.  "Put this on, I'll run a bath for you." 
     
   Lilly was still acting like a child, maybe this was just her though, and Jenny was seeing another side of her.  Either way, she wasn't going to just let Lilly have sex, and think it's okay, and not to mention, she's still fifteen! 
     
   The silence at the table lasted for a while.  Jenny stared at her food, and Lilly poked her food, the boys, had empty plates because when they got their food, it was hot.  "How about some bonding time? I'll take the boys, and you get Lilly." 
     
   They both looked up at each other finally.  "Huh?" Lilly whispered.  "Yeah.  Go and you know, have fun?" 
     
   Lilly rolled her eyes then got up and excused herself from the table, "I got things to do." 
     
   "Maybe that means you really are mad at her?" Ben cracked up laughing.  "I'm not mad, I just have other things to be doing other than playing dumb games." 
     
   "Other things to be doing? So you obviously aren't mad...right." 
     
   Jenny followed her to a party, lost her in the party, then found her upstairs eating candy with some other kids.  "Seriously!? You all better get this party shut off or I'm going to call all of your damn parents!" 
     
   They scurried away, then I was left, she just stared at me.  "What the hell is this!?" 
     
   "A party, it's just a party, it's not like anyone was getting hurt." 
     
   "Not getting hurt!? Do you know how many girls I saved from getting aids tonight!?" 
     
   "Look, it's not my business if the girls want to have sex, and it shouldn't be yours either.  Sex is something that a woman or girl has to go through in their life.  You have officially dumped my party, now not only am I the whore of the school, I'm the party dumper."  
     
   "Your not a whore.  Who cares about parties Lilly, there is more to life than you know, and lying to me about this isn't going to help 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
   
   
   
   Pool 
    "Why are you doing that?" 
     
   "What do you mean? You said paddle, so I'm paddling." 
     
   "Well...stop, your looking funny." 
     
   "We aren't even in the water yet and you look rediculous with that doggy paddle." 
     
   "I told you I was afraid of water, now we are in the pool room, and your trying to get me to swim." 
     
   "It will be fun, and I'll be right beside you." 
     
   "Doesn't sound like fun." 
     
   Jenny patted my head then put arm floaties on my arms.  "Don't you ever wear something that shows your tummy Lilly? I mean the one your wearing is cute..." 
     
   "Jen, if you don't want me having sex, then don't make me change my looks." 
     
   "What? What does your looks have to do with anything?" 
     
   "Lots if a boy comes up, or more than one, and I'm in a two piece, they are either going to be staring at my ass, or boobs.  We will talk, walk away from whatever you do, and have sex on the beach." 
     
   "That's disgusting." 
     
   "Your welcome, now I really don't feel like doing this." 
     
   "This is your punishment for eating edibles." 
     
   "It's not like they hurt me.  Plus it was just candy..." 
     
   "Candy or not, get in the damn pool." 
     
   I gave myself a long distance from the pool.  "No thanks." 
     
   "Look at me," she grabbed Lilly's hand, "just close your eyes." 
     
   "Huh?" 
     
   "Close your eyes." 
     
   "What? No, not in this pool room." 
     
   "Look, I'm going to teach you how to swim, and your going to need to trust me." 
     
   "Trust you how!? We just met!" 
     
   "No we didn't, we met a while ago." 
     
   I stared at her, and she hinted that I moved.  So finally I "trusted", her she pulled me into the water slowly. 
     
   Lilly furrowed her eyebrows and whined out a small cry.  "Your fine just slowly open your eyes." 
     
   She closed them a lot more tighter before forcing them open, but as soon as she did, she had a panic attack.  Jenny accidently let her go and Lilly sank more in.  Lilly got so mad, and with the panic she did that messy paddle furiously out of the pool room.   
     
   Jenny found her reading in the library, sitting in her chair, but she wasn't alone.  "Look can't we just talk about this?" 
     
   "I don't want to talk about anything Ben!" 
     
   "Look, we need to talk." 
     
   "Why do we need to talk!?" 
     
   "Because, we had sex, and that should be issued out." 
     
   "It never happened, I don't have a clue to what your talking about." 
     
   "But it did happen Lilly, and damnit you can't just ignore it, because that baby wasn't the boys, it was mine, and you know it also!" 
     
   "Shut up Ben!" 
     
   "You don't want to talk to me about this, but why? Your not stupid, you ran away from home to do something that would piss your Father off, you did it, then you got into something with the group." 
     
   "I never wanted it..." 
     
   "You wanted the baby though, so don't pretend to be okay with everything, so what's the new guy like huh?" 
     
   "Bigger than you obviously," I slammed my book shut, "also he's kind, and he..." 
     
   "That's a lot of bullshit coming out of your mouth, you still have feelings for me, and you know it." 
     
   Slowly Lilly grabbed her bathing suit sleeves pulled them to her shoulders than bent down a little giving him quite a view, "no, I don't, but by the looks of it you do, maybe I did want that baby, but I lost it, and I'm not going to dwell on it.  You on the otherhand are still stuck on me, we fucked, and I don't even remember it.  The fact that you can't let it go, tells me that you seriously need to double check your thinking." 
     
   She pulled herself back up.  "So why did you come back? What's your game now?" 
     
   "My game? Whatever do you mean?" 
     
   "Well you came here, had sex, acted out like you were a child or something.  Now your just as is." 
     
   Lilly rolled her eyes and leaned onto the desk.  Her voice deepened.  "My Father can have his own family, in two weeks I shall have mine, I don't mean your turf, so, keep your mom, it's not like I need her, I have my own problem to deal with." 
     
   "Problem? Please, your like a fucking princess Lilly." 
     
   "Yeah? Don't all princesses have problems Ben? I have a problem, and soon I'm going to fix it, I have to admit, I never thought I'd end up here...just when it was starting to feel cozy to..." 
     
   Her eyes fixed onto the book.  "Lilly this is home, this is where we all want you, what else could pssible be wrong?" 
     
   "It's a secret Benny boo, I guess your never going to figure it out.  There are certain things in which you don't know of your own blood line, but I on the otherhand, know every single thing." 
     
   "I don't get it..." 
     
   "Your not supposed to, just stay out of my way and nobody will get hurt, keep your mother away from me, she's getting to close and I don't need her spoiling my plans.  Like I said, everyone has their purpose, now I'm done with her.  William is next, after getting him to think I'm in love with him, that's when the real fun begins." 
     
   "Your insane Lilly." 
     
   "No darling, I'm not insane, I just have things to get done before I'm finally free." 
     
   After she said that, it left the two pondering.  Jenny stayed hidden, Ben just stared off, then Lilly left them both thinking. 
     
   Jenny observed her, she acted off lately, and most nights she left and didn't come back at all, and when she did grace the halls with her presence, she just ended up sleeping on the bench near a window filled with plants.  "Lilly, hun...where have you been all night, I'm starting to worry." 
     
   Her lips thinned, and she mumbled something in a sleepy voice.  "Daddy's grave." 
     
     
     
     
   
   
   
   The Mumble 
    Now Lilly was completely up, and she was looking perfectly fine, the only way she slept was keeping Jen awake all night because of the thunderstorm.  Lilly was hiding this big secret that would reveal soon, but she lied to herself when she said, she didn't need her.  Jenny would tail her a lot, and hug her, and it just seemed off to Lilly to be embraced in a motherly bonding way.   
     
   The week went by fast, and bits and pieces started being revealed.  The plan was slowly being pieced up.  Jenny just always visited her while she slept, because turns out, Lilly is like a book.   
     
   Her plan, was to murder an entire family.  
     
   This wasn't her family though, her so called step mother and father weren't even her real members, Lilly's Father was murdered and barried in the room they tossed her into with the rats.  Then William, he was someone who came down and gave her nightmares, these nightmares were filled with scary dogs.  He'd bring in this big dog and let it growl and nip at her.   
     
   This was her real child, how could Francis be dead? How could her Father just be dead, then be alive? Things weren't adding up.   
     
   The more intel from Lilly, the more they she recieved on info, until it came to a night she wasn't asleep and when the questions came,  Lilly sat up, and snatched the notebook that Jen was writing in.  "Hey...that was just mean." 
     
   "Stop trying to read me." 
     
   "We need to talk about this hun, do you actually think killing people is going to take back your trauma? Look around you and see what you have." 
     
   "I don't have anything.  As selfish as it seems, I don't have a single thing.  My Father died in the same room I was put in, and no thanks to you, I had to suffer through hell, so what I do to get my revenge, is none of your business, just stay the fuck out of my way." 
     
   "So what?" 
     
   "Hm?" 
     
   "You hate me, you can try lying to yourself saying that you don't, but I can see right through you Lilly, and it's bullshit that you won't even let me try." 
     
   "I don't want you to try, it seems you have overheard my conversation with Benny boo, and if that's the case, you should know that your purpose has been served." 
     
   "My purpose? Do you even hear yourself!?" 
     
   "I do, and I don't give a shit.  This is the new me, and I've decided, I'm going to take over my Father's business.  When I'm finished with them, I will have what I want." 
     
   "Lilly that woman is pregnant, you can't honestly want to kill a pregnant woman!" 
     
   "Yes, I do, that bitch will get what she deserves.  I will not have to have sex with William." Lilly cracked her knuckles, "now, it's time." 
     
   "Time?" 
     
   "Yes, time.  I've swore I'd get revenge for my Father." 
     
   She slipped her clothes off, and put on something a lot more revealing.  "What the hell is that!?" 
     
   "It's my outfit, in which I chose to go in, so that any man that sees me thinks I'm there as one of his maids." 
     
   "Maids?" 
     
   "Father has lots of people servicing him, including whores, he's not going to be home, so I will service one of the guards, which is just a hand job.  I think.  But if not..." 
     
   The necklace around her neck, it was a dagger, like a small dagger, "he'll be my first." 
     
   "I'm not letting you do this." 
     
   "I didn't ask for your permission." 
     
   "I know, which is why, your going to have to kill me first if you want out of this room." 
     
   "What??" 
     
   "You heard me." 
     
   "I can't...kill you." 
     
   "You can, I'm standing right here." 
     
   "Are you testing me to see if I have the guts? Look, your a waste of my time, I don't need people like you getting in my way." 
     
   "Lilly, let me help you, please, I'll have people look into it secretly." 
     
   "Really?" 
     
   "Yes, and by next week, it will all be yours.." 
     
   "Which means I would finally get my house back." 
     
   "Huh?" 
     
   "Nothing..." I lived alone for a while.  She stared at me some more, "that man...you had sex with, I want to know what exactly he did to you to make you so mad." 
     
   I blinked at her.  There was a reason why I wore underguarments that didn't reveal certain parts.  I unzipped the dress, "remember when I told you I was afraid of dogs?" the clear black fabric was the only thing covering me up, I lifted it, to reveal bites from a big dog.  She hesitated but then placed her hand on my head, "Momma isn't going to let anyone else hurt you Lilly, you just need to trust me, a war isn't fought alone." 
     
   "I'm not alone." 
     
   "You are to, and you won't admit it." 
     
   "Fine, I won't admit it, but so what?" 
     
   "You want to impress me? Then admit it." 
     
   "Fine, I need help." 
     
   "Now we are getting some where.  Sit tight Lilly, I'm going to help you." 
     
   "Yeah? What possibly could you do? You understand that my Father's company is completely your enemy?" 
     
   "You are my daughter Lilly, we can come up with some arrangements, and with my help you should be able to get things together." 
     
   Lilly sat for hours, until Jenny came back finally, "well, everything is set in motion Lilly, you should get your Father's house in about two days." 
     
   "Two days? I would of had it in one night." 
     
   "I doubt that." 
     
   "Fine, doubt me, but I'm far more capeable of killing a man." 
     
   Jen laughed at Lilly, "you make me laugh Lilly, do you honestly think that you have the guts to murder someone? You'd go mad." 
     
   "What about you?" She stopped laughing.  "Someone hurts my children, they will have a grave already dug out for them." 
     
   "So you don't have the guts either! You talk smack!" 
     
   "I do not..." 
     
   "Yes you do, your so annoying!" 
     
   "What!? I'm the annoying one!?" 
     
   "You care only about yourself! What will you gain after this!? That's right! You'll gain nothing but another company to take over! I'd rather die in my own house than see that happen! You've always seen his company as an enemy!" 
     
   "I don't care about his damn company! I care what happens to you! So stop fucking shouting at me and let me help!" 
     
   It got her to shut up, Lilly sat and listened to Jen.  Jenny wishes for her to stay...
