Chapter 3

"Lilith, how did you sleep?" Priya asked, waking me up with food on a tray.

"Could have been better but waking up to you was nice." I smile and take the food. "Thanks, Priya."

I eat the food and watch as Priya leaves the room. I was given eggs and bacon and a glass of milk. I smile at Priya's efforts to make me happy first thing in the morning. "She didn't know I don't like bacon." I laugh to myself. I chose to eat the bacon anyway because she made it but I cringed at the texture of it.

I decided to get up for the day and wear lazy clothes as I had no intention of leaving the house today. I was going to take Priya around the city but I needed a rest from that party last night. It was already stressful enough that my friends threw a party without my knowledge. It would have been nice to know what they were doing but they chose to stress me out instead.

"Why would Nadine do that to me?" I ask myself. "I mean I understand trying to plan a surprise but that was too much."

"Other than Nadine and I was there anyone else you knew?" Priya asks as she sits next to me. She sounded just as stressed as I was.

"There was one other person." I look at Priya smiling sweetly.

"Who was it?" she sounded curious and contemplated if I wanted to tell her about him.

"Does it really matter?" I ask her not really wanting to tell her that I have a tiny bit of feelings for him.

"It's ok if you don't want to tell me." Priya was understanding and that's what I love most about her. She knew when I was uncomfortable telling her things and she always knew when to drop the topic. In this case, I didn't want her knowing about Austin. Only because I've waited so long to be Priya that going off and dating someone could ruin those chances.

"So what's the plan for today?"

"I need time to relax after what Nadine did last night"

"Understandable." she stood up and headed upstairs. I could have sworn I saw a disappointed look on her face, but I wasn't wearing my glasses so I have no clue. I hate disappointing people but sometimes I need to think for myself rather than for others. I mean mental health is important right?

I got up and went upstairs and knocked on Priya's door, sighing to myself. All I could hear from the other side was sniffling. I immediately felt bad for turning her down and walked away sighing to myself. If I could bend to everyone's will I would. But like I said earlier I have to think about myself sometimes. I can't always take care of others.

I rub my face frustratedly and go to my room to put on a pair of black jeans and a black shirt with a leather jacket over the shirt. I headed back downstairs and got together some snacks and lunch. I looked up the stairs and considered turning back on this and unpacking the food.

"Priya!" I hollered up the stairs. She came down and it looked as if she had been crying. I felt so bad for letting her down and I wanted to make it up to her. "Shower and get ready to go," I told her. She looked confused and slightly scared at what was going on. Giving her a sweet smile I went to the kitchen to prepare dinner and a dessert to go with. I smile to myself thinking that I did everything needed to do.

After I finished with the food I pulled out one of my fleece blankets and curled up in a ball to get some rest for the tiring day ahead of me. It was only 11:30 in the morning but it felt like 2:00 in the morning. It was only about two hours later that I heard someone calling my name.

"Lilith!! Wake up!" Priya was yelling in my ear. I groaned pulling the blanket over my head, only to have it pulled right off me. "You told me to get ready for something, so what is it?" I sighed sitting up and grabbing the blanket pulling it back over me.

"Just give me a few minutes to get up please." I really didn't want to get up but I made a promise to show her around town. As I sit up I feel the world about to spin. ���Shit. Really now of all times." mumbling to myself, I slowly stand up. Priya noticed right away what was going on and helped me stand up. She held my arm firmly making sure I could balance before letting me go.

I started heading to the car after telling Priya to grab the food that I had packed. I grabbed my keys from the key rack by the door and headed out to the car. Opening car doors for the black-haired girl even if she didn't need it made me happy. Every smile I got from her was like I was blessed by an angel.

It took me a couple of hours later I got to the place I planned to take the angel to. "Did you really get lost on the way here?" Priya laughed causing me to blush.

"Yes, but I rarely go here." I looked at her at the stoplight smiling sweetly at her. "I wanted to bring you here because I knew you would like it here. "That made her smile and I'm happy because it was a genuine smile. Being in love with her and not knowing if she feels the same is difficult.

As we got out of the car I started to feel dizzy again. I stood up and just realized how big of a mistake that was. Everything went black and the last thing I heard was someone yelling my name.
