Inside a Hypocritical Faker

Ashley

*dream*

She was trapped. I knew that. But where? "I'm fine," her smartass said. I rolled my eyes. I started walking down the hallways of the school looking for her. "Raven...Lilly," I shouted. I heard my voice eco off the walls, back to me. My footsteps were the only thing I could hear, other than my spastic breathing and my yells for Raven/Lilly. I had been walking on this one hallow for so long that my legs were hurting. I was about to give up when a figure appeared in front of me, dropping to the floor. I ran over to the person. It was her. I cradled her head in my lap. I felt her heart beat. It was there but slow. "Lilly..." I said slightly shaking her. Her eyes open and she focuses on my face. A smile shows on her lips. "I said I was fine," she whispers. I look over her body and see cuts on he arms. They look self inflicted. I gently grab one of her arms and look closer. The cuts are deep, you can see the slight rise and fall of a few veins, fighting to live. I quickly pull my shirt off and tie it around the cuts on that arm. "Why?" I look down and see Lilly had closed her eyes, but was still breathing. She doesn't open her eyes as she speaks, "I'm fine. This is how it is meant to be. Once I was stolen away, I seen there is no point in me staying. I'm sorry." Then she goes still. "NO," I scream as I shack her, "NO!" I start to cry. For some reason I felt more drawn to Lilly..."Please," I beg, "come back."

*end*

I wake from the tears on my face. I pick my head up and realize I had fallen asleep at work. I wipe my face, and look down at the file on my desk. I open it. The first page had Lilly's name, her "new" one. The newer information says that at the age of 3 her parents changed her name. And at the age of 13 she had been sent away by her "new" family to an insane asylum, because of self harm and suicide attempts. Then that she is currently 18, almost done with high school. I again trace the picture of her. Slowly running my thumb over her cheek. I feel as if the picture of Lilly is trying to tell me something. Ha who am I kidding?! A picture trying to "tell me something"....
