Lily's POV

"Here you go, dear." Jade said, giving me the newest pile of novels she had managed to collect for me. I just caught a glimpse of the first book's cover and my stomach had already started doing a giddy dance.

I smiled at her gratefully, taking them in my hands. "You're the best, Jade."

She waved her hand, dismissing it. Jade was like an Aunt to me. A caring Aunt. Probably my first Aunt since I had none. For real.

This library was where I mostly spent half of days in. She happened to be the librarian here. And when it came to my love for books, she knew me too well.

I was a proud bookworm, after all.

I headed for a nearby table with the books in my hands. I couldn't wait to open them up and indulge in them. It was like going into a completely new dimension, where only you and your imagination lived.

Geez, I'm thinking into this too much.

I sat down on one of the wooden chairs and was about to go through the first page when my phone rang. Frowning, I took it out from my pocket. Grandma's name was flashing on the screen.

A slight, odd feeling gnawed in my stomach.

It was odd knowing that grandma was calling me. I told her where I was going when I left the house. She actually never called me when I was at the library. Unless it was some sort of an emergency. I couldn't imagine anything bad happening.

"Grandma?" I answered.

All I heard was rushed breathing on the other end.

"Grandma? Is everything alright?" I asked, slightly panicking.

I think she wasn't listening to me and I couldn't have raised my voice either. Typical library rules.

"Oh, Lily, something...happened. We're in the Harmony Grove Hospital–" She trailed off. No way in hell my grandma liked joking around according to such stuff.

Her voice sounded strained. And for some reason, my heart had started beating wildly. However, I didn't need to be told twice. I quickly stood up, heading for the library exit.

She's in a hospital. In a hospital.

My brain was literally clouding around various scenarios. Very bad ones, may I add.

I looked around the busy street, trying to search a cab. It wasn't hard to find cabs here in my town. They were usually parked somewhere around the corners. Thankfully, the hospital grandma had mentioned wasn't far.

Somehow, I found myself in front of the familiar hospital. Paying the cab driver as fast as I could've, I practically ran inside.

A shiver went through me as I entered. I hated hospitals. I hated the stinging smell. I don't know why but it just reminded me of bad things, bad memories.

Like I was supposed to remember it.

I searched for grandma and there she was. She was sitting by a waiting bench. My grandma always had this sweet, welcoming aura around her. Since I was a child. And that made me love her more than anything.

But right now, as much as I wanted to sense it, I could only sense the tense atmosphere around her.

Things didn't look fine. And where was grandpa?

"Grandma." I rushed towards her, looking around, searching for answers. "What happened? What's wrong?"

She immediately stood up, her familiar green eyes clouding up with something I really didn't want to acknowledge. I hated that expression. It didn't mean good.

But what could've happened?

Everything had been perfectly fine this morning.

"Grandma." I urged her to tell me whatever that was wrong. Why wasn't she telling me?

"John...he fainted."

I looked at her in surprise. In clear astonishment.

Grandpa.

Grandma placed her hand on my arm in a reassuring gesture. I didn't even know why she was doing that.

"He'd be fine, right?" My voice was filled with hope. Hope that I really wasn't willing to give up right now.

I saw her eyes gleaming with unshed tears. "Of course, Lily."

She wrapped her arm around my shoulders and I leaned into her. My insides felt like they were clenching and unclenching themselves. I had no idea what was going to happen now.

This day was going along so well.

We must have been sitting there for a while until a man came out of the emergency room door. The doctor.

Grandma and I stood up almost immediately.

Grandpa must be fine.

That was all I could think about.

The doctor glanced at me then at Grandma. "Is he fine?" I voiced out the question that was nagging inside me.

He looked back at me, his eyes glazing over with sympathy. "The internal bleeding in his skull had been really bad. It left him in a really critical situation. We're doing everything we can. But there's no denying the fact that he may be in the state of comatose right now."

From the corner of my eye, I saw grandma's hand flying over to her mouth. I looked at the doctor, not believing what he just said.

"But...everything was fine. He was fine in the morning." I insisted, hoping he would say that he got it all wrong.

He nodded his head politely.

"It sometimes happens to blood glucose patients. Amidst all the stress." He said, looking at Grandma.

What stress?

Why didn't I see that? Why didn't I see what he was going through? This wasn't supposed to happen.

"He could be treated. But you'll need an operation and that could cost." He added.

Cost. He meant money. I knew how much that would cost. We didn't have money. I looked at Grandma worriedly.

"Can I go see him?" Grandma asked, her voice cracking up in the end.

The doctor just nodded.

Without waiting for anything else, she turned and walked towards the door as I followed her. I opened the door and Grandma choked a sob.

Grandpa was motionless on the bed. Of course, he was in coma. It looked like I could shake him and he would wake up. But that wasn't true. The doctor was right. I stood motionless as Grandma seated herself on the nearby chair.

"Oh, John, what happened to you?" Grandma whispered.

I rubbed the wetness off my cheeks. Grandma needed reassurance right now. And I needed to be strong for her. At least, for now.

"Grandma, we can get money. Grandpa can be treated. He'll be fine." I spoke up.

She looked at me with tearstained eyes. "How are we supposed to get this much money?"

I knew she was right. But there must be a way. There's always a way.

×××××

We were back home and it was almost around night right now. I couldn't get my head away from all of it that had happened today. I wanted to let out the breath I had been holding since I heard the news about grandpa. But it was just stuck with the lump in my throat.

The doctor had suggested to take grandma home. That was the best for her right now. Grandma hadn't eaten anything. She just went to bed. I wasn't myself in a mood to eat anything either.

I was wide awake in my bed. Looking up at the ceiling.

Grandpa and grandma were the only ones I had. I didn't want to lose them. They were the most precious things in my life.

The only people I had.

I felt my eyes stinging as I blinked. I hated crying. It just made me think that I've lost all hope. I didn't want this to get even more worse. I didn't want to lose hope. I missed Grandpa and I wished I could do something to save him. To wake him up.

I closed my eyes as thousand helpless thoughts invaded my brain.

×××××

"I'm really sorry to hear that, Lily." Stella said, hugging me sideways.

I inhaled deeply, closing my eyes. Stella was my best friend. My only friend who was there with me through everything.

It was the next morning and grandma had been asleep. Instead of waking her up, I had come to Stella's house. I was in no mood staying in bed and just thinking about what else might break apart. Her house was close by and she was the only person I could think of going to right now.

"I don't know what to do." I whispered.

She looked at me sympathetically.

"Maybe I know what you could do." Evelyn said, peeking at us from above her magazine.

Evelyn was Stella's twin. She usually was out of the house, but whenever she was here, she acted as if she wasn't. Totally opposite of Stella.

I looked at Evelyn.

"I heard how there's a person. He could help you." She added, giving me a completely blank look.

Evelyn had always been the emo type. While Stella was always the cheerful one. They almost were the opposites.

This time, I looked at Stella in confusion.

"What do you mean, Eve?" Stella muttered, glancing at her sister.

"You know, Ace Morwood."

I kept on looking at her, clueless as to what she was talking about. Until Stella's eyes widened and she straightened up. "Shut up, Eve."

Evelyn just shrugged in response.

"Who's him?" I asked, clearly hating the fact that I knew nothing about this guy when they both did.

Stella passed me the exact same expression she was giving her sister few seconds ago. It really made me want to shut up.

"No one. Evelyn is just talking shit." She dismissed the topic.

"What if he could help me?" I asked.

She shook her head, letting out a chuckle. "Oh, Lily. He won't just help you, he'd do more than that."

"I'd let him do that to me anytime." I heard Evelyn mutter to herself. Stella glared at her once again.

I sighed and leaned back against Stella's bed. "Fine. Whatever that is supposed to mean." I said. "Other than that, isn't there...anything else I could do? Any job?"

That seemed like the only other choice.

"I think–" Stella started.

"Stella, your desk is a mess!" Her mom shouted from downstairs.

Stella quickly stood up. "Meet me outside the library tomorrow. Maybe I could get you one."

A slight trickle of hope rose inside me.

Maybe.

The grammar is horrible. I have no clue if this is a language barrier or not. Also the main character is a completely naive and just stupid. Everything is right in her face and she one point sees it then the next nope everything is fine. I can’t finish reading it’s just a no. Not recommend.

Lily's POV"It's one of my favorite places here and I love it." Stella said, leading me on the street.I was walking beside her as we left the library, where she had asked me to be this morning. We were hopefully about to reach the place she had been constantly bickering about.I couldn't help but notice the cold breeze today. The clouds looked like they might burst any moment. It had been like this the past few weeks, raining frequently.I wrapped my arms around my peach sweater. I had chosen a casual wear, my peach sweater, jeans and my sneakers. I would've pulled a hoodie over myself but I'm not sure Stella would've taken me along that way. She was that kind of person who didn't go around anywhere without her heels."Believe me, the croissants there are just amazing!" She continued.I hadn't slept much last night. My mind had been filled up with thousands of those questions and disturbing thoughts. I wanted grandpa to be fine. I wanted my family back again. I wasn't paying much at

Lily's POVI was wide awake. Laying on my bed and looking up at the ceiling. At our family. Mom, Dad and me.I still remembered that day when we had taken that picture. We had gone off to the beach and stayed in one of the cabins there. I still remembered when a crab had bitten my finger and I had cried. And I still remembered how my mother had shushed me and how my father had bought me a stick of candy floss to make me smile.That crab bite had hurt a lot. Stupid crab.A smile crept up on my face. Even if the crab bite was painful, it was still the best day. And then mom had asked a random girl to take our picture. Mom and Dad were looking in the camera, while I was looking at them.I had only been four back then. Just four and so young.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.I hadn't known if I should've gone back to the bakery. I wasn't even sure if Steve would've wanted me back again after my sudden outburst yesterday. I had just ran off, without giving him any explanation.And

Lily's POV"Here you go." I directed a small smile towards the lady before placing her order on her table.Phew. This shit was hard.It was quite a lot of hard work. Especially when you had to go from one table to another in just a second. Or sometimes, even in a mini second.I pulled back a strand of my hair away from my face. I'm sure I looked like a total mess. I had told grandma about my job in the morning. Of course, she hadn't looked anywhere near pleased with it. But I had to do this. I needed to help grandpa.What I had said was, "It's okay. I want to do it willingly, Grandma. By the way, these vacations are boring me anyways and I don't even find these books interesting nowadays."She had nodded and accepted it all. I knew she wasn't believing me. Especially on the last part about books. She knew how much I adored my books given by Jade. But what's the danger in lying? And lie is always for a reason.I had decided to enjoy these vacations before University started. But then

Lily's POV"Lily." Stella broke the silence before sitting beside me. "What's wrong?"I was sprawled on my bed with a blanket over me. Stella had come over to my house and was now kind of getting annoyed since I wasn't replying to her. At all. I could've lied to her and said that I was sick. Having a fever. Or maybe going through some stress disorder? That wouldn't actually be a lie."I'm having a fever." I murmured, closing my eyes.Two days had passed since I'd eaten anything. At least that's what grandma had said. Which wasn't exactly true. I hadn't gotten out of bed. I hadn't felt like getting out of bed.I was scared."You're such a bad liar. I thought we didn't keep secrets." She frowned.We didn't. But how was I supposed to tell her about Ace? Him and his stupid deal? She'd just blame herself.Maybe I should get over it. Maybe I shouldn't think about it at all.But part of me knew how I couldn't do that. Grandpa wasn't being treated. Days were slowly passing by without him be

Lily's POVThe second I entered my house, all I heard was silence. Where was Grandma?I took off my sneakers and went towards the lounge. I felt guilty for keeping grandma worried. She didn't need this in between all of the stuff that was already happening.Or maybe she wasn't home yet.I was wrong when I went inside the lounge. There they were. Not only Grandma, but Stella too. "Grandma?" I broke the tense silence.Both of their heads whipped in my direction and then, they were rushing towards me."Lily!" Grandma spoke up, relief quite evident in her voice. "Where were you? I've always told you to take your phone with you."I laughed nervously, trying to ignore Stella's glare. Both of them sometimes acted a lot protective. And that did went up to an annoying level."I forgot. But I'm fine. I just lost my way." I said, partly telling the truth. I couldn't have said how three drunk psychos were after me. I was tired and exhausted and I just wanted to sleep.A worried frown formed on

Lily's POVMorning started out pretty badly since Stella decided to drop by my house. Not just that, but she even came up in my room, threatening to spill cold water over my face if I didn't wake up.That was the only reason why I woke up and trudged downstairs with my drowsy state, still in my pajamas.I was so not a morning person. As I moved downstairs, Grandma and Stella were seated around the dining table, waiting for someone. Probably me."What was so important to ruin my sleep? I literally just slept three hours ago." A small groan escaped my lips as I slumped down on the couch.That was the truth. Sleep hadn't come easily last night. Especially since all I could think about was today. And what was about to happen this day.I was scared of leaving my own house. I was scared of leaving my grandparents. "Yeah, we can see that, Lily." Stella eyed me.Something was definitely wrong with them. The tense atmosphere said so. And I was literally tired of facing such kind of atmospher

Ace's POV"I might be busy." I spoke up, dismissing my secretary.I was beyond exhausted and these meetings wouldn't just stop. Walking towards the suite, I realized how Sofia was still walking beside me.Not right now.I dragged a hand over my face, urging myself not to grain out loud. All I wanted was some sleep. At least, one hour."Ace!" She hissed beside me.I barely controlled my annoyance and looked at her. "What is it?""Lily's here." She gestured towards the suite.Lily's here?Dammit! She had to arrive today. How did I forget that?"Right." I nodded slowly, walking ahead more eagerly this time. "You showed her everything?"She nodded, a little too frantically. Meaning she needed to say something else too."And?" I asked."She was asking where you were." She glanced at me, carefully arranging the papers I had given her.She was asking about me?How unusual."I'll see about that." And then I dismissed her too.She nodded and walked the other way, towards the elevator. When I w

Lily's POVAll alone.I was all alone in a dark place. Nothing was there. The darkness was seeping deep into me. I could not hold it much longer. It was suffocating me.Consuming me.I opened my eyes in a sudden jerk. My throat felt dry. Looking around, it took me a whole minute until my vision adjusted.It's fine. It was just a dream. I'm fine.I rubbed my hands over my face and closed my eyes to level my breathing. My throat still felt dry. My insides felt like they were twisting themselves.Water.I needed water.I stood up groggily from the bed and headed outside, opening the door. My head felt light as if I had been dehydrated for days. Frowning I went towards the familiar kitchen when I saw him.Ace.And a part inside me breathed out in relief when I saw him. I hadn't expected to see him here. Not in the morning especially. Since he was always busy with his work.But after that strange dream, I was glad to know that I wasn't alone in this big, empty house.I slowly went over tow

Lily's POVI spent the rest of my life in the library. Almost.It was the only place apart from my room which seemed comfortable enough to roam around. Even if the library was huge, there was this something about the tall shelves filled with books which somehow felt comforting.I didn't actually see anyone here besides me. Which was more than fine.Picking out a random book, I sat down on one of the soft black couches around one corner.The books here were kind of interesting. Historical. Crimes. Psychology. It gave a sort of mysterious aura to this place, confusing me even more.Especially since Ace had indirectly pointed out that I was in danger. He told me not to leave this place by myself.But why?I wasn't in danger my whole life. I never remembered my grandparents ever telling me not to leave the house by myself.Did that mean that I was in danger just because of Ace?I frowned at that, shaking my head slightly. It would be better if I not thinking into this too much. It clearl
