Lily Bower: Chapter 5

THE END

LILY

 

I was sitting on that bench for a long while after he left. It took that long before my heart stopped fluttering every time I pictured his face. I’d asked Rachel who he was, and she shrugged before remembering: He’s a Tabella.

 

I touch my slightly swollen lips as I lay on my bed, his touch still lingering on my skin. Tabella, Tabella"the very name seems to mock me. I’m still stunned, unsure about what, if anything, I should do.

 

I groan into my pillow so no one hears and roll out of bed. I should be exhausted, after the night I had, but I can’t stop thinking about him. Peter. I step outside onto the balcony, relishing the sound of his name. The fresh air hits my flushed cheeks delightfully.

 

Nearly tripping over my nightgown, I lean over the balcony edge and sigh deeply.

 

A whispered greeting comes from a tree next to me, and I jump wildly away and let out a shriek. Falling wretchedly off balance, I catch that beautiful face watching in abject horror as I tumble over the railing.

 

The wind whips around my nightgown as I fall, terror running through me as I fall five stories. I can’t seem to muster a scream, and it all ends too fast as my head is crushed like a Halloween pumpkin.

Author's Note

So I decided to finish, but give this an ending. Unless I should continue after all? Maybe later, but please review!
