*Lily*

"Lily," Tommy said leaning over my desk. "Bea you have to eat something."

"I'm not hungry," I mumbled going through the dance studio's file so I could finish up the orders. "I have work to do."

"That's it," Tommy growled stalking off and I released a sigh laying my head down.

"I'm pathetic," I mumbled before raising up to finish the orders for the dance studio and children's hospital. After finishing that up I grabbed my coat and started turning everything off until the phone rang.

"Lily's Designs, what can I help you with." I answered grabbing a pen and paper, "Hello?"

"Got you baby girl," the person on the phone laughed and squeaked slamming the phone down. I quickly locked everything up before running to my Jeep and locking myself in and speeding to my house.

"He can't be here," I whispered to myself as I made sure everything was locked and I was the only one in the house besides Prince and Cookie. "I'm safe from everyone that can hurt me. Right?"

Cookie barked and I giggled picking him up and walking up the stairs to my bedroom.

"We'll be fine," I said hoping that it was true. After showering and changing into some loose clothes I went to the kitchen grabbing a tub of cookie dough ice cream and piling up on the couch with my babies and turning on Beauty and the Beast to watch.

"Morning," Macy said handing me a to go cup. "I got you some hot chocolate since I didn't know if you liked coffee."

"That's fine," I said taking a sip before going back through the papers I was sorting.

"Lily, did you get any sleep last night?" Macy asked concerned.

"Not a whole lot," I said giving her a small smile. "I've got to go finish up the dance studio's lobby, so could you stay here at the office for today?"

"Of course," she smiled. "I'll see you later, sweetheart."

"Yeah," I nodded grabbing my things before rushing to my car.

"Lily," Arizona yelled hugging me tightly when I walked in the door. "Are you okay? Everyone is worried about you after we found out what Cowboy did, god men can be such idiots."

"I'm alright," I shrugged. "But I do have a lot of work to do before the end of today."

"Your finishing up the lobby," she smiled. "If you need help don't hesitate to come get me or Willow, we're just practicing for a comp in a couple of weeks."

"Okay," I mumbled laying my things on the counter. "I keep that in mind."

"See you in a bit," she smiled before running down the hall.

Glancing up I grimaced when I saw that it was past three-thirty, sending a text to Macy I went back to hanging the tiny ballerina cut outs.

"Done," I smiled scanning the room before laughing and taking a picture of the lobby to add to my design book.

"This is lovely," a male voice said and I jumped dropping my phone spinning to stare scared at the tall man behind me. "You truly are good at your job baby girl. Then again I knew that from watching you follow your mother around before I killed her."

"No," I whimpered backing up when he moved towards me.

"Don't be like that," he chuckled. "Do what I tell you and I will killed fast and painless."

"Please no," I whispered before screaming when he lunged for me. "Stop."

"Quit fighting or I kill your friends and your uncle," he growled and I froze long enough for him to grab me. "Good girl, now let's go so we can get on with our fun filled evening."

Nodding I let him push me out of the studio before he shoved me in his car I glanced back and saw Bailey standing down the sidewalk and I shook my head silently begging for her to interfere.

"Sleep tight," he said I glanced at him confused gasping when he covered my mouth and nose with a sweet smelling cloth and I faded into the dark.
