*Lily*

Dee glared down at me and I rolled my eyes, I then noticed that everyone in the room was quite and staring at me.

"Lily," Cade said slowly. "How do you know Nomad?"

"Who?" I asked confused before realizing that he was talking about Dee. "He's an old friend."

"More than an old friend little rose," Dee chuckled dragging me into a tight hug. "What the hell you doing hanging around this rowdy bunch of boys?"

"What?" I scoffed shoving away from him, "Is this worse than hanging around the ring and all of the big, bad, dangerous fighters?"

"Something like that," he laughed.

"Whatever," I grumbled. "Your still a jerk."

"Come on," he whined. "You know why I had to leave. Pop was going crazy and I had to stop all of it."

"I'm talking about the hospital Dee," I yelled causing everyone to jump. "You never came, I thought you were dead until Uncle said you left. I needed you and you never came."

"Lily," Dee whispered pulling me into a hug as I finally let my tears fall. "I'm sorry baby. I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you, I should have turned around and came back."

"It's okay," I whispered. "Just don't disappear like that again, I can't stand it when people I care about leave me."

"I know little rose," Dee whispered kissing the top of my head. "I won't leave without telling you again."

"How do you two know each other?" Someone asked and I raised my head up staring at all of the shocked bikers.

"I grew up with her," Dee said. "Any of you idiots hurt her I will kill you without a second thought."

"Flower," Cade said catching my attention. "You still wanna head to your house or..."

"Yeah," I smiled stepping back. "I'll call you in the morning Dee."

  Dee nodded and I pulled Cade after me to the truck, staring out the window I slowly drifted off.

"Chicka,"  Tommy said dropping to the ground beside me. "Your killing me with all of this."

"A little work isn't going to kill you," I said finishing the giraffe I was painting. "Besides this is for a good cause."

"Not this," he huffed glaring at me. "I'm talking about your biker boyfriend."

"He's not my boyfriend," I sighed staring down at my lap. "I don't even know what we are."

"What do you mean?" He asked confused.

"It's been two months and I've spoken with him maybe four times," I sighed. "I care about him but I don't know if he feels that same or if I'm just like a little sister."

"He definitely doesn't think of you like that," he laughed. "Everyone can tell how he cares about you."

"Then why does he avoid me?" I asked jumping when the door slammed open.

"Lily!" Jay-Dee yelled.

"What?" I asked jumping up when I noticed the blood covering him,"What happened? Are you hurt? Whose blood is that?"

"It's Cade," Dee said and I didn't hear anything else I ran to the ER.

"Lily," Bullet said from the cot where a nurse was patching his shoulder up.

"Where is he?" I whispered and everyone looked anywhere but at me.

"Surgery," Bullet said. "He was hit worse than me."

"No," I whimpered turning and rushing out of the hospital ignoring everyone yelling after me. I somehow ended up at the cemetery where my parents are buried. Wiping my eyes I headed to their graves dropping to the ground in front of them resting my he'd on my knees as tears slid down my cheeks.

"Lily," someone said softly. Glancing behind me I saw Tommy, "Oh babygirl."

"How'd you find me?" I mumbled resting my he'd back on my knees.

"You always came here when you were upset," he said sitting behind me and wrapping his arm around me. "So it was either here or the old house. I'm just glad you came here and not there."

"I was thinking about going there," I mumbled as I started rubbing the big scars on my arm. "I'm wanting a pain reliever."

"Not like that," Tommy said. "You have so many scars from you doing it to yourself and that itiot hurting you. You've survived a lot more that you should have, don't let your mind control your actions."

"I'm trapped in my mind," I whispered leaning my head on him. "And it's a dark place."

"I know it is," he whispered. "Cade is the light to your darkness."

"Yeah," I sighed.

"Let's go back and see how he's doing," Tommy said pulling me up and we headed to the car. After we got to the hospital everyone just looked at us sadly before my Uncle pulled me to the side.

"Did you," he asked searching me for an injury.

"No," I said grabbing his hand. "I ended up at the cemetery with mom and dad."

"Thank god," he whispered pulling me into a tight hug. "Oh and Cade woke up fifteen minutes ago and has been asking for you."

"Thanks," I smiled and hurried down the hall to his room. I heard him yelling and I giggled leaning against the doorframe.

"Lily," Cade yelled trying to get up and Bullet and Colt shoved him back on the bed. "Get off me."

"You need to stay down," Colt said. "Doc's orders."

"I got it," I said walking closer to the bed. "You should go home and rest."

"Call if you need anything," Bullet said wrapping an arm around me in a quick hug. "Couple of the boys will be in the hall."

"Kay," I mumbled staring at the ground until the door clicked shut.

"Lily," Cade said and I glanced up. "Come here."

Biting my lip I moved closer to the bed and Cade groaned before grabbing my wrist and pulling me on top of him.

"Lily."

"Cade." We said at the same time, "You go first."

"I care about you," he said after moving us to a sitting position. "Your an amazing person and I have hurt you when I shouldn't have. When that car at me all I could think of was you and how I didn't tell you how I felt."

"How do you feel about me?" I asked looking at him.

"I love you," he said grabbing on of my hands and laying it on his chest where his heart is. "I want to be with you through the ups and downs, through your little crying spells, the bad days. I want to wake up with you every morning. I want everything that comes with you. So, Lily Camila Rose will you give me chance to show you how much I love you?"

"Really?" I asked quietly.

"Really," he whispered.

"Yes," I squealed wrapping my arms around his neck.
