*Time Skip 1 week*
That day we spent getting to know each other a bit more other than what we already knew. I found out he was in a band with these kids in my Science class named Oliver and Emmett. He told me they were still looking for a lead singer though.
Now that leads me to where we are now. I'm sitting in Sam's garage with his band mates, who are actually really nice by the way, thinking of what they're going to do.
Sam- we've been looking for a lead singer for a while now but we can't find one
Lilliana- you'll find someone eventually
Emmett- hey, I think I got some lyrics for another song
Sam- what's it called?
Emmett- Something in the Way You Move
Lilliana- that sounds cool
Oliver- do the lyrics go with the beat we made the other day?
Emmett- it should, we just need someone to sing it for us
Sam- Lilli...
Lilliana- why me?
Oliver- it's just to see if the lyrics fit
Sam- yeah, I would go get Kristy but... that's a no. And Olivia normally would because she actually has a decent voice, but she's with Charlie
Lilliana- *sigh* fine... I guess so
Sam- yes! Thank you
Lilliana- what are friends for?
Oliver- ok, we'll play the beat and you start whenever you want
Lilliana- ok
They start playing their instruments Emmett and a Sam at bass guitar and Oliver at the Drums. I look at the lyrics and process them for a minute, and then start singing.
Lilliana:
It's the strangest feeling, feeling this way for you
But something in the way you move
Something in the way you move
The boys stopped playing in the middle of the song so I stopped singing. I looked at the boys and they all looked really excited.
Lilliana- why are you looking at me like that?
I looked at Sam and he looked me in the eyes. He grabbed my shoulders and stared me down. I awkwardly just looked at him.
Sam- you.are.absolutely.amazing. We need you!
Lilliana- are you sure? There's so many other people that are capable of doing it, and people better than me
Sam- we have asked almost everyone at school and either they auditioned and weren't good, or they weren't interested in the band.
Oliver- and besides, you're one of our friends, it would be some quality bonding time
Lilliana- ok, that was really cheesy
Emmett- I agree, but you would be amazing at it!
Sam- how about you sleep on it? You have your sleepover with Kristy and Mary Anne today, and Im staying over at Oliver's. Talk to the girls about it and get their opinion
Lilliana- ok... I'll think about it, I promise
Oliver- good, now we should get going, and you shouldn't keep Kristy waiting, you know how she is
Lilliana- *laughing* see you at school tomorrow boys
I hug them and wave goodbye as they leave through the front door. I grab my bag that I left by the door and walk upstairs into Kristy's room to see her and Mary Anne already there.
Lilliana- hey guys!
Mary Anne- hey Lilli, did you just get here?
Kristy- no, she was hanging out with Sam and his band mates
Mary Anne- oh, are you in the band
Lilliana- well... not necessarily, but I need to talk to you two about something... or a couple things really
Kristy- ok, go ahead
Ok-
Before I start this I want to tell you something about me that I will tell Kristy and Mary Anne in approximately... 5 ish minutes.
Anyway... if you haven't noticed, I don't really eat anything... sooooo I have anorexia...
I know, I might sound like a freak to you, and sometimes I think that myself, but I've had it for a couple years now, and I'm starting to get a little bit better. As of right now I eat maybe around 3 granola bars a day, and I drink some lemonade or water, which ever I decide to have.
This all started when I was younger. I never really ate that much, but a couple years ago it got so bad to the point I wouldn't eat anything at all. My mom took me to the doctor and they told me I had anorexia. They put tubes in me that sent some supplements of food in me, but I had to actually start eating. A lot of the time when this first started, if I ate too much I would throw it all up. That still happens but only if I eat WAY too much.
Anyway, back to Kristy and Mary Anne. You may be wondering why I'm telling them this... well I trust them. And you also may be wondering why I don't tell Sam because after all, he is one of my best friends. Well... the last time I told my best friend they told everyone in my school. It was manageable but every day I would get some sort of name calling.
I didn't really care, but when Stacey got diabetes, the bullying got so bad we had to leave New York and come to Stoneybrook. Neither one of us talk to our ex best friends because they both betrayed us... but I'm not gonna lie, I miss Alyssa...
Lilliana- umm. So I'm telling you this because I trust the both of you... I haven't told anyone this and nobody knows except Stacey and my parents... and the kids at my old school
Mary Anne- why does this sound bad?...
Lilliana- uhh... I'm anorexic
Kristy- woah...
Mary Anne- ok... one I'm really sorry to hear that... But to be honest, it was a little bit noticeable
Lilliana- really?
Kristy- well yeah. Whenever you were over you wouldn't eat anything...
Lilliana- yeah I guess... does Sam say anything about it?
Kristy- he noticed it, but he always brushes it off and says that you probably just ate before you got to our house
Lilliana- that's understandable... but please don't tell anyone...
Mary Anne- we won't
Kristy- promise
Lilliana- thank you for understanding, I really needed to tell someone
Mary Anne- we're always here for you Lilli
Kristy- no matter what
We all hug, and then we watch a few movies before they eat dinner, I eat a granola bar, and then we got changed into our pajamas and then we went to sleep.
That felt good to get off my chest...
