2 Chapter 2
"Shut up" I groaned slamming my alarm off knocking it off the bed table and I here it shatter into pieces on the floor. I guess I'll need to get a new alarm clock. After a few minutes I got up and got ready for my morning run, I wore a grey sports bra and a black nike trainers and my running shoes. I put my hair up at kept it in place with a black beanie. I took my wrist watc ofh, out it on and connected my iPod, it started playing "Two weeks by All that remains" and took off running.
After coming back from running, I was a bit breathless, so I headed straight to the kitchen to get a bottle of water which I finished in two gulps (ya I'm that thirsty, I mean I ran 15 miles).
I went up to my bedroom and did my normal daily morning routine which consists of taking a shower, brushing my teeth and other necessities. When done, I put on a black skinny jeans and a black tank top with a grey hoodie and black Vans. I brushed my hair and put it in a tight ponytail, I grabbed my bag, wallet and phone then headed downstairs for breakfast.
I made bacon and eggs for breakfast and a cup of plain black coffee. Once done I took the car keys to my blue truck and rode to school. I can use a more fancy car, but I love to keep the fact that I'm rich on a low.
I got to school quite early and decided to wait in front of the first class, with that in mind, I walked over to my locker to get my books, once done I shut my locker and turned to go back to class. My books dropped from my hands as I stared in shock at my childhood best friend Finn Wallace walking down the hallway looking deep in thought. He looked up and froze looking at me with a blank expression which changed into shock then happiness. He jogged over to me and enveloped me in a bear hug.
"Oh my goodness! Lillian, I've missed you so much, how have you been? I've been searching for you for years I can't believe I've found you" he said tightening his arms around me.
"Can't breathe" I choked out.
"Shit I'm sorry" he said stepping back a little with his arms still around me
"Finn I'm so happy to see you and I also missed you, we have a lot to catch up on" I said pulling away from him. He hadn't changed much physically still has his dark brown hair which was perfectly styled and no longer messy as I recall, his bluish grey eyes are still as I knew and still has cute dimples when he smiles. I can't expect him to still be the same Finn I knew as a child cause I know that I'm not the same little girl he grew up with.
We talked for a while but then decided to head to class since students started to arrive. Luckily we have similar schedules which made me very happy. Finn sat beside me in all the classes we share.

"That fucking bastard, damn! When I get my hands on him he'll pray for death" Finn said enraged pacing around my living room.
I just told Finn about what happened to my parents, how I lived on the streets. I told him about the time I went back to my parents house and took my piggy bank to enroll myself in school because I wanted to honour my parents, how I suffered to survive when my money was exhausted before granny took me in and took care of me before she died.
"Do you know him?" I asked suspiciously. Finn was acting strange, he acted like he personally know who Bruce Edwin was. His name left a bitter taste.
"Yes I know him, he's the same man that ruined my life" he said through clenched Jaws.
Now I'm really confused, what does he mean by ruined his life, noticing my confusion, he sighed.
"After we heard about your parents murder, my dad decided to look into the matter and we searched for you for many years, we... we....we thought you were dead.
After years of trying, dad finally found some evidence that Bruce was responsible for your parents death, that motivated him to keep digging in.
Somehow Bruce found out that my dad was gathering dirt on him and..and he threatened him, but dad refused to back down until he finally killed him. Mum couldn't handle and went into depression till she finally took her own life by jumping off the roof top. All this happened 2 years ago and I have all the information my dad gathered on that piece of scum. I moved here a month ago I stay at a hotel not too far from here." I engulfed him in a bone crushing hug and kissed his forehead telling him everything was going to be fine. He hugged me tightly and took deep breaths. Then something clicked in my head.
"Why don't you move in with me, I mean there's enough space for the both of us here" I suggested.
"Really!" He asked surprised.
"Yeah I've been living alone for years and I just got my best friend back" I said smiling. "I'm not letting you go so easily" I joked and we shared a laugh. It's been year since I last smiled or laughed, and it feels good. Maybe things will turn out good.
I stood up and got my keys "come on let's go get your stuffs so you can settle down before tommorow, and I got to check up on the store and maybe we could get lunch after" I said putting on my shoes.
"Sounds good" Finn said getting up and followed me out.
After granny died, I found out she has a daughter and she's a total bitch. Shedding fake crocodile tears at the funeral. Ever since then, I haven't set my eyes on her. Like she was just waiting for granny to die.
It surprised me how such a lovely woman ended up with that bitch as a child.
