mini_deanI was the girl with the dress on who always came back in the house filthy with scrapes and bruises. But I was always very girly. I had to be able to twirl so that my underwear showed.
Lily was dancing around in the yard, twirling in her new white dress. The edges were brown and green from the grass and mud, but Ben knew as he sat on the swing that tomorrow her dress would be completely white again. It was like there was a pile of them waiting for her.
On the swing, he sat in a little white suit, trying to keep from getting dirty. Lily could get as dirty as she wanted and didn't care, but if he got anything dirty on his suit she would yell at him and he didn't like it when she yelled.
And sometimes she would get really mad at her parents, and her eyes would go white and they would apologize and get her whatever she wanted.
Lily always got whatever she wanted, which was why Ben was here still. HE wanted to go home. He knew his mommy missed him, and he missed her too, but Lily wouldn't let him go home.
She had just asked him to come over as a sleepover. She was afraid of the monster under her bed, and since ben knew how to deal with monsters, could he pretty please come over and protect her. He'd be back by morning so mommy wouldn't know he wasn't there.
That was a few weeks ago now.
Lily stopped twirling and looked at Ben. "I want to ride the swings now. Will you push me?"
"Can I go home after that?" he asked as he hopped off the swing. "My mommy is really going to be worried."
"No she isn't," Lily stated matter of fact-like as she sat on the swing and wiggled her legs. "Mommys only miss you for a few days, and then they go and get other kids."
"No way, that's so not true."
"Yes it is, Benjamin Braeden. Why do you think people adopt kids? Your mommy is going to have a new kid and not even care about you anymore. That's why you aren't going to leave. You're my best friend and I'm always going to want you. Now push me."
"No."
Lily whipped her head around to glare at him. "I said push me."
"No, you're a liar and I don't want to play with you any more. I want to go HOME."
Jumping off her swing, Lily locked eyes with Ben. "This is your home now, Ben. And if you don't play with me... then..." her eyes started to go white and a very scary smile came to her lips... "I can just have fun without you."
Ben bit his lip, trying not to whimper. "You're just being mean now."
Her eyes quickly shifted back to normal and she gave a perky smile. "I'm just teasing you, Ben! That's what friends do! Now please push me, and then I'll push you!" She hopped back on the swing, as if the whole little threat had never happened.
Without protesting, Ben got behind Lily and started to push her on the swing. If only there wasn't a huge fence around the yard - because he would just start to run home. He wasn't that far away, right? The house was just next door.
