Jace Soloman

He walked into the Cafe, stomach growling. Jace sat down, and ordered a croissant. Then, he waited patiently for Lilly to come.

Lillyann Sanchez

Lilly sat across from him and ordered a biscuit not really liking croissants. She smiled at Jace.

''I wanna know more about you.'' she said breaking the silence.

Jace Soloman

He picked at the flaky croissant, then looked up.

"Okay, well, I was abused by my parents as a kid. I have a sister, Leslie, who I was talking to before on Skype. My parents are currently in jail, and before my dad was dragged away, he gave me this."

He fingered the mark on his eye and took a small bite of the pastry, smiling back at her.

"And, as you probably know, Snow and I used to go out, but I broke up with her when she tried to get me to join the gang."

He was silent for a moment.

"How about you?"

Lillyann Sanchez

Lilly listened as she picked pieces off the biscuit and eating the little pieces.

''Thats sad.'' was all she could say to his story though hers was similar but not exact.

''Well, Ive been in and out of foster homes since I was 5, my best friend, Veronica, we were friends since we were two. The foster homes we've been in together, refusing to leave each other. Uh... two years ago we got into an accident and she got hurt bad, paralized from her waist down. I got hurt but it was just some scars that healed and some bruises that healed. But ever since then ive refused to leave her til she told me that she didnt need me to be around all the time.'' she said as she looked at the biscuit she had in front of her.

''And ive been waiting for a call from her since last night, for her to wish me a happy birthday. Since today im 18'' she kept looking at the biscuit til she looked up at him. ''Dont make a big deal of it though.'' she added.

Jace

Even though she probably wouldn't like it, his eyes filled with sympathy for her. Jace held her hand and gave it a comforting squeeze, still listening. He looked down for a moment at her words, then kissed her forehead.

"Happy birthday anyway, Lilly."

He said, slowly finishing the croissant and ordering some iced tea.

Lillyann Sanchez

Lilly smiled. Even though she didnt like the sympathy in his eyes she still felt her face got hot and red when he kissed her forehead. She kissed his cheek.

''Thanks.''

She said finishing off her biscuit and looking out the window as she saw Taylor and Snow.

''They just dont know how to stay away do they?'' she said as they walked through the door, both Taylor and Snow holding hands.

''Well, well isnt it nice to see a demon with the ratcheted girl? Haha how long is this gonna last Jace? Its not like you stay with any of the others anyway.'' she said and turned and kissed Taylor.

''Shut up Snowy. You and Taylor just dont know how to stay away do you?''
''I know how to stay away.''
''Oh really? Then why did you follow me and Jace?''
SNOWY shut up and glared at Lilly. Lilly shot the glare back, not breaking her gaze.

Jace

He got up and smiled.

"I'll take care of this, Lilly."

Jace frowned and shook his head, letting out a huff of annoyance. The boy walked toward them and sighed.

"Look, we aren't causing any trouble. Why do you keep stalking us?"

His words were scalding, yet his voice was eerily calm.

Lillyann Sanchez

Lilly watched both their reactions.

''We arent stalking. We came here for a bite to eat, didnt we babe?'' Taylor said as he looked at Snow.
''Exactly.'' she said glaring at Lilly and Jace before taking Taylor's hand and leading him over to a back booth near a corner. Lilly watched them before turning back around, giggling slightly.

''Do you really think snowy will stay with him?'' she asked quietly. Looking at him

Jace

He smirked and rolled his eyes at the couple, then walked back to Lilly.

"Probably not."

He said.

Lillyann Sanchez

Lilly laughed a little and stood up. Looking at him and holding out her hand.

''Come on, theres no reason to be here if they're here. Lets go for a walk, its a nice day outside anyway.''

She said smiling a little.

Jace

He nodded and smiled, grabbing her hand and starting to walk.
