quit

7:30 7:30 pm, august 22nd, in crystal city.

" Lily, you know you're hosting the millionaires' award party tonight." Susan Lily's housekeeper and best friend said.

" I don't know if I want to go, Susan," Lily said.

" Your father won't take no for an answer, and by the way, every rich and successful person in crystal city is going. Including Josh and Kira." Susan said.

"Wait, what, they are going?" Lily said as she got up from the couch. Susan nodded " yep.".

" I won't let my lazy, spoiled ex and his untalented sister go to that party while I am sitting here like a couch potato, Susan, go get my hairstylist, my make-up artist, And my fashion stylist. I am going to that party.".

Lily sat in front of her dressing table as her hairstylist straightened her black wavy hair and her make-up artist did her eyebrows.

Susan comes in" Lily, I picked up your dress from the fashion designer, she said she couldn't make it over here," Susan said, holding a box that contained Lily's red and white lace gown, a pink fur shawl, white elbow high silk gloves, silver high heels, diamond hoops, and diamond necklace.

"Do you want your hair in a ponytail, a bun, or just down?" The hairstylist said to lily.

" Leave it down," Lily said.

Susan opened the box that the dress was in. " How can you walk in this? The gown is heavy? And these heels are higher than my paycheck.". lily scoffs

Lily had finished with her hair and make-up and started to wear her dress. Susan helped her to zip the back of the dress and helped her put on her shoes. Lily picked up the hoop earrings and hooked them in her ear. "Susan would you pass me my gloves please," Lily said. Susan picked up the gloves, gave them to Lily, and then picked up the necklace and put it around Lily's neck.

" Oh God, this dress is so damn heavy," Lily said as she tried to walk outside into her limousine. She and her security guards entered the limousine, and then they drove off.

8:45 pm at Crystal city's most extensive and expensive event hall.

Lily's limousine parked beside other rich and expensive cars. She walked out of her car; as soon as she stepped out, camera flashes were everywhere; she walked to the golden carpet. And stood there posing for pictures, a news reporter walked up to lily.

" hi, Lily, my name is Ella, and I am a news reporter from the talk, talk, and talk news. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?".

" Sure, ask away. But you know, be quick.".

" So our first question is, this is your fifth millionaires night party, and today is your first time hosting?" Ella asked.

" Yeah, and I am so nervous, it's much scarier than running a million-dollar company but yeah I mean I am excited though." lily said.

" I noticed your dress, it is stunning, you're the only person that I have seen that is not wearing gold, silver, black, or white," Ella said, as she and Lily giggled.

" It was designed by my favorite designer and friend Brina, she is the best. And why I am not wearing either of those colors is because I want to stand out." lily said.

" Which people do you think will win tonight?" Ella asked.

" Hopefully me, I am the best anyways, just kidding, I am not sure actually, " Lily said smiling.

" Last question, what would you tell your admirers, who are fans of you? I mean I am a fan of you, you're the CEO of a company and a model for many beauty company's.".

" I would tell them to be themselves, follow their dreams and do whatever makes you happy. Bye, I have to go now." Lily said.

She entered the backstage of the building. She saw her mother and father who was talking to one of the workers.

" Hey, dad," Lily said as she shuffled over to him because her dress was too heavy.

" Hey Lily, that's my girl, this is going to be a big night for you." Lily's father said.

Lily's mother brushes Lily's hair with her fingers. "Wow, you straightened your hair for the first time, I almost didn't recognize you.".

"So, I can't believe I am doing this," Lily said as she squealed in excitement.

Her father hands her a stack of note cards." This is the list of winners. Your cousin Jane will be joining you on stage to be handing out the awards." Lily's father kissed her on the cheek and left.

Lily's mother said " don't make any non-funny jokes that would embarrass you and don't forget to stand straight and tall." she opened her purse and brought out a lipstick. " your lipstick is drying out." Lily's mother said while applying it on her. " bye.".

Lily was now alone backstage, all she had to do was wait for her father to introduce her to the stage.

" I am so happy today, we have done this every year for the past 48 years. People might be jealous of us because of our wealth but we worked hard for it. And today we celebrate the people that worked the hardest. Introducing our host Lily blues, my daughter." lily's father said.

Lily appeared from behind the curtain and took the mic from her father.

" Hello, I have been to this award party for 5 years, and finally I am up here handing out awards. Like my father said 'we worked hard for these.'.

Lily took out one card from the stack and said.

" the best new successful millionaire award goes to." Lily paused for a moment. " Cynthia Brown! Come up here Cynthia. "Cynthia climbed up the stage. She said her short speech took her award and left.

Lily continued. " Wow Cynthia, welcome to the millionaire's party, hope you keep it up and never give up. The next award goes to the best donator to charities, schools, and hospitals." another short pause. " Daniel starring. You donated 700, million dollars in total to 50 schools, 95 hospitals, and 39 charities. Daniel, you have a very kind heart and we want more people like you in this world. Come up here and get your award.".

"Before we continue our award there is a short performance, from my very good friend I met when taking pictures for the vogue magazine, let's welcome Lucy everybody," Lily said as she left the stage and went backstage.

" oh my god I have to sit down, these heels are killing me," Lily said as Lucy and her backup dancers went on stage to perform. Lily saw Susan come in through the door." Susan, what are you doing here?" Lily asked.

" Your mother called me here to help you backstage, like, can't a housekeeper, keep the house in peace," Susan said, handing Lily a water bottle.

Lucy's performance was over, and she came backstage. She and Lily hugged for a while. Lucy said in a hurry. " I will call you, I have other things to do, bye I love you.".

"I love you too," Lily replied.

Lily was back on stage, " we all enjoyed that little performance by Lucy, so let us carry on. The next award goes to the most successful person of the year." Lily, wondering why this card was in an envelope, opened it and said. " Oh my God, it's me.".

Lily's father came up on stage. And taking the mic from lily that was still in shock from excitement. " Lily as a father, I am proud of you, for what you are doing, keep it up and I know you love your job and you always keep impressing me.".

Lily's smile then faded away as soon as Lily's father mentioned that she loved her job. Lily's father then hands her back the mic.

" Those were beautiful heartfelt words said by my father. I am proud to call him a father.".

The next award is for the person that has stepped up their game earning 59 billion dollars this year, this person has won 8 different awards and it goes to." another short pause. " to no one other than josh hart." Josh came up on stage. " Thank you for these awards, it's kind of ironic how this is a millionaire award party, but I am winning an award for being a billionaire. And thank you to my ex lily for the support she had shown me." Lily rolled her eyes and collected the mic from josh.

After all the awards, the performance and so on. The award party was over, everyone was back in their houses but Lily ended up going to her parent's house for a small party her parents put together with their friends.

Lily's father had some friends over. He was talking to one of his friends as they were drinking. He said" did you know that lily always wanted to be a singer, I never let her, and I didn't want to tell her no either, you see when she was very young, she was obsessed with being a singer but I needed someone to take over my company from me and singing was a not so okay job, so what I did was, I pretended to be very sad, I even faked crying. She was like ' daddy don't cry I would do anything for you to stop crying.' i told her that I had no one to take over the company from me when I got very old or when I died, she felt terrible for me, and promised to take it over. Sometimes she forgot, and I reminded her of her promise.".

Lily standing behind her father and said " so you tricked me." her father turned around and noticed her.

"Every day I worked in that office, I always thought I was making you happy when you never even cared about my happiness. Being a CEO of a company makes you happy but it doesn't for me. You know what, I quit, tomorrow I will send my resignation letter to the board of directors. You can't control me anymore." Lily left the building her father followed behind her.

" don't you dare resign, I am your father and you listen to me no matter what." Lily's father said.

Lily ignored him and walked inside her car, and drove off.

Lily got home and as soon as she entered the house, Susan noticed the frown on her face and came to her and asked " what's wrong.".

" I am resigning Susan, I am finally resigning. And I just figured out my father was a deceiving, lying snake." Lily said.

" What happened, why? I knew you didn't like the job but why resign" Susan said.

" My father had been controlling me for a very long time. He deceived me, and now I am finally free to be who I want to be." Lily said.

Susan hugged her and said, " you made the right choice. But now you're going to be jobless, you better find a way to keep on paying me for my job.".

The next day.

Lily dressed up in a ponytail and a suit dress, with black heels.

" So you are resigning today," Susan asked.

" yep, I am going to get this company business done with," Lily said as she grabbed her bag and headed for the front door.

8:00 am blues architect company in crystal city.

" Lily, the board of directors is waiting for you in the meeting room. Is everything okay?" Lily's work assistant Kira asked.

" I called them for the meeting because I am resigning today." lily chirped.

Inside the meeting room, the board of directors sat down waiting for lily. When she finally got in.

" Sorry I am late, there was a little traffic." lily said.

One of the board directors named Jin said " you called us here, what is the situation? It sounded like it was urgent.".

" it is." Lily opened her bag and brought out her resignation letter and placed it on the table " I am resigning.".

Jin picked up the letter, tore it, crumpled the piece of paper, and tossed it in the trash can. " Sorry, Lily, you can't resign.".

" What, what do you mean I can't resign? I am quitting, I am done.".

" Lily you can't, because your father signed a contract giving us total ownership of your rights and you, so if you try anything like not showing up to work again or fleeing, we will evict you from your home, and block your bank account." a board of directors named Frank said.

" Are you threatening me? And my father signed all my rights to you, You know what I am suing you all and my father. " Lily said as she walked out of the meeting room.

She stormed through the office halls angrily, she entered her car and took a deep breath. Lily is the type of person that suffers from IED anger ( Intermittent explosive disorder). It is a disorder when people randomly get angry and things like this could trigger the demon in her making her do things a monster would.

She got home, wanting to relieve herself of the anger so she was smashing all her other pictures in the backyard with a metal bat. Susan leaned on the wall, " you smash that, girl, take out all your anger on that." Susan said. The other workers in the house came out to the backyard to see what was going on.

The chef said, " oh my, what is she smashing like that.".

Susan replied, " oh, her father".

They all looked at her in confusion.

" I meant to say her father's pictures."

All the workers watched as lily smashed as hard as she could.

The security guard who heard the noise from the other side of the building came to the backyard. " Whoa what is going on, it is interrupting my nap." He said as he tried going close to lily. Susan pulled him back.

" You should stay 8 feet's back if you don't want to end up like what she is whacking. I can remember when we were kids and she was angry she had just learned how to cook, she was angry that her mother didn't get her what she wanted.

She was very angry that she almost destroyed the entire house, but a poor raccoon, not knowing, took her food and tried running off. She grabbed it by the tail, and let me tell you that we had a very delicious meal with the best meat ever." After the security guard heard this he stepped back in fright and said "I will just wait here, until she is done.".

A few hours later.

" I'm done, I got all that anger out, now if you will excuse me I have a case to file in court," Lily said as she walked back into the house. She contacted her lawyer to file the case to the court. Later that day she received a call back from her lawyer who said that the case had been filed and would be ready for hearings in a few days.

" Welcome to talk, talk and talk news(TTTN), where we will break down the latest news from Crystal city. And today we have the latest and the hottest news. The icon and millionaire lily blues is suing her father and her company for, Ownership of her and her rights as a citizen and a person, and also for signature forgery. She figured this out as she went to resign, and found out that she couldn't because she is owned by the company and her decision doesn't matter.".

Speaking of resigning, fans of Lily, on social media, suspected her leave and resigning during the millionaire's award party. One fan tweeted.

" Why is Lily the only one wearing a dress that is not black, white, gold, or silver ? It's like she is trying to escape from the millionaires' society.".

And on TikTok, a video, saying ' conspiracy theory, is lily really tired of being a CEO of a multimillionaire company and is she being controlled. here is the sign, last year she was asked a question in an interview about how she felt being a CEO starting at a very young age she joke and said more like hell and prison but she laughed it off, and at the millionaire's award party, she was the only one wearing a different color dress red and white and if you search up colors that red signifies, it shows you that control was one of them. And white means innocence, so control over an innocent person, and her shawl was pink which signifies calm, which means she is trying to remain calm over the situation." These fans described the signs of lily being controlled and now their theory was right, lily would be going to court in a few days to free herself from this mess.".

The next day

Lily's mother came to her house,

" lily dear, you need to drop the charges of your father, it is ridiculous, I understand your father may do stupid stuff, but come on suing your father." lily's mother said

"Mother, if I don't do this, dad will never take me seriously, I need to show him that he can't control me anymore." lily said

" your father is very sorry snd regrets his decision."

"Well, he should come to tell me by himself."

"Lily you are turning back to the same heartless person you used to be, I think you should continue to go see your therapist."

"Wait you're saying I need a therapist for wanting to sue someone who handed over my rights without my permission. Mom, I think you should leave like right now."

A few days later (noon Monday, state court.).

Lily came out of court with her lawyer wearing a white suit. She was excited and a crowd of the press was outside taking pictures of her camera flashes were everywhere.

" Lily, how did the case go in court?".

Lily didn't say anything her security guard opened the car door for her and she entered.

She brought her phone. And tweeted.

"Guess who got out of court as a free person?".

She reached home and Susan asked, " tell me how it went.".

" Well the company had to pay a hundred thousand dollar fine, my dad would be in jail for a few months, the contract my father made was canceled, and I finally got to quit."

 

 

first song

A few months after, Lily had contacted a manager for her new career in music, his name was Robert den, he had helped her sign a contract to a record label, and done things like gotten license, copyright, PRO, publishers, booking entertainment agency, master license For her. She had built a recording room in the extra space in her backyard.

" so, you're done, with all the things necessary for your music business, have you written any songs yet?" Susan asked.

" Well yeah I have, I am way ahead of you. And by the way, I am about to go record it and publish it to the world." lily said,

"Do you even know how to record a song?" Susan asked.

Lily put her hands on Susan's shoulder, " like I said I am way ahead of you, I got the best music producer in the state. His name is Peter, he should be here any minute. If he comes, tell him I am in the recording room.".

Recording room 9:00 am.

Lily received a notification on her phone while she was warming up her voice. It was from vogue magazines asking her if she could come tomorrow for a photo shoot. " Yeah, I will reply to that later," she said as she turned off her phone and put it in her pocket.

A few minutes Peter came in slowly opening the door not sure if he was in the correct room and said "hi, I am peter. You must be lily blues." Peter looked like those men who are funny and love their job so much but look like they are annoying.

" Hi Peter, yes I am lily you must be my music, producer," Lily asked.

" yes I am, and your home studio is amazing."

"Well I am glad you like it, shall we get started." lily said

" This might take a long time, so do you mind if we have like a 30 minutes break at some point, and we might not even finish recording today," Peter said.

"That's fine, do you need anything else." lily said.

Peter looked around the studio and said " everything is great, I just need water and some snacks, we might be here for 8 hours." Peter said.

" 8 hours, wow that's encouraging," Lily said sarcastically

Lily walks to the wall phone and then picks up the phone. "Susan, please can you get two bottles of water, and some snacks please," Lily said.

" umm, miss lily this is Maryann, Susan went on her vacation and will be back next week.".

" oh, when did she leave cause I just saw her a few minutes ago?" lily asked.

" Just a few seconds ago, can I get you anything?"Mary-Ann replied.

" Just get me two bottles of water and snacks.".

" Okay, ma'am." Mary Ann said and hung up

" ma'am!? How old does she think I am?" Lily said to herself.

Lily stepped into the recording booth, picked up her headphones, and put it on.

" Okay let us start with the melody, what do you feel like it should be.".

After some time.

" Can you play it back again?" Peter plays it back.

" Yeah, take out the last note. now play it back again." Lily listens to it and nods her head to the sound of it." it's, okay, now we can add some harmonies, like let's double the vocals of the chorus and the bridge".

" Ok that sounds great," Peter said.

A few minutes later.

" We can continue the remaining part tomorrow or finish it today. If you want, we still have time" Peter said, looking at his watch.

" You know what, let's finish recording it today, so we can release it tomorrow," Lily said.

Peter laughed and said, " that is not how it works, if we finish recording it today the digital recording process will take about two to three weeks.".

" whatever. let's just finish with this.".

" how about you do the outro with a high note that goes like oooh, uhhh, and then I slowly make it fade out."

They finished recording and they had left the recording room.

By 5:30 pm.

Lily went to her room and sat down on her bed, she was checking her phone and had to reply to a lot of important messages that she had missed during the recording session.

Mary-Ann Knocked at Lily's room door and said "miss. Lily, there is a problem outside, someone is claiming to know you and he is trying to get in, the security is trying to hold him off.".

Lily got up from her bed and went outside to check who it was that was looking for her. she saw the man being restrained by security. " James?" Lily asked out of curiosity, She asked the security guards to let him go.

A few minutes later the problem was settled, and she let James into the house. "so, James, how long has it been since we last saw each other ?" Lily said as she picked out a bottle of wine from a wine rack and pulled out a glass cup. " you're drinking right?".

James nodded his head.

She took a sip from her wine cup and said. "So, why are you here after 5 years I think? Is it money?" lily asked.

" Now babe that's not the right way to treat your ex is it, and I don't need your money anymore, I own a bar now," James said.

" good for you, so why are you here?" Lily asked.

James got up and walked went to the living room sitting on the couch and placed his feet on the center table.

" get your disgusting feet off my table." lily said while shoving his feet away from the table

" you know, to get a fresh start with you, now that you are no longer dating loser boy Josh, you have your own house, and your finally doing your dream, now we can finally do what we promised each other.".

Lily grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled his face closer to hers." I don't need a fresh start with you, and that promise was broken years ago after what you did to me." Lily said.

" really? And how many times have I told you I wasn't myself that night." James asked bringing his face even more closer.

"Yes. Maryann please come and make sure that James over here is seen out." Lily said as she pushed James aside and walked away.

The next day.

Lily came out of her room putting on her earrings. when she spotted James.

" James, what are you doing here?" Lily said, looking at Maryann for answers.

"I spent the rest of the night with Mary-Ann in her room," James said.

" Wait, what... you know what, I don't care, do whatever you want. You can even spend the night with my maid," Lily said.

"Aha. You were jealous for a short while, so you do care, cause I slept here on the couch.".

"Ew, on my couch 'Maryann make sure when you're cleaning, you clean the couch very very well I don't want the scent of James on my couch," Lily said as she walked out the front door with James walking behind her. Lily was about to enter her car.

" I could be your driver," James said.

" You think you can handle being my driver," Lily asked.

Lily then asked her driver to take the day off

A few hours later.

" isn't this the tenth store we're stopping at in just 2 hours," James asked.

" yes it is and now this is the address to the vogue magazine studio. Be quick "

They had finally reached the studio and Lily checked in.

" hi you must be lily, I am Greta, and this is your make-up artist and fashion designer for this magazine photoshoot.".

A few minutes later lily was all dressed up in a silver dress, silver boots, and a white and black wig.

lily lay down on a white screen on the floor. " we are going to place the camera over you which moves by quickly, so don't be scared." Said the photographer, the photographer placed the camera over her and took a picture.

" Can we switch the pose up, like place the tip of your right finger on your lips while laying on the floor and you're left hand on your chest? Good, beautiful. Now cross your legs. Perfect!!." He said and took multiple pictures.

The first photoshoot was over, Lily looked at the picture and she liked it. She was getting ready for her next outfit when James called and she picked up the phone.

" Hey, Lily dear, where are you? I have been parked out here for a long time." James said.

" don't call me dear again, and didn't You want to be my driver, well act like one. " Lily said and hung up.

For the next photoshoot outfit, she wore a blue top and a golden skirt.

The crew placed a blue screen on the wall and asked lily to stand in the middle, "a hatch from the ceiling will open up releasing balloons as soon as that happens, put out your hands like your trying to catch them and after that you can free style any pose."

The photographer took the photos and then showed lily the pictures, ' it looks great, but the ballon in the first picture covered my face, can I retake the picture."

"Sure." the photographer said, he retook the picture and then showed it to lily again," it is perfect." lily said

"I think it is going to make it as the cover of the magazine," Greta said

She had finished the photo shoot and entered the car. James said, " where to next.".

" I have a few hours before I go to the WIRED magazine to answer the most googled questions about me, which is kind of weird to know that people search for you, "Lily said.

" That means I could use this time to show you my bar," James said.

"No, just take me home.".

" When have I ever been known to listen, and by the way, it would be fun," James said.

" Last time you said it would be fun, it caused me to be almost arrested and homeschooled for the rest of my life, so no," Lily said.

" Well if that's what you want, to the bar we go," James said.

" Oh God, I am sitting next to a fool," Lily said.

A few minutes later. As James pulled up to the parking lot

"Welcome to my Italian bar, right here in crystal city," James says.

" Oh my God, it's lily. Let's go take a picture" a group of people said, as they walked up to lily.

" Can we take a selfie?" One of the fans said.

"Sure." They all came together for a photo and one of them takes out a selfie stick and takes a picture.

" OMG, lily I am so excited, I bought all the magazines with your picture in them. I am obsessed with you. Your so pretty." One of the girls said.

" Well, I am glad. Now I have to get going." Lily said as she walks with James inside the bar.

" Wow, this place is huge, how did you afford this?" Lily asked.

" Well, I worked hard enough," James said.

" Will we go sit over there?" He asked while looking at a spot by the counter.

They walked over to the area where James had suggested and sat down.

" what? Why are you staring at me." lily asked.

" It is just that, you got even prettier than five years ago.".

Lily then scoffs, " You're not serious." She then asked a bartender to pass her a drink.

" Can I ask you a question?" Jame said.

"Go ahead, ask away," Lily replied.

" Will you be my girlfriend again?"James asked.

Lily, almost choking on her drink, said " what?".

" I said...".

" I know what you said, it's just that..." Lily paused for a moment and sighed. " if I say yes, will you stop looking at me that way, and stop being my driver because you are terrible at it ".

" I promise, I will stop," James says.

" Well, yes," Lily said.

In excitement, James gets up from his chair and picks her up, and then puts her down.

" Never do that again." lily said.

Lily agreed to James so quickly because she also liked him. But tried to hide it because she felt like being with him again was weird especially if James didn't like her back.

After a few hours at the bar, Lily checked the time on her phone.

" We have been here for hours, I have to go to the Wired magazine. Come on James".

At the wired magazine studio.

" 5.4.3.2 1 Go," the director said.

" hi I am lily and today I am doing the Wired Autocomplete Interview, yeah.".

" Who are Lily Blue's parents?." The question asks.

"My father is William blues and my mother is Gladys brown.".

"Who is lily blue's boyfriend?".

" I have a boyfriend right now but I prefer it stays on the down-low so next question.".

" When was lily born?".

" I don't know my true birth date because I was adopted but it was around October, but I celebrate my birthday based on the day I was adopted which is still on October the 15th.".

" What is Lily's favorite color?".

"My favorite color is blue and sometimes purple.".

"How old is lily".

" I am 24 years old.".

" are lily and Ariana grande still friends.".

"Yes we are still friends the last time we texted was yesterday morning, I told her I had finished recording my first song and she replied saying I am so happy for you can't wait to hear it.".

" How did Lily and Ariana meet?".

" it's a cool story so it was my first time at the met gala, I was excited but my shoes weren't they were like let's embarrass this grown-*** woman in front of everybody, so I tripped breaking my heels as I was falling I grabbed Ari's dress with me ripping it on the way. After that, we talked for a while and we exchanged numbers. I sent her a dress as an apology and she was like stop you didn't have to and sent me some really cute shoes.

" does lily still work for the blues architect company?"

" no, I quit, because of complications, and it wasn't my thing."

"Is lily an actress?"

"I guess I am cause I starred in a season of a movie called mystical girl, I don't think, that I would consider myself as an actress since it was a one-time job, I am not sure."

" why is lily famous."

" honestly, I don't know, but I think is because I ran a super famous company for five years, or I guest-starred in a movie, or maybe I am a model for most companies, I am not entirely sure, but I can tell I am most famous, in this city and state nowhere outside that."

There were some more questions that Lily had answered and within a few minutes she was done.

" ok, we're done, you did good lily." The director said.

" where to next?"James asked.

" home, "Lily answered

James dropped Lily off at her house and entered his car he then started to drive to an abandoned warehouse. Where he met a group of people.

he then came out of the car and walked up to a man.

" Ok, how is dating Lily part of the plan?" James asked.

" I don't know, it's what the boss said, and maybe tomorrow you could get her frozen yogurt." James' older brother Mike said.

" you guys ready." A guy pulled out a mask from a duffel bag and then opened the warehouse garage door which revealed a row of motorcycles that they each hopped on.

"Let's hit the bank," James says.

Lily was in her room writing a new song lyric when she overheard the news from the television.

"Welcome back to talk, talk and talk news, today there is a bank robbery at the zen bank, downtown on Main Street, a group of masked motorcyclists. Broke into the bank holding the cashier at gunpoint witnesses say, there were about five of them and one of them had Ander's frozen yogurt 2 for 1 coupon in his pocket. Onto our next gist lily was spotted earlier today with a man who is suspected to be her boyfriend. In her Wired interview, she did admit she had a...".

Lily turned off the tv at that moment.

Her phone began to ring, it was Susan calling on video chat.

" Hey Lily, what up, how are you doing?".

" Susan, take off that silly hat, you look like a human seahorse, and by the way, I am good. James came over, he asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes." lily said.

" Girl, are you that desperate to be his girlfriend again? You know what he did last time, I know he helped turn you from a literal annoying creature to an average you, but seriously can't you see he is trying to play you. He showed up out of nowhere and bam asked you to be his girlfriend, and your stupid self said yes.".

" Susan, watch your words. And by the way I like him, he's more mature, responsible, and even way helpful". Lily said

" Sorry, I am just trying to enjoy my vacation. How is Mary-Ann doing?".

" she is boring, she is nothing like you, she even called me ma'am, I wish she was just like you lily said.

Mary-Ann putting her ear on Lily's door heard everything and said to herself. " She doesn't like me, but I have an idea, I am going to be exactly like Susan."

8 AM the next day

Lily was in the kitchen picking out eggs from the fridge. She then brings out a frying pan from the cabinet and a small bowl. Mary-Ann comes into the kitchen " Lily what are you doing " lily stops for a moment "what did you say".

Mary-Ann repeated," I said what are you doing".

" didn't you use to call me miss lily," lily said.

" well I have changed, miss... I mean lily. Ugh," Mary-Ann said and walked out.

Lily's phone rang she picked it up.

" Hello, Robert.".

" Lily, have you recorded your song yet?".

" Yeah, a few days ago, why do you ask?".

" a few days ago? Why didn't you release a snippet of the song so people could hear a little and be interested in it.".

" oh God, I will call Peter now," Lily said as she hung up and dialed peters number.

" Hey Peter, how is it going?".

"It's going good.".

" can you do me a favor and publish a snippet of the song on Spotify, YouTube e.t.c"?

" Do you have an account in all those?".

" oh,y no just on YouTube and Spotify can you create an account for me, and tell me when you posted the snippet okay. thank you." She then hung up the phone.

Her phone rang again.

Lily grunts angrily and picks up the phone "hello! Who is it?

"Lily it's me, your Agent.".

" oh, what happened?" Lily asked.

" Channel wants to do an ad with you.".

" Tell them that I can't do it, maybe later but not any time soon." As soon as she hung up James came inside the kitchen " guess what I got, two frozen yogurts from Andy's, I got a 2 for 1 coupon." James said.

" Great, I can't fry eggs in the morning in peace," Lily said, Putting the egg back in the fridge.

" so, you said you were introducing me to all your friends and we were going to the fanciest restaurant in the city called Mamma Ella's," James said.

"Yes that's true, come on let's go pick up the rest.".

James and Lily both walked out of the kitchen.

At Lily's parents' home.

There was a knock on the door. Lily's mom went to open the door.

"Hi, Aggie." Gladys, who was Lily's mother, said hugging her.

"Ok, where is my favorite niece?" Agnes said while taking off her long black gloves and entering the house, Jane her daughter followed behind her carrying a bunch of luggage.

" She doesn't live here anymore, she has her building," Gladys said.

" glad she moved away from this dump, and with that My brother is in jail. Huh you must be lonely, so that is why I and my daughter are moving in.".

Lily's father named William then comes down from the stairs.

" Agnes, what are you doing here?" He says.

" I should be asking you, aren't you supposed to be in prison for a couple of months." She said as she removed her black fascinator hat.

" Well, the family lawyer and a bunch of other lawyers could get me out of any case," William said.

Agnes clenched her fist in anger and said: "well I brought lunch for everyone, come on let's go to the dining table and we could discuss all life.".

Agnes gave the food to one of the maids set it on the.

" So brother, since your daughter is no more interested in the company, who do you plan on giving it to?" Agnes asked.

" I am still giving it to Lily, I understand what I did was terrible, so when she moves farther into her music career I will give her the company and she decides whether to sell it or keep it, whatever she wishes to do with it it," William says.

" But my daughter Jane is eligible and ready, and she is also family" Agnes then sighs.

"Aggie I know your daughter is perfect for it but this is the only way I could make it up to lily and by the way what's in the bag."

" Oh don't worry about it, I thought lily still lived here so I brought her food too," Agnes said.

" well, she is not here so let us share it." Glady's said as she looked at William who nodded in agreement

" no, I will give it to her later," Agnes said

There was a loud sound upstairs followed by the sound of something breaking. Agnes got up and said." come on jane, let's go check if those imbeciles your uncle calls workers, broke one of my expensive perfumes."

After a short while, there was a scream downstairs.

Agnes and Jane rushed downstairs to check.

As soon as they reached. One of the maids stood there looking horrified. Jane looking at Gladys and Williams's dead body and said softly to her mother "they ate lily's food didn't they.".

" the poisoned food was meant for lily so that she could die and you get the company but Well our plan could still work just in a different way: we could bribe the lawyer and change the will. Now pretend to show remorse or we will be suspects.".

At the restaurants, James had brought his brother mike and Lily brought her friends Brina, Lucy, and Alyssa.

Mike went close to James and whispered. " She is pretty, I wish I was given The job to be her girlfriend." James slightly pushed him away.

" Wow, I never got the chance to meet your brother." lily said.

" and I never got to meet you." Mike said as he extended his hands for shaking, James quickly pushed out his hand " so are we going to order something or not.".

Lily received a call, she picked it up, after a few moments she stood up quickly and rushed out through the restaurant door saying " oh my God." " James goes after saying "what happened?" But lily just ignored him and entered the car.

lily reached her parent's house, she was greeted by a cop, with bob hair dyed white.

" hi I am Gina and I am a detective for the CCPD." the cop says.

" What happened to my parents?" Lil asked trying to hold back a lot of emotions.

" Our forensic so far shows that they died of cyanide poisoning, but very soon we will figure out what happened, but now I have to ask you a few questions," Gina said.

 

 

struggles

Later that night, James was at his bar with Lily, where he encouraged Lily to drink a lot of alcohol to get over her parent's death.

He got a text saying, “hurry up, we don't have all night.” That is when he encouraged Lily even more, to drink till she almost passed out. He then snuck his hand inside her bag and took out her wallet, collecting a credit and debit card. He asked Lily for her account number, social security, and PIN. Out of drunkenness, she told him.

He then left her in the bar, thinking of what he had done. He drove to the warehouse and met some people. Who he gave the card and the account number, and Pin.

Mike then asked James where Lily was. James said. “She is still at the bar.”.

“You left her there alone, half passed out in a bar at night.” Mike said as he entered a car, he drove back to the bar. He spotted lily on the counter, almost lifeless; he picked her up and took her home.

The next morning, Lily woke up in her bed as Susan was opening the curtain.

“Susan, your vacation is not yet over? What are you doing here?” Lily asked, trying to block the sunlight from hitting her face.

“I heard the news, so I had to come back.” Susan said.

“The news that my parents died, I thought it was a dream,” Lily said.

“Mike brought you in last night because you were drunk at the bar and half passed out,” Susan said.

“Could my day get any worse.” Lily said, then there was a notification on her phone saying she withdrew 8 million dollars from her account.

She screamed with anger.

“My day is officially ruined. It couldn't get any worse than this.” Lily said as she received a call from the police department, who claimed that she was a suspect in her parents' death.

“Could this day get even more…” Lily said as she was interrupted by Susan.

“Shh, be quiet. Okay.” Susan said.

Susan left Lily's room, and went to Brina and Alyssa, who were in the living room, wondering if she was okay.

“'She is fine, but her problem just got worse, she was robbed, 8 million dollars from her account, and she is a suspect for her parents' death.”.

“Poor girl, could this day…” Brina was about to say, then Susan interrupted saying. “Please don't say it, it would only make the situation worse.”.

“What is wrong with saying could this day get any worse.” Alyssa said, then there was a scream from Lily's room. Alyssa, Brina and Susan went to go check.

“Lily, are you okay?” Alyssa asked.

“Do I look okay to you?” Lily asked angrily.

“I just lost another 2 million dollars, sum it up, and that is 10 million dollars. One day, my parents are dead, and I am being held as a suspect. So, does that sound okay to you?” Lily said.

“Slowly back away from her, IED(Intermittent explosive disorder) is back and this time for a good reason.” Susan said.

“You mean that thing that used to happen to her as a kid? I thought she no longer had it.” Alyssa asked.

They backed away slowly until they left the room and shut the door behind them.

“Oh gosh, I have to go, I have customers waiting for me, tell lily I said she should give me a call when everything is alright.” Brina said.

“Same, I have to go, I have 6 children. Tell Lily everything will be alright.” Alyssa said.

As soon as they left, Susan walked back into Lily's room. And sees Lily crying and holding a box of tissue on the bed, Susan goes and sits next to her.

“Lily, listen to me, I know you lost your parents you have every right to be sad, to cry, but you also have to be strong. Yes you're facing obstacles, but that shouldn't put you down, there are many other people that lost someone important to them, but if they see you strong, it would give them the strength they need. Now get up; you have a lot of issues to fix.”.

“But I miss them already. I didn't even go to see my dad after he was bailed out.” Lily said, crying even more, Susan hugged her and comforted her.

A few minutes later, Lily came out of her room.

James was standing outside her room with flowers” hey babe how are you?”.

“Not now, James, I have a lot of things to do.”.

“Mary-Ann?”.

“Yes, lily.” As soon as Mary-Ann came, Lily looked at her up and down.

“What happened to your uniform?” Lily asked.

“Are you trying to be like Susan? “Lily said, crossing her arms. “Don't be like her; I liked you how you were, and you and I both know we don't need more than one Susan In the house,” Lily said jokingly.

“Yes, miss lily, what do you need me to do.”.

“I need you to call my bank and tell them to block my account and, if possible, trace where the transaction is being taken from.”.

James hears what Lily said and enters the nearest bathroom, calling his boss, “Lily is blocking her account, withdraw as much as you can quickly.”.

Lily received a notification that 9 million had been withdrawn and another notification, the thief had removed 1997 dollars.” oh, we will catch you, lily,” she said to herself while staring at the notification.

She drove to her parent's house and stepped out of her car.

She tells one of the maids, “tell me everything that happened right before my parents.” the maid tells her everything she can tell.

At the police station, as a lily was entering, camera flashes were everywhere.

“Lily, is it true that you had a hand in your parent's death?” Lily smiled at them, then put on her glasses and walked into the police department.

“Hey lily, you came, I am sorry that you were picked as a suspect, but our evidence is pointing at you, your aunt and cousin, and the workers.” Gina said.

At the interrogation room.

“Your aunt said, you were supposed to be there during the lunch that they had, but you skipped it why.”.

“Because I was with my friends at a restaurant, and before you ask any questions, I did a little digging of my own. I asked the maids at my parents house and most of them that were there at that moment said that my parents ate my own food…”  lily paused for a moment.

“That means You were meant to die.” Gina said and sighed.

“This sends the investigation in a whole new direction, thank you lily for the information, I will call you if anything else comes up.”.

“Welcome back, dear viewers, to talk, talk and talk news, today there is a huge debate on the Internet concerning if humans are really causing climate change or if it is happening naturally. So we invited DR' Manny to tell us more about climate change.”.

“Hi, I doctor Manny a climate change specialist and, climate change is both affected by humans and naturally, humans affect it by burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests and farming livestock. And naturally by volcanic eruptions, ocean currents, the Earth's orbital changes, solar variations and internal variability. But natural events are not always that occurring. Um which makes humans the main cause of the problem, and it could lead to rise in temperature, the Earth could be a huge ball of heat, insect outbreaks, that's why we humans have to be careful before effect comes.”.

We just heard from doctor Manny, such educational words, unto our next topic, Lily's parents recently passed away and people are worried that lily had something to do with it. Gibson85. Posted “I am sure Lily had something to do with it. I mean look at the picture with no emotion in her face, she walks into the police station smiling, if she could sue her father there is no doubt that she could have killed them.” After that hurtful post, Lily's fans attacked him saying.” her father literally sold her rights and if you actually google correctly there is an updated version by CCPD that lily was the one that was supposed to die.” Another supporter said, “I just lost my mother due to cancer, and seeing lily, trying to fight off negative emotions just inspired me, so back off haters.”

 Susan Lily's maid went to Twitter, and she said, “that night, lily heard such horrible news, she was hurt so much that she decided not to leave her room this morning. But she is showing so much courage, getting over it, and by the way, she has other problems to worry about, like the 19million dollars she lost.”

Well that problem is over with. Lily just released a snippet of her new song called keep on dreaming, and it is fire, it has over 15 million likes on YouTube already, imagine what would happen if the full song comes out.”
