She swallowed hard. She could almost feel the rope around her neck, squeezing her throat. She smiled a little, hoping he wouldn't notice. "Right."

Lillian nodded. She knew it would be, she just had to be careful now. Wait it out.
“Do I have permission to punch your dad if the time comes when I may need to?”
She swallowed hard. She could almost feel the rope around her neck, squeezing her throat. She smiled a little, hoping he wouldn't notice. "Right."
“Hey, I’m here if you need to talk and trust me, you don’t want to do that to Ryan.
"…Yes," Lillian said after some silent thought. Her mom's abuse was obvious, the cause and effect. Her dad's was manipulative. Made Lillian think what he did was okay, and with some hindsight, it really wasn't.
"What? Why not?" Her eyebrows furrowed in slight confusion.
“I won’t let him touch you, Okay,” he’s been friends with Ryan long enough to understand that.
"What? Why not?" Her eyebrows furrowed in slight confusion.
“Killing yourself? Are you kidding?”
“I won’t let him touch you, Okay,” he’s been friends with Ryan long enough to understand that.
"Okay," Lillian was really fucking grateful for Darren right now.
"How do you even know that's what I'm thinking about?" She leaned forward slightly, resting her elbows on her knees and her face in her free hand.
“Because I told you that killing yourself counted a sleaving and would break our promise and you didn’t respond to it with direct words but through emotion,”
“I won’t let him touch you, Okay,” he’s been friends with Ryan long enough to understand that.
"Okay," Lillian was really fucking grateful for Darren right now.
"Did I? I didn't notice. What did it look like?"

They drove for awhile out in the middle of nowhere. “I like it out here on these roads, there’s no people,”
"Did I? I didn't notice. What did it look like?"
“Sorrow, mostly. You just said things quietly,”
"Yeah," Lillian sighed staring out the window. Her body slowly relaxing itself, "It's really nice."
"I've lost track of the number of people who've told me that. I get it, I constantly look depressed, stop telling me."

He smiled and rubbed her shoulder wordlessly.
"I've lost track of the number of people who've told me that. I get it, I constantly look depressed, stop telling me."
”you constantly look beautiful,” he corrected.
Lillian looked back at Darren and very small appearance of a smile was showing on her lips, "Thank you again."
She blushed slightly. "That's not true."
She blushed slightly. "That's not true."
“What would you know. I’m the one looking at you and you’re breathtaking,”
Lillian looked back at Darren and very small appearance of a smile was showing on her lips, "Thank you again."
“You don’t have to thank me, it’s nothing,”
"Because I see my own face almost every day and I find multiple things wrong with it."
"But it is something. You should be at the hospital with our brother, but with me instead," Lillian explained, "I'm thanking you because this isn't where you should be, but here you are anyway."
"Because I see my own face almost every day and I find multiple things wrong with it."
“Of course you do but no one else does,”
