Lillian laid her head on the table, "I don't know."

"We can just talk… did you enjoy the movie last night?" Darren felt uncomfortable when Lillian was upset like this.

"Yeah," Lillian perked up, "It was really good."

"Well, the parts that you watched." Darren laughed jokingly.

Lillian laughed, “You were just as bad.”

"Lloyd was worse, he started it!" Darren said jokingly defensive.

Lillian’s smile grew, “I wonder how much of the movie he even watched?”

Darren shrugged. "I didn't think angels slept…"
"Did you enjoy your breakfast? Pancakes are my specialty…"

Lillian nodded, “They were great!”

"Is it okay if I ask you about your family?" Darren's face turned serious.

Lillian’s face fell. She got quiet before responding, “A-ask away.”

"Why do they do the things they do to you? Is there a backstory?" Darren felt guilty for bringing this up no matter how curious he was.

Lillian thought back to when it all started, "I think it's because my mom's jealous of me. You know when a child is more talented then their parents, well that's me. The.." Lillian couldn't bring herself to say it. She felt tears well up in her eyes, "Stuff started after I got accepted into my first major theater role. It was the Sound of Music back when I was in fourth grade. The day I found was the first time she… Yeah."

Darren nodded feeling bad for bringing this up and making Lillian upset. "What about your dad?"

She felt a tear slowly fall, "He just follows my mom's lead. She hits. He hits. It's an endless spiral, but my mom's the one in charge."

Darren stared intensely at his hands trying to tell Lillian something he had never talked about with anyone. "When I was 9 my mom died from cancer. Before that we were all happy, then she got sick and my dad got mean. He didn't love her when she was sick and he left. When my mom died he came back for me but he's never been the same." Darren felt tears burning the corners of his eyes but he was determined not to cry. "We never talked about it, heck we never talk at all. The only thing my dad cares about is football."

Darren looked up, "He doesn't even know I'm in the musical. He'd kill me if he knew."

Lillian hugged Darren. She felt it was the right thing to do, and she really didn't have any words to express how she felt. If theater had taught her anything, it was that actions can be so much louder than words.

Darren hugged Lillian back. He held tight trying not cry but buried his head in her shoulder just in case he did.

Lillian felt as Darren held her tight. She held him and felt as the tears slipped down her face and dripped from her chin.

Darren sniffed and tried to make it seem as though he wasn't crying, "Someday we won't have to deal with any of this, I promise."

Lillian nodded. She didn't try to hide her tears, "I hope that day comes soon."
