The Gardeners Daughter
Chapter 2
Lilian POV
"wh..what he can't be dead he's not dead" I say as I begin to sob.
"I'm sorry"
"Daddy it's not your fault"
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" Daddy says as he starts to run towards the door.
"Daddy where are you going" I ask as i start to run after him. Before i get out of my door he's out of site. 'Where could he be' I thought, 'bedroom he has to be there' along my way there i check the kitchen and the living room but when i get to his room he's not there. 'Where else could he be' I ask myself, ' the roof no it can't be but could it...He just went for a walk i'll look for him more later' I think to myself as I head towards my room. The idea of the roof still freaking me out, i't has ever since the incident.
'Maybe if I read it will make me forget' I think to myself as my crying starts to come to an end. I look around my room to get a book but I seem to be at a loss until i find 'Alice through the looking glass' laying on my pillow. 'funny I don't remember having this before'
When i open it i find that its not a book at all. It's been hollowed out. There's a slip of paper inside the box that seems to be stuck. I try to pull it out but it won't budge, until finally I hear a faint cracking sound and the small piece paper has been freed. I look at it and on the tops there's written Gerard Way's will and it reads
Gerard Way's will
my gold ring to frankie
please don't spend to much on the funeral you need the money
and to Lilian the wooden rabbit
'A wooden rabbit i've never heard of the thing. Perhaps I will ask daddy about it tomorrow. Better yet why not now.' I think to myself, as i head out of my room to look for him. 'the bedroom he has to be there' i knock on the door no sound. 'okay not there he has to be on the roof i've checked everywhere else' .
The stairway is quite dark and covered in dust, like it hasn't been cleaned in centuries. All of a sudden a thought pops into my head 'the fact that there was a will means that dad knew he was going to die this was no fluke accident this must have been suicide'...'oh no but it can't dad would never... what was? wrong was it me? was it daddy? how did he give me the book?' while all these thoughts were whirling in my head I wasn't focused on the stairs and missed one step and tumbles down the stairs. Shit this hurts worse than anything the orphanage ever did to me. 'Walk it off just walk it of remember you have to talk to daddy about the bunny and the will'.
As I make my way back up the stairs I notice 1 peculiar looking bottle half full. Being the curious person I am I pick it up to see what it is. On the front int bold words the bottles say 'the new world's best rum' why was this up here? It looks fairly new but we never buy any sort of alcohol. Dad was always very against it. Maybe i'll ask daddy about that to.
When I initially open the door a get on the roof I see nothing out of the ordinary but I do hear a slight sound of crying. Then out of the blue I hear something smashing. I look around to see where it's coming from and daddy is stand over the remains of broken glass to my right.
"Daddy what's happened?" I ask moving closer to him
" Noting lily go back inside you'll get a cold if ya stay out ere (here)"he replies looking quite scared while leading me back inside.
"But I heard something breaking what was it?"
"notin just a trik of de wind" he replied looking ever more scared than before.
"But i found this-" I couldn't finish what I was saying before daddy cut me off.
"Anuf buts lily ya need ta go inside" he said pushing me through the door into the house.
30 minutes later
'What's wrong he would never hide things from me before' I think to myself while sitting on my bed. Is he drunk that's it he must be .But he cant he would never. If he is will he become an alcoholic like Mrs.Stone at the orphanage. the thought makes me jittery.
Mrs.stone was terrible was the worst the worst night was when I ran away.
3 years earlier
"Come back here you little shit" Mrs.Stone yelled at Lilian.
Mrs.Stone had just killed her little brother for as she said "that little useless brat couldn't keep his mouth shut" . She beat him to death with her belt. Lilian didn't think it was possible.
After running for what felt like forever Lilian found herself in an alleyway. She figured she might as well get some rest.
Until three big men approached her trying to manhandle her. Poor Lililian cried out for any help she could get.
"HEY" a short man at the end of the ally said "Get y filthy ands off er"
"who the fuck are you" on of the three me said.
then to of the men came towards frank then he confidently said "Jus' someone who thinks y' should pick on people y' own size, not a defenseless little girl?"
The next few minute were spent throwing insults at eachother until 2 men came running after the shorter man but when he scooted over they fell to the ground.
The next thing Poor Lilian knew she was dropped and the third man went after him.
Then the three men were arrested were arrested.
The shorter man walked up to a frightened lilian and said "Hey there kid...It's okay. Y' safe now."
"Th-Th-Thank you sir." she replied
"I'm Frank, what's y' name?"Frank said crouched down in front of the girl.
"L-L-Lilian Rose."
"Lily?"
Present day
'That's the day i went home with them and my entire life changed. I want that back I want to be happy again. I want to be a family. Is that to much to ask?' She thought to herself trying to sleep hoping to wake up and have this all be a dream.
