Lilith's Downward Spiral Into Obsession

== Quick Note ==
This little story was created entirely by me. It was originally going to be a cautionary tale about how obsession can lead to terrible things but I decided to change it. It's also sort of based off of something that happened to my friend a while ago, where one of our classmates ended up having a terrible crush on him that lead her into literally stalking him. There will be somewhat graphic things in here, so if you are extremely sensitive to things like broken bones and murder, I'm warning you now that those types of things will be mentioned in this little piece of fiction. But it's nothing too graphic because extremely graphic gore in writing is just... not my thing.
This'll probably be updated more and more as time goes on because I know I'll get into things that aren't just gore (but don’t worry, it’s nothing sexual or anything like that). So just be cautious. 
== Chapter One ==
Love is such a weird thing.
Lilith glanced over at the girl sitting in the desk next to her again, the one with the amber hair that curled at the ends, the one with the bright, perfect ocean-blue eyes. She was stunning, and not just because of her beauty. 
Everything about her was beautiful. Her voice, the way she moved, just.. Everything. 
Lilith wanted her all to herself. She wanted to hold her close and kiss her all over and smother her with her love. 
But she knew that would never happen. She wouldn’t ever love a girl like her. She was probably straight, anyway. All the pretty girls are. 
Lilith sighed, setting her book aside. Literature was always such a boring class, even more so when her best friend wasn’t there with her.
Adelaide, they’d say to her. Can you help me with this?
No, she’d reply. It’s not that hard. You can do it yourself. And if you can’t, why don’t you go ask one of your brainiac friends instead of me?
 The pair both knew that many of those douchebags had crushes on her. Who wouldn’t? Adelaide was a pretty girl with eyes the color of a clear sky. She was into sports, and usually very kind. Also Lilith’s best friend. An awesome one, in her opinion. 
They’d whisper to one another in the middle of class, when the teacher wasn’t looking, telling each other stupid little jokes or very weird facts, just to get a laugh out of each other. She was the absolute best friend Lilith could have ever asked for. Not to mention, she didn’t judge her for liking girls, like the others would. They could tell one another anything and it would stay a secret for the rest of their lives. Honestly, if one told the other she murdered someone, they’d help her hide the body. 
But she was gone today–sick. She’d texted Lil about how she had thrown up earlier, in second period. So she was stuck in class by herself.
She sighed again and shot another glance at the pretty girl she couldn’t keep my eyes off of. This time, she met Lilith’s gaze with her own, one full of curiosity and something else she couldn’t quite pin down. Lil immediately looked away, her cheeks flushing a rosy color that Ada would always make fun of. But she couldn’t resist glancing back at her. 
The girl’s eyes widened. But she smiled at Lilith with that soft smile, the one she’s always adored since first laying her eyes on her. She could feel her ears burning even more now. But she couldn’t help herself. She smiled back, running a hand through her dark hair to make sure it wasn’t as messy as usual. 
She noticed this and her small, soft smile turned into a grin. But she quickly returned to reading her book.
And just like that, the moment was over. Lilith wished she could’ve captured it in some way. To be able to keep that wonderful smile in a photograph, or something. It made her heart skip a beat and her cheeks burn. She wanted to get to know this girl so badly. It was more than a platonic feeling, like what Lil had with Adelaide. That was for sure. She knew that if she were to say ‘I love you’ to this girl, she’d mean it. Lilith would literally do anything for her. 
Anything.
== Chapter Two ==
Seventh period was when she’d get to see the girl again. Seventh period. Homeroom. She had to get to homeroom. 
First, she had to find out what her name was. Rowen probably knew. She always knew. 
So she approached her while she was at her locker between class. 
“Hey, Lilith! What’s up?” She asked, standing. “I haven’t talked with you all week!”
“Yeah, just been busy. Lots of work and stuff. You know how it is.” Lil sighed. “So listen. I need the name of someone..”
“Oh? Who is this someone? Can you describe him to me?” Rowen had on that ridiculous sly smile she always had when she was about to get into trouble or do something stupid. 
“First, she’s female. And she has blue eyes with amber hair. It’s curly but not tangly-curly. And she was wearing an army-green sweater with black jeans today,” she replied, running a hand through her messy hair. 
“Oh! You’re talking about Elise, right? She’s got fourth period literature and hangs out with that dork, Chase.” Rowen grinned at Lilith. “Elise is a real sweetheart. You planning on trying to befriend her?”
“Something like that. Thanks for telling me. See you after class?” 
“Of course, hon’. See ya!”
Lilith skipped away, smiling. Now for the harder part. Befriending Elise. Well, in Lil’s opinion, it wouldn’t actually be that hard, but she’s a lovesick fool.
She paused by the doorway of her homeroom, pulling her phone out. Two messages from Adelaide. 
Srry m not there with u, it read, in that quick, sloppy way she’d always type. Lil was used to it, though. Guess I got some stomach bug or something. 
It’s alright, Lilith replied. But I’ve got some stuff to tell you when I get out of class. :D 
Awesome! See u tomorrow? Ada asked. 
Of course! And Lilith slid her phone back into her pocket before heading into the room and sitting down at her usual table. In the back of the room, of course. She yawned. She’d been doing that a lot lately. Everything just seemed to be… tiring. Stressful. 
What surprised her was that Elise sat next to her. “Hello, stranger!” She said, in that cheerful tone Lilith had always heard her using. “I’m Elise! And you’re Lilith, right? It’s awfully nice to meet you! I saw you staring earlier. So I assumed you wanted to talk!”
Lilith’s face reddened. “Yeah, uh. Sorry about that.” She looked away, biting her lip. Just go along with it. She doesn’t need to know. This is your chance! Just stay calm. “I did want to try to befriend you. It’s just.. I don’t actually have many friends, and you seem to have a kind aura? That doesn’t make sense. I’m sorry.” She buried her face in her hands, smiling in embarrassment. “I just.. Suck at talking to new people.”
“Oh. Well, don’t you worry about it!” Elise patted Lilith on the back, causing her to tense up. “I used to be the same way. I bet we’ll become good friends quickly, though.”
“I hope.” Lilith looked up at the girl, smiling again. With every word Elise spoke, Lil fell more and more in love. She wondered how much more she could take before she exploded. Probably not much. 
Then a blonde dude came over to the two girls. His eyes were an emerald green, like a cat’s. He reminded her of Pandora, Lilith’s cat. 
“What are you up to?” He asked Elise, poking her in the sides. She giggled, spinning around to face him. 
“Meet Lilith! She’s my new friend!” She responded, grinning. Lil smiled and waved at him awkwardly. 
“Oh, well, hello there, Lilith. Reminds me of Lillian. You remember her, sweetie?” Chase asked Elise, wrapping his arms around her stomach. 
“Yup! I liked her.” She giggled again, sending shivers up Lilith’s spine. But there was a problem. Chase had called her sweetie. She couldn’t resist asking now:
“So are you two dating? I mean–sorry, oh my god. I’m just curious because the only time someone ever calls someone else a name like that is when they’re either in a romantic or platonic relationship. Ack. It sounds even worse now.” Lilith turned her head to stare at one of the walls, excruciatingly embarrassed now.
Chase chuckled. “Curious. I like you,” he commented. Lil tensed up once again. This time it was in annoyance. 
Elise nodded. “To answer your question, yep, we are in a relationship! And don’t worry about it.” She grinned. “I find it cute that you just straight up say what’s on your mind. I wish I could do that!”
Lilith smiled. Oh, Elise had absolutely no idea. If I said what was on my mind right now, I’d probably be suspended. Category:Literature
