Sometimes Lillian does things or looks at herself, and she can see the incredibly caring and helpful person that she likes to think the she is and is often told that she is. Other times, she realizes how incredibly selfish she can be and hates herself because of it. Her emerald eyes lingered outside her bedroom window at the obliviously happy couple walking hand in hand before scoffing and turning back to her book. Fairy tale endings didn't exist anywhere else outside of books, at least in her opinion. Actually, she grated her teeth at the very notion and instead submerged her consciousness into that of the protagonist of the book. Nothing could really top, or compare, to actions and emotions brought on by the simple words on the page in front of her.
     A small knock on her door startled her out of her thoughts and sighing she rolled out of bed scuffling to the door. "What's up?" She questioned more cheerfully than she actually felt as she opened the door to her roommate.
     "A group of us were going to go catch a movie and some dinner. Feel up to joining us?" Megan's brown hair bounced about her shoulders as she tilted her head slightly in question.
     Lillian chewed on her lip as she thought about it. Spending some time with friends would be nice, plus a good break from allowing herself to be cooped up for so long. However, instead of agreeing she just shook her head slowly. "Not tonight, but thank you for inviting me out. I think I'm just going to finish my book for now. Perhaps another night though. Raincheck?"
    "It's all good, no worries. We'll be sure to invite ya the next time we do it as well, and cash in that raincheck." She smiled knowingly and walked off to go get ready.
     Turning back to her bed, Lillian flopped back down on it and snuggled down into her warm comforter. She reached over and turned on the small bedside lamp before picking up her book again and engrossed herself in someone else's life and adventures, effectively shutting off her mind to what was going on around her again.
