madalyn was looking forward for today. it was the day that she got to hang out with lily. she hadn't seen the dear in days, mostly because she was still in high school, and madalyn was halfway through her freshman year of college. so she'd arranged for the two of them to spend the day at the mall together. shopping, and doing who knows what else. she hadn't been to the mall in such a long time, so she figured that this was the way to go. and it was almost perfect. aubree was hanging out with austin, so it wouldn't matter either way. zander was off with adam and andrew and they were going off to a concert. she'd been invited, but she declined, saying she was going to hang out with her friend lily. they of course knew the shy girl, somewhat, so they understood.
saturday morning, madalyn found herself in bed until about ten thirty. she turned onto her side, glancing at the digital clock on her beside table that was in between her bed and aubree's, she forced herself to get out of bed. it was too warm and comfortable, but she made herself get up. she wasn't going to waste all day in bed, no sir. running her hand through her hair, which she was almost certain was all over the place, she yawned as she made her way to the bathroom to brush her teeth. shutting the door, she turned the faucet on, throwing some cold water onto her face. that woke her up, thankfully. grabbing her toothbrush, she applied some paste onto the bristles before brushing her teeth.
after about two minutes, she left the bathroom. she went over to her closet to pick out what she wanted to wear. after managing to get an outfit, she changed out of her pajamas and into her clothes. going over to her mirror, she brushed her hair out so that it was laying nice and smooth. after applying some eyeliner, she grabbed a jacket, shoving her arms through it. she grabbed everything she needed ( phone, iPod, purse, and keys ), and walked out the door. she knew she'd have to walk the ten minutes to the mall, then wait however long for lily to get there, but she wouldn't mind at all.
walking down the street, she waved at random passersby that she knew. so they wouldn't really be random...she shrugged, continuing her walk. she shoved her hands into her pocket, but almost pulling one of her hands out right away, because it had closed around her iPod. she wouldn't mind listening to some music on her way there. so, shoving the ear phones into her ears, she turned her iPod on to hear it start in the middle of the song 'beating hearts baby' by head automatica. that song was one of her favorites to sing along to; she was sure aubree got annoyed at her for it too.
so with music occupying her, she didn't even notice that the ten minute walk to the mall seemed to go by faster. before she knew it, she was entering the warmth of the mall. smelling the coffee from starbucks, pizza from the food court, and other mall-type smells, she grinned. she'd told lily to meet her up at the food court. so, taking the escalator up, she walked towards the food court. she found a table almost right in the middle of the array of tables, seating exactly two people, thankfully. hm..should she order something? she thought about it, but she decided to wait until lily was there. in case she wanted to eat first before shopping, or voice versa. so she sat down at the table, just looking around for a minute, her headphones still in her ears. she decided to just hang out until lily came. so, crossing her feet, she sat there as she waited for her friend to arrive.

________________________________________
Lily had been looking forward to today for days. As soon as Madalyn asked her if she wanted to go to the mall, she'd responded with an enthusiastic "yes!". She'd missed Maddie so much she hadn't even realized it until she hung up the phone. She yearned to spend more time with her, to just be with her best girl friend again. College had complicated their relationship considerably; Lily couldn't wait for the day that she could go to college, if only for the reason that she could see Madalyn more often.
However, the night before had not been a pleasant one for Lily. She woke up when her alarm screeched at her at 9 AM, her head pounding and her body sore. She shut her alarm off, turned over onto her stomach, and groaned into her pillow. This was going to look bad, she could tell. Sure enough, as she got out of bed and stared at her reflection in her full length mirror, she saw finger-sized bruises blossoming on her shoulders and hip bones. Disgusted, dashed to the shower as fast as she could, as if that could wash off how she felt after last night.
She got out of the shower and went back to her closet. Lily wanted to choose her outfit carefully; she needed something that both covered everything and also didn't make her look like a bag lady in front of Madalyn. She settled on her usual jeans-and-tee-shirt get up, choosing a black tee that said "love can't hurt you". Lily had to snort at the irony. She shrugged a white jacket on over that, slipped into her shoes, grabbed her bag, shoved some money into it, and dashed down the stairs and out the door before her dad could say anything. Breakfast could wait; she had to leave then.
She got on the first available subway train and rode it to the mall's stop. She got off, and walked the short distance to the mall. Stepping inside, Lily couldn't help but feel lighter and happier. She'd spend a day free of worries with one of her best and truest friends. As they decided, she made her way to the food court, her stomach yelling at her for skipping the most important meal of the day.
Madalyn wasn't very hard to spot. Her jacket made her stand out, and Lily broke into a grin. That was one of the things she loved about Maddie-she stood out and wasn't afraid or ashamed to. Sneaking up behind her, Lily put one hand over Maddie's eyes, and took out an earbud with the other. "Guess who?" Lily giggled in her ear.

she was getting bored. she knew it wasn't lily's fault; she probably had to take the subway. madalyn tried to think back; she'd never taken the subway...she would have to take it one day. she tapped her foot, waiting anxiously for her friend to arrive. one of the workers even came over to her and asked if she wanted to order; she said no, she was waiting for somebody. she watched whoever it was walk off, not saying anything more. hm...
glancing back down at her iPod, she tried to find another song. but as soon as she found a good one, she felt a hand cover her eyes. she tried looking up, but it wasn't necessary; feeling one of the headphones fall out, she heard a familiar voice. grinning, she stood up, taking the hand off of her eyes. turning around, she grinned, seeing lily. she threw her arms around the girl, grinning.
"you're here!" she let her go, bouncing up and down slightly. now she was happy; she could hang out with her best friend and not worry about anything but getting bored. "so! what are we going to do? food, then shop? shop, the food? food and shop at the same time?" she was hyper, anyone could tell. usually she was this hyper with aubree and zander, but of course, lily was up there in terms of friendship-ness. she pulled the girl's hand before sitting down back in her chair. she took her headphones and wrapped them around her ipod before she put it in her jacket pocket. she fixed her hat ( it was sliding off her head, and her hair was becoming a frizzy mess just because of it ) and looked up at lily.
"you are in control today, my love. you can decide what we do." she smiled at the girl; lily was always a quiet one, but when they were together, that didn't matter in any way. she loved the girl to death, and nothing was going to change that.
