Taking It Back || A Mirror Lake Starter

Lilith had listened to what the rest of the group thought about Oliverâs careless mistake that lead to revealing her through identity to the media; Morgan had to keep Luke from taking a flight to kick Oliverâs ass as he was convinced that the rapper did it on purpose because he wanted to control some aspect of her life, she knew Wyatt and Jazz thought the exact same and even Owen did, even though he had mostly kept his thoughts to himself to prevent Lilith of having more stress into her life. But as days passed and she got the time to slow down, rewind and examinee her relationship with Oliver, she finally realized that her friends were right; Oliver had always been pushy when he wanted Lilith to do something for him, he never let her say no and perhaps now that he saw she was happy living life the way she wanted perhaps he thought he could affect her to take back control over her but if that was his plan, it had backfired.
As the singer walked off stage with one of her best friends, she couldnât help but laugh softly at Wyattâs bright smile as he ordered a glass of water and said something to her, âJust what the doctor ordered right? You did wonderfully Lilith.â He said and she smiled brightly at him. Lilith was extremely grateful that Wyatt was the one guy in her group of friends that liked to dance and had no issue with dancing in front of a crowd. His moves during her songs only made the experience much happier as the duo interacted on stage and laughed eventually at silly things.
âThank you⌠but hey, it was only improved a lot by you and your moves. You made the show amazing⌠thank you for thatâŚâ she said softly and smiled at him, hugging him for a moment before pulling back and ordering water for herself. âHonestly with you up there, I felt like myself again for the first time in weeks⌠itâs been difficult.â She said softly and shook her head before looking at Owen who was talking to her brother.
âI feel guilty, Wyatt⌠Owen kept himself from seeing Ali for two weeks⌠and for what? All of this was stupidâŚ. None of this wouldâve happened If I just⌠I donât know, I guess I should have realized a long time ago that Oliver isnât really a friend.â
âShhhh stop complimenting me on your night!â Wyatt frowned and waved towards her. Wyatt was constantly surprised by womenâs, especially Lilithâs, insistence on turning attention from the person that deserved it most of all. It was her set. He had helped her with choreography, and that was all. She had a lot of directorial work with, and she had a lot of work into it. Sure he did work hard, and he was proud of himself. However, it wasnât about him. It was her music! She had made all of that hard work become something! âI did enjoy dancing with you again. I missed doing that. i work out with the boys too much. I should start dancing with you again.â
The way that Lilith looked towards Owen hurt his heart. The six pack had been separated because Oliver decided to be an asshole. He had been infuriated when Lilith had to give in and go into hiding. It wasnât fair that Lilithâs life had been upended by someone that actually didnât give a damn about her, because if he did he would have been far more careful about keeping his secret. Oliver only cared about his image of her.
He shoved Lilith softly before shaking his head, âStop that. You trusted an ex. You should be able to do that. Exes shouldnât be assholes who only care about themselves.â He rolled his eyes before turning to her. âIâm not going to baby you of course. I do think you should think about what Owen sacrificed only so you remember just how much he cares about you. However, other than that you couldnât have expected this. He would have done this no matter if you trusted him or not. Youâre just a good enough person to believe that he might not do something that awful. People arenât going to remember him well.â
