Lily It Ends With Us Novels & Stories

"The doctor is helping." Lily looked at Riya. "Hi Riya." Riya forced a smile. "Hi, Lily. You scared us." Lily nodded. "I saw it. In my dream." Ethan froze. "What did you see?" "The red Moon." Lily whispered. "And the tower. In London. And the kids in the water. And you. You were hurt." Ethan and Riya looked at each other. "You saw London?" Riya asked carefully. Lily nodded. "And I heard them. The bad people. They were singing."

And then—before either woman could react—Lily came running into the room. She was a blur of motion, a small tornado in a lavender dress and white sandals. Her hair, which had been neatly braided that morning, was already coming undone, with wisps escaping in every direction. Her cheeks were flushed from running, and her eyes—those brilliant blue eyes that mirrored Justin's so perfectly—were sparkling with excitement. "Lily?" Bianca's pen clattered onto the desk. She barely had time to push her chair back before Kiara launched herself at her, small arms wrapping around Bianca's neck, small body pressing against hers with the full force of a child's unconditional love.

Lily may be gone, but her love and strength live on in him. ---------------------------------------------

All my life, I have only ever worked towards one goal and it was to make Robert pay for everything he has ever done to my family but now… it was done and I had to look towards the future. A future with Lily by my side holding my hand through it all. I did not think I could have asked for a better ending and I was grateful. I turn around and enveloped her in a hug, my arms wrapping tightly around her so she doesn’t fly away. “I love you, Lily” I tell her. I want her to know this and be sure of it as much as I am because nothing on earth is going to come between us till we breathe our last. THE END

A few minutes later, Lily said, "Okay." She took a deep breath. "I had a whole thing prepared," she said. "In my head, on the walk to find you. This whole — structured, coherent thing with a beginning and a middle and a conclusion." She paused. "I'm not going to say that version." "Okay," Emma said softly. "I love you both," Lily said. "That's the beginning. And the middle. And honestly, probably the conclusion too."

The words settled between them, heavier than she intended. ⸻ Their final night in the apartment was quiet. No music. No celebration. They sat on the floor, backs against the couch, sharing takeout from containers balanced between them. “Do you ever think about how strange this is?” Lily asked. “How something that felt permanent just… ends?” Aaron nodded. “Nothing really ends. It just changes shape.” She smiled sadly. “You always say things like that.” “Someone has to.” She turned toward him then. “Promise me something.”

“God Lily. You don’t want to tell me?!” grumbled Riri, entering disappointment made Lily sigh low wanting to give up, ducked down to untie her clothes and showed her stomach to Riri... Riri then shook her head in disbelief with the seams so thick and red on the pale white skin on Lily’s body

Lily pulled out her phone, her fingers trembling slightly as she typed a message to Nick. “I’ve made my decision. Can we meet tonight? – Lily” The response was almost immediate. “Of course, Lily. We’ll be waiting for you. – Nick” Lily smiled as she put her phone away. She felt a sense of peace and excitement she hadn’t felt in a long time. She had her answer, and she was ready to embrace the future, whatever it might hold. The journey ahead might not be easy, but for the first time, she felt confident in her choice.

She moved around and watched this happen to every item in the room. “I am definitely going to miss this room. However, I won’t have any consciousness to miss it though. But, I know that I will even in my next life, am I right, Moon Goddess?’ Lily said lightly. Her smile was still so bright when she got to the last item of the room. It was the baby cot. She stood in front of it and when it dissipated, she did too. “I am surprised she didn’t notice the name written on the side of the cot. Silly thing.” Lily giggled as she stared at the name. It was a name that was important to her. She was happy to leave with it being the last thing in her mind.

Luke said quietly. “And I won’t stop.” God met his gaze. “And you won’t win.” The tension snapped tight. Lily stood between them. Heart racing. Mind spinning. Because she knew— This wasn’t over. This was just the beginning. And next time— She might not be able to choose fast enough
