LW's Younger Sister

9 - Lessi Finds Out

(A/N: Trigger Warning ! SH !)

Lila takes the bed closest to the window on the left side of the room and unpacks her stuff

Soon Alessia comes to the room and unpacks too

Lila sits on her bed

Alessia: I'm sorry about earlier it was stupid.
Lila: No it wasn't. I get it.

Alessia sits with her

Alessia: * smirks* Y'know.... We could start making use of these beds baby.
Lila: * chuckles* Lessi.
Alessia: What you don't like the idea of that?
Lila: No I do. But not right now. We have training.
Alessia: Ok.

There's a knock on the door

Alessia opens it

It's Chloe and Lauren

Lauren: We're going to the relaxation room it you two want to join us.
Lila: Let me take my jacket off and I'll be right there.
Chloe: Ok Lils. Less you coming?
Alessia: I'm gonna find Ella maybe.
Lauren: Ok well we'll see you downstairs then.
Alessia: Yeah ok.

Lauren and Chloe leave and Alessia shuts the door

Lila takes her puffer jacket off

(Remember, Lila has black Nike shorts with her peach Lioness training shirt and peach and blue Lioness puffer jacket on)

Alessia sees the scars and cuts on her wrist

Alessia: Lila what's on your wrist?
Lila: Oh nothing.
Alessia: It doesn't look like nothing.
Lila: It is nothing.

Lila grabs her old City hoodie and puts it on before grabbing her headphones and phone

Lila puts her headphones around her neck and then leaves

In the relaxation room

Lila walks in and finds Chloe and Lauren playing at the ping pong table

She joins them

Lauren: Lils join my team. I'm winning.
Lila: * chuckles* We'll see about that mate. Chlo give me a bat.

Chloe gives Lila a ping pong bat 🏓

They start playing and Lila is beating Lauren

Lila: * laughs* Laur you suck at this.
Lauren: * laughs* Shut up. No I don't.
Chloe: * smiles* This is so entertaining to watch.

They all laugh

Alessia walks in with Ella clearly talking about Lila

Lila, Lauren and Chloe notice but ignore it, Lauren and Chloe thinking its about something else

They keep playing, taking it in turns, Lauren against Chloe, Chloe against Lila, Lauren against Lila

Lila beats both of them and Lauren beats Chloe

Lila: * laughs* Ok I think we should break the tie. Come on Laur.
Lauren: Your on Lils.

Lila beats Lauren

Lila: * smiles* I win. Haha!
Chloe: * laughs* Well done Lils.
Lauren: * smiles* Good game Lila.
Lila: * chuckles* Good game.

With Alessia

Alessia is sat with Ella playing Fifa

Alessia: I'm really worried though Ella. What if she's hurting herself and I can't help her?
Ella: You help by being there. She has someone to turn to. I'm sure she's fine. Lilas strong. Plus I don't think she'd do that.
Alessia: I saw cuts and scars in her wrists.
Ella: Does she have a pet? Like a cat?
Alessia: Yeah. Florence. But I don't think Flo would do that.
Ella: I don't know then. Just don't worry about it.
Alessia: Yeah.

With Lila

Lila: Um I'm just gonna to the toilet. I'll be back.
Chloe: Alright.

Lila leaves

She's goes to the bathroom in her and Alessias room and locks the door

Lila makes herself throw up

Lila sits back, leaning against the wall

Lila: * has tears in her eyes, sighs heavily and tilts her head back against the wall*

Lila grabs her pen knife

She makes a few cuts on her wrists, inner thighs and forearms, not too deep that they bleed a lot but deep enough to make it bleed a little and leave a mark and scars

Lila cleans off her pen knife and puts it in her pocket

Lila goes back downstairs, pretending she didn't do anything and that she's ok

She sits with Lauren and plays Jenga

Lauren: You alright mate?
Lila: Yeah I'm ok.
Lauren: Really?
Lila: * stays silent*
Lauren: Lils what's going on?
Lila: I'm fine.
Lauren: Ok...
Lila: Do you think Lessis mad at me?
Lauren: Why? Do you?
Lila: Part of me does. I feel guilty.
Lauren: Why?
Lila: She wanted to share a room with me and she got upset when I said I hoped I got roomed with you, Chloe or G.
Lauren: * chuckles* Alessias clingy.
Lila: * smiles and rolls her eyes* Shut up. It's cute sometimes.
Lauren: Yeah only the times when you don't think she's mad or whatever.
Lila: Yeah. But based off of what I said. Do you think she's mad at me?
Lauren: I mean she has nothing to be mad about. Your sharing a room.
Lila: Yeah we are but I feel like she's still pissed off with me.
Lauren: I'm sure she isn't.

Sarina walks in and announces that they're going to have an ice bath

Lila and the others go to their rooms

Lila gets changed (she's wearing her black bikini, putting on black Adidas shorts over it) and then grabs a towel

Lila goes to leave but Alessia grabs her arm

Alessia: Baby wait. We should talk.
Lila: * nods yes* Ok.

They sit on Alessias bed

Alessia: Have you been hurting yourself?
Lila: * lowers her head*
Alessia: How long have you been doing it?
Lila: * has tears in her eyes and sighs* I don't know. I don't know how long I've been self-harming.
Alessia: Show me where.
Lila: Less--
Alessia: Lils I'm serious.

Lila rolls down her shorts and shows her wrists and arms

Alessia: * worried* Lila....

Lila pulls her shorts back up

Lila: I make myself throw up too.
Alessia: Why?
Lila: Because I fucking hate myself Less.

There's a silence

Lila: I'm going downstairs. Don't tell anyone. Even Ella.

Lila leaves

Outside

Lila puts her towel with Lauren and Chloes

Ella: Oi Lila! Get in here!!
Lila: * chuckles* Coming.
Leah: It's fucking freezing.
Lila: Drama queen.

Lila jumps into the ice bath, splashing some of the girls

Lila: * swims up and sighs heavily* Bloody hell.
Chloe: * laughs and shivers* I think you just made yourself ten times colder than us Lils.
Lila: * smiles and shivers* Yep. Probably.

Alessia soon joins them

Lila can tell Alessias been crying

Alessia chats with some of the girls, all whilst looking over at Lila a few times
