Unloved But Unforgotten

Chapter 14

- Lillian's POV -

I opened the bigger box first.

"A LAPTOP!?" I yelled, not sure if I was seeing correctly.

Demi and Dallas nodded.

it was a very nice laptop and had a camera in it.

I grabbed the other box and almost cried when I opened it to see the newest black iPhone.

I bit my bottom lip as it quivered.

Demi came over and hugged me.

Dallas stood there awkwardly so when Demi let go, I rushed over to her and hugged her.

she was shocked at first and her body was tensed but after a few seconds, she relaxed and hugged me back.

something deep down in my heart made me speak.

"I love you guys." I mumbled.

I didn't mean to say it but it just came out.

I haven't said those words since my mother was alive.

this made Demi cry and..... even Dallas was crying.

this shocked me.

a lot.

Dallas tried to hide her tears but she couldn't hold it in.

we all hugged, including Mackenzie.

"I have something for you too." Mackenzie smiled.

"Go get it." Demi said.

Mackenzie nodded and ran out of the room.

she quickly ran back into the room with a small box.

I opened it and saw an iPhone case.

"I paid for it with my own money." Mackenzie said.

I looked at Demi who nodded in response.

it was customized with my name on it.

Lillian Jest Lovato.

that's what it said.

"How do you guys know my middle name?" I asked them.

"Your birth certificate." Dallas said, wiping her tears away.

"What does 'Jest' mean?" Demi asked me.

"The object of laughter" I said.

"Can we call you Jest?" Demi asked me.

I laughed. "Sure, if you want to die!" I laughed out.

"What about Lily?" Dallas asked me.

I shrugged. "I guess that's not bad."

we all stood there smiling like idiots.

"So your phone is already set up and we have wifi for the laptop and phone." Demi said.

I nodded and smiled bigger than I have ever smiled in my life.

"Well, you should probably put your shoes on and any jewelry that you want while I finish getting ready." Demi said.

I nodded and she left the room, followed by Dallas.

Mackenzie stayed with me though.

I put on my shoes and laced them up.

I sprayed a little of the perfume on me and put on the necklace that spelled my name.

i put rings on both my middle fingers and a little pinkie ring on my left pinkie.
