"........Uncle Theo? He told you you were missing something?" Hamlin gave an angry chatter. "Hamlin agrees witih me. You. Were. Perfect." He put his flute down anad made his way over to her. Oliver gently touched her hand.

She shook her head,"... He said it sounded terrible..." Her voice wavered a little and she looked up at him with watery eyes," I have to be able to fix it Mr Piper..."

Oliver embraced Lily. "Lil......it's perfect! Believe me, please? What does your uncle know of music, hmm?" He lifted her head and dried tears. "I'm your music teacher, Lily. Do you think I'd lie to you about the way you play?"

She hugged him tight and sniffled,"No... I just want him to like it... Then maybe...." She hesitated, she couldn't really say why she wanted this.... It would only make matters worse. Lily buried her tear-stained face into Oliver's chest

She drew back a bit and looked away,"because... Maybe he'll like me more..." She wasn't lying, if he liked her she wouldn't be having the problems at home that she was. Lily tugged nervously at her sleeves,"That's all I want..."

"Lily....." He watched as she tugged. "Lily....is something......wrong?"

"No...." Lily bit her lip and looked away. She didn't want to lie, but she was absolutely a hundred percent confident that telling him would only make things worse for the both of them. She tried changing the subject,"So.... Do you think maybe we could start a new piece or something?"

"Yes, we can start a new peice....for your uncle" Piper replied as he rose to his feet. "But..."

He looked through his files as he spoke and hummed tunes. He found one and started singing softly. "you're uncle my like this one..." he replied. "It's slow so he'd think it 'classical'. ...And it's sad... But it's also from Disney's Robin Hood." He set it on his stand. "However Lily, if you're hiding something from me....if something's going on at home...I need to know first. I care for my students, Lil. Each and ever one and I've been raised to know that children deserve love."
Hamlin seemed to chitter as if agreeing, before pulling and tugging on Lily's sleeve.

"Nothing's going on, nothing out of the ordinary-" she started to say, but as Hamlin pulled on her sleeve it rubbed against one of the burn marks she's received earlier, an 'accident' that happened after knocking over one of Uncle Theo's photographs. She cringed and pulled away her arm, placing her wrist gently in her hand praying Mr Piper wouldn't notice....

Hamlin would't take 'no' as an answer however, he chittered and continued to pull on Lil's sleeve.
Oliver took notice of this. "Hammie seems very insistant to get your sleeve up, Lil....." He knelt to her. "Look in my eyes, Love." After she did so, he spoke again. "Lil....Love, if your Uncle is hurting you....I need to know. He has no right to hurt you!" he emphisized strongly. "If he is, something needs to be done!"
Hamlin chittered again.

"I..." Hot tears poured from the corners of her eyes, she wanted so bad to say something but she knew if she said anything at all... If Mr Piper tried to talk to her Uncle or something... What if Theo went after him? He could lose his job because if her or worse.
She shook her head,"I have to go!" She blurted out as she pushed Oliver away. She quickly grabbed her clarinet, case and music and hurried out the door. Lily dropped a lot of the pages but by the time she reached the entrance none of that mattered. She touched the glass on front doors shakily but something in her wouldn't let her go outside. With a sob she sat down on the floor and placed her head in her hands. She was absolutely terrified, she had never felt so trapped in her life.

"LILY!!" Oliver called after as the girl ran out. He caught Hamlin as the rodent flew from her lap in her haste. "Come on Hammie, lets see if we can catch her..." he held onto Hamlin and the two when after her, following the sheets of paper that she left behind. The teacher feared the worst. What if she had already started home?
Coming to the entrance, he gave a relieved sigh to still see her. "Lily!"
