Lily Hates Me: A Love Story — Chapter 10

"Lily wait up!" I called after Lily who ran off and went outside on the porch.

"Did you just bring me here to hurt me? What is this, some type of twisted game to mock the weak girl?" She said, her eyes were teary.

"No, that's not why I wanted you here," I said quietly and observed her face. She looked upset. Did watching me kiss Keira made her jealous? I felt my heart smile at that thought.

"Why, were you jealous of Keira and me?" I smirked.

"NO!" she replied a little too loud and too fast, her cheeks turned pink. "I don't care what you do with that girl or any other girls. I didn't even want to come here with you!"

"Yeah...sure...whatever you say, princess." I laughed. "Keira and I are over so don't you worry about her. I'm all yours." I winked.

"Lucky me," she replied in a sarcastic tone and looked away, but I saw her smile.

Maybe it's a good thing Keira planted that kiss on me.

"Besides, your lips look a lot more delicious, let me lick them," I said and grabbed her. Then proceed to bring my lips closer and pretended to lick her. She gasped and tried to squirm out of my grasp and attempted to push me away.

"Eww...get your filthy tongue away from me you creep," she yelled, her eyes wide.

"You want these lips, you need them." I made kissing noises and she made a disgusted face.

"Yeah, right...I want them bleached because who knows how many places it has been already, gross!" she said and we both laughed.

I turned serious again and squeezed her palm. "Keira is pretty, but you, you are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen."

Her face turned red and she looked down to hide it.

"You should take me home. If my dad finds out he'll ground me for a week," she said quietly.

I looked at her and thought about it. As much as I enjoyed playing with her, I didn't want her to get in trouble.

"Okay, I'll take you home. Can't let my princess face the wrath of the deadly dragon," I said and she rolled her eyes.

I drove her home and parked a little farther from the house so she can sneak in quietly.

"See you at school, goodnight." She said softly and I had to resist the urge to kiss her. It was getting harder and harder for me to resist.

"Goodnight princess, dream about me," I smirked.

"Yes, dream about choking you," she said in such serious expression that it made me chuckle.

"Wow you are so kinky but I'm not that kind of guy alright?" I joked.

She laughed and punched my shoulder then walked toward her house.

I drove home inhaling her scent which was still lingering in my car. It made me miss her. Why am I falling for this girl even though I knew she would just break my heart at the end?

I went to my room and lit up a joint since I couldn't sleep anyway. I kept thinking about Lily and how happy I felt when I saw her get jealous of Keira.

Don't worry princess, I only have eyes for you. I thought.

My happy thoughts faded when I heard noises coming from Molly's room. Anger fueled inside of me when I heard my father grunting while Molly sobbed incessantly.

That's right, one of Phillips' family secrets. My father is an alcoholic, an abuser, and a rapist. He had been fucking my poor sister for years and there was nothing I could do about it. I wanted to kill him one day but Molly made me swear not to do anything to jeopardize my future. I tried to tell my mother but she just brushed it away since she was terrified of him.

"Please dad, don't.." I heard her say.

"Are you trying to argue with me you little bitch? You do as I say when you are under my roof." He said, and I heard a slap.

Fuck this, I can't sit here and let this keep happening every day.

I got up and barged into her room and screamed at him. "GET THE FUCK OFF OF HER!"

Dad got up and glared at me. "You coming in here and interrupting me you little shit?"

"I need you to leave her alone dad," I said quietly.

"Or what? Huh, you punk? What are you gonna do?" he came and grabbed my throat.

"You are a tough guy now? Let's see how tough you are when I throw you on the street without shelter and food." he snarled.

"Nnnoo dad please don't...he didn't mean it." Molly cried.

He let go of me and moved toward her, "such a sweet brother and sister love you got going here. Or are you letting him fuck you too you little Slut?"

I couldn't control my anger anymore and jump on him. I tried to grab him by the throat but he was quick to dodge me and punched me directly at my left eye. Pain shot through my body and I fell on the floor.

"Daddy nooo...please stop." Molly cried and crouched down and hugged me. "He learned his lesson, please don't hit him anymore. I'll tell him, I'll tell him to behave I promise," she said, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Dad looked at her for a few moments. Then he decided to take pity on her. "Fine, but next time, I won't let him get away so easily." With that, he left the room.

"Oh Jacob, you never should've come in here," Molly said, still crying and hugging me.

"I'm tired of standing by and watching him hurt you," I said, my left eye burning with pain.

"I know, just a couple more years, well get through this I promise," she said.

I really hope so, I thought.
