Lily Hates Me: A Love Story — Chapter 29

In the next few days, I couldn't get my hands off of her. I craved her touch.

"Excuse me, you know you'd have to let me go eventually when the bell rings right?" Lily said and giggled when I nuzzled her neck.

"Nope, I am not letting you go, they will have to pry me off of you with a crowbar," I said.

"GET A ROOM YOU TWO!" someone yelled from across the room and I glared at them.

The bell rang so I walked her to the class. I felt like I was addicted to her. Everything about her was beautiful to me and being with her the other night only made me fall more deeply in love with her. My empty void was finally filled. I knew she felt the same way about me because of the way she looked at me. It was full of pure love and adoration.

I went home with my heart full of happiness which quickly started to dissipate when I heard the sound of glass breaking. What is it now? I thought.

My father has thrown things around the house and was yelling at Molly incessantly. Molly's eyes were full of sadness but her facial expression was hard. I've never seen her look so angry. My mom was standing in the hallway sobbing like she usually does.

"You are not leaving you slut! I won't let you!" My dad screamed from the top of his lungs.

"You can't stop me, I am an adult," she said, then looked at him with such contempt that it made me shiver.

"What's going on?" I demanded to know.

"Little bitch here thinks she can just walk out on me because someone else is paying attention to her," My father said pointedly.

"Is this true?" I asked. "Are you leaving?"

Sadness enveloped her face. "yes. I met someone Jacob, so I will be living with him now so I can get out of this hell hole."

I smiled. She was finally standing up to him. I was proud of her. I was sad that she was leaving me alone but at the same time, I knew she had no choice.

"I won't desert you, Jacob," she said as if she read my thoughts. "I am not moving out of state or anything. You can come to visit me as many times as you want."

"YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" My father screamed again. "I won't let you. I will kill you first!" He charged at her.

I quickly jumped in between them so he doesn't hurt her. I groaned as I felt a sharp pain on the side of my stomach. I touched the spot and it felt wet so I looked down and gasped. My hand was soaked with blood. That bastard stabbed me!

My mother screamed and rushed toward me while Molly stood there in shock. "What have you done!" she cried. "You stabbed our son! Oh, Jacob, I am so sorry." she pulled off a table cloth and pressed it on my wound to try and stop the bleeding. Molly finally snapped out of her shock and moved toward the phone. "I...I am calling 911.

My father didn't move from his spot and stood there holding the knife the entire time. He looked like he was in a daze.

"Fuck...fuck...fuck..." he started to curse as the reality finally hit him. "Shit I am sorry Jacob. I didn't mean to get you."

"You were gonna kill your own daughter you motherfucker!" I yelled and winced in pain.

He dropped the knife and sat on the floor and kept cursing under his breath. Pretty soon I stopped feeling anything and descended into darkness.

I woke up on a hospital bed with IV hooked on my arms. This wasn't the first time he sent me to the hospital and I was starting to get tired of it. Molly rushed in with tears in her eyes.

"Oh Jacob, thank god you are okay!" Molly said.

"I am far from okay, that bastard stabbed me," I said.

"I know, I am so sorry. It was all my fault," she said, still crying.

"Of course it was not your fault Molly, don't say stuff like that," I reassured her. "Where is he now?"

"The police took him in. This time, mom pressed charges so he won't get out that easily," she said.

"Good..." I said. Maybe he will finally get what he deserved which is to rot in prison.

My pain was slowly receding but I knew what would make me better. I needed to see Lily.

"Lily...could you call her? I need her." I pleaded.

"Of course, I should've called her in the first place. I'll do that right now," she said.

Lily arrived in less than 20 minutes and rushed toward my bed. "Oh my god, Jacob are you okay! What happened?" she said, tears already streaming down her cheeks.

"I am fine, don't worry about what happened yet, I am glad you are here," I pulled her to me and kissed her deeply when she leaned down on me. I wiped the tears off of her cheeks and held her against my chest. She kept sobbing which was breaking my heart into tiny pieces.

"Stop crying you crazy girl, I am fine," I reassured her.

"You are not fine you stupid! Stop saying that," she growled.

"Jeez, okay I am not fine. I died and went to heaven which is why I am looking at an angel," I smirked.

Lily wiped her tears and smiled. "That was so corny, you should be ashamed of yourself."

"I am not proud of that line that's for sure. I am just glad you are here," I said gently.

"My dad will hire you a lawyer so he will be properly punished," Lily said suddenly.

"What? He doesn't have to do that for me!" I said.

"He wants to. He really likes you Jacob and he loves me. He want to punish the person who hurt the person I love the most so just let him," she said.

I nodded. I owed her dad my life. He treated me better than my own father so I was grateful. I pulled Lily for another kiss because I knew it'll melt away all of my pain.
