Lily Hates Me: A Love Story — Chapter 30

"Jacob please, let me go!" Pete cried as I held him up by his collar.

Oh, did you think I was going to stop being a bully? Oh please.

"Who told you you could sit at my spot? I don't want nerd cooties all over the table," I snarled at him while he squirmed to get out of my death grip.

That's right, these wimps are still not safe from me. Just because I fell in love with the good girl and she wants me to be all Mr. Nice Guy, that doesn't mean I am just gonna let everyone walk over me. I was still Jacob Phillips, the toughest nail at school, the big bad wolf of Greenville High, the king of.....

"JACOB ALEXANDER PHILLIPS!! Put Pete down this instance!" My thoughts were interrupted as I heard Lily's melodious voice which now sounded like a roar of a lioness. Oh fuck...I thought and released Pete. He ran off and tripped which made me snicker but then I immediately wiped my smile off as I saw Lily's fiery gaze.

Who was I kidding? When it came to her, I was not a big bad wolf, I was more like a helpless lamb. She made me weak in my knees. As my friend Trayce once said, I was completely whipped.

She came close to me and punched me on the shoulder.

"Oww...why is your knuckle so hard?" I winced.

"What did I tell you about bullying people? We are only a month away from graduation and you are still acting like a neanderthal,"

Sorry, shiiiit...I was just telling him to move out of my spot," I pouted.

"You can ask nicely," she said.

"That's not me babe. I have a reputation," I insisted.

"Don't you babe me you ass hat. I better not catch you, bullying kids, again or else." she paused.

"Or else what? Are you going to spank me?" I grinned and lightly bit her earlobe."

"Shut up!" she cried but she was laughing.

"Okay fine, I will try my hardest not to bully people rest of the month. Put a shock collar on me if you have to," I said.

"Silly," she said and kissed me.

This was after a month upon my release at the hospital. After I was released, I went home to a whole new life. Lily's dad hired a lawyer who charged my father of multiple criminal offenses for abuse, negligence and attempted murder. He was finally behind bars for a very long time. We could finally live in peace. My mother apologized to both me and Molly as she let him do whatever he wanted to us. In the end, we forgave her.

Lily and I were together and our love was stronger than ever. We made love at every chance we got but she still acted shy and cute around me which was one of the things I loved about her.

It was time for our graduation so everyone started to make decisions about college. Everyone, except me. I've never thought about my future or going to college. I knew Lily had eyes on a college out of state which made me upset. She was going to leave me and I was going to be all alone again. I knew she was the only person that truly made me happy. I wanted to grab her and tell her not to leave me but I wanted her to be happy also.

"So I am thinking about going to UCLA. What do you think?" she asked.

"In California?" My eyes were dark. I was dreading this moment where she would tell me she was going to leave me. "Yeah, that sounds...fine."

Lily stared at me intently. "I got in so it's one of the options. And I was talking to my dad about us."

"Us?" I asked.

"Yes, he has a branch in California and he was thinking if you major in business he can get you a job there and we can stay together," she said.

I was amazed at the offer. "He said that? What if I don't get in? And what about tuition?" I asked.

"That's another thing. I know you are smart Jacob, I know you'd get in if you apply. And if you don't get in there are other colleges there. He is willing to cover your expenses and if you are willing to work for him, you can pay him back eventually." She said.

"Whoa! That is way too generous. I couldn't accept that" I said quietly.

Lily hugged me. "Please Jacob, do it for me. I can't leave without you. I won't. If you absolutely don't want to go with me then I won't go either. All I know is I need you with me." she whispered.

My heart was filled with happiness. I felt the same way her. Just the thought of being away from her hurt my insides.

"I will do anything for you princess. There's nothing for me here. Of course, I will go with you. I love you so much!" I held her close and kissed her. I was finally going to get my dream girl.
