Lily Hates Me: A Love Story — Chapter 48

It was as if Tony made it his top priority to get on my nerves.

I was talking to my friend Sarah during lunch, minding my own business then all of a sudden I feel someone's arms wrapping around my waist from behind.

"Hey lover," Tony whispered in my ears, practically breathing down my neck.

"Get your hands off of me," I gritted my teeth.

His arms tightened around me even more. "Mmm...you are even sexier when you are angry," he said and kissed my earlobe.

"I'll leave you two lovers alone," Sarah grinned and started to walk away.

"What? NO!  Don't leave me. SARAH COME BACK!" I yelled but she waved and walked away. Remind me to terminate my friendship with her later.

"Stop fighting it. You can't escape me babygirl," he buried his face in my hair and sniffed it. What is wrong with this boy!

He turned me around and  cupped my cheeks then proceeded to kiss me but I was quick this time and punched him on his stomach as hard as I could. He yelped and grabbed his stomach with both of his hands.

"Try to kiss me again, bitch!" I roared in victory.

He took a few seconds to straighten himself up, then smirked. "Goddamn...you make me so horny," he said.

Asshole!

I flipped him off and walked away. I need to figure out how to stop this.

A light bulb went off in my head. I knew someone who could take care of this problem for me.

I took my phone out and rapidly typed his name  then sent him a text.

Yo, my ex boyfriend Jimmy replied.

Jimmy just graduated last year so he doesn't go here anymore. We went out for about 4 months then broke up. But since we broke up on good terms, we remained as casual friends.

So why did I text him now? Let me tell you why. I am going to ask him for a favor. I will even pay him. So he can rough Tony up and threaten him to stay far away from me. Jimmy was a tough guy in our school and twice the size of Tony. So there was no way Tony can win against him.

Jimmy agreed to do it right away. He can never pass up the chance to scare people and Tony had it coming.

The next day, I sat around and waited for Jimmy's text. The anticipation was stressing me out. Did he scare Tony away? Am I finally free of him?

My phone blinked and I quickly checked my text messages.

It's done, he won't bother you anymore. Jimmy said.

Oh my God, thank you! I replied.

Yup, thanks for the $100. I fucked him up real good 😉 Jimmy texted.

Wait...what does he mean by fucked him up? I told him to scare him and maybe jerk him around a little bit. Not send him to the hospital!

What do you mean? He is not dead is he?😕 I typed.

Hell no, I'm not a murderer. But he looks pretty fucked up, LOL, Jimmy replied.

Oh no. No, no, no that's not what I wanted! I thought.

What have you done, Summer!

I paced back and forth for thirty minutes. My mind was spinning. What if Tony was really hurt? All I wanted was to scare him a little. I should've known Jimmy would go too far.

My mom was watching me from the distance then finally asked.

"Summer, are you okay? You've been pacing back and forth like a crazy person."

"I don't know. I think I did something bad. Like really really bad," I said. My voice came out all shaky and high pitched.

"What did you do?" she looked at me curiously.

Should I tell her? What if I get into huge trouble? What if I go to jail! I decided to tell her. I never hide anything from my mom, she was my best friend.

"I asked Jimmy to scare Tony so he would leave me alone but I think Jimmy went too far and hurt him," I said. Tears started to form at the corner of my eyes. I was feeling extremely remorseful.

"Oh honey, how bad did he hurt him?" Mom looked at me with a horrified expression on her face.

"I...I don't know. I didn't go see him. Jimmy just texted me and bragged about it. What if he is not okay?" I started to sob.

Mom came over and hugged me. "It's okay sweetheart, you didn't do it on purpose. Why don't you go over to his house and see if he is okay? Then apologize to him and try to help him? I am sure he will forgive you," she smiled.

I knew she was right. Even though he is a total asshole, beating him up was unfair. I needed to make it up to him.

"I'll go see him," I said quietly.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Mom asked and smiled at me sweetly.

"No...I did this so I need to do this alone. I will be fine," I said.

"Well then. I am not mad at you because I know you are a good person, Summer. But don't do it again," she scolded me.

Oh, trust me. I will never again. I was extremely embarrassed.

I knocked on his door. No one opened it for a while. Maybe he wasn't at home. Oh my god, did Jimmy send him to the hospital?

All of my crazy thoughts in my head came to an end when the door opened and Tony stood in front of me. I choked back my tears as I saw how he looked.

His handsome face was black and blue. He had a big bruise near his left eye and his nose was bruised too. Thankfully, it didn't look broken.

He saw me and smiled. Oh, did Jimmy not tell him it was me who sent him?

"Came to check on me?" he smirked.

So he does know! How come he wasn't angry at me?

"I...I just came to say...s..sorry," I was a mumbling mess. I felt like crying again.

"Come in," he grabbed my arm and pulled me inside.

"You know Summer, I underestimated you. I thought you were smart and cute. But now I know you are cunning too," he said quietly.

"Look, I didn't ask him to do this to you, okay? So I came here to apologize," I cried.

"Oh, I will forgive you. But first, I need to punish you," he said stared at me intently.

Shit...
