LILY’S POV♡
When I entered, I saw Arthur and Noel on the sofa watching cartoons. As soon as Noel saw my tear filled face, he got up and rushed to me, almost flying Arthur off the sofa since he was resting on him.
“The fuck happened to you?” Noel all but yelled at me and searched me for injuries.
“Ash..” My voice cracked, it felt like I haven’t drank water for more than a week.
“Come on, Lily, speak up!” He yelled frustratingly.
“Asher and Shelly were kissing!” I rushed out. Saying those words brought back the memory of them kissing, making me ball my eyes out again. Rose hugged me while Noel paced up and down.
“Fuck! I knew that mother fucker would screw up some day.” He said angrily, his fist balled up as he struggled to breathe properly. He stopped and directed his attention to Rose, his eyes turning merciless as he muttered those words.
“Rose, bring the tape, the knife, grab the gloves and make sure you grab the garbage bag so we could dump the body in it!”
“Guys, you aren’t going to kill him!” I gasped.
“We know you love him, but you I can get a new lover after.” Noel tried to reason as he smiled wickedly, probably thinking about ways to kill Asher.
“No, we aren’t killing him!” I shouted.
“Um, guys, who is this Asher guy you guys are talking about?” Arthur asked, looking at us with confusion written on his face. I forgot he was here. Noel rolled his eyes as he turned his attention to Arthur. “Can you keep up! He is the asshole who came running after Lily at the party you brought us to.”
Arthur snapped his fingers when he came to a realization. “Oh, that guy! He’s hot!”
Both Noel and I glared at him in hatred as he laughed at our expressions. Even though Asher did what he did, I can’t just stop loving him. I don’t think I’ll even be able to, I’m in too deep. Before I could say something to Arthur, my phone started ringing. Picking it up without looking at the caller, I yelled into it. “What?“.
“Lily?” A guy’s voice said.
“Uh yes, who is this?” I asked, annoyed. Today really wasn’t my day. All I want to do is go to sleep and pretend that this was all a dream.
“It’s Luke, something happened to Asher and I think you should come here.” He rushed out. As soon as he said those words I felt the air being knocked out of my lungs as I stopped breathing for a second and started panicking. I could hear mumbling in the background that sounded like Asher.
“Are you calling my baby for me?” I could hear him mutter, then heard a loud thud.
“Wait, what? Where are you?” I rushed out, already heading for the door.
“We’re at the after party.” Luke said before cursing softly.
“Okay, I’m on my way.” I said before hanging up.
I looked back at Rose and Noel. I could tell they were confused as they waited for me to tell them what was going on.
“Something happened to Asher!” I told them as I panicked.
“Shit, do you want us to come with you?” Noel rushed out, already grabbing his jacket.

“No, it’s better if I go alone.” I said softly. I didn’t want to pull them into Asher and I’s mess.
“Then at least let Arthur drive you there.” Noel said and looked at Arthur for confirmation.
“I won’t mind.” Arthur shrugged. I nodded before telling Noel and Rose a quick bye. Arthur and I headed out and got in his jeep. I gave him the directions to the place where the after party was being hosted at and we headed there. Arthur was driving so fast that I had to hold the dashboard for fear that might fly out of the car.
We reached there in a matter of ten minutes and I stayed inside the car for a minute to regain my breathing. Giving Arthur a smile, I asked him if he would wait for me here, but he insisted on coming with me. Nodding at him, we got out of the car and headed for the frat house that the party was at.
We were about to step foot on the lawn when I saw Luke dragging out a wild looking Asher. I stopped and told Arthur we should wait here. I could hear Asher cursing from over here and I wondered to whom he was insulting so cruelly. Luke struggled to drag him out as Asher shook violently. Luke spotted us and said something to Asher, which made him direct his furious eyes to us. He shook out of Luke’s arms and furiously walked to us. When he reached us he didn’t spare me a glance as he gripped Arthur around his neck.
“What the fuck are you doing with my girl?” He yelled I could smell the alcohol on him and wondered how many drinks he took.
“Dude chill!” Luke yelled as he rushed to pull Asher away from a terrified Arthur.
“What the hell is wrong with him Luke?” I asked him as I looked at Asher in fright. I have never seen him so angry. He looked like a beast ready to eat his meal, and to top it off, he looked like he was in a fist fight.
“I don’t know. Ever since the game ended, he has been in a bad mood, he’s drunk right now and got into a fight with one of the guys.” Luke explained.
“The guy wouldn’t agree to leave if I didn’t call you to come and meet him here.” Luke added, staring at me in amusement as he pointed at Asher.! blushed as I caught on to his words.
“I’m not fucking drunk!” Asher roared, but then swayed as he tried to keep his balance.
“Why are you such an idiot?” I asked him irritatedly.
“Why did you run away from me?” He asked
“Because you kissed Shelly!” I yelled at him.
me
sadly as his eyes glistened with tears.
“I didn’t kiss her back baby, I could never do that to you.” He said.
“Then why didn’t you break the kiss?” I muttered softly, remembering how he didn’t break it fast enough.
“I was shocked and before I came to my senses, you were already running out.” He mumbled and swayed again. Luke held him upright then started walking with him.
“As much as I want to hear you two talk out your problems, this isn’t the right place.” Luke laughed.
“Yeah, you’re right.” I gave out a soft chuckle reassuring smile.
Arthur looked at me, rubbing his throat softly making me feel guilty, but that went away when he gave me a
“Where are you taking him?” I asked Luke when I saw them nearing Arthur’s jeep.
“I was wondering if you could drop him off at his penthouse? I didn’t bring my car with me.” He told me and rested Asher on the Jeep.
“Okay, but what about you?” I asked him and followed him to the Jeep with Arthur hot on my heels.
“I have some business to take care of so I won’t be coming, just take care of my best friend, would you?” He said seriously.
“I will.” I promised.
We got in as Luke helped Asher get in the back. As soon as he was settled at the back, he dozed off, making me chuckle at his adorableness. Hearing a

throat clear, I looked at Arthur who was looking at us in amusement. I blushed and looked away. He then drove off making Luke wave at us, as we disappeared from his sight.

When we reached Asher’s penthouse, Arthur had to help me get Asher in. It was a struggle really, the dude weighs a ton. We put him to rest on his bed. took off his shoes and socks and pulled the covers over him. We left him there as I went to see Arthur on his way out.
“Are you staying?” Arthur asked.
“Yes I am, please tell Noel and Rose that everything is okay, they must be worried.” I told him.
“I will. See you later.” He said and gave me a hug.
I went back to the room to see that Asher must have taken off his shirt when we left. Chuckling, I went to join him on the bed as I felt exhausted from the events earlier. When I was almost knocked out, I felt Asher pull me to his chest as he cuddled me.
