LILY’S POV♡
He pushed me up against the tree while attacking my neck with kisses. I was so lost in the pleasure that I couldn’t think straight and the only thing that would come out of my mouth was breathy moans. Finally finding my voice, I stopped him before it could go any further.
“Asher stop, we can’t do this.” I breathed out.
He looked at me disappointed before masking it with an uninterested look. He put me back down slowly before going to pick up his shirt he threw when we were in our heated moment. Looking anywhere but him, I too went to look for my clothes.
I was in the middle of putting my clothes back on, when I heard Asher clear his throat before calling my name. I turned around to look at him, feeling flushed and still a bit excited from the events earlier.
“I’m sorry, Lil, I was caught in the moment.” He uttered.
I smiled sadly. “It’s fine, it won’t happen again, it was a mistake.” It wasn’t but I’ll never tell him that.
His features turned to anger when those words came out of my mouth and for a second I wanted to take it back, but didn’t when his stupid mouth opened to speak out.
“Yes, it was a mistake that will never happen again. I don’t know by thinking about it.
the stooped so low and touched you that way.” He shivered like he was disgusted just
I took in a sharp inhale of air when those words tumbled out of his mouth. “Wow, back to being an asshole I see. You’re a fucking piece of shit, Asher.” Screw him and his way of always making me feel like shit.
I turned away from him pulling my dress over my head and got ready to walk, well limp, my ass out of there and away from him. Even if I might get lost because I don’t have a clue as to where we are. I slipped on my shoes and started to walk away from him.
“Lily, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.” He pleaded and rushed out to grab my hand to stop me from leaving. “I brought you here to explain my actions so that’s what I’ll do.” He declared, his tone sounding defeated.
“One minute you’re all nice to me, and then you go back to being an asshole!” I yelled and pulled my hands out of his grip, because it tingles everywhere he touched and I wouldn’t be able to think properly.
He looked downcasted by my actions. “Just let me explain.” He pleaded.
“Go right ahead, I’m tired of hearing those words over and over. Just get on with the explaining already!” I yelled, frustrated.
He took a deep breath in before going to sit on the grass which was under the tree that we just had the heated moment at. Remembering it, I blushed and kept my head down, sitting down next to him, making sure I left enough space between us.

This might not make sense to you, but just hear me out before you judge me, okay?” He grumbled. I nodded and waited for him to speak up.
“It all started when I first saw you. Remember my parents were the ones who dropped me off that day?” He asked. I nodded my head for him to continue.
Yeah, I remember those horrible people. How could I forget when they were the ones who called my mom horrible names because of our financial status. We weren’t rich like them and they didn’t want to associate with poor people like us, not that it gave them the right to treat us like we were nothing.
“It was the first time I saw you and I was so drawn to you that I told my parents I wanted to be your friend.” He looked at me from the corner of his eyes while blushing.
What? Asher wanted to be my friend. Then again, I do remember him smiling at me on the first day. But I also remember his mom pulling him roughly to look at her and saying something to him which made him look back at me with disgust.
“They got really mad at me and mom yelled at me to stay away from you because you and your mom were poor. She said if I would be your friend, they

would disown me.” He mumbled sadly, like the thought hurt him. Did Asher’s parents hate us that bad to bully their son to stay away from me? Were that disgusting to them?
“But it still didn’t give you the right to bully me, Asher. No one wanted to be my friend because of you, what do you think it does to a little girl? I scoused him angrily.
“I know, Lily, and I’m sorry. It’s just that I was so mad at them that I took it out on you. I was angry that I couldn’t be your friend so didn’t want anyone else to be yours.” He professes.
“So you’re trying to say that you didn’t want me to have friends other than you?” I raised my eyebrow.
“Yes, if I couldn’t be your friend then no one else could. I know fucked up, but I didn’t know any other way to show you I liked you, I never grew up in a household where my parents loved each other so I never learned how to express it.” He shrugged like that was common sense. His words made me sympathize with him. It must suck to know and grow up with parents that loathed each other, but it still doesn’t give him the right to torment me.
“You had no right, Asher! You fucking put me through hell.” I yelled, mad that he resorted to bully me instead of just talking to me like a normal human being.
“I know and I’m sorry. Can we please start over?” He asked, sounding desperate. Just like that, my heart dropped and I instantly calmed down. I hated myself for forgiving so easily.
“What about your parents? I know damn well they wouldn’t agree to us being friends now.” I asked. At my words his face morphed into one of dejection making me believe his parents wouldn’t allow him. “I figured that from you not stopping the bullying.” I muttered out angrily.
“Yeah, I brought up the idea of being friends with you to them recently and they flipped out. They actually said that they wouldn’t pass down the family business to me and I worked so damn hard to earn it.” He claimed. He sighed and looked at me, contemplating. “But the thing is, Lil, I just can’t stay away from you. Can’t we just keep it a secret? I mean we have a project to do together so it wouldn’t look suspicious if we hang out.” He looked at me hopefully.
“I don’t know, Asher, this is a lot to take in. What about the bullying, will it stop?” I asked. If there was a chance of us being friends, the torment will have
to stop.
“Don’t worry, I won’t bully you anymore.” He said defiantly.
Taking five minutes to think about it, I made up my mind. It doesn’t sound too bad to be his friend and maybe in time, I’ll start to forgive him and even myself for not being strong enough to stand up for myself. His parents are assholes, though.
I nodded. “We can be friends, but what about Shelly?”
His lips split up in a smile at my words and I bit my lips to stop from returning it. “Don’t worry about Shelly, I’ll take care of her.” He sighed.
“We will take things slow, though, I’m still not comfortable with you yet. I can’t just forget about the things you did to me. It won’t take a day to forgive you for years of bullying.” I stated.
