First Love

Lily’s POV

“Call your brothers.” He said, handing me his phone.

I looked at him in confusion because this wasn’t expected from him. Is he actually going to make me call my brothers? Is he being soft towards me? Will he let go of me? Thousands of questions came to my mind and without wasting a single minute I grabbed his cellphone.

In a swift moment, I typed number of Dennis and brought the phone to my ear but before I could talk to him, he snatched the phone away.

I looked at him, dumbfounded.

“Cry.”

“What?” I asked in confusion.

“I said cry as much as you can bitch.”

“Are you fucking dumb or what? Can’t you understand anything at once?” He screamed.

I pushed saliva down my throat but didn’t say anything. Why he was asking me to cry? I really couldn’t understand anything.

He exhaled a deep breath as if he was trying to calm himself down. “Cry in front of your brother as if i am torturing you otherwise i swear I’ll place those spiders again on your body.”

I nodded my head in fear. I don’t know ever want to experience that horrible thing again. I’ll die out of heart attack.

“Hello.” Dennis said on the other side of the phone and hearing his voice made me cry on my own. I didn’t need fake tears to let him believe that Adrain is torturing me. After all he had done already enough to let my brothers know that he’s been torturing me.

“Lily? How are you lily? Why are you crying cupcake? I am sorry that I couldn’t save you from that monster. It’s all my fault that you’re there suffering horrible things everyday. Forgive me.”

He cried from the other side.

My heart clenched hearing him cry for me. No body can love me more than my brothers and Adrain was purposely hurting me to hurt my brothers. Now i know, it was never about me. It was always my brothers. He wanted revenge from my brothers and i was just a way he can do so.

“I am okay. Please don’t cry.” I said, trying to act brave but my voice said otherwise.

“Bitch. Fucking say that you’re not okay. Tell him how i pushed you over the broken pieces of glass and put spiders all over your body.” He screamed loud enough to let Dennis know.

The voice of his crying became audible and i so wanted to wipe away his tears and assure him that I’ll be okay but i know I couldn’t do anything.

“I am sorry- It’s all my fault. Please forgive me. Kill me instead but let her go.” He pleaded to Adrain.

His fault? How come all this was his fault? I looked at Adrain who was now fuming in anger, his face told me that if given a chance he would happily kill my brother and that scared me.

“Please cut the phone.” I said, now not being able to hear the tears of Dennis.

Adrain looked at me for seconds before ending the call and I wondered that what’s happening to him? Why he his acting soft to me? I mean if it was like before then he would never have ended the call instead made me cry Infront of Dennis to hurt him more.

What’s wrong with him? And what’s wrong with me to think all this shit?

“I wish I could kill him.” He muttered under his breath.

I hiccuped and looked at him in despise. Why he has to be like this? What my family has done to him? Why this much hatred?

“Then why don’t you kill me if you hate us this much.” I said on the edge of breaking down.

He looked at me then rolled his eyes in annoyance. “I don’t hate you.”

“Then why all these tortures.” I asked, wiping my tears away.

He sat on the bed besides me and whistled. “Because I hate your family.” He said, plainly.

“Why?”

“Someday, I’ll tell you why.” He chuckled darkly.

“Kill me then, my family will suffer most.”

“I am not that bad, Lily.” He chuckled, again.

“But you can kill my brothers, right?”

He closed his eyes and clenched his fist, gulping the saliva down his throat. It seemed as if he was controlling his temper.

“Don’t talk to me about your brothers.” He hissed.

“Okay.” I tried to smile softly to see if there’s any reaction on him.

And yes something happened. His eyes automatically diluted and he unclenched his fists.

“Okay.” He said.

There’s something wrong happening with him. He’s definitely turning soft towards me.

Does he likes me?

Yeah off course that’s why he pushed you on the broken glasses. My inner consciousness laughed at me.

But on a serious note, why he’s acting like this? He called my name instead of calling me bitch or slut. That’s weird.

Scratching my head, I looked at him and found him staring back at me.

“You’re strange.” I wishpered.

“And you’re my whore” He winked.

Ah! And he’s back.

He stood up to get out of the room and as he reached the door, he turned back at me. “Stay away from me for yesterday.”

I raised my eyebrows. “Why?”

“Now we don’t want to kill you, do we?”
