[4] Rise and fall of the Greedler(?)

Y/n Pov:

I really hoped this was the right decision, but maybe he just needed a bit of confronting and thinking for himself, I thought while walking a bit.

My thoughts were interrupted by the Lorax. He walked beside me with a face that was on one side mad but felt on the other pity for me. "You should have know better, y/n. I told you."

I didn't wanted to believe it, I just couldn't. The Onclere just had the same problem that I had and I felt responsible for helping him. Especially because we got so close in the last weeks.

"No, I'll still stick to him, I have to. I know that he isn't like that and you should too, Lorax. Or are you going to ignore that he just started doing that when his family was here?" The Lorax groanded at my stubbornness.

"So are you going to let him just kill all the trees, this whole environment, where you by the way lived for a long time, just because you see him as your friend? No, actually after I think about it, the amount of time you spend together almost seems like your about to be together! Your just blind, thats it, isn't it?" - "No, it's not like that, really! I just want to help him because he's mistreated by his family and as a friend, I'll help him. Nothing more"

Silence for a while. A sight from the Lorax broke it. "You can do that, y/n. But think of the possibility of regretting this decision."

I looked down to him and said confident "Right now I would only regret not helping him."

Disappointed the Lorax walked away and I turned around to watch the Oncelers house. I prayed in my head that everything is going to be fine.

The Lorax words were stuck in my head. I couldn't possibly be in... Love?

Two weeks later

It wasn't anything like I would have thought. I was hoping for Onceler to stop chopping trees once he got famous. But in reality he was just chopping more trees. Did my speech changed nothing? Is he ignoring it just like that?

To be honest, I was even scared to ask him when he'll stop, because I felt how his greed was getting bigger and bigger. As if I would get chopped myself, if would asked to use some of the money to stop the chopping.

Here's the worst part: I became his assistant because of me being silence all the time, at least I thought this was the reason. But I had to change that. I wanted to help him being the best version of himself.

So I made myself to his office. His brothers were standing in front of the door. But without hesitation they opened it for me.

There he was, the Onclere, sitting on his chair and building his new city he started thinking about. He called it "Thneedville", I think

"Uhm, Onceler? I was wondering if we could talk" He looked up, smiling at the sight of me. "Oh, yeah. And stop calling me that, I said Oncie is fine."

I was never comfortable in saying that, because his mother is calling him like that all the time, while manipulating the shit out of him, urgh.

"Yes..Oncie." I set up a uncomfortable smile "Well, about the chopping.. We made about half a million sells, yes? So we could start investing on planting some trees and getting to.. stop the chopping?"

Oncelers smile faded a bit and he stoot up. "Y/n, you know that I like you and that you're important to me, but I can't. If I would do that the progress would be so much slower and I would't get as much sells as I would want to"

I tried to come up with a another argument. Even though he was really calm, I just couldn't stop myself from being nervous. "But, well, think about how good this is for the long therm of the company. If you don't plant more trees or let some of them stay, you will get out of material to make Thneeds"

He thought a bit. "I know, I know, but there are still enough trees. Just a bit and-" - "No, Oncie! I had enough, you said that you won't chop anymore trees, then you did it. I tolerated that, but now you want even more?! You have to stop, now!" I smashed my hands on his desk.

Even I could tell how aggressive I sounded right now, but I couldn't help it. It just got ot of my mouth. "Y/n... " I expected him to be even madder at me, but he just sounded sad like a puppy. That made me feel bad for being so open about my emotions.

"If I stop, my mom won't tolerate that" This made me even angrier "Then stop caring about her opinion, I told you enough times, didn't I? Why can't she just tolerate your opinion for once? Hm?" -"Y/n, please calm down"

The Onceler was... Not mad, like not at all? It was like the old Onceler was back again, I was confused. "Sorry.. But my point stands. You may not get the sells as fast, but at least you'll have your company for longer than maybe half a year."

He sighted and gave it a serious thought. "You know what.. Your right. I was thinking about this all the time since you confronted me about it and the more I think about it the more I see the signals you talk about all the time." He admideed, sounding not so sure about his words. I smiled. I didn't wanted to, but I just couldn't resist. Onceler listened to what I said!

I walked around his desk. He looked a bit confused and without saying anything I gave him a big hug. A muffled "Thank you, Oncie!" Came out of my mouth. Happily he hugged back.

My head went back again and whisperd "Please don't break this promise again. You have to stay strong and really do it, okay? Your family can't control what you want to do with your company and they also shouldn't.". He nodded while getting a pink shimmer on his cheek and got a bit closer to my face. I was confused what he wanted to do.

But before he could do anything the door opened and his mom came in "Oncie, I have- what is going on here?!"
