White Lies

Chapter 4

Lilith's p o v :

The man I'm seeing infront of me is the guy who Kartha Jones my mother said she'd be selling me to. This guy, I'm pretty sure is the one in the photo Kartha gave me of him. She never told anything about him, not even a name. What is he doing here? Is he here to take away?

"What do you want from me?" I question. "I just came to see what kind of person you are." He walks past me.

"You could've came home and met properly." I shout. Who tf does that shit. He stops in his track and shrugs then leaves.

I am left in a daze, staring at the marble floor. Principal Henry's saying something. I can't understand what he's saying. Every thing's a blur.

"Sir, I have to go home." I rush out of his office and didn't even bother taking my bag from the classroom. I have my phone and keys, thats all I need for now.

I text Mia to take my bag with her and that I'll explain everything to her later. I will go anywhere but home. I don't wanna have anyone right now

I head to the abandoned lake where me and Mia always hang out. I sit on the bench confused and my head pounding again. "Why does my mother want to fuckin sell me to some random ass man! What did I ever do to her. Why is she like this!!" I scream the last part. I suddenly feel dizzy.

I guess I passed out. The next thing I'm being woken up by Mia. "Why are you sleeping here? What happened?" she asks. "I-I saw the man" I whisper.
"I can't hear you,bae. Speak a little louder will ya"

"I saw the man" i try speaking a little louder.

"What man are you talking about?"

"The man my mum is selling me to" I whisper breaking into tears.

"What?! Your mother is selling you to a guy?"

"Yes" I say, crying even louder. I lean on Mia's shoulder not being able to hold myself.

"The mark on your left cheek was your mom's doing. Wasn't it?" she questions. I nod, not having the strength to speak. She hugs me knowing I need one right now.

"No offence, girl. But I think you'd be better off with some random guy than your mom."

And deep down it is kinda true. Some random man is better than Kartha.

Writer's note :

Well, yeah. I feel so bad for Lilith but it gets better.

Happy reading!
