Chapter 19.

*Jace POV*

The reason I took Lillian is because of her bitch sister Emma. She turned on me and people found out that I use to hit her, so now her sister, precious little Lillian, will have to take the rest of the hits for Emma.

Hey, I couldn’t have located Lillian without the help of my bro Steven. Lillian transferred to his school, what are the chances eh?

Speaking of Emma, she’s calling me right now,

“YOU BASTARD!” she screamed into the phone when I picked up.

“Your animosity is astounding, but you did this to her, its your fault she's here with me right now.” I retorted.

“How is it my fault? I didn’t do anything to you, you did it to yourself. If you didn’t abuse me then you would have had no reason to get caught. Because its totally my fault for helping myself out and getting the fuck away from you right?” she yelled at me as I watched the emotion of her sister, who is hearing all this, change from fear to absolute horror and panic.

“Well just so you know I look so forward to see you do something about this, go on and try. Also Lillian just overheard everything, would you like to say something to her?” I questioned and Emma gasped on the other end.

“Lillian its ok baby, don’t worry I’ll come and we will…-” Emma didn’t get to finish because I hung up on her.

Lillian was trying so hard not to cry, it was so cute. Not.

“Why?” she asked and a single tear fell down her face.

“Look around, look where you are right now. No one cares where you are. If you didn’t have Emma you would be alone. No one cares about a pathetic human being, if you can’t keep up with society you are not worthy.”

I studied her expressions as a look of realization hit her, hard. She looked like she had given up and tears fell over her cheeks and she sobbed.

*Flashback*

“Look Jace, I got a 95% in Maths today!” 13 year old Lillian exclaimed to me as Emma and I sat in the family room.

 

“Great job Lilly Pad! If you need help in anything else you can ask me ok?” I congratulated the bubbly, copy of Emma.

 

“Ok thanks J Bear!” she said then crushed me in a hug, before skipping off up the stairs.

 

*End of Flashback*

Looking at this girl four years later, I still see the bubbly full of life young girl, the girl I would help doing homework and the girl that watched me change and hit rock bottom.

*Flashback*

“Shut the fuck up Emma!”
