I was making dinner when I heard the front door open. I peeked my head around the corner and saw Lily. I smiled and walked up to her. "Hey you", I said and kissed her. "Hey. What a nice welcome", she said smiling. "Smells good. What are you cooking?" "Lemon garlic chicken with roast potatoes." "Are you hungry?", I asked. "Very. By the way, I got you something." She handed me an envelope. "What is this?" "Money I owe you", she said. "Money you owe me? You don't owe me any money." I handed her the envelope back. "Yes I do. I've been staying here for the past week, eating your food, using your water, using your electricity. I'm not gonna let you or your parents pay for any of that.", she said. "What are talking about? I'm not gonna ask you for money just because you've been staying here. My parents are glad you've been staying here. They don't mind. And I don't mind either." "Please, take it. I will never be able to live with myself if you don't take the money", she said. "You're being silly." I took the envelope and put it in her bag. "It stays right there, got it?" She sighed and nodded.
I went back to the stove and stirred in the pan. "So, how was work?", I asked. "It was nice. I'm starting to sort of like my co workers now." "Not too much I hope", I said. She laughed. "Trust me, that will never happen. I like you too much." She hugged me from behind and kissed my cheek. "Looks delicious. The chicken too tho", she said. I laughed. "Smooth." "That's how I roll", she said.
There was a knock on the door. "I'll get it", I said. I opened the door and saw Lily's dad standing there. "Hi, mister Maxwell. Can I help you?", I said. "I hope so. Lily has been missing for over a week now. She hasn't come home since our fight. She disappears everytime, but then she comes back within a couple of days. Have you seen her? Is she here?", he said. I looked at Lily, who was hiding in the kitchen. She shook her head. "No, I haven't seen her either. I'm sorry. I'll let you know the second I hear from her", I said. "That can't be. I've been looking everywhere for her. She has to be here. There's no other option left", he said. "I'm sorry sir. I can't help you. She's not here." He shook his head and pushed me aside. "Lily! Are you here?!" "Mister Maxwell, you can't just barge in like that",I said. He pushed me against the wall. "I can do whatever the hell I want if that means I'll find my daughter", he said. "You're hurting me", I said. He looked furious. "Stop it!", Lily yelled from the kitchen. He let go of me and turned around. "There you are. I knew you were here. Come on, let's go home."
He grabbed her arm and pulled her with him. "You're hurting me! Dad!", she yelled. She tried to get out from his grip but he only held on tighter and tighter. I knew there wasn't anything I could do. He was much bigger and stronger than Lily and I were together. He could kill me if he wanted to. "You should probably let her go. You did this yourself, you know. A dad shouldn't be treating his child like this", I said. He let go of Lily and walked up to me. "What do you know of parenthood, child." I saw him forming a fist. "Sir, calm down. Let's just take it easy and talk. Maybe you and Lily can make a deal." And before I knew, I felt his fist on the side of my face. It was like everything went on in slowmotion. My sight became blurry and I felt my head hit the cold floor, blood dripping down, and I didn't know where it came from. All I could see was Lily jumping her dad, before I blacked out
