Lethal Love

Chapter 5

Lilly's POV

    

When I reach home its 5:00 pm. I stopped for some frozen yougurt on my way. Ive always had a love for frozen yogurt. I remember as a kid when my mom and dad would leave my sister and I home alone, they would buy us each a box of frozen yogurt first. I would take a box up to my room and eat it alone while listening to Ron Pope. As for Lauren she would eat one and leave the rest for later....which meant more for me.

I see Jake's car in the driveway and my eyes start to tear up. No Lilly, do not let him get to you, walk in there and be strong I say out loud.

Just as I exit the car I see Ms. Conrad jogging by.

"Ms.Conrad? Is that you?" I yell

"Well hello there Lilliana. How are you?" She ask smiling

"Im good. The real question here is how are you? I heard that the cancer had really gotten to you"

"Oh people and their rumors. Ive been in remission for almost 6 months now. Just enjoying life right now. I thought id go for a little jogg." she says and my jaw drops.

"Wow Ms. Conrad that is great to hear. I will continue to pray for you"

"Thank you Lilliana. Enjoy your day." She says and begins to jog away

"Same to you." I say before she cant hear me anymore.

Great so now I know for sure Jake cheated on me. As if the panty in our bedroom wasnt enough, he lied to me about visiting Ms.Conrad.

I walk inside to meet Jake sitting on the couch watching a game. He looks up towards me with a slight smile.

"Hey babe" he says ever so nonchalantly.

"hey" I say dryly.

"Where have you been? Ive been worried sick"

"Didnt look so to me" I glare at him. He looks confused.

"How is Ms.Conrad?" I ask him

"She's still pretty sick and she doesnt knwo when she is coming out of the hospital." He says and frowns. I cant help but look at him with the most disgusted face ever.

"Oh really? Because I just saw Ms.Conrad outside jogging." His eyes widen. "yeah she told me she was in remission for almost 6 months now."

 He looks around the room as if an excuse will just appear out of the furniture. I stand with my hand on my hip watching him, not watching me as I await an answer. 

But then I realize something. I’ve spent all my life waiting for people to give me answers only to never get any.

I sigh and turn off the television. I sit next to him on the couch. He still avoids eye contact with me so I use two fingers to turn his face towards me. “Look I want you to answer me honestly. I know we haven’t been on good terms lately but I still think I deserve some truth.”

I lower my fingers from his face. “Okay ask and I’ll answer.” He says dropping his eyes to the floor.

I let out a shaky breath. This is it. “Where were you? You said you were visiting Ms. Conrad but that’s obviously not true.” I hold my breath. I feel like I’m in an ocean. "And I found female underwear in our bed. Its quite obivious what you've done but I need to hear it from you."  What he says next will either keep me afloat or sink me down under.

Harry POV

I walk into the familiar little diner hoping that I will see Lilly again. I order a cup of tea and sit at the counter and wait.
