February 2017 - A Year and a Half Ago - Asher's POV

"Come to church with me! Please," Brinely begged, pulling out her puppy dog eyes.

"No, no, and no," I repeated for the billionth time. I will never step foot into a church ever again.

"I know it holds bad memories for you, but I promise my church doesn't condone anything your father did, at all," she reasoned.

"I don't care, all Christian churches are the same in my book," I firmly stated and returned back to my history book. Every week she brought this up in hopes that eventually my answer will be different, but it never will. I hate churches and refuse to step foot in one ever again. I don't need to relive my past. At all.

"Okay, but Asher, can you promise me something," she questioned as she came and sat next to me. Her citrus perfume invading my nostrils and her hair brushing against my shoulder.

"Maybe, but I need to know what I'm promising," I said sarcastically.

"Promise me that if you ever step foot in a church again that it will be with me," she whispered, searching my eyes as if she was looking for something.

I looked at her skeptically, "yes," I said and then kissed her quickly so couldn't say anything else.

September 2018 - Present Day

Remembering that day brought tears to my eyes as I realized that I broke my promise. I was in a church today because of her, but not with her. The tears started falling as I held onto Lucy's shaking body. I was pretty much in my own world as the pastor spoke. Reliving every moment, endlessly torturing myself. Well, that was until I heard my name as I was asked to come forward...
