Chapter 6

As I said before letting people go is hard for me. "Lilith I think you should let Priya go." I cringed at his words and got up quickly.

"Lils come on you know I'm right." he tried to follow after but I was already in the room and locked the door. At this point, I didn't want to let her go. I was patient and I had waited for so long just to be with her. Letting her go now would put all my hard work to waste. I didn't want to waste it all.

"Why would you suggest that?" Curling into a ball and crying to myself.

My phone rang so I looked at the caller id. "Priya, of course, it is," I answer even though I know just about how this was going to end. "Yes beautiful." I sigh pretending to be happy to hear from her.

"Come home." she whines "I miss you"

"Sure but I need some more time. A few hours maybe." I gave in to her whining. She was too cute for me. My head was still pounding but I did need to go home. After all, you cant wear the same clothes for two weeks in a row without washing them.

"Austin do you mind giving me a ride home?" I wipe my tears I walk downstairs. An apologetic Austin waiting for me at the bottom.

"I'm sorry, what I-" I just walked by him ignoring his words.

"Don't talk about it please." his words were painful and I wasn't ready to talk about what he had said, let alone talk to him in general. But I still needed to talk to him for me to get home.

"Look when I'm ready, ill let her go. In the meantime just leave me alone." it just came out. I snapped at him for no reason.

All of the crying I had done had left me exhausted. I needed sleep and I figured that the fifteen-minute drive would get me at least a little bit of sleep. Leaning my head against the window I fell asleep quickly.

AUSTIN P.O.V.

The drive was quiet. I had messed up. The words I said were unnecessary. I guess it was just jealousy or something. I hated making her cry and even worse I hated making her angry with me. I glanced at the passenger seat where Lilith was sitting. She was asleep, it was so cute. She was wasting her love on someone she doesn't deserve.

"Oh Lils you deserve better." it was painful to watch her fall apart like this. She meant a lot to me and I didn't want her to suffer like this but she had asked to stay out of things. Staying away is hard for me.

I pull into her driveway and decide not to wake and instead carry her inside. I knock on the door knowing that Priya is home as I saw the car she was renting for her stay here. There was no answer though. The door was locked as well. I was forced to go searching through the things Lilith had brought with her to my house. Finding the house key I unlocked and took her up to her room but quickly regretted it.

I turned around and laid Lilith on the couch. Heading up the stairs was the most satisfying thing I've ever done. I was even quiet about my approach to the room. Slamming the door open and taking a picture of the scene as proof for Lilith.

"HAVE YOU HEARD OF KNOCKING!!" Priya yelled.

The only thing I could do was smirk and leave the room. "GET BACK HERE YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!! GIVE ME YOUR PHONE!!" I laughed loudly and then turned to face the girl who had nothing but a sheet covering her.

"Lilith is asleep on the couch." I was fairly calm for the situation. "And will not be here until you have left. She's hurting enough. Goodbye." turning to leave I pick up Lilith and put her in the back.

This was just the thing I needed to push lils just enough. I knew her morals and her bitch girlfriend broke them.

LILITH'S P.O.V

I woke up in... Austin's bed? Rolling over I see… Austin?! What happened?! The last thing I remembered was falling asleep in his car.

"Good morning sleepy head." he chuckled causing me to blush deeply. "Awww your so cute."

"No I'm not!" I whined. "What happened last night?" instead of a verbal response he pulled out his phone. Showing me a picture; Priya and some guy I didn't know where in my bed….

All I could do was cry. It was time. I had to let her go. "Lilith I wasn't going to let you sleep there. Nor are you going back until that bitch leaves. She's been using you this whole time." he sighed pulling me into a tight hug. I didn't hug back though all I could do was cry. There was so much said in just one picture.

"I- I don't understand…" I was angry, hurt, betrayed, and most of all felt lied to. "What did I do to deserve this from her?" my crying just got worse as I kept asking those questions.

PRIYA P.O.V.

That fucking bastard! He's ruined everything! My boyfriend left me and he's taking Lilith away from me too. He can't do this! I won't let him do this to me!

I pull out my phone and look for Lilith's contact. After finding it I go to call her. First try… no answer. Second try… same thing. The third try was the same as the first two. I needed to talk to her before that guy shows her the picture. I kept calling until finally it was answered.

"Oh thank god Lilith. That guy you are with photoshopped a picture of me," I say in one breath.

"You should really ask who you're talking to before continuing to talk. You've given just more ammo to work with. Now stop calling I'm shutting down the phone. You can spam the phone through text all you won't just know it'll give me more ammo against you."

It was that fucker who answered. Shit, I'm so stupid. The call ends and I look at my phone contemplating if I should send a text or not. I finally make choice.

I'm going to…..
