Lily's POV:"And why aren't you so cheery today?" I asked Stella as I sat down in front of my bedroom's window. The weather was definitely winter-like today. What if it snows? That would be amazing."I am cheery. Like always." She replied with a small sigh.That was new. She never practically sighed. Including such small, upsetting sighs. Something was definitely going on with her."I know. And I want you to tell it to me. Whatever is bothering you." I asked. What else are friends for? She waited for a while probably thinking, then replied."Yesterday when I was at my grandma's, things just didn't turn out good." She replied slowly."As in?" I urged. Stella was never upset about small things. It meant that this thing was huge and it really mattered to her."I talked to my Mom about Zack and things didn't turn out good. She didn't even care. She just said that I can't date anybody." She said.Woah."That is a genuine reason." I said slowly. I didn't know any other comforting thing to

Lily's POV:If I would've thought that everything will be fine again, I would never have believed it. But now I do. Because everything was fine."How about I get you some water?" I stood up from beside grandpa who passed weak smile towards me.He still looked pale and weak. But seeing him responding was what mattered to me right now. Even if I didn't want to leave his side, I did. Mainly because I, myself needed water. And I knew there must be some things grandma and grandpa needed to talk to. Alone.I left the room as I heard grandma talking to him.Ace had stayed with me for a while when we had reached here. The doctor hadn't let us see grandpa before some tests. But when a phone call came, Ace had left. Which was fine with me since I haven't told grandma yet. About us.When I told Stella about everything, she's been as happy as me. She had wanted to come, but couldn't. Since her mom was having a serious talk with her.Instead of going towards the canteen, I went over to a bench and

Lily's POV:My phone buzzed. It must be Stella. But I wasn't going to take out my phone and check the message. What if, in the meantime, the person behind me catches up to me?I shuddered at the thought and kept on moving. Somebody was surely behind me. I could hear the footsteps.My phone buzzed again. Someone was calling now. Maybe I can ask for help. Maybe if it was Stella, she will know that I wasn't still stealing the file and a creep was after me.I kept my pace and slowly took out my phone as my heart drummed against my chest. It wasn't Stella, it was Ace.Oh no. Did he find out? Did Stella really run away?Whatever it was, I quickly answered. There may be chances I could be saved. "Lily? Where are you?" He asked in an annoyed voice.Maybe he doesn't know."I don't know." I muttered aware of the footsteps behind me. I couldn't possibly think about two things at the same time. It wasn't one of my talents."Dammit Lily, why does it sound like you're running?" He asked a bit more

Ace's POV:She doesn't love you.She never did. How could have I not seen it coming?That message from that bastard changed everything. How the heck could he have such guts to send me that message? Who the heck does he think he is?She doesn't trust you.Of course, she doesn't. How could she? Most importantly, why? Why would she trust me? All I have done is hide things from her. I've not even told her a single thing.Why the fuck can I not tell her?I took the nearest thing and threw it at the wall.I didn't believe in that message but I knew it held the truth. Even if I didn't want to accept it, deep inside I knew that was true.I messed it up. Everything.I was selfish. I didn't tell her anything because I wanted her only to myself. Who knew she didn't even love me?I was fooling myself!I don't know if she'll ever love me back again.×××××××××××××××××××××Lily's POV:I went over in grandpa's room and saw him looking out the window. He looked lost in some kind of thought. I moved to

Lilys POV:Small snowflakes fell on the ground making the whole view perfect. I slowly walked ahead aware of the silence. This silence wasn't creepy, it was comforting. This silence was reassuring.It was almost evening and I had decided to take a walk just outside my house. Because firstly, I needed to check out the snow and secondly, I needed time to think.I walked by a puddle of water which looked halfway frozen. I walked by a cute poodle rubbing its body in the snow with a girl. I walked by beautiful birds chirping. And then I couldn't just continue walking.I was tired. I went off to a tree and sat down under it. It's branches were covered in snow. I scrunched up and wrapped my arms around my knees.I had decided to go over to Stone enterprises, to Ace. Because I'm finally going to tell him. I'll tell him that I love him. I'll tell him that I love him more than anything.A smile formed on my lips as I rested my head on my knees.I must say that I didn't like him in the start. I
