Lyla POV
Andrew wrapped his arms around me, and I forgot to even pay attention to my brother, giving his speech. The more I was close to him the more I wanted to stay with him, and never let go. But with every touch I was also reminded that he could very likely reject me or kill me like my family. That thought kept making me emotional, no matter how many times I chanted “I’m a bada$$” in my head, my tears kept coming. Then Andrew kissed my tears on my cheek and called me baby, that was the line for me. The flood gates crashed open, I stared at him wide eyed tears falling down my face. I didn’t know what else to do so I ran, I heard Andrew call my name but I couldn’t stop.
I ran into the woods not wanting to cause a scene at the party and stripped from my dress, I need to get out of her
