Chapter 2 On the drive back , Jason Miller was fuming , his voice cold and accusing .
Jo Summers , are you happy now ? If you hadnt pushed Lily , we wouldnt be in this mess ! How many times do I have to tell you ? Lily is my sister .
When will you stop being so damn unreasonable ? It didnt matter what had just happened .
One look from Lily , and I was still the villain in his eyes .
She pushed me first , I said , my voice quiet .
It wasnt the first time Id tried to defend myself .
And it wouldnt be the last time no one believed me .
Jason let out a sharp , mocking laugh .
Enough .
Havent you lied enough already ? Youll say anything to make her look bad , wont you ? Lily and I grew up together .
Shes kind , innocent theres no way shed ever do something like that .
like every other time before this he chose to beti 7:33 AM < And once again , I was the one being unreasonable .
A dull ache settled in my chest .
I didnt even feel like arguing anymore .
The first time I met Lily , I knew she wasnt as harmless as she pretended to be .
The day she returned from abroad , we went to pick her up at the airport .
The second she saw Jason , she flung herself into his arms like a butterfly , spinning in circles .
Jason , I missed you so much ! Did you miss me ? She practically purred the words before leaning in and planting a kiss on his cheek .
P Jasons ears turned red , and his gaze softened , filled with indulgence .
Come on , let me introduce you .
This is my girlfriend , Jo Summers .

That was when she finally seemed to notice me .
The smile on her face faltered slightly as her gaze swept over me from head to toe .
That look cold , assessing made my skin crawl .
Like she was evaluating an object .
A moment later , she smiled again , but something flickered in her eyes something condescending .
Thank you , Jo , for taking care of Jason while I was gone .
I shouldve known .
At the time , I couldnt shake the feeling that something was off about the way she said it .
That was the moment she decided she didnt like me .
Not long after we got home , Lily texted Jason again .
Apparently , the pool party wasnt wild enough for her , so now they were hitting up a bar .
I told him to make up an excuse and turn it down .
Given our current situation , it wasnt exactly the best time to be hanging around them .
But Jason , as always , folded because when Lily Carter pouted and batted her lashes , saying no simply wasnt an option .
He texted back , agreeing to go .
I sighed .
Fine .
Id go , make an appearance , and leave as soon as I could .
But Jason wasnt having it .
Youre in my body right now .
I cant let you put Lily in an awkward spot or hurt her feelings .
I let out a dry laugh .
This was actually happening .
My boyfriend was more worried about another womans feelings than mine .
At the bar , everyone seemed surprised to see Jason well , me show up .
Lily wasted no time .
She hooked her arm through mine , batting her lashes as she looked at Jason .
Jo , are you at a bar ? Didnt think this was your scene .
Or are you just here to spy on Jason ? Come on , do you really think wed do anything behind your back ? Were all Jasons closest friends .
Cant you trust us ? Jason blinked , caught off guard by the accusation .
For once , he had no idea what to say .
He looked at me confused B I stayed calm .
Jo just came by coincidence .
Thats all .
Hearing me stand up for Jason , a flicker of displeasure flashed in Lilys eyes.
As soon as we sat down , a few drinks in , someone suggested a game .
I was never good at these , and , unsurprisingly , I lost .
My punishment was a dare .
One of the guys smirked , Kiss the girl to your left .
My left was Lily .
She let out a soft gasp , tilting her head coyly .
Oh , come on .
Jos watching .
We dont want a repeat of last time , do we ? Then she sighed dramatically , flashing an apologetic smile to the group .
I mean , I get it some people just arent built for this kind of game .
A couple of them laughed .
Jason said nothing .
I froze .
The first time I went to a bar with them .
The first time I watched her pull this same damn move .
She had lost a game back then too .
Had to kiss someone .
Plenty of single guys were there .
But she hadnt even looked at them .
Instead , she turned straight to Jason her so called best friend .
And the worst part ? He hadnt pushed her away .
They had kissed .
A full three minutes .
Slow , deep , lingering .
By the time they finally pulled apart , their breathing was heavy , lips swollen .
And me ? I was right there .
Watching .
When we got home , I snapped .
Told him he had no sense of boundaries , and that this wasnt okay .
Jason had just scoffed , Jo , seriously ? It was just a game .
Grow up .
Lily is like a sister to me .
If I actually liked her , do you think youd even be here ? I had trembled with anger , but the worst part was I couldnt find the words to fight back .
After that night , I never stepped foot in a place like this again .
