Petal's POV

When I heard Sebastian's talk with my mom when he was saying "petal was with her friends”, I stopped in my way, I was scared that he'll lie and manipulate my mom, my mom didn't saw me as she was busy in pouring tea for Sebastian, Sebastian looked in my direction and held his gaze to scare me about telling everything to my mom. I started thinking he could have said friend instead of friends that too pressing 's' at the end. "Bastard, why he's doing this with me". As I was thinking in mind, I heard asking again about us arriving together. He kept his gaze on me while answering "I was coming to your house to talk about party on Wednesday, on the way I saw petal with her friend Samy, so I picked her" while smirking. My mom didn't saw his smirk. After making sure he's not making any lies, I went to my room and changed into comfortable clothes, I was wearing same clothes as yesterday, though he got them washed before giving it to me. Today is Sunday I don't have college, I can rest, I was having headache maybe I caught a cold because of rain. I didn't want to think what happened in the morning I slept. I don't care he left or not, I don't even want to think about him. I slept whole afternoon and woke up at 5 in the evening. I got freshened up and went downstairs to get a coffee for headache. When I entered the kitchen, I saw my mom was preparing coffee, she felt my presence looked at me “want coffee?" Mom asked me, "yes, mom I really need on my head is hurting" I said to mom, my mom came to me and placed hand on my forehead to see if I got a fever or not, she let a sigh of relief by knowing that I don't have fever.

We sat in the balcony while sipping our tea, my mom started to scold me "how can you behave rudely petal, Sebastian gave lift to you but you went to your room and slept, you have to show respect who's older than you”, “come on mom, I had headache that time so I took rest" I Replied to mom. I have to respect him who took my first kiss and forced me, as if he deserves that. "By the way what you guys talked about mom “I asked, I got curious when he said about party. “Oh, that he came to give invitation and to inform about venue" he had already invited on dinner why invitation now, whatever "he was insisting for sending a car for us to pick up, but I declined him, party will be in his mansion “mom completed. “Mom can I not go, please" I asked my mom with pleading eyes, I don't want to go there, that pervert will do something to me again, l don't want to be there with him insane atmosphere. "No arguments about this topic petal, we are going that's final, it’s not like you are going to work there" mom said leaving no room for arguments. After chatting with mom and not getting successful in my plan, I went to my room and made a phone call to Samy. I want to share all these with someone or else I'll go crazy, sharing with mom is impossible.so I decided to call Samy, he returned my phone when we were in lift of his penthouse. Samy received my call "hey babe, what's up, why didn't you replied to my texts and I called you too" she's attacking me with questions from other side. I told everything to her even what happened in dinner too, she was already cursing him, my friend she doesn’t care about others when someone bullies her or me, then I said “Samy, I was thinking not to attend the party" she gone silent for a second or two then she said "listen petal, I know you don't want to be near him, I know he took your first kiss and forced you but why are you scared when you did nothing, why do you want to even avoid him, show him that you are not scared, show him that it didn't mean anything what happened between you two by attending party" she said. “I’ll think about it Samy" I said and ended the call.
