((I'm going to Fast-forward it a few months...Lilly's probably been avoiding him at this point, but...yeah.))
FF- 7 months later
Lilly smiled at Sarasa, and said her good-nights. Their restaurant had opened and it was doing fantastic. It actually was making her old-job's boss have to run for his money now. Lilly hugged her baggy shirt and stepped out into the brisk night air. She had started seeing a therapist and reading up on a lot of different things. In the past few months, she had gotten better.
She wondered if Avarice even remembered her. Probably...You don't forget your first rape, she though. She walked down a few streets, heading to a Seven-Eleven. She had an odd hankering for a slurpee and knew seven eleven had some. Her thick black hair covered her face as she walked into the white place and headed to the slurpees. I should go find him...Or something...I don't know... she thought, walking ot hte counter. I wonder if Sarasa has seen Gabriel lately...? I hope so. I wouldn't want my...load to carry to have been hers to. she thought, waiting in the short, but slow line to pay.

Avarice hadn't really changed at all besides the fact that he gotten quieter and he hadn't really been swearing as much as he usually did at people. He had gotten put into jail a few times as well which was unlike him. At the moment he was headed to get a slurpee as usual, it was in his day to day schedule to grab one.
He walked into the seven eleven and went straight back to the slurpee maschines, walking past Lilly and not even noticing her. Avarice was to busy thinking about things to notice people around him, he got his slurpee and moved into the line, his eyes on the ground.

Lilly sighed aloud at the guy up front. He was arguing with the guy who was working at the moment. THere were a few ignorant comments tossed that way, some cursing. Finally, the guy behind the counter turned and looked for help. He looked at Lilly, then Avarice, and recognized Avarice. He called out to him in broken English. "Please, sir, could you help me explain to this man that we don't have what he wants?" he asked. THe man yelled again. Lilly sighed again, tempted to help before the guy behind her could since she was closer. she looked over her shoulder, and froze- mostly in shock at who was behind her.

He looked up and saw Lilly, he was quite shocked him but he broke his gaze with her and moved in front of her, grabbing the guy by the shoulder and turning him to face him. "He said he doesn't have what you want here, buddy. Now leave before I decide to smash your face in." Avarice said blankly, and glared coldly at the guy, then let him go, he wsn't one to be messed with, he knew Lilly knew that already though.

Lilly looked at the man get upset, then afriad, and he left. The counter-guy was happy. "THank you sir. IS that all for today?" he asked him. Lilly didn't mind he was letting avarice go before her...He'd earned it. Lilly looked away from him, embarrassed to have met him here of all places.

"Yeah-actually, wait a sec." He said and then turned, he grabbed Lilly's slurpee and set it on the counter beside his. "Now that's all." Avarice put out enough money to pay for both of them and looked at lilly from over his shoulder. He grabbed his slurpee and started to leave the store.

Lilly flushed and grabbed hers, then followed him out. SHe gulped, and walked beside him. "H-...Hello." she greeted, shying up. No, damn it! You will not shy up! You will not let his presence cause you fear! Overcome the obstacle! she yelled at herself, sipping the drink silently.

Avarice looked over at her quietly, slightly confused with what she was oing, he stopped walking once they were about a block from seven eleven. "Hey... Is something wrong?" He asked, there must've been something really wrong for her if she was actually trying to talk to him.

Lilly looked up at him, her eyes meeting his. "Not really..." she answered, her nerves in a bunch. "I...uh...I'm sorry...THat I ran when you tried to apologize." she mumbled, eyes staying on his. SHe was clutching her slurpee tightly. It was obvious this was slightly difficult for her,b ut also obvious that she was a lot better than before.

"L... Let's go somewhere private..." He said quietly to her, his eyes had softened now, he hurt inside to see her so frightened of him, but he really did deserve the pain. Just because it had been some sort of weird love at first sight thing he shouldn't have done that to her. Avarice started walking, gesturing for her to move in front of him. "Pick somewhere quiet for us to go."

"My place? My brother's out for another hour or so..." she explained. And it was a place she felt safe at. Lilly walked ahead of him, leading him into surburbia. She unlocked the door and let him in, then followed him inside and shut the door. She had finished her slurpee on the walk over. "Can I get you anything?" she asked. Wow. this is weird. she thought.

"No, thanks though." He replied and took in a breath, he walked over to her and looked around and then gently grabed her hand, he lead her to where he thought the living room would be and then took a seat on the couch. "I want to apologize to you, Lilly." Avarice said in a quiet voice, letting go of her hands and staring at the ground, he couldn't look at her.

Lilly stared at their hands, her stomach knotting up even more. She sat by him and listened to him, and sighed. "Look at me when you apologize." she told him, her voice breaking a little. It was, in the end, still a very touchy subject. And she'd never make the full recovery from the humilation and the pain she felt when a guy looked at her or was interested in her. She hadn't dated at all in the past few months because of those feelings.

His mouth opened up a bit and then he sighed, he looked at her with his icy blue eyes and then sat up straighter. "I want to tell you how stupid I was acting, how immature I was for doing such a terrible thing to you. I'm a complete idiot, i'm sick. And i'm sorry for taking your pride like that..." Avarice said quietly to her, looking at her made his heart thump harshly in his chest. "T-...tell me how much you hate me."

Lilly stared into his eyes, and she took in a deep breath. She wiped her watery eyes and tears away, taking in another deep breath. "I don't hate you, Avarice...I think you're a selfish, greedy prick who was hurt and didn't and probably still doesn't know how to deal with it, but I don't hate you." she said softly. She managed a tiny smile. "I bet deep down, like...thousands of feet deep down-" A taunt in his direction. "You're a nice guy." Lilly had basically forgiven him. SHe was still healing, and forgiveness was one way to heal, she'd read.
