Delilah
June 3, 2014

---

Today has been a total drag from falling asleep in class and having my teachers yell at me, to flunking a test or quiz. I slumped through the hallways as nonchalantly as I possibly could. When people asked how I was today and if anything was wrong I would tell them "Oh I'm just tired". Which wasn't a complete lie, I was tired because i didn't get any sleep last night, But the reason I didn't get any sleep was what as bothering me all day..

Just the way Conner said “... you wont get rid of me..” was bothering me all night. He said it with such persistence it was kind of worrisome. Would I ever get rid of him?.. But ..Do i want to get rid of him?

I stood in the hallway with my back leaned against my locker. Watching people pass by with smiles, and laughing with their friends. The way they smiled were of pure happiness, The way I used to smile. I didn't deserve to be unhappy.. I know that may be selfish but i really dont.. it was just that one night I sneaked out of my house. Just that once choice, that one stupid choice, that changed me forever... That changed my life forever..



My father and I both sat in our 2006 Jetta. We both sat in silence as he gripped the steering wheel, peeling the leather away in frustration. "We told you not to go.." He spoke out, turning to me.

"I know, but I...I wanted to go" I said, not able to face him. So i just stared at the door handle as if it was the most fantasizing thing in the world

My father then let out a scoff before replying "It's always about you isn't it... Its always about what Delilah wants..."

I didn't reply, I just heard the sound of my father start the car engine, before putting it in reverse out of Sophia's drive way. We could still hear the sound of the music banging through out the house. The smell of alcohol and smoke lingered off of my body.

“Why would you do this? We specifically told you NOT to go… and what do you do? You go and sneak out. That’s all we asked for you NOT to do”

“I know…” I mumbled

“No, I don’t think you do… We trusted you, Delilah… now that trust is broken”

“Dad, I’m sorry”

“No, Sorry wont cut it Delilah!” He yelled as he turned onto the main road “It wont… We were worry sick about you! Knocking on peoples houses asking if they knew where you were… We thought you got kidnapped or something! We didn’t know! But then we called Sophia and asked if she knew where you were and she told us… God, We were worried sick!”

“I know..” I repeated.

My father then shook his head as we waited for the light we were waiting on to turn green “We trusted you..” he repeated again.

“I’m sorry” I told him

Once the light turned green in front of us my dad stepped on the gas, making us move forward. We then heard the sound of a cars engine roar down the street. I turned to where the noise was coming from, I saw two head lights hauling towards us, I saw the worried look on my fathers eyes before I heard the sound of a our cars colliding together, making a loud crashing noise. Metal twisting, Glass shattering, the noise of rubber burning on the ground. It all happened so fast. Our car spun before it flipped into a ditch. We were upside down, I hung there with my leg caught between my seat and the glove department that was now harshly pressed against my leg

“D-Dad..” I called out with a weak voice. My air bag was pushing me up against my seat that now had shattered glass all over it. The seat belt was confining me from moving “Dad!” I said as loud as I could but with no reply “Please… T-tell… Say something..” I begged, with tears now streaming down my face

I heard the sound of people slamming their car door and running towards our car “help..” I quietly said, I tried to move but the stick shift was stabbing me in my side “Help my dad… He needs help” I cried out

“D-ad Say something..” I then turned my head to face him, not wanting to see what I saw, his head was turned away from me but I saw the blood that dripped off of him. Glass was all over him. The steering wheel was pressed against his chest. The sound of police cars stirred in the background “Please..” I begged… And I kept begging for a reply.. a reply I will never get… ever.



I got knocked out of my horrific flashback by someone slamming their locker beside me, making me jump before I turned away from the group of people who were now giving me weird looks. I touched my face and felt the tear that were running down my cheeks. I quickly wiped them away, now very happy that i decided to wear water proof mascara today..

"Hey, Delilah" I heard someone say as they walked closer towards me. i didn't turn around to face them, i just looked at my closed locker, gazing at it, "Delilah.." They said as they place their hand on my shoulder, but I moved away from their touch.

I stood there for a bit more, hoping they would walk away but to no avail. I then decided to turn around, when I did I was faced with two emerald eyes that had a worried look in them "Hey, Harry.." I said, with my voice a bit shaky.

"Is everything okay?" He asked me.

"Yeah, I'm just tired.."

"Delilah, Are you okay?" He asked for a second time in a more serious tone. I stood there, looking at him, pending if i should tell him what was wrong or to demand that everything was 'fine' and that i was 'okay'.

I stared at him for a little while more before giving in "I'm... I'm just so unhappy. I'm so sick of everything... Don't take this personally but I am just done with everything. I dont know how much longer I can last, faking the smiles... I dont know how much longer I can take this.. I just dont know, Harry, I dont.." I admitted with a weak voice.

I stood there, in front of him, feeling exposed and waiting for him to turn around and say that i was 'too much' for him, but instead he got closer to me, wrapped his arms around me and hugged me. He squeezed me with the right amount of squeeze and his warmth radiated onto me. "It's okay...Delilah, Everything will be okay" He assured me in a whisper.

I then began to hug him back, with the same amount of meaning that was in his embrace "You can get through this" He told me. "I know you can"

He then let go of me, and smiled... that stunning smile, showing of his dimples that made me melt. His hair, that flowed in every direction and never looked bad even if you ran your fingers harshly through it. His soft pink lips that were now pulled into a smirk. Harry then chuckled knocking me out of my awkward gazing at him.

"Do you need a ride home?... I can ask Tanner if he can drop you off.." Harry questioned.

I shook my head "Thank you, harry.. But I dont like cars... Not after.. yeah. So I'll walk home" I told him, picking up my backpack from the ground.

"Well, I can walk with you.. I mean, if you want me to" He said, nervously rubbing the back of his neck.

"What about Tanner?"

''I'll just tell him in walking home with you.." He smiled.

"Well, okay.. My house isn't that far.." I informed before we both walked out of the school, heading towards my house.






Harry and I were both cracking up in laughter as he admitted one of his crazy party stories that Him and Tanner were included in "Yep," He began "He woke up in just his boxers outside in the front yard... He doesn't remember how he got in that situation" He chuckled

"And what about you? Where were you?" I asked him, grinning.

"I think i was outside in the hot tub that was filled with jello... I think i was wearing a bikini.. I'm not sure" He laughed

I then was put in a fit of giggles "Oh my god, i would have paid to see that!" I exclaimed.

"I bet.." He said as we reached my house "Soo..." He said, rocking back and fourth on his feet.

"Sooo.." I said, "You want to hang out? I mean, we are supposed to hang out later today... at that pizza place right?"

"Yeah, sure.. I Mean, i dont have anything to do" He smiled, as we both started to walk towards my front door before we heard the sound of a car swerve into my drive way.

Harry and I both turned to face a black car that engine was cut off before the person stepped out, "Delilah.." He called out. He Then slammed his car door behind him..Conner "You see! I knew you were sleeping together..." Conner said as he stormed toward us.

"Sleeping together? What?" Harry said, confused and dazed about what was going on.

"We aren't sleeping together.. We are just hanging out" I said.

"Listen, I came here to apologize.." Conner said, straitening our his jacket.

"Okay... Go ahead" I said.

"Listen I'm sorry, Jailbait..."

Harry the scoffed, making Conner and I look at him "You have something to say?" Conner asked Harry, scowling him.

"I do actually..." Harry said, "Her name is not 'jailbait' its Delilah. Stop calling her jailbait...Its Delilah May.. Its a beautiful name for a beautiful girl.." Harry said, looking at me.

"Listen dont tell me what to call something that is mine" Conner bit at him.

"She isn't yours!" Harry yelled, He then bit down on his tongue, calming himself down "i think you should leave.."

Conner rolled his eyes, "I'll only leave if jailbait tell me to.."

They both looked at me, expectantly. I opened my mouth to speak "Conner... You should leave" I told him, looking at the ground.

He then shook his head "You know what... I'll be back where He isn't around" Conner said, indicating to Harry.

"And You" He said, pointing his finger at Harry "I'll get you later.." He stated before getting into his car and running off.... leaving me even more worried.
