DELILAH

The woman who had just held me tightly, who had pulled me inside the house with what felt like care, now thundered in my face, shaking the walls.

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” she screamed again, her words piercing, raw, leaving me frozen.

“What do you mean? Why are you talking like this?” I asked, still reeling from the whiplash of emotions, the woman who helped me inside and now this woman, screaming at me.

“Do not play innocent. Don’t play me with that innocent act. I don’t buy it. I found…"

'What are you talking about?” I snapped back with confusion.

“I had to call the police,” she barked. “Delilah! Do you know how worried I was? Do you know how you made me look out there right now because of you?”

I swallowed hard, my throat tight. “I’m still confused.... And why are you at home anyway? You’re rarely at home at this hour or day...."

"That’s none of your fucking business." She snapped again, then continued, "I just wonder what you were thinking.”

  • THE NIGHT HE WANTED ME    Scared

    DELILAHBut that’s not what my mother does.She smiles sweetly at me, too sweetly as she pulls me up and helps set me on the bed. My body still aches everywhere, pain radiating through me from everything she and Elena did yesterday.And yet here she is, smiling.....It feels like mind games.Because right now, I feel so confused. I feel like there’s a big bomb coming, and she’s just preparing me for it.When I’m finally settled on the bed, she takes a few steps back, still standing in front of me. And then she does something strange, she straightens herself, pulls her shoulders back, lifts her chin. Her posture is perfect, her expression calm, almost elegant. It’s as if she’s preparing herself for a presentation.“Well,” she begins, her tone light, casual, too casual.“First of all, we are not going to say anything about what happened yesterday. In my defense, I was drunk, and you got on my last nerves.”She pauses, almost like she’s waiting for me to thank her before adding,“But, I f

  • THE NIGHT HE WANTED ME    I'll Help

    DELILAHThe room went quiet, too quiet. We could only hear Damien's and Elena's footsteps fading up the stairs. My mom waited until we could no longer hear them, before she let me go and turned to face me. She bent over me and gritted out,"You see what you did? You see what you do?"I could only stare at her in fear and try to pull away, but it didn’t stop her. She stepped closer."This is what you are, an attention seeker, a problem maker. You already created a problem, and now you want to add another one? What? So, because you saw Damien, you think he’s your angel? You really think he’s gonna save you? Haven’t you learned anything? He loves Elena, not you. Get that through your head."I didn’t. I tried to say that, but my mom put her hand back on me, on my shoulder. She didn’t press, but it was enough to show that she could still do what she wanted."Listen to me, Delilah. You have already crossed all lines you could cross, and right now, the only reason I'm still here, and the on

  • THE NIGHT HE WANTED ME    Take care Of Her

    DELILAHMother watched me for a moment, and then, with a cruel calmness, she said, “The only place you’re going is upstairs to your room. You’re going to take a deep sleep and pretend that today never happened.”Her voice dropped lower, her grip tightening.“But it’s going to serve as a reminder next time you need reminding.”I swallowed hard, the ache in my throat matching the ache everywhere else.“I don’t want any more traumas,” I whispered, more to myself than to her.“Then remember,” she hissed. “You are still under the Blackwater’s protection. And I won’t let you make more of a mess of this family or its name.”Her hand finally dropped from my arm.“So upstairs,” she ordered, her voice leaving no room for argument. “Right this minute.”I started crying then. Not the quiet, hidden kind of crying I’d been doing for months, no. This time, I didn’t hide. I didn’t even try to act strong in front of her anymore.For the first time, I let it all go.I let myself feel everything, the pa

  • THE NIGHT HE WANTED ME    Please

    DELILAHI curled into myself, trying to protect my face and my head. My breath came fast, shallow, each one hurting more than the first.“Stop it!” I screamed. “Please stop.... Please stop.”But the words didn’t matter. They weren't listening. They didn’t want to listen.... They kept hitting me.I heard Elena laughing, a sharp, ugly sound that made my stomach twist.“You deserve this. You deserve this,” she kept shouting as she rained blows down on me.Tears ran down my cheeks, hot and bitter, but I refused to cry out loud. Not for them. Not while they were doing this to me. I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction.As I lay there still, they kept hitting me and hitting me. And then… I just stopped struggling.I let them.... I just let them keep hitting me.Then, somewhere through the ringing in my ears, I heard a phone call. Elena froze, then muttered something under her breath. Then she left the room.My mom stopped hitting me, too. I didn’t know what she was doing because I hadn’t got

  • THE NIGHT HE WANTED ME    Ganging Up On Me

    DELILAH“No!” The word ripped out of me before I could stop it. It came out louder, harsher, more defiant than I’d intended.... but I didn’t care.Both of them froze.Elena’s brows shot up, her mouth twisting into a smug little smirk like she’d just been handed front-row tickets to my destruction. Mom, on the other hand, went deadly still, her tear-streaked face going rigid.“What did you just say to me?” Her voice was low, quiet... too quiet.“I said no,” I repeated, forcing my voice to stay steady even though my chest felt like it might cave in. “I’m not quitting. I can’t. I....”“You can and you will!” Mom shouted, cutting me off so sharply it made me flinch. She pushed Elena away and stood, her hands balled into fists. “You will march back there tomorrow and tell them you quit. You will stop embarrassing this family. Do you understand me?”“I’m not embarrassing this family!” I yelled back, the words spilling out before I could stop them.Mom’s eyes widened like I’d just slapped h

  • THE NIGHT HE WANTED ME    No

    DELILAH “Well,” Elena began, clearing her throat dramatically. “Like I told you, Mom,” she said in that annoyingly childish voice she always used with our parents, the one that grated on my nerves every time. “I heard people talking,” she continued, putting a hand to her chest like she was the victim here. “They said Dad has left the house, that he’s no longer taking care of you, and that we were broke, that we were beggars now. That we didn’t have any money.....” My mother’s eyes immediately narrowed on me. “Anyway,” Elena went on, “you know me, Mom. I wouldn’t let anyone talk about our family like that, not behind our backs, not to my face. So I confronted them.” She paused for dramatic effect, enjoying every second of this. “And that’s when they told me your dear daughter.... me, has a sister who’s been playing cheap little waitress in some slum diner on the other side of the city.” My mom’s head whipped back toward me like a viper. “Did you hear that?” she snapped. “That’
