DELILAH

My chest constricted like someone had tied a noose around me and kept pulling it tighter and tighter until I couldn’t breathe.

“That’s not....” My voice cracked as I swallowed hard. “.... That’s not what I said.”

“Oh, don’t you dare lie to me!” she screamed, slamming the empty glass down so hard I thought it might shatter.

“You came home, you were crying, you looked like a mess, and I asked you..... I asked you, and you told me that Damien had.....”

“No!” The words tore out of me, louder than I expected, shaking. “I never said that! I never said he raped me.... I never even told you his name! I just told you I was going through something and I needed my mother.....”

My voice broke, but the fury in me didn’t. “You’re the one who decided something bad had happened to me, just because you couldn’t fathom that someone.....that a man would want me, would want to be with me that way!”

The room went silent for a split second. I saw something dark flash across her face before her hand

  • 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’

  • THE NIGHT HE WANTED ME    New Territory

    DELILAH“Mom,” I began, my voice trembling, but she cut me off.“Do not call me that. Do not call me your mother. I’m not your mother,” she snapped, her eyes sharp and unforgiving. “If I were, you wouldn’t be doing all these things....trying to destroy my life, to destroy my marriage, to destroy the family name." She shook her head then."Do you know how important the Blackwater name is? And you’re trying to put a stain on it.”Her voice rose, fury and disbelief twisting together. “For generations, the Blackwater name has been noble, tied to noble professions. But you.....you’re failing. You’re not doing well in class. You have no artistic talent in your body. You’re never going to amount to anything. You’re nothing but a burden to the Blackwater name. And we already made a mistake, taking you on as a Blackwater. We’ve been giving you everything so you wouldn’t tarnish the Blackwater name. And what do you do?”She paused, as if expecting me to answer. I stayed silent.“You decided to

  • THE NIGHT HE WANTED ME    Wrong Side of Town

    DELILAHMy mom blamed me.She blamed me for the fact that Dad left.She blamed me for the fact that Dad was with another woman.And I still don’t understand how I had anything to do with that. I had never even been to their office. I didn’t know anything about their job or their drama, but somehow it was my fault.Apparently, her forcing me to lie, to say someone had raped me, was what finally dragged Dad back to the house. And when they realized there was no case, that I had lied…I became the last strThe nail in the coffin.The reason Dad left for good.So now, I was officially the most hated person in the house.I couldn’t do anything right.I couldn’t say anything right.Sometimes, Mom would wait up for me until ten, sometimes until eleven, just so she could start screaming the second I walked in the door.She would let loose on me, tell me what kind of disappointment I was, what kind of leech I was, what kind of monster I was.A Homewrecker..... She loved that one.She had a na
