Awake

DELILAHI lost my appetite. Yes, that’s right. I couldn’t even go downstairs to eat anymore. All I did was go to the bathroom, take a shower, and then crawl into bed.Later in the evening, I knew when Elena came back. How could I not? There were so many voices in the house, laughter, footsteps, doors opening and closing. I even heard my mom. It sounded like a little celebration, I guess.I don’t know who else was there, and honestly, I didn’t really care. The party went on. Nobody came to check if I was in my bedroom, probably because I hadn’t turned on my lights. Nobody cared that I wasn’t there.And it stayed that way until midnight, when the house finally went quiet.It was about 1:30 when I finally decided to go downstairs. Maybe a glass of milk, maybe a sandwich, something to quiet the emptiness in my stomach. The house was silent, the kind of silence that made even the softest footsteps echo. I figured everyone had gone to bed by now.I padded quietly into the kitchen, heating u

A walk

DELILAHThe room suddenly went silent.Elena stopped smiling. Her lips parted, as if she couldn’t believe what I’d just said, like the words didn’t make sense to her, or she couldn’t find the right ones to answer. My mother’s eyes were fixed on me, unblinking, sharp, searching.“What are you saying, Delilah? What are you trying to say?” she asked, her voice low and tense.Elena jumped in before I could respond. “Delilah,” she said carefully, “you must be mistaken. Our dad left this morning. I saw him.”“No,” I said firmly. “I saw him, Mom. Last night. He was sneaking out through the kitchen door. I was in the kitchen at the time. He looked at me. We even talked. It was him.”Elena shifted in her seat. “Maybe you dreamt it, Delilah,” she said in that soft, fake-gentle voice she uses when she’s pretending to be kind but secretly trying to make me doubt myself.“I didn’t dream it,” I snapped, cutting her off. “He had his shoes in his hand and his jacket off. He told me he had to go.”Tho

Left Behind

DELILAHThat day, everything ended with everybody doing their own thing. It was… fun.I ate by myself during lunch and again during dinner. I knew that Mom and Elena were sulking, but I was having a great time. Actually, I had a great night.When I woke up the next morning, I was surprised to hear a knock on my door. I went toward it, and Maid appeared, smiling politely. “They’re waiting for you for breakfast,” she said.That was new. Nobody ever woke me up for breakfast before. But I shrugged and said, “Okay.”I went to the bathroom, washed my face, and threw on a robe over my nightdress before heading downstairs. Of course, when I reached the dining room, I was the only one in my nightwear.My mom was there, dressed impeccably as always, looking flawless. Elena, of course, was dressed for school already, looking neat and pristine. And at the head of the table, my dad.I froze for a second, caught off guard. Seeing him there felt… unusual. My mom piped up, a trace of disapproval in

My Good Day

DELILAHI did not want to be cooped up in the house the whole day, so what did I do? I went to the mall. Because that’s what all teenagers do when they’ve got nowhere else to go. Right'?I wandered through stores, picked up a few t-shirts, bought some clothes I didn’t need, anything just to fill the hours. I did window shopping, tried on clothes I would never wear..... After a while, I ended up at an ice cream court near the center of the mall. I bought myself a scoop and sat at one of those tiny tables, spooning the melting cream into my mouth and people-watching.Families. Couples. Friends laughing too loudly. It was kind of fun, just existing there with no one expecting anything from me. After lunch, I found myself back at the same spot, same table, another ice cream in hand. I didn’t even realize how much time had passed until I heard a voice beside me.“Hey, you been here long?”I turned around, startled, and saw a guy standing there, tall, maybe a year older than me, wearing the

A Great Day

DELILAHThe minute I walk inside the house, I hear voices from the dining room. My mom’s voice, my dad’s, Elena’s high-pitched voice, it all hits me at once. I start walking straight toward the stairs, hoping to escape to my bedroom, but then my mom’s voice stops me.“Delilah, is that you? Come into the dining room. We’re all having dinner. Join us.”I roll my eyes and think to myself: Great. Slowly, I walk toward the dining room, and there they are, my father at the head of the table, my mother to his right, Elena on his left, and, of course, Damien next to Elena.Ever since that day, the day he was planning that stupid surprise in Elena’s bedroom, and I practically forced him to sleep with me, I hadn’t seen him. And now, the moment I see him again, all the anger, frustration, and that tension crash over me. My body tightens. My tongue feels heavy. I just stand there, frozen.“What are you doing just standing there?” my mom asks. “Come, sit. We were waiting for you.”I walk over, si

A Date

DELILAHWhen I go up toward my bedroom, my phone buzzes.: Hey, it’s Jason. Are you good to talk?And that’s where all my energy goes. We chat until I fall asleep, and when I wake up the next morning, it’s him again. I wait for everyone to leave before I go downstairs. I’m still talking to Jason. We’re not even saying anything special, but he keeps the conversation going, and I don’t mind. It’s new. It’s exciting to talk to someone who actually wants to listen, someone who’s curious, who isn’t trying to make me feel small. I don’t even realize how fast the hours go by; it’s just me, my phone, and this easy rhythm between us.Then he asks if we can hang out later. Maybe go to the movies, grab something to eat, whatever I want.And suddenly I’m sitting there thinking, Wait. Is this a date? Am I being asked out on a date?I’m still turning that over in my head when Elena walks in. She’s got her two minions with her, and Aria’s trailing behind. The minute they notice me, they start whispe

Sneak Around

DELILAHAnd before you even ask, yes, I lied.I didn’t tell Jason who I really was. I didn’t mention that I was a Blackwater. I didn’t talk about my family or my house or anything that tied me to that world. The only real thing I told him was my name.... Delilah.Everything else was carefully chosen. Safe. Small truths about what I liked, what made me laugh, things that couldn’t be traced back to who I actually was. I wanted to be there at that moment with him, forget for a while.... An escape.When I got home, I was happy, like actually happy. In a good mood for once. I just wanted to go upstairs to my room, maybe call Jason so we could talk again.... Let him trap me in his world.But the moment I walked inside, I saw everyone in the living room.My mom’s voice cut through the air immediately.“Delilah, come here.”Great!I forced myself to walk toward them. My mother, my father, and Elena were all sitting there. Thankfully, Damien wasn’t around tonight.The second I reached them, Mo

Overshadowed

DELILAHThe next few days feel colored and completely overshadowed by Jason. Every thought, every piece of my attention, every drop of my energy is drawn toward him, toward us and whatever this thing between us is turning into.We talk constantly. Two whole days of messages, calls, jokes, and random stories. It’s like my world has narrowed down to just one person, and honestly, I don’t even mind. My mom told me she didn't want me in the dining room, and I made sure she got just that. I find a way to avoid it, eating in the kitchen, or in my room, out of everyone’s way. I’m not concerned about them anymore. I’m concerned about Jason.What’s he going to say next? When will he text me? Does he think about me the way I think about him?Jason has this way with words, like he knows exactly how to reach the places inside me that no one ever noticed before. He makes me feel good. He makes me feel special. He makes me feel loved. He gives me that one thing I’ve been searching for my whole life

The River

DELILAHAs soon as my dad’s speech was over, I went straight up to my room. I didn’t even bother saying goodnight; it's not like anyone noticed I was gone anyway.I grabbed my phone and called Jason. For some reason, I needed validation....someone to remind me that I mattered. Someone who actually wanted to talk to me, who sounded happy to hear my voice.“Hey,” he said as soon as he picked up. “I was calling you.”“I just got home. I was with my family,” I said, sighing. “What about you? What are you doing?”“Well, I’m at my mom’s shop,” he said. “I’m helping her close up. Haven’t left yet.”“Yeah?”“Yeah.”I went silent for a while before I said it.“So today, when you kissed me…”“Uh-huh,” he answered. “What about the kiss? Do you have any complaints?”I laugh, still not used to his openness. “No complaints. I was just wondering… what the kiss meant.”Before I went over my head, I could almost see his smile through the phone before he said,“What do you want it to mean?”“I don’t kn

It's Not You

DELILAHI turn to him, and in that moment, with the sound of the river and the quiet in between us, I don’t feel invisible. I don’t feel forgotten.Just seen. He did that....When he leans in again, this time slower, gentler, I don’t stop him. Because maybe for tonight, that’s enough.I let him kiss me, let him pull me into this place where I’m seen, where I’m loved, where I matter. Where I’m actually wanted. And when his hand finds my waist and draws me closer, I don’t stop him. When his fingers slide up the back of my neck, tugging gently at my hair until I tilt my head up and he deepens the kiss, I still don’t stop him.Because in that moment, I don’t want to. In that moment, I love the way he makes me feel. The way he silences everything else. The emptiness at home, the part of me that always feels like it’s standing on the outside looking in. Right now, it’s just us. Just this. And I don’t ever want it to end.I start to move my mouth and kiss him back, slipping my tongue past hi
