Delilah Morecelli

Chapter 11

I was in the hospital for hours, I felt even more uncomfortable in my skin while the nurses gave me sympathetic looks. I just wanted to go home.

I just wanted to sleep and not wake up. I'm so tired. "Del we can go home now" funny home that's not my home anymore.

I got off the chair and made my way towards my mom who grabbed my arm and held on to it. "The twins are finally home" I nodded not enthusiastically as I would have usually reacted before.

The car ride was silent, I didn't feel like talking at all. When we pull up to the drive way the twins open the door and come straight for me. I hug them back both, "how was nyc?" I asked them to try and steer the topic away from me. I don't feel like talking about it.

"Angel we know what your trying to do. But it was good, we would have to take you one day. We love you " I hummed in acknowledgment and walked into the house. I look towards the living room, and freeze up remembering what happened in that place. I shake out of it and go to my room. Ignoring everyone.

I went to bed without eating anything, I don't think I can have an appetite right now. When I woke up and checked the time, it was only 2am.

I open my phone and see all the missing messages I had.

I don't want to see anyone right now. What will they think of me?
I click out of the groups chat. And click on other messages.

I can't let Cynthia get hurt. I can't let her go through that. I need to distance myself from them. They wouldn't care, they've all been friends longer before I came along. They'll be ok.

I fell back asleep and by the time I woke up it was 12:30 I was so late to school but I didn't care this time. I didn't even want to go, I don't have the energy to do anything. "Angel you have to eat something" Elijah knocked on my door before entering. He came and sat on my bed.

"I'll go downstairs in a little. Thanks for checking up on me" he kissed my head while I tensed and I think he noticed as his smile dropped and he was staring at me. I just don't want anyone to touch me.

"I'm sorry" I look at him tears in my eyes. He sat on my bed and hugged me to his chest. "Don't be sorry Delilah, it's not your fault." I nodded and with that he left.

But it was my fault, I didn't see the signs. I showered and scrubbed my body until it's red, I can still feel his touch and the bruises just remind me of what happened.

I go downstairs and make myself a sandwich, not sure if I'll be eating it. "Delilah honey if you want space we understand alright? We'll be here for you no matter what" I looked at my mom who looked so tired. I'm sorry

I gave her a smile although I don't think it reached my eyes, I didn't really care. I went up to my room ate half my sandwich and went back to sleep. I'm not ready to see him at school, I hate him, I hate him so much for what he did to me. I didn't deserve it
