A Girl & Her Camera (18+)

Chapter 8

Kailix's POV
Delilah called me. She was talking so fast to the point where I couldn't understand her. A week later, Delilah and her mom went to look at a house that was 15 minutes away from my house.

3 weeks later...they ended up getting the house. I started helping them pack.

"Aren't you going to miss it here?"

"Probably not. I'll be closer to you and my mom's side of the family."

"You're okay with starting over?"

"Yeah. This town was starting to get boring anyway."

I helped them unpack and set up their new house too. I picked up a poster of me.

"Uh are your posters going back up?"

Delilah quickly grabbed it outta my hands.

"Uhhh nope! I get to see the real thing everyday soooo...."

"You start school here tomorrow right?"

"Yeah. Do you still go?"

"No. I don't. I only do online school. It's easier for me. I'm allowed to go to dances and I'll be able to graduate with everyone though."

"C-can I trust anyone there?"

"Yes honey. You can. My cousin goes there. I'll ask her to keep an eye on you. I'll drop you off and pick you up everyday if you want."

"Really?! Can you?!"

That got her excited?

Damn.

She's too cute.

I'm definitely marrying this girl.

Yep.

I'm gonna.

"Oh and I'm pretty sure....an overnight trip is coming up in about a month. Maybe....you can join last minute."

"Are you allowed to go on those?"

"Yeah. I actually will be."

I kissed her.

"I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow. I love you."

"I love you too!"

I left her house then got in my car. I started driving to Dawson's house. I pulled into the driveway then got out of my car. I locked it then walked up to the front door.

I knocked on the door. Dawson's wife opened it.

"Hey Lix."

"Hi Barbie."

"UNCLE KAIIIIIIIII!"

I heard footsteps running.

"UNCLE LIXXXXXXXX!!!"

My niece ran up to me then jumped into my arms.

"Hey Selena. How're you?"

"Okay! How are you?"

"Good. I just finished helping my girlfriend and her mom unpack. Where's your dad?"

"In the kitchen!"

I walked inside.

"Yo! Dawson!"

Dawson walked up to me.

"Bro...you look like hell. Rough night?"

"Something like that. How's Deli?"

"She's okay. I just finished helping them unpack."

"Does she seem happier yet?"

"Kinda? She's only been here for less than 2 weeks."

"Uncle Lixie?"

"Hm?"

"Can I meet your girlfriend?"

"I'll ask her when I see her tomorrow."

"What's her name again?"

"Delilah."

"Like the song?!"

I chuckled.

"Yes. Like the song."

"Is that her favorite song?"

"It's one of her favorites. She's been in a Taylor Swift mood lately though."

"Does she like You're On Your Own, Kid?!"

"Yes. She loves that one."

"Can I make her a friendship bracelet?!"

"Sure. I'm sure she'd love it."

Selena's face lit up.

"Really?!?!"

"Yeah."

The next morning, I woke up and got ready to go to Delilah's house. Her mom answered the door and let me in.

"She might be sleeping still. She had a hard time winding down."

"Okay. I'll go check on her."

I walked to Delilah's room. I saw she was still sleeping. I walked up to her bed.

"Lily? Sweetheart? "

I moved hair out of her face.

"Deli?"
