Story of Delilah

Chapter 1

Life used to be so simple as a kid , there were bright Colours, silly stories, big imagination?
Now we just all think , where did that go? Why did it all change.

I don't remember most of my childhood. The biggest memory I probably have is when I was 6 years old playing downstairs of my house with my sister Lilly, when we heard a knock at the door so we called are mom Vivian, who came running down the stairs shortly after .she opened the door to two people with a microphones and a camera "hello we our reporters for Kelowna news, are you Vivian ? We'd like to talk about you husband Liam" the asked . My mother slammed the door on them yelling at them to "get lost" then she ran up stairs and called someone on the phone , I looked over at my sister back at our dolls then over to my sister again "is everything ok" I asked "why do they want to know about dad" Lilly looked at me and shrugged. My mom came back down the stairs and told us to get into the car , my two brothers David and James followed behind her , we all put on her shoes and opened the door .

As we walked to the car the reporters chased us asking as all kind of questions, my sister Lilly covered my face with while she helped me get into my moms van and we drove away . Up the hill into the upper mission of our town to my mom's close friends house  where we stayed. For 3 weeks

Months passed and we were back at home , less reporters but there was one everyone and then , still confused I was stuggling at school all the kids where glaring at me like I was some strange creature they have never seen before.
Later on one day I was at my grandmas house with my siblings while my mom was at work and the phone rang . Mg grandma picked it up , called me over and sit it was for me it was liam
"Dad where are you? Why do people keep asking about you , why is mom so mad at you" I cried over the phone
There was a long pause and Liam sighed
" well I won  trip and your mom was mad she didn't get invited" he said ,
"When will you come back " I asked
"Im going to be gone a while but I promise you I will send you cards"
The phone hung out
After that months went by and I never heard from Liam , my mom or the rest of my family never talked about him .

When I was old enough to understand I found out Liam was in jail 7 years  for an unspeakable crime and my mom threw out all his letters and blocked the calls
After that my life changed forever
