Teddy Bears And Owls : An H2OVanoss Fanfiction (BOOK TWO)

Chapter Twenty-seven ~ Hey There Delilah

"Hey there, Delilah, I know times are getting hard, but just believe me, girl, someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar, We'll have it good. We'll have the life we knew we would. My word is good." 

A holding of my hand, a moment of skin brushing together.

" Hey there Delilah, I've got so much left to say. If every simple song I wrote to you
would take your breath away, I'd write it all...
Even more in love with me you'd fall...
We'd have it all..." 

A voice deepening, a shuffle of a guitar being moved closer into a lap.

"Oh, it's what you do to me, what you do to me..." 

A smile taking place on lips, a chuckle being heard from a girl. 

" A thousand miles seems pretty far, but they've got planes and trains and cars, I'd walk to you if I had no other way. Our friends would all make fun of us, and we'll just laugh along because
we know that none of them have felt this way.
Delilah, I can promise you, that by the time we get through...
The world will never ever be the same.
And you're to blame."

A gentle strumming now, a voice gently pronouncing words deeply and meaningly, talking to the girl lovingly.

 "I'll be making history like I do, you'll know it's all because of you.
We can do whatever we want to.
Hey there, Delilah, here's to you...
This one's for you."

A sound of fingers strumming strings softly. 

A image of a girl sitting on the couch with a large belly, a little girl already beside her.

"Oh, it's what you do to me, what you do to me, ohhh, what you do to me, what you do to me."

A sound of lips touching and a distant laugh and little girl making a gurgling sound.

Delilah POV:

"Delilah."
I awoke on a bed. 

Brian was next to me. 
I looked at him.

"What time is it?" I whispered.

"It's six." 

I sat up, looking around.
"Where am I?" I asked him.
"You're in my room. Nicole bathed you. She said you haven't used water so hot," He chuckled.
"You fell asleep after she dressed you. So I brought you back here." 
I stood up and looked around the room. 
"Where's my sister?" I asked.
"She's sleeping in Lui's room. Nogla gave him some space for the night." Brian said.
He stood up beside me and smiled.

I looked at him.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.
"See for yourself, Lily." 

I walked to a mirror and my mouth dropped open. 
I was clean.
Clean.
As in, my hair wasn't all stuck together in wild curls anymore.
It was long and smooth, the curl stopping halfway to my waist.
The blondish color was more of a whitish gold now, instead of a clumpy dirty blonde. 
My lips were smooth, and my face was washed gently. 
I was wearing a pale blue nightdress, tiny blue socks on my feet. 

I smiled, my mouth showing my brilliant white teeth. 

"Oh my God." 
I smelled like strawberries.
I was so beautiful. 

"Lily, you're prettier than you think." He joked. 
I smiled.
"I see that now."

I turned back to the mirror.
"Since I woke up, I've been starting to see things more differently and how they really are." I laughed.
"If that makes sense."

He grinned and kissed my cheek, looking at us in the mirror.

"You always make sense, Lily,"

"Always."

Nicole POV:

It was loud in the kitchen, everyone chatting and eating.
I had made French toast that morning, everyone had loved it.
Luke kissed me on the cheek and sang to Riley, kissing her as well.
We were one happy family at last.
We all were.

All of a sudden, silence fell into the room as Delilah walked across the floor in her PJs on and her hair down in long curls.
She paused and looked around at everyone.

Nogla grabbed Kayle and sat him on his lap, really close.
Just in case.
Luke held Riley tighter.

"What are we having?" Delilah asked.
Marcel politely smiled and stood up, walking over and handing her a plate.

"Welcome home, Delilah." I said.
She smiled.

We were all eating breakfast when Delilah stood up and we all gazed up at her.

Z walked near the room and stood by the door frame.

Delilah POV:

"Listen everyone, I have something to say." I sighed.
They all looked up at me with curiosity.

"I'm here to apologize to every single one of you. I hurt you all very deeply, causing deaths to occur. You all feared me greatly, and I put enough terror in all of you to make many of you have severe losses. Yet here today, I am still welcome to sit here and eat French toast with you. Years ago, I was threatening to kill you. What I did was terrible. And I am so, so deeply sorry. I don't know why I would ever do something like this. You see, me and Z..." I blinked, trying to hide tears.
"We didn't have the best childhood. Our father took her away from me when she was all I had, and I snapped. I took Keenan far, far away, and this is what we did. I'm a horrible friend, a disappointment of a sister, and a maniac. After this, I will get therapy. I will get better, I promise every single one of you, especially Nicole. I hope you have room in your heart to forgive me."
They all looked at me, Lonnah, Chrissy, and Nicole crying.
"Marzia and Felix would forgive you." Delirious said, his voice cracking.
"We all do." Mini nodded.

"I'm sorry for my little sister." Z joked from behind me.
"Being a killer runs in the family." She joked again.

"What about being a crazy badass?" Scotty laughed.

Z POV:

Z laughed.

"That too."

"Ya know, Z," Lui chuckled.
"Why didn't we meet in another life?"

I chuckled.

If only I could tell him we did.
