I decided that I'm going to stay with Faith the whole day so that Delilah doesn't tell her and buys me some time to think about how to tell her. She was enjoying my attention so much. I just didn't want to take it away from her.
"Oh, here you guys are." Delilah said.
"And here you are." I said frowning.
"So Faith, how are you?"
"Um, I'm great. Why?"
"Oh, Alex didn't tell you?"
"Delilah?" I shouted.
"Okay, he didn't tell me what? Am I missing something?"
"About Paige."
"Delilah." I shouted louder.
"Oh, I know that they went out."
"Oh. Real neat, Alex."
"Faye, you go ahead. I need to talk to her, alone."
"What's going on? Something makes me feel it's not good."
"Everything's great, I just need to borrow your bestfriend."
"You guys better cut this phony attitude out, it's starting to get on my nerves." I shouted.

"What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me Alex? What's wrong with you. You didn't even bother to tell her."
"I tried, alright."
"And you're successful, we should reward you."
"I can't. I love her too much."
"I gave you time till last night."
"Why can't you give me a little more time so that I can figure it out?"
"It'll be too late by then. And I love her just as much as you do, and maybe more. And I can't just let you hurt her."
"Just give me more time."
"I can't." She left.

After class, I could see him leaning against his locker and talking to Ian. I was going towards him but then Delilah pulled me.
"Jeez. I got scared."
"I don't care. There's something you need to know."
"Errrrmmm what?"
"Before you know that, I'm just letting you know that I'm here for you, no matter what happens. No matter what, got it?"
"Delilah, you're freaking me out. What happened?"
"See, I gave Alex time to tell you, but he didn't, so I'm telling you."
"Oh."
"So um Paige and Alex um..."
"Yeah?"
"They slept together."
"What?" It was too much to take in.
"Yes."
"You're lying. There's no way in hell..."
"You think?"
"No. Don't say this."
I could feel the tear running down my cheek.
"This isn't true."
"I wish it wasn't, but it is."
"No, I know him. And, and I, I know his, his, I know his heart, and, and, he promised."
