Delilah POV
I woke up at 6:30 in the morning. I have an hour to get ready. I never eat breakfast or lunch on school days. Only dinner but I end up throwing that up most of the time.
Today I was wearing a Never Shout Never tee, gray skinny jeans, and black converse. I left my brown and black hair down. I didn't feel like doing anything with it.
It was 7:16 by the time I finished. I sat down and watched some Tom and Jerry. I love this show and a bunch of the old cartoons. The new ones are just stupid nonsense that is a waste of my brain cells.
I heard a honk and shut off the TV. I grabbed my backpack and slung it over my shoulders. I left a note on the counter for Josh even though I'm going to call him later.
I shut the door making sure it was locked. Walking over to my driveway I noticed Onyx had his motorcycle and not a car. Which meant I would be pressed up against him multiple times today. Someone load a gun and shoot me now.
"Good job on not being late." Onyx greeted me. I gave a simple wave, too tired to do anything else.
"Here put this on." Onyx handed me a helment. I slipped it over my head. I got on behind him and held onto Onyx.
"Trying to squeeze the life out of me?" Onyx chuckles out. I roll my eyes and loosen my grip.
"Sorry. I just haven't been on a motorcycle in so long." I say softly. He puts his helment back on.
"So you saying you've been on another motorcycle?" He acts hurt as the bike roars to life. "
"Yeah it was one of my old friends. You remind me of him actually. He had the bad boy attitude and wore a lot of chains, spikes, and black." I say a small smile forming. I miss Leon so much.
"You think I have a bad boy attitude?" Onyx asks sounding amused. I let out a laugh.
"No, you're as cuddly as a kitty and a total sweetheart." I say scoffing. He swerves a bit. I let out a scream. Onyx laughs like the mean person he is.
"You fucking asshole! You could've fucking killed us! I'm going to fucking kill you." I yell out hitting his arm lightly. He chuckles more.
"Damn you got a mouth and an arm." He says chuckling.
"Fuck you." I'm not really mad or worried anymore, but annoyed that he would do that. We could have seriously died there.
"Please don't do that again." I whisper out. It was so quiet and desperate sounding. Onyx slows down so we aren't speeding anymore.
"Okay, I won't." He says softly to me. "I'll be more careful."
I had a small smile on my face. His voice was soothing and calming. I felt safe around Onyx.
"You should talk like that all the time. It makes it sound like you actually give a fuck about the world." I say smiling. I missed motorcycle rides. I love the thrill of it.
"Whatever." He mutters out. Now we have back the Onyx who doesn't give a damn about anything. I sigh and look around, wondering when we will get to school.
"You sigh a lot." Onyx says sighing himself. I roll my eyes and continue looking around.
"How much longer?" I whine getting frustrated with this ride.
"We'll get there when we get there." He grumbles rudely. Mr. Grumpy Pants here.
We pulled into the parking lot of the school. No one was really paying attention but Onyx's friends. They all saw me get off his bike.
He smiled as they started to make they're way over to us. I panicked and hide behind Onyx. He moved out of the way and raised an eyebrow at me.
They were closing in on us when I saw a familiar face. It was Braiden, the pizza delivery guy. Thank the pizza gods for that blue eyed savior!
Right as soon as Onyx's friends were within five feet of us, I took off towards Braiden. I jumped on his back. Of course him not expecting to force, we both fell. A bunch of kids laughed around us.
He was about to yell at me then he saw who I was. A smile crept onto his face.
"Already trying to make me a laughingstock on my first day of school hun?" His voice like velvet. Yep he's totally a gift from the pizza gods.
"Sorry. I just saw you and wanted to say hi. Plus needed a way to get away from Onyx's friends. But since it's your first day here I can show you around." I said embarrassed.
He nods taking my offer. I smile at him and grab onto his arm to lead him around.
"I should get you leash. It would make you easier to drag around." I joked with him. He laughed and tears started to come out of his eyes.
"Shall I call you master then?" Braiden smirked at me. I tried to hold in my laughter. I bet I was red from laughing so hard.
Why did Onyx tell me to stay away from Braiden? The idiot is fucking amazing! My laugh simmered down into a chuckle.
I walked into first hour sighing. Braiden sat next to me since we had this class together. The only classes we didn't have together were third and fourth hour. I looked back and saw Onyx sitting with one of his friends.
He was glaring at me and Braiden. We made eye contact his eyes softened, but as quick as they changed they went back to being harsh and cold. He was hiding something and I wanted to know what it was. He would never tell me though, I'm just his lab partner.
The bell rang signaling school was over. I hanged out with Braiden all day. He's a really great guy. I think I just made a friend!
"Bye Braiden!" I smiled and waved at him. He chuckled and waved back.
"Bye. Text me you crazy bitch!" He yelled out to me. I blushed as the whole parking lot basically heard us.
"Let's go." Onyx said dragging me away. I struggled to get out of his grip at first, but got tried and gave up.
"Jeez quit manhandling me." I brushed off where his hand had been on me. He rolled his eyes at my dramatic response.
We were driving for a while so I fell asleep on Onyx.
"Wake up Delilah." A angelic voice said softly. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. I looked around and saw I was not in my room.
Where in the holy pizza gods am I? I looked down and saw I was in a bed. Not my bed either! This room was so dark. It must be the black paint or it's night time.
"Delilah are you awake yet?" The same voice asked but with more rush. Who the hell is this?
A person appeared out of the shadows. I screamed but a hand was placed over my mouth quickly. I struggled to get away fearing the worse.
"Shhh.. It's me Onyx. My dad is home and I don't want him to hear you. I don't know what he would do if he found you." Onyx says calmly, but I can hear a small bit of fear in his voice.
I licked his hand to get it off my mouth. He retracted his hand and made a disgusted face. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Don't do that again. I'll bite it next time." He said smugly, so I did the stupidest thing ever. I stuck it out again. Sure enough he leaned in and caught my tongue between his teeth. I gasped and pulled away. Doing so I hit my head on the wall behind his bed.
"Fuck tha-" I didn't get to finish my sentence because next thing I know Onyx has his lips on mine. His lips were so soft. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed back. Then I realised what I was doing. I was kissing Onyx Morales. I jumped away breathless and horrified.
"W-why did you k-kiss me?" I asked shaking where I sat. He held the bridge of his nose.
"To keep you quiet and from yelling. Like I said my dad is HERE." Onyx said looking at me then the door. Oops I forgot he was here. He must really care for me not to be heard. I hear a sound like shattering glass. A bunch of swearing comes afterward.
"I need to find a way to get you out of here. It's not safe." Onyx whispers to me. I look over at the door. Is he not going to check on the broken glass. What if his father is in pain?
"Why isn't it safe?" I ask wrapping the blankets around me. All of a sudden a large strike of lighting. A loud rumble follows after it. I cower in the blankets and a whimper comes from out of my mouth.
I feel the bed sink next to me. I'm surrounded in a warm embrace.
"W-what are you doing?" I say my voice shaky. Onyx sighs and pulls me closer.
"You're afraid of storms and my sister used to be the same way." He says holding me to his chest. The way he says the word sister, he sounds pained to say it.
He had moved under the blanket with me. It was awkward but I found comfort in it. He was warm and he smelled really good. A blush creeped onto my face as I realised he never had a shirt on this whole time. He had a nice body for how skinny he was. Onyx was muscular and toned, but skinny as a stick.
My phone buzzed in my pocket. I moved around to get it but a strike of lighting sent me flying into Onyx's arms. I had my arms wrapped around his body and my head was on his chest. My eyes were clencthed shut.
I could hear the air being knocked out of him. I feel really bad for doing that.
"Sorry! I got scared a-and... and I'm sorry." I say closing my eyes tighter. All I felt was a hand stroking my hair back. I loved when Josh would do this to me. It always calms me.
"It's okay." He whispers out. I reached for my phone and saw a text from Josh.
"Don't come home. Stay where you are. We are having severe weather. It's too dangerous and I don't want to risk it. Love Josh."
"You can stay. I wasn't going to let you go in this weather anyways." He says over my shoulder. He read over my shoulder? That's my personal space! I smile and nod. It's nice of him to let me stay.
I was staring to fall asleep in his arms. He was petting my hair so it's putting me to sleep, plus it was warm.
"Goodnight." I mumbled out.
"Goodnight beautiful."
I was too tried to comprehend what he said fully.
Onyx POV
I woke up to yelling. Ah fuck! I carefully got out of the bed. Delilah really shouldn't be here. If my dad finds out about her... I wouldn't know what to do.
I walked out to see my dad yelling at a prostitute. He's sober by now.
"Mr. Morales it's me, Britney. I came home with you from the bar last night. Don't you remember?" She says trying to touch up on him.
"What are you talking about?! I have a lovely wife, whom I would never cheat on. Get out of here ya whore!" He yelled at her.
I wanted to grab his neck and strangle him up against the wall. Wife? Ha ha funny. She was more of a punching than anything and after she died you moved on to me.
I felt bad for her. She looked confused as she picked up her belongings. Britney stumbled out of the house.
He sat on the couch and buried his head in his hands. At least he's sober. I went out and sat next to him.
"I brought a friend over because we had to work on a project and they had to stay because of the storm." I paused not knowing what to say next. "Umm.. I hope you don't mind." I got up and went to get a glass of water and some pills.
I placed them on the table in front of my father. As much as I wanted to I couldn't hate him. He needs help and I can get him it.
"Thanks son."
I nodded and strode off to my room. She's safe. I'm glad he's sober or it would have ended badly.
Delilah was still cuddled up in my bed, fast asleep. She was really beautiful and I had liked her for quite some bit. She never noticed me in classes but that's okay because she notices me now.
