Delilah pov
First senior Friday, or as Leighton students call it, FSF. Emory previously told me seniors had some activities and this year was cliff jumping. There is a cliff near the beach which is in between the actual Leighton town separated from the boarding school.
Today started calm. I saw Logan in physics and then again in gym class. We both didn't say a word and tried to stay as far away as possible. Lunch rolled around, and I ate with Emory in the cafeteria. My appetite has been growing, so I'm thankful about that. We haven't talked much to Cleo since that day, but it's fine. Everytime I see her in Ap lit I say hello and we talk.
I've been skating frequently and my new coach arrives next week to train me. The ICES program provides me a coach and it will be exciting to compete again; sadly, my mom and dad both won't be there. It would be better that way, I've had no progress on my triple axel and I'm starting to get frustrated.
The bruises are fading quickly. When Logan surprised me with my shirt up I froze. I didn't know what to do, but luckily he didn't suspect anything. Anyways I would have to lie about how I got that bruise. My dad always told me if I ever told a living soul about what happened behind the curtains, number one no one would believe me and over the years I started to think that was true because no one seem to care of the big bruise on my knee, or the one on my face even though he forced me to cover up. Number two the worst punishment. Once I tried telling on him to Amber's dad and when he told my dad all hell broke loose. I remember every single detail about that exact day. I remember the beatings lasted until my breath was mixed with my own blood. My body was a plain canvas and in a matter of minutes all I could see, touch, feel, eat, drink, and breathe was blood. That's the day I became unfixable.
My last period, which is AP statistics, was going pretty quickly. That's when Silas bursts my bubble thought
"Do you have a sharpener," he asks and I nod giving him my sharpener
"What are you doing for FSF," he asks as I give him the sharpener
"Probably go to the cliff and then stay there for a while before returning home," I say turning to him
"Will you stay for the party," he asks and I frown
"What party?" I say finding my attention getting drawn to Silas
"There's a bonfire party, it's the first of the year and the last until next spring," he says
"Oh okay," I say blankly
"You could come if you'd like," he says and I smile
No boy other than Logan had made time out of his way to make me feel comfortable. He is making me feel special
"Yeah, I'll maybe stay a while," I say smiling and turning my attention back to the board.
I finish my last period and as the bell rings everyone rushes out of the classroom and I find Emory since she texted me saying she wanted me to meet her.
"Hi," she says and I wave
"What's that about a party at the beach," I say walking alongside her
"Oh that's just a bonfire party I forgot to mention," she says taking out her phone
"Can we go?" I ask
"Yeah sure, but only if you let me style you," she says and I nod
"Okay, I gotta go pick something up from my dorm and I'll meet you there," I say parting my own way
I walk and find Blake, Logan's friend, nearby.
"Hello, on your way to your dorm," I ask him
"Yep, you,"
"Same, I forgot something," I say smiling
"Did you hear about Logan," he says and I frown
"No, what, is he okay," I ask and he laughs
"Everything is fine, I was talking about the fact he is hockey captain," he says and I sigh relieved
"Yeah, he told me , I'm so happy for him," I say entering the dorm and he takes a left while I have to get up some stairs because the elevator was out of service
"See you later," he says and I get up the stairs as fast as I can
I open the door and find Logan already there laying on his bed with his white shirt unbuttoned.
"Hello," we say in unison
I take my earphones which I left, say goodbye, and make my way out. Did my eyes see right or he had a 6 pack.
I brush the thoughts out of my mind, put my earphones on and walk to the girls dorm where I would meet with Emory to get ready.
I put my playlist and the first song was mess it up by Gracie Abrams. I hum along to the song and once it finishes I pick up my pace since I see the girls dorm building nearby .
I go up to her room and knock. Her roommate, a beautiful redhead with wavy hair, opens the door and she lets me in.
"Okay we have swimsuits here, and cover ups for after, and the party," she says excited and I don't think I've ever seen her excited about anything except pouring orange juice down Alison's shirt
"Okay, I'll like a one piece, not a bikini," I say looking at the options
"You have a beautiful body by the way," she says and I smile
"It's not that it's just with ice skating I fall a lot and I have this ugly bruise I don't want to show," I say and she smiles
"Everything is new by the way, I bought everything this week," she says and I stand there astonished .
Money must be funny to have so much extra.
I picked a blue swimsuit and tried it on and it looks amazing. It covers all the right parts while still giving me body definition.
"It looks amazing on you," she says and I smile
"Thanks, should I style it with overalls or a massive shirt or hoodie," I ask her
"Clearly the shirt she says handing me a oversized shirt. Choose one and comment here or on my tiktok the photo I'll like the most will get a follow :)) - Belli
"Which one," she says, holding a green one and a beautiful white bikini. It was strapless and had a circle in the middle
"White one, for sure," I say nodding
She goes to the bathroom and the bikini hugs every curve on her perfectly. She looks stunning
"Beautiful," I say and we both smile
"Ok now let's chill and go later," she says and I get into a bean bag in her
...
We arrive in Emory's black Porsche and I see the multiple luxury sport cars in the beach parking lot.
"Everyone get ready we are going on five minutes," a girl screams and Em and I start to make our way to the top of the cliff
"Gosh this is tall," I whisper to myself as we arrive to the top where multiple people already were
"What'd you say," Emory asks and I nod no
We get ready to jump and Lord and behold I get placed next to Logan. I start down the cliff and I get the chills. Ever since I remember I've been scared of heights and cliff jumping doesn't exactly help the situation.
I looked over to Logan and he was looking at me weirdly.
"What, want me to hold your hand," he says grumpily and I ignore him
What was his problem
"On the count of three," a girl says
"One, two and... three," she says and Emory takes my hand jumping to the cliff
The adrenaline was rushing off of me and I felt everything freeze. It moved so quickly and that thrill was amazing.
Before I get off the water I feel someone carry me up. Silas carried me up to the chore laughing as he placed me down while Emory was dead staring at him.
Everyone by this point is out except for Cleo. I put on my shirt watching her search frantically
"Is everything good Cleo?" I scream at her
"No, I can't find my top," she say and I walk to the water as she covers her boobs
"Come on girl, take off your hands," a boy says and Emory is about to go off on him but Cleo wins her at that
"How about you take your hands and shove them up your fucking ass since it's where your head is," she says and Emory stays dumbfounded walking to me
"I changed my mind I do like her," she whispers and I laugh walking to the deeper side of the water trying to find her top
"Found it," I say pulling a green top from the water covered in seaweed
"Really, thanks " she says taking it with one hand and covering her tits with the other
"Here we'll covering you," I say taking off my shirt I had put on not so long ago and using it to cover her body
"Thanks girls, really," she says putting on her top
"Of course, no problem," Emory says and I smile
"Okay, now let's go," I say getting under water and swimming as cleo walks
I get out on the chore and see Silas waiting on me at the bonfire
"Cleo want to come to the bonfire party, we're staying a bit," I say and she smiles putting her white long sleeve on and giving me my shirt and walking with us
"Hello Silas," I say greeting him
"Hello Delilah," he says offering me a beer but I quickly decline it
"So this is the new girl you've been talking about," a friend of his says lookin at me up and down and I start to feel conscious
"The Delcourt roomie," other boy says and Silas rolls his eyes
"She is not his booty call," he says and I smile
It's nice seeing someone do something for you even though it's the bare minimum
"I'm not gonna lie, he looks like he would kidnap me and put me in his truck," Cleo whispers and I try to hold my laughter but I just can't
"Hey, don't be mean," I say and Emory comes back with two beers one for her and one for I don't know who
"For who is the other beer," I ask her, opening the beer since Emory couldn't open both.
"For me because if I'm going to be hanging out with them Imma need a little of alcohol on my system," she says taking my opened beer and taking a swig
I don't judge, but I will always feel a little bit of resentment towards people who drink.
I take the other bottle and open it for her and when I look to my left and see Alison with her friends rolling her eyes at us
"What's her problem," Cleo asks and I shrugg
"We use to be best friends in middle school until she did the unthinkable," Emory says and I frown
"You too used to be friends ?" I ask and she nods drinking again
Time passes by and I'm cautious around my surroundings and all the alcohol. I turn my body and see Silas walking over where Logan was. I couldn't hear the beginning of the conversation I only caught the end
"Come on man it's just a swig," Silas drunkenly says handing a canned beer
"You know I don't drink," he says angrily clenching his fist open and close
"Why, oh right because you are a alcoho-" Silas says but before he could finish that sentence Logan punched him
"What the fuck," I say walking over with Cleo and Em
"It's not FSF without a fight she says running somewhere we could see better
"You see why I was choose captain and not your pathetic ass," Logan says and Silas swings but Logan blocks it punching him in the eye once again
"I bet you just threw money," Silas says panting hardly wiping the blood off his cheek as Logan took off his shirt and wipped the blood under his nose and knuckles
Then everything became a blur, I was hearing but I was not there for some reason I remembered the first time my dad hit me.
Flashback her 14 birthday
"Good morning dad," I said as I walked down the stairs, but quickly came to the realization there would not be a birthday breakfast
"You woke me up from my nap," he angrily said getting up and drinking from his beer
"I'm sorry," I said sadly
"Did you forget what day is it," I asked him and he rolled his eyes
"Oh shit I forgot it was your birthday," he said walking to the freezer taking some pancakes putting them on a plate into the microwave and when they came ou he almost threw it on the table
"This is cold," I say taking a bite out of it
"Look you ungrateful little shit," he said and he hit me he hit me the first time in 14 years. He slapped me in the face
I cry leaving the table and running to my room.
That day, the day it all started, he hit me three times: one on my face, another on the upper back and one in the lower back. That day I wrote to Logan a letter, but never sent it. I learned I had to do everything alone.
Flashback over
Blake and Grayson could get them apart as they try to provoke each other.
"Come on Delilah we gotta go," Silas says as I watch Logan
"It's him or me," Silas says and I stand the indecisive
"Yeah Delilah, him or me," Logan says mockingly
