I sat in Tanners car as we drove to a party that he talked me into going, like always. "Its going to be fun!" He assured me.

"but I was going to wait for her until she got home..." I told tanner as he turned onto a dirt road.

"You need to stop being so protective of her, Man" Tanner began "Its weird.."

"How?.." I said as I turned my head to look at him. His eyes concentrated on the road, but i knew that his mind was somewhere else.

"Because... You just met her. You don't even know her really.. So just back off a little" He said in a serious tone that he only spoke in if he was pissed or truly concerned for someone. And right now, I dont know which one it was.

"Yeah, but who else is supposed to protect her?... She doesn't have a father..." I said, mumbling the last part.

"Let her figure that out on her own, She is a big girl. She has to learn her mistakes on her own, even if it is the hard way.." He told me.

He was right, I didn't know Delilah all to well, but that doesn't mean-

"Remember when we first met?.." tanner asked, knocking me out of my train of thought

I let out a slight chuckle, remembering that day "Yeah .."

"And you know what was happening to me the first time you saw me?"

"You were getting your ass kicked" I smiled

"I was getting my ass kicked... fucking handed to me..." He said with a grin "And you know what you did?.."

"I beat up Jessica Cambell's boyfriend.."

"beat the living shit out of him, Harry. That's what you did.."

"Well, you shouldn't have kissed Jessica!" I laughed.

"Hey, I was a sophomore! My hormones were crazy back then." He chuckled, still keeping his eyes on the road.

"Oh, like that has changed" I scoffed.

"All I'm saying Is" He started "You try to protect people. Its just the kind of person you are.. even if you are hurting yourself you feel the need to protect them... But, Harry.." He said as he trailed off a little bit and cleared his throat "I think... You should just protect yourself for a little while..."

I sat there, letting silence take over us as I thought of Tanners words "Protect yourself". He was right once again, I did need to protect myself from anything, not specifically Delilah, but i just need to learn to think about myself for once. I did come to this school because my mom thought it was more 'safe', maybe It's time to just think about myself for a while. "I think you're right..." I spoke silently

"Don't worry about Delilah she is fine..." Tanner said with a small assuring smile spread on his face.

"Its just Conner I don't trust..."

"You dont even know him, Dude. I mean, yes he messed up in high school, but maybe he has changed...You never know.. Plus, that should be Delilah's problem, not yours" Tanner spoke as he drove his car up a uneasy road before coming to a stop.

"So, I shouldn't hang out with Delilah?" I questioned as I pulled open the door to his Jeep and stepped out, closing the door behind me.

Tanner trailed around the car before speaking to him "No, I'm not saying that.. Just dont get attached to her, because you never know when she may leave.."

"Leave?" I asked.

"Just focus on your friends that you know will stay by your side.." He simply said before we started walking into the woods

'stay on my side?..' is Delilah leaving?.. i wanted to ask but i could tell that Tanner was getting a little uncomfortable with the subject.. "Where is this party anyways?" I decided to question before i started to hear some music pounding in the distance.

Tanner didn't reply back until I saw the head lights of cars lighting onto a lake, making it glow, as I watched someone swing on a rope from on top of a hill before letting go and diving into the water. Some people where on the rocks having a crisp beer or dancing in the back of muddy picky up trucks "Peer lake.." He said with a smirk on his face "Come on.. lets meet up with Megan and Sophia"

I nodded before walking with him...



Delilah

I woke up to the sound of cooking, that one sound that got replaced with a static T.v. for the past 3 agonizing months. The sound that I longed for since the accident.

I sighed before rolling myself out of bed, noticing I still had the outfit Harry picked out for me Last night. What happened to Harry last night? I mean, he left when he said he was going to stay until I get home, but when i got home last night he wasn't here, probably because I arrived at 2 am in the morning, getting lost a couple of times on the way here.

The thing I like about Harry is that he cares and protects me, I haven't had that feeling for a while and I'm kind of glad its back with warm arms.

Last night was a total mess, I thought. The night with Police officers, interrogation and worst of all... yelling at my mother about my fathers death.

I squinted my eyes as I walked down the stairs, the windows were opened, letting warm fresh air fill the house and allowing the sun light fill up the room for once.

"Mom?.." I said as I entered the kitchen. Her hair was washed, and pulled back into a high pony tail. She had on jeans instead of her poka dot pajamas and her shirt did not have a stain on it for once "Whats all this?.."

"Well, I decided to make breakfast" She smiled, I haven't seen her smile in week and when she did... it felt..weird. Like that feeling you get when you see your teacher out in public doing normal things, like you can do those things like I can?

"Yeah.. Uhm, what are you making?" I asked as I ran my fingers through my hair, making it go to one side.

"Pancakes and eggs with some hash browns...I have been craving hash browns.." She grinned before turning to me "You should go change, Hun" Hun? "Go get a shirt from my room, I have to wash you clothes today anywho.." She told me.

Is it bad that I don’t like that she is happy? Maybe a bit too happy? I mean, she has never called me Hun before, and now she is... Maybe that talk last night really hit her. Hit her hard.

"Mom, about last night-"

"You dont want to ruin breakfast do you?" She bit at me.

I shook my head before heading to her now clean room, floors vacuumed, you could actually tell she had carpet. Who knew?

I opened her closet which looked semi-normal besides the fact that half the clothes were gone. Which in this case were none of her clothes, but all of my dads.

"Mom!" I yelled before walking out of her room and towards the kitchen. She stood there folding her arms like she has been waiting for me, expecting me to barge out of that room and come running out to her "where are dad's clothes?" I asked, while trying to seize down my anger

"Charity came and picked then up this morning.." she said like it was the most easiest thing to say. Like it was nothing. Like my dad was nothing.

"What?"

"Look, Delilah.. The only way we are going to get over your father is if.. "

"if we what, mom? Forget about him?" i said,. Being the once to cut her off this time.

"Well, we have no choice, Hun"

I wanted to yell at her "Dont call me that!" But I thought I did enough yelling at her for one day. "You cant just forget about him, mom. it Doesn't work that way!"

"Well, for this case it does!" She yelled back, but not in a ruthless way, It had a pleading nature to it "You don’t know how hard its been for me, They crying. The heartbreak. The thoughts.."

'the thoughts..' she said it as if I was supposed to know what she was talking about,as if I went though all .. the thoughts

"I didn't only lose a husband, I lost everything... You know what that's like?.. to just lose everything in an instant because it was your fault?"

"Mom, it wasn't you're fault I was just mad I didn't know what I was saying-"

"No, Delilah.." She gently hushed me "You were right... I should have picked you up that night.." She said with a sniffle before walking to her room and locking the door behind her.
