My Love; My Life: Slipping Through My Fingers

B: Delilah

*Hey it's Delilah by Jessica Ricca-YouTube*
*for a visual of my character: Delilah Burgess, I refer you back to the chapter labeled 'C: Dal' or you're welcome you make believe the girl singing in the video is her.*
Setting: end of 2037-2038 school year; Talent show, backstage...

     Delilah breathes deep breaths, completely nervous about what she was doing; she had been perfecting the song & begging her parents to let her transfer back to her school in Texas ever since someone showed her the song. She had taken a liking to Dallas Cooper from the moment her came to her defense against Asher Rue-her ex, but she never got to explore that what if cause her parents moved them to New York City. She hated the city-felt like an outcast with her western accent & didn't really have any friends or was popular like she was in her school in Texas. She's the last performance of the night, its moments till she goes on stage & she's nervous as hell about preforming because she's has done it since before moving to New York, when she was a cheerleader. If anyone was to ask her now why she dated the schools mental case: Asher Rue, she wouldn't be able to answer the question even if she wanted to-mainly because she honestly didn't know the answer...

"Be on stand by Ms. Burgess," the talent show director

"..." Delilah just nods

She arrived back at school just in time to finish out the last two terms, her hair darkened since everyone last saw her-so no one she knew recognized her when she got back. It was sort of like getting a fresh start-not even the boy she liked recognized her, but Cali recognized her almost instantly; Cali did approach or saying any to Delilah though, instead, Cali's eyes lite up with recognition after doing a double take when seeing her & just smiled at her. Knowing her best friend, Delilah figured that Cali knew that she was planing something & just thought that Delilah would approach her when she was ready to do so. Delilah soon goes to stand on stage in front of the microphone while the curtain is down & just breathes as she waits for her eyes to be met by the audience as well as hopes to see the boy she likes in the crowd. Curtain goes up, all eyes on her & right there in the front row is a smile on her best friend's face, the boy she likes next to them & their brother...

"Huh!" Delilah takes a deep breath & starts singing

Hey it's Delilah
It's so lonely in the city
Yer a thousand miles away
Tellin yer new gal she's so pretty
As y'all should
I miss when what we had was good, it was so good

Hey it's Delilah
I know I shouldn't be callin
Just know every time I see yer posts
My heart just keeps on fallin
Yer with er
N I miss the guy I knew ya were
Please don't love 'er

Oh it's what ya do ta me
Oh it's what ya do ta me
Oh it's what ya do ta me
Oh it's what ya do ta me
  What ya do ta me

Hey it's Delilah
Gettin by's been pretty hard
Cause every time that I see yer face
I hear the old guitar ya played fer me
The song's ya wrote ya sang ta me
Just a memory

Hey it's Delilah
Sorry if I'm a bother
But I just had ta call ta say
I ran inta yer father
On the street
He spoke of ya he was so sweet
Like y'all so sweet

Oh it's what ya do ta me
Oh it's what ya do ta me
Oh it's what ya do ta me
Oh it's what ya do ta me
What ya do ta me

A thousand miles is pretty far
But nothin breaks my soul n heart
Like watchin ya ferget each part of us
My friends they all make fun of me
Cause they don't know why I can't see
That ya moved on n I wasn't in a rush
Listen I can promise ya
That I'll no longer bother ya
Cause I know that ya won't love me as much
As yer new crush
