Mr Bodyguard

He let go of my hand the second we took our seats at the back of the auditorium, much to my disappointment. People may think it's weird that I wanted to hold his hand, but it's like a comfort blanket for me. Just knowing that someone is there, and you aren't alone makes me feel so much more safe, and relieves my stress. It reduces the risk of me having a mental breakdown, which I know would've happened if I didn't hold his hand.

That's why I always hold papa or one of my brothers hand when people come over, it reminds me that they are there with me, and puts my mind at ease.

That's just the way my mind works.

However, it's rare that papa lets me sit at dinner with his associates. He usually tells me to stay in my room, and when I am allowed, I have to stay quiet the whole time, and he dismisses me from the table after I'm done eating. 

He's become a little psychotic when it comes to my safety, but I don't blame him after everything that happened. I know that if my son or daughter went through the same thing I did, I wouldn't want them to be at any sort of risk. Because of this, I just comply with papa's rules. 

Anyways

I think we're a little early to the lecture because we're the only ones here. 

Oh well, I guess we'll just have to wait a little longer. 

Lucifer looks like he wants to rip his hair out.

In fact, he always looks like he wants to rip his hair out. 

His very pretty light brown hair, I'm so jealous of it

Ok that's besides the point

He looks angry all the time, it genuinely concerns me. 

Wait, is it because of me?

Be quiet Delilah, you've done nothing wrong

I mean, apart from talking his ears off, being rude to his dog and calling him old, begging him to hold my hand, asking him extremely person questions-

Yep, it's definitely because of me

"The w-weather is not that bad today," I muttered, breaking the silence. 

Congratulations on being the most socially awkward person Delilah!

Stupid subconscious. 

He gave me one quick glance before looking at the ground again. 

The ground must be very interesting to him, he looks at it a lot. 

I do too.

"Your dog i-is a little scary, but I-I'm guessing he's sweet?"

"Very sweet." 

He stated and I mentally celebrated. 

He said something!

Every time he says something my mood brightens. It feels like I've accomplished something. Sure, it doesn't seem like he enjoys talking, but it's something! Baby steps, he'll be having full conversations with me in no time.

....I hope 

New mission unlocked : Get Mr Alistair to talk to me

It shouldn't be too hard, should it?

"Your name, it's quite uncommon," I started, hoping he'd elaborate. 

"My parents were satanists."
