Lives on the Road

Confessions and Drinks

Delilah POV:

So the guys went for drinks and Cass and Eli went to go get food and invite people. I'm here with Jaz. I have to say it's odd I wonder if she is hormonal as she always has been. I feel her look at me at times but I don't want that.... I want something else.
"Hey Delilah we have to talk." Jaz says walking in the cabin. "What is it asshole.?" I say laughing. "I'm serious. I don't know how to say this but, I can't stop thinking about us. Where we left off. I thought after two years of reflection and away from you would get rid of this. But it hasn't ever since the trip started I can't look at you and think of what we could be. But Chris . I can't leave him either it's just I feel different around you and...." I cut her off "OH HELL NO! You will not come back after two years with that bullshit. You know I don't roll like that I have told you! You have a boyfriend I don't come on this trip for you. I came for my friends for a good time for a new start not for a time travel back in time to this so back up and open your eyes you and I will never happen! Ever! We are friends! I don't want anything more than that from you. Look at Chris be with him you act so happy but if your telling me this than its obvious that you don't love him. So learn too. Erase me from this equation." I say a little to harsh but she has to know. I will not go down that path again. Not on this trip not ever.
She stands there starring at me like she got shot. Speechless.
"Delilah. I love Chris . And I know that me approaching you is not right trust me I know. You can't make me feel more like a bitch than I can. That's why I'm telling you . I can't keep it in. I can't. I can't be here with both of you here." She says approaching me.
I step back. "Stop there. I don't . You need to pull your shit together before this ruins this entire trip." I say walking away.
"Hey we are back! Are the guys back?" I hear Eli call. "Not yet. But I got the place set up." I say "try to forget will you." I whisper to jaz who seemed like she was hit by a bullet. "Is everything okay?" Cass asks inspecting the room. "Yeah why wouldn't it be we are gucci right jaz?" I say quickly. "Of course." She says unsure.
"Hey we got a few drinks and Sam brought a bottle of tequila for anyone who wants to try." Jake says walking in. "Oh okay well then people will start getting here soon. Let's get this place together." Eli says.
Cass went to the soccer field to turn on the lights and the lanterns at the pool. Jake and Sam got the drinks and music set up. Eli and Jaz got the food set up and I went to receive some people. Turns out Eli's cousins were in town . 3 guys named Pablo, Beto, and Lalo. There was another named Pollo and his sister Pita. A few more cousins arrived.... Then friends. "Hey guys come here." Eli calls "what's up?" I say walking up to her with everyone else. "This is like my sister her name is April. She is awesome and I'm sure you guys met everybody else." She says we all say hello and continue the party.
After a few hours. I got to talk to Pablo. He was a year older than me, went here and loved music and food so obviously we got along. We walked into the cabin and saw Jaz at the table with a few other people. I was guessing Eli, Jake, Cas and Sam were at the field. She was drinking.
"Hey D-Man. Woahhhh this tastes amazingggggg..." She says standing up but failing.... "This place is great, your great, we are all great." She giggled "where's Chris?" I ask. "He made some
Friends who happen to play baseball. Then here Pollo and I started playing a drinking game...." She explains.... "I love you D man. I always have" she says. I am so glad everyone here speaks mostly spanish.... God this girl is going to give me a head ache. I walk her to the room and she passes out. Tequila was too much for her. What will I do now? "Hey come on don't worry I want to show you something." Says Pablo. We walk and he takes me to s small worn out house. "This is were eli and I used to play house. We were always close me and her. I come here to think when I need too. And Eli taught me english here. I think you need some time to think." He says . "Thank you Pablo. Please don't mention what you say to Eli." I ask. "I have to fix this before this ruins the whole trip."
