What Is True Love?

Chapter 6

Grace's POV

I was confused as to what Luke wanted to talk about so urgently. I haven't talked to him since... well a long time. I tried my best to ignore him at school because well, I'm popular, and he's a nobody. Yeah I know, I'm sounding like a complete bitch, but he's not popular, and I'm not willing to risk my popularity by being seen with him.
The only reason I told him I'd talk to him later is because I may be popular, but I still have a heart. He was always a nice kid from what I remembered of him.
After practice, I got a ride from one of the girls from cheer since Delilah decided she'd leave without me. The moment I got home, my phone began to ring. I answered without checking who it was.
"Hello?" There was a small pause before the person began to speak.
"Hey Grace? Its Luke. You think we could meet up?"
"Um... sure. Where do you want to meet up?"
"Well, how about the ice cream parlor near the school?" I checked the time before answering.
"Yeah that's fine. Ill be there in 30 minutes."
"Okay see ya." I hung up and went up to my room to change. Then I grabbed my keys and got into my black Ford Focus. I barely even drive my car. I mostly get rides from my sister or one of my friends. It felt almost unnatural.
When I got to the ice cream parlor, Luke was there waiting for me outside by the doors. I went up to him and we both went inside. We ordered some ice cream and I broke the silence once we sat down at a booth.
"So, what do you wanna talk about?"

Luke's POV

I was slightly nervous, but I put the nerves aside so that I could focus on what I wanted to ask her. I needed answers and I needed them quick.
"So, what do you wanna talk about?" She looked me straight in the eyes with a serious expression.
"Well, I had some questions I wanted to ask you about Delilah." She tensed in her seat and looked down. I ignored it and continued on with what I was saying.
"Delilah and I had lunch together today. I was excited since we hadn't spoke to each other in years, but when I mentioned how we used to be friends, she said she didn't know who I was and she didn't have any childhood memories at all. She mentioned something about her bumping her head and your grandma told her she lost her memory from it. But then she said your mom died when giving birth to you, and that can't be right because I recall-"
"She did die giving birth to me. My mother died giving birth to me. Delilah fell and bumped her head really hard causing her to lose her memory and forget who you were, and who everyone else is and that's it. That's all that happened." She gave me a long hard stare. I was utterly confused. Her mother didn't die giving birth to her. Why is she lying to me?
"Grace, we both know your mother didn't die that way-"
"Obviously she did. She's dead isn't she? And I know how she died. That's what happened and no more questions because now you know what you needed to know. I'm warning you now to stay away from Delilah and not to talk to her. If I hear of you guys being seen together, you will see my bad side Luke. Don't test me." With that said, she stood up and left.
I sat there confused and lost. I didn't understand anything anymore. I know for a fact her mom didn't die that way. I also knew that a bump in the head wasn't enough for a persons memory to disappear. There was something that she wasn't telling me, and I was going to find out. One way or another.

Delilah's POV

I sat at home on my bed staring up at the ceiling. I was way to exhausted to wait for my sister to get out of practice so I just went straight home. She could find someone else to give her a ride. Maybe she should start driving her own car to school so I wouldn't have to wait for her. I'm gonna have to make a mental note so I can let her know later.
I got up and put my iPod on shuffle. 'Are you listening' by Tonight Alive started blaring from the speakers and I started singing along.
As I was jamming out, I received a phone call. I picked up my phone to check the caller ID only to immediately put my phone down. I refuse to take to him. He might want to believe that a couple apologies can make me forgive him but he's completely wrong.
A couple minutes later, I received a text from him.
Drew; Hey Delilah. Can I come over so we can talk?
Delilah; Sorry I'm kind of busy.
Drew; Oh... okay. See ya at school then.
He has to be a complete idiot to think I'd want him at my house.
I went down stairs to fetch something to eat when I heard the door open.
"Hey Grace. Why are you home so late?" She took a seat at the island in the middle of the kitchen and grabbed an apple.
"I had to take care of some issues before I got home." With that said, she went upstairs to her room.
I made myself a strawberry shake and went upstairs. I decided I wanted to sing some more so I played My Chemical Romance's Welcome to the Black Parade.
When I became to tired to stay up, I went to sleep.
That night, I had a dream.
I was 9 years old again, and I was playing hide and seek with someone. I stood behind a bush waiting to be found.
All of a sudden, a young boy pops out from behind me. I scream, and begin to cry from how frightened I was.
"Delilah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you like that. Please don't cry."
He pulled me into his arms and hugged me. I felt safe in his arms. He rocked me back and forth till I stopped crying. When I finished, I pulled back. I smiled at him, and he smiled back at me.
"Are you okay?" I nodded my head and stood up just as he did.
"Good because its my turn to hide since I found you!"
He began to run away and I ran after him laughing and giggling. We did this for a while till we ran out of energy. When we were done, we lied of the grass and looked up at the sky.
I turned to look at him to find him looking back. Only now, he was older. I recognized him immediately. It was...
I woke up just as my alarm went off. I looked around my room. It was dark. I tried to recall the dream I had last night, only for my mind to go blank. I couldn't remember. Oh well. I guess Its time to get ready for school.
