prologue THE CHILDHOOD AND DOWNFALL OF DELILAH LEE
ღ
There sat a six year old girl, playing on the swings with a content look on her face. She loved the swings, it made her feel free. "Hey! Can I go on the swing?" a boy of nearly seven years old stood awkwardly in front of the girl.
"Sure! You can go on the one next to me." the boy gave a subtle smile and sat on the swing next to her. The atmosphere was awkward until the young girl said, "Hi. I'm Delilah, what's your name?"
The child gives the girl a large grin and says, "I'm Scott. Hello!"
Eventually the two children start talking about anything and everything. Family, siblings, friends. "I have another friend, his name is Stiles, he's very funny. I think he's my best friend."
"Wow, he seems so cool. You're my first friend. But i don't think I have a best friend." the girl bites the inside of her cheek as she looks down at the bark situated underneath the set of swings.
"Why not?" the boy asks confused. "I don't like talking to people at my school, I usually spend recess by myself." Delilah starts picking at her nails, worried.
"Oh. Well if you want you can be my best friend." Scott sweetly asks. Lilah's head shoots up to meet with Scott's eyes. "Really?" he nods yes, "Wow. Thank you, but what about your friend Stiles?"
"Well, you can meet him if you want. And then we can all be friends!" Scott claps his hands together, excited he found a new friend. "Yay!"
"Scott! We've gotta go baby." Scott's mother calls as she walks up to the two children. "And who's this little lady?"
"This is Delilah. She's my new best friend!" Scott's smile spreads across his face while he tells his mom about his new friend.
"Hello Miss Scott's mom. Nice to meet you!" Delilah speaks ecstatically.
"Honey, we've got to leave the park now. Are you ready?" Delilah's mom exclaimed, walking up to her child and two strangers. "Hiya, I'm Anastasia Lee"
"Oh hi, yes I'm Melissa McCall. It seems like our children have become friends." the two mothers watch as their children are talking to each other, trying to make up a signature handshake.
"Look mommy, this is Scott, he's my best friend now!" Anastasia had a small smile on her lips as she says "That's amazing baby, but sadly we have to go because daddy is back from his work trip and he wants to see his special baby girl."
