Hey there Delilah

Yes you do

Monday November 2nd 7:20am
It's only now sitting alone in my bedroom that I wonder properly about what happened to delilah. I'm trying to write an essay about hitler and yet all I can think about is delilah. My mind races with her: her lying on the side of the road, her crying out my name, her whining on a hospital bed and her shaking over a fake shark it's all flashing in my head and I can feel hitler and the Munich putsch drifting further away.

I have so many questions about Delilah and what happened that night. Why was Delilah walking home alone in the dark? Where was her loving boyfriend to walk her home? It all confused me it confused me a lot.

"Charlotte!" My eyes shot up to Morgan's face as he looked worried at me "sorry?" I asked and while Sofia sighed he said "what are you thinking about?" "Nothing" he tilted his head to the side but didn't push it any further. "Alright let's go to our next lessons" everyone started walking but I walked up to Morgan and spoke quietly to him "hey when you arrived at the party the other night" he nodded "was George there?" I asked he shook his head "no we didn't see him the whole night Harry was disappointed" I hummed absent minded and thought about all the scenarios this opened up.

Morgan and Sofia arrived to the party late and Harry even later so them not seeing George doesn't mean he wasn't there it just means he wasn't there after Delilah left. At lunchtime I take my food from the canteen and I don't go straight to my friends as usual instead I shove my wrap away and stroll up to a group of friends sitting nearby. I try to make it look relaxed as I stop by them and wait for the girl on the end to turn to face me "hey gabby" I say recognising her from my English class "were you at the party at Amelia campbells house the other night?" I ask and she shakes her head in reply "no I wasn't but Felix was" she gestures at a boy with blonde hair and glasses i've never met him before but I recognise him from passing him in corridors "Felix when you were there did you happen to see George finch?" Felix was eating pizza but his hand froze on the way to his mouth as I asked the question he hesitated a second before shaking his head but I narrow my eyes at him knowing it's not the whole truth.

"Felix" I call jogging up behind him as he leaves school "I know you didn't tell me the truth earlier" his eyes widen "did you see George" he shook his head and stepped backwards "tell me" I said staring straight into his eyes " fine" he stepped forwards with aggression and I went to go backwards "he was there and I know he was there the whole night but I'm not telling you any more now leave me alone." My eyes widened with surprise but I nodded scared of his tall form looming over me "good" he turned on his heel and left. Well George was there but the interaction I just had only caused more questions to arise in my head about Felix and George and everything else.

I need to do more digging.
