Happy Ending?

Chapter 3

POV: Delilah

Me and William waited by the car as the moonlight reflected on us more people started to descend. Soon the idiots came after saying goodbye to their cheerleader teammates.

"You guys came," Anne squealed with a smile as she gave me and William a hug. I don't like physical contact so mine was short which I don't understand because physical touch is my love language but still somehow not.

"Of course we came we always come Here we got you slushies," William had the same smile as he gave the pink slushy to Anne and kept the almost empty orange slushy for himself.

Me and Sophie just looked at each other. It's just hard for me to come back from what she was going to do to me.

I actually had some nightmares about it. I of course got Sophie a slushy too it's her favourite ,the blue one.

It's our ritual every time they cheer. Both of them are co-captains of the cheer squad.
I was going to give it to her and not make a scene but all I could muster was to look at her with a betrayal-looking face.

"Are you seriously still mad at me?" Sophie asked with her black hair in a ponytail and raised eyebrows.

"Mad at you why would I be mad at you? for almost running my life? Of course not". I scoffed.

"Wait is this about what happened at lunch yesterday?"Anne asked as she and William drank their slushy but William's slushy was empty he was just trying to hide his smile which I do not understand because nothing about this situation is funny.

"Yes," I said at the same time Sophie said with a raised voice "nothing literally happened".

"You know Sophie I hope you slept well last night knowing that I didn't".

"Are you fucking with me?"Sophie yelled.

William fell on the ground laughing his ass off

"Why the hell are you laughing this is not a laughing matter Anne you too" It was my turn to yell because Anne was chuckling. what is wrong with these people?

"Sorry sorry, you're right this is nothing to laugh about so stop it, William" Anne said while kicking Will who was still laughing.

"Okay, William is having a bit of trouble so how about you apologize soph and we can drive to your place?" Anne was trying to hide a smile.

"I'm not going to fucking apologize," Sophie gasped in disbelief.

"Do you want this slushy or do you want me to drink it?" I waved it in her face.

"FINE fine, I'm sorry for ALMOST taking one of your fries".

"That doesn't sound like a real apology," I muttered with a frown.

"Are you serious?" Sophie hissed while holding the bridge of her nose to calm down she also said mutterings in Chinese I didn't understand but I'm going to assume it means you are the victim Delilah and I'm the monster.

"Okay Del I am sorry for thinking about taking one of your French fries it will never happen again," Sophie spoke in a low voice.

"Well Sophie it's going to take some time to fully forgive you but we're on our way," I informed with seriousness.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU,"Sophie yelled running towards me but I ran behind Anne to seek some sort of protection.

"Okay, that's enough Delilah give Sophie her drink, and Sophie don't kill Delilah" Anne saved me.

"Thank you" I muttered still hiding behind Anne.

"You can kill her tomorrow".

"What"

"Give me my slushy"

"Fine here," I was going to hand it to Sophie but she particularly ripped it off my hand.

"Well, can I just say that I'm proud of you for taking responsibility and apologize-"

"Do not say another word Del,"Sophie stated as she got into the driving seat. Anne went to the passenger seat while failing to hide her chuckles.
Are you done laughing?" I asked looking down at Will

"Yeah yeah, I'm done," He said a bit out of breath while holding his hand up. I took the hint and grabbed his hand Yanking him up.
He put his arm over my shoulders as we wordlessly walked to the red Tesla and sat in the back.

"How come the black ones are sitting in the backseat?" Will asked putting on his seatbelt.

"Yeah, Rosa Parks fought for us to not sit in the back," I commented following Will and put on my seatbelt. While Anne just chuckled Sophie responded with "Because we don't want the cops to pull us over".

All three of us gasped. Sophie drove out of the school parking lot with a smile.

"Well, we don't want to get in a car crash either," William retorted quickly.

Now all of us were laughing.

"Really? A Chinese joke you have to do better," Sophie said still laughing.

As I was about to say something Anne beat me to it.

"As much as this is fun and you guys do this every time we get in the car. How about we don't start a race war?" Anne asked as she was about to put on a playlist we all helped in creating.

"Wow, that's the first I have ever heard a white person say how about we don't start a race war" Will rolled his eyes.

Me and Sophie's laughter grew.

"Dang Will you're on fire today,"I praised him just as the song Good Lookin by Dixon Dallas got on.

Then we all forgot what we were talking about and yelled the words out as we drove to Sophie's house to eat some food and get ready to go to a party.

I don't enjoy hanging out with people unless I'm comfortable with them. And I am comfortable with these three people, I see them as sisters and brother. And I wouldn't hesitate to kill for them. Just like I wouldn't for Athena. I do have blood siblings. Bella is 7 years old and Zion is 9. I'm a decade older than Bella. We came to the Jacksonville family a little over three years ago.
They adopted Bella and Zion only after six months of living there.

They of course asked me if they could adopt my siblings and me because for the longest time it was just me and my siblings.

I said yes to them adopting my sister and brother. Even though they saw Wilma and Andre as their mother and father they wouldn't accept without me saying it's okay because they would never want me to feel uncomfortable in another foster home just like I wouldn't want them to.

Although I said no to the adoption.

It's not like I didn't like my foster parents I'm also too loyal for my own good and it felt like I would betray my own mother if I let them adopt me and to be honest I don't see them as parental figures to myself.

So I kept my name Delilah-Elli-Monroe.

But my siblings took the Jacksonville name.  Which I'm happy about.

They have already been through too much shit but they have found their forever family and their Happy Ending.

I couldn't have been more prouder.
