Delilah was dressed in a white wedding dress, she sat in the grass as Susannah was painting her, Delilah loved Susannah but she would rather be in bed crying

I mean, her boyfriend, did just cheat on her with her sister, driving her into a panic attack

"Everything ok, Lils?" Susannah asked noticing she wasnt acting like herself

"Yup, just tired" Delilah said not looking at her

"Just a little longer. Dont you just love that dress?"

"Mm"

"You excited for the volleyball tournament?"

"Might drop out" Delilah admitted, Susannah stopped painting and really looked at her, she could see tears pooling in eyes and despite the makeup Delilah was wearing her eyes were still red from crying all night

"Delilah" Susannah spoke softly, she placed her brush and paint down, getting up and sitting next to Delilah

"Im sorry i ruined your painting" Delilah whispered wiping the tear that fell

"No, you didnt ruin anything. What's wrong, Lils?"Susannah asked holding her face

"You're gonna be mad, i dont want you to be" Delilah said as more tears fell

"Lils, i would never be mad at you, or anything you gotta tell me. I want you to tell me so i can help you with whatever's wrong" she added grabbing Delila's hand

"Last night, um, Conrad and I saw Belly and Jeremiah in the pool.. and, uh, they kissed as far as i know, the whole thing sent me into a panic attack" Delilah admitted nervously playing with the bottom of the dress

Susannah felt her heart drop, she knew she might die soon and all she wanted to see was Delilah Conklin in a white dress and Jeremiah Fisher in a tux with each other, as selfish as that might sound

"Oh, Lils, im so sorry" Susannah let out a breath pulling her closer, "Have you talked to him about it?"

"No, i dont know what to say or how to even bring it up. It's nothing something i thought about even ever having to bring it up" Delilah said looking up as she began to fan her face

"Im gonna ruin my makeup" she laughed a little, Susannah joining

"You still look gorgeous, Lils, how about we finish this when you're up for it, ok? You still got that volleyball tournament to go to, and you're gonna find Jeremiah and talk to him also, or i will and it's not gonna be pretty" Susannah smiled moving the hair from Delilah'a face

"Ill go get ready for the tournament and if i happen to run into him ill talk to him, if not it can wait" Delilah laughed a little

The both of them stood up, "I love you, Lils, ok?" Susannah let out a breath and hugged her

"I love you more" Delilah smiled breaking the hug, "Im gonna go get ready"

The second Delilah went inside she heard the one and only Jeremiah Fisher yelling her name, she slipped off the heels she was wearing and quickly made her way upstairs

"Lilah-"

"Changing" she fake smiled shutting the door in his face


Delilah did her hair in two braids putting them into buns at the end, and then putting in two matching yellow bows in

She was dressed in her volleyball top, some black nike shorts and converse as she made her way downstairs

She walked into the kitchen only to find Belly making something "Hey, Belly" Conrad nodded coming into the kitchen, "DelDel" he smiled

"ConCon" she mimicked grabbing a water from the fridge

"Oh, hey"

"What's that?" he asked motioning to the powder she was putting in her drink

"My secret weapon"

"Hmm. Feeling good about the tournament?"

"Yeah, im ready. Plus, Delilah has been playing competitive volleyball since forever, so im confident we will win"

"If you stay ready, you wont have to get ready" Conrad blurted out as Delilah looked at him weirdly

"Well, im gonna go be anywhere else" Delilah said grabbing her water and heading outside towards the pool

And the second she spotted Jeremiah, she tried to turn around and leave but he stopped her

"Lilah, lilah, please talk to me" he spoke stepping in front of her as she sighed

"Jeremiah, i don't wanna talk" she said not looking at him

"No, no please. Dont call me that, please" he shook his head staring at her

"Jeremiah, you kissed my fucking sister! The girl i told you i always felt second to and boom now you're in the pool kissing her!" Delilah scoffed

"It was a mistake, Lilah, i promise. I didnt mean for that to happen, and i went to tell you but you were asleep, and Conrad told me to leave and talk to you in the morning if you would even talk to me. You've been avoidign me all dau"

"Oh, i cant imagine why" she said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes

He went to speak but was cut off by Laurel coming outside, "Hey my favorite couple, we're about to leave" she smiled

"Coming, mom" Delilah smiled happy to get away from him





Delilah sadly, regrettably, horribly stood between Belly and Jeremiah as Susannah was talking on the mic

"Hey, everybody. Im Susannah Fisher.. chair of the club's community service board, and i am delighted to welcome you to Play It Froward!" she smiled as everyone clapped and cheered

Delilah moved away from Jeremiah and Belly, Jeremiah following not wanting to leave her side, Delilah was kinda happy to see Belly and Conrad talking, she couldnt be mad at Jeremiah forever, but she was gonna try

"You know, as my mother used to say, if you're lucky enough to be at the beach, you're lucky enough. And we are very fortunate indeed... which is why, in the spirit of fun and friendly competition it is time to open our hears and out wallets and give back to those who may not be as fortunate. We have teams raising money for homelessness, women's shelters, environmental causes and many more. And Play It Froward will match pledges for the winner of the tournament! " she added as everyone clapped and cheered once more

"Pledge tables still open, so please donate generously. And with that, i say let the games begin!"
