Delilah

chapter 10

I am going to talk to him... them... about everything, but how? What words should i use? How should i say it?

I'm sure they will understand in whatever way i say it... but what if it hurts them?
Do i really want this life?

As i shower, i overthink every little thing that could happen. What if he gets mad? Maybe i just need to stop thinking and go with it, I'm sure gio won't absolutely hate me for it.... as i get out of the shower, i see the mirror coated in steam from the hot water... i look into it and sigh. What if it does go wrong?

Will he kick me out? He could kill me if he wanted to...

Maybe I'm thinking too much into it... i leave the restroom and get dressed in black pants and a corset top... slowly making my way down the stairs i finally lay my eyes on him... i feel like i haven't seen him in weeks...
I run up to him and hug him, jumping up into his arms... i look in his eyes and say with a shakey voice, "Can we talk?" He nods and takes me to our room, still carrying me in his arms...

As we make our way upstairs, he sets me down on the bed in our room, and he sits next to me,

I sigh and look down at the ground... *i have questions, and there are a lot...*

He sighs as well and thinks about what he's going to respond with... *i know Cherry, I'm sorry i hid this big of a secret from you, but please understand, I only did it to keep you safe...* 

My mind floods with thoughts, safe from what? how was that keeping me safe? i sigh aloud and ask "Safe from what?"  he looks down and sighs but it's deep... he never sighs deep. so as he lets out the air his eyes soften, "Cherry... someone wants to kill you..."  for the one time in my life I am speechless I look down at the floor with my head spinning, my hands are shaking and I feel a panic coming on... 

he goes quiet before talking again, " Raven works for me... she has for a  while, I'm the reason she went to the party at the club that night, I didn't know that the night would end how it did... but I recently found out that the men that were there wanted to take you" 

i go silent... no words no sounds, just the rushing of my thoughts in my head "Me? is he sure" 

I walk out not speaking a word and go to my library...He just sits on the bed and lets me leave, whoever said "the truth hurts" couldn't be more right. i make it into my library and sit on my chair and i slowly start to cry... everything he said is repeating in my head me? why me...

what did I do?
