Delilah's P.O.V

I'm actually not as nervous as I probably should be. I mean my mom is strict but she won't beat me up, she would just give me dirty looks and the silent treatment. Either way I'm gonna be locked in my room for the rest of my life so it doesn't really matter all that much.

As I come closer to the house I see that the lights aren't on and the car isn't here anymore. The car is such a pile of trash I'm surprised she still uses it. I finally reach the door and wiggle the handle but it doesn't budge. Just what I expected. We live in the middle of nowhere so we don't usually lock our windows we just lock our doors. I walk around to the kitchen window and it was cracked open. Good thing I don't have too many bags. I didn't want to wait outside for god knows how long, and I have no clue where my mom possibly has gone.

I climb in the window and accidentally knock over a glass. I watched it spin in circles on the counter, it felt like slow motion. It didn't fall or shatter. Phew. I reached for my bag and pulled it up and over. I'm so glad Harry bout me this bag it makes it much easier to carry around the clothes that I bought in the store. I jumped off the counter and closed the window.

I don't really know what to do now so I'm just gonna go and shower. I walk in my room and it's just how I left it. I grab a towel and walked to my bathroom. I turned on the hot water and sat there for a good 20 minutes. The whole time I couldn't help but to think when I will meet the boys again.

I stopped the shower when I heard a noise coming from downstairs. I'm assuming it's my mom but you never know. I grabbed my towel and dried off super fast and put clothes on. I grabbed a towel to dry my hair on the way. I sneaked downstairs and saw the kitchen light on and I heard talking. Nobody usually comes here so I'm really confused. I peaked through the door and saw my mom talking to a lady while drinking tea.

"Oh Delilah! There you are. I was waiting for you to get out of the shower to call you down and say hi." I was really confused because she is not even acting like I was gone this whole time. She is acting like we were just talking a minute ago. I decided to play along.

"Yes sorry. I had a headache so I decided to cool off." I said a little quietly. I walked over the the table to get a good look at the guest. She was pretty good looking. I can tell she is a mom though because she looked a little tired and exhausted.
I realized I was staring for a little too long so I blinked a few times and cleared my throat.

"Hey I'm Delilah." I said while awkwardly sticking my hand out. She looked at my hand and laughed but took it anyways.

"Haha. Yah I know who you are sweetheart. You've grown so much since the last time I've seen you!" She said with a perfect white smile. I just smiled and took a seat right next to her and put my hands in my lap fiddling with my thumbs. How does she know me. I have never seen her in my life.

"Oh! I am so sorry! I didn't even introduce myself you probably don't remember me. My name is Anne. Anne styles." Hmm that name sounds so familiar. I mean the last name does but I can't put a finger on who's last name is styles. Wait! Harry! Harry's last name is styles! That can't be though. I don't think their related it's just a weird coincidence. Sighing I stand up and start to leave.

"Delilah where are you going? You don't want to say bye first?" My mom said I turned around and sighed again.

"Sorry mom, I'm just really exhausted. By Mrs.Styles" I said before turning around. Before I walked away I can still hear them talking.

"Does she really not remember me? I used to come over all the time with Gemma and Harry. She was never really interested though." She said. I stood there wide eyed. So she is related to Harry! That explains a lot but I never remember her coming over. Too exhausted to think I walked back to my room.

As I get in my bed I feel something vibrate. I look around for it and I see a light coming out of my bag. I walk to my bag and pull out my phone.

Form Liam: I'm sorry for kicking you out so quickly. I hope you didn't get into huge trouble with your mom. X

I smiled at the text but forgot how to answer it. It took me a while but I figured out I have to swipe the bottom and click messages.

To Liam: sory it took me a whil to text i had to figure it out and Its k

I sent the message but my spelling was so off.

From Liam: it's ok. I like your spelling btw

I laughed and shook my head. He noticed too

To Liam: be quiet Im stil trying to figure this texting thing out what does btw mean oh and how do you put a period or other things

I bet he thinks I'm stupid right now

From Liam: btw mean "by the way" and to put periods and other things click the little "123" at the bottom left corner.

I checked the bottom left corner and sure enough there was a "123" with periods and other things.

To Liam: alright thank you.

Before I can type something else he types again.

From Liam: no problem! I'm getting tired and I still have chores to do so I'm gonna go! Text you tomorrow Delilah. :)

I like the little smiley face he put at the end.

To Liam: alright bye! Text you tomorrow:)

After a while I found the off button to my phone and plugged it in the charger. After that I feel right asleep.
