Chapter 17

The wind swiped across my face sending my hair flying into the same direction to blind me from this gut wrenching fate.

"Come on Delilah it's only a rope climbing course, where you are hanging 12 meters off the ground." I heard Toby snicker at my terrified expression making me wonder why I agreed to go rope climbing with him. When my stomach had settled down and only made me slightly queasy I turned my violet eyes on Toby shaking my head at the idea. Now if you are wondering how we got here well here is the thing let’s just go back to yesterday after coming home from the park.

                                                  ~~~~~~~~Yesterday at home~~~~~~~~~~

“Deelllllll” Toby sat there on the couch uttering my name for the past few hours after what he did which I was still mad at him for.

“I’m sorry I got you and Jace all wet.” He snickered at his sentence before I continued flipping through the channels looking for something to watch, but nothing good was on. Getting out my phone I started reading on wattpad until Toby started saying my name again which will soon bring on a headache from his annoyance. Looking over at him I glared at him before returning to my book Shining Sky focusing on the story.

“I wouldn’t be made at you if you hadn’t ruined the nice little cloud spotting time with Jace, but oh no you had to grab a bunch of water and pour it on us.” I muttered angrily at him still pissed that he made me all wet. Wait that sounds wrong.

“Well I couldn’t help it you guys looked so peaceful and it was the perfect time to get you all wet.” He snickered again at what he did which only earned him another glare from me. Finishing the book on Wattpad hoping for another update I put the phone back in my pocket. Lying on the couch we sat there in silence until I saw Toby Jump up and down on the couch looking at something.

“What is it dipshit?” I questioned him as I sat there waiting before I got up to look for something to do leaving him to be happy in that room by himself. Not bothering to even wait for his answer I continued looking for something to do and decided on grabbing a ukulele and started randomly playing it. Walking back into the lounge I noticed that Toby was gone and just relaxed at not having to look very pissed any more at him. Once I had fully relaxed on the couch I started playing ‘wipe out’ on the ukulele just as Toby came bounding in. Turning back to pissed off mode I watched him come closer with a smile on his face looking down at his phone.

“Hey Del, what can I do to make you happy?” He asked making me start to think about what he could do to stop me being mad at him.

“Well you could go out in public running half naked like a crazy person and steal some food for me.” Giggling at my thought I watched as Toby just laughed at the idea before the smile on his face widened.

“How about I take you out somewhere?” Thinking it over I wondered where we would go and what would happen, maybe I could get some smarties out of him.

“I don’t know would there be smarties involved as well as good food and fun?” questioning him about what we would do I hoped that there was chocolate involved cause I really craved some. Toby just walked over to me before he shoved his phone in my face to show me a rope climbing course that looked fun.

“Hmm, is there food after this?” Raising my eyebrow at him he just nodded his head which only brought me to say yes to the stupid idea. I stopped being mad at him and was a bit scared about going, but hey he said he would pay and who wouldn’t turn down the offer. What a stupid idea I had to agree to. Now back to the stupid present on which I am at this dumb course.

“Come on Del get your but moving already, I want to finish the course before sun down even if you did skip school for this.” I glared at Toby before I took my first steps on the old rickety course and held tightly onto the ropes feeling them dig into my palms. Slowly making my way across the course I could feel sweat starting to gather on my forehead at my thoughts whirling about what could happen. Once I had finally made it to the other side of the first bit I continue to go on feeling my hands shaking from holding on to tight.
