The Best friend

Breathe.

I don't know if what Delilah is going to say about God may or may not offend you guys, therefore I am apologizing now.

Delilah's Pov

After taking Alex to meet my mom it was a pretty uneventful day, no Katie harassment, no Tomas stare downs. Only really smooth sailing, I was texting Ty all day and honestly he was such a dork. But now instead of going  home I was going g to meet him as some diner so that we could "discuss the Social Studies Fair project", sure.

On the way out of the school building , I was texting Ty to get the directions when someone tripped me. Someone fucking tripped me, like stuck their foot out and tripped me, on purpose. When I got up, I had to remember to stay calm, just stay calm. I had to keep my eyes from turning red. Just get up and walk off. I thought try to slow down my breathing.

"I told you she wouldn't doing anything." I heard Tomas say after I walked off.

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

And then I heard laughing. Its getting really hard for me to breathe at this point. I was fuming. If this were a cartoon, right now, there would be steam blowing out of my ears. My skin started feel like it was boiling and tingling.

The laughs kept ringing in my head and  I couldn't calm myself down. I was never good at keeping myself calm, after years of getting bullied and having to deal with depression, breakdowns and outbursts were common, that's why I needed Jess, she kept me level headed. But now she wasn't here and the anger was taking over.

I was just standing at my car with my head leaning over my arms trying to steady my breathing. I couldn't. I was going to do damage now, someone was going to pay. With out a second thought, I snapped up and made my way over to the crowd that was gathered by Tomas' car.

Just as I was about to cross the parking lot, someone stopped in front of me.

"Where are you going?"

"Ty, please move." I said through clenched teeth.

"Delilah, look at me." He said.

I kept my eyes trained on Tomas, until Ty grabbed my face so that I could look at him. When my eyes landed on his I saw his face change from soft to somewhat scared.

"Why are your eyes red?" He asked.

"I'm mad and all I wanna do is hit something or someone. Preferably Tomas." I said.

"Hey. Calm down. Whatever he did you gotta let it go." He said rubbing his thumbs up and down my cheeks.

I felt myself calming down when Ty was rubbing my face, again I closed my eyes and I breathed.

Breathe. Breathe. Breathe.

During the deep breaths Ty kept rubbing my face. After a few seconds I was back calm and when I opened my eyes Ty was staring at me with a concerned face, still holding mine.

"Alright, this is starting to get weird." I teased.

"Oh yeah, sorry." Ty said snatching his hands away from my face and stuffing them in his pocket.

"You ready to go?" I asked.

"Uh, yeah. I'll go get my bike and you can follow me." He replied, pointing behind him to his blue motorcycle.
