As the blood dried on my lips, I gaze out on this unforgiving world.  I'll forever be a stranger here, forever an orphan.  Take away my family, but you'll never break me.

"Yo, Delilah," Adrian calls me outside my window.  Adrian was the closest thing I had left to family.  He was like a brother to me.  We had been best friends ever since elementary school.

"Delilah I know it's hard, but it's ok.  I'm here for you'" Adrian cooed at my side.

"Thanks for the pep talk, you always know how to make me feel better," I whispered through my tears.  I stand up and recall the accident that took everything from me.
