I reach the bottom of the stairs
Hand in hand with Mayve
I see my mother talking to a man
That must be my father
"Take them... I don't care where, just take them away, i don't want them anymore..." my mother said this didn't come to a surprise to me, because i've already hear this. I look down at Mayve tears running down her face. I pull her into a hug
~~~Mayve's POV~~~
"I don't want them anymore.." my mother said
What? How could she say that. I love her. She's my own mother. I didn't realize i was crying until my sister Delilah's thumb ran across my cheeck. She pulled me into a hug. I loved her hugs. They were so warm and i always felt so safe in them.
"It's going to be okay.. Everything is going to be okay... We don't need her. You have me and I have you. I will always love you." she whispered to me
I didn't say anything, i just sobbed in her shoulder
~~~~Delilah's POV~~~~
"Hey! Get your asses over here!" My mother yelled. I made sure to cover Mayve's ears when she swore.
"Coming!" i yelled back
I released Mayve from the hug
Hey eyes were red and puffy again
"Come on... it's time to start over.." i say to her
A huge smile grows across her face
I hold her hand. Both of us dragging our suitcases behind us.
I turn the corner and see the man, that is apparently our father
"Hello.." he says quite politely
"Hi!" Mayve says sounding excited
"Hello.." i say making sure to be polite but not to straight forward
I don't want to put to much trust in him... Just incase
"Let me take those for you girls..." he says pointing to our bags
"uhh.... okay... thank you..." i say. Did he really just say that... He's so nice compared to Jeff
I hand him Mayve's bad but i take my own. Don't want him to do all of the work
I carry my suitcase to the car and place it in the trunk.
"Thanks, for helping me... By the way my name is Steven... your father i guess...." i laughed... he was funny...
"Oh yah... I remember... um.... i'm...." he cut me off
"Delilah i remember your name..." he said looking at the groud.
It was kinda awkward, but why wouldn't it be. I haven't seen him since i was 5 and he still remember's my name.
"Well ill go get....."he cut me off again
"Mayve??? right???" he asked me
I nodded my head
"okay, ill be in the car come when your ready..." he said unlocking his car door and getting in
I made my way up to the front door. This is the last time ill be tortured in this house.
I grabbed Mayve's hand and lead her to the car...
"Did you say by to mom?" i asked her
"No..." she said
"Do you want to?"
"No..." she said again
"Let's go... i want to leave this place..." she said looking at Steven
"Okay.. delilah make sure your seatbelt is on..." Woah! No one has ever looked after me like that before
"Yah... ok... let's leave please.." i said
I looked out the window to see my mother
Another bottle of Vodka in her hand
She was giving her the finger
"Cover your eyes Mayve..." i told her
"Their already covered..." she said i looked at her
She was right
She was sitting there, with her eyes closed tightly
I let out a shaky breath, i was thinking about Trevor
I never said goodbye
I pulled out my phone and sent him a text message
~ Hi Trevor, I hate that i'm doing this by text but.... I'm leaving... Leaving this town, this country hopefully... I am finally escaping... I will probably never see you again. I just want to say that you were such a great friend to me, even though i've only known you for a day. I'll miss you Trevor....
Bye xoxo,
Delilah ~
I grabbed my headphones and plugged them into my iPod shuffle... I didn't have the greatest stuff. I had an old flip phone and an old iPod shuffle. Mayve only had an iPod shuffle. I truned on my favourite playlist and clicked shuffle.
Let her go by Passenger came on
This song was my favourite at the time
It just spoke to me
I started humming to the tune
"And you let her go..." i sang
I felt someone taping my shoulder
I pulled out my left earbud and looked over to see Steven poking my shoulder
"You have a great voice..."He said to me
"Really, my mom always told me i suck"
"Forget about her.." he said still sounding calm
"Why are you being so nice to me"
"I'm not your mother or Jeff" he said. I could hear the disgust in his voice
I put my earbud back in my ear and listened to the rest of the song
I soon fell into a deep sleep
I couldn't believe i was finally getting away form all of that
All or that torture
I was never going to be touched
I flinched as the seatbelt rubbed against my burn
I released all my tears and they were now flowing down my checks freely
I was now dreaming, something i haven't done in a while
