Secrets & Lies (#Wattys2016)

Love bites

 "Damn it Delilah! I said answer me! Why do you have a hickey?" His hands were onn my shoulders holding me an arms length away while he was bending to see into my eyes. I rolled my eyes and slapped his hands off my shoulders and spoke without thinking.

"Why does it matter to you? It's not like I'm your girlfriend or anything like that!" I said while stepping away from him. He lifted up his hand and I flinched expecting to be hit. Nothing came. I slowly opened my eyes. He was staring at me in confusion and.... saddness?

"Delilah... I would never hit you.." He took a step closer, I took a step back. He took another step closer I took another back. We did this till I hit a counter and I was sandwiched between him and the counter. 

"Great job Delilah.. You got your self sandwiched..." I muttered to myself while looking down at my feet. I looked back up at Jason. He grabbed my chin in his hand so I couldn't look away.

"Delilah.. Please answer my question." He said. I tried to avert my eyes but his brown ones were trapping mine.

"Ummm.. Ja- J. Damn it why can't I answer this question!" I closed my eyes and drew in a deep breathe. I opened my eyes as I let go of my breathe and I looked him in the eye. I blurted out what had happened. 

".... And now we are in this position." I said taking in a deep breathe after I finished the story. He was angry but was trying to control his emotion when a knock on the door sounded. He kept eyes contact with me but stepped away. He turned his back on me and walked towards the door. 

"Hey man. Can I ta--" I heard Jake! I walked out of the kitchen into the hallway near the front door. Jake was on the ground holding his nose. And Jason was towering over him breathing hard and his fists were clenched. I gasped and Jason looked up at me. I looked away from his eyes and stumbled backwards. The memories returned to me. 

I stumbled away from my father, blood runnning down my head. I fell and lost my balance. He slowly started to walk towards me a evil smirk played on his lips. He kneeled down onto one knee and stared into my eyes.

I held my hand out and turned my face away. "No! St- Stay away from me! Please fa- father! I am sorry. I didn't mean to- to do anything wrong! I was ju- just so hun- hungry! I am sor- sorry!" I was crying. I brought my knees up to  my head and hid my head behind my knees with my arms cradling my knee's. I sob wracked my chest so hard it hurt. 

I looked back up and saw Jason kneeling in front of me. His eyes were wide with shock and he was searching my face. 

I was surprised when he pulled me into his arms. We stayed like that for a couple of mintues without speaking when Jake was pulled away from me y someone else. I looked up and saw Jake trying to pin down Jason. 

"No! Jake stop! Stop it! Your hurting him!" I screamed as Jake started to hit Jason iin teh face with his balled up fist.

"Jake stop it! Please you're hurting him! You are hurting me to! Jake please.... your scaring me..." I said. Jake immediately stopped hitting him. He looked down at Jason and closed his eyes. I looked down at Jason. He was currently unconcious. I looked back up at Jake. He was staring at Jason in horror. Jake stood up and immeditely started to yell.

"No! Why? Why did I do this to him! Why?" He turned towards me. His face was angry again. He started to walk towards me. I stood up and stepped away from him still keeping my eyes on him. He grabbed my shoulders and pushed me against the wall. I looked around for anything touse as my self defense. He grabbed my face in both his hands and started to yell at my face.

"You did this! This is your fault! You made me do this!" He said. I looked around for something again but found nothi---

Jason was walking towards us. I started to cry. I looked back at Jakes face. His face looked sad now.
