Secrets & Lies (#Wattys2016)

He's Back!

"Jason?" I asked again in shock. He was staring at me wide eyed. Finally he answers;

"Delilah? Is that really you?" He asks whie taking a ste closer, then a girl I hadn't noticed pulls his arm back toards her taking him with her.

"Hun, come on. Let's get something to eat." She looked me down head to toe. 

"Somewhere other than here." She turned around  and headed towards the door. He followed her. My mouth opened in shock. I rolled my eyes and turned around towards the kitchen.

"Wow." I mutter under my breathe. I start to walk forward when I feel a hand grab my arm. I look down at my arm where a hand clutches my arm. I follow up the hand up to a arm and then to a face that I haven't seen for six months... Till now. 

I roll my eyes and shake my head. I looked down at the hand on my arm and tried to pull my arm from his grasp but he wouldn't let me go. I pulled my arm even harder. He still wouldn't let go.

I sighed and looked down at the ground. 

"Leave me alone!" I said as I yanked on my arm even harder. My arm slipped out of his hand and before I knew it I had lost my footing and was falling down to the ground. A huge thud ripped through the silent air. I looked around to see I had fallen on my butt. I was in a sitting position but my legs were spread apart and my left ankle was shooting pain. 

I looked up at Jason who was staring down at me in shock.

"Delilah I am so sorry!" He replied after a while of just staring at me in shock. His face flooded with emotion, but one was clearly visible. Shame. 

He took a step closer. I leaned back and put my arms out in front of me while I looked to my side.

"N-No! Leave me alone!" I yelled. 

'Dang it! I stuttered'

I slowly placed my hands down. Drake jogged up to the scene. He looked down at me then up at Jason. Drakes face turned to fury.

"Sir. Leave her alone. If she asks you to then do so." HE said as he crouched down next to me and put his hands under my arms and lifted me off the ground. I put my arm around his waist to lean on him. I looked over at Jason. His face showed jealousy and rage. I narrowed my eyes at him and he narrowed his back at me. I shook my head and turned around wobbling. I almost fell when Drake put his arm on my waist to balance me. We started to head towards the kitchen when Jason said;

"So what? Are you two dating? Or...." He trailed off for us to answer.

Red crossed my vision. I pushed Drake away and swiftly turned around. I didn't care for the pain that came along. I started to stomp over to Jason. I reached him and pointed my index finger to his chest. I looked down at his chest and started to yell;

"How dare you! No! We are not dating! He is my best friend! Don't you ever! Ever! Assume that kind of stuff! Ever! I swe--" I stopped when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me against him. I gasped and started to look up. His chest to his neck to his smirk he now had on his face to his eyes shining with amusement. 

We stayed like that for a couple minutes, feeling electricity zinging between us. His smirk had dissappeared and was seriuos now. He leaned closer towards me. He slowly pressed his lips to mine. I started to melt into the kiss when I remembered to other girl he was here with. 

I pushed away from him and turned towards Drake.

"Leave with your girlfriend. And please don't come back. I couldn't deal with it." I admitted while slowly limping towards the staff's lounge. I heard someone take a step towards my direction.

"But... Delilah? Why? Why did you leave me?"I stopped walking. I heard him trying to walk closer towards me but he was grunting. I looked over my shoulder. Jason was being dragged out by two of the diner employee's. Drake walked over to me. He put his arm around my shoulders and slightly pushed me forward. 

"Because of Jake." Was my only answer before I walked back into the lounge. As I walked back I heard Jason yelling my name after me. I felt tears build up in my eyes. I sniffled and walked on. Once in the lounge Drake guided me over to a couch.  I sat down and buried my face into my hands. I started to cry but also tried to hold back teh tears and barely could till Drake pulled me into his chest. I cried even harder.

---------------------------------

Three hours later

---------------------------------

I walked out of the diner sadder than ever. I slowly began walking down the street towards Avangeline's and my apartment.  I looked down at my feet and started to kick small rocks in front of me. I turned the corner tht led to the apartment. I looked back up and realized I was by the lobbies entrance doors. I slowly put my hand on the handles door and pulled open. I walked into the lobby and up the stairs to our apartment number on the third floor. I walked up the stairs dragging my feet behind me. 

I walked in front of the apartment door and put my key into the lock, twisted teh key and pushed on the door. The door opened and I walked in. I turned around and closed the door. I walked over to the couch and fell on the couch and passed out.

------------------------------------

"May I ask who you are?" I heard Avangelines distant voice through my sleep hazed mind. My eyes started to flutter open. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I looked around and realized I was in my room. I felt my eyebrows close together in confusion. 

'Hmm. Wait Avangeline probably put me to bed.'

I slowly got up and walked into the hallway. I walked towards the kitchen and opened teh fridge open. I pulled out the orange juice and took the lid off. I put the top to my lips and tilted teh orange juice carton back and started to drink the orange juice. I tilted the carton back down and placed it on the counter. I walked over to the cup cubbered and pulled a coffee cup out. I poured some orange juice into the cup. I placed the carton back on the counter. I reached over for the cup and started to drink it when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. I stopped drinking my orange juice. I turned my head over my shoulder. Orange juice still in my mouth. When I saw who it was I spit the orange juice all over him.

"Jake?! What are you doind here?!"
