      What do I do now? I'm not even allowed to see her and she took my phone so I can't tell her. She doesn't know what's going on. Maybe I can use the house phone in the living room. Delilah sneaks downstairs not making a single  sound. As she finally gets to the bottom of the stairs she stops to make sure nobody is down here. She sees nobody and walks to the phone. She dials Brenn's cell number. No answer so she leaves a message. Meanwhile at Brenn's house she is crying so hard that her pillow is actually dripping wet, but she has to be quiet so her parents don't hear. She doesn't want them to know why she is crying.

Brenn goes down to get some water so she doesn't get dehydrated from crying when she notices  her phone says she has a voicemail. She opens it.

     "Hey B its me Delilah, I just wanted you to know what's going on. My mom says I can't see you anymore. I'm trying to figure this out I just need some time to convince my mother that I'm straight so she won't be suspicious. Please know that I love you I really do and we will be together again, but our love has to wait until we will both be safe. Until then my mother is making me stay here with no phone. I need you to know I love you and I know it's not the best situation to say I love you for the first time, but I mean it and felt you should know. When you feel like you are forgetting just how much I love you I want you to listen to "I don't wanna miss a thing" by Aerosmith. Someone's coming I have to go. I love you and I'll see you as soon as I can." Delilah hung up just then. Brenn had tears streaming down her face the whole voicemail. she held her breathe all the way back to her room so she wouldn't cry so loudly it woke up her parents.

     The next day Brenn went to school in a baggy shirt and grey sweatpants with a messy bun. Her brown hair all over the place. Her hazel eyes clouded over from all the tears she shed the night before and this morning. She didn't get much work done for she was spaced out all day in a daze. At lunch Justin and Allen had no idea what was happening  to her because they didn't know about the relationship to begin with. Jared and Tim tried to comfort her, but she quietly said "I'm fine" as she was looking down. Tim grabbed her hand and held it for the rest of lunch, but this wasn't a pretend boyfriend thing it was to tell her he was there for her and he's going to hold her hand through the whole mess. Brenn appreciated it and it did help a little. After they were done eating they walked to put their trays up, Tim holding Brenn's hand the whole way. After their trays were up they went down the hallway to Brenn's locker like they do everyday. Jared and Tim sat on the floor on each side of her cuddling her and holding hands subtley across Brenn's back.  Tim sat on the right side of her holding her hand with his right hand as his left was softly intertwined in Jareds Right hand.  The bell rang and since Jared had every class with Brenn he walked her there, but before they went Tim whispered in Jared's ear "I expect you to hold her hand the whole day for me. I'll be here when the last bell rings to take you two to my house".  Jared did just that. This cofused everybody at the school, but especially Justin and Allen because Jared is Delilah's "boyfriend".

      At Tim's house there was an ice cream sunday bar already prepared for he had called someone to make it happen. There was almost everything deserty there. They ate their sundays and watched movies until it was 9:30 p.m. Brenn fell asleep on Tim and Jared shortly followed. They both ended up spending the night. They didn't get in trouble because Tim texted both of their parents.

     It's now Tuesday morning and Tim had just woken up the other two. He let Jared borrow a shirt and some jeans. He lent Brenn a shirt with his name on the back because it was the only one small enough to fit her and some different sweatpants that needed to be rolled up at the bottom. He gave her a sweatshirt too because it was a little cold outside and they went to school in Tim's new car. Brenn's hair was now even more messy. this pattern carried on until Monday.

     They all showed up to school on Monday and they all got out of Tim's car, Tim still holding Brenn's hand. All three walked to Brenn's locker to meet Justin and Allen. Brenn opened her locker to find flowers and a note saying discreetly come meet me in the bathroom. Brenn was confused, but she went. She hesitantly walked into the bathroom. Once she got in there her eyes watered and her breathe completely gone she smiled in disbelief. It was Delilah standing there with more flowers. She ran into her arms hugging until the bell rang and just before they left for their classes Brenn whispered "I love you too." and kissed her. It was a glorious moment that was cut too short by the late bell. Jared was concerned when she hadn't shown up to class so he asked to go to the bathroom. istad of gong to the boys bathroom he looked around to make sure no one was watching and walked into the girls bathroom to find the two kissing.

     "Woah, ok was not expecting that."

     "What are you doing in here?" Delilah asked really confused.

      "Making sure your girlfriend is ok." he said

      "Well carry on" he said and went back to class.
