The boy across the street

The Funeral

*Delilah's POV*

I woke up at 10:30 and Toby was up and using his computer. I looked over and watched what he was doing, he was doing online school. "Good morning sleeping beauty." Toby said. "Why are you up so early?" I said smiling into the crook of his neck. "I have some science homework that I didn't understand and it's due today." He said looking at the screen. then it hit me, school started a few days ago. "Oh yeah. What science is it?" "Earth science." He said. I finished Earth Science when I left Virginia, so I looked and the answer was apparent. "Do you want some help? I used to tutor for earth science." I said. "yeah thank you. No one in my house is good at science. Mostly this astronomy unit I'm in." me and him laughed and I helped him with his science homework. "Oh yeah, my mom wanted to give this to you." Toby handed me a computer and then a card. Inside the computer, was a sticky note that said my log in to online school. I set the computer aside then opened the card. A tear started rolling down my cheek when I opened it and saw the notification of my mom and brothers funeral that was being held at 3:30 today. When I looked up, Toby was holding a white dress. I looked at him strangely because I thought you were supposed to wear black to a funeral. "Momma set it up. She thought that it shouldn't be all sad and depressing, so she asked everyone to wear white." I got up and looked at the dress, it was super pretty. Toby had an outfit on the door. It was a white dress shirt with black pants, "My mom and us are coming with you." I smiled and hugged Toby. Then I went in his bathroom to take a shower. I didn't lock the door because Toby was in the room and he wouldn't let anyone in and he wouldn't walk in. I hope.

*Toby's POV*

Delilah was in the shower and I was doing my school work when I heard her singing. She had a flawless voice, so I went to the door and listened to her sing. She was singing She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5. But I accidentally leaned to much on the door and it swung open and I tripped but jumped behind the wall. "Toby. Can you close the door please. I'll sing for you later." I laughed at the fact that she knew I was listening to her singing. She had a towel inside I walked in and closed the door as she was laughing. She came out right after I shut the door and she was dripping wet in a towel. She walked over to me and took my shirt of and kissed my lips then walked back into the bathroom. I could feel blush forming on my cheeks, "Okay then, just take my shirt off and wear it." She came out a second later laughing her ass off at me. "You are a strange child Delilah." I said and started to laugh with her. Then my mom came in, "Hey were leaving in 1 hour so we can also get lunch before the funeral." She have me a smile then left. I turned to Toby who was playing with my straightening iron that I plugged in already. I walked over and plugged in my blow drier and dried my hair. When I was done toby started playing with the straightening iron. "Can I straighten your hair?" I asked "yea you can." I started straightening her hair. U finished in 30 minutes and I actually did good, so she didn't have to redo it. "You actually straightened it good!" "Yeah I'm that cool!" I said feeling accomplished. Delilah grabbed her dress and a bando and then shoved Me out of the bathroom so she could change. I put on my clothes and brushed my hair. Delilah walked out in her dress, which had lace all over and was strapless and fingertip length. It looked perfect on her. She had on some white heels and she pulled her bangs back and put a white Lacey bow over the bobby pin that held her bangs in place. "You look beautiful." The blush started to come out on her cheeks. I took her hand and led her down the stairs. We sat on the couch and waited for everyone. My momma came down first, she was wearing a plain white dress. Dad followed her and then the boys. Me, my brothers, and my dad were all in the same thing. We all hugged and then walked to the car. We drove to bay rock diner, the best place EVER. We finished eating then went to the funeral. Their were a lot of people we didn't know, but Delilah introduced us. Delilah would grab my hand and would walk me over to her extended family letting me meet them. Momma knew Delilah's moms sisters, so momma and the boys walked around with her sister. Her whole family was sweet, they didn't deserve this to happen to them.

*Delilah's POV*

I introduced toby to everyone in my family BUT my cousin Lindsey. She is a major slut. Every guy likes her for some reason I don't understand. She has long blonde hair and brown eyes. As we walked to the room where we were gonna have the funeral service, I heard a scream. "Oh my god Deli, I'm so sorry!" she came and hugged Toby instead of me. Toby mouthed 'Help Me' which made me laugh. Toby hates people who are fake, like Lindsey is. "Who's this deli?" This is my boyfriend Toby." Lindsey's face went blank when she heard boyfriend. Toby walked up and kissed me, making Lindsey roll her eyes and walk away. I looked at him and smiled. He grabbed my hand and we walked to our seats. We had the front row seats because I was the daughter/brother. My aunts gave speeches and then my uncles. And then we went to the site where my mom and brother were getting burried. I cried as I saw the coffins getting lowered into the ground. Toby held me as I cried and he cried to. When everything was over we drove home. When we got home, Joan and Mark went out on a date and left us home. They said they were going to a movie and dinner so they wouldn't be home for a while. We all changed into our pajamas and made some spaghetti. Then we all sat on the couch and talked about the tour. Then the doorbell rang and Connor got it. Sierra walked in with pajamas on. "Hey bitches. Guess who's having a sleep over with Delilah. Woot woot." She screamed. "Were doing homework." Toby said. "I don't like you." I said as I pretended to do my trigonometry homework. She gave me a glare and I looked at her and then I mouthed sorry. She groaned and then left. The boys looked at me then burst out laughing. We all watched Fact or Faked: Paranormal files. I fell asleep before everybody else and dreamed of Devin. ________________________ I can't believe y'all got me to 321 reads! Well, I was thinking. What about two votes for the next chapter?
