❝IN WHICH, IT IS A COLD DECEMBER IN LONDON, AND SNOW ISN'T THE ONLY THING THAT'S FALLING. HE'S FALLING FOR HER AS WELL.❞
Will Delilah Fitch be nothing more than a dance to remember?
❝DON WE NOW, OUR GAY APPAREL.❞ ________________________
Parker would never find anything as comfortable as having Delilah's head on his shoulder.
Some times, when he looks up to thank the stars for this precious moment, he can almost see them twinkling with jealousy.
"Maybe I should become a psychologist. Might be able to help my mom come over this depression."
Parker went stiff at the very thought of Delilah's proximity to her mom.
Delilah's injuries painted a slightly dangerous picture of her mother, and Parker wanted to keep Delilah safe within the confines of his presence.
"Whatever happens, you have to be strong, Delilah."
She sat up from her reclined position on his shoulder. "I am strong, aren't I?"
"The strongest girl I've ever seen." He leaned forward to tuck a stray lock of her blonde hair behind her ear. "But you must know to stand up for yourself. You must know to do the right thing for yourself. Yes, your mother is suffering, but I wouldn't want to see your life going to waste because of it." He paused. "You really have a lot of potential, Delilah."
Delilah bit her lip, as Parker's words ran though her mind.
"I don't want to waste this life," she said in a small voice. "I've got dreams too. Things I want to achieve."
She looked up at him forlornly as though the weight of this realisation was crushing down upon her.
"Hey," Parker immediately said, placing both hands on her cheek. "You'll get there, Delilah. Trust me." Her lip trembled at the thought of never being able to fulfill her dreams. "Your dreams are my dreams, and I'll do everything in my power to help you achieve them." He stared determinedly at her. "Okay?"
She breathed, putting an end to the frenzied beats of her heart.
He was always there to stop her pain, her doubts, her suffering.
(he was always there)
