Mitch's POV

I look over at Daniella and look at her face. Her normal brown eyes are a very light shade of hazel, her hair is frazzled some but still it's normal chestnut-brown. She looks over towards my direction and I look away. Why doesn't she trust me or Jerome?

I get up from my chair to the one next to her. She glances my direction and moves over some to the opposite side of her chair. "Dani?" I ask her softly.

"Don't call me Dani..." She says quietly.

"Daniella... why don't you trust me?" she looks toward me and sighs.

"I just can't trust anyone. Delilah and I have been through a lot and trusting others isn't on my agenda."

"You can trust me and Jerome, we won't hurt you or Delilah. I can promise you that." She laughs quietly.

"What did I say before Mitchell, just-just don't." She looks up at the ceiling and starts to hum.

"What have you two been through that's so bad?" Her eyes go wide and I see some tears in her eyes. "Yo-you don't have to tel-"

"No" she wipes her tears away. "You deserved to know, so you can at least understand." She turns her self towards me.

"It all started when me and Lilah were about 7, our father started to drink, saying 'It helps ease my pain'. Well being young, we didn't understand. He started to shout, and yell at our mother saying it's all her fault. He-he would scare Delilah and I, so we would not want to leave our room when he would yell at her. By the time we were 11 he would beat us with his belt. Kids at our school would laugh at us, saying no one wanted us and the teachers were to high to give a shi-ship. He would always pick on Lilah a lot worse, but I don't know why though. Our mother died when we were 15, from a pill overdose. Since then, we have been trying to get away from our dad and our past. Once we get away from it all, your former team comes into our lives and jacks it all up." She looks up at me. "So that's why we can't trust anyone."

I look at her eyes and I kiss her. "You can trust us." I mumble on her lips.

Jerome's POV

I look towards the fountain outside of the hospital front. I go over and sit down and stare at the water, seeing my reflection and remembering the day Delilah tried to jump from the bridge.

I'm walking in the bridge when I see a girl on the ledge of it, I start to run over to her and see its Delilah.

I grab her arm back when she is tipping forward and when I get there.

"Why Delilah Why." I say into her hair

She starts to cry in my arms and I sing the first song that comes to my mind.

"Hey there Delilah, what's it like in New York City, I'm a thousand miles away, but girl tonight you look so pretty yes you do. Time Square can't shine as bright as you, I swear it's true." I lightly sing.

"Hey There Delilah, don't you worry about the distance, I'm right there if you get lonely, give this song another listen close your eyes. Listen to my voice it's my disguise, I'm by your side. Oh it's what you do to me, oh its what you do to me, oh it's what you do to me, oh it's what you do to me, what you do to me." I sing.

I look down at her, her brown eyes filled with tears. She's broken.

And I kiss her

I look back at the water and I see Delilah. "Delilah?" I say with tears in my eyes. When my tears hit the water, it ripples and her image disappears.

"Hey there Delilah...." I say quietly
