Who We Are {Bullied By Team Crafted} (Book 1)

Chapata 36: Lie

Delilah's POV

I really hated lying to Daniella. More than anything really.

Did I still like (maybe even love) Jerome? Yes. Would I admit it to anyone? Never.

Why must my life be like this?
As thoughts like this swirled through my head, I hadn't noticed my close proximity to Jerome as I tried to help his bruises. I looked down at my feet as I felt a blush come.

I grabbed a bandage next to me and un-did the wrapping. I looked up at Jerome's face to apply it to a cut when my eyes locked with his.

I couldn't tell if he was either angry or sad cause I couldn't read eyes well. But I knew he wanted to talk to me,
problem for him was that I didn't want to talk now.

Putting the bandaid on the cut, I swiftly walked over to the couch and plopped down next to Dani who was watching a random television show.

I kept my eyes glued to the tv as Jerome walked over to all of us and sat down.

"What should we do now." Daniella said, breaking the silence that circled the room. "Well, we can continue this fascinating show." Mitch said with sarcasm fully intended. "Or we could go outside."

"What's there to do outside that isn't inside?" I asked. I was actually comfy where I was at, besides the fact that Jerome was staring at me.

"Well my dear Li-"

"Delilah." Dani and I said simultaneously.

"De-lilah" he emphasized. "Outside there is trees to climb, bikes to ride, swings to swing, slides to slide, stores to shop, and food to eat." Mitch said.

"Does it look like I care?" I said to Mitch, pointing at my face.

"Maybe." He said.

"Well I don't, and we are staying inside, because a.) your former friends maybe outside and b.) from what I can see 'The Walking Dead' season 1 re-runs are on."
