She stole my heart

Chapter 8

Edgar
I'd never seen a girl so fragile in my life,I've only ever seen one person this fragile and that person was my sister.

The last time i saw my sister this fragile was when my mother dragged her out of our house.

My sister cried and begged but my mother didn't listen.

Delilah looked exactly like that at this exact moment. I saw my sister in someone in a very long time.

Delilah was crying she was sobbing and for the first time in many years I didn't like seeing a girl cry I didn't want or liked seeing Delilah sad.

Seeing her sad made my heart hurt like hell and I didn't like it one bit.

I had to make her stop crying else I would only get more and more hurt.

"Hey angle stop crying"did I just call her angel what is wrong with me why am I acting like this.

I got pulled out of my thoughts when I felt Delilah wrap her hands around my waist and rested her head on my chest.

She was still crying and my shirt was getting wet but I didn't care about that I just needed to get her to stop crying.

Seeing her cry felt like a stab in the heart.

"Please stop crying"I said softly trying to calm her down and it worked.

Her crying subsided and she slowly lifted up her head from my shirt.

When I saw her face I felt like crying.

Her eyes were red and puffy from all the crying,her lips were still quivering.

And I noticed she was shivering that's when I realized that her sweater wasn't really thick enough to stop the cold from penetrating through it.

I quickly removed the coat I was wearing and gave it to her.

"here wear this and I'll take you home OK?"

"No please I don't want to go home" her voice was a bit raspy from all the crying she had been doing.

"But-"

"Please"

She really didn't want to go so I gave in.

Sigh"fine you can come with me to my house and you can stay in the guest bedroom but on one condition "

"And that is?"

"That you have to call your parents and explain to them why you haven't and won't be going home"

"Do I really have to?"

"If you want to come with me, you do"

"Fine. Give me a minute I'll go call them and then we can leave"

"Alright"

Delilah got up and walked Down into the park.

After I couldn't see her anymore I  let my head down.

I realized that after what happened today,after what Delilah told me we grew a lot closer and that I had started to fall in love with her.

And this time I would let myself fall for her because, she's different from other girls.

She never tried to flirt,she seemed like she didn't care about money,she was not scared of me,she understands my pain.

I can keep listing but the list would never end.

I didn't even realize that Delilah was already in front of me.

"Hey I talked to my parents and although it took a lot of convincing they agreed"she said bringing me back to reality.

"Alright let's go its already very late"

"Yeah let's go"

I got up and we walked to the car. I opened the door of the passenger seat for her and she got in.

I went to the drivers seat,got in and started the car.

--------------------------------------------------

We had arrived at my house and my dad wasn't home,he had to work late today so he wouldn't be back till around 8:00 in the morning.

I was about to show Delilah to the guestroom when she said.

"Can I please stay in your room?"

I was shocked and caught off guard by what she just said.

"W-w-why?"I asked still feeling shocked by her question.

"I just don't want to sleep alone that's all"

"No there's something else I can feel it"

"No there isn't"she said looking down.

I knew there was something wrong so I did this.

I grabbed her chin slightly and turned it up to face me and then said.

"listen you can trust me I understand what you are going through"

She sighed and said"alright your right there is something else"

"And what's that?"

"Whenever I remembered my brother I always got nightmares"

I knew what she was talking about cause when my mom left with my sister I always had nightmares.

I sighed and gave in"alright let's go"

We walked to the front of my room and I opened the door.

When we got in she scanned the room.

"Look I think we should sleep else we won't be able to wake up for school tomorrow"I said making her turn to face me.

"Yeah your right"

"You can take the bed I'll sleep on the floor"

Just as I was about to go get blankets she said"no worries I'll sleep on the floor its your house after all"

"Does everything have to be an argument with you? Just take the bed my mind is already made up"

Sigh"fine"

"Good now go to bed its already very very late"

"Alright, goodnight"

"Yeah goodnight"

She climbed the bed,closed her eyes and rested her head on the pillow.

She looked so adorable while she slept. Everything this girl did made my heart flutter.

I yawned and I knew I needed sleep so I layer the blanket on the floor,laid down and closed my eyes.

I couldn't stop thinking about her,about the fact that she was right here in my bedroom.

This girl is going to be the death of me.
