Chapter Thirty-One: The Trip

Deliah's POV

As I packed my bags for the trip, the only thing on my mind was one name. One wretched name. Kelsey. She's the only thing that can possibly get in my way this weekend. And I refuse to let all of my careful planning go to waste because of one biotch.

I just finished packing when a sound downstairs got my attention. I don't hear any cursing so I assume it's my mom but to be safe I go downstairs to check.

"Oh, your home." she says with a smile. "Mmh." I reply and go into the kitchen to grab a snack.

"So I hear you're going on a trip. It sounds very exciting. And I even heard that boy you like, what was his name again oh yeah Keanu, is also going. You must be-"

"Don't talk about Keanu! And don't act like you know me! Just grab a bag of fresh clothes and go back to wherever you came from." I say coldly and run to the stairs but she stops me by grabbing my wrists.

"Deliah Lodge! I am your mother and you will not speak to me like that! You will respect me! It's because of that boy, right? You've been spending too much time with him and that's why you're acting like this. And you wonder why you're father is the way he is with you. " she fires into my face.

" What did you just say to me? " I yell grabbing her by the throat. "Deliah!" she weezes. "No! Don't 'Deliah' me now! And don't you dare blame me or Keanu for you're husband's fucked up way of handling his job and your relationship issues! I spent my whole life defending you! I took the blows for you multiple times and you're the only reason I still live in this hell hole! So shut up and stop acting like you own me because you are not my mother! Not anymore. " I say releasing her and running up to my room. I grab my bags and exit the house running. When I'm about 20 feet away I call Damon to pick me up and he arrives in less then ten minutes to take me to his house.

When I enter his house an aura of love surrounds me and I feel at home. "Deliah!" Damon's mother exclaims when she sees me and immediately pulls me in for a hug. "It's been so long, my dear. Go ahead and put away your things and come down. You're helping me with tommorow's snacks." I smile at the thought of being in a kitchen with her again and immediately does as she says. When I was younger I used to come here every weekend and bake with her while Damon and his father watched a game or fixed up the car. In less than an hour me and Damon's mom catch up on lost time while baking anything imaginable: cupcakes, brownies, fudge and many more. I can already see me having a toothache by the end of the trip.

After baking and later cooking for about four hours me and Damon finally went to bed but not before talking about our plans for the weekend. We wake up and get ready in less than an hour and head to the school direct after. As usual our school bus is late like it is at any other event or function and everyone rushes to put their bags in and I unfortunately was one of the last to put mine in so when I enter the bus Andreen already snagged the seat next to Keanu and I go to sit next to Damon and Carmen at the back of the bus. It's not all bad, besides for my inner rage surfacing, Keanu sits one row infront of me so I can atleast spy on them for the next seven hours which doesn't seem like too long.

I lied. It was seven agonizing hours sitting and watching Andreen flirt her ass off with Keanu. It would've been more subtle to flash her boobs which I'm pretty sure she also did.

After finally registering and getting our room numbers and keys I finally get a chance to rest before initiating my plan. But I only got a few hours of sleep in when loud knocking woke me up. Sleepily getting up I opened the door without knowing I was letting in a small party. Nate, Damon, Armando and 2 more football players along with Carmen and two other girls entered my room.

"Woah. And this?" I asked Damon. "Relax, chica. It's just us. The teachers are patrolling the square so we had to pack up our drinks and-"

"Drink in my room?" I interrupt Damon. "You have one of the biggest rooms, you live alone and you needed company. Can you blame me?" I was about to reply but a nauseating image caught my attention. Keanu entered the room but not alone. His arm was draped around the small frame of Kelsey.

That bitch really had some nerve coming into my room and with my man.

It really took all of me not to lunge at her with the small pocket knife I had in my bra. She was laughing like a chicken having a seizure and kept touching Keanu's arm like a prostitute. Wouldn't even surprise me if she had a 'special' job on the weekends. She looks up at me and gives me her best pageant smile which I return a stinkeye to. She frowns like I actually hurt her feelings, oh please. Needing air I stand up and exit the room. I bump into a tall figure in the hallway.

"Sorry." I say looking up into grass green eyes.

"It's alright. Jack's the name." he says holding out his hand. "Deliah" I say shaking it.

"Hey, Deliah. You haven't seen a girl named Kelsey, have you? She's from Rose." he asks.

"Unfortunately yes. She's in my room."

"Your room? What is she doing there? Wait, she's with that ass isn't she? Collins." Woah. Didn't see that coming.

"Yeah, you know him?"

"Know him? I despise him. We've been archenemies since middle school and now he's trying to steal Kelsey from me. "

"Interesting. So Jack, wanna join me for a party? I think we can be good friends."
