I'm woken up at Ed pounding on my bed and screaming.
"DAY. DAY DAY DAY DAY DAY. THAT POEM YOU PUT UP LAST NIGHT WHO IS THAT ABOUT I NEED TO KNOWWW."
I groaned and sat up.
"Ed. No one. It's about no one."
"You're lying. You couldn't write something like that and it be about no one."
I stood up and rolled my eyes at him searching through my closet for something to wear today.
"I promise it's not. I would tell you, obviously."
Ed sat down on the bed crossed legged, he opened my laptop and started going through my poem blog. If it was anyone else I would snatch it away, but Ed knows everything on there already.
"I still don't understand how you only have two followers on this whole thing. You need to advertise this or something. You're an amazing writer Day."
I smiled at him, I loved the nickname he have me when we were only little.
"Nah, I mean why? I only made it so I could put my poems somewhere other than my old notebook."
he scrolled through all my previous poems and got down to the first one.
"This is my favorite."
I smiled and agreed silently, Ed started reading my first ever poem out loud.

"A Place in This World.
Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission.
But I'm ready to fly.
I'm alone.
On my own.
That's all I know.
I'll be strong.
I'll be wrong.
But life goes on
I'm alone.
On my own.
That's all I know.
I'm just a girl.
Trying to find a place in this world."

I frowned a little, it was sad to look back on how lonely I was.
"You know why that's my favorite right?"
I smiled again.
"Of course I do."
He opens up another recent one from a few months ago.
"Welcome to New York."
"Look how far you've come. I'm so proud of you."
I smiled widely and looked at my best friend.
"By: Delilah Watson,"
"Why do you use that name again? Just use Taylor Swift. LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW."
He starts shaking shoulders, I'm laughing by now and pushing him away.
"Ed, Ed okay stop. You know I don't want people from my old school or anybody I know besides you and Liv knowing this is me."
He rolls his eyes and stands up.
"You're so silly. C'mon."
I stand up with him, what did he have planned now?
"No Ed I'm not going to some blind date or anything like that again. Last time this happened I ended up at a singles mixer filled with a lot of 50 year old men. Not that they weren't all lovely, but just not my type you could say."
I sat back down.
"Day I just want you to meet a friend of mine. I think you'll like him."
I looked at him blankly. No words were needed for what I was going to say next.
"Okay. Cool. I'm leaving now. Bye Day."
I smiled.
"Goodbye Ed".
He walks out my door and I soon hear my apartment elevator going down, I open my laptop again to check Facebook or twitter or something to past time, when I notice an email notification. What the hell? I was logged into my delilahwatson1989 account. I made it in case anyone would want to contact me about my poems, so far that has not happened. Well I guess until now. I opened my email app and the first and only message other than spam. I opened the email.
"Hi Delilah.
I'm Harry and I'm actually pretty obsessed with your poems, I was binge reading them last night and couldn't stop. I ended up staying awake till eight am just reading your work. You're an amazing writer. I just wanted to let you know and see if I could just talk to you, Thanks.
-Harry S."
a huge smile creeped on my face and I instantly started writing him back.
"Harry,
Oh my gosh!! You actually like them? You're the only person other than my two best friends who actually have read them I think. Thank you so much!! I was going to try and remain cool about this but it's honestly so hard right now! Yes of course we can talk. I'm Tay-"
I stopped. Should I say my actual name? This is the first time I've had to deal with something like this. I guess I should use my "alter ego" considering I planned that from the start. And who knows, he could be an ax murderer. I backspaced what I had already typed and rewrote my name.
"I'm Delilah."

a/n:
thank you so much to the people who have voted and read and liked my story so far :)
also, I changed the lyrics to a place in this world a little bit to make it sound more like a poem and less like a song. don't forget to please vote and comment your feedback!
also I don't have a laptop yet so I am writing this on my phone. so I apologize for possible typos, even though I do my best at editing my rough drafts.
