Always Second

Chapter 17

For the next few weeks Delilah was extremely busy. It was mid October and she had homework, midterms, and commissions to get done on top of all of that. Delilah was busy in her thoughts of all she had to when Scarlett barged into her room.

"Savannah wants to know what you're going to be for halloween?"

Delilah turned towards Scarlett and grimaced. "I'm not going to any parties."

Scarlett looked appalled, "Of course you are!! Look Lilah, I love you but, you should know by now that you're not getting out of anything anymore."

Delilah laughed, "isn't it my decision."

Scarlett smiled and raised her brows, "Not anymore it isn't."

Delilah rolled her eyes at her. As sad as it seemed, Scarlett was right, ever since they had met Savannah, Delilah hadn't been able to get out of anything.

"Whatever, choose for me. I don't care." 

"Ok!" Scarlett left Delilah's room happily. She knew Delilah was going to say that and she was glad she did because Scarlett and Savannah already had their costumes ready.

*****

"There is no way I am wearing that." Delilah looked at the outfit in front of her. It was a sexy cop costume with black leather one piece suit, short sleeves and short shorts. It had to be leather didn't it? Delilah groaned. She hoped she didn't see Jace tonight. 

Savannah crossed her arms and glared at Delilah, "You're wearing it."

"Nope."

"Yes."

"No!"

Hearing the commotion, Scarlett joined Savannah. "You're wearing it Delilah."

"I am not, going to wear that!!"

Savannah's brow twitched, "It's either you wear it, or we make you wear it."

The three glared at each other for who know how long, and before she knew it, Delilah was in the costume groaning at every chance she got. The costume stuck to her skin and they even put straps on her waist and black garter straps on her mid thigh. On her left arm sleeve, it said police and she was wearing a silver badge on the side of her left breast. Scarlett had curled her thick black hair and let it fall down. The costume came with black leather gloves and Savannah made Delilah wear black leather high heel knee length boots and diamond stud earrings. Scarlett, who did her makeup went intense with the black eye liner and smokey eye, finishing it with red lipstick. The three of them had on the exact same thing,

All Delilah could say she was glad for was the police hat in which she could try to hide her face and shame in. Delilah put it on top of her head and fluffed her curls around to try to get more coverage. She was hating every moment of this.

"Ughh."

When they arrived, Delilah scowled at what was in front of her. She was hoping that she could avoid Jace but the chances of that seemed slimmed considering the fact that it was at his frat house.

As they entered, Delilah heard many screams and whistles in appreciation and looked down the entire way, following Scarlett and Savannah's footsteps in front of her. She was so uncomfortable and embarrassed to show anyone her face and she hoped nobody recognized her.
