Delilah as Izzy (lost memories)

Something still did not feel right as hours passed. There was something about this Grayson guy that was familiar. He opened a door for me in my mind that made me question my life. I knew I was a orphan but there had been something about that, something was not right. I felt stupid for not noticing it before, there was a void in my mind, memories I did not seem to remember. There were so many signs that something was not right in my life but I never noticed it before. "For fucks sake, are you still in doubt?" Tal asked as he entered the kitchen. He scared me a little because I did not expect someone into the kitchen. I frowned at him, how did he know? "You just burned the chicken." He said and I sighed out of frustration. I was cooking dinner but I did not pay attention because I was too worried about thinking of my life.

"Thanks for being a jerk instead of helping." I said as I turned off the stove. I threw away the chicken as I inhaled deeply. I put the dishes in the dishwasher as I grabbed a glass of water for myself. I could not stop thinking about the uncertainty of my life. There were too many red flags but I could not figure out what exactly was wrong. It was already weird enough that I felt such a connection with Grayson but finding out that I was not myself was not just coincidence.

"I knew you were getting weaker, you can not even cook properly." Tal said annoyed and I felt the sudden urge to punch him but I held myself back.

"Just," I said aggressively. "Fucking order something then!" I said as I stormed out of the kitchen and grabbed my shoes and put on a hoodie. I was slowly starting to hate everything here. The people, the surroundings, the vibes. I wanted to get away from here but I knew I was also stuck.

"Where are you going?"

"Away from you and everyone here!" I said annoyed as I looked at Tal who followed me.

"You ain't going anywhere." Tal said as he looked the door. I sighed frustrated at him as I could kill him right now.

"You are not my boss and I do not have to obey you." I said as I pushed him out of the way but he had the key of the door in his hands so I could not unlock the door. "Foolish of you to think you can hold me captive." I said as I punched the window beside the door. The glass shattered and I removed the sharp pieces from the frame with my foot. I quickly got out of the house through the broken window as I started to run. I knew Tal would come after me, he always thought he could boss me around but he was nothing for me, nothing. I felt my hand bleed but I ignored it, it was the least of my problems. When I ran away from the mansion Grayson brought me too, I felt like I was making a mistake by getting away from it, but running away from this house felt like a relief. It was already dark outside but I could see properly. I knew where I was heading and it felt good. It did not took me long before I stood in front of a beautiful black gate. I smiled to myself as it felt like coming home. I did not need to understand why I felt this way, as long as I followed my own gut. I slowly pushed the button of the bell, hoping someone would answer and open the gate for me.

"Del- Izzy?" I heard through the bell.

"Yeah, can I please come in?" I asked to the bell. I heard a creak and the gate opened up slowly. I smiled brighter as I slowly walked up the property. The same old stairs made me smile. There was something intriguing about this mansion. As I walked up the stairs to the front door, I saw it opened up. Grayson was standing in the frame with ruffled hair and in his sweatpants. Shit, why did I not check the time before coming up here?

"Are you ok?" Grayson asked as I was on top of the stairs. I saw the concern on his face as I slowly nodded.

"Nothing unusual to me." I said as I smiled it away. I stood in front of him as he grabbed my wrist softly and checked out my hand that I used to shatter the window.
