Delilah Fray is dead. On the inside, anyway. After an unnamed incident at the end of her sophomore year, unable to verbalize what her life has come to and unable to voice the problems, the only voice (and solace) Delilah is able to find comes in the form of music.
Ben Hall was the cause, although he doesn't know it yet. Unable to get piano girl out of his head, he finally ends up befriending her.
And it's a little too perfect.
But what happens when Delilah finally uncovers the behind-the-scenes moments of that night, and worse, learns that Ben was directly involved in the very thing that tore her life apart?

Daisies for Delilah
C O M P L E T E D Previously called: They Met On A Sunday ☙❦❧ "Beautiful," he mumbled to himself as he studied the way her hair fell down her shoulders. How her cheekbones sat. How her eyelashes brushed her brow bone. Everything about her. "Hmm?" she sounded out. She heard what he said, but refused to believe he was saying it about her. She was probably hallucinating. She shook her head to try and clear her mind. He watched her in amusement. "Um sorry," she mumbled, "I think I'm hearing things." She laughed awkwardly, letting her eyes stray from his face and look at anything else she could possibly look at. "No you weren't," he corrected her. "You heard right." She lifted her head in surprise and he was already smirking. The glint in his eyes told her that he wasn't lying either. Her heart swelled and she bit her lip instinctively. He groaned. "Fuck Delilah don't do that," his eyes darkened as he admired her plump lips, waiting for the moment he could kiss them. "For my sake." ☙❦❧ A story about a girl who thought she loved a boy; a story about a boy the girl didn't love. ☙❦❧ #1 in the Bouquet Bunch Short Story. Cover by @xtruebeautyx Copyright ©Complete
