six feet under the stars

I grabbed Delilah's hand. Hard. She screeched a little. "Why haven't you said anything to me!" I snarled in her face.
She was unmoving. Her eyes gave nothing away.
"its my fault so say something! Call me a name! Kill me with words its what I deserve!"
"that won't help me or you. It will only hurt worse later." Her words where like nails on a chalk board. But they where right. To feel terrible for an eternity or to feel bad for a few weeks more.

"you don't understand. I need to know what you think. Otherwise I don't know what to do with my life." She put her arms around me and kissed my head. I didn't realize how much weight she lost until that moment.

"you need to eat. Now." I whispered. I grabbed a cookie from the plate on the counter and stuffed it in her mouth. She giggled but ate it. And twelve more. It was a breath of fresh air watch her grow up and eat something.



Delilah laughed at the traffic below us. I never did understand her sense of humor. "hey Delilah what's one thing you regret in this life?"

she was silent for a minute before she said "my dad." I was clearly confused "Ok. To explain this come over here." She motioned for me to come to the edge of the balcony. "Look at all those people. They call it rush hour because so many people are trying to get someplace that doesn't really matter. My father is the most known and successful man out there. But from where I stand he's a failure. He knows what happened but never showed up he sold me off to Wendy and Alex. After eleven years of me being alone with nannies. I hate him for his business. Why can't this stupid business man thats out for a penny love his daughter?" She was crying. "Why doesn't he want me." Sobbs escaped her mouth. But as soon as they came they left and she was a smiling Delilah we all knew and loved.

That was the day I learned that sometimes broken messes of people ten d to be the most put together. Then what was I?

"so what about you?"
"any form of love I've ever had." I said
There was a moment of complete silence between us. Even the rush hour traffic that I now hated with Delilah seemed to shut down. "I never did here your story. Please tell me?"
