1124 Words
Seth was shook as he didn’t know what to do , he was now kind of trapped in between Delilah’s head and the shut door behind him . He could not even lift a leg or he would hit the crying Delilah in the face - and believe it or not , it’s the last thing he ever wanted to do . “Get out .” Delilah muttered as she sat back , giving Seth space to open up the door and leave . Seth frowned and he bent down onto one knee , putting his finger under her chin once again and lift her chin , making her look up at him directly in his eyes , “ You look beautiful when you cry , but you should really stop . I get angry when I think of you crying .” he said through gritted teeth and he got up , opened the door , walked out and picked up his things , not sparing her a glance before leaving the bathroom .

Delilah sat dumbfounded on the seat , her cheeks were tear stained , her eyes puffy and red from the crying , ' Oh no , did Seth just see me cry ? ' she thought in horror , but she couldn't focus on that thought as his words ran through her head . Delilah shook off the feelings that just made her vulnerable and went on with the rest of her day , acting like Seth didn't show her a minute of kindness , acting like he didn't cause her to flee from an important class and she acted like he simply didn't exist . When he would be surrounded by dozen of girls , all of them hovering around him like he is their source of oxygen , she wouldn't notice , but he noticed that she didn't notice and that made him angry . ' Why doesn't she look at me ? ' he thought as she just walked past him and the girl who has his tongue down her throat . He saw her coming and his eyes were glued on her , but she wasn't phased by his little acts , it did nothing to her so she was not concerned with it .

Later at home , Delilah did her chores and since she started school , she didn't need to make breakfast or dinner , except on weekends , because she now uses that time to do her homework and it was pretty nice of Deucalion to authorize that for her , she on the other hand didn't think he would have done something so .. nice . " Delilah ! " Boomed Deucalion's voice . Delilah lifted her head from out of her books and she stood up from the table in the kitchen and ran out towards Deucalion , whom was sitting at the dinner table . " Where's the food ? " he asks angrily and Delilah froze , " Almost ready , sir . " she told him as she looked down at the floor . " Make it quicker . " he grumbled . Delilah nodded her head slowly , " On it , sir . " she bows her head . " Go ! " Deucalion booms and Delilah turns on her heels and heads back into the kitchen , ' He probably had a bad day . ' she thought . " Aunt Liz , how far is the food ? " she asks the cook and Liz smiles at her , " It will be ready in about five minutes , go finish your homework . " she tells Delilah . " Thanks . " Delilah thanked her before sitting down and finishing the last of her maths homework .

" You probably got everything wrong . " Seth scoffed as he entered the kitchen , grabbing juice from the fridge . " Well unlike some people , I am actually in my classes . " Delilah mutters and she froze as she felt his death glare on her . ' Shut up . ' she thought as she tightly shut her eyes . " And what does that mean ? " Layla asks as she stood with her arms crossed in the doorway . Delilah's head shot up , her eyes meeting Layla's and she looked away immediately . " Nothing mam . " she says as she focuses on her homework . " No , tell me . " Layla insists . Delilah clenched on her teeth , " There's just a lot of people skipping class . " she mutters and Layla nods , " Is one of them Seth ? " Layla asks curiously . Delilah shook her head sideways , " I won't know , we aren't in the same grade , mam . " she breathed out and Layla nodded her head , " Alright . " she mumbles and turns to face Liz , " Is the food almost done ? " Layla asks and the timer of the oven went off . " It it now . " she chimes as she grabs oven mittens and pulls the food out from the hot oven . " That looks great . " Layla chimes as she looks at the big roast with vegetables around it . " I'll cut the roast and bring it out for you in a minute . " Liz explains as she grabs a sharp knife and starts cutting the meat . She dished some food in a plate and hid it away so that Delilah can eat later .

She winked at Delilah before exiting the kitchen with the food . Delilah sat and worked in the kitchen , waiting for the Kellers to finish eating as she didn't want to eat before they were done . " Delilah ! " She heard Layla's voice calling for her and she sighed as she stood up and walked out , " Yes mam ? " she asks as she looks down at the floor . " We're done , you can clean up . " Layla says as they all stood up and walked away . Delilah's heart twisted as she saw the food was all finished , the appreciation for Liz taking food out making her happy . Delilah washed the dishes , finished her homework , ate , showered and went to bed , all in an hour , as the lights were to be put off early that night . Layla did not like it when the lights were on after a certain time .
