Only Fate

Prologue

5 year old Delilah pov

A hot summer day it was, the annual Delacourt-Rosewood fourth of July lunch was today and I was in the living room.

"Delilah stop practicing your jumps in the living room you may knock something over," my mom said, my life was ice skating in and off ice

"Aurelia, leave the child alone," aunty Chiara said, she isn't my real aunt but I grew up with her and her family

My dad, her husband, Alessandro, was out on the deck, meanwhile, mom, Chiara, me, and her son Logan were inside making lunch on a hot summer day

Logan was by my side for as long as I could remember

"Lo what did you think about my jumps," I asked him smiling

"They were amazing, can you also teach me?" I then looked at my mom, she had a disapproving stare but I then pout and she changed her mind

"Fine, but first be sweeties and make the table," mom yelled as Lo and I giggled as we made our way to get the plates and eating utensils

I took the plaid red and white tablecloth and placed it on top of the table. Logan then set the plates and I helped with the utensils. Lo ran inside to get the napkins while I stayed to fix the table a little more. I've always been a perfectionist

When Lo came out with the napkins the dads noticed our presence.

"Hello kiddos what are you doing," Alessandro asked, I was kind of scared of him

"We are making the table so that then Lilah can teach me how to jump," he said shyly as he passed me the napkins

"I thought you were a hockey boy," his dad asked

"I am I just want to learn," he said shyly,

"Let the poor kid have fun," my dad said and Logan smiled and mouthed 'thank you' we then walked inside

"Tables all done," I said and walked toward aunty Chiara

"Good job Rose," she said and then kissed my forehead. Aunty Chiara was the only one who could call me Rose and dad or Alessandro would call me their ice princess because of my icy blue eyes

"ok Lo now you start like this with your leg rotated, then jump and let the wind make you twirl," I said demonstrating, I love being in the air it's just something I've enjoyed since I started walking

"like this?" he asked as he jumped but landed wrongly and tumbled down and dropped a vase

"Are you okay Lo?" I asked as our moms quickly made their way to the living room

"I told you Chiara this is why I didn't want them jumping around," mom said mad and my mind went into solution mode

"I'm okay aunty Aurelia," he said as mom checked him for any injuries

"Chiara, check your son I need to talk to Delilah," mom said as we both sat on the couch

"I'm sorry it was my fault I'll buy you a new vase," I said looking down and swinging my feet

"With what money love?" she asked and I started to think

"My birthday is coming soon maybe with that money," I said and she then hugged me and told me "It's fine Li and kissed my cheek,"

"Can I help you finish making lunch?" I then asked her

"Yeah now let's go I don't like seeing you sad," mom said as we both made our way to the kitchen where Aunty Chiara and Lo were laughing

After that, we spent quality time with just the four of us but after a while Lo and I got bored so we decided to play a board game. Lo chose clue. He had always been the smartest of both of us
