I woke up to a pain in my chest and sore eyes,
when I looked around I realized it's not my bed I'm sprawled out in, i thought everything that happened was a dream. it was pitch-black outside leaving just the streetlights to illuminate the room, my eyes wandered around the darkness stopping on the lit up clock2 32 AM
I looked down at my body feeling that I wasn't wearing my dress, Instead I was wearing a big baggy shirt
and then what really happened last night hit me again, hard.
I felt the tears coming back as I got up stumbling towards the door.
my breathing got heavy, it felt like someone took the lungs from my bodyI opened the door looking around, it was all so overwhelming, the image of Olivia and ruby lying lifeless infront of me kept replaying in my head
"delilah" I only just heard Oscar's low sleepy voice over my pounding heartbeat and looked up to vaguely see him walking towards me
I tried to push him away but he didn't budge, holding me while I cried."why aren't I the one who got shot, I should've told them to get down" I choked on my words
"you did nothing wrong" I felt him let go of me but still kept a hold of his waist. my mind made me believe if I let go id fall through the floor
"you need to go back to sleep" he sighed wiping my tear stained cheek
but then I remembered my abuelita
"no no my abuelita doesn't know I'm here" I started to worry. every emotion I have feels 10x worse than It should.
" she knows. I talked to her, you need to sleep" he pried me off him taking my hand and pulling me back into whoevers room I was in.
"who's room is this" I asked trying to distract myself from the image of my friends"mine" he said kind of embarrassed
"you could've stayed in ceasers room but that shits a mess" he chuckled softly wiping his hand over his tired face
(not a single bed, js half of the room)this is exactly how I imagined it to be,
not that I imagined myself in his room or anythinghis bed is the comfiest thing I've ever layed on
and his pillows smell goodI got comfy again, but my heart felt sore and heavy.
"oscar" I said before he got the chance to leave the room
part of me thought latrelle would come back"can you stay with me" I asked quietly
I don't feel safe being in here aloneIt was dark so I couldn't see anything, but I heard the door shut, assuming that he left, I felt another tear roll down my cheek.
only seconds later I felt the covers lift up, and his warm body lie right next to mine"thank you" I whispered dozing off, dreaming that Olivia's Quince went a whole different direction, latrelle wasn't there, Olivia and ruby had the best night ever, not in hospital.
