Part 9: My Goodbyes to My Friends

A/N: This whole thing is Delia... She is remembering about her past. This is why she always says something like "I remember" or "Back then" or something along that line. And by the way, that one song that was in the story was called "The One" and the person who sung it is "Shakita." The album is called "Laundry Service." Also my other SN is [2]Pikablu love@aol.com.

My goodbyes to my friends

I got another dorm quickly. Christina didn't know I had left--she hadn't come back yet.

I thought they were my friends! I thought Sam wouldn't do something like that... I thought I was wrong like always. Even today I think about that day.

I went to lunch. It was a dark rainy day. I decided to go to another place to eat, since I didn't want anyone to see me. Then I saw a fancy place that I had never gone to before. Before I even got to the door... Of course... even now I still say that Sam has a kin dog smell for me. ((^.~))

"Delia! Delia!" Samuel said right before he fell on the ground from slipping on a puddle of mud. "Delia!" he said again, trying to get up. I rolled my eyes and helped him up. He got up and wiped some mud that was on his shirt.

"Delia?"

"That's my name, all right!" I said sarcastically.

"Please, believe me, I didn't do it, I swear!"

"Is that why, when I went to ask you something, you had your hands on the box... to steal the necklace that my father gave to me before he died?... Was that it?" I said, almost in tears.

"Delia," he softly said, then tried to put his hand on my cheek. I moved away from him.

"Sam, I..." I was going to cry and I knew it. "I... I don't want to see you... ever again... Christina too..."

I turned around and hugged myself tight. I closed my eyes. I didn't want to see the world at the moment.

Samuel's POV

"If... if that's what you want... Delia." I couldn't leave her, but I knew I had to leave her alone for a while. I was shocked that she said that to me. I knew that she was mad, so I tried hard to fight the pain in my heart and the tears of loneliness in my eyes.

Delia's POV

I slowly opened my eyes and walked away. I didn't know where I was going, but I knew my heart wanted to stay.

The Letter

About three weeks passed, and I hadn't seen Christina or Samuel.

I went to class, I didn't see Christina. Maybe she had the baby or is having the baby. I really didn't know. All I knew is that the only ones I mainly talked to were John and Giovanni. My boyfriend knew I was in pain. He would take me out and talk to me. I didn't join--I was still a little confused.

Knock, Knock, Knock...

"Oh, Sam, why must you not leave me alone!" I said, walking to the door. My roommate was too busy taking a bath, so I answered it, thinking it was Sam. I opened the door and saw two police officers.

"May I help you?" I asked, confused and looking at both of them.

"Yes, is Ms. Delia Ketchem here?" the right one asked.

"Yes, I'm she," I said, wondering why they wanted me.

"May we come in?" the left one asked.

"Sure." I took them to the little kitchen we had.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"We got a call from... a lady who said that she went into her friend's house. Her friend was... laying on the table with a pen in her hand. She went over there and thought that her friend was sleeping. She shook her a little, then lifted her friend's head up to see her face... her friend was dead."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"She must've still been alive for a while longer because she wrote a letter. It was to be sent to you." The policeman said, handing me the letter.

"Who is this person?"

He put one hand covering his chin and looked at me in the eye and slowly said, "Delia... it's your mother."

I'm so sorry, I won't explain how she died. I'll explain later in the fan fiction, but not now!
