hope in his voice. I had to look away from those haunting eyes.
"No," I felt like it was all I could say, and I barely got it out, it was merely a whisper.
"You are so full of shit Delilah. I know you, even if you have been lying to me continually since the day we met. I. Know. You." His voice, his beautiful voice was full of pain. I gathered all of my strength together, I could do this if it meant he would live. I looked him in the eyes, but I was trying to look through him to ignore their intensity.
"Isaiah, all you were to me is a puzzle I wanted to solve and another pay check in my pocket," I almost believed myself for a minute with how convincing my voice sounded. He had never laid a harmful finger on my head, but in that brief moment I thought he would. So many emotions went through his eyes. He was fighting the hurt, and in the end hate won out.
"Alright then… Now that I know how you really feel it will be so much easier leaving this fucking hell hole. I honestly hope you aren't lying this time Delilah. I could get you away from them. Damn it, I could have loved you like no one else ever will," he said harshly. I willed myself not to cry, not to show any emotion when I looked back at him. I could tell in his eyes that he know what I was thinking, he knew what I was doing and he wouldn't sweet talk me out of it. He wasn't that kind of guy.
"I hate you," in that particular moment it was true. He had figured me out, he had cracked me and made me feel things I never had before, and I hated him for it.
There a few sayings I never thought I would understand. I realize now that I have to experience them to know. ' The silence was deafening, ' that is one I now understand with perfect clarity.
He had walked out on me with a slammed door of finality. One minute we were screaming and the next I was alone. My heart was the only thing I could hear, pounding hard and fast inside of my ears. There was nothing else; nothing to distract me from my guilty thoughts.
I was alone, in complete silence, with all of my regrets.
Chapter Sixteen- Not Knowing Where to Go
Something grew inside of me. Starting just above my stomach, where my heart should be. It kept getting bigger and bigger until I felt engulfed in it. But it wasn't filling me up. Instead I felt empty, it was as if everything was being sucked out with such intensity that I couldn't breathe.
I tried closing my eyes and thinking of things to calm me. I tried walking and then running. I tried anything I could think of at the time to make this sudden burning void disappear, but nothing worked. Only when I sat down and concentrated on this strange feeling did I realize what was happening… My heart was breaking. I was no longer stone cold Delilah, ruthless killer, heartless bitch.
Oh no, I had a heart and it was in major pain. When Isaiah walked out that door he took a good portion of my heart with him. He was probably putting it through a blender right now. I cried, and screamed, and hit things until my voice was hoarse and my hands were bloody and bruising. Why the hell was I being so stupid? Isaiah could offer me a way out. I wouldn't have to live this life and I would be loved. I could live a normal life! Why was I letting him walk away? Why was I pushing him away?
I thought I was being strong, for his sake. I didn't want to be strong anymore though. I was through with being tough. This was my breaking point. I hated this feeling, it was new and unfamiliar. I was expecting myself to be a pillar. The pressure was too much; this building was going to collapse.
If we were together, we'd have a better chance of survival anyway. We both knew how to fight, to kill, to sneak away. We could run far and not have to worry about being caught. I knew I had to call him before he got too far away. I ran for my phone and dialed his number. It rang four times before I heard his voice.
