Chapter 18

• DELILAH
• I scream into my pillow and try to cool down. Once I have had my fill of screaming, I lift my face and turn to lie down on my back. All I can do is stare at the ceiling as the events of yesterday and this morning replay in my mind. My thighs pull closer together as my thoughts linger on what Beau did on our way to his apartment last night and then on what he did this morning. Turning my head, I scream into my pillow again as I remember the look on Jenny’s face as Beau kicked me out. Pure victory. It annoyed the shit out of me. But the main source of my anger is that Beau asked me to leave. I feel so hurt by what he did. How could he kick me out of his house just because his mother wanted me gone? A part of me actually thought he would fight his mother and tell her I wasn't going anywhere. His reaction isn’t surprising though. It's not the first time Beau has sided with his mother. When we were together, he never defended me against the insults she hurled my way. I should know by now that when the time comes for Beau to choose, he will always pick her, as much as I hate to admit it. Which hurts a lot, because his mother is annoying as fuck. That woman belittles me every chance she gets.
• It was hard dealing with her when Beau and I were dating, but I felt it was worth it back then because I loved him. We aren’t together anymore, and she still insults me. Plus my feelings are getting crushed by Beau to top it all off. My life is just perfect, isn't it?
