**Delilah**

"Stop talking", I say desperately wanting the bitter sweet words to stop flooding from his lips.

My heart skips a beat each time he confesses his love and I'm sure it's medically dangerous on my part.

He loves me enough to let me go. And I never want him to let go...

He leans his head against the tree staring into my watery eyes with his own stained ones. I slide my thumb over his pink plump lips and all I want to do is kiss him.

Hoping all the confusion and the pain we feeI inside over these past 2 days would just just evaporate into thin air.

So I place my lips to his and he instantly returns it. Passion, longing and most of all love explodes into the kiss. And in that moment I felt complete and wouldn't want to experience that electricity with anyone else.

Because it would only work with him, the way my body reacts to him. The way he clouds my mind, my thoughts, my heart. Nobody will ever make me feel the way he does.

And that's a true fact.

The kiss soons breaks and he places his forehead against mine, we just sit in comfortable silence staring into each others eyes and it just feels right.

He moves his lips placing a few kisses to my forehead and butterflies swern to where his lips were.

The hot sun shining brightly on us, lighting up his features and I'm pretty sure I'm staring at an angel. I take his hand in mine, intwining our finger slowly standing up and he follows.

"You need some rest", his voice filled with emotion and I smile weakly.

"Hazel needs me to be strong for her, and I will be. I need to be strong for you too, for us", I answer and he tightens his trip around my hand, bringing it to lips placing a light kiss to my flesh.

"And don't you even dare think for a moment I'd leave you, because it's gonna take much more to get rid of me mister", I joke and he chuckles.

'I wouldn't dream of it", he answers. His voice dead serious and he stares deep into my eyes as if his trying very hard to convince himself if she stares hard enough, he'll be able to read the thoughts flooding my brain.

"You believe me right?", he asks nervously licking his lips waiting for an answer to leave my mouth.

"There's not a single doubt in my mind", I answer softly and his muscles softens under the sunlight.

"Let's go back", I say taking my hand in his as we enter the hospital again, finding our way to Hazel's room where we find Bethany talking to Hazel.

"What is she doing?!-", Blake's body tenses again his eyes filled with anger as he sees them.

I pull his arm and he snaps his head to look at me and I can clearly see his upset.

"She's her mother Blake, and Hazels needs her right now", I reason and he holds my gaze burning a hole through my skull as if he's having an internal battle with himself.

"I swore to myself I'll do anything to protect Hazel from her. She means nothing to her mother if she could just toss her out of her life like she did with Hazel. And I'm not going to allow it to happen again", his voice sounds strained, his nostrils flaring as he speaks.

"I don't want that woman near my child!", his words venom holding so much pain and anger towards Bethany.

"It's her child too", I state and his gaze falls to the ground balling his firsts.

"Look at me Blake!", I command forcing his eyes to look in mine, his eyes hold so many emotions I'm afraid he might explode.

"Delilah-", he starts and I place my finger on his lips like a school teacher telling kindergarten children to keep quiet.

"Bethany has already missed out so much in her daughters life. Just give her the opportunity to have the little time she has left with Hazel because we don't know how little time we actually have left. I'm sure Bethany came back because she's realised what she's done was wrong and we can't take it back. We're only human and sometimes we have to life with our mistakes. What she's done in already written in the universe and she's trying to make things right again. She's trying Blake, so let's just give her the change she desperately wants", I say and his body relaxes.

"She abandoned her Delilah", a tear escapes his eye and it pains me to see all the cracks that never healed, all the cracks that only widened since Bethany returned.

"I know I'm asking alot from you Blake", I say softly wiping his tears.

"But you have to let the pain go inorder to bring peace to yourself", my words slow and he wraps his arms tight around me.

I place a kiss on his forhead before standing up, not even realising that we were sitting on our knees on the floor.

"Stay here, I'll be right back", I say nodding my head at him and he nods back.

Slowly I walk into Hazel's room and I find her in a peaceful sleep and Bethany sitting with her hands covering her face as she sits beside Hazel's bed.

I hear snikers and Bethany looks at me with watery eyes. Her mascara dripping from her eyes as if her tears were black in colour, staining her cheeks.

"Bethany are you okay?", I ask and she slowly lifts up her head with red puffy eyes, she uses the inside of her elbow to wipe her tears but end up smudging her mascara all over her cheeks.

"Oh drop the innocent 'I care act' , no one cares about me and why should you?", she asks rather harshly as she wipes her eyes.

"I care because I know what if feels like to grow up without a mother, and while you're here I genuinely want you to be in Hazel's life. She's only a little girl and I'll never be able to fulfil that tiny little hole in her heart that she'll one-day realize only a mother can fill", I state remembering the little moments I was fortunate enough to share with my mother at Hazels age, and that memories I hold until my last breathe.

"You did this!", she shouts taking me surprise and I raise my eyebrows at her accusation.

"Excuse me?", I ask taken back.

"You took away my boyfriend, you took away my child and now you're acting like the sweet little fairy making me seem like the bad witch that came to steal our powers and snatch our little wings", she shouts steping angerly towards me and anger now fills my body and I ball my hands into fists, standing my ground by not moving an inch.

"First of all I did not take your boyfriend away, he brokeup with you way before he even asked me out, so he wasn't even yours to begin with and it's time for you to except that and let it go sweetheart. Secondly, I did not keep your daughter away from you I was simply just trying to be there for her when you abandoned her!", I spit anger flowing through my viens and I feel like my head was about to explode with all the invisible smoke escaping through my ears.

"And I have done nothing but try to convince Blake into letting you stay because I know Hazel needs you and you want to spend time with her, and Blake refused so many times to even face you because his holding onto so much anger and hurt because you hurt him so bad!", I shout and Bethany stares at me with wide eyes but I lower my voice as I notice Hazel steering in her bed about to wakeup.

"I am her mother, someone you'll never be!", she hisses and to be honest that hurt as tears threaten to spill my eyes but I refuse to show her my pain.

"You might be here biological mother, but Delilah had been more of a mother towards Hazel than you'll ever be", Blake hisses through gritted teetch as he steps in the room with anger flashing through his hazel eyes as he stares at her bitterly.

Blake wraps his arm around me as I stare at the ground with so many thoughts racing through my mind. How can Bethany be so selfish? How can someone be so ignorant when all I wanted to do was help her but yet she blames me for everything? Am I really such a horrible person as she says I am?

She stares at his grip around my waist and tears once again fall down her cheeks. I do feel bad for her but she needs to let this mess go and move on...for her.

Hazel wakes up climing from her princess Sofia bedcovers and Bethany steps towards her.

"Mommy's here Hazel", Bethany says to her, her voice suddenly sweet and Hazel looks at her nodding her head before looking at me holding out her arms.

"Dee is my mommy", she looks at me sleepily and in that moment, the moment the words escape Hazel's lips she breaks into a sob pushing around my body process as she makes a run for it.

I take a step forward but Blake firmly grips my arm and I turn to look at him.

"Let her go, it's for the best", he pleads and I nod my head before quickly slipping through his hold.

"I have to make sure she's okay" I answer with tears escaping my eyes.

"Delilah!", Blake's voice bounces off my back as I dash down the hall, outside to the parking area.

Air huffs through my chest by the time I get outside and see Bethany quickly starting her car, driving full speed ahead straight towards the large tree ahead.

"Bethany stop the car!", I shout running straight towards her. Adrenaline kicking in through my viens as I push my body to increase speed.

My lungs scream for oxygen and I feel it burn through my chest, I gasp for air but my legs continue pushing forward.

Without thinking the next thing I know I jump infront of the car, the sharp bright headlights the only thing I see and I close my eyes standing frozen with a racing heartbeat...waiting for what's to happen next.
