Part 23
Roy's Point of View
After Delilah leaves I go upstairs to my princess. "Baby, what's going on?!" I say as I walk in our room to see Courtney packing her things. "Don't you "baby" me! I can't even right now!" She says turning to continue her packing. "What happened?!" I ask with sadness in my voice on the verge of tears again. "You happened!" She says harshly not even turning to look at me. "What did I do?!" I ask just above a whisper and for a minute Courtney stops packing her things. "If you don't know neither do I!" She says resuming her packing. "Let me fix it!" I say. "Don't bother!" She says as she puts her last shirt into her suitcase and zips it up. She storms past me and heads down the stairs and out to her car. "I won't let you leave me again!" I say tears once again streaming down my face and for a second I see a pang of guilt flash through her eyes. Then just as quickly as it came, it disappears as she gets into her car and locks the doors. And I stand there and cry as I watch her drive away.

Delilah's Point of View
3 weeks later
"Daddy you have to eat something!" I exclaim as once again Roy refuses to eat. He's depressed about Courtney and it's making him weak. He won't eat, won't get out of bed, it's tearing him apart. I leave the bowl of soup on the nightstand next to him in hopes that he'll eat it and leave the room. I can't take it anymore! I'm calling Shane!
On the phone
S-"Hello"
D-"Where are you?!"
S-"Why do you care?!"
D-"I don't, but Roy is sick out of his brains and depressed! Has been for the past three weeks, because you left him! He won't get out of bed, he refuses to eat! He's been at my house practically dying for the past three weeks!" *Trying not to cry*
S-"Are you serious?!"
D-"Would I play about something like this?!"
S-"No, I suppose not! Where is he?!"
D-"He's at my house!"
S-"I'm on my way! Don't tell him though!"
D-"Whatever, but you better haul ass over here cause if don't show up I'm gonna find you and drag you back here by your tongue!" *hangs up*
That went easier than I thought it would! I imagined yelling and fighting and pleading for him to come back! But I'm desperate, I need Roy to get better! I hear the doorbell.
Wow that was quick! I think to myself.
Shane's Point of View
I get in Delilah's house and she takes me to Roy's room. "I'll leave you here!" She says turning and leaving. I walk into the room to see Roy laying in the bed, a bowl of soup at his bedside, the curtains closed blocking out all sunlight, the room isn't dark but it isn't bright either. "Daddy?!" I whisper tears forming in my eye's as I step toward his bedside. I sit next to his bed and just look at him. He's thinner, and pale. I reach out and touch his cheek to find that it's cold. "Oh daddy what have I done to you?!" I say sobbing. I wipe my tears away and grab the bowl of soup on the nightstand. "Daddy, can you eat for me? Please!" I say. He vaguely nods his head. I feed him the soup, spoon by spoon and slowly he starts to eat it. When it's gone I set the bowl down and see that some of the color has returned to his complexion. I climb into the bed next to him and hold him by his waist. I feel his arms wrap around me as I bury myself into his chest. "Daddy I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you!" I say wiping away a few stray tears. "It's okay love!" He barely whispers. "No it's not! Look at all the hell I've put you through!" I say. "Have you gotten any sleep?!" I ask him. He shakes his head. "Come on, you need your rest! I'll sleep here with you okay?!" I say. "Okay." He agree's. I kiss his chin and whisper, "I love you daddy!" to him. "I love you too princess!" He says as we both doze off to sleep.
I wake you and carefully unwrap myself from Roy's arms and grab the bowl and go downstairs. "Good evening!" RuPaul says looking up from his newspaper. "It's only afternoon?!" I ask. "Well you slept yesterday away, so yes, I suppose so!" He says. "I'm going up to see Roy!" Delilah says but I stop her. "No, he needs his rest!" I say. "Okay, I understand!" She says backing down. "Do you guys have any tomato soup! It's daddy's favorite and I want him to have something to eat when he wakes up!" I ask Delilah. "Yeah sure! Does he like grilled cheese with it?!" She asks me. I nod. "Okay, I'll make it and bring it upstairs!" Delilah tells me. "Okay, great!" I say heading back up the stairs. I see that Roy is now awake. "Good evening daddy!" I say kissing his head. "Do you have to go to the restroom?" I ask him. And he nods his head. "Come on!" I say hoisting him up and into my arms. I help him over to the bathroom. "Can you do it?" I ask him. He nods and walks feebly into the bathroom and shuts the door behind him. A couple minutes later he comes out and I'm waiting on him with his food. I help him back over to the bed and we start to eat. After we eat we take shower's and I decide to take Roy downstairs to watch television. We come downstairs and everybody's so excited to see Roy out of the bed. Me and him lay across the couch as we watch reruns of "Golden Girls"! We decide to stay downstairs and have dinner with Delilah and RuPaul. I help Roy eat and we say our good nights and head upstairs to bed.
Love to you all!~BA
