She Doesn T Care

Delphi's POV

I was still quite stunned by the diary to have considered anything more. It was unmistakeably a child's handwriting.

I didn't have the strength to go ahead and read any more entries, probably because I feared what more it could contain. Perhaps it had the ability to melt my heart or worse, find a reason to forgive him.

Young Sylvester as noticed, held quite the passion for his future mate, even though that may seem a little weird at some points in the day, it was sweet.
The diary would unfold a lot of secrets that I was not prepared for, and I had no idea how to prepare for either. But when I do, I'll make sure to give credit to every word.

"Hey, Delphi!" I heard someone call out my name just as I entered the library.

"Hey, Vince. What's going on?" I recognised the face immediately and frowned at the nervous expression etched on it.

"I was just wondering, I mean, you're a girl," I gave him a confused look, I did not like where he was going with the conversation. .
"What are you trying to say?" I questioned him walking around the shelf to come face to face with him.

"I was wondering if you'd like to go grab a bite some time?" He asked looking up this time with hope shinning in his eyes and a little bit of something else. I was stunned at his proposal, I wasn't ever the girl to ask out as I often refused and of course, the emotional baggage I carried was a big red flag. Even though now I didn't have any commitments I knew it would be unfair to pull Vince into the trouble I was dealing with.

"Look, Vince. I'm sorry-" I started but was cut off by his childish rambling.

"Yeah, I get it, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have even asked you, what was I thinking? I didn't mean to, er, make you uncomfortable, you do understand, right? Oh god, I shouldn't have," If I wasn't so distracted, I would've noticed the slight shift in his eyes.

"Vince, Vince." I waved my hand in front of his eyes to grab his attention.

"I'm sorry but I'm just not that kind of a person who goes on dates. Besides, you have a mate somewhere out there, don't let her get away." I whispered the last part as I imparted the knowledge that someone should've given to my mate.

"Are you alright?" He asked me softly forgetting the moment of embarrassment.

"Yes, yes. I'm fine. I hope you understand, Vince. I'm not in a place where I can let loose." Saying those words, I left, I had enough drama in my life already, adding some more would be catastrophic.

The time spent in the library I thought on how I would approach my parents and apologise for my behaviour in the past few months.
My mind often wondered off to the black diary lying in my car seat and the grey-eyed man who gave it to me.

Keeping my daydreaming on check, I kept serving customers with different ideas on books and how to borrow them. While I was leaving I caught a sight of Vince sitting behind the reception counter and reading a newspaper.

"Isn't it a little too late to read a newspaper?" I joked.
"No judging. I like to be up to date, thank you very much." He spoke with his nose held high making me laugh even more.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Vince. Take care." I smiled one last time and opened the library door exit.
"You too, Delphi." I had heard him whisper behind me.

The cold breeze blew past me and I felt a shiver run down my spine.
I hurried to the heat of the car and started the engine.

The late evening's moonlight shined on the object beside me on the passengers seat drew my attention. I debated for a minute, flipping through another page shouldn't do me much harm, I decided.

3rd March 2010
Dear Diary,


Today was the most marvelous day I've come to experience. I just finished witnessing two mates meeting for the first time. The love in their eyes. I hadn't known them personally but I knew them enough to see how perfect they were for each other.
I can't wait for that moment to come for my mate and I. I hope to meet her soon and feel the same way. 
Over and out.


Sylvester.

I sat, stunned once again at the brutal honesty of a fourteen year old boy. The different emotions making a whirl wind in my mind. I drove back home with my heart still wondering what it's missing and my mind still considering the pros and cons.

This was a big step, though till now it's just mindless gushing. I knew soon the dark side of the story would prevail. He was already in love with the mate he had made up in his mind. That could never be a smart decision.
I shook the unwanted thoughts away and focused on what was to come ahead.

I was both, looking forward and not looking forward to the talk with my parents.
I knew I had to explain it to them but the humiliation of being a failed younger child was still on my shoulders.

The streets were quite when I reached home, only the sounds of crickets filled the deafening silence.
I unlocked the door of my house with the key and saw both my parents sharing a casual evening.

"Hi, mom-dad." I spoke putting my keys on the counter to the side.
They turned to face me immediately after hearing my greeting.

"Delphi." Mom gasped getting out of her sitting position and making her way towards me. Dad had concern plastered across his face.

"I wanted to talk to you both." I stated in a small voice and sat on the sofa opposite to theirs.
"What is it, Delphi?" My dad's worried voice was making me even more nervous. I hoped what I would say next would make it better.

"I just wanted to apologise for everything." I paused seeing their reaction and was about to continue when mom started speaking.
"Delphi, you don't-"

"Yes, mom. I do. Everything has been going haywire since the last couple of months and I've made it hard for both of you, for which I am really sorry. None of it was intentional." I fiddled with my fingers trying to keep my voice for wavering.

"I know Ethan's death has affected all of us gravely and I'm sorry for assuming it affected me the most. I love you guys and I-I sincerely hope you both will forgive me." Some where during my apology tears had started streaming down my face. It was always hard to talk about Ethan's death.

"Oh, Delphi. Please don't say that. We understand, and it isn't your fault at all. You were perfectly right in your place." Mom said beckoning me closer. She hugged me closed to her. I welcomed the motherly comfort that I had missed unknowingly.

"I'm just sorry, mom-dad." I whispered into my mom's shoulder.
I felt dad wrap his hands around all of us and mumble an 'It's okay'.

"And here I thought I was a part of this family." Scott commented overdramatically. Making all of us laugh through our tears.

We motioned for him to join us and made a happy family circle. It missed one person, but there was only one way to fill that gap and it was with memories.
"Delphi, we need to talk to you. And we need for you to have an open mind." I nodded at Scott's words foreseeing this much before.
We all separated wiping, well, mom and I wiping our eyes out in the open whereas the men of the family doing that subtly.

"I know what Sylvester did was unacceptable but he's trying, isn't he?" Mom spoke first out of the anxious looking family members.

"We aren't telling you to forgive him, no. Just give him a chance to atleast prove himself." Dad added meaningfully.

"I already have." I whispered back.
"What?" All three of them asked together, their eyes widening at the one eighty change in my attitude.
"I already have given him a chance though I'm not too keen on it. I know he's my mate and I'd end up giving in at some point in time, I just want to be sure that I'm not giving into something worthless." I spoke hesitantly, some of my words were influenced by the diary my mate so thoughtfully had sent to me.

I left the flabbergasted audience and went to my room, the feeling of lying on the comfort of your bed is irreplaceable.

The weight of today's occurrences weighed my eyes down.
The end of the day had greeted me with silence and five familiar figures haunting my dreams once again.

"We'll come for you" They all chanted together making me shiver.

They will never leave my nightmares. The same people who murdered my support.

The culprits of my Ethan's demise.
