For Baltimore

Delilah~~
3 Weeks Later

It was fair to say that Alex and I were going strong. I was getting myself ready for a show when he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Have you gained weight?" He asked. I glared at him in the mirror.

"Don't ever ask someone that! And no, I haven't." I said as I finished up with my makeup.

"Sorry, baby. Love You." Alex said. A smile spread on my lips slowly.

"Love you too, Lex." I said, and I turned around in his arms and pecked his lips.

We exited the dressing room and made our way backstage, hand in hand, where I put my in ears on and practiced my vocals.

"You ready for a kickass show?" Sami asked. I smiled weakly at her. Ever since the accident at the club, I've felt uneasy talking to her. I don't know why, she wasn't there. I think a part of me knew who kissed me, I just wasn't telling myself.

"You look sick, everything alright?" She asked. I took a shaky breath.

"Yeah. I'm fine." I said. She sent me a look, telling me she didn't believe me, but she shut up. Five minutes later, I was rushing onstage after everyone else. I made my way to the microphone and smiled.

"How are you all doing tonight?" I asked. The crowd responded with screams.

"Alright then, we're Grim Winter, and this song is called Force." I said. My band started the song, and I felt chills up my spine. I managed through the song, already sweating, and I hadn't even walked across the stage twice. I took a breather, but couldn't catch my breath. I looked behind me and at Alex who was looking at me with a confused expression.

"I'll be right back." I said into the microphone, and made my way over.

"You alright?" Mitch asked.

"Honestly, no." I said.

"You can't finish the set, can you?" Alex asked. The guys were looking at me with worried expressions.

"I.. I don't know.." I said, my breathing finally slowing.

"Well, go back out there, and do a slower song and see how you feel. I'll talk to the others." Mitch said. I nodded and walked back out.

"Alright. I know it's quite early, but I'm changing the set up. We're gonna play Carolyn by Black Veil Brides." I said. I looked back to my band members and they were looking at me in confusion. They walked offstage, however, and Sami got her acoustic. We were both given stools, and I gratefully sat down.

"Alright. Sing along if you know the lyrics." I said. I looked at Sam and nodded, and she started playing. I felt queasy, as soon as she started playing.

"Those times in life we learn to try-"

I stopped singing and clamped a hand over my mouth, the feeling of needing to vomit settle over me. I got up and ran to the side stage, pushed past everyone and ran to the bathrooms. I entered the ladies room and pushed open a stall door, getting sick as soon as I placed myself in front of the surprisingly clean toilet. I was aware of the hands moving my hair out of my face, and the soothing 'shh' noise coming from their mouth. I knew it was Alex, and I couldn't be happier.

"Baby, did the illness come back? I thought you were better?" Alex asked. I was currently done being sick, but didn't turn to face him.

"I don't know! I felt fine earlier!" I said with a shaky voice. It was apparent I wasn't going to throw up again after five minutes of sitting there and hugging myself, so Alex stood me up and gently dragged me over to the sinks where I cleaned myself off and rinsed my mouth out. We both walked back and I saw my band and Alex's talking and looking worried.

"There you are!" Mitch said, catching everyone else's attention.

"I'm not continuing. I can't do it tonight." I said. They all nodded in agreement.

"What do we do then?" Sami asked.

"Let the guys play, and we'll figure everything out. Right now, she needs some rest and alone time. Sami, take her back to the bus." Mitch said.

"No.. No I can walk myself. I'm capable." I said. Alex looked grim, but kissed my cheek and nodded.

"Let her go by herself. Love you." Alex said.

"Love you too." l replied. Alex left my side and I sulked all the way back to the bus. Once there, I got in and headed for the bathroom, where I was deciding to go just to take a shower. What the fuck was wrong with me? Why did I feel the way I did? Was there something I didn't know?

I looked in the cabinets for some ibuprofen but all I found was a box that wasn't what I wanted. I closed the cabinet door and stripped myself of my clothes. That's when I noticed it. I reopened the cabinet door and looked in that box, pulled out whatever was inside, and used it.

~~~

"Delilah. Wake up." A soft voice cooed. I recognized it as Sami's. I opened my eyes and frowned at how dead tired I was. I sat up and then stood up, quickly changing into a purple flowy skirt and a loose black fancy shirt that complimented the skirt well. I slipped on a pair of flats and brushed my hair out, not bothering with makeup today. I walked off the bus in pursuit of finding Alex, wanting to talk to him.

"Oh my.." I heard a female voice softly moan. I scrunched my eyebrows up and looked around the corner of a bus, eyes widening a considerable amount.

I hesitated, "A-Alex?"

He turned around and stared at me in shock. I glared at Alex and his toy, Lisa.

"Oh you are so going to fucking pay for this!" I yelled at him, tears forming and streaming down my cheeks. I didn't move, just let him approach as Lisa scampered off. I folded my arms over my chest and stared at the ground in disbelief.

"Delilah.. I cannot explain that. She got the best of me and convinced me." He said.

"How do I know you're not just fucking lying?" I asked quietly, eyes still fixated on the same spot.

"Look at me." He sighed. I didn't. He went pick me up, but I stepped back, now looking at him.

"D-Don't pick me up." I said.

"You love to be picked up though." He countered.

"Just don't." I said.

"What's going on?" He asked.

"Other than the fact that you CHEATED on me!?" I asked, gradually raising my voice.

"Delilah.." He said.

"I don't think you should know." I said.

"Why?"

"Just drop it. I thought you were done with her, Alexander!" I said.

"I was!"

"LIAR!" I yelled as more tears streamed down my cheeks. I took a few steps back and unfolded my arms, only to wrap them around my own stomach, hugging myself as I cried.

"I'm not lying!"

"I thought you loved me! I thought... I thought wrong!" I said.

"I do love you!"

"Yeah? Well I love you too, okay? At least I actually fucking meant it!" I said.

"DELILAH!" Alex yelled, completely taking me off guard.

"I LOVE YOU, DELILAH. YOU'RE ALL I EVER THINK ABOUT! YOU'RE MY WORLD, AND I WANT TO SPEND MY LIFE WITH YOU. DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. SHE CAME ONTO ME. I WANT MARRY YOU ONE DAY, AND HAVE CHILDREN!" He yelled, and I just looked at him.

"How ironic." I replied.

"Whatdo you mean?" He asked.

"I'm pregnant, Alex!"
