Declan leaned his head back against the wall, his eyes resting on the person who stood before him. He did his best to offer her a smile, but failed halfway through and just formed his lips back into a straight line. “Yeah I’m good. Just have some stuff on my mind,” he told her, knowing that in a place like this it shouldn’t be too out of the ordinary. “You don’t have to sit with me if you have places to be. I’ll be fine.”

Delilah smirked as she shifted into a more comfortable position against the wall. “Where am I gonna go in here?” She offered, sarcastically. “Wanna talk? Or is that weird to just open your heart up to a stranger? I can tell you a bit about me if that’ll make you feel more comfortable.” Delilah had a habit for just sort of pushing her way into peoples lives, how they reacted often told her whether it was worth getting to know them or not.

Declan sat on the floor just outside his room, with his head resting in his hands. He had been dragged out and told he needed to at least try and socialize with other people. After walking down the end of the hallway with him, the nurse who had been with him was dragged away to settle a conflict between two patients and Declan was left on his own. He decided to sit outside his room; figuring it was close enough to run back in if he needed to but also somewhere where it looked like he was at least trying to do what the nurse had asked of him. Hearing foot steps making their way down the hall, Declan slowly lifted his head to look at the person who was approaching him.

Delilah was slowly ambling her way down the halls, trying to find anything to do beside hide out in her room. Therapy had been a mess, her room offered nothing but loneliness and she’d struggled to make any friends that were willing to spend time with her. On her travels the brunette spotted the sad man leaning against the wall, she felt a slight connection with him despite them being complete strangers to one another, she felt compelled to help. Silently, Delilah slipped down the wall, sitting in a crossed legged position beside him. “You okay?”

alexandermwolfe:

“Probably not, I’m a very specific type.”.  He chuckled to himself, having fun knowing what he meant. “That’s what I thought. People who have been here longer don’t snap like that too much. Not about staring.”

Delilah shrugged, “Why? The longer you stay here the more like a drone you become?” The brunette questioned, little things had always irked her ever since a young age and she couldn’t see that issue ever being resolved.

apollotudor:

“I’m happy because I’ll be outta here in like a week and it gives me time to relax away from my family and friends who honestly bother the fuck outta me sometimes.”

“What makes you think you’ll be out of here so soon?”

[delilah-flowers]

defianttorid:

Torid raised an eyebrow at the strangers sudden outburst. Had she been looking at the other? She couldn’t even remember; she possibly just spaced out, as it was always a boring day in Glendale. “Nah, she didn’t actually. Nobody did. That’s whatcha get with no mama.”

Maybe someone who was more in touch with their emotional side would’ve reeled the anger in after learning this girl had no mother but instead Delilah just rolled her eyes. “No excuse, manners are easily picked up.”

trcyknight:

Troy tried his best not to roll his eyes too much. This girl was being helped and yet she had the gall to act like a brat infront of a staff member. People like her made Troy rethink his decisions, why he was here in the first place. He didn’t flinch when she snapped at him and instead rummaged through his pocket incase handcuffs were necessary. “Did your mother never teach you it’s awfully rude to yell at staff?” He sneered. “Do it again, snap. Let’s how solitary is going to taste on your first day.”

Delilah readjusted her stance, moving her weight onto her left hip as she crossed her arms and dramatically rolled her eyes. “Fuck you..” She muttered under her breath. “You’ll put me in solitary for a bad temper? Don’t see how that’s productive.” The girl had always been the argumentative type but something about this mans demeanour was enticing, it excited her to see how far she could push it without landing herself in too much trouble.

alecelliot:

Alec was a bit shaken by the girl’s sudden outburst. He hadn’t even realized he was staring until the brunette’s eyebrows furrowed and she rebuked him loudly. “Shit- Sorry!” Alec exclaimed, holding up a hand in both apology and defense. “I didn’t mean to stare. Was just zoning out I think and you were there and you were alright to look at so…” Shit, that came out weird. “I mean, not that I picked you to stare at… Shit.”

Watching the man fumble over his words was somewhat... endearing. It also made Delilah feel quite proud of herself for startling the man. “Of course I’m alright to look at, calm yourself, it’s fine.” She tried to put a cap on her anger because it wasn’t like she got joy from watching others stressed.. maybe in a different scenario but not like this.

gavxshep:

If he’d been looking at the girl at all, Gavin had been looking through her. He could scarcely remember, his focus a shambles even before he’d been “voluntarily” committed, and he assumed she must be right about the staring. “Apologies,” he offered, barely lifting a hand as if to begin a shrug that never quite happened. “I didn’t realize you were there.” And he hadn’t - Gavin had been certain he was sitting alone before her outburst.

Delilahs brows knotted in confusion, sure she was no stranger to spacing out but she’d never been completely oblivious to another presence in the room. “I think you need your eyes checking, man.” It was meant in a slightly more relaxed and teasing way as the corner of her lip pulled into a slight smirk but a frown still remained on her features.

jared-lee:

Jared didn’t want to use force, it was never fun. He couldn’t help it though, because she obviously wasn’t listening to reason. Jared le tout a patient sigh. “You don’t think you need to be here, though you are here no matter that. So it would be to your advantage to just follow along. It’d really be in your favour.”

“I don’t think, I know.” Delilah corrected then cleared her throat and crossed her arms over her chest, somewhat resembling a pouty teenager. “What’s in it for me?” She asked, cocking her head to one side. “Think carefully, your answer might effect our entire patient to therapist relationship.” A sarcastic and joking tone intertwined with her words as she waited patiently for his answer. 

[delilah-flowers]

jared-lee

“Hey.” Jared furrowed his brows. He was sure he at least wasn’t staring but just looking as he tried to find the patient who he had a meeting with - now obvious he’d spotted her. “Wasn’t staring. Was just coming to invite you to an intake in my office.”

Delilah shook her head. “I’m not going anywhere with you. I have no reason to trust you.” She had her back up and was in a very defensive mood, “And anyway, I don’t need to be here.” 

[delilah-flowers]

alexandermwolfe:

Alex shrugged “I mean, you’re pretty, but I have a feeling you’re not my type.” He answered, still being honest. “I saw someone I didn’t recognize, so I looked.” He told her. He hadn’t recognized everyone since he’d been back, knowing new people had arrived since he’d been gone, but he wasn’t sure if she had already been residing or if this was her first few days.”

Delilah shrugged, “I have a feeling your not my type either.” The woman appreciated honesty and a least he spoke the truth. “I’m new. Literally like a brand new baby.” She joked in a sarcastic tone, but it only threw her thoughts back into a bitterness about her admission. “It’s a joy...”

[delilah-flowers]

alexandermwolfe:

Alex was used to people snapping at him, people yelling about staring or some other arbitrary thing. He rolled his eyes slightly when she posed the question. “Glancing isn’t staring. But, no, she didn’t.” He responded, being truthful but not revealing for once. 

Delilah crossed her arms over her chest and her sneer turned into a taunting raised eyebrow. “Why? See something you like?” The anger still bubbled under the surface but it was more fun to taunt and tease then get into a fight. 

[delilah-flowers]

apollotudor:

“Well you don’t have to be pissy about it babe. Whats got you all pissy?” Apollo asked, not really caring, but the woman has reacted so rudely how could he not react the same way.

“Being here.” Delilah answered simply, shrugging her shoulders as she crossed her arms over her chest in a defensive manner. “How can you feel so jolly about being here?” The anger moulded into a sadness quickly, leaving her to get momentarily lost in her thoughts. 

[delilah-flowers]

"What are you looking at?" Delilah snapped, glaring at the individual in the room. "It's rude to stare, did your mama never teach you any manners?" The brunette wasn't usually this snappy but she had a bee in her bonnet about being dumped at Glendale, as if it was her own fault. Her estranged father was the culprit for the majority of Delilahs troubles-- not that her mother would ever admit that. The young woman’s release of emotions often meant unloading them onto strangers in several ways, currently anger was at the forefront of her outburst and she didn’t care who it was directed at.

[apollotudor]

“So this is Glendale..wow it sure is..something. Are you the welcoming committee then?”

[delilah-flowers]

Delilah was still a little dazed and groggy after her admissions process and the anti-anxiety medication they’d given her to calm her upon arrival. She’d attempted to sleep off the grogginess, curled up in a cozy spot of the common area, but it only left an unpleasant warming sensation to build from the pit of her stomach up to her throat and leave her even more confused than before and now this bubbly gentleman had appeared before her. “I really don’t think so, considering I’ve been here less than 5 hours.”
