Hello world and my wonderful readers! My birthday check arrived in the mail today so I decided to post another chapter! The next one will be longer I promise!
I've been obsessed with the song "She Looks So Perfect" and I thought it was exactly that-perfect- for Billy and Delilah! Her feelings are very conflicted, Lizzie didn't help, either. I had fun with Billy's background, making it seem like they were both kind of known to the public.
Also, I know a lot of you don't like the sudden change in Delilah's demeanor, but she has a chemical imbalance and emotionally disturbed. She made a VERY huge AND selfless sacrifice for the sake of the twins by allowing Billy and Christine to stay at Jellbany, her sister and the love of her life that deceived her, Billy was practically dragged into it. Naturally, Delilah is going to be feeling and acting very confused and angry and discombobulated. I know I would! Oh and Billy being hit has turned into a running gag, which is why I included it. First Delilah, then Madison, then Carl, now Daryl, I have a feeling Rick will be next.
I have posted a compiled picture of all my original characters on Instagram, along with Delilah and Billy's rings, the former of which I designed, so now you can perfectly envision them! The links are on my profile. Let me know what you think in the reviews and follow me on Instagram! =)

Chapter Forty Eight: Clashed
"Hold on, Christine." Lizzie had a menacing smirk on her face as she watched Mika cower. "You don't tell me what to do, got it? Delilah needs to be taught a lesson, and Billy. If you get in my way, I'll be sure to be teaching you a lesson that you'll never forget."

"I'm gonna take off, but I'll catch ya around, Abe." Avery said with a salacious smile.
He smirked. "Oh, you most certainly will." Abraham knew this babe was totally hot for him and already started planning out his move.
Avery nodded at the others. "Nice meeting you all." She turned and walked off towards Inventory Range.
"I'm gonna head back also, see ya later." Daryl said, and did one of those dude clasped hand high fives with Abraham. "Nice punch, man."
"I'm going to go also. Glad to have met you all. Bye, Rosita." Tara smiled and waved as she walked off with Daryl.
"Bye." Rosita was filled with a warm feeling, and she hoped it would only continue to grow.
Delilah turned to Billy. "You sure you're ok, Bill?"
He nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. He's right, that's what I get."
"Well, so long as you admit it, then we're cool." Abraham wasn't sure what to make of the miserable young man, but at least he didn't seem scared. He took a closer look at Billy and raised a curious eyebrow. "Wait, did you say your last name was Steverson?"
Delilah looked over and saw Lizzie cornering Mika and Christine just standing there watching. "Oh, fuck."
"Huh?" Rick looked over at her, as did the others.
"Hey! Stop it!" Delilah stormed over the instant she saw Lizzie shove Mika. She felt her blood boiling as she got closer and saw Mika on the ground with Christine trying to pull Lizzie away.
"Lizzie, let's go, it's not worth it."
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!" Delilah shouted as everybody trailed behind her.
"None of your business, Delilah." Lizzie still had that uppity glare on her face that was just waiting to be smacked right off.
"Delilah, don't worry. I've got this taken care of, just go back with the group." Christine tried to reason with her, but it wasn't working.
"It is too my business, this is my place! You didn't take care of it soon enough, you can't take care of anything at all!" Delilah shouted in Christine's face before looking back at Lizzie, who was now smirking. "You better wipe that smirk off your face, little girl, I am sick and tired of you walking around like you're so much smarter and better than everybody and thinking that you can get away with whatever you want."
"I'm not smirking, I'm excited to see you. Your hair looks so pretty today, Delilah." This kid was truly demented.
"Don't bullshit a bullshiter, Lizzie. You have been told repeatedly to be more respectful to the other kids and to stop tormenting your sister! That's your blood right there, you're supposed to protect her, not push her around."
She watched the little girl shrug. "Why? You try to push yours around."
Delilah hadn't even noticed that the others were behind her or that Mika had ran off, she was too infuriated. "Apples and oranges, kid. I'm in charge, it's what I say goes! You know what you are, Lizzie? You're a bad seed, and I am fed up with your behavior! For your sake, I hope you learn the error of your ways before it's too late."
"I don't have to do what you tell, you stupid whore bitch."
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!"
Everybody was speechless and had no idea what to say. Madison was about to speak when Carol pushed open the door and ran outside.
"Hey, hey, hey! I heard the shouting all the way from upstairs! What's going on out here?"
The timing couldn't have been better. If there was anybody that could get through to Lizzie, it was Carol. Delilah looked over at her. "You need to sit Lizzie down and have a long talk with her about respecting elders and not calling them stupid whore bitches as well as not assaulting her sister both verbally and physically."
Carol's eyes widened and she looked over at Lizzie, utterly shocked. "Lizzie! Why would you say such a thing to Delilah? You can't talk to your elders like that, you have to respect them. Delilah has done a lot for all of us. You need to apologize to her right now."
"But Carol!" Lizzie tried to pull off puppy dog eyes.
Carol shook her head. "Lizzie, no. Apologize."
Lizzie sighed. "Yes, M'am." The pre-teen turned to Delilah. "Delilah, I'm sorry I was disrespectful. I promise I'll try harder to be good."
Delilah wanted to roll her eyes, she had hit the nail on the head with The Bad Seed comparison. Lizzie personified Rhoda, the main antagonist in the play and it's following film adaptation who pulled off a striking façade of the perfect little girl but was really a murderous demon child. Everybody else was able to sense she wasn't entirely genuine either. "Yeah, thanks." She looked around. "Where's Mika?"
Christine shrugged. "I don't know, she ran off."
"I'll go look for her." Carol said before turning to Lizzie. "You need to apologize to her also." She guided her away as Christine followed.
"Thanks, Carol."
She turned around and smiled at Delilah. "Anytime." Carol had really impressed Delilah in the past week. She had proven to be very helpful and considerate, it might just work out for her at Jellbany.
Delilah huffed, exasperated, as soon as they were gone. She pulled herself together and faced the others. "Sorry about that. What were you saying, Abe?"
They were still stunned over the scene they had witnessed and it took a few seconds for them to pick up where they left off. "Oh, I was asking if I heard Billy correctly when he said his last name was Steverson."
Billy hesitated before answering. "Yes, it is." They all watched Abraham smirk once again.
"Tits on toast! I know who you are! You're The Governor's boy!" He pointed at Billy.
Rick looked over at Delilah. "He's what?" His mind couldn't help but start racing, even though there was no way he was talking about Phillip.
Delilah shook her head. "Not that one." She squeezed his shoulder and smiled warmly. "Relax, babe. There's nothing to worry about." Delilah leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek, which seemed to put him at ease. Maybe the old Delilah really was coming back around.
Billy chuckled uncomfortably, both over the recognition and Delilah's sudden public display of affection towards Rick. "Yes, that's me. I'm the youngest of eight." He shoved his hands in the pockets of his jeans, a sign that Delilah was familiar with whenever he felt awkward or uncomfortable.
Abraham nodded. "Yeah, I remember now from the elections. I voted for your dad, he was a good man and politician. That mama of yours was a smoking hottie, too, but I know you from somewhere else."
"Yes, he was, and my mom was quite a looker. My sisters Brooke and Kayla looked the most like her. I just have one of those familiar faces, I guess."
Rosita looked more closely at him. "I see it, too. Weren't you on MTV before? You sang that song, right?"
""She Looks So Perfect"." Delilah answered and couldn't help but smile.
He slowly nodded. "Yes, that was me." Billy seemed a little embarrassed.
After touring around the United States for almost five years, first as Led Monkey and then Delilah's Ass, the band finally got a mainstream break when they performed at Wango Tango after winning a competition, which was an upgrade from the underground rock scene fame they had already achieved. Delilah's Ass had released their first single entitled "She Looks So Perfect", in the summer of 2010 under Capitol Records, right after filming of American Ninja Warrior had wrapped. Billy had written the song for Delilah as a present for their one year anniversary, and she encouraged him to add it to the band's song list for their shows. Naturally, once they were picked up, the song followed with Delilah being in the music video as Billy's love interest. The song had been a big hit overseas while receiving mixed reviews in the states despite constant airplay, but the video received sixty five million views on YouTube. Capitol Records had wanted to change the name of Delilah's Ass to Delilah's Closet and morph them into some bubble gum pop boy band, which was the last thing Billy wanted, and he walked. It had already been a big enough fight to get creative control of the music video, but he figured that since the group had a rather large following, they would get another offer in no time. Sadly, they didn't. Billy's departure kind of screwed over the rest of his band mates, and therefore, they were a one hit wonder. That was when Billy's depression began and he started taking the Effexor.
Every once in a while, when they realized he wasn't Chace Crawford, people would recognize Billy for a number of reasons. In L.A., it was for the music video, the underground music scene, or Wango Tango. In Texas, it was for appearing by his dad's side on stage during the election. Sometimes, it was for American Ninja Warrior or the modeling gigs he did. Billy had dabbled in modeling on and off since he was a teenager. Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister, Lacoste, Nike, Adidas, Levi's, Guess, Rock & Republic, Calvin Klein underwear ads, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce and Gabanna Light Blue cologne, mostly print work with a few commercials and runway shows, but he had also been recognized whenever he appeared somewhere with Delilah. Apart from a brief appearance in the Barbra Walters interview, Delilah had arranged it so Billy would have a cameo in whatever project she did, which helped them both get qualified for the Screen Actors Guild and obtain the coveted SAG cards. He didn't expect anybody to know who he was in this new world. Things like that were insignificant now.
"That's my song." Delilah said and turned to Billy, still smiling. "He wrote it for me." Even though she was so conflicted, she couldn't help but smile over the good times.
"One of many. Hell, I know I could fill up a whole anthology with all the songs I've written for you, Tiger Lily." Billy couldn't help but return the smile, the nostalgia adding on to Rick's paranoia. Everybody around them noticed, it was like the two of them were off in their own little world.
"That's the truth, but I still think that you guys should have gone with "My Heart is Yours" instead of "She Looks So Perfect" for the first single. Your piano playing always seemed underappreciated by the band. It wouldn't have been like that if I had stuck around, it was such a blast performing, especially the duets. Remember when we did "Elephant Love Medley" from Moulin Rogue! at the caburlesque event?"
"You're right, it should have and you should have. I do remember. You always had a little bit of a rocker chick in you."
They were definitely having a moment, but Rick was grateful for Eugene's sudden interruption.
"I remember now, too. The girls at the high school were always singing along to it, I even saw a few with your band's picture on their binders."
"That's really sweet, it's a good song." Rosita said.
"What can I say? Delilah's my muse." Delilah couldn't help but blush and she looked down. Here was Rosita, who was practically sex on a stick, even Delilah thought she was a hottie, and Billy didn't even take a second glance at her. He was too fixated on Delilah.
Why am I feeling like this, what the hell is wrong with me? I love Rick, Billy is my past!
Delilah's so hard to read. One minute, she's kind and bashful, the next she's strict and demanding. I can't tell, does she still feel something, too? If I could only get her alone to talk to me so I could know for once and for all.
What both of them failed to see was Rick's discomfort that was apparent to everybody else.
This was all getting to be too much for Rick, Madison could tell. "Alrighty, gang! Why don't we give these newbies a tour, hmm?" She grabbed Delilah by the arm and walked off, which shook her out of the daze she had been lost in. The trio said good bye to Billy, who stood back and watched them leave. Rick didn't even bother looking behind him, because if he did, all he would see was red.
CAROL AND MADISON SAVED THE DAY! AGAIN, I THINK RICK IS STARTING TO GET BOTH PERTURBED AND PARANOID OVER DELILAH AND BILLY. WHAT IS THE SECRET LIZZIE IS HIDING?
