"Don't know, hence the reason I asked you. Why not give his cell a ring, at least he could probably get your mind off some things." sighed Andy resting his head on the table and keeping the cig at a good distance from his clothes or the table, etc.

Delilah picked up the phone then, dialing his number hoping that he wouldn't be mad at her. She sat down as she waited for him to pick up and watched Andy.

Andy rested the still slightly smokeing cig into an ash tray before simply pressing his face into the table and silently sitting there hunched.
"Hey sweetie, what's up? Sorry, I left a while ago and I'm shopping. I'm getting some good food to. Most of it's pretty healthy and I asked Mitch if he needed anything but all he said was bottled water and the latest addition of Recipe monthly or whatever, got all that. Did you need anything? How's your medicine? Out of something? Need tea? What? I'll get you anything you need, anything at all, I need to make sure everyone's taken care of before, well...I'll talk to you about it tonight," Cast sounded jittery as hell.

"I think my medicine is out and Charlie came to visit me... he told me to do something but then Andy told me to call you and I'm really scared and there's someone staring in the window..." she had started mumbling that but she stopped when she heard the last part. She was going to get a surprise tonight and she wasn't quite sure what it was. She was slightly jittery also. "I'm scared of Charlie."

"Ok, I'll be home soon with your medicine and the groceries. I'll call again in a bit from the car, tell dad to watch you and stay with him, I love you, bye dear. I'll hurry."stated Cast hanging up so he could get there fast.
Andy's head was still on the table, "what'd he say?" muttered the man softly.

"You're supposed to watch me..." she said. "And Charlie says that you're really ugly and shouldn't smoke. He's not very nice. He told me that Cast hates me." She paused slightly as she considered those words and then sat down with an expression of frustration. Her insanity was overwhelming at this point and she did not want to deal with it.

Andy lifted his head, "well. I probably am ugly, and I shouldn't smoke. Cast doesn't hate you though. Hey Charlie, shut the ******** up. Delilah, please sit down near me, you can have my hand." he said, (when he said: "you can have my hand" he ment that she could hold it and squeeze when she needed to, etc.)

Delilah had taken a seat and smiled when he told Charlie to shut up. She was silent after that and took his hand in hers as a form of moral support. She was watching him now. "You're a good father-in-law," she said after a moment. "I didn't get... nearly this much support from my father... when he was alive." Charlie was speaking again and she cringed, tightening her grip on Andy's hand.

The man let his long and slender hand lay limp while she gripped it. "I try for all my kids as best I can, even the ones who are not of my blood. I can only do so much but I'll do my best, right now I'm hardly being a good father," he said staring at her tiredly, "your father cared. So did your mom. It's a meternal thing, someday when and if you have kids of your own, you'll understand. Then when they leave home, you'll cry, if or when they die...you'll die a little to. It's meternal, all of it. It's in everyone."

"You're a good father," she said after listening to what he was saying. He was silencing Charlie with his speaking. "Mitch is just going through a hard time." She had loosened her grip on his hand again and seemed to begin to relax.

"...yah...any idea what I can do, what I need to do? I just don't know how to help him or what exactly he's going through. Your way younger than me. What do you think this, ugly old man should do?" he said the 'ugly old man' part mainly for Charlie. Mentally flicking off the skitzophrenic figure who Delilah had created and called him old.

"Melissa says that they are probably lonely and just need to be cared for in any way possible," Delilah said softly. "She's the scary girl that is Charlie's daughter. She doesn't think that you're old though." She was talking in a childish manenr now as if she needed to do something.

"Alright, well. I'm pretty old in my book,"he chuckled, "about 40 years old or a bit younger. Lost track of my age," he patted her shoulder, "your a good young woman. Glad you married my son. Wish Amelia and Kyoya could have had more time."

"Oh god..." Delilah said. "I have no idea where Amelia is right now." She looked upset now and she could hear Charlie laughing at her. "I am so not like that." She had yelled at that point with a tinge of frustration.
Amelia was at the park at this point, stoned as hell, and sitting on the swing. She was planning to go home today, at least for a while, but wasn't quite sure if she would.

"She's a big girl now Delilah, you have to just live with her coming and going. You have no choice, plus she'll come back...problem is you don't know how she'll come back." he ment it as an, 'how she'll come back, as/in thing'. He was frowning, "stay calm."
