love is underrated.

Chapter Ninety-Nine.

Daisy's POV

I looked at Chase as he was over top of Payton plowing fists into his face. I knew something like this would happen I just couldn't sit by in the car and let them get to this point. I was late of course. "Hit me. Come on!" Chase shouted right in Payton's face. I stood at the door shocked at what was happening before my eyes. Chase was always so calm. I had never seen something get to him like this. "Chase!" I exclaimed pushing past him trying to pull him off Payton. "Get off him." He finally fell back. As he looked into my eyes I saw his whole emotion change. He looked so disappointed in himself. This was the last think I ever wanted to happen. I ran over to Payton checking him over to see if he was okay. Wiping the blood from his lip with the sleeve of my shirt. I put his head in my lap and tried to calm him down. I couldn't even look at Chase right now. 

After Payton was cleaned up I sat on the couch, all three of us in silence. I told Clare to leave and she wasn't needed any longer. "Daisy." Payton broke the silence looking up at me. "What?" I snapped. I had just about had enough of this day. "Should we not talk about this?" He shook his head in denial. I let out a sigh and nodded in agreement the quicker I got this over with the better. I hated how as soon as he comes around everything just slips back to normal so easily. Apart from this time it wasn't so easy. Chase and I were in a good place. Not the most conventional but it worked for us. "Chase do you mind, just for a second." I smiled at him as his face was stained with tears. I knew he didn't handle things like this so easily and I wouldn't like to know what he's thinking right now. I know he's going to hate me for all of this. 

Once Chase left it tool a while for Payton and I to actually get talking. "Well I've never had deja vu like I did tonight." He laughed breaking the silence. I looked at him confused for a second and then I remembered. I laughed thinking about the night Jaden and Payton fought at the house. Which was a also my fault. "It was funny to see Jaden's face when I kissed you like that." I giggled remember that night and what happened after. "That was a good night." He smirked nervously rubbing the back of his neck. "I don't remember it too well, it was nearly four years ago now. I can't believe were all in out early twenties now." I lied not wanting him to know how often I have thought about our past since he arrived. "I also remember that night you saying how gross it would be if you were with Chase." He stated. "I think you exact words were 'God no' and 'eww' that changed."He sounded hurt and I just didn't know what to say. I wanted to comfort him. I wanted to run into Chase's room. I wanted Payton to leave. I wanted Payton to stay. My mind was so shot in this moment.  As we sat close on the couch I could feel Payton's body temperature getting closer to me. His lips touched mine. He kissed me fore a second before my hands pushed back against his chest aggressively. "What the fuck!" I wiped my lips. 

Almost angry at the whole situation the more I thought about it. "You're the one that left. We could have been happy. I don't know if I can love you any more." I stated as I watch it hurt him. "You get too jealous and after all the years that still hasn't changed." I added. "Jealous," He scoffed. "I'm not jealous, just over-protective." He rolled his eyes. "You have no right to be overprotective. How can you be protective over me when you havent bothered until now." I was over all of this. He was getting under my skin again. The way he looked at me I missed it so much but thinking about everything how is this good for both of us. "Because I will always be yours." He said sadly. "But you're not mine, not anymore. You made sure of that yourself. Chase was right." I saw his face drop. "Well aren't you to the sweetest couple." He said sarcastically. "We aren't together, but it's a whole lot better that what being with you was." I said making sure to hurt him. I got up and walked away to Chase room. 

"He's just so horrible, I've ruined everything." I sobbed slamming the door behind me. Chase ran over placing his arms around my shoulders. "You haven't done anything wrong. It's my fault I'm  sorry." He said lightly. I couldn't believe he wasn't mad at me. "He kissed me. Who the fuck does he think he is." I snarled through my tears. "He what?" Chase raised his voice heading to the door. "Please no, not again." I stood in the way and he eventually stopped trying to get me out of the way. "We will just stay in here and Clare will get him in the morning." I just wanted it all to be over. "Its only 6pm." He looked at his phone. "So?" I smiled. "We can watch movies and cuddle?" I half asked knowing he would say yes.
