My Love on the Ice

•I still feel lonely and empty•

After learning Harley's name that was about it. He said he needed to leave because of all the homework he had. Reece wouldn't stop bugging me on what the two of us were talking about, and so, I told him... I mean there is no reason to keep our conversation a secret. It wasn't like we were talking about anything that important anyways.

After that I got into my car at around 5:30 and started my trip to the closest store. I had promised my girlfriend, Daisy, that I would be over after school since she caught a cold. She hasn't been at school for the last 2 days now.

When I got into the store I make sure to get some cold medicine, her favorite soup (vegetable soup), favorite candy (York peppermint patty), and a bouquet of her favorite flowers (Just a green and white bouquet). She is my girlfriend of 3 years so I know everything that she likes pretty well.

As I was checking out I also saw one of her favorite things. Rocks. There was a little container of different sanded down rocks and one had caught my eye. It was a deep green rock. As soon as I saw it, her eyes immediately came to mind and so I took it and hoped she didn't have that one already.

"It's so nice that you are over and making some dinner for Daisy." My girlfriends mother was standing over me as I stood in their kitchen setting up the little tray with all of the things I bought.

I smile and nod. "I mean I don't mind it. I haven't seen her in a while anyways." I set the hot soup on the tray and make sure everything had made it on.

"Aw you guys are so cute together. I'm so happy she has you." As her mother swoons I pick up the tray and make the way down the hall to her room.

"Come in!" I hear a response as I knock on the door quickly, pushing it in. I was greeted by Daisy sitting in her mountains of colored blankets. She had one of her many plants that was hanged around her, in her lap. It looked like she was putting a new string on the pot.

"Oh! Jae! You didn't have to do all this." She pouts and makes a move to get up.

"No no no. Sit down, I'll bring it to you." She sits back down with out anymore complaining, but ends up moving the plant from her lap as I replace it with the tray.

"Your so sweet." She whines and leans in, kissing my cheek.

I laugh and sit down right below her feet which were under the divan. "I just wanted to surprise you with all of your favorites."

She smiles and reaches out for her hair tie, tying her hair back quickly so she can get to eating. We sit there in silence for a little and I just watch her enjoy her food. This nearly made me just as happy as being on the rink did.

It didn't take long for the bowl to empty and a candy wrapper to be left on the tray. Daisy then gets up and goes to one of the glass vases on her desk and then takes it to her bathroom off to the side of her room. I follow her and watch from the door way as she fills the vase.

"Starring is rude." Daisy says raising her eyes to look at me with a teasing look through the mirror. I sigh and turn to go back to the bedroom. I grabbed the tray and walked out to go throw all the stuff away that she didn't need.

I hanged out at Daisys for as long as I can. I don't particularly like my home life so I stayed as long as her mother let me. It's not that long in all honesty, I had to leave at 8:00. After catching up with her, eating dinner, and finishing homework I start heading home.

Pulling my keys out of my pocket I push the apartment door open and all the lights were off but I still hear the TV on. I sigh and walk in slowly, locking the door, trying to not make any noise.
