*ELIJAH'S POV*

Daisy is upstairs in my bed watching movies while i cook lunch. My front door opens the boys coming in.

"So we were thinking for football we should have a party." Collin says as they both sit on the bar stools opposite me.

"How does that have anything to do with football?"
"Just for fun, get everyone together. Here maybe?" He smiles.

"Sure."
"Cool. Where's Dai-"

They are cut off by really loud, quite depressing songs from upstairs.

"She's upstairs." I hold back my smile.

"Is she good?"

"She's probably watched a video of a sad puppy, watched titanic or bambi."

They both smile at that response. Daisy then starts singing the lyrics, by singing i mean screaming.

"I'm just gonna go-." I nod to the stair-well.
"Yeah, think that's best." They laugh as i wonder my way upstairs.

"Daisy, baby." I creak the door open and walk in as she's curled in a ball holding my pillow as she sobs looking at the tv, which isn't turned on. A sad dog video for sure. I turn off her music and sit on the edge of our bed.

"You okay?"

"I saw a video of a sick puppy. No i'm not okay." She sniffles looking at me. I sigh as i open my arms.

"Come here."

She smiles as she snuggles into me. I pull her onto my lap as she rests her head in my neck.

"The puppy will be fine."

She pulls her head out her neck, now with a smile.

"Your the best, remember when we first met and you made me spill my hot chocolate, actually you still need to pay me back for that because i nev-"

I cut her off with a kiss.

"The boys are downstairs."

"Oh god." He digs her head back into my neck of embarrassment.

"It's fine, they think it's funny."

She lets out a small giggle as butterflies fill my stomach.

I wipe her leftover tears and we go downstairs.

Collin and Jordan both fight back smiles as Daisy comes down.

"Hello boys." She smiles as i sit her on the counter.

Jordan and Collin's face both twitch trying to hide their laugh.

Daisy tilts her head in confusion.

"Are you boys.. okay?"

"Ye-" They can't even finish their sentence before they are both wheezing laughter.

"What's going on?" Daisy looks at me.

"Don't worry about them." I chuckle. She nods with a giggle.

"Okay, i have to go my parents keep calling me but i'll be back soon tonight."

"Okay. I love you. Drive safe." I kiss her.

"I love you too and yes i will." She smiles as she leaves the kitchen and walks out the door.

"I'm so happy you didn't screw up." Collin smiles.

"Thanks." I roll my eyes.

"Seriously, you guys are the cutest." Jordan nods.

"Fuck yourselfs, like seriously. Get a girlfriend. If i can get one, Daisy for that matter, you both can."

"We'll get on that." They laugh.

~~

I'm calling everyone i have in my phone contacts. Which isn't many, but i'll run around town if i need.

Daisy is five minutes late and it's driving me mad. She is never late.

To make it worse i was on fucking instagram and saw our local news posting about a car accident and if i swear to fucking god she's hurt or worse. I'm killing everyone.

My front door opens her small figure coming in. Thank the fucking fuck.

"Where the hell have you been?" I mumble bringing my phone down hanging up.

"I was at the doctors."

I snap my head up to her.

"When? Why? What for? Are you sick? I can't live without you."
She smiles coming towards me sitting on my lap her head resting on my shoulder, her back against my chest.

"It was just my yearly check-up, i'm fine."

I slowly wrap my arm around her waist breathing deeply.

"Don't scare me like that."
"I'm sorry." She giggles.

"So you can't live without me huh." She teases.
"Possibly." I place a soft kiss to her lips.

I look down at her outfit as she wears and oversize grey shirt. I looks familiar.

"Are you the one that took my shirt?"

"Is it yours? Whoops." She shrugs with a giggle.

"Looks better on you anyway." I mutter as i stand up, still holding her.

"Elijah." She giggles as i carry her.

"Daisy."

"Elijah."

"Fuck." I whisper as i lay her down on my bed and roll her over so she's looking up at me. I flop on-top of her.

"God your going to kill me." Her hands travel to my hair.

"Mmm."

"Goodnight." She whispers.

"Goodnight, Sunshine."
