TRULY YOURS

Unknow Friend~Daisy

"Well, I reached the safe, But it wasn't David. It was his friend who picked me Up" I replied to Mia's text.

I sat next to the couch, trying to figure out the notes that I had to finish off. But I can't bring it together. This apartment is so noisy, that most of the families live there. I haven't seen one teenager here.
I packed all my notes and came out of the room, to find a spot where one couldn't disturb me and my studies.

"You new here? I haven't seen you here before" she asked me behind the stairs.

I looked up at her. She looks messy, and enthusiastic, and has a guitar on her back. She has pierced-out earrings, and her hair is colored blue with light black. She wore a tank top with ripped jeans and chunky heels. She didn't put makeup on her face.

" Uhh! Yes, last week I got here. Are you up to somewhere? " I asked to her.

She came down the stairs towards me.
"Yup! This place is louder for me"

I guess she has been alone here like me. I hope I can be her friend in case, we are in the same situation.

" It's the same for me. If you don't mind, can be together? cause I don't have anyone."

She doesn't seem like making friends. She stared at me for a long and started walking down without speaking out.

"Grace! Grace Lopez. My name, come on I
Known the place for people like us." she looked up at me with a stiff smile.

"It's Daisy Cooper! Thanks for letting me with you." I replied to her.

I followed her to the place, and she walked like a ghost. My eyes fall on her shoulder. It's a deep-cut scar, I feel bad for her having a scar.

" Here we are," she said. " This is the spot where I belong, make yourself comfortable. And Yes! Don't expect more than this from me"

                        ..................

The place is freedom. I felt the soothing breeze, there was a small destroyed cottage and a large empty field. something that changes my mindset. I stood and stared at the sky, the clouds were heavenly.

"Cooper? Hey! Which planet are you in?"
She waved her hand in front of my face.

"Ahhh!! Sorry, it's nothing. This place feels somewhat like home. " I said to her.

She sat on the grass and asked me to sit next to her. She looked in the other direction, ignoring the cottage.

" The place and this half-destroyed cottage was used to be home, Daisy. After losing my parents, I was pushed out of the family members. There was no one to have me, I was adopted by the orphanage, and now I live and earn through the help of my guitar."

I freeze for a moment. When she stooped and cried like she wasn't able to weep for years. I faced her and hugged her tightly around my arms.

"I can understand you, Grace. Please stop crying, there's nothing you have done wrong."
I hold her hands, comforting her.

"I have never had a chance to share with anyone but when you said you felt it like home, I could not stop myself." she cried hard.

"You have a new friend now. Though we stay in the same place and we don't like it. So don't worry about anything. Okay? "

"Yup! Dual okay for me Cooper" she smiled.
