In the middle of pouring a bowl of cereal when my phone rings. I quickly realize that it's the FaceTime sound so I pause my cereal and rush over to the phone.
Of course I'm even more surprised to see that it's D the one who's FaceTiming me.
We hardly speak on the phone, let alone video call.
The call goes to voicemail and I almost panic, quickly snapping out of my stupid trance and rush to call her back.
"Merry Christmas Eve." She smiles as soon as she picks up.
I can't even deny the happiness that I'm currently feeling at this moment. It's concerning to say the least. But nonetheless I smile back. "Merry Christmas Eve," I chuckle, feeling nervous.
What is going on with me?
I don't ever get nervous. Especially with women. That just doesn't happen to me.
"I wanted to see what you were up to." Daisy says, and I see her get up and go to the fridge. "I thought you would be out or something."
Doing the same as her, I walk back to the kitchen so I can finish pouring my cereal. "Nah, not tonight. I'm not in the party mood." I answer with all honesty. "You actually caught me in the middle of pouring cereal." And I show her my bowl.
She giggles. "Well that sucks. I was counting on you to invite me to the biggest parties here in New York." And she lets out a sigh.
I laugh. "I don't even attend the biggest—wait! Are you here??" I ask, cutting myself off. Did I hear that right? She said she wasn't coming to the city till after Christmas Day.
With another giggle, she nods. "I am. I got in this morning."
My brows pinch together. "Why? What happened?"
There's no way that Daisy would be willingly spending Christmas here in New York without her family. And I saw how nervous she was to even go back home so I just know something had to have happened over there.
I watch as her face turns sad. "As expected, I got into a huge fight with my mom and I am no longer living over there with them."
My heart breaks for her. I know how much Daisy hurts from the way her mom treats her and having to be away from her sister is so hard for her as well. D is such a good and sweet person and it fucking sucks that she even has to go through this.
I sigh. "Fuck. I'm sorry Daze."
She shrugs. "It is what it is. Yes, it sucks and I hate that I'm in this situation but I'm also not gonna cry all day over it. I'm gonna move on and continue with my every day life."
