Chapter 18

D A I S Y

"Where is Heidi?" Ashton worriedly asked Dave. I assumed Heidi was his girlfriend, since she was the person we were meeting here. We had landed a few minutes ago and now we were searching for Heidi in the busy airport.

Ashton suddenly laid his eyes on a blonde girl standing some feet away.

"Heidi!" Ashton dropped his bags and ran to her, surprising her in a hug and twirled her around.

Calum groaned, not liking the scene for some reason. Luke shot him a sympathetic look.

What was that about? Did Calum have a secret crush on Heidi or something? That must suck, liking someone but knowing you can't be with them because they're in love with someone else.

"Heidi, I'd like you to meet my, um, daughter." Ashton said once Heidi greeted the other boys. She stared at me for a second, giving me a nasty glare.

Ashton looked from me to her and her expression changed to happy and kind. I rose one eyebrow at her, nearly jumping from surprise when she suddenly hugged me. Heidi pulled back, bolded me by my shoulders and gave me that mean look again.

I looked at the other boys who didn't notice.

"Her name is Daisy." Luke commented.

Heidi looked me up and down, her eyes settling on my flat chest. "How old is she? Twelve."

I glared at her. "15." I corrected.

"Be nice to Heidi, Daisy." Ashton scolded.

I stared at him in shock, wondering how he was so oblivious to how rude she was.

"Come on before the fans get here." Dave said. As we left the airport fans had swarmed us. Ashton completely tossed me aside and only focused on that evil witch called his girlfriend.

I hated her already.

So I stuck with Michael, who was more protective than Ash was being.

If that bïtch tries to be my new mom . . . This tour was not going to end well.

***

I had tried to give the girl a chance and had asked her about how she lived here in California, and how she met Ashton, and what type of pets she had. But she had just given Ashton this look that said "help, get this girl away from me so I can spend time with you and use you for more money" and he told me to go away.

Literally.

"So, how many pets do you have?" I asked, after getting rejected once I asked about her life here.

She rolled her eyes and gave Ashton that look.

"Daisy, go away. Do you think Heidi wants to hear a million questions from you?" Ashton snapped. The two were sitting in the living room at the hotel, being all gross and lovey dovey.

But her love was fake.

Well, I assumed.

I felt a wave of sadness hit me. "But -"

"Daisy." Ashton warned. I sighed and backed away. Heidi gave me this smug smirk, which I wished to slap off along with her ten pounds of makeup.

I've only known her for an hour and I despised her.

I stomped away and went to go talk to Calum, who also shrugged me off to go Skype someone. With a hurt ego I searched for Luke, who also rejected wanting to hangout with me to write songs.

"Please?" I know begged the only person I had. "Just for a little? Im bored."

"Sorry kiddo." Michael shook his head and slowly closed the door in my face.

I sighed and leaned my back against the wood and sank to the floor, pulling my knees up to my face. The worst thing in the world was being ignored or being put to the side.

I was lonely.

One thing led to another and I snuck out, leaving my phone and jacket behind.

***

I angrily took my flip flops off as the sand came in contact with my toes. I only slightly relaxed and enjoyed the sound of the waves and the noises of the seagulls. The sun was starting to set, leaving the sky a pretty pink and the beach empty. As I walked I thought about Ashton.

Now that Heidi was around would he ignore me more? Would he toss me aside to be with her?

Was I just jealous? Or was Heidi really evil?

I ended up crying and started turning back since it was getting kinda late.

"Hey! Are you okay?" a voice called from behind me.

I sniffed and wiped my nose. "Yeah." I turned and saw a girl my age standing some feet away.

"No you aren't. Why're you crying?" she jogged up and started walking with me.

(Why're apparently isnt a word?? But I say it so)

"It's a long story." I wiped my eyes.

"I have time." she reminded me of Auburn, blonde and caring.

"My dad . . . He has this evil girlfriend and he just tossed me aside to be with her. It sucks being thrown to the side like some toy you don't want anymore." I said, hugging myself as a slight breeze hit us.

She nodded. "I feel you. My parents divorced and sometimes I feel like they love their partners more than me. It sounds selfish but -"

"It doesn't sound selfish." I smiled nicely.

She smiled back. "What's your name? I'm Carter."

"Daisy."

"Pretty name." Carter said.

"Thank you." I slipped on my flip flops. "I should really go. I snuck out and my dad probably wont be happy."

"You little rebel." she laughed. "Alright, Daisy. Good luck!" she called as I began jogging to the sidewalk leading back to the hotel.

"Thanks! You too." I called back

***

"Where have you been?"

I winced, closing the door and turning around to be met with an angry Ashton and a smug Heidi.

"Oh, so now you care?" I huff.

"What? Of course I care. We were worried sick." Ashton scolded, moving his hand in between Heidi and him.

"Oh, I'm sure she was." I sarcastically snapped, glaring at Heidi.

"Excuse me?" she gasped.

"Daisy!" Ashton yelled. "That is no way to talk to Heidi. Go to your room."

I mumbled a swear word at them both and stomped past them. Standing in front of my door I turned to see Heidi crying. That faking son of a -

I slammed my door and locked it. I threw myself onto the bed and burst into tears of anger and frustration.

My foreshadowing is on point though.
