Saving Daisey

Chapter 42

I exit the classroom with Ashton by my side. My thigh high boots and simple jumper dress make most of the students passing by gawp at me, which in turn makes me extremely uncomfortable.

Ashton growls lowly as I receive a few looks from passing males, whose attentions all divert when they spot the towering muscular frame of Ashton next to me.

"Are you serious about this modelling thing?" Ashton starts, running a hand through his dishevelled locks.

"Yeah, why not? I need the money so it's can't hurt really." I say evenly, tugging my dress down a little when I spot a geeky looking girl giving me a disgusted glare.

"Well if you need the money, I can help you out..." he begins before I cut him off rather sharply.

"No, no way" I state, my eyes locked on his vibrant greens. He analyses me for a few seconds before nodding in agreement.

We continue walking down the almost empty hallways, until a low voice catches my attention.

The sound of the male comes from behind me. I stop dead in my tracks before turning to try and source the noise.

"Yeah sure" the male chuckles.

I know that voice, it's Frankie!

I start to speed walk down the length of the corridor barging passing students unintentionally. Turning left, I slam straight into my younger brothers chest.

"Frankie?!" I squeal, pulling back to take a good look at him. He's always been taller than me, but he must have grown at least another 2 feet since i last saw him!

His blonde hair is styled back cutely, and his blue eyes almost exactly like mine roam my face before lighting up in happiness.

"Omg, Dais! I've missed you!" he pulls me into a long hug, his muscular arms wrapping around my torso tightly.

"Hello Daisey" another voice intervenes, breaking our sibling reunion.

I pull back out of his grasp, an uneasy churn starting in my stomach.

Cole stands there leaning against a locker casually, his arms folded over his chest arrogantly- and his greasy slicked back hair gleaming in the school corridor light.

"Why are you here?" I ask my brother, confused as to why he's on university campus grounds as opposed to his high schools.

"Cole wanted to show me around, he's pretty cool huh?"

I scoff loudly, looking angrily towards Cole. Great, he's gone for my brother now- is there any other way he wants to try in order for me to hate him a bit more?

I completely forgot about Ashton, I left him when I disappeared looking for Frankie.

"Yeah, me and your little bro are besties, you'll be a seeing a lot more of me now I suppose" Cole drools, running his eyes up and down my body.

Ignoring his comment I look up at my beautiful little brother, I'm glad he escaped my mother- and I hope he does well for himself. But an uneasy feeling within me, has me thinking he'll do the complete opposite.

~~~~~

It's late, and once again Livy hasn't returned. She's been staying at Coles a lot ever since they officially started 'dating'. Vom.

I'm kitted out in some fleecy pyjama bottoms and matching jumper- with my fluffy pink slippers, curled up on my bed watching my favourite film, The Notebook.

I haven't cried yet, which is a huge achievement for me, my eyes have only watered a few times. My best friends Ben and Jerry are seated on my lap comfortably, as I choke and splutter all over my Mac book screen in a pathetic attempt to keep the tears inside me.
