After a minute of sitting beside Jacob, crying because he was still in a coma, I decided it was time to leave. I wiped my face and tried to appear strong as I walked out into the waiting room. I got into the car and began driving home, finally letting the tears fall again.

What if Jacob won't take me back when he wakes up? What if he'll hate me?

What if he doesn't even wake up?

I quietly entered into the house and snuck past the boys (who were in the living room watching a sports) and went into the kitchen for a bottle of water. My eyes landed on the island, then on the bag of potato chips. I grabbed a water, then quickly grabbed the bag, and darted up the stairs.

The boys had surely heard me, and Ashton yelled out a greeting, but I ignored it and locked myself into my room. I don't know what got me to do it, but I sat down on my bed and opened the bag of chips.

I began munching. Halfway through the bag I felt a little better, and kept eating. I don't know why, but eating seemed to help, so I went downstairs and found more food, slightly increasing the amount.

This time I grabbed another bag of chips and oreos. I ate them in minutes and then sat there, utterly disgusted in myself for eating.

But I couldn't help it. The food somehow made me feel better and I had wanted more. But now I was disgustingly stuffed and felt guilty.

The next thing I knew I was a sobbing mess. I was fat and the food I just ate didn't help.

Might as well forget about Jacob taking me back now.

"Is Daisy okay?" Ashton asked us after Daisy ignored him.

"Should one of us go talk to her?" Calum asked.

"Let's give her some space," Michael suggested. We agreed and went back to watching the football (soccer) game.

"I'm gonna go check on her," I said after swearing I heard a weird noise come from upstairs.

The others nodded and I stood up and headed upstairs. I quietly climbed the stairs, frightened to what I might find.

Flashbacks ran through my mind as I remembered the time I found her unconscious with a bottle of pills. I shivered at the thought and approached her room, freezing at what sounded like crying.

I hesitsted, but then pushed her door open. She sat on the bed, her knees pulled up to her chin with tears streaming down her face.

"Baby, what's wrong?" I gasped, rushing to her side. I hugged her tight and rubbed her back, an attempt to calm her down.

She pressed her face into my chest and cried.

"What's wrong? Should I get Ashton?" I panicked.

"No," she sniffled.

We sat there for a few minutes and she eventually calmed down.

"What was wrong? Do you want to talk about it?" I asked her once her cries stopped.

She didn't answer.

"Daisy?"

I looked down, seeing her eyes were closed and she was asleep. I smiled  slightly at how cute she looked laid down.

The two body guards stood on either side of Luke and I as we entered the party store.

"What do we need again?" I asked, following him down the aisle.

"Confetti, tape, a banner, balloons, cups, and streamers," Luke answered, grabbing items and dropping them into the basket I was carrying.

"What about cake?" I asked.

"We'll get that later," Luke replied, handing me the tape.

After we found everything we checked out, then left the store.

"I'm going to go grab some drinks," Luke said as we stepped outside into the daylight, pointing behind him at the liquor store.

So one of the bodyguards waited with me in the car and another went with Luke into the liquor store.

After the cashier checked my ID he scanned and totaled the beer and wine.

"Having a party or something?" he joked while bagging the items.

"Yeah," I replid, casually turning  and seeing a group of girls waiting outside the store.

I sighed and glanced at my bodyguard, Dave. The man handed me the drinks, and I walked with Dave to the door.

He held his arm out in front of me as we walked through the growing crowd. I tried to take pictures with as many people as I could, but it was hard with Dave rushing me.

"Hi, Luke!" a girl chirped, coming up beside me and snapping a picture of us. "Do you like Daisy? I think you two would make a cute couple."

I didn't respond and kept walking. Dave opened the door and I slid inside. When we pulled onto the main road I glanced at Daisy and thought about what the fan had said.

Daisy was pretty and all, but –

"Can I have some?" Daisy joked,  breaking my train of thought.

"No! You're underage."

"So?"

"Ashton would kill me, so no," I replied.

Daisy laughed and then looked out the window beside her. I silently watched her, the fans voice echoing inside my head.
