D A I S Y

The stairs creaked as I heard someone come down the stairs. I didn't bother trying to hide the fact that I was crying, and just continued to sit there.

"Daisy?" came Luke's voice from the kitchen.

"In here," I sobbed. I looked up as Luke walked into the living room and came over to the front door and knelt beside me.

"What's wrong?"

"Jacob came over," I sniffed.

"What happened?"

"He came over to talk to me and I gave him the promise ring and his phone and I made him leave. And I told him to never talk to me again and that we were basically over," I struggled to say all of that through my tears, but I managed to.

"Why did you have his phone?" Luke curiously asked.

"Because I was kind of suspicious and thought he was cheating. I only just checked it and turns out he was."

"That little –" Luke began, but stopped himself when I let out a small sob.

"Come here," Luke opened his arms.

I sat up and let him hug me and pull me onto his lap. He rested his chin on my shoulder while I buried my face into his neck and cried.

"Sh, you're okay," he whispered, running a gentle hand through my hair.

"No I'm not."

He sighed.

"I know, and I'm sorry. You don't deserve this," he replied.

"He didn't appreciate the amazing girl he had, so don't waste your time crying over him. You deserve better and I swear you'll find someone who will treat you better and make sure you know how much you mean to them."

"Thanks, Luke," I sniffed.

"No problem. And, um, until you find that person, you have me," he hesitantly said.

I felt myself start to smile. He was so cute.

"Luke," I pulled back so our faces were level, inces apart.

I stared into his ice-blue eyes and he stared back into my gree eyes. My stomach fluttered as hia gaze dropped to my lips for a split second, then back up to my eyes.

"Yeah?"

"Thanks," I said. We stood up off the floor.

"You're welcome."

"I'm going to go make breakfast, the rest of the boys are starting to get up," Luke turned and walked into the kitchen.

I nodded and watched him, admiring the way his back looked in his T-shirt and how messy his hair was.

I grabbed my lunch from my locker and began walking the hallway towards the cafeteria. I wasn't sure where'd I sit though.

I walked into the giant room, watching as friends got together and sat down. I looked to where Jacob and Jaz sat, my heart twisting in pain and the sight of them. I turned, searching for an empty table to sit at.

Just as I sat down a gentle hand came down on my shoulder, causing me to jump.

"Hey," I relaxed when I realized it was just May, a girl who sits at the same table as Jacob.

"Hey," she kindly smiled and sat beside me. "I heard about you and Jacob. I'm so sorry."

"No worries," I glanced over at him and Jaz. "Besides, he's happy now."

May frowns, "He was happy with you."

"Then why'd he cheat?"

"I honestly have no clue," May looked down and played with her bracelet. "I thought he was better than this."

"Me too." I mumbled.

"Why don't you come sit with us?" May asked, pointing her thumb over her shoulder towards her side of the table.

"I don't know –"

"Please? I hate to see you all alone and so sad."

"Fine."

I grabbed my bag and followed her over to her table. I felt Jacob's eyes on me, but ignored it.

I was sat four people away from Jacob, but it still felt like it wasn't enough space. I felt like I was suffocating, being sat so close to him. And my throat burned and I was trying my hardest to hold back tears.

Lunch was only about thirty minutes, but ot felt like forever.

And finally, it was time to go home. I decided to walk this time, just to think and clear my mind.

Bad idea.
