luke and calum could tell i was on edge but didn't want to point it out. talking between each other trying to figure it out and trying to be discreet about it... but it wasn't working very well. "do you guys want anything to drink?" i ask.

"water"

"a sprite"

i walked past the two seated on the couch going into the kitchen. grabbing their drinks. "but what happened... she's uneasy and... is she okay?" luke whispered as i walked back. "here you go," they smile quickly changing topics as i sit down on the table in front of the two boys. "okay, luke so you're in love with daisy... well me-"

"that's the easiest part," he laughed earning a glare from calum. "calum you... well you like daisy but you're not truly in love with her it seems like. you say you are and you comport yourself as if you are... you find yourself attracted to another woman. but, then you see gatsby this suave guy showing affection to... daisy you kind of show territorial behavior. daisy wasn't cheating... but she was just getting the love you weren't giving her from another man. you realized how easy it is to lose her in a matter of seconds." i say putting down my notes not daring to look at calum as i walked past. "i figured we could all just watch the movie tonight... if that's ok."

"i'm fine with it," luke smiled calum only giving me a small nod yes. "i guess i'll go order pizza, and we can quickly to get snacks the someone put in the movie when we come back."

"tom was god knows where... with knows who and i asked the nurse if it was a girl or a boy and she said a girl and i wept... i'm glad it's a girl, and i hope she'll be a fool... that's the best thing a girl in this world could be... a beautiful fool all the bright precious things fade so fast and they don't come back..." daisy spoke softly as the a knock startled me once again. "... c-can someone go to the door with me..." i stutter grabbing my wallet. a quick ping making my phone vibrate.

unknown number: seems like you're a bit startled from my last message. i didn't mean to startle my baby girl... i'm just having a little fun before you come crawling back to me... can't wait for you to come back home with me. see you soon

my chest quickly grew heavy and their felt like there was a lump lodged in my throat. i was on the brink of tears. "ashely... ashely? what's wrong?" calum says kneeling down in front of me. "nothing... it-i... can i'll just go get the door please," i say getting off the couch. i was a bit hesitant not sure what to expect.
