day & night (gxg)

0 - 3: daisy

Once Blair was done, she gave me a soft smile that made my stomach do flips.

"You should sleep, I'll wake you up and I'll take you home, okay?" She says, getting up and patting my thigh. I look down at my thigh, a blush creeping on my face as I play with the hem of my denim shorts.

I just nod, I hated the idea of skipping even more classes but I was exhausted. Blair was right anyway, Shane was probably gonna beat me up twice as hard for the fact that Blair even intervened.

Damn it, was this a bad idea?

Blair left the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I look at the time now and it's 11, she said she'd wake me up at 2.

Shane's gonna kill me. He's gonna hurt me twice as bad today and I thought it was bad.

My mind trails off. Why does Shane bully me? I've been here for a year and I've never had any friends because the whole time I've been here, he's just picked on me and humiliated me. What did I do? Surely I did something, I always manage to mess something up.

A few tears stream down my cheeks and I try to keep my cries quiet but I guess I managed to mess that up too because Blair pokes her head through the door.

She doesn't say anything, she just walks herself over to the bed and sits beside me. I turn my head away so she doesn't see me cry, I've already embarrassed myself enough.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Her tone of voice soft and full of worry, much different than how she was speaking earlier. I feel her finger on my chin as she gently forces me to look at her. Her deep, sapphire eyes staring at me intensely, as if she can see through every defence I put up. I look away, afraid that if I look at her for one more moment, she'll see directly through me.

"Daisy, talk to me," She says, sitting directly in front of me. I sit up and look at my lap. I shut my eyes tightly, forcing more tears to come out.

She guides my head so I'm laying in her lap as she uses her arm to rub my shoulder gently. I clutch on the bottom of her shirt, sobs racking my body.

"Why- Why does he hurt me?" I choke out.

Her grip on me tightens.

"I just... I just don't get it." I say quieter, starting to fall asleep.

"I know." I heard her whisper before falling asleep. I felt her lie down next to me but she never loses her grip on me. My head is on her chest and I could feel her chin on the top of my head.

Then I fell asleep.

"Hey, Daisy. It's time to get up now. I needa take you home."

I groan, rolling over. Suddenly, I feel myself lifted off the bed. She puts me in the car gently, giving me a pillow.

"Hey, I need your address."

"32 Oxford Way." I mumble, still half asleep.

She drives in silence, the low music coming from the radio is the only sound playing.

We get to my house and I get out, grabbing my bag and stuff from the car.

"Hey... Thanks. For everything." I say, leaning down slightly.

She nods and I go to say more, about how no one helps me and how I'm glad to have a friend but I decide against it, knowing it'll be too much.

So I just nod and leave it at that, closing the door behind me.

I walk into the house and the second my footsteps inside, I hear, "Why the fuck did you ditch school?", being yelled from the living room.

I walked into the living room where she was sitting on the sofa. I sat next to her but at a distant where she couldn't do anything.

"I... you see... um..." I stutter out. No one ever tells you how hard it is to tell your mum you're being bullied without breaking her heart.

"Well? I'm waiting." Her eyes were full of fury. "This is so unlike you Daisy. You never ditch, what was going through your mind? Were you thinking?" Her voice was sharp and stern and it caused my eyes to water because she's never been angry at me before, not like this.

"I got... beat up. A girl like... took me back to her place to help me so I didn't go to my classes." I stutter out, my voice growing really quiet.

"You're being bullied? For how long?" She says and I get the courage to look up. Her eyes were glassy with unshed tears.

"Since we moved here," I muttered.

"Daisy... This has been happening for a year?" She questions, her voice full of so many emotions, a specific one being concern.

I bit my lip and responded with, "it was never serious. Just name calling, some shoving here and there. It escalated today..." I say, my eyes filling with tears.

She pulls me into a hug and I sobbed into her shoulder, my thoughts flashing back to when Blair held me while I cried. I hope she didn't mind that I got her shirt wet...

She pulled away first, wiping my eyes.

"Go get cleaned up Daisy, I'll get dinner." I nod, getting up and walking away before her voice calls out, "and Daisy?"

I turn around, looking at her.

"I'm glad you made a friend." She says, smiling. I just nod and walk to my room, getting changed from the pink shirt and denim shorts I had on today.

The day ends in my bed with some McDonald's and Netflix. I was so ready to put this day behind me but no matter how hard I tried, I'd always find myself thinking about the mysterious girl dressed in black.

Blair.
