Chapter 18: Dear Daisy

Daisy's P.O.V

Dear Daisy,

I can't get you out of my mind. I don't know what it is, but whenever I'm away from you, I just can't stop thinking about you.

I've never felt this way about anyone before. I've never been in love, yet my heart has still been broken. I want you to know that what I said today in that parking lot, was true. I meant every word. And I know you care about me.

You may not feel the same way, but I know you care. I heard you screaming my name last night, and it brought me to tears. What you said to me last night, shattered my heart into a million little pieces.

I can't stay away away from you. You are like a magnet to me. It kills me to know that you've been hurt, and I know you have.

But Daisy, I promise I will never hurt you. I can't even stand to see you cry. I know you don't trust me, but I'm not asking for trust. I'm just asking for a chance.

I promise, if you give me one, I can be everything you need. I will comfort you, take care of you, protect you, and be there for you. I would set myself on fire, just to keep you warm.

I know that this letter doesn't change anything, but I needed you to know how I feel.

I love you. More than anything.

-Joey

By the end of this letter, I was in tears. No one had ever cared about me like that. Ever.

I read it again, and continued to cry. This is like a fairy tale. I'm the princess, and he's my prince. But like all tragic love stories, I can't be with him. And it's because I love him that I can't be with him.

I could hear Joey shuffling around on the other side of the wall "Joey" I whispered "Yeah?" I could hear in his voice that he had been crying "What is this?" I asked.

"I just needed you to know. I didn't expect it to change anything" now I was crying again "Joey I can't be with you. It's too dangerous" I said through my tears "Daisy I can protect you. Do you get that?!" He raised his voice through the wall.

"I'm not talking about me....it's too dangerous for you." I stopped crying. I need to toughen up.

"Now please, just leave me alone" I got up, and put the letter in the top drawer of my dresser. I went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. I undressed and stepped into the steaming hot shower.

The water mixed with my tears as I tried to wash away my sorrows. But just like the rest of my life, it was hopeless.

Joeys P.O.V

Tears ran down my cheeks as I processed what happened. I know it was stupid of me to write that letter, but I don't regret it at all. She needed to know how I felt.

"If you only knew,

Im hanging by a thread the web i spin for you.

If you only knew,

I'd sacrifice my beating heart before I lose, you.

I still hold onto the letters,

you've returned,

I swear I've lived and learned.

It's 4:03 and I can't sleep,

without you next to me I toss and turn like the sea.

If I drown tonight bring me back to life breathe your breath in me the only thing that I still believe in is you,

if you only knew."

I could hear Daisy's sweet voice singing over the running water. I didn't know the song, but it was beautiful. I slowly cried myself to sleep as she sang.

'I won't give up on her' I thought to myself as I let the darkness take over.

The song Daisy was singing is called "if you only knew" by Shine Down.
