Daisy

Chapter 51: I Promise Maybe

Daisy's P.O.V

We took the elevator down to the lobby and signed the release papers. I helped Joey out to the parking lot and met Sawyer. He offered to pick us up, and I didn't really have an option considering Joeys car was destroyed and my truck was at home.

"Hey Sawyer" Joey waved and I put him in the front seat of Victoria. He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek as I leaned over to help him with his seat belt. I smiled and shut his car door, and climbed in back.

We made small talk during the car ride and soon got to the apartment. I must say, I'm really surprised that Joey hasn't asked what my little break down was all about and why i tore that paper to shreds while I cried my eyes out like the pathetic excuse for a human being that I am.

We rode on the elevator in silence, and we stopped in the middle of both of our apartment doors as sawyer went ahead into their apartment. "So who's apartment?" I asked and looked up to him. "What do you mean?" He looked down at me.

"What you think I'm just going to leave you to take care of your self when your sick?" I asked and raised a brow. "I'm not sick" he looked down to his cast.

"Injured is a type of sick. And I'm going to take care of you. Now who's apartment?" I asked again. He pointed to his door, and I helped him limp over. I gave the secret knock, and was soon greeted with the friendly face of Sawyer Hartman.

Joey laughed and pet hitch who was going crazy at his feet. "Well I'm going to go hang out with my bitch Tyler Oakley, so I'll see y'all later" he hugged me goodbye "Send my love to the queen" I laughed as he smiled and shut the door.

"Shall we?" I held out my arm to Joey "We shall" he chuckle and linked his arm with mine. I helped him up the stairs, which took a while since he named each step as we went. Sometimes I wonder about him.

"There! Mission accomplished! Good work gang!" I said as I laid Joey down on his bed. "Now what can I get you?" I said and placed another pillow under his head, to make it more comfortable.

"I don't need anything" he shrugged "Are you sure?" I ran my fingers through my bangs. "Are you hungry? I could make you something to eat?"

"No I'm not hungry" he shrugged again "Are you thirsty? I could bring you some water. Are you bored do you want to watch a movie? Do you want your computer?" I rambled on an made hand gestures as I went.

"No I'm not hungry, thirsty or bored!" He chuckled "So there's nothing I can get for you?" I questioned again "No, Daisy, I'm fine. Go home. Have a shower and change. You must be uncomfortable wearing the same clothes for more than a day"

He pulled down slightly at the bottom of my shirt for emphasis. "Trust me I've been in the same outfit for longer than a day or two" I mumbled to myself and thought back to the bad times. "What was that?"

"Nothing. But yeah I'll go have a shower and change" I rubbed the back of my neck trying to relieve the soreness. "Okay. But come back here right after for a nap. You barely got any sleep last night" he took my hand.

"Maybe" I sassily replied "Promise?" He pouted "Sure. I promise maybe" I laughed and leaned down to give him a kiss. I pecked his lips and when I went to leave, he placed his good hand on the back of my neck and pulled me back to his lips. We kissed for about 20 seconds and I pulled away again "Can I go now?" I smiled. He nodded his head and I left.

I went back to my apartment, took a long hot shower, changed, dried my hair and brushed my teeth. I put on some Chapstick, said bye to Rocco, and returned to Joeys apartment. I knocked softly on his bedroom door and he said for me to come in.

"How bout now?" I stood bye his bed "How bout now what?" He said with a confused expression "Can I get you anything now?" I ran my hand through his hair and down his cheek.

"You feel warm" I pressed the back of

my hand to his forehead "Daisy I'm fine." He removed my hand "Are you sure?" I asked, concern subtly laced through my voice. "Yes I'm sure now just come here!" He laughed and pulled me down on the bed and scooted over so he was laying next to me. I was laying in the spot he was just in, and it was warm and cozy.

He covered me with the blankets and rolled on his side so he was facing me. "Get some sleep love" he whispered.

"I'm scared" I whispered back. "Are you scared of what happened at the hospital?" He questioned. The memory played through my head a few more times and I soon felt a single tear roll down my face. Joey wiped it away and kissed my forehead.

"Tell me what happened, please?" The sentence came out as more of a question than a demand, but I knew that he not only wanted too, but he needed to know.

So I told him. I told him about the nightmare, the awful memory, and the drawing.

"You shouldn't think of that stuff still" he said more to himself than me. "It's not really a choice of mine. They invade my mind, and it's hard to go I battle with them, know in I'm going to lose. I've never been able to sleep without waking up to those horrid things" I said, the last part more to myself than him.

"Well I'll be here. I'll keep the bad dreams away" he pulled me into his arms. "Really?" I hugged him back.

"Maybe" he sassily replied. "Promise?" I smiled into his chest. "Sure. I promise maybe" I felt him laugh and he kissed the top of my head. "Sweet dreams love" was the last thing I heard, before I fell into a deep, peaceful slumber.
