The ups and downs

The fight

*pov of Daisy*
I woke up to the blaring of my alarm for school on Monday. I had the strangest dream but I can't seem to remember it now. I got ready I put on a pair on black leggings and a bring me the horizon shirt, I put on some eyeliner and mascara. Then I slid on my white converse and headed downstairs. My mom wasn't up, odd. "Mom! MOM!!" I yelled into the house. I guess she isn't home, I just shrugged and went out the door. It was freezing out so I grabbed a sweatshirt...wait I knew I forgot the sweatshirt and shirt! I put them in my bag and headed to school. Today I decided to listen to Fall Out Boy. Once I got to school I took off my earbuds and frowned as I walked to the chorus room. I was greeted by an excited Mary,"Who do you think got it?" I shrugged "I don't know." She rolled her eyes "I think that Oliver boy you always talk to got the boy part and you got the girl part." I let out a small chuckle," yeah right like I'd get it." "You were so much better than anyone else! So you deserve it!" I shook my head and we went inside and made our way to the cluster of people who blocked the sheet with two names. Oliver Sykes. Not a surprise. Then. I stopped. It can't be right. Daisy Hope. But how? No no no. I can't do it with Oliver. Not after. Whatever. Mary engulfed me in a hug and jumped around. She was saying something but I was in too much shock to realize what she was saying. We walked to our seats and the bell ring. So far there is no sign of Oliver. Good sign. About half way through class Oliver arrived with bed head but he still looked adorable. I can't seem to drop this thing I have for him. Despite everything. He walked over to the paper and was beaming. He apologized to the teacher and walked over to his seat. Why did I have to say Oliver was one of my friends. I knew this would bite me in the ass eventually. He nudged me but I ignored him, I could already assume he would be frowning at me. Class ended and I left and avoided Oliver despite him trying to get my attention. The good thing about being short is I can easily become lost. The school day went on and everything was fine until Spanish. I walked in and saw James, without hesitation I walked over and sat down. Show no fear I thought. I could feel his eyes piercing through me. Class ended and he tripped me, not a surprise at this point, but I landed on my already hurt elbow. Damnit. It was lunch so I decided to go to the nurse. I was walking over when I saw a circle around two people. A fight how fun. I walked by and noticed it was two boys, of course. But one boy with dark brown hair and eyes once full of innocence but now filled with anger. He was punching a boy with green eyes and dirty blonde hair. It took a while for me to process that Oliver was beating the shit out of James. With no adult coming or anyone breaking it up I jumped in. I know stupid move one part of my brain said but Oliver couldn't go to jail for killing James even if I have a mini grudge. I attempted to pull Oliver off of James but he ended up elbowing me in the face causing my nose to become a fountain of blood. I help my nose and tackled Oliver to the ground, I looked in his eyes and saw hatred. Some of James's friends took him away to the nurse and I kept Oliver in check until he was out of sight. I noticed Oliver had a black eye forming and a cut lip. I offered to help him up but he didn't take it. All he did was glare at me, he stopped when he saw my arm covered in blood and me pinching my nose while holding my elbow. He walked toward me but I just turned around and started going to the nurse. He followed me. I had to sit outside to wait and Oliver just stood looking at me. "What do I have something in my teeth?" I asked clutching my nose. He let a small smirk escape. I rolled my eyes and stood up," you know you should be thankful I stopped that mess you could of been suspended for god knows how long If it got any worse. And it seems like he got some hits at you, which I'm assuming started the fight, so hopefully it'll be okay for you." I said trying to sound hopeful. Still no response. "Okay sorry I bothered you but you don't seem very injured so just go to lunch." I said annoyed at this point. He didn't move. "Did I do something to you? Well I ignored you this morning but you damn well know why. So if this is how our, well friendship I guess is going to work I'm not a fan. I think I saw that girl you liked walk to lunch so go get her tiger." I said but it hurt me to say it. He walked away, I almost wanted to say stay with me but it's for the best we just avoid each other. I continued to wait for the nurse who was on a lunch break I assume. I sat down again and waited. Oliver came back carrying tissues and a tray with his lunch I presume. He put down the tray and moved my hands off of my face. His eyes widened but he put the tissues on my nose and held it there. "I can hold them, but thank you." I said with a small smile. He let go and let me hold it. He then looked at my elbow and rolled his eyes, "James?" Him breaking the silence scared me almost. I nodded my head in response," well I got it before but he pushed me causing the cut to reopen." He smiled at me and I raised an eyebrow. He sat next to me and ate his lunch. I couldn't help but smile because of it. We continued to wait. "I'm sorry." I looked over at him "hmm?" "Daisy I'm sorry." He said and I could see tears forming in his eyes. "I should of not run away when he was going to, y'know, I should of taken him off of you and beat the shit out of him. Please forgive me. I'm sorry I was giving you the silent treatment after you took me off of him, I was mad because you didn't let me give him what he deserves. But please forgive me, I beg you." A single tear went down his cheek. I didn't know he felt this serious about it. "It's fine Oli." I said trying to sound convincing. He shook his head "no it's not, I don't deserve to be called a friend by you. After I ran away I felt like I was going to puke. I thought you two were well a thing and that's why I did run. But it didn't seem right and you were crying but at that point I couldn't go back. I got high on anything I could find and ended up making out with some slut. I don't like her and I never liked people like that. They are just an easy hook up, I'm not much with relationships so that's all I do with girls. All I need is for you to forgive me. And the fight was because of you, he said something along the lines of 'next time I'll be sure to ruin your little friend' I snapped and just started beating him." He was crying now and I didn't know what to do. "Oli, oh Oliver don't cry please. It's okay I forgive you. And I want us to be friends. Just please don't cry." Tears fell from my eyes, I don't know what it was but seeing him crying was breaking any grudge I have for him. He looked at me and wiped his eyes. He then wiped any tears that had escaped my eyes. "I feel something different for you than I have with other girls, Daisy. I don't know how to explain it but I want to be with you. Not like what I was like but an actual relationship. I don't know what it is but I like you. But no I like you more that just a crush. You're different." He said with sweet smile. I kinda stared at him unsure of what to do or say. The nurse came and I shot up "I gotta go get my face and arm fixed." I ran into the nurse office and left Oliver alone in the hall.
