DAISY // FIONN WHITEHEAD

Night Drive

Fionn stared at his drawings in wonder. He wasn't being big headed or anything, he thought they were actually really good. He was proud of himself for doing something that distracted him from trying to end his life. He enjoyed drawing.

He sighed and looked towards his clock on the wall.

9:36pm

He groaned and tilted his head back closing his eyes. He wasn't tired at all. That's when he knew he wanted to go for a walk.

He sneaked out of his window quietly grabbing everything he needed and slowly walked across the small roof, jumping down carefully.

He walked down the roads where he created memories as a child and overcame a lot of fears. He missed that.

Suddenly he got a call. It was Daisy.

He immediately answered it.

"Hello?" He spoke.

"Fionn where are you?" Her angelic voice came through.

"I'm heading down towards the beach, just going past the hospital now" He replies.

"Meet me at the hospital, I've stolen my brothers car" Fionn froze and tried to find a reply.

"Erm, yeh sure" He said.

"Thankyou" She hung up leaving him stranded outside the hospital where they first met.

Fionn waited a good 10 minutes on a bench, until he saw headlights pulling up beside the road. He grabbed his bag and stood up walking towards the car opening it and sitting in the passengers side.

The ride was quite but peaceful. It wasn't awkward at all which he was thankful for. They had stopped a mile away from the beach and proceeded to walk through the hilly field heading towards the sand.

Once they had arrived, they sat down and stared at the ocean.

"How come you're out?" She spoke. Fionn shrugged.

"Couldn't sleep, what about you? How come you've stolen your brothers car?" Fionn chuckled making Daisy smile.

"I couldn't sleep either, plus my brother lets me borrow his car, I didn't ask him this time so technically I've stolen it" she laughs.

They chat and laugh for an hour, watching the waves and pointing out things in the distance that created a good conversation.

"Do you ever miss how the way things used to be? Like, when you were a child and Christmas seemed so fun and you were with your family all the time and Christmas music would be good songs to sing around the living room whilst opening presents? And how you'd go trick or treating with your friends and parents and probably go to the pub afterwards" Daisy spoke.

Fionn looked at her and nodded.

"Yeah, I do"

Daisy sighed and looked up at the sky.

"Now everything seems to be going a lot faster, Christmas doesn't feel right anymore, you don't get that much presents, all your family are busy during Christmas so you don't see them as much and Halloween isn't the same because you're apparently too old to go trick or treating, but as you ask your friends if they wanna do it, they say they're going to a party or something which you're not invited too. I miss being young and not worrying about things, I think, the reality is that you'll look back on those memories and smile but your heart suddenly stops and you think, god I'm never gonna be that young again, were never gonna see those days ever again because you only have one life and you're either spending it doing something with it like being a millionaire or you have a job and you're a common person wanting to die" Fionn listens to her words very slowly. He agrees 100% and tears up thinking about it.

"It's crazy how time flies and you never noticed until now and you're so scared" She admits. Fionn reaches over and grabs her hand making her look at him.

"It's okay" He says squeezing her hand.

She smiles.

As they drive back, Fionn still hasn't let go of her hand. He doesn't want to. He finds so much comfort in her that's he's never felt before and he feels loved.

"Here we are" Daisy says stopping outside Fionn's house.

"Thankyou" Fionn says opening his door.

"You're welcome, I'll see you tomorrow at therapy" She smiles. He nods and waves her off as she drives away.

As Fionn climbed back into his room he finally felt tired. He landed on his bed and closed his eyes. A smile appearing on his face.

He was falling for Daisy pretty quickly, and he was loving every second of it.
