*pov of Daisy*
This is it. Concert day. The day that can go one of two ways. Amazing or awful. I'm shaking just thinking about getting on stage and singing. Poor Oliver he has a larger part than me. But he has everything down to a T. Me on the other hand, well let's just say, I sound like a dying goat.Arriving at school I went to my locker and put in my fancy, black, above the knee dress for the concert. I frowned at it and shut my locker, I don't know if I can do this.
I stepped into math class and raised an eyebrow at my seat, some kid was sitting in it. I haven't seen them before maybe they are new or something.
"Hey, I'm sorry but you're in my seat." I tried to not sound like a total bitch, I smiled. "Oh, um I'm uh sorry. I'm new here I thought no one sat here." He frantically tried to get all of his things but dropped everything on the ground causing papers to fly everywhere. The class erupted with laughter.
I felt bad for him I started to pick up the papers and handed them to him. "No worries. I'm Daisy I was new to this school a few months earlier as well, what's your name?" He smiled at me, "I'm Tyler, nice to meet you Daisy."
The teacher interrupted us and Tyler sat in a desk behind me. Math was boring as usual, nothing exciting ever happens in math. Well aside from Mark and I fucking around, maybe Tyler could join us.
I left class and heard rushed footsteps catching up to me, it was Tyler. "Hey Daisy!" He beamed at me. "Hey Tyler, do you need any help getting around?" He nodded his head." I was hoping you'd ask, I have no idea where I'm going." We both laughed.
The day flew by, next thing I was at lunch staring at my sad plate of lettuce. I decided to sit at a table alone, I'm too stressed to talk. I put in my ear buds and exhaled Closing my eyes.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and opened my eyes. I took out an ear bud and saw Tyler. "Hey Daisy, I don't know anyone but you. Can I sit with you?" I smiled and motioned to a seat across from me.
"Do you always sit alone Daisy?" He asked taking about of his burger. I shook my head," no just I'm kinda stressed out and wanted to be away from my friends. That sounds mean doesn't it?" We both laughed. "Why are you so stressed?" "There's a concert tonight that I have to sing in and I'm afraid to fuck up."
He looked at me concerned, "well if you got the part you must be good. I'm coming so I'll be cheering you on from the crowd." He winked at me.I made my way to the bathroom at the end of the day to change for the concert. I was stopped by Tyler," hey I wanted to ask you earlier but can I have your number?""sure, I don't see why not." I gave him my number and he left.

*pov of Oliver*
I started to sweat up a storm, I looked over at Daisy. She smiled at me and squeezed my hand."Good evening everyone! Welcome to the winter chorus concert! I'm very happy to show you all the hard work my students put into this day. To start off there is a duet between my two amazing students Daisy Hope and Oliver Sykes. They will be preforming a song by a band some of you may know called bring me the horizon-" I heard some people gasp in the audience, hopefully that's something good."-it is called Deathbeds. Without further ado here it is!"
Dear God. I walked to my mic and Daisy walked to hers. I could see a look of stress on her face as the music started.
Eyes like a car crash, I know I shouldn't look but I can't turn away, body like a whiplash, I salt my wounds but I can't heal the way I feel about you.
Without a beat Daisy started to sing with me.
I watch you like a hawk, I watch you like I'm gonna tear you limb from limb...
Soon it was over and the audience started to applaud. We got a standing ovation. I felt a smile creep onto my face. Daisy looked like she was going to pass out still, she gave a small smile and basically sprinted off stage."Babe! You did amazing!" She was sitting in the chorus room with her hands in her face. "Oli, I don't know if we heard the same thing." She looked up with tears streaming down her face. My eyes widened, what was she talking about.
"What's wrong the crowd loved us! You sounded like an angelic!" I held her in my arms and felt my shirt getting wet. I looked down and saw blood. So much blood.
I saw a razor in her hands and she was slicing her arms. "WHAT THE FUCK?!??STOP!" I flew up and tried to take the razor from her.
She sprinted to the sound booth and looked the door. She mouthed "I'm sorry." And put the blade to her neck and pulled it across. She collapsed to the ground.
She's dead. Just like that? No this can't be true.
I went to her funeral and cried. It was just me and our friends, well mine now I guess. Everyone was crying. Why would she be so selfish and do this. It must be my fault.
