The ups and downs

The job

*pov of Daisy*
I put on a sweater dress and put my hair in a fancy bun, I was going to go apply for a job at the restaurant I found last night; I needed to look nice.

I got to the place in 20 minutes on my bike, not too bad at all.

"Hello I'm Daisy and I'm here for the open waitress job." I gave my best fake smile at the hostess who looked to be my age. She nodded and went to get the manager.

Soon I was sat down and was I interviewed right there. I ended up getting the job and I'll be starting Tuesday, which gave me a day to mentally prepare. Thankfully we had winter vacation at school and won't be back until the 3rd of January so I could get quite a few hours in.

My day went by slowly and painfully boring. Just how I like my days.

Hey friend! Are you okay? I'm coming over to check up on you. Be there in 5:) Tyler texted me, im fine, see you then :) I quickly got up and decided to make cookies.

Soon a knock came at my door. "Come in!" I yelled from the kitchen. Tyler came in with a little basket that had candy and a cute stuffed bear. He looked at my face a cringe a little.

"Oh come on I'm not that ugly!" I joked with him. "I didn't realize that the fucker, well fuckers, did that much damage to you. Thankfully you are still drop dead gorgeous." I smiled "awe thanks Tyler, I needed to hear that. I'm making cookies right now as you can see, so you are welcomed to help."

Soon Tyler and I were sitting at the table eating cookies and drinking hot chocolate. "I just wanna say thank you for checking in on me I really appreciate it." "Of course! I care about you! Even though I've only known you for a couple of days." We both laughed. We had bonded rather quick with each other.

Soon I popped in Jaws which reminded me of Oli, it's his favorite. Tyler rubbed his hands together and I sat next to him. The movie soon started.

"Thank you so much for coming again, and for the cute little basket." He smiled at me "no problem, we'll see you soon!" I hugged him and he left. It was only around 6 pm, I decided to watch Jaws 2 which Oliver also loved.

I fell asleep and woke up around 2 am," ugh" I shut off the tv and checked my phone, no new messages. I kind of hoped Oliver would text me, maybe he doesn't want to be with me. I frowned and went back to sleep I'll worry about it later.

I woke up at 9 and made myself some coffee, I love the smell of coffee. Coffee made me think of Oliver maybe I'll text him.

Heyyy Oliver! How's my boyfriend doing? Have they released you yet? Text or call me xoxox I sent it and went to take a shower.

I came back and saw I got a new message. You have used up all of you data for the month. It will be deactivated until the 24th. Great not my boyfriend just my phone company.

I walked back in my room to look for clothes I chose a black sweatshirt that had a white outline of a heart on it with some black leggings.

I put my hands in the pocket and felt metal. I slowly pulled it out, razors. I haven't seen these since I used to- never mind. I looked at it and got a sudden urge to cut. I rolled up my uncut arm and pulled the blade across it. A rush of relief came over me, I went and cleaned off my arm.

I put put on some running clothes and went on a run, I needed to clear my head. Despite having a concussion, I didn't give a shit, I just ran. I ran all the way to Matthews house which is around 6-8 miles from my house. Why here I don't know.

I knocked on his door, soon a sleepy looking Matt answered the door. I forgot it's only 11:30, I must of woken him. "Hey Matt I'm sorry if I woke you I just need to talk to someone."

"No it's fine, come in. Wait did you run here with a concussion? That's bad." I laughed "well I mean I'm already fucked up why not get fucked more?" He laughed at my statement.

I only stayed until 1 then he drove me home and I was alone again. I checked my phone, still no messaged from Oliver. What the fuck is up his ass.

I hopped on my bike and rode to his house, all the cardio better pay off.

I got to his house and knocked on the door. His brother Ben answered the door. " Hiya Daisy!" "Hey Ben, is Oli home?" He nodded and led me to Oli's bedroom. I knocked on the door and Oli grunted "be right there!" Soon I was greeted by a half naked Oliver.

He looked like he'd seen a ghost, "oh un hi." He let out. "Sorry I just wanted see how you were doing", I looked at his bandaged arm. "I'm okay, I promise," he pulled me into his room" how are you? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just got back from Matt's I just needed to vent to someone ya know? And I didn't want to bother you so it was him." He nodded and walked over to his bed and motioned for me to sit next to him.

"Tell me the truth, I know you are not fine Daisy." I looked in his eyes and I could feel tears trying to escape mine. I basically threw myself into his chest and bawled my eyes out.

He gently put his hand on my head and started to sing Deathbeds. Next thing I knew I feel asleep like that. In his arms a place where I feel safe
