*pov of Daisy*
I got home with Jason," hey if you feel bad you can have the couch." I slurred in his direction. "Oh I didn't drink I'm okay, thanks though." He went to my kitchen and grabbed something."here I'll put these on your bedside table for hungover you." He smiled and went to my bedroom.Soon I woke up again and started to remember what had happened last night. I shook my head, it was all fucked. My head pounded and I took the aspirin on my bedside table, thanks Jason.
I decided to clean my house, it's only me but it's been a while since I've done it. I cleaned and was left with my mom's room. I opened the door and it looked as if it was ransacked. She did leave me. Bitch.
I put away anything left on her floors, while doing so I found an envelope. It read Daisy, darling I'm sorry but I must go. I hope you do well in life maybe our paths will cross. You no longer need to see your father ever again, so you can be safe. Don't worry about me, just worry about yourself. Always remember to not trust anyone. Not even a boyfriend. With much love, mother. A single tear went down my cheek. Not even a boyfriend, I got stuck on that. Maybe she predicted I'd end up getting heartbroken. Next to the letter there was around 1,000 dollars in cash which was great honestly.
My house was soon smelling of lavender and was freezing but clean. I decided to go on a run and see where it takes me.
After around 6 miles I ended up at an abandoned building, it was once an elementary school I believe or maybe a library. I decided to go inside.
The place was a mess, it was definitely a library. So many books sprawled across the floor, some of them were good books.
I ended up leaving with two books, Broken and The Notebook. Both different but I decided they seemed in good contrition. I also managed to grab Romeo and Juliet which I've read a thousand times but fall in love with it more and more.
I eventually got home and turned on my heat. I cracked open the Notebook and started to read away.
I stopped after a while, it was a good book. I've heard about the movie but decided not to watch it. I grabbed my phone and almost texting Oliver, but I remembered what happened and stopped.
I got a call from a random number, "Hello? Who is this?" I questioned," Doesn't matter, but must be sad for you. Your true love doesn't love you. He slept with me." I stopped. It must be the whore." What the fuck do you want whore, why the fuck did you sleep with my boyfriend?" "Well he kissed me first and we'd been talking before. What a charmer he is I must say. So I decided why not?" "You still have no right to ducking do it skank!" I yelled into the phone." Well I'm sorry, well I'm not he's so good in bed. Have you two slept together yet? Probably not. I heard you were raped so I guess maybe he doesn't want to be with someone who has been tainted. Sad but reasonable, don't you think?" I started to cry," It's fine I don't even care. I guess I expected it to eventually happen." I smiled through my tears." Oh well I'm- i just wanted to say I didn't know he had a girlfriend until after we slept together." "Oh, well then you didn't know. He knew, fucking asshole." I could hear the tone in her voice turn empathetic," I'm truly sorry, I thought you'd be some bitch but you sound kind, you loved him I can tell."
The phone call ended half an hour later, she never told me her name but she seemed genuine at the end. She did give me pity, I guess she thought I was some whore or something. I didn't have much to do anymore. I needed a friend though, that's for sure.
Melanie came over as fast as she could with orange sorbet, my favorite and 28 weeks later, also my favorite. We plopped in the movie and ate some sorbet, this is what I needed.
After a while we ended up just talking about anything, mainly about her and Mark. "He seems like such an amazing boyfriend Mel! He's a keeper for sure!" I exclaimed," he is honestly. I think I love him." A smile spread on my face," I'm so happy for you!" She smiled too.
Melanie spent the night but left early in the morning to ride to school with Mark, ugh that reminds me I have school too. I sat up from the couch and saw it was only 5:38. I decided to look nice today.
I ended up in a long sleeve grey dress with a white scarf, I put on some grey converse to match. I threw my hair into a messy bun and put on some mascara and eyeliner with a dash of red lipstick.
I had no cross country anymore but winter track began in a week which was exciting for me. I loved doing the mile, it was so fun. I grabbed my bag and began to walk to school. I had an hour until school started so I grabbed some coffee and one for Tyler since I decided to text him and he wanted a caramel frappe. Myself I enjoy back coffee.
School wasn't too bad today, at lunch I sat with Tyler and Jason, I didn't want to see Oliver and he seemed to not mind that. "Ugh! My life is so annoying y'know?" Tyler and Jason tilted their heads," how so, is it that time of the month?" Tyler asked," thankfully no, just work and being a good friend to my friends is hard honestly." We all laughed.
Soon it was last period Spanish class and I sat down next to Chris feeling miserable. "Hey hon, are you okay?" I shook my head and opened my notebook to write down notes.
