The ups and downs

Freak

*pov of Daisy*
I ran my fingers over my scar. F-R-E-A-K. It was still prominente and not nearly as faded as I want it to be. This is probably why I haven't wanted to have sex. I feel like if someone sees it it'll be a major turn off.

I looked at the time 5 am, I sighed mine as well go to bed now. I crawled in next to Oli. He smiled, "hi love, I was wondering when you'd join me." I smiled too," meh I wasn't really tired. But I wanna cuddle so, yeah." He opened his arms and I laid in them.

He started to kiss my neck, I turned around and kissed him. He began to kiss me harder. He got on top of me and pinned me down lightly.

He started to take off my shirt, my heart sped up. "Are you ready?" He asked through each breath. He pulled away and smiled at me. My shirt was off and he looked down at me, then some concern grew.

He placed his finger on the letters, F-R-E-A-K. "Wh-what the fuck is this?" He asked slightly horrified. I swallowed my tears," it's nothing." "Are you mental? These are cuts. Did you-did you do it to yourself." I shook my head," who the fuck did it to you then?" I could feel tears swelling on my face. I always hated my past.

"Well some bullies back from when I lived in Cali. I was 13, clearly time doesn't heal all wounds." I smirked a bit at my pun. Oli put his head in his hands, and this is how I'm going to loose him.

He looked at me," you are not a freak love. You are perfect. Those kids were probably self conscious about themselves that's all." I laughed," well I mean they probably were but I was a rather different kid. Given I listened to bands like well yours and linkin park and stuff like that. They liked picking on me, I mean I deserved it. They found out I was abused and basically loved it. They did this because well I stood up for myself. I told them to fuck off and this was my punishment." A warm tear slide down my cheek.

"Now you know why I didn't want to do anything. I didn't want you to find it." He caressed my face," I'm sorry. I was picked on too, but not to this extent. You didn't deserve any of it." He lightly kissed the scar. "And it's good to be different." He smiled and we ended up cuddling until we woke up.

Soon a week passed and I had to start college. Ew. But also yay, since it was a new start for everyone. I sadly left Oli and walked to my first class. Anatomy.

The teacher was a spunky old man who asked us to call him by his first name, Fred. Everyone looked just as nervous as I did.

I went to all my other classes, I had mainly guy teacher. My only girl teacher was my psychology teacher, Mrs. Andrews.

I decided to stroll around campus to maybe find some friends. I saw a few people I recognized from school, none of them friends but I've seen them. They recognized me too and smiled. I smiled back and continued walking.

I saw this one guy playing the ukelele, I decided to approach him. "Hey you play nice my name is Daisy!" The guy turned around and it was, Tyler? His face lit up as he threw his arms around me," OMG ITS DAISY!" He screamed in my ear. "OMG ITS TYLER!" I yelled right back.

I learned all about what has been going on with Tyler. He had a roommate named Josh who played the drums. They both were thinking of making a band. "I think we should be called Twenty One Pilots." He said sipping his coffee. I smirked,"so who will be the nineteen other pilots?" He rolled his eyes at me," haha very funny."

I was very happy. Tyler was here, legit the only friend I'll ever need. He promised he'd Introduce me to Josh soon. I was excited for that. Anyone who is a friend of Tyler was a friend of mine I exclaimed.

I walked through my front door and heard nothing. I saw a large empty box on the ground. I then walked behind the wall and saw the mattress and box spring has come, great. "Oli?" No response. He's probably off doing something.

I walked by the large box again and an arm reached out and pulled me in causing me to yelp. Oli was grinning inside the box," welcome to my lair." He said giddily. I laughed.

"Oh I went grocery shopping, I went to a place called Whole Foods. And oh boy was it like a wonderland. So much vegan food!" He said ecstatic. "That was so nice of you! And I love Whole Foods! Isn't it just amazing?"

Oli and I ended up making this stir fry thing and talking all night. I always enjoy talking, he let me tell him about my day. And then him about his. Also I told him about Tyler and his band.
