The ups and downs

More to it...

*pov of Daisy*
I woke up and thought of him. No not Oli for once since he left last week but him. My brother. My dead little brother. I remember his cute little face. His bright hopeful blue eyes. His light blonde hair. I smiled at memories of him.

He was only five when he died. I was ten. It's been nine years since the last time I held his hand. Nine years since I've heard his voice. Nine years since I've been truly happy.

He died in a car accident. Me, him, and my father all were driving home from my soccer practice when it happened. A drunk driver hit us causing my brother to die on the impact. I broke my femur, I needed surgery but I was fine. My father was fine, as he had a few beers before hand. This was before he became the way he was, yes he drank but he was happy. Well he wasn't mad at the world.

My little brother was the little angel. He kept everyone sane and happy. My mother became a shit mother when he died. He was the favorite but I was happy with that. He was truly perfect. He was my favorite too. He was everyone's favorite.

My favorite memory of him was when he was three. We went to get ice cream at the beach one day. He got strawberry and I got soft serve vanilla chocolate swirl. He ate his quickly, as it was a small scoop, so we shared mine. Then he ended up eating most of it. He was so hyped on sugar. I laughed.

But like all thoughts of him end. It ends in tears. He was my little buddy. My best friend.

When he was born I was so happy. I begged my mom to let me hold him. He smiled at me, at that moment I knew we would be friends. I wonder what life would of been like if he was still here.

Would we all still be in Cali? Who would I of ended up with? Could I of become some sort of soccer star? What would he be like? He'd be 14, he'd be entering high school.

I shook away the memories that brought tears. I got up despite it only being 4 am and got ready for the day. I only had four classes today luckily. Three of which I had with Tyler. He ended up transferring to my Psych class since he wanted to study it. Then my fourth one I had with Josh.

I went on an hour run to clear my head, it ended up being 7 miles. When I got home I showered and threw on a long sleeve dark gray dress with a white scarf. It was getting cold in Washington.

I called Oli," Babe! I've missed you! How has London been?" I heard him chuckle at my excitement," I've missed you more love. It's fine here, I wish you were here. How has university been?" "Fine I guess. Tyler and Josh are playing at a slightly more popular bar tonight so I'm going. Do you have any plans?"

"Oh i wish I could be there. See my other girlfriend for some tea, nothing new." I felt that smirk grow on his face," oh how fun. I'm taking my new boyfriend to the show."  "Hey! I'm your only boyfriend!" He yelled back. I laughed," so you can have another girl but I can't have a guy on the side?" "Nope." He popped the p to annoy me.

I ended the call a half hour later. I miss seeing him. And talking to him. And well him. He was easily like one of my favorite people. Now time to see the other favorite.

Tyler could barely stay in his seat because of his excitement. "Hey, hey Daisy!" He loudly whispered during Psych. I turned around and shushed him. He grunted," you going to my show right?" He asked, I nodded. He made a quiet squeal and continued taking notes.

Soon classes were over and Josh and I were walking to meet up with Tyler. "Hey buddy! Do you guys wanna grab some lunch?" I asked upon seeing Tyler. We all decided to grab some subs, mine being vegetarian of course.

I got ready by putting on a black slightly short dress. I told Oli it was a bar, but it was more of a club situation. I know Tyler can get the crowd hyped.

The three of us arrived and I helped them set up. "Aren't you going to get cold dear?" Tyler asked looking at me," nah. I'll be dancing too much to get cold." He nodded his head and I continued setting up Josh's drums.

The crowed loved Tyler and Josh. I couldn't help but smile. That's my best friend! He's succeeding. What's a nice nice name? Ty? No. T dog? No.

I went over nicknames until I found the perfect one. Bean! Kinda dumb but I'd be like oh my smol bean, achieving his dreams. Yeah that'll work.

"You did so good guys!" I half screamed throwing my arms around them. They were both extremely sweaty, given I was too. We walked home," hey Tyler, I have a new nickname for ya." I said.

"What is it?" I smirked," my smol bean." I said with a big smile. Josh bursted out laughing,"okay I honestly see it though. He's so innocent looking!" Josh spat out. Tyler smiled," I wanna call you something. Like hmm flower girl? No. Hippie? Nah. Flower child!" He clapped his hands together. I giggled. What out world here comes smol bean and flower child!

"Hey Josh we can call you big red!" Tyler exclaimed. Josh rolled his eyes," I'll take it, what if I dye my hair though?" "Well then we'll change it depending on the color." I said smiling. "Okay flower child, that'll work."
