twenty three - home

      “Welcome home, sweetie.”

      I walked in through the front door, taking in the smell, the sight, everything. I haven’t been here in so long, I almost forgot what it was like.

      “Thanks, Ma.”

      I stood in the foyer and, believe it or not, I was afraid to go home. I was afraid that everything might start back up again if I go back up to my room and go on to live the life I was leading before.

      It was incredibly terrifying.

      “Daisy.”

      I felt this strange feeling; I felt my heart jump in my chest at the way my name rolled off of his tongue, and I spun around to face where it came from.

      He was standing in my front door, out of breath, and he smiled this breathtaking smile... it felt like home to me.

      So, without hesitation, I ran in to his arms and hugged him with all of my might. I remember crying, and I remember him wiping my tears away.

      But mostly, I remember kissing him for the first time and how it felt like fireworks were exploding and he tasted like apples.

      “I love you, too, Niall; and I accept.”

      I was finally home.

THE END.
