Rollercoaster (Brad Simpson/ The Vamps)

47 // Not Happy?

"So you changed your mind last minute?" I could see the sympathy in Peyton's eyes, I picked up the glass of wine in my hand and sipped it.

"Yeah, I felt so stupid and childish but I couldn't do it." I bowed my head in shame. Peyton put her hand over mine.

"Don't be stupid! You've got your boutique which is doing great and your new apartment is amazing and your seeing someone aren't you?" I nodded.

"Sam, he's called Sam, I've been seeing him for 2 months but I don't think it feels right." I took another sip before continuing. "I know, I should be grateful about everything but...I'm just-"

"Not happy?" She finished my sentence and I nodded.

"And I'm hardly going to judge, you split up with your boyfriend 5 months ago and him including your bestfriends left you and toured another country without inviting you."

I was shocked. My mouth was open wide and I was just staring at the woman sat infront of me like she wasn't human.

The thing was, She was right.

***

1 incoming call.

"Hello?" I said into the phone as I finished folding the rest of the laundry.

"Daisy?" it took 30 seconds for me to recognise the voice that was on the other end. "Daisy?" She repeated.

"Speaking." I didn't want to seem like I remembered them crushing me, I wanted them to think I didn't have time to sit and remember their voices and memories. That I was happy.

"Dais...Hi, how, how are you?"

"Who's this?" I held my breath after I said it, instantly regretting it. I knew who it was and I knew they were crushed by my words, oh well.

"Amanda, Daisy, it's Amanda." It was clear she was hurt, crushed.

"Oh," I poured a cup of coffee and sat on the breakfast bar, "How did you get my new number?"

"A hi would be great, I'm fine thanks for asking," I rolled my eyes, "Jess emailed it me."

"Oh, okay." I knew I was being blunt and horrible but pay back is a bitch.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine thank you, great actually," I breathed down the speaker, "My life's great." it wasn't.

"I'm calling to tell you something because even though we've not spoke I need to tell you that Brad-"

The line cut dead, I looked at the swirling circle in the middle of the black screen, shit.

Do I need to know what she was going to say? Maybe it was going to hurt me even more. I charged my phone and turned the TV on continuing my boring, unhappy life.

Around 50 minutes later when I was half way through another episode of orange is the new black the door bell rang.

"Sam?" I was shocked to see the man on my door step with a bunch of flowers and some flower shaped chocolates.

"Hey, I thought you could use a friend." He flashed his charming smile as I stepped to the side to let him enter.

As we sat down on the sofa he handed me the flowers and chocolates, "For you." I smiled.

"Thank you, thank you so much, I'll go and put them in a vase, do you want a glass of wine?"

"Please." He smiled as I dashed into the kitchen to retreat the wine.

"Go on," he said when I returned, I looked at him like a lost puppy, "What's happened? why you unhappy?" Sam could read me like a book.

Me and Sam aren't dating. We are very close friends who have been since high school, he's loving and I only knew he was in London 3 month ago.

"You told her we were dating?" He chuckled.

"Well, yes, but only because I always feel her pity me, like I'm some unhappy depressed who's trying to cover her problems with work." I took a big gulp of wine and looked away.

"So you are unhappy? Depressed? Why haven't you told me?" He put his hand over mine and I sadly looked into his big chocolate eyes.

"I got diagnosed last week, I couldn't go to your sisters wedding because I had an appointment with a doctor." I was ashamed of myself.

"Dais, come here." He squeezed me and I let out a silent cry. I was weak, and everyone knew why. He broke me.
