Rollercoaster (Brad Simpson/ The Vamps)

48 // The Package

It has been 4 days since Amanda called me. She hasn't called back and I am starting to feel a little anxious. I stared at the blank screen of my phone, which was on the table.

I picked up the phone and called back the number she previously phoned me on. It rang.

And rang.

And rang.

And rang.

I was about to cut the line when I heard shuffling on the other end.

"Hello?" I said unsurely.

"Daisy?"

"Oh my god, I thought it wasn't you then." I sighed in relief. "My phone died the other day sorry."

"Oh I thought you put it down because I mentioned Brads name." She said.

"No haha." I half laughed. "Are you with them now?"

"Nope they're out, Brad misses you...well of course we all do..." I could almost hear her grinning, "we want to fly you out to LA." I processed this before laughing.

"No...thanks." I said in between laughs but Amanda didn't get the joke.

"What's the joke?" She was serious.

"The joke..is you all left me heartbroken and you expect me to stop my life to fucking fly out to LA and act like happy families." She was about to speak but I continued, "I have a question that's been on my mind for 5 fucking months, can I ask you it?"

The line was silent, only filled with our little breathes, "Why...why didn't you ask me to come? Any of use, all packed your fucking bags without an explanation, why couldn't I come?" I heard the desperation in my own voice but I didn't care, I needed answers.

"I..." Amanda was clearly crying...sobbing even, "I can't tell you."

"That's what I thought." Then I cut the line, she was gone, they all were. I need to move on, forget them all and move fucking on.

*****

"Amanda sounds like she changed fucking hell, what a little bitch! And she was the one crying? Wow."

Sam was always there, my left leg and my best friend.

"Have you been taking your anti-depressants?" I nodded and had a mouthful of the curry.

"Daisy? Have you?" He raised an eyebrow, he knew me inside out.

"No, ok, I haven't."

"I'll get you some." He stood up and the chair scraped against the wooden floor. "Where are they?"

"Kitchen, top draw." I sighed as he fetched them.

SAMs POV

I opened the draw as something fell out, a package. I picked it up and read the black ink that read Daisy's name.

It had a tiny bit of cello tape like something had been ripped off the top, a letter or some kind.

I got a bottle of water out of the fridge as I took the package, tablets and water back to Daisy.

"I found- What?" She was gorping at the brown package in my hand as if a load of memories flooded back to her, her eyes watered as she covered her mouth with her hands.

She instantly stood up and walked over to me, grabbing it out of my hand, "Why did you bring this? Where did you fucking find this?!" She snapped.

"I um-"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to snap. I'm going to go to bed, good night." She hugged me and ushered me out the door before promising to text me later.

Daisy's pov

I traced my fingers over the bumpy packaging as I stared at Brads handwriting. I gulped as I quickly teared open the paper slowly pulling out what was inside.

There was a mini photo framed picture of the very first photo me and Brad took together when we were in bed, the other thing was in a little bag.

I opened it, it was a bracelet. An infinity bracelet with charms on it. It must of cost some money for this Gift I thought as anger grew inside of me.

I thought about how everyone was having fun in LA and I was in London depressed and fed up. I picked up the photo frame and looked at it for a moment, before throwing it at the wall.

It shattered into a million pieces, the photo swung as it hit the floor In front of me. I walked over the stereo, played The 1975 and opened a bottle of red wine.

That was my night.
