Cloud Covered Rainbows

The Day

( Daisy's POV <3 )

I woke up with my head at the foot of my bed and soaking wet sheets. Well shit. I guess I must've had a nightmare or something last night, looks like I move around a lot. And I knew why the sheets were wet, but I didn't think they'd be soaking wet. Did I really cry that much? I guess so.... I sat up in my bed and threw my hair into a quick bun. FOOD! my stomach demanded as I realized I barely ate yesterday. Oops. Can you really blame me though? I couldn't even think straight, so I highly doubt it could've been possible for me to remember to eat. Mmm.... yesterday. Just thinking about it made me want to throw up. Now that I think about it, I didn't really say anything to Skye yesterday, we barely hung out. I didn't mean to take out my feelings on her.... I hope she doesn't hate me. I stood up and began to make my way to make breakfast. On my way to my bedroom door, though, I noticed a piece of paper lying in front of it. I don't remember that being there, where did it come from? I picked up the paper and unfolded it. When I opened it, I saw that it read: 

Hi Daisy. I noticed you've been avoiding me and I heard you crying. I don't know what's wrong, but I want you to know that I'm here for you. If you ever want to talk to me about any problems or anything bothering you, I'm all ears. If the reason why you're upset right now is because of me, I'm really sorry for whatever I did. Please tell me what I did wrong, we've only known each other for a couple of days but I hate to see you sad. I love you,

- Skye 

Fuck. She heard it. She heard me crying. I became frustrated with myself, frustrated that I allowed her to have any reason to be worried about me. I knew I couldn't avoid her now, I would have to talk to her about what happened. I've always hated opening up to people. Mostly because, when I was open, people ignored me and pushed me away. I never really had any friends growing up either, at least not ones that cared. But this wasn't some dumb little children ignoring each other because they ate one of their pretzels, this was more serious. I just hope that I don't make a fool out of myself, and I hope to god that the police don't get called. After I had gotten over the fact that I'd have to open up to Skye, I looked over the letter again. My face quickly turned red and I started blushing uncontrollably. At the end of the letter, Skye had written something. I love you. Surely she meant that purely platonically. Like a " no homo " kind of thing, right? We're close friends, so I can tell you I love you without it being awkward type of deal? What if it wasn't? My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of my stomach rumbling. Oh yeah, breakfast. I went downstairs and turned the stove out. I got out pan and a spatula. Oh yeah, PANCAKES BABYYYYYYYYY!!! I took out the ingredients for the pancake mix and mixed them all together. Once I finished with the batter, I began to pour it on the pan and make PANCAKES!!!!! Pancakes have always made me happy and excited, and when I'm happy or excited, I sing. I don't sing well, but that doesn't stop me from singing. I began to sing Nine In The Afternoon by Panic! At The Disco, and then I started to sing Tear In My Heart by Twenty One Pilots. I was dancing all around the kitchen and suddenly I realized that the pancakes were all done. I used the spatula to shovel all the pancakes onto a plate and then I took out some maple syrup just in case Skye might want to put some on her pancakes. I started singing Collar Full by Panic! At The Disco and suddenly a voice said,

" Hi. " I instantly shrieked and jumped, causing me to slip and fall on the ground.

" Oh! I'm so sorry! " the voice said as whoever it was walked closer to me. I looked up at their face and realized it was just Skye. What a relief!

" Good morning, need some help? " she said as she reached out her hand for me to grab. Our hands interlocked as she helped me up and I felt my face get hot. Oh no... I hope I'm not blushing....

" Thank you Skye, " I said as I gave her a small smile.

" Oh, I made pancakes! Would you like some? "

" Sure, thank you! " she replied sweetly ( is that even a word???? ) I handed her a plate and a fork and then she took a couple of pancakes. We joked around with each other as we ate breakfast and it was like everything was normal again. For the rest of the day we just chilled around the house, watched some YouTube, ate food, and participated in playful banter. 

---------------- Time Skip To Around 7pm --------------------

All day we had been talking and joking around like it was nothing. Like we were little kids who had been friends since birth having a sleepover. But once it started to get later into the night, I realized I couldn't put it off forever. At some point I had to confront Skye about the letter and what happened yesterday and how I felt. That point is now.

" Hey, Skye? " I called to her shyly.

" Yeah Daisy? " she replied in a soft and kind manner. I loved that.

" Um... I've been putting it off all day, but I really need to talk to you about something. It's the letter, "

" Oh, uh, yeah, "  she said awkwardly. Thing is gonna be a fun one.....   " So, as it seems you noticed, I was kind of avoiding you yesterday. And I'm really sorry about that by the way, I didn't mean for it to upset you. But it wasn't your fault, it was mine. " I told her.

" The night that we first met, I think I fell asleep on the couch. But, not just on the couch. In your lap. And I'm really sorry I don't even know how it ended up like that, I really didn't mean to bother you and please don't call the police, I swear I didn't mean anything and I know I was being really stupid when I decided to ignore you, but I thought that it was best to give you some time because I didn't know if you'd call the police or not and once again I'm really sor- " I tried to explain, but ended up rambling. Skye cut me off,

" Shhhhh, Daisy. It's okay, I'm not calling the cops. So, is that night the reason why you ignored me? "

" Yeah.... I'm sorry.... " I said in response, embarrassed about how Skye had to cut me off in order to calm me down. Her voice was so calming, I could listen to it all day.

" That's also why I was crying last night, because I thought you would call the police and I'd be... you know.... executed.... murdered.... tortured...... " I added. Now that I addressed everything in the letter I knew I had to tell her..... if I waited any longer then she might change her mind about calling the police.

" Well, it's all okay now. I won't be calling the cops anytime soon, so rest assured that you're safe. It's okay, we can put this all behind us now and have nice joy-filled days like we had today! " she said with a reassuring smile. It's now or never, I told myself.

" You promise you won't call the cops or anything? Ever? "

" I promise. I'll NEVER call the cops on you, no matter what. Not even if you were a mass-murderer, " she replied in a lighthearted tone. Now is my chance.

" Wait, Skye, there's one more thing I have to tell you, "

" Yeah? What is it Daisy? " Here goes........

" Uh... I um... I think.. I-I think I might...." Come on Daisy, spit it out already! I stuttered as I spoke.

" I th-think I might... like you Skye........ Romantically.... "
