Chapter Six

Luke POV

I wasn't able to concentrate. Heck, I want to run out of here. I was thinking about her. She was definitely not good but as the Daisy she is, would never tell anyone what she is suffering.

Is she okay?

Did it happen because of that incident?

Yes. I will kill that Michael guy the day I find him.

The images of the incident started playing in my head. The pang in my chest increasing with every burning thought.

She was so.. so hurt.

The tears in her eyes just make me so damn furious. I clenched my jaw and the pen in my hand.

" Mr. Jackson, care to explain?"

I glanced up to see the professor glaring at me. Waiting for an answer.

" Stand up and explain!"

I stood up from my seat, took my belongings and went straight outta there.

I heard voices laughing and shouting behind my back. I give no shit. I definitely know he will make me call my parents and as usual, I will get a lecture or two and then even they will give no damn about it later.

Heck of a life.

I thought of checking upon Daisy. I think she is in Literature or something. I want to see her.

Damn! Keep down your emotions, will you?

There are only 15 minutes left and the bell will ring.

I don't know why I can't talk much in front of her. I am a heck of a social guy but my words just don't come out. She just has a different kind of influence on me. I hate it when someone else talks to her even if she's with that clingy bitch of a friend. She seems to open up to her. I want to be the one she opens up to.

I sighed and walked towards the front ground. I sat under a tree and opened up the packet of the cigarette I had in my bag. Just as I was about to lit it, I recalled Daisy's voice telling me to throw it away and lecturing about its consequences.

A smile turned my no emotion frown upward. I threw the cigarette I had in my hand and the packet along with it. In the dustbin of course.

I am whipped.

I heard bell ring from the corridors. I quickly got up and made my way towards the parking lot.

" Hey, Luke! Wait up."

I turned around to see John rushing towards me.

" I searched for you everywhere, where were you?"

" Just sitting under that tree over there."

" Bro, you are dead! Why did you run out of the class? Prof was so pissed."

Walked. Walked out of the class.

"Like I care. Let him do whatever he wants to."

" Well, he is calling you to the office."

"As expected."

I made my way to the corridors but stopped dead in my tracks. I clenched my teeth and made my way towards him.

" What the fuck are you doing here and what the hell did you do to her?!"

He smirked.

" We meet again, Jackson."

I seriously want to wipe that smirk out of his face. I took in the scene. Daisy was unconscious, her body weak and pale. I snatched Daisy out of Michael's hand. I walked away and placed her gently in my car and closed the door leaving the a/c on.

I walked towards him and pushed him hard.

" If I see you around her again, you know what will happen next Michael. Leave her alone and get the fuck outta here." I spit

" Calm down, will you? You are gaining attention all over here. Look at how many people are gathering here for smelling a show."

" Like a fuck I give! Get the fuck outta here or you won't be able to." I threatened.

" Possessive much?" He smirked again.

" The beating wasn't enough last time, was it? Get. The. Hell. Out. Of. Here it's the last time I am warning you!"

" Okay, okay dude, calm the fuck down. I wasn't hurting her or something. She collapsed and I just helped her out."

" Who asked you to help? No one needs your damn help. I am here to help her now get lost."

If he doesn't get out of my sight in a second I might pounce on him.

" Going." He turned towards the exit.

" But this isn't over Lucas." He smirked and left.

All I see was red. Why the fuck did I let him go? My hands were itching to beat him.

" The show's over guys. You can go." I heard John shout.

I made my way towards the car.

" Tell that punk I won't be coming now to the office I have things to deal with."

" Sure thing." John laughed.

I rolled my eyes and sat in my car and made my way towards the hospital.

I glanced back to see Daisy still unconscious. She was hella pale. I started getting worried and paced towards the hospital.

I quickly carried her inside and asked the nurse to call the doctor. Mrs. Potter came towards me and hurriedly asked one of the nurses to take care of Daisy.

" What a surprise Luke. I am seeing you after 2 years in this hospital."

I rolled my eyes " Yeah doctor, nice to meet you too."

" Your girlfriend looks really pale, what happened to her?"

You wish.

" Isn't this your job? How would I know what happened to her."

" Dumb of an idiot like before." She took in a deep breath.

"Mr. Johnson, what did you notice when you last saw her. Did she mention you anything what she was feeling or where was it aching?"

" Oh. She was having a headache and she fainted."

She nodded and checked Daisy's eyes.

" Lack of food, lack of glucose in her body, lack of sleep, not specific nutrients. How nice of a boyfriend you are." She glared at me.

" First of all, she is not my girlfriend and second, I didn't know she was skipping meals and all. Trust me, Potter, you know better than to blame me. And I care about her and it won't happen again."

She looked at me and raised a brow.

" Fine" she sighed. " I will give her immune injection, and here" she scribbled something on paper, " are some medicines, give her 2 times a day after 1 hour taking a meal. And I don't want to see you next time with her here."

"What do you mean?"

" If I see her in this condition again in my hospital, trust me, Luke, you will be dead."

" Whatever, Doc! It. Won't. Happen. Again."

" She may be awake after some time or it can take hours, depends on her immune. Now, Is she bothered with something? Or having depression?"

" I guess she is bothered. It was some incident and she got hurt. What do you suggest?"

" Don't let her overthink. Make her have a proper diet. And be by her side and help her get out of any sort of trauma. Help her out, will you Luke?"

" What dumb of a question it is. Of course."

" Does she has nightmares?"

" I don't know."

She sighed. " Okay. Now go. And call her parents, they may be worrying about her."

" Sure thing."

I won't tell her that I don't have their numbers. She will kill me. I will call that Tank or whatever her name is.

Shoot! I don't have her's too.

" What are you thinking about?" She asked.

" I- um- don't have their number."

" Anyone's? Her friends?"

" I will see."

" Fast."

I called John.

" You have Taniya's number?"

" Yeah, dude. I will send it to you."

After receiving, I quickly called Taniya.

" Hello?"

" Taniya, it's me, Luke. Have Daisy's parents know that she is with me."

" Um- okay."

I quickly hung up.

" Can I take her with me?"

" You can take her after a few hours."

" Okay."

I headed out as Potter insisted on checking her. I sat on the sofa outside and after some time, I saw Potter come out and agreed to take Daisy home. 

I took Daisy with me at home. I can't drop off her at her house as I know and expect her family to ask hundreds of questions which I purposefully want to avoid. I'll tell them later. 

I carefully carried Daisy towards my bedroom and placed her on the bed. I sat on the sofa and   I sat on the sofa which was at the corner. I glanced at her. She looked pale but still had that captivating features. Now that I look at her more, the more beautiful she gets.

My eyes started getting heavier and I drifted off to sleep.

Daisy POV

I was feeling alone & different. I didn't know where I am. What's this place? Dark but a spot of odd light from above. The light falling only in one place. Me.

I found myself tied to the chair. I can't move. I struggled but the more I struggled the harder the ropes cut through my skin.

Suddenly, I felt a presence. Behind me.

The hair on my neck stood up. The vibe that the presence had was scary.

Something touched the side of my shoulder. I glanced at my left and screamed.

Blood coated hand. The blood continuously dripping and falling on my leg.

My sleeve was turned red. The blood smelled fresh. My body started shaking uncontrollably. I didn't dare to turn back to see who it was.

Then that hand slid up to my cheek. Making me cringe. My cheek made a horrible contact with blood making it wet and warm. I was so scared. I want to go to my home. Get out of here. I want my best friend and my family beside me. Tears made there way making blood on the cheek flow down with my tears. Where am l? I want to go back.

I slowly tilted my head at the side and slowly looked up and made eye contact. I became stunned. My body stopped shaking. All the color drained from my face. My soul almost left my body.

He was covered in blood. Whole body. His face felt familiar. He looked scarier than anything I have ever seen.

With every pile of strength, I asked.

" Wh-who are you?" My voice barely came out as a whisper. He said nothing but laughed at my expression. He stopped laughing and looked at me, his eyes getting darker and darker.

He wept some blood from his face. Now his face some visible. His blue eyes flickering with blood inked eyelashes. Huge smirk making a way towards his lips. He looked at me up and down ready to savor my flesh.

I knew that I always feared this guy.

I wanted to get out of here. Away from him. Away from Luke.
