Finally, he's here to see me!

Daisy's pov

Jake took me to my favourite ice cream corner as an apology and we had a good talk. After a long time, I felt like I was really happy. I genuinely enjoyed my time with him. I didn't get time to think about Brandon and I was okay, okay to escape the reality even for a short period of time.

Our conversation went something like this

"So, what did you mean by Aaron's unrequited love? Who is he in love with?" I asked him feeling a pang of jealousy.

"Uh..there's no one, Daisy." He shrugs avoiding eye contact with me.

"Someone must be there when you said like that. Don't lie to me, Jake!" I warned him in my serious tone.

"Trust me, Daisy it's not my place to say this to you. He's the right person and it would be good if he says you first and not me." He said dodging the topic perfectly.

"Anyways, I'm dropping this topic for now but I will get my answers whether you guys like it or not." I asserted confidently.

"As you wish, Hannah montano. Back to Lizz's topic, what are you going to do?" He asks me suddenly turning serious.

"I'll somehow get her to say her feelings. Whether she's still stuck on Aaron or shes open for others. I'll also try to know what she feels for you." I answered honestly.

"Okay, that's fine, I guess. But don't give away my feelings to her. She doesn't need to know this from you." He replied and we both fell into a comfortable silence relishing the cold feeling that the ice cream was providing us.

A few minutes later, he speaks up suddenly lost in his thoughts.

"I don't want to risk the bond we already share, Daisy. If not her love, her friendship is too precious for me."

"I know, Jake and trust me on this when I say that you won't mess this up. Before you guys dive into any relationship if that's possible, I want to make sure with both of you that if the things don't work out, you won't give up on our friendship. I don't want Ron, Luke and me picking sides with you two later."

He agreed to me on this and then we both decided to call it a day and here I am sitting on my bed lost in thoughts.

The main concern in my head is how could I forget Brandon so easily? One second has the most important person for me and the next I forget about him like he doesn't even exist.

Aaron was my only hope, who would get me out of this mess. As close as I am with Jake, I don't want to lose him. I've already seen how Aaron reacted and I think I already lost my amazing friend and I can't afford to lose Jake and Luke too.

Confessing it all to those two, they can flip on me and once things go downhill, I don't have any hope of them getting better.

I don't even know whether Brandon will ever return and losing my friends too wouldn't be taken well by me. It's been a fact that whoever I love walks out as if I never existed.

Luke, Jake, Aaron and Lizz are too dear to me, just like my family. I already lost my dad with my mom, now the person I see daily is just a father who's fulfilling his responsibilities and not a dad. So after him, they're the only family I've left and I don't want to lose them.

Bringing myself out of my thoughts, I get up from my bed tired of trying to fall asleep. I hear a text notification on my phone and I make my way over to my bedside table to fetch the device.

It's a text from Luke in our group chat "UNTOUCHABLES"

Luke: Dee, where were u today? I missed u at lunch. I and Aaron were waiting for u the entire time.

Luke: Neither u showed up nor Jakey n Eliza.

Lizz replied before I could.

Lizz: For god's sake, stop calling me Eliza, you potato.

A smile made it's way on my face reading that text.

Luke: U r one to speak, Eeelliiiiizzzzzaaaaaa.

Lizz: Shut up, Poooootttttaaattttoooooo.

Luke: How was ur date with that jerk?

Lizz: Don't speak about him like that, Luke. I'm warning u.

This was the time for me to step in. Otherwise, they'd chop their heads off through their phones, if that was even possible.

Me: Stop u 2!

Potato, I was out with jakey chain ;)

Sorry, didn't inform u guys.

Luke: It's ok. Ronnie was looking for u.

Reading the last text has my heart beating wildly against my chest. I don't know for some reason I feel my heart going wildly and a mixture of emotions bubbling within me. Aaron, he was looking for me. Last time I met him, I thought he was upset. Then, why was he looking for me?

To take my mind off these things, I shut my phone off and throwing it on my bed, I make my way downstairs to find my solace.

As I open my eyes hitting the final note on the piano, I glance at the clock to realize that I've been here for almost three hours now.

Suddenly I hear someone clear their throat and I snap my head in the direction of the voice only to be shocked by the person standing in front of me.

Leaning against the door frame, he's clad in a white button-down shirt which clung onto his torso perfectly, outlining his toned abs paired with black denim. His hair looks like a tousled mess of ebony.

His eyes are locked in mine while he sheepishly scratches the back of his neck before perfectly rolling my name on his lips, which for some unknown reason gives me a sensation of relief and butterflies erupt in my belly, exciting me.

Finally, he's here to see me.
