Chapter 21
Daisy's POVOf all the people in the world, it just had to be him.Why am I surprised? I've always known fate had a personal vendetta against me. She's always been content to ruin my life just for her own amusement.I pick up my fork and turn my head to the approaching figure to see whether I had imagined him or if I needed glasses. Unfortunately, the figure didn't disappear or change, he kept approaching not looking up from his phone.I don't think he has noticed me yet.There he stood in all his glory, Hunter Stone.I haven't met anyone with as much rotten luck as mine. I had planned to avoid him for the few remaining months that remained for us in High school. Even though I doubt that would be possible with the growing friendship between his friends and my friends.He looked up from his phone and froze in his steps for a few seconds; myriads of emotions passing through his face in the blink of an eye: shock, surprise, a little softness and then anger.Why would he be angry?

Daisy's POV"I'm waiting" she snarls.Is this the same sister Hunter was talking about as if she was an angel? Well, he did mention that she sometimes act like an overbearing mother."Uhmm, yes I am" I answer her question.She scans me from head to toe and then starts to fire me with questions."Do you like kids? What about animals? Who is your favorite Disney princess? Who would you choose between Edward and Jacob? And finally, do you love my brother?" She exhales after she finishes making me start to wonder what the point of this questioning is."Yeah, I do like kids and animals. My favourite disney princess is Tiana from the frog prince. Definitely Jacob and to answer your last question, I..........." I trail off unsure of how to answer.For God's sake Daisy, you just have to say yes or no.I surely don't love Hunter. I don't even like him. Okay the last part was a lie, I think it's time I accept the fact that I have a tiny crush on Hunter."Tiana! Oh, I love The frog prince too! I

Daisy's POVHis face keeps getting closer and my heart's beating speed increases rapidly. I wrap my arms around his neck to support my jelly legs. He touches his lips to mine; just a mere peck and I stand on my tip toes to get more......."Hunter, Mum says it's time to go" Lily suddenly appears and even though she sees the position we're currently in, she keeps standing there smiling.I move away from Hunter very reluctantly and he simply smiles and places a small peck on my cheek."See you at school tomorrow" he mutters before turning around and walking inside leaving me dazed."It worked, it worked! Now phase 2 is in progress" Lily mumbles to herself.When she finally notices she wasn't alone, she lifts her gaze to mine and clears her throat.I fix her with a glare for her earlier lies and give her an expectant look for her to explain herself."It was for a good cause! And besides I ....... You'll never catch me alive!!!" She declares turning around to run inside when she can't fin

Chapter 24
Daisy's POVEveryone goes silent for a few seconds excluding some gasps before everything and everywhere goes hay wire. All these are just mere back ground noises though when Hunter's lips are on mine. I instantly wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back like someone who has been starved of her favorite food for long. He groans into the kiss and then softly bites my lower lip making me moan and providing his tongue the entrance needed into my mouth. He pushes his tongue inside my mouth and I don't even bother to try and control the kiss, I just let him lead.Eventually the need for air wins out and we both reluctantly break apart only to see the whole school staring; some even taking pictures and videos. I immediately feel all the blood rushing to my cheek at what just happened, I've never really seen the appeal in PDA but with Hunter, I just seem to forget everything.And why did he kiss me like that?Was it just to make the engagement that'll be announced tonight look more re

Daisy's POV"It's not what it looks like!" I screech.He turns his mocking gaze to me "Oh, tell me exactly what is going on then?" He asks chuckling bitterly."He was just helping me out" I answer hurriedly having a strange urge to clear the misunderstanding. I'm not supposed to care that Hunter thinks I was about to kiss another guy but I do and I'm desperate for him to understand."Helping you do what? Clean your mouth with his?" He questions sneering and making a move to attack Dean again. I immediately jump between them successfully halting him in his steps."What? No, he was helping me with my eyes" I explain hoping to clarify everything."Because your eyes are just so dreamy he couldn't help but stare" He replies sarcastically and I feel my frustration starting to flare at his rudeness. We aren't even really together for heaven's sake!"I told you...." I start to say before he cuts me off rudely."You know what?! I'm done with this feelings shit and stuff. Thanks for reminding

Daisy's POVSilence.Absolute silence was what occupied the seconds that passed after I did the stupidest thing I've ever done: confess my feelings to Hunter.He finally recovers from the shock and fixes his intense stare on me."You like.......... Say that again" He says his voice taking on a very deep octave."It was a..... I didn't mean......I don't....... Fine. I like you. Go ahead and laugh it out" I answer worked up by the anticipation of his sure rejection.His expression completely changes and he moves closer to me holding my face in both his hands. I melt into his touch instantly and unconsciously take a step closer to him; every single thought flying out of head. I sigh at how familiar yet so different his caress felt this time. His eyes becomes completely fixed on mine except for some occasional moments when his eyes flick to my lips."Daisy, I want ....." He begins to say before a voice that I have strongly come to dislike stops him from completing his sentence and thereby

Daisy's POV"Yeah, And she was the reason" I state.He blinks at me in shock and confusion which slowly mutates to anger."What do you mean by she's the reason?" He asks his jaw clenching hard."I......" I gesture around the bathroom. "This isn't a conversation I imagined ever having in a bathroom" I say and he nods in understanding."Let's get out of here for today" he declares and I nod before what he says kick in."You mean skip school?" I ask and he affirms my question with another nod.In the state I was, I wouldn't even care if he had just told me to pack my luggage and run away to Mars with him.We sneak out of school and he opens the passenger's door for me before entering the car from his side.He drives out of the school compound and I exhale in relief from the growing distance between me and Eve. If I had a chance, I'd never go back to school as long as she was there. Lost in my thought, I didn't notice the car had stopped. I look out the window to see where we are and I se

Daisy's POV"Daisy" I hear my mother call but I was already fading into unconsciousness.The lights flicker on for a minute and my groggy eyes meet my mum's from afar. My mum shouts and calls the security team that followed us to the grocery store.She runs towards us followed by two bodyguards. When she reaches where we were, I was almost out of consciousness. "Let my daughter go, Levi" My mother pleads. I hear a maniacal laughter then feel something cool and sharp like a blade pressed against my neck."Take one more step forward Elena and she's gone" Eve's father says from behind me pressing the blade harder to my neck."Do something" My mother screams at the bodyguards.A bodyguard brings out his gun and shoots the other one before hitting my mother on the head with the back of his gun rendering my mother immediately unconscious. I wanted to scream and thrash my body. I wanted to run to my mum but my body was too weak."You've done a good job Tim, you'll be handsomely rewarded" Ev

Chapter 29
Daisy's POVYou know that feeling where it seems like you don't have the ability to draw air into your lungs anymore? When you feel as if time just stopped and nothing is moving? It seems like in that frozen second, you've suddenly aged a hundred years as a result of disbelief in what just happened? If yes, multiply that by a thousand and that was exactly what I was feeling right now. The echo of the gunshot kept resounding in my ears. Oddly, I don't feel any pain. I look down at my chest expecting to see myself bleeding to death but the sight that meets my eyes when I look down was so much worse.My mother was on the floor coughing out blood clutching her stomach that was bleeding profusely.What just happened finally registers in my brain and I hurriedly bend down; tears blinding my vision.My mother has been shot.My mother took the bullet for me."Mum? Mum? Can you hear me? Mum, please stay with me" I place my mother's head on my lap crying her name repeatedly. Her eyes reflected

Daisy's POVWe stay under the tree for a few more hours. The topic of our conversation later shifted to lighter ones and I can't help but fall deeper for him as I got to know him more with me cuddled into him.This thing going on with Hunter and I didn't have a definition and I had no intention of asking or trying to define it because I'm scared of the answer that reality will bring crashing upon me.He dropped me off at home after school hours and promised to pick me up seven 'o' clock in the evening for the ball.The ball where our engagement will be announced.He then pecks me on the lips making my heart flutter in happiness and contentment. I float happily around the house and I hop into the shower. It's never too early to start preparing.Woah Daisy, Bipolar much? Just yesterday, I wasn't so thrilled about this engagement and now, I was practically flying in giddiness all because of a boy with blonde hair, hazel eyes and a one-cheek dimple.What changed?When I come out of the sh
