My Best Friends Brother

"Daisy"

"Wake up"

"Daisy Wake Up"

I was shaken awake. I rub my eyes and yawn.

I look up and see Rachel.

"Hey. How long was I out?"

"I don't know. Asher and I just got back with all your stuff. Drake ended up coming back a couple of minutes before we left and threw a tantrum. "

I smile remembering all the times he threw a tantrum over the stupidest things.

Then I frown. Every time I hear his name or think about him, all I see or hear is him cheating on me.

Nothing else. I can NEVER forgive him.

I will NEVER forget it either.

I get up from the bed and go to the bathroom.

After doing my business, I go to the living room. I see my bags and some boxes.

"How much of my things did you get?"

"Anything that I thought was important or you would want to keep. There might have been some clothes that I left behind, mostly because as I went to go grab them, Drake walked in and I did not want to deal with him. I would have broken his nose. And maybe his d**k"

I laugh. I can see them both wanting to punch him. I mean I do too.

I sit on the couch and I start looking through everything that was there.

I think they got everything that I would have grabbed.

"Hey, thanks for getting my stuff and letting me crash here"

Asher sits next to me and gives me a side hug. "You are always welcome here. You are family"

I smile and lean into his side. He is comforting me, just like he did before Drake.

"I miss this"

He kisses the top of my head and then lays his head down on top of mine. "I miss this too. I'm sorry for being a d**k to you. You didn't deserve it. Drake did though"

I smile and laugh. Remembering all the times that Asher was a jerk to Drake. I always wondered why he was so mean to Drake. Now I can guess why. Because he cheated on me. I can't think of another reason why.

"Hey Asher"

"Hmm"

"Why were you so mean to Drake?"

"Because he cheated on you. I can sense a cheater a mile away and I sensed it in him"

I nod "Ohh"

*Asher's POV*

That is only part of the truth. But not the whole reason.........

**** a week later****

(Back to Daisy's POV)

It has been a week since I moved in with Rachel and Asher.

Life has been great. I have had no run-ins with Drake or his slut.

The three of us are going to Mom's house. Their family will be there too.

I get up out of bed and I grab clothes from my bag. I have a small section of clothes in the closet as well as the dresser. But for the most part, it is mostly Asher's clothes. 

For a boy, he has a lot of clothes.

I always tease him about that.

I go and take a shower and I get ready

I walk into the kitchen and I pour myself a cup of coffee. I was now waiting on Asher and Rachel.

Asher and I have been getting closer that past week. We are slowly becoming best friends again.

He was still teasing me but they were nice teasing. He wasn't being mean.

"Morning"

I turn around to see Asher walk in.

He always looked handsome.

I remember having a crush on him growing up. But then I met Drake.

"Good Morning. How did you sleep?"

I felt terrible that he had to sleep on the sofa.

"Fine. Daisy, I am fine with sleeping on the couch. I really don't mind at all. Okay?"

I nod and give him a smile.

He walks over pours himself a cup of coffee and stands next to me.

He hugs me and I hug him back.

We stand like that for a couple of minutes. I could get used to this. I think that my crush is coming back. But I am nowhere ready for another relationship. I mean my first relationship went down the drain, so I am sure that the rest of them will too.

I sigh and pull back. I go back to drinking my coffee.

He drinks his coffee as well.

"Hey is Rachel ready yet?" I say to Asher who shook his head in response

Might as well sit while I wait for her.

I sit on the couch and surf i********: for a while.

"Ready"

I turn my head and see Rachel.

I get up from the couch and I grab my keys.

"We are taking my car"

The other two nod and follow me out to my car.

My baby.

We get in, and I start to drive us towards mom's house.

Pulling up to the house, I park and they get out of the car. I was kind of nervous. I have yet to tell them that Drake and I are through. That he cheated.

I get out of the car and I lock it.

Walking up the steps to the door, Asher puts his arm around me, to comfort me, sensing that I was nervous.

Rachel opens the door and yells out that we were here.

I take my shoes and jacket off and leave them by the door.

I walk to the living room with Asher following me.

I see dad sitting on the couch with Mr. Matthews. Rachel and Asher's father.

I hug my dad and sit by him.

"How are you sweet pea?"

I smile at dad "I'm alright."

"Uh oh. What's wrong? I know by the way you said it, that something is wrong"

I look down at my hands. Asher sits next to me for support.

"Last week I found Drake cheating on me. "

I look back up at him and Mr. Matthews. I can see the anger on their faces.

"HE WHAT!!??!"

I jump at the loud noise dad let out. He jumps up and walks towards the door.

I start to panic. "No DAD. Leave him alone. I just want to forget it. Please let it go. Please"

He was shaking with anger. 

He stood there for a minute. But in that minute I hear someone walk into the room.

"What is with all the yelling?"

I turn and see mom standing there with Mrs. Matthews and Rachel behind her.

I shake my head and look down at my hands.

"I WILL TELL YOU WHAT IS THE MATTER! THE PIECE OF s**t THAT WAS DATING OUR DAUGHTER CHEATED ON HER."

Mom gasps. "What!! "

I look back up. "Can we move on from this topic please?"

Dad shakes his head. "No, we can't. I am going to kill that stupid asswhole."

I had enough. I didn't want to talk about it and no one was listening.

"STOP TALKING ABOUT IT! YES, HE CHEATED AND YES I FOUND HIM IN THE ACT BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP MAKING ME THINK ABOUT IT! IT IS MAKING ME RELIVE IT AND I DONT WANT TO!! SO STOP!"

I turn around and leave the house.

I run down the road and go into the nearby forest. There is a treehouse that Asher and I found when we were younger. I haven't gone there in a long time.

Walking up to the treehouse I smile. I can remember all the times when Asher and I would play here.

I climb up and go inside. It looks like someone remodeled it.  

It looks amazing. I open the fridge and I see food.

"Do you like it?"

I shriek and turn around. I find Asher behind me.

"How did you know that I was going to come here?"

"I didn't. I just hoped you did. I was going to bring you by here someday and show you how I remodeled it."

"I love it"

I look around some more and I turn to look for Asher and I see him sitting on the couch.

I sit next to him.

"I texted Rachel to let her know that I found you and not to worry. As well as that we will be back at some point."

I smile. I lean against him and he wraps his arm around me.

I sigh happily.

This is where I want to be for the rest of my life. I knew it all along, but I thought that it wasn't an option, but now I am single. 

I don't think that he likes me but I could try. I won't now because I still need to heal from what Drake did.
