My Best Friends Brother

C H A P T E R•T W O

I wake up the next morning on a bed.

I remember falling asleep on the couch.

I realize that I am on Asher's bed.

I am surprised he gave up his bed for me.

I'm guessing Rachel put hit up to this. She made him give up his bed for the night.

Why else would he let me sleep in his bed?

I get up from the bed and I leave the room and head to that bathroom.

I look in the mirror and I see a mess.

My hair is crazy and my eyes are red from crying.

I have bags under my eyes.

I look tired and feel drained.

I have no energy, not even enough to cry.

I take a shower and get clothes on.

I leave the bathroom and walk towards the kitchen where I hear noises.

Walking in I see Asher cooking pancakes and Rachel drinking coffee.

"Morning"

The two of them turn to me 

Rachel gets up and comes over to me "Daisy, Hey good morning. Do you want some coffee?"

I nod. "Please"

She goes over to make me a cup of coffee.

While she does that I go and sit at the counter.

"Good Morning Daisy. Do you want some pancakes?" 

I look at Asher "I'm good. Thank you though"

Rachel sits back down next to me and hands me my coffee

"Thank you"

I give her a small smile

"How are you feeling?"

I look at Rachel when I answer her "Numb"

They both look at me with pity in their eyes.

I shake my head "No. Don't give me those looks. I don't want your pity"

Rachel looks down at her cup while Asher continues to stare at me.

I sigh. 

"What Asher?" I snap

He looks surprised and taken back at me. I have never snapped at him or anyone else.

I should be surprised at what I did, but I don't. I don't feel anything.

I get up. "Thank you for the coffee Rachel. But I have to get to work. I will see you later"

Rachel gets up "Should you be going to work?"

I nod "Yes. I am fine. I need the distraction anyway."

I hug Rachel "I am fine o.k. I will talk to you later"

I smile at her 

"Hey, where are you going to stay tonight? Because I don't think that you would want to go back to your apartment with Drake there"

I start thinking. She's right. I don't want to go back there. I really don't.

I shrug. "I don't know. I need to get my stuff though. I don't know where I am going to stay. I might go home to mom"

"Why don't you stay here?" Asher buts in.

"No, you guys don't have the room. There are only two rooms here."

"You can stay in my room"

I look at Asher in shock. Rachel is too. He never gives up his room.

"Really?" I say in disbelief

He nods "Yeah. I can sleep on the pull-out couch"

"Okay. But I will take the pull out couch"

"No. I am on the pull-out couch. You get my room. I am not arguing about this. I am not going to take no for an answer"

I sigh "Alright. You guys are sure about this?"

They both nod and say yes.

"Then I guess I am staying here"

We all smile at each other.

"Well I need to get to work"

I grab my purse and put my shoes on.

"Hey, Daisy?"

I turn back to Rachel

"Yeah?"

"Asher and I will get your stuff from Mr. Jackass"

I laugh "Okay. if you want. I will be back around 4 o'clock"

They nod 

"Thank you, guys. Really. I mean it"

I leave and go to work.

I am a manager at this cute little cafe.

I manage it but I also work as a waitress and I work at the cash register.

A little bit of everything.

Rachel and Asher stop by sometimes.

But Drake does as well.

A couple of hours after I start working someone who shall not be named walks in with his slut.

 We are short on waitresses today, so I have to do it.

I grab my notepad and walk over to their table.

"Hello, my name is Daisy. I will be your waitress. Can I get you started with a drink?"

The slut orders her drink while Drake sits there in shock.

"What Drake? Forget I work here?"

I roll my eyes. I was now pissed and angry at him. I am not sad anymore over what he did. But I will forever remember what he did and have trust issues.

He looks down. 

"Are you going to order something?"

He shakes his head no.

I turn and walk away.

I have Irene talk over for me.

I go to my office. I cant deal with this s**t today. I don't want to.

I text Rachel and let her know that Drake was here, so they could get my stuff from the apartment if they haven't already. I let her know where my key is.

She replies with an okay.

I get on with my day and stay in the office working on papers and all the other s**t I had to get done.

5 minutes till closing. I had five minutes and I can leave. I already know that Drake is out there waiting. Irene let me know that he is still sitting at the same table he was at earlier this afternoon.

I told Irene to tell him to leave and to let me know when he was gone. So that I could lock up.

About 10 minutes later She told me that he was gone and sighed with relief.

I grab all my belongings and I lock up and leave the cafe.

I walk out, towards my car.

When I get closer to my car I hear someone call my name. I freeze knowing who the voice belongs to.

I don't turn around and I keep walking to my car.

"Daisy!"

I keep ignoring it.

Someone grabs my wrist and makes me turn around.

I see Drake holding my wrist.

I pull it away and go to leave.

"No! Don't leave. Please"

I shake my head. My emotions were surfacing.

I didn't want to show him what he made me feel. All those bad feelings are coming up.

"No Drake. I am leaving. Let me go"

He shook his head with tears in his eyes.

I don't know why he is crying when he did this to us. He did it. He has no reason to be crying.

"Please Don't leave me. I love you!"

"If you loved me, Drake, you wouldn't have slept with someone else that wasn't me"

He looks down and lets go of my wrist.

"I'm sorry"

"No, your not. You just sorry that you got caught"

I leave him and walk to my car. I get in, start my car, and drive away.

When I get back to Rachel and Asher's house. I just sit in the car for a couple of minutes.

I sit there thinking for a while.

Eventually, I get out of the car and make my way inside.

When I walk in, it was real quiet.

I have never heard this house quiet. It was nice.

I walk to the kitchen and I grab a water bottle from the fridge and I go over to the counter.

I see a note sitting there.

I see my name on it so I read it.

Hey Daisy,

If you are reading this, I just wanted to let you know that Asher and I are grabbing your stuff.

We will be back soon.

Lots of Love,

Rachel and Asher

I smile at the note.

I really love those two.

We all grew up together.

Rachel and I have been the best of friends.

Surprisingly, Asher and I used to be close. We used to talk about everything, but that all changed when I met Drake. 

Then Asher became a d**k to me. He still is. But now, I don't know. I think he might be changing back to the guy I used to know.

I go and lay down on Asher's bed where I will be staying.

I fall asleep right away. I must have been really tired.
