This is a DaisyXSpiderleg songfic! The song I used was 'All You Had To Do Was Stay' by Taylor Swift. Hope you like it!
People like you always want back
The love they gave away
People like me want to believe you
When you say you've changed
Daisy padded out of camp. She continued walking on until she reached the lake. Daisy often visited the lake, as it was the only place besides camp where she felt safe and secure. With a sigh of relief, she sank down on the damp grass. She looked out at the frozen lake. Daisy took a deep breath and closed her eyes. It felt so good to get away from everyone who drives you up the wall! She felt especially glad to get away from her ex, Spiderleg, who decided to dump her after she had his kits. Daisy opened her eyes again and turned to the sound of rustling of leaves. A long-limbed black tom was padding to her.
"What to you want, Spiderleg?" Daisy said coldly.
"I...I want to get back together, Daisy. Dumping you was a huge mistake." Spiderleg stammered.
"Oh my Starclan! He wants to get back together! With us!" Happiness screamed in Daisy's head.
"Say yes! Look how handsome he is!" Love sighed.
"But he rejected us," Sadness sobbed.
"We hate him!" Anger yowled. "Let me take over!" Daisy decided to let Anger take over.
"You really think-"
"Daisy, you've got to listen! I've changed since the last time we were together!" Spiderleg said. Daisy grew quiet, but her emotions were louder than ever.
"See, Anger? He's different now! We should get back together with him!" Love screamed happily.
"What if he's lying and he takes advantage of us again?" Sadness cried.
"He's not lying!" Happiness yelled. "We're believing him!" Happiness took over.
"Spiderleg..." Daisy murmured. "I believe you have changed,"
The more I think about it now
The less I know
"Happiness! Think about this!" Timidity said quietly.
"Timidity is right! What do we actually know about this tom?" Suspicion chimed in.
"We know that he's a cold blooded player!" Anger yowled. Happiness stopped.
"Anger..." she mumbled. "Take over."
All I know is that you drove us
Off the road
"But I cannot trust you!" Daisy said angrily. "You are unable to love me the way I loved you! Keep in mind, Spiderleg, that you ended this." Daisy turned and ran away into the trees.
Hey- all you had to do was STAY
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then
Why'd you have to go and lock me out
When I let you in
"Daisy! Wait!" Spiderleg cried out desperately and ran after the cream colored cat.
"You had me wrapped around your tail, Spiderleg! But you had to lock me out when I needed you most! I needed all the help I could get when raising our kits, but no, you just had to dump me right then!" Daisy yowled to Spiderleg.
"I really love you, Daisy!" Spiderleg said, his voice cracking.
Hey- now you say you want it back
Now that it's just too late
Well, it could've been easy
All you had to do was STAY
"It's too late for that!" Daisy screamed. "This love could've been easy! This love would've been amazing! I actually thought that a clan cat loved me! Me of all the clan cats! But I know you're just a player, you jerk! Was I just not good enough for you?"
"Daisy, please!" Spiderleg begged. "You're beautiful, smart, and a great mother! I really care about you!"
"If you care about me, why did you dump me?" Daisy cried, tears flying from her eyes. She ran faster, out of Spiderleg's earshot. She continued running until she ended up by the lake again. She took a sharp right into a bramble bush.
Here you are now
Calling me up
But I don't know what to say
I've been picking up the pieces
Of the mess you made
"Daisy?" Spiderleg called from far away.
"Fox dung!" Daisy cursed and kicked her legs, trying to free herself from the brambles.
"Daisy?" Spiderleg called again. He saw Daisy in the brambles and ran towards her. Daisy looked up and saw Spiderleg charging towards her. She started kicking even faster. More tears came from her eyes and spilled on the frozen ground.
"Daisy, are you okay? Do you need help?" Spiderleg said worriedly.
"Yes, that would be nice." Daisy said quietly. Spiderleg untangled Daisy from the bramble bush. She started off running again.
"Daisy, please don't run away again!" Spiderleg panted. Daisy stopped and turned to face Spiderleg.
"Why? I don't have anything to say to you!" Daisy said quietly and brushed away a tear. She jumped onto a nearby tree and clumsily climbed up to a high branch.
"After I had just gotten over him dumping me!" she cried.
People like you always want back
The love they pushed aside
But people like me are gone forever
When you say goodbye
"I want you back, Daisy!" Spiderleg said from behind her. Daisy turned around and glared at the black tom on the branch next to her's.
"You said your goodbyes, Spiderleg. Then you pushed me away. You know, Spiderleg, if you dump Daisy, Daisy says bye. Forever." Daisy said coldly and jumped to the next branch up.
Hey- all you had to do was STAY
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then
Why'd you have to go and lock me out
When I let you in
"I can't live without you, Daisy!" Spiderleg cried out and clambered up after Daisy.
"Well, you'd better get used to life without me then!" Daisy screamed and jumped up higher. "You just locked me out!"
"You told me that already!" Spiderleg yelled and continued jumping after Daisy.
"Well I'm running out of things to say!" Daisy sobbed loudly and more tears poured out of her eyes.
Hey- now you say you want it back
Now that it's just too late
Well, it could've been easy
All you had to do was STAY
Daisy stopped climbing and sat on a branch. Spiderleg sat next to her.
"You really want me back?" Daisy asked with a sigh.
"Yes, I do." Spiderleg said, sounding genuine.
"Well too bad! It's too late! The only thing you would've had to do was stay, but, oh yeah, YOU DIDN'T!" the cream colored she-cat screamed and started climbing again.
Let me remind you...
This was what you wanted
You ended it
You were all I wanted
But not like this...
"Spiderleg, this was what you wanted, apparently!" Daisy sobbed. "You ended this love when you were the only thing I wanted! I didn't care about being accepted if I had a mate who loved me! But, obviously, you weren't that cat!"
"If I could go back, I would never break up with you! I would make sure that would never happen!" Spiderleg said desperately.
"I wanted you. I really did. But I don't want you like this!" Daisy cried out and climbed up to the final branch. Spiderleg climbed up next to her.
Hey- all you had to do was STAY
Had me in the palm of your hand
Then
Why'd you have to go and lock me out
When I let you in
"Spiderleg," Daisy said, her voice cracking. "All you had to do was stay. You had me bent over backwards for you, but-"
"I locked you out." Spiderleg finished. Daisy nodded.
Hey- now you say you want it back
Now that it's just too late
Well, it could've been easy
All you had to do was STAY
"Daisy, please!" Spiderleg pleaded.
"It's too late, Spiderleg. It could've been easy, all you had to do was stay." Daisy sighed. "I'm sorry for rejecting you, and I'm sorry for this. Goodbye, Spiderleg."
She jumped off of the tree. She felt like she was falling forever, but finally reached the ground, and fell through the ice on the lake, plunging into the freezing water.
