Chapter 8: Surprise Caller
"Is she still asleep?" Daisy whispered to Juliette as she checked out the door.
"Yes, I don't think she will wake up for another hour or so," she responded.
Daisy quickly grabbed her cell phone for her purse on Shelby's bed and dialed a number. She sat down and waited for it to start ringing. The first few tries were busy, but she knew to expect that. After five tries, she finally got through.
"Hey, you're on the air with Scott and Kass!" he said, trying to be enthusiastic.
"Yes, Scott, this is Daisy," she said, trying to sound as calm as she could.
"Daisy? What are you calling for?" He sounded baffled and at the same time very curious in what she wanted to say.
"Oh, well, I didn't remember your cell phone number and knew this was the only way I got get a hold of you...Was this bad timing?"
"Actually, you are the 25th caller...You just won a day at a spa," mentioned Scott.
"Oh, damn...You try to live your whole live staying away from superficial pleasures, call up a radio station, and boom! Your goal is toast..." she snickered.
"Well, if you don't want-,"
"I didn't say that, I was just trying to prove a point-," Daisy started.
"As much as this has been SO very amusing, we have to move on, so Daisy, if you will just stay on the line, we will play "Survivor" by Destiny's Child for all of the other listeners," interrupted Kassidy.
The song started and immediately Scott began questioning Daisy again. "Why did you call? Is Shelby all right? I could barely sleep last night, I was so worried."
"She's pretty torn up...but that's not why I am calling. I want to know if you have Peter and Sophie's number," she queried.
"Why do you need their number? I have it though...Just a sec and I will get it for you."
Daisy waited on the phone for several seconds while Scott went rummaging through his wallet for the slip of paper with the number on it. He knew why Daisy wanted it. Shelby was hurting and she wanted to talk to Peter...For advice, for comfort. He wished he could be the one she ran to again, but he knew that would never happen again. Her heart was in trouble and it was his entire fault.
