Chapter 19: A Friend's Return
David entered the room, and saw Daisy with the book in her lap, and a tear running down her cheek. She looked up when she heard the door closed, and gasped as she saw who was staring at her. They had not seen each other in so long, and now he was here.
"David...Why...Why are you here?" she asked quietly, as he walked slowly towards her.
"Why do you think? Aug, EZ, and I are all here to...lend our support in the effort to rescue a fellow Cliffhanger." Daisy smiled at him, and he wiped the tear off of her cheek with his thumb. "Have you always looked this cute?"
"No, the hospital adds that. I think it is in the jell-o."
David looked at her carefully. She looked so much smaller in her bed than she had traipsing around Horizon. He could sense that she was scared, and held her hand in his. "I'm here for you, Dais."
Back at Horizon, she knew that both he and Ezra had "feelings" for her, but she did not know what to do back then. Everything had been so blurred and confusing at that point in her life, and boys never quite helped the situation. However, Daisy knew that she needed someone in her life, and David always gave her everything she needed, whether it was a kind word, a laugh, or simple a small embrace.
"What's going on out there?" Daisy asked as she heard Juliette yelp loudly once again.
"It's probably just Jules squeezing the life out of Auggie. You should have seen her when she first saw him. I felt sorry for the poor guy," he responded with a smirk. "I think they are just getting caught up on everything that has happened lately, however, I want to know from you."
Daisy felt a smile cross her face, and decided to let David in on the events of the past. She told him of Scott's sudden decision to break off his relationship with Shelby. She told him of the morning after, when Shelby said she was going to be in the shower. She could hardly speak when she told him about finding her on the floor. David sat on the bed next to her, listening intently, knowing that everything she said came from her heart, and not everybody was able to get so much from her.
When she was finished, David pulled her close to him, and she rested her head on his shoulder. "I don't know what I am supposed to do know. I don't know how to help," she told him.
"I think you know. I think you have done the right thing all along. It's just that some people don't recognize it. But, Daisy," he said gently, as she looked up to his face. "If you ever want my help, someone to talk to, or someone to listen, reach for me."
Their eyes were still connected, and Daisy could sense the sincerity in his voice. "I know," she told him as she again rested her head against his shoulder, feeling the strength in his arms as he held her.
