A/N: Thanks to MissKate and Sinead for reviewing again. Okay, this is really short too but I wanted to end it there. But there's another chapter up too so you have that to read. It would have been up sooner but w/ all the problems w/ the site I wasn't able to post. Sorry and enjoy and tell me what you think!
"Well if you don't fall in love, you can never get hurt, but it sure is lonely all by yourself."
~Now And Then
Part Seven
David walked slowly over to Daisy trying his best to muster up some courage. It was just that every time he was around her he just froze. He always said or did something stupid. He was cursed.
Daisy saw him approaching and rapidly headed towards the exit.
He caught her arm and pulled her to him, "We have to talk about what happened." He stated in an undertone so that no one else could overhear.
"No we don't. It's over, done, finto!" she hissed.
David scowled at this and responded with the ultimatum, "Either we talk about this now privately or I bring it up during group."
"You wouldn't." Daisy said glaring at him calling his bluff.
"Try me." He said with a smirk.
Daisy wrenched her arm out of his grasp, "Damn you."
"Oh Daisy darling, I'm already damned surely you know that. Let's go outside for our chat. Shall we?"
They proceeded to walk outside and sit down by the lake. An awkward silence followed.
"You wanted to talk." Daisy prompted.
"Yeah, um about last night—"
"It was a mistake. I just want to forget about it." She interrupted harshly.
David felt as if someone had delivered a blow right to his gut. It hurt. Whatever reaction he had tried to prepare himself for, it hadn't compared to this.
"I see." He replied exhaling slowly. "Well if you feel that way."
"I do." Daisy said unable to look at him.
"Well then I guess there's nothing to talk about." And he got up from the bench and began to head back towards the lodge. He had walked a few feet when he turned around.
"If you ever need a friend, just a friend. I'm here." And with those unacknowledged words he walked back.
Daisy sat staring unblinkingly at the lake. She hurt him, and she knew it. But it was better this way, she rationalized to herself. Rather than have him get too involved and have them both get hurt. A little pain now to save them from more pain in the future.
That made sense, right?
Please review!
