Mark's P.O.V

Once again I was staring at the door confused by this girl who had just kissed me on the cheek. I stood there rubbing my cheek in shock. I could feel myself blushing. How the hell did that even happen? And how did I asked her out. Did I really ask her out? For real. Still in shock I begun to go through my film seeing what was good and what wasn't when I came across the section with Daisy. That smile. That bright smile that seemed to light up the room.

Rodger then came in all of a sudden and sat down next to me. "You totally like her don't you."

"Maybe, I think I just asked her out on a date."

"You think?"

"I think and then she kissed me on the cheek."

"Yeah you two like each other. You may not know it but you do."

'I don't know Rodger I mean Maureen and I just broke up..."

"A month ago...Mark listen to me there is a girl out there who can stand you and you're weird quirks and your film camera. Go after her and don't let her go." Maybe he was right I mean this was my chance to go after someone who could turn into something more.

"You're right Rodger, maybe this afternoon I can talk to her."

"You should oh and by the way I and Mimi are going to life support today with Collins and Angel do you want to join us."

"I'll try to come." Rodger then grabbed his guitar and started to practice trying to write his one song. Though must of the time he ended up playing musetta's waltz. The morning went by quickly as Rodger came in and out and spending time with Mimi and I sat there going through my film. I checked my watch and saw that it was almost three. So I grabbed my scarf and threw on a coat and headed downstairs with my camera. I waited outside as a small snowfall begun.

I then felt a small tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw it was Daisy. "Hey you ready."

"If you are?" I turned on my camera and we began are walk around.

We were down in subway making are way to central park. I sat next to her and filmed the people around me and pointed it back at Daisy. She begun to make funny faces into the camera causing me to laugh. "Come on show your face to the camera." She took it from me and started to film me.

"Come on Mark say something nice."

"You have a smile that can light up the room."

"I meant to the camera silly."

"Oh yeah...well um... if this film ever makes out there I'm the one filming all of you people."

"Nice not like a stalker at all." She started to laugh and it was so infectious that I started laughing too.

We were now in central park walking around as the snow continued to fall. "It's beautiful Mark isn't it the snow. How dances as it falls down. I zoomed in as the snow fell and did a circle round of the park we were in. "Come on put down that camera for a minute and enjoy this site." She took me to a bench and sat me down taking my camera from me. We then sat there for a moment. I watched the snow but I found myself looking at Daisy. Her brown hair and flakes of snow of it and her hazel eyes begun to glitter.

"You know I know nothing about you?" She took my hand and looked down at the ground.

"I like fantasy novel whenever I can get a hold of them. I love snowy days and I could spend all day in the snow. My favorite color is red and I prefer dogs over cats. I've been dancing since I was 5 and it has always been my dream to go professional."

"I've lived with an overprotective Jewish mother for most of my life, and she forced me things I never really wanted to do. I love riding my bike around my neighborhood and my favorite color is blue. I really hope one day to be become a great filmmaker."

'See now we know a little more about each other." She scooted closer to me.

"Yeah we do." I scooted closer to her. Her hand inched towards me as she softly took it. I looked into her eyes again and as we leaned even closer together. I reached my other hand out and cupped her cheek. We then kissed there on the park bench. Her lips warmed me up from the cold snow. It was gentle and soft. We slowly broke apart but I continued to hold her cheek.

'I've been wanting to do that since I meet you." She said with a deep breath. She rubbed her fingers through my hair and continued to hold her cheek.

"So have I, it was your smile."

"It was your eyes." We sat there a moment as if frozen in time. "So what now." She asked.

"I suggest we go back home because I am freezing my ass of here."

"Sounds great maybe get some hot chocolate?"

"No cash. You?"

"Empty wallet."

"How about tea I have some packets in my apartment."

"Sounds great." She stood up holding me hand and we walked back to the subway station hand in hand.

Daisy's P.O.V

When we reached his apartment he tried to boil some tea and ultimately failed. "Sorry he said as he sat on the couch with his red hands.

"It's fine. I can settle on some chocolate. I went into my bag and pulled out a Hershey bar. "A ballerina always needs her chocolate." I handed him a bar.

'Oh hey I um...this night I'm going to a life meeting with Rodger, Mimi, Collins and Angel. You want to tag along."

"Sure I got nothing to lose. What is a life support meeting?"

"It's just about people learning to cope with life." I thought for a minute I felt my hand drift to my hoodie pocket. Will those people understand what I'm going through, would Mark understand what I'm going through?

"I guess so." My fingers drifted away from pocket and back into Marks hand.

"Good then, so um...about what happened in the park are we you know..."

"I mean if you want to."

"Well if we are I owe you an official date."

"I thought you had no money."

"That doesn't mean I can't figure out something." He said with a smile.

"Can't wait to see how that will turn out. I imagined a whole lot of candles and a bowl of captain crunch."

"Well now I have to think of something else." We then spent the rest of the afternoon talking and trying to figure each other out. He was so sweet and kind and a bit of a dork and his work was pretty cool. Maybe having Benny turning off my heat was a good thing. Maybe it was. After a few hours Mark said "Come on the meeting will be starting soon we should go."

"Where is this meeting?"

"At a nearby community center. Will be meeting them there." I threw my coat on well Mark's coat and we walked out the door together. We walked down the street softly holding hands almost as we both were afraid to take this jump as if something was holding both us back. I knew what mine was but what was holding him back. "Here it is, come on." He opened the door for me and I walked in were we entered a large circular room with white floors. There was a circle of chairs were a lot people were sitting including Collins Angel Mimi and Roger.

"Hey you brought Daisy with you." Collins said to us.

"Hi sweetie." Angel came up in her heels and gave me a hug.

"Hi Mark dragged me along." Before he could reply back the leader said. "Let's begin."

Soon enough all of them were softly singing the words. "There's only us. There's only this. Forget regret or life is yours to miss. No other road. No other way. No day but today." Everyone then sat back down and everyone begun to talk on how they were doing and they were dealing with life. It was kind of sad at first but it was very hopeful too, How they refused to give up and to continue to live there life to the fullest.

"Would our newest member like to say something?" Paul asked me.

"No um I'm just here to..." I stopped for a moment. Was this right time. Well there is never a right time to say this. No day but today right. I stood up from my seat. "Hi I'm Daisy." Mark looked at me like I had gone crazy. "And um...I reached into my hoodie pocket and brought out my bottle of pills. All of them gasped and I guess most of them assumed I was doing drugs but that is not the case.

"Daisy..." Mark said taking a step closer to me. "I was diagnosed with depression when I turned 16. I was very suicidal for most of my life until my mom could afford these anti-depressants. But now I'm running out slowly. My mom told me she won't pay for anymore and I'm scared of what is going to happen when I run out. I love my life but I change without these pills. And I'm terrified of what is going to happen next. I don't know what's going to happen." It was silent for a moment and I started softly singing.

"Will I lose my dignity? Will someone care? Will I wake tomorrow from this nightmare? Will I lose my dignity?" The group then started joining me in my singing. I could even hear Mark in the background. I then realized what I did. I ruined my chance with Mark with having a normal life by dropping this bomb on them. I quickly ran out of the room and outside tears streaming down my face.
