Daisy (Part I & II)

Chapter 17 - Talks

No way are they getting away so easily.

They stayed quiet listening. But I could tell by the mention of their names it also made them angry.

"Daisy told me about her past, how Margaret abused her and kept her in the basement," I let out a shaky breath. Nothing irks me more than what Daisy went through. "She told me how Margaret let Mark beat her, with his belt and fists."

They all tense but still remain quiet. Xander looks livid, so does Noah. Henry looks like he wants to kill someone.

I took in a big breath. I don't want to say this next part out loud because then it will only make it real.

"Margaret and Mark would... touch Daisy... sexually." That was all it took for Xander to go ballistic.

"HOW DARE THOSE ASSHOLES FUCKING TOUCH HER! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THEM THEY ARE GONNA WISH THEY WERE-" Henry cuts his rant off.

"Xander just stop." He hisses exhaustingly.

"What do you mean stop? I am LIVID you should be too!" Xan snaps back. Noah stares straight ahead his face void of emotion.

"I mean come on. Daisy. Our baby sister was raped by our own mother and other random men! How can you sit there and tell me to stop when she was raped!" Xander screams on fury.

Noah looks pale. "I'm going to be sick." He grunts as he stands from his chair and sprints to the nearest bathroom. Henry quickly follows to make sure he's okay. I look to a now quiet but seething Xander.

"Trust me brother, we are just as angry and upset as you. But we need to stay calm and keep our minds clear and focused on the main task at hand, which is finding Margaret and those other men and making sure they pay for what they did too her. But we can't do that without a level head. Alright?" I reasoned with him.

I am now right in front of him.

A sob breaks out from him. "Why her? My poor girl." He sobs as I pull his crying figure into my arms. I feel tears begin to prick my eyes and I don't even bother trying to stop them from falling.

"I don't know Xan." I mumble. He pulls away and wipes his tears. We look over and see Noah and Henry at the door.

"We need to kill them." I say looking at all of them.

"No one gets away with hurting Daisy." Henry adds on.

"No one." Noah finalizes.

Those fuckers are going to pay.

Daisy

Currently I am shoving my face into a strawberry fudge sundae, it is so yummy.

Henry is what Roman calls him a 'health nut' so that's why there isn't any ice cream in the house. So we have come up with a plan. That plan is, we are gonna say we are going to go to the park or wherever and then instead we go out for dessert.

Next time Rome says we can go to a Waffle House!

Today has been such a fun day. I mean besides for the whole sharing my past. I feel so relieved like a weight has been lifted off of me.

As Roman drives us home I look out the window. I see a tiny dog with it's owner.

I want a dog.

"Hey Roman?" I ask him.

"Mhm." He answers focused on the road.

"Can we get a dog?" He looks at me and back at the road.

"I would love to get you a dog but you'll have to talk to the head of the house back at home."

I giggle. "Do you think he'll say yes?" He laughs.

"One hundred percent." I hum in response.

"I'll tell him tomorrow I've already stressed him out today." I state feeling bad about dumping my trauma on him.

"What do you mean?" I take in a hesitant breath before responding to him.

"I told him about my past."

It's quiet for a minute. Roman pulls up to the house and once he's parked he looks at me. Pain spread across his face.

"Are you okay?" He asks me.

"Yeah he is going to tell you guys. I don't wanna say it again." I mumble the last part.

Roman takes my hand and squeezes it comfortingly.

"Just so you know we all have your back. No matter how much you've been through or how much we know. We will always be with you to support you." He says with so much wisdom.

I giggle and reach over to feel his forehead. "Are you feeling okay Rome? You sound so... wise. Is everything alright?" I joked.

"Oh you're gonna get it." He says as he starts tickling me. God why do I have to be so ticklish.

I am laughing hysterically squirming in my seat as he tickles me. I laugh so hard I have tears coming out of my eyes. "Rome stop!" I exclaim while still laughing.

"You're gonna have to say I'm the smartest person you have ever met." He teases.

"Never!" I shout in between laughs.

"Fine by me then I'll just keep tickling you." He taunts me. Oh dang I give up.

"Okay! You are the smartest person ever!" I exclaim out of breath. He stops and watches me compose my self with what Noah calls it a 'shit eating grin' on his face.

I finally sober up and look at him before sticking my tongue out and leaving the car.

I've gotten quite sassy if you ask me.

"Daisy don't say a thing about the ice cream." He reminds me.

"My lips are sealed." He nods and we both walk in.

The house is eerily quiet.

"WE ARE HOME!" Roman shouts next to me. I flinch at the loud noise.

Loud noises and people yelling still freak me out.

Roman looks at me and says sorry. Then Henry appears.

"How was your guy's night?"

"It was a lot of fun. Did you know that Roman only wears miss match socks and can bend his pinky all the way backwards?" I learned a lot about Roman today. He is a pretty funky guy.

Henry chuckles. "He only wears the miss match socks because he's too lazy to do his laundry." He says as he pulls me into his tight embrace.

Noah then comes in and once he sees me his eyes light up as he rushes over to me and scoops me up.

"Hi Noah." I giggle.

"Hi Daisy."

He starts walking to the couch and plops down.

"I have not seen you all day." He sighs dramatically. "I need some Daisy time."

"Kay Kay." I reply as I snuggle into his side as he presses play on a show.

I am exhausted and have had such a long day so it's not even surprising that I fall asleep within minutes.

The only thoughts playing through my head was about wanting a dog.
