For the next few weeks, I haven't seen or spoken to Daire. But I didn't mind because he seemed like he needed some time to calm down.

I was sitting on my bed with Daisy in my arms. I was watching my Ipad when someone knocked on my window.

I tense and look outside in the darkness. I didn't see anyone or anything so I shrug it off and watch my Ipad again. But I hear it again and this time I see a shadow.

I nearly scream at the sight but then I see something shining from the person's fingers. I then realize that it was Daire the boy I haven't seen in two weeks. I raise my eyebrows at him as he frantically knocks on my window.

I quickly get off the bed and open the window for him.

"Daire?"

He climbs in and quickly closes the window. He pulls my pink curtains shut to cover the window. He turns to me and smiles. That's when I notice his red bulgy eyes. His hair was messy and he looked disheveled but hot at the same time.

"Hi Bud," He said sitting down on my bed.

"W-why are you here?" I asked him. I take Daisy off the bed and hug her close. "I was at a friend's place and then got a little high now I can't go home," He said lying back on the bed. I bite my lip and sit beside him.

"Do you want me to get my daddy?" I asked him.

He chuckles. "Hell no. Every dad will kill me if they find me in their daughter's room." He laughs to himself. "It wouldn't be the first time."

He looks me over and smiles. "You look nice," He grins at me as he lays back down on his bed.

I look down at my outfit and feel self-conscious.

I wasn't planning on letting anyone see me like this. I pull on the small shirt to cover my exposed stomach. "T-thank you," I mumble.

He gives me a thumbs up.

There was silence for a while as we just sit there. I bite my lip and rub my sweaty palms together. It was pretty awkward to just sit there for a while doing nothing.

"Can I have some water?" Daire asked breaking the silence.

"Yeah okay," I say. I walk away and towards the kitchen.

I was in the middle of filling the glass with water when someone appears behind me.

"Willy?"

I jump and almost drop the glass. I turn to Carter who was standing there with a juice box in his hands. He was wearing nothing but red boxers and Pikachu slippers.

"H-Hi Carter," I said turning off the running water. "W-what are you doing down here," I asked the dumb question mentally hitting myself. He shrugs and takes a sip from his apple juice. "I want another juice box." He said. "And maybe some oreo cookies." I nod my head and wrap my hand tightly around the cup. "Well, Imma head to bed." Carter nods his head and past by me and makes his way to the cupboard.

I quickly head back to my room and silently shut the door.

I turn around and see Daire looking through my baby picture book. I gasp and rush to him. "Hey," I said trying to grab the book back. "You were such a cute baby with your big golden eyes and long black hair," He coos. He flips through the book and stops at a large picture of me and my mother.

"Is that your mom," He asked pointing to the picture.

I silently nod as I look at one of the pictures of me and my mom had taken when I was about 7 years old.

"She's pretty," He closes the book and hands it to me. I hand him the glass cup and he takes it and gulps it down. He hands me back the glass as he wipes his mouth with his sleeve. "Ugh I really needed that," He said.

I sit the glass on my side table and sit back next to him.

"Why can't you home?" I asked playing with the end of my shorts.

He shrugs. "My mom hates when I do drugs or drink alcohol, even though she does it herself and she's worst than I am," He said running his hand through his chocolate color hair. "She hates me because she hates my dad. She didn't want me in the first place but was forced to keep after the pastor a church she used to go to convince her to keep me. My dad had raped her and she can't remember who it was."

"That's sad," I said.

He only shrugs. "It is but she doesn't have to take her hatred out on me, but yet she adores my older sister when her dad abused, cheated and was just the worse to her for years." He chuckles and shakes his head. "She have three kids with him, My little sister Colby is a result of his abuse yet she loves that little girl with all her heart. And her brother is the result of one of his affairs and I know she's sleeping with him."

I raise my eyebrows. "Your mom is sleeping with you sister's brother which is also her husband's son?" I asked.

"Not husband but boyfriend, but yeah basically."

"That's gross," I whisper under my breath.

Daire sighs heavily. "I still need to give your nerd brother back his clothes," Daire said. He laughs and throws his head back. "I fucking hate your brother." He continues to laugh out loud. "I actually hate your brother. But you're cool."

I look around my room and notice I don't know if he's actually spending the night or what. "Um Daire, are you spending the night here or what?" I asked playing the string of my coat. I bite my lip as I wait for his answer which he takes for ever to do.

"Um I can sleep on your floor if you're giving me a lot of pillows," He said standing up and stretching his arms over his head.

"Okay but you have to leave early in the morning," I said walking over to my closet. I take out some covers and some pillows that I just kept in my closet for no reason.

I throw the pillows at his feet and hand him the cover.

"Okay well I have this huge test tomorrow so I have to go to bed," I said moving awkwardly on my feet. "I-uh-goodnight," I said.

"Nite, Bud," He yawns and takes his coat off.

I climb in my bed and lay down and face my glowing fish tank. I listen to Daire rummage with the pillow and covers. He sighs and plots down on the hard floor with a thud. He sighs again heavily.

"Willow?" He calls out.

"Yeah?" I answer.

"Your floor is hard as hell," He said.

I laugh before responding. "Yeah I know I fell on it a few times," I said. He sighs again and I hear him move a bit. "Willow?" "Yes?" "Let's make a deal."

I smile and turn towards him. "Yeah."

"Let's put a bunch of pillows between us and I can sleep on your bed," He said. I frown at his words. I never really had a boy that wasn't my brothers or daddy in my bed before. I never actually had a boy in my bedroom that wasn't related to me. And now a boy that I had a crush on for a while is asking me to sleep in my bed.

"O-okay," I said.

I packed a bunch of pillows between me so that Daire could get in. He also throws some pillows in the middle of the bed. He then picks up Daisy and looks at her. "Is this yours?" He asked. I blush and grab Daisy from his grasp. "Her name Daisy and she's my monkey that I love," I said hugging the monkey to my chest.

He grins and climbs in the bed. He lays down and looks up at the ceiling. He sighs again which I really think he should get checked out. "This is so much better," He sighs. "Goodnight Willow," He said in a groggy voice. I smile to myself.

"Goodnight Daire."
