The next week went by in a whirlwind.

Because my brother was avoiding me at home.

And I was trying to seek him out.

It was like an hide and seek game I was growing tired of.

Gloria would shrug her shoulders when I asked her about his location.

An amused Dean would watch me flapping my arms helplessly .

I had no idea if Logan was avoiding me because of what he did or what i did?

Was it because of the stupid punch or me dating Dean?

I was living in a box of confusion.

And then one day I caught him sneaking out of his room at dawn. The second he saw me standing with crossed arms. .he froze.

"Are you done hiding in every nook and cranny?" I asked in a dry voice.

He just kept staring at me like how F.B. I says FREEZE and the culprit don't move.

"I. . .I. ." He looked helplessly around. As if he wished he wasn't here or someone could come rescue him.

I rolled my eyes .

"You're taking this way too far , Logan. I was meant to fall in love with Dean. I was meant to be with him. Nothing can change my mind on this. I love him and you need to get over it." I said everything straight to his face without beating around the bushes.

And Logan . .his face fell.

"You think that's why I'm avoiding you?" He asked in a low voice.

"Yeah. ." And then I felt hesitant. "Isn't it?"

He shook his head and then rubbed his hand down his face. My brother seemed miserable and it was affecting me.

"It's not because of that. Dean is a good guy I can vouch for him . It's. .it's. .I- you got hurt, Daisy. " He said softly. . almost like a whisper as if he was afraid to say it out loud.

What?

And all this time I thought. . .

I didn't stand there.

Warily , he watched me come at him and my arms went around my big idiot of a brother .

"For being the older one you sure are a pea brain. I don't care about what happened , Logan. It was a mistake. Mistakes are suppose to be forgiven. Whatever happens on school ground stays on the school ground." I grinned.

"I'm sorry, piglet." He said now hugging me back and I could feel his shoulders slacking. The pressure on him easing out.

Hell, I felt like I could breath again.

I knew I was not going to be happy with Dean knowing my brother wasn't okay with us and that wasn't even the case. Knowing I had Logan's blessings put my heart at ease.

"Are you sure about him?" Logan asked .

I nodded in his chest .

"More than my life."

And the next morning when Dean came to pick me up. .I was quickly putting on my clothes when I took a look out the window and nearly toppled out of it .

Because Logan - he was hugging Dean.

One of those man hugs. .Logan clapped his back and probably threatened him because Dean smiled .

I came down in a minute and threw open the door excepting them to be at each other's throat but no. .

They were chatting as they used to be.

And then the conversation broke apart when they saw me.

Dean smiling softly and Logan . .he nodded at me and then walked in the house leaving Dean and me. All alone.

Dean , my Dean crossed over his arms and looked at me.

I thought I had something on my face . His gaze was really making me self conscious.

"What?" I chuckled softly.

He shook his head. "Nothing. .just being thankful."

The smile on my face must have blinded the astronauts up in space.

He reached out and took hold of my hand . . gently. . pulling me towards his chest . .

I laid my head on his hard chest. .my hands clutching at his shirt. . bunching it up...

"I love you , Daisy. I love you so much and I realize now that I healed through you. "

I sighed in pure bliss.

"This has to be the best day of my life. No hiding from my brother. No nothing. Just you and me doing normal stuff. Confessing over and over again." I grinned.

"I know. I can't get enough of that. I'm still sorry for not making it up that day. " Dean cupped the back of my head . .his fingers moving over my nape.

And something hit my heart.

"You said. .you had a relapse. .," I pulled back. . looking in his green eyes that had suddenly filled with. . .sorrow?

"Yeah." Was his only answer.

I raised my eyebrow at his vague answer.

Dean knew I wouldn't give up until he told me so he looked away from my face. . staring at nothing.

"Ryan came."

Ryan? His distant brother?!

"And?" I said watching over his face.

Dean glanced at me . .his eyes shutting down.

"And. . nothing. I didn't let him in. " His lips lifted up in a humorless smile.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" I was hesitant.

And instantly he shook his head.

"There's nothing to talk about it , Daisy. I'm over that phase. Over my family. Whatever is left of it. ." He said softly.

"And the psychiatrist?"

"I'm over him too." Dean smiled. " I'm broken . No amount of psychiatrist can fix that. Nothing can repair something that's broken. You can tape it up. Bind it with glue but it can never be the same. I can never be the same and I'm fine by it. My past can't lead my future . .and I have you." Dean said flashing me his stunning grin and I couldn't help but hug him tight.

So tight I wish I could crush him to my chest.

Hide him in my heart.

From the whole world.

"So you're telling me she got her happy ending?"

Gloria slurped on the smoothie.

"That's what I said."

Mia seemed in awe. Her hazel eyes glossed over behind her glasses .

"That's so cool!" Mia exclaimed .

"I know . Happy ending is so hard to get in this era. It's like everyone is a snake hidden in the sleeves . You have to be picky and considerate. Only the lucky ones get it. . .happy ending." Gloria winked.

They were having lunch at cafe crunch. The restaurant was hustling and bustling with customers. It was the rush hour. Waiters rushing in and out of the kitchen. Snotty manager keeping an eye on every table.

"When will I be the receiving end of it? May the goddess of happy ending have mercy on me." Mia mock prayed .

Gloria smiled at her friend. Her friend had nothing to be worried of. She was beautiful. .her energy , her vibes. . everything! She had seen people cast a condescending glance at her. Body shaming her. Making her think there was something wrong with her.

And Mia? She was constantly under pressure though she never revealed it to her gorgeous best friend.

Just as the both of them were lost in thoughts and food. .the bell jingled over announcing an incoming customer.

While sipping on her diet coke, Mia glanced at the customer absently and nearly choked on her pepsi.

Because this was no ordinary customer!

It was her ultimate crush! The hot shot guy of school you can't help but sweat over. Instantly she sucked in her bloated stomach and tried to sit in an erect position.

Zachary Smith!

Or Zack!

The golden man .

The star footballer. The apple of the school everyone wanted to take a bite off. . .and Mia couldn't help herself but be in the line of his admirers.

The caramel colored hair that couldn't stop falling over his eyes and eyes. ..what eyes they were! Blue! As clear as the ocean! As striking as the sky! He was blessed in the lashes department. .it gave his eyes that sexy sleepy look. Mia called his lips the sinful lips. .the Marlen Brando lips that could make anyone do anything. The black thermal shirt he was wearing had put his built body on display. Mia couldn't help but think if he chose that shirt intentionally?

Eyes were instantly drawn at him .

His head down, he had earphones stuck in his ears and he was smirking at something on his phone.

"Stop undressing him."

Mia bristled at the casual tone of her friend.

"I wasn't." She muttered trying to clamp on the burger now. If she felt under pressure, she would hide it under food.

Food was her comfort.

"He's hot . May be more hot than the word itself. .I can picture him with you, my friend." Gloria said slyly . . noticing the beet red face of her chubby friend.

"I wouldn't dream of it. Guys like that go for the leggies and we know I don't have them. Legs. " Mia said now seeing him choose a seat absently.

A waitress immediately rushed at his table. Quite pleased to be the one servicing him.

Buy then who wouldn't be? Pleased?

"You have low self esteem. And I fear that. Because if a guy notice that in a girl he will use it against her. He'll never give her his 100 % knowing well how she takes yourself. And guys like Zachary. .," She glanced over at the guy ," can never be left alone."

Mia frowned." What's that suppose to mean?"

"Watch ." Gloria pointed at her eyes.

And Mia did.

Watch.

One minute passed.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

Just when Mia was about to open her mouth- she saw a blonde standing up- her friend egging her on- giggling high - Zachary Smith had his long legs stretched out, lazily.

The giggling smiling blonde moved towards the handsome guy. With beating heart, Mia saw her approaching Zack and then she looked over at her friend who gave her a thumbs up.

"4...3...2...1." Gloria counted softly.

And that's when the blonde cleared her throat and said something.

Zack instantly straighten up and took one earphone out of his ear. . answering her with his signature smile.

With a dull heart, Mia saw the girl occupying the chair next to him and now they were both laughing and talking like they knew each other since kindergarten.

"Told you. Such guys can never be left alone. Such looks can sometimes be devastating because you never know who's the good one out among the herd of people ." Gloria clucked her tongue.

And a defeated Mia nodded .

Gloria was right.

She had no business crushing over a guy that was way way way out her league.

But. . .

A girl can dream right?

Oh my!

Another one bit the dust 😃

So I loved LOVED Dean and Daisy's story . It was twisted and little dark because it spoke about broken relationships and you know sometimes it can't be fixed . Some relationships don't get the happy ending. If I wrote it down, know that I have been there somewhere in my life.

Did anyone notice how Dean mentions Ryan? But don't talk about what happened? 😉 I'm seeing Ryan in my future forecast 😂😂😅

Anyways As always , thank you for reading it. I consider all of you a blessing.

Now I don't even ask for votes or comments 😁 because truth be told i don't care. I just wanna write all the gut wrenching and toe curling stories I ALWAYS wanted to read.

As I always say. .on to the next bad boy 😎😎😎
