2 weeks of the tour schedule have already passed. So far we have finished 7 out of the ten scheduled tour concerts. We got 3 concerts left; two of them are going to be in Ireland and the last one will be in Aberdeen, Scotland. “did you hear about the meeting?” Adrian rushes in the hotel room where Nancy and I are sitting. “what meeting?” we both exclaim. “They have announced it a couple of times already. The managers are arranging an emergency meeting with everyone tonight” she explains. “what the hell? How come we are always the last to know about everything?” I wonder complaining. “so what time is that emergency meeting?” Nancy asks for the both of us. “ohh…I think in a bout thirty minutes” she answers looking at her watch and exiting the room right after. After half an hour we were all summoned downstairs in the hotel hall and the managers started explaining the reasons behind the emergency meeting. One of the managers stood up in the center facing the whole crew. “Due to flight jams because of the Christmas season our flight from Ireland to Aberdeen, Scotland is rescheduled a day after its original date” he announces as everyone look at one another in panic. Oh no, this means two things. First, we will stay one extra day in Ireland. Second, we will be backed up in the schedule for the concert in Aberdeen meaning we won’t have time for a dress rehearsal. This cant be good, I thought to myself but another manager started talking interrupting my thoughts. “We are also going to have to stay in Aberdeen for a whole week until flights clear out. So, on the positive side it will be like a Christmas vacation for all of you” Hearing the last words, I look up and I realize that everybody’s once disappointed faces have broken into smiles. I think to myself, hopefully we wont be there for Christmas too cuz I wanted to spend it with Hannah this year. However, even if we are stuck in Aberdeen for Christmas, I still got Aaron’s company which is always good.
ABOUT 6 DAYS LATER, We have only got one more day in Ireland. So I decided to go site seeing. Nancy and I head out of the hotel room and for once Adrian joins us. “DAISY” Aaron calls my name as he sees me head out of the hotel. “Hi Azza…what’s up?” I casually greet him. “are you doing anything…any of you guys…cuz my mates and I are going site seeing..you know discover the place. So you want to come?” he was talking too fast, probably excited. He always loved visiting new places. I smile, “What a coincidence. we were actually about to do the same thing..so you want to just join groups?” I say coming up with the perfect idea. So the two groups merge and we all exit the hotel. I totally adored Ireland. The amount of trees and farms made the air feel fresh and clean. I had the best time and took so many pictures.
2 DAYS LATER We arrive at Aberdeen, Scotland airport. About five couch buses are waiting for us outside. Aaron helps me with my luggage as they kept on getting heavier as we traveled from one place to the other because I always buy souvenirs from every place I visit. “God Daisy, they’re like huge rocks” Aaron tells me out of breath as I watch him suffer carrying my bags. The minute we arrive at the arena, we had to do a lot of work. We had to make up for the day that was lost because of the flight rescheduling. If you were to walk in the arena, you would think it is like a bee hive. Everyone running around everywhere to get errands done, sound check, dancers practicing the routines on the floor in front of the stage area. Everything was just hectic, but it was all worth it. The last show was a GREAT success. We were all happy about the success of the tour. But we were sad because it ended too soon. The after-tour celebration was spectacular; with music, dancing, food, drinks, and even fireworks. Anyway, now with the end of the tour we still have six days left to spend in the beautiful Scotland
Aaron’s POV,
Today is the first day after the last concert. It was really great and I can’t believe the tour is over. However, we do have 6 days to relax and enjoy a nice vacation. I am so bored in the hotel and everyone seems to be catching onto their sleep. I tried calling Daisy, but she is not picking up. She is probably sleeping too. After all Daisy does love her sleep. I laugh gently remembering the many times I have gotten hit in the chest or slapped on the face in the process of waking her up when we were still in the band. Anyway, I give up and decide to go on a tour in the big street behind the hotel. The street is filled with huge stores of all sorts. I spot an electronics store and step right into it. They had a great selection of C.Ds of artists from all around the world. As I was looking through some CDs I heard a deep familiar voice. It was of a bloke that was standing near me talking to the worker. I turn my head to get a better vision of him and I become speechless as our eyes meet “CALVIN?” I yell out his name. I haven’t seen him since about 5 years ago when I visited Scotland “Aaron, what,,how…what are you doing here?” Calvin’s speech must have been affected by the shock too. He couldn’t form one coherent sentence. We both walk closer toward each other and embrace each other in a very manly hand shake/hug. We start chatting right away. He has changed a little. He grew a bit taller but he still had the spiky hair and the deep voice, at least deeper than mine. “so have you seen any of the others?” he asks me “ohhh” I was going to tell him about Daisy but I hesitated and didn’t want to lie “ohh..i have seen Daisy only..briefly” I say as fast as I can hoping he wouldn’t catch wt I said. “but that’s it..i heard Frankie had become a model though” I continue trying to change the subject “wait ..hold up..you saw Daisy?” Calvin asks me his eyes getting wider and it was obvious that Daisy’s name was very special to him. “hmm..yea…Stacey and Jay got married” I announce still trying to change the subject “yea I know” he says “ I was invited to the wedding but couldn’t make it cuz I had some work to finish” We start talking about our lives and I tell him about Stacey’s daughter and Rochelle’s son. He tells me that he has been playing the guitar in a small band with his mates. They do gigs and such. “wow..seemed like so much have happened and I didn’t even know about it” Calvin exclaims “yea” I nod agreeing. They spent the whole afternoon together catching up with each other’s lives and having a great time in Aberdeen.
Meanwhile……
Daisy’s POV, I haven’t seen Aaron all day and he isn’t even in his room when I checked. I wonder where he has gone. I try calling his cell phone but he is not answering me. I wonder where he is and what happened to him.
Next Time ~ Aaron has got a plan. Daisy and Calvin finally meet but how will they react to one another?

Aaron’s POV, I am still walking down the street with Calvin. I have missed how much of close friends we once were before, we just get a long really well. It was like getting my best mate back. “yup, So..anyway..i ..really got to go no, I have to run some errands for the group” Calvin announces looking at his watch. “oh alright..actually I have to go too, I forgot to tell Dai….”I stop nervously then continue “Da group..thats I have gone off alone” Wow that was close I think to myself. I was about to say Daisy’s name. Good save Aaron. “alright mate..I’ll see ya later” I hear Calvin call out walking back to the subway. “see ya” I made sure we exchanges cell phone numbers before we left. I had to get in touch with him again before I leave with the tour crew back to London. I walk down the street back to the hotel and I can’t get my mind off the famous Calvin and Daisy situation. I really want the both of them to meet but I am afraid they might clash because of their past. Somehow I get the feeling that they still got feelings for each other. The way Calvin reacted when I said Daisy’s name says it all. Also, Daisy refusal to hook up with any of the blokes on tour or any others we have met and she gets all nervy when I utter Calvin’s name. I know I am not an expert in relationships but it is so obvious and I wish there is something I can do. “or maybe there is” I mutter thinking out loud. I think I scared the little kid that was walking with his mom near me. Lol oh well.
Daisy’s POV, Okay, there is no sign of Aaron..i am just going to give up. He probably went somewhere with some girl he met. “hey Daisy..” Nancy greets me as we bump into each other in the corridor. “hey” I reply “do you want to do something? I am bored” she asks and I can tell she needed something to do as she was holding a copy of a crossword puzzle in her hands. “wow..you really are bored aren’t you?” I say looking at the puzzle in her hands and we both laugh as she nods her head. We decide to go get a couple of drinks at the hotel cafeteria and catch up on our girly chat. Seems like ages since i had a girly chat really. I think the last one was with Hannah, so about a month ago. We decide to sit at the counter instead of a table “a coke please” Nancy tells the bartender “I’ll have a cherry sherbet” I tell him after her We chat for about half an hour before I feel two hands rubbing the top of my shoulder. My body jumps forward and I look up to see who the stranger is “AARON” I yell out his name as he smiles down at me “where have you been?” I ask sternly. I was kind of mad he left me alone but i don't blame him…we have been as good as attached to each other the past few weeks. He probably needed his space. So I immediately smile at him realizing that I shouldn’t be too mean like that. “sorry babe..i went walking around town..i was going to tell you to come but you weren’t picking up ur phone” Aaron says apologetically “its alright..so did u have fun..is it nice around here?” I ask very interested to hear about his day but all the feedback I got was “its nice” I had the feeling he didn’t want to tell me something, but I didn’t want to bother him about it so I just smiled back to him. Aaron sits with us for a few minutes then leaves heading upstairs. I am telling you…he is hiding something from me. I think for a little bit then shrug to myself.
Aaron’s POV, I leave Daisy and Nancy and go up stairs to my suite. I think Daisy is getting suspicious. I hate lying to her but I had to. I start using my brain and try to find a way to get the two to meet each other somehow. And I get the perfect Idea. I take my cell phone and dial Calvin’s number “hey Cal,” I say and hear his deep voice greet me. “what are you doing tomorrow afternoon?” I ask hoping he wouldn’t have plans “oh..nothing really..i do have to do a few things but that’s only till 3 pm..anytime after that im free” he tells me in a cheery voice. “alright good..why don’t you join us here in the hotel. I’ll introduce you to some of my mates” I suggest casually crossing my fingers “hmm..sure..but wait..wt type of mates..girls?” he asks cheekly. Some things never change. “noo..just guys and stuff” I answer laughing at his question “ohh.k..sure.i’ll see ya then” he tells me before we hung up. I hang up up smiling to my self. I really hope this plan is going to work.

Daisy’s POV, I wake up the nest morning. obviously very tired. So I decide to stay in bed a little longer. However, half an hour later I get out of bed and walk to the bathroom. I look at my reflection in the mirror and I can't help put laugh. I have forgotten to brush my hair last night before bed..and now it is all bushy and everywhere. I look like a scare crow lol I get dressed and head downstairs to the breakfast area where all the others are waiting for me. I wave to them and sit by Nancy. We eat our breakfast and decide to go in the pool. So I get changed in my bikini and grab my towel heading downstairs to the pool area. Aaron was kind of silent a lot so I decided to see whats wrong “are you alright?” I say taking a seat next to Aaron on the sun bed “yea..why you ask?” he looks at me confused “I don’t know. you just seem out of it” I tell him but he only smiles at me. “ohh..i see wt you mean..let me seem normal then” he then stood up and suddenly picked me up and walked to the edge of the pool. “noo..noo Aaron nooo” I scream knowing exactly what he had in mind. The others were just watching us and laughing their heads off. “what is that..? do I hear a yes?..okay” Aaron jokes but then he goes for it. He jumps in the water still carrying me and soon I am soaked from head to toe. “ugghhh..aaron “ I scream at him hitting him playfully as we emerge from underneath the water. I can hear him laughing in the back ground. We continue on swimming and having fun until 2 pm when Aaron insists that we go back upstairs. “you want to come over to my room after you get washed up…I have DVD player and you can bring the chips” He told me suggesting the idea of laying in today instead of going out I look at him suspiciously then nod my head “sure I got nothing else to do” Up stairs in my room I wash up and get dressed. I am wearing blue flared jeans and sneaker. Also, a pink tank top that has Angel on it. I grab my matching pink jumper jacket and head downstairs to get some food for me and Aaron.
Aaron’s POV, I hear a knock on my door room so I open the door revealing Calvin. “hey mate” he greets me looking around the spacious room. I got to admit the rooms here are very big..almost like a small apartment. “hey..glad you came..my mates will be here soon” I tell him and he takes a seat on the couch in my room. “its really nice here..you’re getting royal treatment I’d say” he comments smiling “reminds me of the sclub8 days” I look at my watch I realize Daisy hasn’t come yet so I call her cell phone. “hey..where are you?..whats taking so long?” I ask “oh I’m coming I’m in the lift…be right there” she tells me in her sweet voice and we hang up. Calvin thought it was a mate of mine so he wasn’t getting suspicious at all “I’m going to the loo..Excuse me one sec” I go in the loo on purpose. Waiting inside till Daisy knocks the door to my hotel room and listening very attentively. About 3 minutes later, I hear a faint knock on the door. “get that for me will ya?” I shout to Calvin from inside the bathroom
Daisy’s POV I am knocking on Aaron’s door, but I hear noise from inside. Does he have company? He didn’t tell me anything about other people joining us. I shrug and continue knocking then finally the door opens I look up at the tall figure and it’s like I’m struck by lightening “CALVIN” I say faintly He looks back at me in bewilderment. I start to lose control over my legs “Daisy?” I hear him say before I black out and I can no longer see or feel anything infront of me anymore.

Aaron’s POV, I listen attentively to what they are saying but I can’t hear much. However, suddenly I hear a loud thud and Calvin yelling out Daisy’s name. I become worried and I rush out of the loo to find Daisy on the floor in front of my hotel room with pizza boxes and drinks around her. Calvin has leant next to Daisy carrying her up in his hands. “oh my gosh, what happened?” I rush to Daisy’s side as Calvin lays her down on the couch. Calvin doesn’t answer until moments later when he is finally able to unlock his eyes off of Daisy. “She blacked out when she saw me…Aaron,…what..how.., how….did you know about this?” Calvin wasn’t speaking any sense, it all came out like word salad. Daisy was still unconscious and I felt it was my duty to explain everything to Calvin. “yes Cal, I knew about her…we’re together on the same tour. She is a dancer too you know” Calvin was staring at me as I explained everything. It was like it is the event of the year and the most interesting thing that happened to him in years. “anyway, Calvin when I met you in town I thought about how great it would be if we all get together again. Even if it was just the 3 of us” I tell him “but, why didn’t you tell me about Daisy earlier yesterday?” Calvin asks the question I have been dreading. I fall silent and was looking for the right words to say. I can’t just tell him that I am afraid Daisy might still have feeling for him, cuz even I am not sure of that myself. Calvin understand my silence “because of out past right?” he tells me and I nod silently. We hear Daisy stir in her sleep and she starts to become conscious again.
Daisy’s POV, I feel myself stirring on a couch. My head hurts and I don’t remember how I ended up on this couch. Then it struck me. “Calvin” I mumble and I see two figures moving towards me. My vision is still being adjusted and the two figures are much clearer to me. “Daisy are you okay?” I hear Calvin’s voice and feel his hands touch mine. “I think she hurt her head from the fall” it was Aaron’s turn to panic over me. “no..no I’m fine” I sit up on the couch and now I can see perfectly. Calvin is sitting next to me but there is a fair distance between us. I return his smile “Calvin its so good to see you again…how have you been?” I aks him trying to sound very professional. I never prepared for this day. The day I would see him again. I tried to push away any past feelings I may have been experiencing towards his non existence, and now I just sound lie an old friend who is happy to see their friend after a long time. “It’s been so long Daisy..too long” he tells me and I see so many words in his eyes that I can’t make out. My eyes start tearing but I successfully hold back my tears. We smile faintly to each other and I update him with everything that has been going on with my life as he does the same. “I am in a small band with a few of my mates..we just do gigs and stuff like that” so he is still a singer. Always thought he would be. “im a dancer” I inform him. Aaron was watching us the whole time but he joined in on our conversation about the others. “I always knew you two would stay best friends longest” Calvin says giggling when I tell him about me and Hannah. “yea…she’s great…she might get engaged soon you know” I tell Calvin and both Aaron and Calvin raise their eye brows in surprise. Oh yea, I forgo to tell Aaron about that before. “so. basically each of you has seen most of the others some time or another …except me” “hmmmm..yea pretty much” both Aaron and I say “sometimes…” and we all laugh right away. I really like this, the 3 of us sitting together talking and having fun like the old days. Seeing Calvin is nice but very unexpected and confused me more. We were chatting like old friends. However, from time to time memories of the past with him would flood into my mind. I think it was a little obvious that there was an amount of tension in the aura around is. “well, I have to leave to meet with my band mates” Calvin announces standing up and carrying his guitar case. “oh, alright…it was good seeing you again” I tell him smiling “yea..you two” and he returns my smile. He shakes hands with Aaron and just waves at me. “ I am glad we didn’t hug or anything, I don’t think I am ready for that yet.
After Calvin leaves I decide to stay and hang around in Aaron’s room. I walk in the balcony and inhale some fresh air. I think more about Calvin and what had just happened this afternoon. “Are you okay?” I hear Aaron’s voice from behind me. He must have come out in the balcony when I haven’t noticed. “yea” I reply but without helping it my eyes start tearing again and I cry uncontrollably. I just couldn’t get myself to stop. I was about to open my mouth and say something but Aaron interrupted me, “Daisy you don’t have to say anything” he tells me and takes me in a brotherly/sisterly embrace as I sob in his chest with my arms around his waist.

The night Aaron insisted that I sleep over in his room. He didn’t want to leave me in such a state of mind. I tried persuading him that it would be alright if I went back to my room but he refused. He is such a great friend. Truthfully, I wanted to stay with him anyway. I didn’t feel like dealing with Nancy and Adrian asking me questions about my tear stained face or my whereabouts when I go back to my room.
Next morning, I woke up in Aaron’s bed. He insisted that he sleeps on the couch leaving the comfortable bed for me. “Good morning Mr. Sexy Boxers” I tell Aaron in my sexy voice as I see him coming out of the shower in only boxers. “DAISY” he yells and runs back to the loo to get dressed. I laugh my head off at him and get out of bed. “Aaron,…I’m going back to my room to get changed.” I yell loudly so he can hear me from inside the loo. “oh ,alright” he yells back and I exit the room sneaking off to mine. I go in my room quietly, both Nancy and Adrian are still asleep. “Thank God” I think to myself or otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten the end of it from them two. An hour later I am all dressed and ready for breakfast. I go to fetch my sneakers from the closet and I find my valuables/memories box. This was where I keep precious items and pics from my memories. I reach out my hand and take the box out, open it, and start looking at them. I hold out a little piece of paper that read “SClub United Wimbley” this was the ticket of our first concert on out first tour. Then I look at some pictures. One of them had me and Hannah at the age of 14. We were pulling funny faces at the camera. We got the pic customized so it said “Best Friend 4 ever” at the bottom. I found so many pictures of me with Calvin when we were dating. One of them was from my 14th birthday party. I was standing in front of the birthday cake and Calvin had his arms around my waist. I think he was tickling me in that pic because I was smiling with a huge grin…didn’t look normal at all lol. I continue on looking at the pics then I notice something silvery shinning at the bottom of the little box. I was the heart shaped locket that Calvin had given me on our first year anniversary. It had a small picture of me and him in it. I haven’t changed the pic since I put it in there years ago. I feel warm tears on my cheeks as I put my necklace on. But suddenly I hear Adrian coughing, I turn around and see her getting out of bed. “good morning Daisy” she tells me walking off to the loo. “morning” I quickly reply covering the box and putting it back in my closet. “well, I’m off to breakfast…I’ll see you down there” I tell her before heading out the door.

I go in the breakfast area, but there is hardly anyone there from my group. It seems as though since the last concert everyone has been trying to catch onto their sleep. I take a seat anyway at one of the tables and look around. I spot a little girl smiling sweetly at me. She is so cute so I smile back to her waving in a very childish manner. She looks so adorable with her little dimples and blonde hair. Actually, she reminds me of Hannah. I hear Hannah’s name in my mind and decide to call her and see how she’s doing. I am also sure she would be very interested in hearing about what happened last night. I pull my phone out of my purse and dial Hannah’s cell phone number. I hear it ring about five times before she actually answers it, but her voice sounds different. “hello…Hannah?” I ask just to make sure I dialed the right number. “oh no, she is not here right now. Do you want to leave a message that I can give to her?” the lady on the other line asks me. “hmm..sure just tell her Daisy called” I answer but suddenly the lady start screaming in the phone “Oh My God..Daisy? our dancing queen?” she screams out and I finally recognize her voice. “Frankie..what..what r u doing with Hannah’s phone and where are you?” I question very confused but so happy to hear Frankie’s voice after all those years. “ph we’re all here at Stacey’s and Jay’s for Christmas…Hannah is in the loo at the moment” she tells me. “aww..its great you guys are together..” I tell her and I feel disappointed that I am not with them. I have wanted t see Frankie but never did. “so how is your tour going..hannah told me about you , u little dancer” Frankie is always ina good mood and that’s what I love about her. “its great..we just finished..i am now in Aberdeen Scotland. We’re here four more days” “ohhh Aberdeen..isnt that Calvin’s home place?” she asks ms and I am not sure whether I should tell her or no. “yea..actually you’re not going to believe this but I’m here with Aaron and Calvin” I blurt out as she shrieks on the phone. “OMG…how are they doing?..i miss them so much…are they coming back with you?” she asks me and i just shrug telling her “ I dunno” Just this second aaron come from behind me and joins me at the table “hey Daze….who u talking to? He asks and I grin widely at him. “you’ll never guess” I smile more giving him an excited look. “hmmm..the mayor of Aberdeen?” Aaron jokes and I give him an “I’m serious” look “here..” i give the phone and the minute he answers his mouth falls open and he looks at me in amazement. I just nod my head at him. They both seemed to be enjoying the conversation. Aaron’s smile stayed there through out the whole phone call. I just decide to call Hannah later as she was still in the shower. Aaron has finally finished the long chat with Frankie. So we sit and order our breakfast. “you heard about the party tomorrow?” aaron asks me biting on to his sandwich “what party?” I ask confused “the managers are organizing a party at the big hotel hall for everyone who worked on tour and you can bring one guest if you want” he explains and like always I am the last to know “ohh..cool” this party should be fun “yea..so I was thinking maybe we can invite Calvin” Aaron sounded a little unsure. I could understand why. “yea..great idea” I say spreading butter on my bread. I am happy I’m going to get to see Calvin again. But hopefully things go well between us.

The afternoon was very dull There was nothing to do. It was raining outside so we couldnt go to the beach or even the pool since it wasnt an indoor pool. We were just sitting in the lobby watching the big screen t.v. There was a very funny Scottish show on and it became an entertainment for both Aaron and I as we had nothing better to do. I over hear a bunch of girl dancers chatting about the party . "it's going to be so cool..i am brining Jason, the bloke i met two days ago. he is such a hottie" i hear one of them shriek in excitment as the other girls follow her lead. They then start chatting about what they are going to wear and then it suddenly hit me. "I got nothing to wear" i panic. I must have been thinking out loud cuz Aaron managed to hear me "nothing to wear for what?" he questions me with his eyes still fixed on the t.v. "Aaron, you want to go shopping?" i ask him "shopping?...ehh...i dont know..shopping with a shopholic isnt realy my idea of fun" he tells me shaking his head and laughing "oii" i hit his arm playfully "like you got anything better to do..please" i beg giving him my puppy face. "oh alright..not the puppy face..i give in" I smile at him and we both head to the mall.
We've already been at the mall for 3 hours and aaron sounds already annoyed. "Daisy, come on...I already told you ..for the 20th time on the 30th dress you try on today..IT-LOOKS-NICE" Aaron moaned complaining. "alright alright, one last question, should i get the black one or the pink one or the blue one?" i ask grining bracing myself in case aaron desicded to explode at me in agitation. "Oh My God...where is Frankie when you need her" he gave a sigh and started speaking calmly but in a still annoyed way. "look, Daisy babe...Pink , blue, black..they're all the same to me..I am not a fashion expert so how am i supposed to know?" i look at him and can't help but laugh. "okay..here is what we do" i say coming up with a plan " you go to your manly stores or wtever you cal them and when i finish shopping which will be probably in an hour we can meet infront of the mall enterance, alright?" "thats the best thing you've said all day" he kissed me cheek and runs out of the store. "Boys" i sigh shaking my head and return to my shopping. I decide to buy the black dress and head for the next store. I need to buy some christmass gifts. I have already bought Hannah's, Stacey's, and Jay's and the rest of my family. before the start of the tour. now, i sitll have to buy Aaron's and Frankie's in case i see her when i get back home.

After thrity minutes of shopping, i have already gotten Frankie a necklace and Aaron a watch cuz he keeps on asking me the time ever since he broke his watch abotu a week ago. Pleased with the gifts i bought, i continue shopping then i stop at a display in the window of a music shop. It was a beautiful guitar with a strap and its own case. The minute i see it, one person comes to my mind CALVIN Maybe i should buy him a christmas gift too. how could i have forgotten him. I step inside the shop and ask about the guitar. It was a little pricey but i didnt care. It was for Calvin. So i bought it "can you please send it to this address?" i hand the clerk Calvin's address and the clerk explains that he will recieve it ina few days. "would you like to write a not in a card to be sent with the gift?" the clerk asks me an di nod my head. I didnt know what to write really. so i decided to keep it simple. I handed the clerk the note in the card, paid for the gift, and headed to the mall enterance where Aaron would be waiting for me. "finally, got everything?" Aaron greets me. "yea thank you very much" i smile at him. "well, just so you know this is the last time i go shopping with you" hetells me and i give him a sarcastic smile "sure Aaron whatever." and we head back to the hotel.

The next morning al the girls were talking about the party. “what’s the big deal, its just a party?” I wonder to myself. “alright I called Calvin and he said he’ll join us at 8 pm” Aaron comes running to me bringing me the news “ohhh..alright” I simply reply. It was already 3 pm and the party is to start in 4 hours. I can already see the caterers coming in and out carrying the food and the drinks. The crewmen were bringing in the speakers , the C.Ds and the DJ stand. Seems like they did spend a lot on this party. I decide to go take a nap cuz I felt too tired. I lay in bed wondering how the part is going to be, especially with Calvin there. Then I hear the ringing of my cell phone. On the screen, Hannah’s name appeared. “hey Hannah” I answer the phone with a smile on my face as I haven’t talked ot her since our birthday. “YOU MET AARON AND CALVIN” she blurts out before even greeting me. “hmm..yea…I see you have been speaking to Frankie” I giggle at Frankie..what a gossip she is “AHHH..” I hear Hannah’s shriek on the phone. So I hold the phone a little further from my ear for the sake of my hearing. “calm down Hannah” I say laughing at her reaction but she doesn’t seem to take my advice. “CALM DOWN? Daisy this is big. You saw Calvin after all those years, what did you do? And how did he react? Is he still cute or did he get ugly?” Hannah was talking very loudly and very fast. “woah..okay Hannah breath with me” I joked as she started giggling. “okay, first of all, yes he is still cute and adorable not to forget hot and he’s gotten a bit taller” I start answering Hannah’s question with a dreamy look on my face as she listens attentively. “second of all, we just chatted, nothing happened and probably nothing ever will” I say disappointedly “ohhh Daisy” Hannah sighs sympathetically . Our conversation has become serious now that we started talking about any feeling that Calvin and I might have towards each other. “Daisy, you never know” Hannah was trying to be the supportive friend she is, but I knew better. “Hannah, he chucked me years ago. Nothing can ever happen between us except friendship, and I think I would be happy with just that” I was surprised at my own words and so was Hannah. We chat for ten more minutes before we hang up and I then drift into sleep. My alarm clock goes off and I extend my arm trying to reach the button to shut it off. I get out of bed and walk to the loo to wash up. It was 6 pm, only one hour before the start of the party but Adrian and Nancy were already dressed. “Daisy. you’re going to be late if you don’t start getting ready now” Adrian warns pointing at the clock. I really don’t get why everyone is making such a big deal out of this party. It’s only a party for god’s sake. I turn around and continue making my way to the loo but I can see Adrian shrug at me from the corner of my eyes. It was now 7:15 already and i was about done getting dressed when Aaron calls my cellphone. "hey Daze" i hear his voice but there is too much noise in the background. I guess that he was already downstairs at the party. "alright..im ready, i'll be there in ten minutes" i tell him and finish the last touches to my make-up. I grab my purse and make sure to lock the door before going downstairs to the hall where the party is held.

I arrive at the hall and it's already packed with people from the tour and other who i don't know. I try loking for Aaron but it was impossible finding him amongst the huge crowd. It was like trying to find a needle in a stack of hay. So i give up and walk to the refreshment stand to get my self a drink. I was so happy they had my favorite drink "Cherry Sherbet" . I helped myself poring some ina cup. I turned around in an attempt to spot Aaron but failed again. However, i did spot Adrian, Jacob, and Nancy. So i walked over to join them. "hey Daze..smokin dress" Jacob greets me as Adrian hits his chest playfully. "it's alright Adrian.. i know he is already taken..still trying to get over it" I joke and we all laugh at my sarcasm. The disco music starts getting louder so we all head to the dance floor. Of course Jacob dances with Adrian and i'm left alone. but i don't care. I dance by myself anyway. Then i feel a tap on my shoulder, so i turn around and it was Aaron. "Hey ..been lookign all over for you" he shouts so i can hear him above the music. we both start dancing. "by the way Calvin is here..he is getting a drink" he shouts one more time giving me the good news. i immediatly find my self smiling and start looking over at the refreshment stand hoping to spot Calvin.But he is nowhere to be found. Suddenly i feel two hands grab my waist from behind and turn around and i am face to face with Calvin. "looking good Ms. Evans" he smirks and I can't help but return his smile. We start dancing together and I catch Aaron winking at him. "where have you guys been i was looking for you and Aaron" i ask trying to break the silence and start a conversation. "well, I don't know about Aaron but i just stepped in" he answers shouting a little so i can hear him. I looks over his shoulder and I see Aaron dancing and chatting up a girl. "ohhh look at aaron" i tell Calvin motioning my head where Aaron was standing. Calvin turns his head, laughs and then looks back at me. "seems like Aaron scored tonight" smiling. We continue on dancing and I have to sat this was deffinetly the most fun i have had in years. It was also the closest our bodies had ever gotten since the SClub8 split. While dancing I noticed Shiela, one of the dancers, staring at Calvin and glaring at me. I didn't really understand why she was doing that so i shrugged and continued on dancing and chatting with Calvin. Then the music stopped and one of the manager starts speaking in the microphone. "first of all i would like to congratulate and thank all of you for the great success of the tour" he announces and everyone starts cheering me amongst them. They quiet down as the manager starts to speak one more time. "we've all worked so hard but i want to thank the choreographer ana for the great dance moves and putting up with the dancers" we all cheer again this time for Ana. She really did a great job. "and a special thank you to ou 3 lead dancers for their great effort Aaron Renfree, Any Banditt, and Daisy Evans" everyone starts cheering for us as i turn a shade of red. I spot Calvin whistling and cheering "YES DAISY" it just makes me so happy. "and now have fun and enjoy the rest of the party' the manager steps off the stage and the music starts again, but this time it was slow music. Calvin holds his hands out to me and i accept. He pulls me closer as I lay my hand on his shoulders. "have your eyes gotten lighter?" Calvin asks smiling and staring in my eyes. "hmm..i dunno..have they? you used to love them so you should know them better than i do" I smile cheekly at him and we carry on dancing. Then suddenly I see a glaring shiela come over to us. "hey" she said "yor name is Calvin, right?" she asks Calvin and we both stop dancing. Andy comes over abd asks me for a dance. I feel bad cuz i have already turned him down the last dance. plus shiela did the same to Calvin and soon we are seperated an dancing with different partners. As i am dancing with Andy he starts babbling but i tune him out. I am not even listening. My eyes and mind are both fixed on Calvin who was dancing with Shiela. I watch Shiela flirt with him. Calvin looks kind of uncomfortable but seems to go along with what shiela was doing. then i see shiela make the move and kiss Calvin's cheek moving down to his lips. I see this and i feel my heart shatter. I ran out of the hall and i hear Calvin's and Aaron's foot steps behind me as they try to catch up with me

I keep on running..i don’t want to talk to anyone so I run to my room. I think Aaron and Calvin were still following me.. As I reach my room I lock the door behind me and plop in my pillow sobbing. This was too much for me. I want to get out of here as soon as possible. I want to go home. I thought seeing Calvin again would help me, but it is just causing more hurt. I hear a banging on my door. It was Calvin “Daisy…open up please…Daisy please” he shouts from the other side of the door “I didn’t want to face him, not right now. “Calvin go away please” I urge him but he doesn’t give up. He keeps on banging on the door. Then I hear Aaron’s voice “Daisy..open the door. I’m here too, please we need to talk” somehow when I heard Aaron’s voice opening the door didn’t seem like such a bad idea. At least Aaron is going to be there and I won’t have to face Calvin alone. I walk slowly to the door and swing it open, revealing Aaron and Calvin who was rubbing his hands after all the knocking he did. “look Daisy, I’m sorry.. I didn’t even know her” Calvin tries apologizing but I only stare back at him. “why are you apologizing. there is nothing between us..you can go snogging whoever you want if you like” I say furiously and turn my head to the window not wanting him to see the tears developing in my eyes. “Daisy..who are you kidding. Its obvious that you still have feelings for me and I don’t want to hurt you” he tried to look me in the eyes but I shun him. “hurt?..you don’t want to hurt me?” I say as if what he said was ridiculous “and what exactly did you do 6 years ago when you chucked me..you didn’t call that hurt..or all of a sudden my feelings matter for you” I was filled with anger at the moment and I couldn’t stand him being in my eye sight. He looks at me incredulously Then he starts speaking again “Daisy, I tried ..you are the one who didn’t want this relationship to work..you gave up easily on us..you know I was hurt too” “hurt?” again that word sounds ridiculous to me when he says it “you know nothing about hurt…do you know what its like to live unable to make a relationship work because everyone you meet you find yourself measuring them in accordance to the standards of that one person you keep on thinking of” by then my cheeks were all wet and I couldn’t hide y tears anymore. Aaron was just standing there watching us with confused and sympathetic looks on his face. Calvin was now silent staring at my face. I think he was on the verge of tears too. This was just too much for the both us ..I always dreaded this moment when the out book of the past would be re-opened bringing all the pain along with it. “what happened then…why did you give up on us when I loved you so much” Calvin asks me almost whispering and in tears “I didn’t’ give up on us Cal, you did..” I walk slowly towards him “why did you chuck me?” I ask very calmly Calvin looks confused again “I didn’t..i kept on sending you letters hoping you would reply to one of them but you didn’t” “what?..i didn’t get letters from you” I don’t know what he is talking about. Calvin stares at me again confused “I sent you like a 100 letters” “Calvin, I said I didn’t get anything from you” I couldn’t take the pressure anymore. There was too much tension in the room I see Calvin starting to walk very slowly towards me. He puts his hand on my cheek but then backs away “this too much…good bye Daisy” he says and exits the room I touch my cheek with my fingers and turn to my bed where Aaron was sitting. He was torn didn’t know whether to stay with me or to go after Calvin, but he decided to stay and comfort me. I sob in his chest like I did before two nights ago. “Daisy…” he speaks up “ you love him don’t you?” I look up and nod my head in tears as Aaron hugs me again

The next morning i wake up feeling the worst. Aaron had insisted i sleep the night in his room. i slept again in his bed leaving him the couch. I wake up finding him sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. I don't even feel like saying good morning. I just sit up in bed remembering last night's events. did i over react? or was it really Calvin's fault? "Daisy you're up" i see aaron rush to me side of the bed. "are you feeling alright?" he asks very concerned and i just nod silently. "lets go eat breakfastt downstairs" he says grabbing my hand and trying to pull me out of bed. "no" i refuse the invitation. "i don't really feel like it..i don't to go out at all"I explain my refusal but Aaron says nothing. He only shakes his head disapprovingly. "Daisy, you can't do this to yourself just because of Calvin" hearing Calvin's name didn't help at all instead I started sobbing one more time. I spend the whole afternoon with aaron in his hotel room. I feel bad because he insisted on staying with me. HHowever, he would occasionally leave me and go out to run some errands.
AARON's POV, I go downstairs to get a drink and ask the hotel receptionist for soem asprin for Daisy. Poor Daisy, I could have never thought her state of mind would worsen like that . she hasn't eaten anything since last night. I tried ordering food service to the room but i ended up eating half her plate as she refused to touch it. and now she has this terrible headache. "excuse me, do you have asprin?" i ask the worker politely and he goes to fetch me a packet of asprins. As i wait for him to com eback me phone starts rining. It's an unfamiliar number but i answer it anyway. "hello" i say putting the phone ver my ears. "hi Aaron" it was Calvin i could tell from his voice. "hey, where are you calling from?" i ask remembering the strange number which meant he wasn't calling from his home or cellphone. "ohh..I am at a gig in a town about 4 hours away from aberdeen...i got no signal on my cell" he explains hastly "but anyway, thats not important..how is Daisy?" i can tell from the estreme concern in his tone that he was worried sick. "she is..well..alive ut not too well" i didn't want to lie. I have had enough of lieing. "oh no..what is happened to her..its all my fault" Calvin tells me his voice is breaking. "Aaron promise me you will take good care of her and try ot take her to the beach ofr a walk...that always cheers her up" he continued and then fell silent. wow..he still remembers her favorite things and what cheers her up.. "Calvin.." i say breaking the silence " why did you do it?" i hesitantly ask him. "do what?" Calvin was now confused. "why did yu chuck her if you really loved her..and I know you still do so don't lie to me and tell me you don't" i say and i obviously have stepped on the main point of the the situation as Calvin is silenced. "Aaron, swear on her life which is the most precious thing to me, i didn't chuck her...i sent her so many nice boyfriend letters but she never replied any of them...I thought she didn't want to go on in our relationship and didn't want to be rude so she just decided not to reply" Calvin finally gives me an explaination. "but she said she didn't recieve ant letters from you" i remember what Daisy had said about the letters earlier last night. "i didn't really get it when she said that..i mean how could she not recieve any of the many letters i sent her...unless an alien would have sucked the letter out of the mailbox" Calvin joked. He was always a joker even in the toughest situations. "listen..i got to go now..we're going start performing soon so talk to you later and take good care of Daisy" he tells me. "i will" i reply still pondering the enigma about the unrecieved letters. "oh yea Aaron, don't tell Daisy I called" i hear him say in a very quiet tone of voice. "i won't" i simply promise. I understand why he wouldn't want her to know..the stubborn git. The receptionist finally returns with the packet of asprin and i head back to my room where Daisy is probably still waiting.
"how can she not recieve the letters unless an alien would have sucked it out of the mail box"
Calvin's words ring in my ears and my head starts to hurt trying to think of an esplaination for the unrecieved letterd as i turn the knob to my hotel room. Then it hits me and i run to Daisy's side of the bed.

Daisy POV, I lay in bed too tired to even get up. Then I see the room door swing open revealing Aaron who was carrying a bunch of little packets in right hand and a drink in his left. “hey..where’ve you been?” I ask dully “oh..here..i got you some aspirin” he chucks the packets on the table handing me one of them. Aaron takes a seat right by left side of the bed and smiles sweetly. “are you feeling better?” I hear him ask me for the hundredth time today. I give a faint giggle “Aaron, its not like I just go tout of surgery you know..i am fine just a little upset, it happens to everyone” I assure him smiling. “Daisy” he calls my name again and I look up at him “there is something we need to talk about?” he tells me his face becoming very serious. “what is it? Something wrong?” I am getting kind of worried now..i don’t want to hear any more bad news. I have been through enough last night. “oh no..don’t worry im fine…its about Calvin” Aaron’s was hesitant in his speech. I can tell he was afraid to upset me I sigh look out the window then look back at Aaron “alright. What about Calvin?” I finally reply “well…its not really about Calvin..but I want to ask you a question” “sure..go ahead” I say waiting for his question “ was there anybody who fancied you while you and Calvin were dating?” aaron asks me this strange question as I give him the weirdest look “hmmm…yea..Josh Jacobs..anyway, wt does this have to do with Calvin?” I really don’t understand where Aaron is heading with this, “Daisy..just go along with me..how did u know he fancied you?” he aks yet another strange question. I shrug “well..he told me that himself..told me that he fancied me for ages ..actually he got really mad when I told him I was dating Calvin..i felt really bad and the fact that he lived right across the street didn’t help at all as he was always in my face” I answer aaron’s question remembering Josh “wait” Aaron jumped..”he lived right across the street?” He asks and seriously the look on his face was starting to scare me.. ‘yeeeaaahhh” I say slowly, bewildered at Aaron’s reaction. “okay..this is starting to connect here…how did that josh guy react when you told him that you and Calvin are dating?” okay..thats it..Aaron has gone bonkers what is he talking about I wonder. “well…of course he got mad and kept glaring at me until we split, then he became nice of a sudden…you know he was the one who comforted me when Calvin chucked me..we got together afterwards” I explain more as I see Aaron all of a sudden interested in my love life. “you got together?” aaron exclaims “yea” I simple reply. Aaron starts pacing back and forth infront of the bed..it looks like he is deeply thinking about something or solving an equation. “Aaron come here..let me feel your head” that was the first I get out of bed that day. I walk to Aaron and stop him “Daisy..are you sure u didn’t get ANY letters from Calvin?” he asks me another question…what is this, has he given up on dancing wants to be an investigator all of a sudden? “hmm I did get one..the one that he chucked me in” I say frowning remembering the memory. “do you have the letter on you?” Aaron asks and I go to fetch it from my room. He is really starting to annoy me now. I come a minute later with the letter in my hand, Aaron snatches it from my hand and i glare at him. This is the first time he has annoyed me this whole trip. He starting to become like the annoying Aaron I used to know. I see him staring at the letter reading it, then he looks up at me.. “how are you sure if Calvin wrote this..you can’t tell cuz its typed” he says giving a pondering look. “ohhh..well..i dunno, it has the address” I never really thought of that before. How can I be so stupid. “OMG….you don think someone wrote this and send it to me” I gasp as if I have just seen a shadow Aaron looks back with a mischievous smile “JOSH” we both say at the same time answering my question

"Josh" we both say at the same time "you think he would be that devious and that evil to do such a thing?' I ask Aaron knowing very well that i am also asking myself the same question. " you know him more than i do Daisy...so you tell me the answer" but i dont say a word..i fall into silence as new emotions run me over. If Calvin didn't really send me this letter, then he didn't really chuck me. "nut it says in th eletter that he had his arm broken, and that was why he had to type the letter, so maybe it is Calvin" i say still kicking the idea around in my head. I look at Aaron and i notice a very strange expression on his face. "Daisy,..why are you trying to negate every argument in Calvin's defense...i thought you would want the opposite" he tells me in disbelief. I didn't know what to say.. I just stood there in silence staring out the window. "but how do we prove that Josh really did it?" I finally speak again. "well...there really isn't any was to do so."he tells me disappointed " however, it all goes back to you Daisy...you know both of them..Would Calin really have chucked you and still look at you in the same way he did last night OR were you two tricked in a con that resulted in ur break-up" Aaron gives me his wise words and with that he exits the room leaving me alone to think. My life is so complicated. I always thought I would meet the man of my dreams, fall in love, get married, and live happily ever after. I swear I must have one of the strangest love lifes in history. I plop on th ebed resting my back. My mind starts to go back in time...6 years ago --------------- FLASH BACK---------------
I remember the day we had to part..we were at the airport. "bye babe" Calvin tells me hugging me tightly in his arms. "I am going to miss you sooo much" I say sobbing in his chest but making sure i dont ruin my mascara as we were in public. "I will try to talk to my parents and see if i can move or atleast visit in the summer: he tells me trying to make me feel better. "well..my flight to Aberdeen is here babe..i have to go now" I nod my head and he snogs me fo rone last time before leaving.. i watch him say goodbye to the others and walk away towards the gate. He turns around an di wave to him. "remember you'll always be my girl, bye babe" he shouts it out to me and disappears into the tunnel leading to the ariplane. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ One Morning Two Months Later, "DAISY, i saw the postman minutes ago dropping a letter in our mailbox..go get ot for me will ya?" my mom shouts from downstairs in thee kitchen so that i can hear her upstairs in my room. "HOLD ON MOM, i'm fixing my hair" i shout back in the same tone. "it might be from Calvin" she shouts again but this time i rush downstairs out the door to the mailbox However, i find it open and there was nothing inside..no letter. I go back in the house " mom, that's not funny" i tell her angerily "what's not funny?" she asks me confused still cutting the tomatoes for the salad. "there was no letter" i say angry at her. "what?..no way..i just saw the postman out it in" she didn't look like she was joking but i was still mad anyway. ---------END OF FLASH BACK -------
With this memory, i snapped back to reality. Oh my god..i remember. Josh could be the one who took the letters so I'd think Calvin didn't care about me. I feel my heart beating faster. I am not sure if it is because of happiness that Calvin really did love and care about our relationship or is it because of fear that it's too late for anything to happen again with me and Calvin. I go to my room to get dressed into a better casual outfit and run downstairs to find Aaron.

I run downstairs. I am filled with excitement and had to find Aaron. I don’t even have the patience to wait for the lift, so I jjuts use the stairs. I run into the hotel lobby and my eyes wander around searching for Aaron. Finally I spot him among a crowd of guys, probably his mates. I rush towards him and grab his arm pulling him to the side away from the crowd. “Aaron. it’s not him” I say breathlessly with a huge grin on my face. “it’s not him…he did love me” I repeat the words to a very confused Aaron. “woah woah, Daisy. Calm down. What’s not who?” he asks me looking at me like I was speaking a foreign language “Calvin,” I blurt out as if stating the obvious “he didn’t write that letter Aaron..he really did love me” I see a grin overcome Aaron’s once confused face. “took you that long to figure it out huh?” he jokes and I hit his chest playfully “I want to see him now..lets go to him” I take Aaron’s hand and pull him to the hotel exit. “woah woah…chill down there girl” he stops me and I can’t help but laugh at the way he said it. “what?” o ask in between giggles “Calvin is not in town right now…he is doing a gig out of town, he’s probably going to be coming back by tomorrow night” Aaron explains and the frown comes back to my face. “aww, I wanted to see him” I protest frowning more “wait a minute” I suddenly realize something “how do you know that he is out of town?” I ask smirking mischievously “w..w..well” I can tell Aaron was hesitating to tell me “ I am not supposed ot tell you, but he called earlier this morning when you were upstairs to check on you” he tells me and I smile faintly. “wow..he did huh?” that’s really sweet of him. Could that mean he might still love me? But then again he might have simply been trying to be a good friend. How didn’t I think of that before? For all I know Calvin might not share me the same feelings I have for him. Even though I am now sure that he did love me till the end in the past, it is long ago and I can’t be sure that he still does till this minute. Confusion and fear knock my door once again and I welcome them in my life as usual. However, my thoughts are then interrupted by a loud noise. I turn my head and notice a number of the dancers and tour crewmen chatting happily. Then Nancy runs to where Aaron and I are standing. “what happened?” I ask investigating the unusual excitement in everyone’s faces. “yea..why is everyone so happy?” Aaron confirms my question. “oh…London flights fly home tomorrow…finally” Nancy answers merrily. “What? What do you mean..i thought we were going to stay here one more day” oh no I didn’t want it to be true. “well, London flights cleared out and since most of us are from London them most of us get to go home..” Nancy tells me quickly before running off with Adrian and Jacob. I frown with a frightened look on my face. Then I turn to Aaron again. I think he understands what I was thinking. This means I won’t get to see Calvin before I leave. My happiness fades away as I walk slowly back to my room.
