Emily had just woken up. She grabbed her phone to see 2 missed calls from Daisy. It was only yesterday when she had gotten into a fight. Her head throbbed like crazy. She groaned before getting up and meanwhile opening the messages from Daisy.
It was link to some article. She clicked on the link to see pictures of her and Liam from yesterday. Her eyes widened as she let out a yell.
The pictures were of her and Liam eating ice cream and laughing and one where Emily put her hand on Liam's arm to calm him down in order to control him from punching the paps.
She ran down the stairs in her shorts to see Sean, Liam, Adam, Louis and Harry already sitting there and discussing the situation.
She flushed as she realised she was wearing only a tank top and a pair of very short shorts.
"Go put on something decent then come down" said Louis before turning back to the 4 others. It seemed like a trivial matter and bloody hell it was. Liam's manager was adamant on making a big fuss.
Emily quickly put on Daisy's hoodie and a pair of grey leggings and pulled her hair into a bun before heading back down. Her eyes were still red from just waking up and her shoulders were tensed.
"So what if they date for a few weeks!?" Said Adam for the millonth time.
"She's fucking 20 for God's sake. Liam is 31. 11 years age gap. CAN'T YOU SEE THAT" yelled Louis.
"Calm down Louis. Adam, this is a very small matter. It can be easily controlled by simple tweets"
"They won't believe tweets"
"Did you sell your brains off or something?" Louis sneered.
"Look, Emily can make a public appearance with her girlfriend Daisy, if she doesn't mind off course and that's IT" said Sean.
Everyone looked at Emily for confirmation.
"I'll ask Daisy" she dialed her number to have some unknown woman pick up the call.
Emily furrowed her eyebrows and tried to recognize the voice.
"Erm, is Daisy there?"
"Yeah but she is sleeping, who are you?" The woman asked.
"Was my name not visible on the phone screen" she asked, getting up from her seat.
"It said Emily, but who are you to her?" She asked.
"WHO ARE YOU!? WHY IS DAISY'S PHONE WITH YOU?" She asked, her anger rising.
"Daisy was quite drunk so I brought her to my home-"
"Its like 4 am there.... Daisy didn't mention a party"
"Maybe not to you, who are you anyways" she asked. Emily felt hurt. She had just talked to Daisy yesterday and now an unknown woman picked up her call.
"I'm her girlfriend" she snapped before hanging up. She turned around to see everyone looking at her. "What!? I'm going to New York" she grumbled before going to her room to pack her things.
It was understood that Louis or Harry or Sean had to book a flight for her. They did so without protesting because honestly after yesterday's episode, they were scared.
Emily grabbed a loose sweater of her Papa and a pair of skinny jeans. She had been crying as she packed her bag. She washed her face before putting on a pair of shades to cover her red eyes.
"Well.... if we break up then.... then.... then I'll just tweet something. If not (there are very less chances of that), then I'll post a picture with Daisy and I kissing and I think that will solves everyone's doubts" she said before storming out of the house and getting into the taxi.
Harry and Louis decided to let her go and solve her matters on her own. She was big enough to handle her things now.

Daisy woke up with a bad headache. She groaned into the foreign pillow and tried to adjust her eyes to the bright room. She saw a glass of water and an Advil on the table. She thanked God before grabbing the tablet and gulping the water down.
"Feeling better?" The woman asked.
"I JUST took the advil. It will take some food for it to kick in"
The woman chuckled before replying that the breakfast will be ready in 10 minutes. However she forgot to mention about Daisy's girlfriend's call.
After having her breakfast and feeling a little better, Daisy bid goodbye to her friend and left for her house in the train. She was so hungover that she dozed off on the metro to reach the last station. She was woken up by some random dude. She sighed as she took another ticket five stations back to where her apartment was.
She reached the apartment and got in. She climbed the 7 flights of stairs because the elevator wasn't working. She saw Emily waiting at the stairs. Her head was in her hands and her long hair covered her face.
"Em?" She asked. Emily looked up and saw a very tired Daisy at the stairs with an amused expression.
"YOU FUCKING BITCH!!" She yelled before throwing her backpack at her which cased Daisy to stumble down the stairs.
"What? Em-"
"WHAT!? YOU ARE CHEATING ON ME AND YOU ARE ASKING WHAT" Emily snarled.
"Cheating?? WHAT BULLSHIT ARE YOU SAYING!?"
"Is it true that you went to a party last night?" Emily asked with crossed arms and a stern voice, lowering her volume as she took a deep breath to calm.her anger down.
"Yes, why?" Daisy asked imitating Emily's actions.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"It might have slipped my mind. I don't know" Daisy shrugged.
"Where did you go?" Emily asked.
"What interrogation are you doing Emily?" Daisy asked, annoyed of all the questions, the hangover taking a toll on her.
"WHERE DID YOU GO" she asked firmly.
"Phoenix club" Daisy answered.
"That's a gay bar" Emily slowly whispered.
"Yeah, so?"
"Where were you this morning?" Emily ignored Daisy's question.
"At a friend's place" said Daisy.
"Who is this friend?" Emily raised her eyebrows.
"Carol Wood. She's with me at fashion school"
"She went with you to the Phoenix bar?"
"Off course she did. She's gay, I am gay, all my friends are gay" Daisy said.
"Is there something going on between Carol and you?" Emily asked slowly, scared of what the answer might be.
"What? That's ridiculous Emily-"
"Is there?" She asked again.
"I- Emily- " Daisy fumbled with her words.
"Daisy you are making me anxious" Emily spoke throught gritted teeth.
"We- we had sex once" Daisy finally spoke.
Emily's shoulders fell down. The lips that were in a thin line throughout their interaction dropped immediately. She pulled her shades that rested on her head to her eyes because she could feel her eyes watering.
"That was once Emily, once" Daisy pleaded.
"When" Emily croaked.
"Last year" Daisy was looking down at her feet, guilt seeping through every bone in her body.
Daisy was about to say something when a man came with a bouquet of red roses and a card.
"Who's Daisy?" He asked with a smile.
"I am Daisy"
"Well, these are for you Miss Daisy. Miss Woods says that she remembers what happened and it will be a happy memory for her forever" he said before leaving.
"So today it happened.... Just a day after our anniversary...."
"I was sad that I wasn't with you Emily"
"That's no excuse" Said Emily before reaching her neck. She pulled out the pendant before grabbing Daisy's hand and keeping it in her hands. "Better start wearing a 'Carol' necklace from tomorrow" she growled in a low menacing voice.
She grabbed her bags before leaving the apartment. She dragged her suitcase out of the building and looked at the busy streets. She bit her lip to stop herself from crying before breaking down and sitting on her suitcase to take in the reality.
Her heart was broken in a million pieces. She couldn't wrap her mind around the fact that Daisy did such a thing. Moreover, she lost both a girlfriend and a bestfriend.
