Daisy
After I am dressed I go downstairs to meet Henry and Roman. I sit in the living room until they both come down along with James and Noah. Still no Xander though. Where is he? Is he avoiding me? What did I do wrong?
"Okay bye baby. I love you and have fun." James opens his arms and I step into the hug.
"Bye sweetheart! Boys if something happens you two," he says pointing at them then makes the motion of a knife cutting his neck. "Are. Toast."
I giggle. I like toast.
They hear my giggle and I see as all of their eyes soften. Why are they staring at me.
After a while we get into another fancy looking car. They sit in the front and I'm in the back. During the ride I take in my surroundings because this is the first time I have ever left the house.
Anxiety starts setting in about the mall. What if I get lost? What if someone takes me or judge me? I'm not all that to look at but still, people have a thing for hating me.
They pull into the mall parking lot and I just know that I can't do this. All of the cars and the people outside walking in I know that I can't do this.
I don't want to go.
Roman opens my door and offers his hand. He helps me out of the car. Gently he takes my hand starting yo walk towards the entrance. My hand hand starts trembling and when he feels it he gives my hand a squeeze. "Everything will be alright." He reassures me.
I nod, Henry is on the other side of me but I still feel unprotected. Too many people I don't know. As we walk I start losing my senses. At first I can't hear. Everything sounds muffled which only increases my panic. My heart is beating a million miles a minute and I feel bile coming up my throat. My heart feels like it's being squeezed and all the air is knocked out of my lungs as we walk through the doors. I look around and see hundreds of people. I can't do this, I can't do this, I can't do this.
The last thing I feel is my body being picked up. I pass out hearing muffled panicked voices from my brothers.

Roman
I notice Daisy was nervous in the car so I offered her my hand when we got there. We walked hand in hand with Henry on the other side of her.
Something was off though.
The closer we got the more her hand gripped mine. I didn't think anything of it besides for nerves because I was too busy looking out for cars.
Or enemies.
But once we entered the mall, I noticed her laboured breathing. I looked down to see her panicking. She kept repeating over and over again that she couldn't do this. I looked at Henry who was staring at her with panic all over his own face.
She gets pretty pale and looks like she is going to pass out so he quickly reaches for her and picks her up. She passes out in his arms and we take off running to the car.
He passes me the keys as he gets in the backseat. I start driving the way home. All I can feel is panic and guilt.
I should've noticed sooner.

Henry
I now have an unconscious Daisy in my arms. She's breathing and her heart rate has dropped to a somewhat normal pace since I picked her up.
I should've noticed sooner.
"Roman call James." I order him. It only rings twice before he answers.
"Hey hows shopping going?"
"She had a massive anxiety attack once we entered the mall we are on our way back." I told him.
"Is she okay can I talk to her?" He sounds just as panicked as we feel.
"She's unconscious. Passed out." Rome explains.
"Fuck. How much longer?"
"Ten minutes."
"I'll meet you at the front door."
With that we hang up. It was a quick ride with Romes fast driving. We get home and out comes James before we even turned the engine off. As soon as he reaches me he grabs Daisy out of my grip and rushes inside. He sets her in her room and sits next to her.
He tucks her into her bed making sure she will be comfortable before looking back up at us. "She should wake up soon," James says. "Roman and Henry can you get water and medicine?" We follow his orders getting her the stuff she needs. I just hope she is okay.

I wake up with a massive headache. My stomach is churning and I feel the need to throw up. When I open my eyes I instantly regret it because of the bright light coming from my window. I bolt out of bed into the bathroom not even acknowledging James who was sitting beside my bed.
Once I make it to the toilet I empty my stomach while he holds my hair back.
"It's okay, it's okay," He reassures me while holding my hair with one arm and rubbing my back with the other.
"Let's get you back to bed." He mumble once I am finished. He picks me up and sets me on the bed tucking me in and giving my forehead a quick kiss. Not even a second later Henry and Roman come in to the room with a worried look when they see me.
"You look pale." Roman states.
"I-I threw up." I croak my voice raspy. Roman comes over to me and hugs me. I hug him back as he smooths out my hair.
"I'm sorry I should've noticed sooner." He apologizes. Why is he apologizing he did nothing wrong?
"It's okay, it's not your fault." He nods in response still hugging me. I don't think he believes me. "I love hugs." I tell him honestly.
"You do?" Henry questions with a smile.
"Yup!"
"Looks like we will be giving you more hugs then."
I giggle and then I yawn still in Romans embrace. "I'm tired" I whisper to no one in particular.
"Okay we will let you get some rest okay?" James squeezes my shoulder. I nod against Roman. He is so warm and smells good.
Roman goes to move away from our hug but I start to whine like a child. I don't want him to leave. I feel safe. They chuckle at me seeing my hands gripping onto Romans shirt.
"I'll stay with you how about that?" He asks smiling looking down at me.
"I'd like that." I smile back at him. I then look back to Henry. "I'm sorry about the shopping trip. We can try and go again tomorrow." I try to convince myself that I'll be fine. I really want to hang out with them. If that means going back to that hell than so be it.
"Nope."
"But I-," he cuts me off.
"Later, when you are feeling better, the two of us can sit down get my laptop out and online shop instead. I don't want that to happen again."
I like that idea. Nodding my head against Romans chest feeling quite sleepy. "G'night," I mumble to them against Romans chest.
"Goodnight baby."
"Goodnight sweetheart."
They both say at the same time as they leave the room. Roman kisses the top of my head and tells me to go to sleep and in less than a minute I'm out like a light.

That's today's chapter. So I have about 12 more pre-written chapters, so I will try to update every day while writing new chapters.
I hope that's alright.
I'm also editing as I go along so if there are any mistakes let me know.
Also I just want to warn you guys that there are a lot of POV changes in this book. I like writing different views and I try my hardest to make it known who is speaking and what not.
Thank you for the votes!
Lots of love 💕
