She was wonderful, and he was just perfect. Adam first saw her sitting by a ity bity drug store reading a huge book upside down, chewing on too much liquorice, and wearing hideous white boots. They were ugly'¦ugly so ugly. Every now and then she would squint her eyes real tight hold her breath and stay that way for maybe five seconds, then she'd open her eyes again and exhale slowy and loudly. He heard her then mumble very quietly "Now I'm an angel." Adam didn't really like what she was doing'¦she looked weird. He moved closer and closer to her, only thinking maybe she can be his friend. "hi" Adam whispered'¦.She looked up at him and quickly smiled, then turned her focus back to her huge book. "I hope you are aware that you book is upside down." She looked up at the boy in disgust. A smile formed on her face again and she then said, "It is not, Look!" she turned her book over to face the boy. It was indeed upside down.
Adam offered her to come home with him that night he wanted to get to know his new friend, since she had nothing better to do she accepted.
His apartment was very small and decorated very odd like, disturbing pictures on his wall scared the girl and made her uncomfortable. "I think I have some old wine in my pantry, would you like a glass?" She nodded. As he was in the other room the girl went through all his papers and drawers looking for crayons, she wanted to copy all the pictures on his walls. When he came back he saw her sitting in a box putting marker on her already painted finger nails. "look!" She jumped out of the box and stumbled over to him putting her finger nails an inch away from his face. He noticed that she had taken all of the daisies out of his red vase, and put them in her hair.
"uhh, I didn't get your name'¦" Adam said.
She examined his face very closely and smiled "Call me whatever you like. I don't mind."
He put his hands to his chin and pretended to look very deep in thought trying to figure out what to call her.
She began to mimic him.
"I noticed you like my daisies." He said
She didn't look at him, but responded with a "mmmhhmm."
"So, I think that I'll call you daisy."
"Oki poki." She smiled and sipped her wine.


Daisy needed to go home, so they began to walk down the old train tracks, which everybody knew that if you walked down them long enough you'd reach a cliff where a bridge had broken to pieces many years ago.

Daisy soon made a regular visit to Adams home everyday,and months went by and they both grew very close, They fell madly in love. Every Friday night Adam would pick her up and take her to his place. They would light millions of candles they bought together and daisy would dress up as a fairy, or a princess, and she wore her ugly white boots'¦which Adam soon grew to love. She also brought a bag with her filled with stories, games, and a bag of glitter. She would throw glitter everywhere and make wishes on stars that their love would last forever and ever'¦'¦'¦'¦

"How far would you go with me Adam." Daisy said
"I'd would go to the end of the world, and die with you Daisy."


They packed their things and ran away, far away from home, they were free and happy. All they needed were each other, but that wasn't enough.
He asked her what she wanted more than anything in the world
And she said'¦. "I want to be an angel."
Adam smiled, he wanted to be an angel too, and live with his lovely
Daisy in heaven.


It was a cold winter morning, the sky was very dim, there were no animals playing in the green grass, and no birds flying in the sky. It was raining hard, but it was beautiful, it smelled fresh and looked fabulous.
Adam and Daisy were dressed up that day, and they ran through the rain getting their hair soaking wet and makeup bleeded from both their eyes and lips. It started to rain heavier and thunder and lighting began.
They walked down the old train tracks, all the way to the end, where the bridge had broken off, and all you can see is forever when you look down below. They were standing on the last bit of the train track that went a little past the cliff's edge, and Daisy looked up at Adam and adjusted her costume Angel wings, and he looked down at her and sqeezed her hand tightly. They both slowly turned around, their backs facing the world. "Listen to me." Daisy began'¦ "Close your eyes, and hold your breath." They looked at one another with so much feeling and kissed. Then it happened. In a split second, Adam and daisy leaned back and let their bodies fall'¦'¦ "now we are angels" was the last thing Adam whispered.
