33: I Still Do

Hailey's pov:

Seeing her leave was like getting a piece of me taken away. Everyone already left the airport. It was just Jack and me. I broke down into tears and my chest started to feel heavy. Jack ran up to me and hugged me tightly. "Jack.. What am I going to do without her.. I know I should just support her and be happy for her but I have a really bad feeling about this. She's my rock I.. I can't lose her. Jack, I can't lose her" I sobbed into his chest. I felt panicky again. I haven't in a while but it was happening again. "Baby... Help.." I looked up at him. He slowly kissed my forehead and it calmed me down a lot. "Take a deep breath with me, love" "I-it hurts Jac-" "shh.... I know..." I took a shaky breath. "Good job. Again, angel." I kept taking deep breaths slowly until I was fully calm. I started to cry a bit and he hugged me again. "You guys will talk every day.. She needs you just as much as you need her. She loves you so much." He kissed my cheek. "I know... I just hope she gets the happiness she deserves." "She will. I promise."

2 Months Later...

Daniel's pov:

"You guys ready?" Our stage manager asked and we all nodded. We had a show today that was in the area. I really wasn't in the mood to be performing. I'm not in the right headspace and my excitement just wasn't there. We walked out on stage and the fans started cheering. It made me smile a little. We sang a few songs and I added my own notes here and there. I even went up really close to the crowd and they went crazy. The next song was In Too deep. I took a big sigh and got into position. This song always made me emotional. Jonah started to sing and every word reminded me of Brook. It was my turn. "I heard your sirens call, It was beautiful." I thought of listening to her voice for hours when I dropped off the key. The song went on a little longer and it was my part again. I couldn't hold it in anymore. I started to cry a little and my voice started to crack. It wasn't super noticeable but the guys noticed for sure. I couldn't continue. I stopped in the middle of singing and Jonah finished my part for me. I took a few deep breaths and by the end of the song, I was calm. A couple of songs later the show ended and we all went to the green room. "Daniel are you ok?" Jonah asked and I looked down. "I just miss her so much... I want to go back to her but I would just hurt her again. And it's not like she'll take me back anyway. I wish I still had her. I wish I wasn't such an idiot." everyone went silent. We all laid down on the couches and everyone else fell asleep because they were exhausted. I didn't though. I just sat there in silence. I got some inspiration for a song so a grabbed a notebook and started to write. There is no better view than watching you stip down after we argue. "New song idea?" Jonah peered over my shoulder and I nodded. I didn't even notice he was awake. I started to write more and Jonah helped. We got to the second verse. "What about 'Stick to my word when I say I don't want you back. But what if I did, don't hold it against me. 'Cause you got the upper hand now that I'm lonely and I feel the past pulling my body to tell you I'm sorry.'" "You came up with that based on what I said earlier didn't you." He nodded. The rest of the guys woke up and also helped. We eventually finished writing the song together. After a few awful name choices and some good ones, we decided to name it I Still Do. I smiled at what we wrote. I have a good feeling about this song.

3 months later (5 months after Brook left)...

Brook's pov:

I was in my old room and I got a notification on my phone that the guys posted a new song. During these last couple of months, I drifted from everyone. We barely ever talk because one of us is always busy. I felt bad for drifting. It was like something was missing. I hit play on the song, close my eyes, and listened. Daniel started to sing the second verse and I took a deep breath. His voice still gave me butterflies. "Stick to my word when I say I don't want you back. But what if I did, don't hold it against me. 'Cause you got the upper ha-"  "Hey, baby. What are you doing?" He walked in and I got slightly annoyed as he interrupted Daniel's part. "The guys dropped a new song." He rolled his eyes a little. "I thought I asked you to stop listening to them." I shook my head annoyed. "I can't just stop listening to them.. They're my friends." "Your friends that haven't called or texted you in the last 3 months." I got a little emotional. "They're.. just busy.." "Whatever... Have you talked to Hailey?" He asked and I shook my head no. "You're going to lose her too." My heart dropped. Why was he being such an asshole? I'm not going to lose her. I won't. I ran to the bathroom in tears. It's like he didn't even care. I stood there crying thinking about what it would be like without her. A couple of minutes later I heard a know at the door. "There's someone at the door for you." I wipe away my tears and wash my face. I slowly open the bathroom door and as I walk downstairs I see my parents waiting for me to open the door. I opened it and my eyes got teary again. I was speechless.. "Who is it?" I heard my mom but I couldn't say anything.
