Ruby's POV

NEXT DAY

'The plane has just landed, be out in about half an hour xx' A text from Danni came through. I replied to notify her that I'd be waiting outside just before calling a taxi.

 30 minutes went past pretty quickly and I saw Danni coming out of the airport entrance, pulling a suitcase behind her so I ran over to greet her and help her with her other bag.

"I can't believe you're here!" I grinned as we walked back over to the taxi.

"Neither can I do to be honest, the things I do for you..." She laughed. "It's so lovely and hot here!"

"I know, I actually have a bit of a tan coming along to make a change,"

We climbed into the taxi and I asked for him to drive us back to the hotel I'd been staying at.

"It's pretty nice, but not quite where I expected to be staying whilst in LA." I explained to Danni.

"I bet not... I think we should go visit him, I just don't think you should leave all of this as enemies - at least try being friends if you can." It heard to hear it but I knew she was right, I didn't want this hanging over me forever.

A notification sounded on Danni's phone so she looked down to see who it was, her face dropping once she saw it. "What is it?" I asked with worry.

She showed me her phone, a text from Beau on the screen. 'I heard you were coming to LA! I need to see you when you arive, please Xxx'

"He probably thinks now that I'm not thousands of miles away I'll just get back with him again, why are boys so stupid?" She asked, making me laugh in agreement.

"Especially when their last name is Brooks." I added.

We finally arrived at the hotel and I helped unload Danni's bags, paying the driver before we headed into the hotel to my room. It was luckily quite a large room with two double beds so we'd have enough room to stay here for however long we needed to.

"I'll help you unpack then I can show you around a bit, not that I'm any expert of the place." I said as Danni unzipped her suitcase. She nodded with a smile as we began to take items from her case.

"Beau won't stop texting me, this is the fifth one he's sent since I got here - and that's without me replying..." Danni said as we sat down on the warm beach sand. "Maybe we should just go there today, as long as you don't mind seeing them again."

My stomach dropped, I really didn't want to see any of them after what was said yesterday but I couldn't just leave Danni alone to make her way there. I had to go with her. "As long as you don't leave me with all of them," I said, making her smile.

We made our way over there in no rush but still arrived pretty quickly as they didn't live too far away from the beach.Danni knocked at the door as I began to feel my heart race, I couldn't believe I was back here in under 24 hours.

Jai came to the door as he had yesterday, a grin quickly appearing on his face as he saw Danni, taking her into a tight hug. "I've missed you, how've you been?" He asked.

"I've missed you too Jai. I've not been too bad, I'm much happier over here though." She smiled flickering her eyes onto me for a second, making Jai look at me though he didn't say anything - I don't blame him, I didn't know what to say either.

"Well come in, Beau and Luke are in the kitchen," He said as he led us in. The last person I needed to see right now was Luke, why couldn't it have been one of the other boys?

"Look who's here," Jai said loudly, catching his brother's attention who were both facing the other way. Beau's face brightened immediately, it was so sweet to see him so happy over seeing my best friend - but it wasn't that easy to win someone back after breaking up with them, even if he did regret it.

"I miss you so much," He said as he paced over to her, Danni looking down. "I regret everything I said and did to you, you're the only one I love and I shouldn't have let the fear of being so far away from you get to me. I just thought it would make it easier if I pretended I wasn't still crazy about you, but it just made it so much harder not being able to see you or hear your voice."

I could see Danni's walls breaking down, I knew she still loved him too even if she was strong enough to pretend to hate him for so long. I just wanted her to be happy, and if that meant she got back with Beau, then I would be happy too.

"Please give me another chance, I'll make it up to you everyday and never do anything like that to you again. You can trust me Danni." He said as her took her hand and stared deeply into her eyes.

She looked over to me so I gave her a reassuring smile. "I'm kidding myself if I say I haven't missed you or wanted you back either, you're the only one for me Beau." She said, causing his face to relighten before he took her into kiss, at which point I turned away to join Jai and Luke, I had to give them privacy now even if it meant being near two of the boys that I used to think I could trust the most.
