Chasing Stars (Daniel Seavey)

Reunited

It was finally Wednesday and everyone was backstage getting ready for the show. "Have you guys seen Payton?" Jax asks the group. "She's with Clark out in the audience talking to some fans." Rayvon answers. "Wait like....in the crowd?" Jax looks at Rayvon. "Yea why?" Rayvon asked with a confused look. "Dude! Daniel and Christian are out there!!! What if she sees them and ruins the surprise?!" Jax looks at Rayvon. "Don't worry. I texted Daniel saying she's out there and he said he'll try to blend in." Rayvon said. "Are you sure?" Jax asks. "Positive." Rayvon smiles and Jax sighs. "Nick come with me." Jax grabs Nick's arm and drags him. They go backstage and peek out from the lounge. "What are we doing exactly?" Nick asks. "We are making sure Payton doesn't go back where Daniel is." Jax tells Nick. Jax spots Payton and she sees her going up towards Daniel section. Daniel spots Jax hiding and starts to panic. "Get down!" Jax hand motions to Daniel. "I can't." Daniel looks around. Jax starts to freak out and got an idea. "HEY PAYTON!!!" Jax pops out and yells to get her attention. Everyone screams and yells and Payton turns around at Jax. Jax smiles and motions her to get away from that crowd. Payton laughs and walks down to where Jax and Nick are. "What?" Payton looks at them. "Almost show time. Let's go." Jax grabs Payton's arm and drags her backstage.

The show started and it was that night where they were announcing the top 6 (just for the story) to go on the summer tour. Everyone sat in the lounge and watched Ryan and the judges walk out on stage and everyone cheers. The woman soccer players walked out on stage and handed Ryan the envelope revealing the first contestant to make it through and go on tour. Ryan called Jax up and she stood up and everyone clapped. She hugged everyone and headed up on stage and she slayed her song. She finished and everyone cheered and clapped and she headed backstage. Next, Ryan called Clark, then Nick. They performed and headed backstage to get ready for their second performance. There were then 3 contestants left with Quentin, Rayvon and Payton. "The next contestant making it through....and go on the road is....." Ryan opened up the envelope. "Payton Vaughns." Ryan announces and everyone cheers. She hugs Rayvon and Quentin and heads on stage to sing her song. She sang FourFiveSeconds. She finished her song and everyone cheered and clapped. The judges gave her their comments and said that the are happy for her and that she deserved to be on tour. She smiles and went backstage to get ready for her second performance. "Now I know how Quentin feels." Payton walks into the dressing room. "What's going on?" Tyanna asks. "Well Quentin is like a big brother to me and Rayvon is like a dad." Payton laughs. "I just don't wanna see anyone of them leave." Payton says. "Hey I'm sure both them will be even more happier when they leave." Tyanna comforts Payton. "That's all I want. I want both of them to be happy." Payton smiles up at the TV. They all finish getting ready and Payton goes to her vanity and puts on her jewelry. She grabs the blue necklace that Daniel gave her and grabs her phone. She waits for everyone else to get ready and as she's waiting she texts Daniel.

Daniel: "You killed it on stage!"

Payton: "Thanks! I miss you."

Daniel: "I miss you more. We will be together again very soon 😉"

Everyone finished and they all went to the stage and sat in the lounge and waited for their performances. Ryan called Jax and Clark first..then it was Payton's turn. She grabbed her guitar and headed on stage. The music started and she started singing Amnesia by 5SOS. She finishes her performance and everyone cheers and claps. She really showed some emotion in the performance and she was so proud of herself. She smiles and Ryan walks out on stage. "Payton!!" Ryan walks over to Payton. "Hi!" Payton smiles at him. "How do you feel?" Ryan asks. "I am so happy and I'm so thankful to have this experience especially at a young age." Payton smiles and everyone cheers. "Can I ask you something?" Ryan looks at Payton. "Yes sure!" Payton smiles. "What is this?" Ryan asks pointing at the necklace. "Oh." Payton looks down and laughs. "It's Daniel's." Payton laughs. "Is that the one Carrie Underwood gave him?" Ryan asks. "Yes it is and actually I have another one, hold on." Payton says taking off her guitar and setting it down. She pulls the other dog tag from under her shirt and shows Ryan. "This one he gave to me." Payton says and the cameras zoom in on the tag. "Do you miss him?" Ryan asks. "I miss him terribly." Payton smiles. After she said that, she hears screaming and clapping. Payton has a confused look on her face and she looks over at Ryan. He raises his eyebrows and nods and smiles. Payton turns around and sees Daniel walking towards her. She gasps and covers her mouth in shock. "Oh my gosh!" Payton tears up. She runs over to Daniel and hugs him crying in his shoulder. "Oh my god...oh my god." Payton says in his shoulder and Daniel laughs. "Hey!" Daniel let's go and looks at Payton. "What are you doing here?!" Payton looks at him. "I came to surprise you!" Daniel laughs. "Oh my gosh." Payton smiles and hugs him. "Sorry I'm emotional." Payton looks over at Ryan. "It's ok." Ryan laughs. "So Daniel!" Ryan walks over to him. "How is it surprising her?" Ryan asks. "It's the best feeling ever. I love seeing her smile." Daniel smiles and looks at Payton. "it's nice to see you Daniel!" Harry says looking up on stage. "Nice to see you all!" Daniel smiles. "Hi baby!" Jlo smiles. Everyone claps and cheers and Payton and Daniel hug. "Hold can I ask something?" Payton says into the mic and everyone silents. Payton looks at the lounge over at Jax. "Jax did you do this?" Payton looks at Jax and she smiles and nods. Everyone cheers and Payton smiles. "So cute." Jlo says. "Everyone Dayton." Ryan says and everyone cheers. "Thank you." Payton and Daniel say at the same time. Daniel grabs Payton's guitar and they walk of stage hand in hand. They walk to the lounge and Payton hugs Jax with the camera pointing at them. Daniel hugs Payton and everyone else and heads back to the crowd high fiving fans as he walks by.

Quentin and Rayvon perform their second set and then the voting started for the bottom 2. After the 5 minutes, the results were in and Quentin and Rayvon went up on stage. "And the next contestant to make it to the top 6 and get to tour this summer is......." Ryan starts the dramatic music and everyone screams Rayvon or Quentin's names. "Congratulations.." Quentin whispers to Rayvon. "Rayvon Owen." Ryan announces and everybody screams and cheers. Payton stands up and claps and smiles. Quentin walks off stage and everyone else runs on stage to hug Rayvon and the show ended.
Everyone went backstage to do interviews and Payton spots the JoinTheSynergy crew so she walks over for the filming.
"Hey guys! It's Payton and I love you all thanks for voting and don't forget to join the synergy!" Payton smiles.
"First off, Daniel came to surprise you on the show."
"Oh my gosh yes! It's amazing. He's so amazing and I'm glad that JAX brought him down. I'm just so happy." Payton smiles. "He's over there talking to Nick actually." Payton points over to Nick's interview with Daniel.
"You're going on tour!"
"Yesss! I'm so excited! I wouldn't be here without my VIP's! I love you all! I can't wait to squeeze them." Payton laughs.
Payton finishes the interview and walks over to Daniel and Nick with Chris from the PacificRimVideos. "Wait here come Payton right now." Daniel turns around. "Hello!" Payton hugs Daniel and Chris. "Hey! We were just talking about you!" Chris says. "Payton what's it like Daniel surprising you on live TV?" Chris asks. "I was probably making a fool of myself and like crying." Payton laughs. "I'm glad he's here." Payton hugs Daniel. "And you and nick are going on tour!" Chris smiles. "Yes! I'm so excited! I get to meet the people who brought me here and be with family." Payton smiles. "That's awesome! Well good luck!" Chris smiles. "Thank you! Well I don't mean to interrupt so I'll just leave." Payton smiles. "Alright, great to see you!" Chris says. "You too! Bye!" Payton waves and walks off. "She's so cute." Daniel giggles and Nick smiles and they continue with their interview.
