Chasing Stars (Daniel Seavey)

Break Up or Make Up (Death Threats)

It was Monday, and that meant the the top 12 were reuniting before the finale. The worst part is that Payton would face Daniel. "Hey Jax! How you feeling?" Payton walks over to Jax. "Wayyy better!" Jax smiles. "Are you nervous?" Jax asks Payton. "Uhhh a little.." Payton slightly laughs. "I don't know how and what to say or do." Payton says. "I think you guys should talk it out soon. You can't be mad at him forever." Jax tells Payton. "I don't know what to trust from him anymore." Payton looks down at her phone. "Well come on, some of the guys are there already." Jax smiles getting up. They both grab their stuff and they head to the boarding room and meet everyone. "Maddie!!!!" Payton runs over to Maddie and hugs her. "Oh my goodness Payton, it's been so long!" Maddie smiles hugging back. "Are you alright?" Maddie pulls away. "I'm alright. I just don't know what to do now." Payton slightly smiles. "I'm sorry this happened." Maddie looks at Payton. "Thanks Maddie. I'm so glad you're here." Payton smiles. "Qaasim!" Payton runs over to Qaasim and hugs him tightly. "Hey there! How you holding up?" Qaasim smiles. "I'm fine. Thanks." Payton smiles. "Hello again Tyanna." Payton laughs walking over to Tyanna. Everyone chats and then out of no where, it goes silent. Payton was talking to Sarina but then everyone quiets down. She has a confused look on her face and turns around to see what Sarina was looking at. Payton turns around and freezes. The whole world froze right before her eyes. She sees Daniel standing in the doorway with everyone staring at him and back at Payton. Right then and there, Payton's heart shattered just by looking at Daniel. "Payton...." Daniel walks takes a step forward. Payton doesn't say anything but stands up quickly and runs away. "Payton!" Daniel runs after her but Maddie stops him. "We'll talk to her." Maddie says nodding to Jax and Adanna. "Please I need to talk to her." Daniel begs. "Just stay here. We got this." Adanna steps in. Daniel sighs and let's the girls go back and find Payton while Daniel stays and greets the others.
Adanna, Jax and Maddie go back to the direction Payton ran and they see her in a hallway against the wall hiding her face in her knees. They walk up to her and sit around her. "Payton?" Jax lifts her head up to reveal tears and red eyes. "I'm sorry. I thought I could do it but I can't." Payton says looking down. "I know. There's no problem with that." Adanna tells Payton. "I can't even look at him without the picture of him running through my mind." Payton tears up. "It's ok Payton. It's alright to be upset because of this." Maddie smiles. "But, she kissed him." Maddie says. "I know but it's just the thought that he didn't tell me right away." Payton looks up. "Guys, can I please be alone for now?" Payton looks at the girls. "Yea of course." Jax smiles. "Thanks guys. I love you." Payton smiles and hugs them. They leave and walk back to the room leaving Payton in the hallway. She takes out her phone and scrolls through her Twitter. She sees a video Quentin posted of him and everyone else. Pictures of everyone. And even Daniel posted a video.
"Where's Payton?"
"Is she still mad at Daniel?"
"She just like disappeared."
"I miss Dayton."
"Has anyone noticed that everyone else is there but Payton?"
"Where is she?"
"I heard Payton died."
Payton reads as she reads through comments. "What?" Payton says confused. She scrolls down more and sees more tweets about how she killed herself and left. "It's so different without her here." She sees a tweet Daniel tweeted. Everything Daniel has been tweeting and Payton's inactive account just gives the impression that she's gone. Payton bursts into tears reading tweet after tweet.

Back in the room while everyone else having fun and taking pictures. Daniel scrolls through his mentions. He looks at the comments on his last tweet and sees the tweets about Payton. He freezes and gasps causing everyone to stop and look at him. "Check the comments on my last tweet." Daniel looks up in shock. Everyone pulls out their phones and read the death threats and tweets. The tweets are also blowing up on their timeline saying how she killed herself. "She's not....." Daniel tears up. "Oh no....Payton!" Daniel gets up and runs out followed by everyone else. They run to the hallway and doesn't see her. She only left her phone out in the middle of the hallway. Daniel runs up to the phone and picks it up. "Where is she?" Quentin looks around. "The bathroom....." Jax says and her and the girls run to the bathroom and the boys wait outside. The girl run into the bathroom and see Payton hunched over at the sink with scratches on her arm. She didn't cut herself she just kept clawing herself. There are tears in her eyes and she looks into the mirror. "I can't do this." Payton whispers. "Payton please don't do this to yourself." Tyanna walks up to Payton and hold out her arm to revel some scratches. "Everyone thinks I'm dead. Everyone wants me dead now." Payton looks at her arm. "No don't do this. Think about the people that love you." Adanna walks closer to Payton. "We all love you..Payton." Jax says. "Do you know who loves you the most....?" Maddie looks at Payton. Payton just looks into Maddie's eyes. "Daniel." Maddie says. Payton just looks down. "That kiss meant nothing to him. Nothing." Jax says. "Daniel was the best thing that ever happened to me." Payton looks down at her scratches. "If he really loves me...he wouldn't mean it." Payton looks up. "He didn't mean to hurt you. He didn't want to hurt you. He cares about you." Joey tells Payton. "Can you guys bring him in?" Payton asks. They all smile. "Of course." Maddie smiles and and they all walk out.
They boys were outside waiting outside and Daniel was pacing back and worth. "Daniel she's alright..." Clark tried to calm Daniel down. "I don't know man, she's probably in there with a bloody arm and crying herself to death." Daniel stops. "I can't lose her again." Daniel looks at the door and takes deep breaths. After awhile, the girls all come out and look at Daniel. "Is she alright?" Daniel looks at them. "She wants to see you." Jax smiles. Daniel smiles in relief and takes a deep breath. He walks towards the bathroom door while everyone stares at him. He takes a deep breath again and his hand touches the doorknob. He smiles and opens it and walks in while the others leave. He walks in and sees Payton sitting on the sinks hiding her arms in her hoodie with tears in her eyes. They stare at each other for a couple seconds and smile. "Danny..." Payton jumps off and runs into Daniels arms. "Oh my gosh you're ok." Daniel says hugging Payton and not letting go. "I'm sorry." Payton sobs into Daniels arms. "No I'm sorry...I've never been this sorry before." Daniel let's go and wipes Payton's tears away. "I would never hurt you. Ever." Daniel smiles and Payton looks down at her covered arms. Daniel notices and takes her hand and pulls her sleeves up to reveal the scratches. "They're not cuts. Just scratches." Payton slightly laughs. "Please don't hurt yourself again." Daniel tears up. "I'm sorry Danny." Payton puts her hands on Daniel's cheek. Daniel takes Payton's hand and pulls her over to the sink. Payton sits up on the ledge and Daniel takes a paper towel and puts it under water. He then pulls Payton's arm out and dabs the paper towel over the scratches. He finishes up and smiles. He takes her arm and kisses both of them with the scratches. "Thanks Danny." Payton smiles. "Anything for you." Daniel looks into Payton's arms. "I love you." Payton says to Daniel. "I love you more" Daniel smiles. They get lost in each other's eyes and they lean in for their reunion kiss. "I missed you." Daniel smiles. "I missed you too." Payton smiles. They both walk out and they decided to just sit in the hallway together. "I think this is yours." Daniel hands Payton her phone. "Thanks." Payton takes her phone and opens it. "Look at these." Payton looks at the tweets. Daniel sighs and puts his arm around her. "But look at these." Daniel takes Payton's phone. He gives it back revealing tweets of love and support. With the hashtag "WeLovePayton". All the tweets of support saying how she's not dead. They spent 30 minutes in the hallway just looking through photos and tweets.

"How do you think they are doing?" Nick asks everyone. "They've been gone for almost 30 minutes." Jax says. "Should we go check on them?" Maddie looks at Jax. "Yea lets go." Jax says and her and Maddie walk out to the hallway. They walk down and they turn the corner. "hey stop." Maddie whispers and stops Jax. "Look." Maddie smiles pointing to Daniel and Payton sitting together with his arm around her and her head on his shoulder. "Oh my gosh...they made up!" Jax whispers and smiles. Maddie laughs and pulls out her phone and opens the camera. She zooms in on the two and takes a picture. "Watch this." Maddie tells Jax and opens up Twitter.
"They're back together!! 🙌🏼😱❤️" Maddie tweeted tagging Daniel and Payton with the picture. "Maddie posted something.." Maddie and Jax head Payton say and watch them from the corner. They watch Payton open the tweet and Daniel watching over. "Maddie!" Payton yells looking over where Jax and Maddie are. Maddie and Jax walk out laughing and Payton and Daniel smile. "Are you guys back together?" Jax walks over to them and her and Maddie sit next to them. "I don't know. Are we?" Daniel looks at Payton and smiles. "I guess we are." Payton takes Daniel's hand. "Yayyyy!!!" Maddie smiles and claps. "As long as you get Jess to leave you alone." Payton turns back at Daniel. "Not a problem." Daniel laughs. Maddie, Jax, Payton and Daniel all take a picture with Daniel kissing Payton on the cheek.
"Dayton is back!!!"
"I missed them so much!"
All comments saying how much they miss the two and how they are happy they are together. They all walk back to the room and Daniel and Payton walk in holding hands. Everyone sees them and they smile and clap. Everyone hangs out the rest of the day and take more pictures.
