Everyone was just hanging out in the living room when Colby decided to do a surprise visit. Nick was on his laptop, Chris was watching TikTok's in his phone, and Dani and Matt were watching a black mirror episodes.
All eyes went towards the front door not expecting anyone. Matt says he'll see who it was and when he saw it was Colby he mentally sighed.
"What a surprise." Matt lets him in.
"Wanted to check in on Dani." Colby says and Dani hears him so she rolls her eyes before the two join everyone.
"Colby." Dani gives him a smile.
"I wanna take you to lunch. So get ready to go. I'm not taking no for an answer." He tells her so she gets up going to her room to change bottoms.
The guys don't really chat because Dani rushed so Colby wouldn't start anything with Matt asking stupid questions.
The car ride to lunch not a single one of them said a thing and even at lunch for the first few minutes no one said anything either.
"Why did you want to take me lunch?" Dani speaks up first, "And don't lie to me because you have never done this before."
Colby chuckles nodding his head, "That is true."
"So why now? So you can interrogate me more about my friendship with Matt?"
"I'm just curious." He tells her.
"And I keep telling you the same thing."
"And I don't believe you or him. It's; we're close friends... It's; he's attractive but we're friends. It's; we're just friends. It's; matching tattoos but means nothing." He goes on to rant.
"You never believe me. Why?" She asks wanting to know.
"Because you have lied to me in the past about things in your relationship with your ex."
"What? He was abusive and that was proven." She says more confused than ever.
"You said y'all never did anything and you did. I found papers in mom's files about your abortion."
Dani stares at him and hates that he brought that up, "I never lied because we never did it. I was raped by his older brother that just got out of jail before going back." She lowers her voice since they were in public still, "I was 15 and I only told mom about it and we took care of it. It wasn't any of yours, Gage's, or Dad's business. I went to therapy for that not just for my anxiety."
"Dani."
"We aren't talking about it anymore. And that's final. And yes, I'm your baby sister but you need to mind your own business. Especially when it comes to who I like or don't like." She tells him.
"Exactly, you're my baby sister therefore I have a right to know things. Especially when it comes to your dating life. Especially when it's maybe with a guy you met through me."
Dani rolls her eyes, "You do not have a right. And I already knew of Matt because I was friends with Nick. You only helped by letting us finally meet up. I chose to come back here after Texas not you. My choice lead to my friendship with Matt." She explains to him.
"Also I can be curious because you two barely knew each other when he asked you to move in. That's weird to me. Why would he do that?"
"Because I needed a place to go because I didn't want to go live with you again. You would do the I told you so shit!" She snaps a bit.
"Well yeah, because I told you how she was."
"Exactly my point, Colby. If I had to make that choice again not even knowing Nick the way I did... I would still take Matt's offer than live with you." She sighs.
Colby can't help but roll his eyes a bit, "You're supposed to pick family first."
Dani can't help but laugh, "Pick family first? Okay, you wanna go there... Four years ago when I came to visit you for a week. You took me to a crazy house party then left me and the party to go hook up with some girl. I had such a bad panic attack I was taken to the hospital by some strangers at the party. You had no idea I was missing until the next day was practically over with and the hospital called you instead of mom."
"How many times have I apologized for that?"
"You shouldn't have had to because it shouldn't have never happened." She tells him, "You wanna know something sad I've realized living with them? Matt knows me more than you do Colby. Those brothers know me more than my own family." She tries not to tear up, "I feel more at home with them and their parents and Justin than with my own."
Colby just states at Dani before she gets up from the table, "Where are you going?"
"Home." She wipes her tears away leaving and he follows her.
"Are you really get a ride back?"
"I am and an uber isn't too far." She gets one to go home.
"You're being ridiculous right now."
Dani spins to face him, "Me? I'm not throwing a tantrum that my sister isn't telling me if she likes her best friend or not. And say I did and I wanted a relationship with him. What are you gonna do about it?"
Before he could answer the car pulls up so she gets in it going home. As soon as she gets home she tells the boys she wants time alone and they give it to her.
"Why isn't Dani with you three?" Nick reads the twitch chat way later in the night.
"She didn't want to." Chris tells them.
"If she wanted to join us, she would." Nick adds.
"Where is she then?" Chris reads out.
"Her room." Nick tells them then reads a few telling him to go get her to join them, "I'm not making her."
"You guys flip on her so fast." Chris shakes his head, "One second you guys want her out of stuff and now you want her with us."
Dani pushes Matt's door open since she was just in the kitchen, "I heard my name." She looks at them.
"Chat." Nick tells her and sees mixed comments now about her, "Wow." He rolls his eyes at them as Dani walks into view.
She looked like she went through hell. She had been crying almost all day since she got home, "I'm not joining them because I had a bad day." She tells the chat and they could tell by her tone she was upset.
"There, she told you why." Matt says, so she could leave his room now. He knew she just wanted to be alone to cry. Hell, all three of them knew that.
"I'll lay in here for a bit." She turns crawling onto Matt's bed as him and Chris switch spots. Matt made sure to sit at an angle where Dani wasn't being shown much and Chris helps by moving a pillow to block Dani as well.
"Oh, you guys can expect a new video coming out soon on Dani's channel. With me." Chris lets viewers know.
"Because I said no." Matt spits out making Chris and Dani look at him.
"No." She tells him since that wasn't true at all.
"We had that planned. Like since we were back home." Chris tells him.
"Is there a competition going on about...who can be on her channel the most?" Matt asks the three, "Because I seem to be dead last in this with Chris in first."
Nick gives him a look, "You are so butthurt."
"That's one way to put it." Matt agrees.
"Of course, Nick." Nick says then it hits him he said his name instead as the others laugh. "At least I got Dani to laugh." Nick says proud of himself because she needed it.
