Chapter 37

Danielle's PoV:

Everything was still, completely still, like time had just stopped. I felt Simon lean in slightly and I almost felt myself doing the same. Our lips were only a couple of centimetres away from each other's and we both stared down watching them get closer. I could feel Simon's breath on me and my heart thumped like crazy. But that was when I realised. What am I doing? I can't do this, not again. This is wrong. Yes, I'm in love with him, but he has Lucy and I have Justin. I can't do this. Instead of kissing him, I looked away at the others sleeping, I still could feel Simons breath but this time on my neck and it drove me insane. Come on, Danielle.

"We should probably get some sleep." I whispered, looking back to see him was still looking down at me, moving his glance from my eyes to my lips, and back and forth. I need to stop this, but how? Come on, think...

"Yeah, we should, but I don't want to." He replied, and suddenly I felt his lips on mine. My eyes widened and for a moment and with slight hesitation I pushed him off.

"Simon. You have to stop this." I shook my head, a sad expression on my face, staring at Simon's hurt one, which suddenly turned into an angry one.

"I? I have to stop this? This isn't just me Danielle, and you know it." He growled and my stomach dropped.

"Fine, we have to stop, okay? You have Lucy, I have Justin. We can't." I looked into his eyes, hurt while he removed his hand from my back and I took my legs off of his lap and sat up. I felt empty.

"What's happening to us?" Simon mumbled. "We're... So different."

I looked at him in shock. Was this it? "I'm gonna go to sleep." I stood up and went to walk straight to my room. I can't handle losing him, and I was about to.

"You're just gonna walk away?" Simon asked me angrily, louder so I could hear but not so loud that would wake the others up. I turned and looked to an angry expression. "Fine, go to bed. Didn't want you here anyway..." He mumbled and I grunted, walking away showing him the middle finger as I left the room. I then ran upstairs, turned my bedside lamp on, got into bed, and fell asleep.

-------------------

"Wake up, wake up, wake up!" I heard a male voice shout, hovering over me. I groaned as I pulled the pillow over my head. "Danielle!" Josh laughed and jumped on me. I yelped slightly, hearing Freya laugh from across the room. "Justin's here!" Josh finally said and I pushed him off of me and stood up quickly.

"Already?! Oh my god, I need to get ready. Josh, leave!" I grinned and he laughed loudly while running out of the room.

"Also, the guys have a surprise for you when you're ready." Freya winked, before walking out of the room and shutting the door behind her. I stared pacing around the room, grinning. Shower.

I took my clothes off, tied my hair up in a bun and jumped into the marble shower, before washing my body and getting out, leaving my hair dry. I brushed my teeth and quickly threw on some black ripped jean shorts and an oversized sdmn top. I let my hair down and brushed it quickly, before straightening it and grabbing a pair of socks and throwing them on. I took a deep breath as I looked into the mirror, before sighing and grabbing my makeup bag and putting on foundation and mascara. That'll do. I grinned and nodded, as I walked down stairs cooly and into the kitchen. I opened the door to be faced with everyone looking at me, cheering. I chuckled and looked around. Josh, Freya, JJ, Harry, Aimee and Vikk were all stood around the table and Simon, Tobi and Ethan were sitting on the three stools. Seeing Simon made my heart twist in my chest, after remembering last night. Unlike everyone else, Simons eyes were on the table in front of him and he looked angry. Shrugging him off, I saw Lucy clung onto Simon giving me a fake smile. Everyone was here, but one.
