*Meanwhile with Payton and Trevor*
Trevor and Payton walk out to his car and load the trunk up with her bags. "You'll love Troy. He's really outgoing." Trevor tells Payton getting in the car. "Thanks for doing this Trevor." Payton says putting on her seatbelt. "Hey, no problem. I'm gonna be gone most of the time working so you're not in the way." Trevor says backing out of the parking lot. "You mean, you won't be there all day?" Payton asks. "I usually don't get back home till 6pm but I don't start set till like 10am. Sometimes earlier." Trevor says. "What does Troy do?" Payton asks. "He does music stuff. Kind of like what we do so he'll be around more than me." Trevor tells Payton. "Oh okay." Payton looks out the window. "Everything okay?" Trevor asks. "Yea everything's good. It's just that I'm gonna be living alone soon." Payton fake laughs. "No I know how it feels. Don't worry, I got a free day for the next two days so I'll take you around LA to find some places." Trevor tells Payton. "Thanks Trevor." Payton smiles. They finally arrived at Trevor's apartment complex and park in the parking garage. They grab her bags and head up to the apartment. "Alright, welcome to mi casa." Trevor opens the door. "Wow this is cute." Payton walks in. "Here I'll show you around." Trevor closes the door behind him. "You got the kitchen that over looks the living area." Trevor walks into the hallway area. "This is Troy's room and next to his room is my room." Trevor walks into his room. "Nice. You have a great view" Payton looks around. "Then this is the office/studio area." Trevor walks to the office. "I actually have the blow mattress but I decided that I'll sleep in here and you can take my room for now." Trevor tells Payton. "Oh no I can't." Payton laughs. "No I don't mind. You're the guest." Trevor convinces Payton. "Are you sure?" Payton looks at Trevor. "Yea it's not a big deal. Troy and I share the bathroom so you have your own bathroom across the living room." Trevor points out the hallway. "Thanks Trevor. This means a lot." Payton smiles and hugs Trevor. "No problem. Troy is actually out getting pizza and bringing it back." Trevor tells her. "Perfect, I could eat." Payton laughs. She takes her bags to Trevor's room and takes off her shoes and meets Trevor in the living room. "So I already looked at some places around here. I called a realtor and we'll meet with her tomorrow and look around town, see what you like." Trevor tells Payton the plan. "Ugh, that's perfect Trevor but you didn't have to." Payton smiles. "Nah I don't mind. Just to take some stress off ya." Trevor says then the door opens. "I got pizza!" Troy walks in with two boxes of pizza. "Sweet!" Trevor stands up and Troy sets the pizzas on the kitchen counter. "Oh, Troy, this is Payton." Trevor introduces Payton to Troy. "What's up?" Troy smiles at Payton and hugs her. "Hi." Payton smiles at him. The three eat their pizza and catch up on what's been happening.
"How's the house?" Payton texts Daniel.
"This house is awesome! I love it here already. How's Trevor's place?" Daniel texts back.
"It's great here. Getting to look at some places tomorrow with him and a realtor." Payton says.
"So cool! The guys and I are out getting some stuff for the house right now. Come over later?" Daniel asks.
"I'd love to! Text me the address and let me know when you guys are home :)" Payton says and Daniel sends the address.
"The guys think you're so cool by the way. They seem to like you." Daniel tells Payton and she smiles.
"That's great to hear." Payton says.
"I'm sure you'll bond with Zach. He's from Dallas too so you'll have a friend with something in common. We also have a pool here and we were all gonna take a splash if you want to join." Daniel tells her.
"Sounds perfect. I'll see you later Danny!" Payton sends with a heart emoji and smiles."So you and Daniel good?" Trevor asks Payton as she puts her phone down. "Could've never been better. I'm glad he's there for me, and I'm glad I got you too." Payton smiles at Trevor. "I'm actually gonna head over to the boys house later if that's cool." Payton looks at Trevor and Troy. "No problem. We got to go out and get some things anyway." Trevor says.
Daniel then texted Payton awhile later saying he's back home. She packs a backpack with some extra clothes and hops in an uber to Beverly Hills. After about a 15 minute ride she arrives. "Woah." Payton looks up at the house. She gets out of the car and walks up the hill the house is on. The driveway was long and the house was big overlooking LA. She walks up to the door and rings the bell. She waits a while and Daniel answers it. "Hey babe." He greets her and hugs her. "Hello." Payton smiles. "Guys, Payton is here." Daniel lets Payton in and she walks in. Everyone comes to the front and attacks her with a group hug and they exclaim in excitement. "Oh my gosh." Payton muffle laughs in their hugs. "Ok Ok guys." Daniel breaks the boys off her. "She's mine." Daniel says and hugs Payton and she laughs. "Well who wants to swim??" Jonah looks at the group and the guys agree. "You wanna see the house?" Daniel asks Payton. "Uh..yea." Payton scoffs and laughs. "Alright cool." Daniel takes Payton's hand and walks through the entrance. "This is just the living room area with the kitchen over there." Daniel points out. "This is manager David." Daniel introduces Payton to. "Hi, I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier." David shakes Payton's hand. "No worries. Payton." she smiles. "Just know you're welcome anytime. Any special person to Daniel is special to us." David smiles. "Thanks." Payton says in shock. "See, everyone loves you already." Daniel looks at Payton. "Come on, don't make this about me." Payton blushes. "You wanna see the studio we have?" Daniel asks. "Ya'll have a studio?" Payton asks in surprise. "Yea check it out." Daniel leads the way through the kitchen into the studio. "Daniel this is amazing!" Payton looks around in the studio. "I haven't seen something like this since Idol." Payton says. "Maybe we'll get you a session someday." Daniel hugs Payton. "This is so cool." Payton laughs. "You haven't seen the best part. Follow me." Daniel takes Payton to the backyard. The backyard was huge. You can see the city of LA from the top of the hill. There was a bunch of yard space and a pool. "Danny..." Payton stands in awe. "Cool right?" Daniel looks at her. "Wow. I can't believe it." Payton just keeps looking around. "I'm so proud of you Daniel." Payton turns to him and he smiles. "I'm just glad I can have this experience and still have you with me." Daniel tells her. "You'll always have me." Payton smiles and kisses Daniel. "Come on lovebirds we have a pool waiting for us!" Jack barges in and everyone laughs. Everyone changed into swimwear and start hanging out around the pool. Snap chatting and videoing everything.
