Why We Shouldn't

♡So Good At Being In Trouble♡

♡Daniel's Pov♡

This cannot be happening. I pulled at my hair before pacing and returning back to where Jack and Corbyn stood still in awe.

"What're we gonna do? These pics make it obvious of what was really happening." Jack looked ready to cry. I wrapped an arm around him pulling him into a hug kissing his hair.

"It'll be fine it's not like people will think we're really together."

"Actually," Corbyn trailed off. I nearly snatched the phone from him. I scrolled through the replies on our Instagram of a picture we had taken last night. Everyone was saying things like:

"Janiel confirmed"

"Omg this pic and the pics from the 'date' it all makes sense! Janiel is real"

"I ship this!"

"Gay"

"Oh my God Janiel is real"

So on and so on. There were threads and threads of Janiel is real theories tagged to it and all these other things. Were we really that careless? Then Jonah and Zach strolled over to us, phones in hands.

"Have you guys seen this?" Zach chuckled putting the phone up to us. The pictures staring back at us. What I wouldn't give to be able to turn invisible right now.

"People seem to think you guys are together." Jonah added.

"Yeah we saw." I said. "It's just rumors, this'll blow over." I squeezed Jack so he'd know I didn't mean it. It seemed stupid to still keep this a secret but I felt like we should just a little while longer.

"Yeah, rumors." Jack sounded really sad and I couldn't console him until we were in our rooms. Corbyn patted my shoulder and then we all went upstairs and went our separate ways into our bedrooms.

"This is exactly why I couldn't let this happen." Jack mumbled sitting on my bed. "I wonder what lowlife took those photos." He crossed his arms seemingly deep in thought chewing on his bottom lip.

"Do you regret it?" Seeing him so upset did nothing but make me more sad. I scratched the back of my neck nervously waiting for his answer.

"No, never, it's just I, I don't know. Sometimes I feel fearless then others I'm afraid of what people will think again." He rested his head in his hands. Any other time I would've cooed at how he looked like a sad little puppy, but it wasn't the appropriate time for jokes. I walked over to him and stood in front of him grabbing his hands.

"It's going to be fine." I kissed the backs of both his hands. "I just hope you had a good time with me."

"Today was amazing, thank you for that Daniel, really." He looked up at me his eyes glazed over. "It just sucks that it ended this way, ya know?" I sat beside him and pulled him on to my lap.

"Yeah I know, Don't worry about it and forget those people. If they don't accept us then who cares." He smiled wearily wrapping his arms around my neck. We stared for a few seconds.
