After Idol: The Sequel (Daniel Seavey)

Nobody Needs To Know

It was the day of the boys video shoot with Logan Paul so they head over to his apartment. "Hey, isn't Payton coming?" Jack asks Daniel while they were in the car. "She should be soon. She's stuck in a meeting right now." Daniel says checking his phone. "You think she'll make it?" Zach asks. "Oh yea for sure. She'll just meet us at Logan's place." Daniel smiles. "Have you guys doing okay?" Jack asks. "What do you mean?" Daniel laughs. "I mean, she's been distant ever since we came back." Jack says. "Oh yea, she's just been busy with her stuff. She's been making videos and writing new stuff. It's just hectic for her." Daniel chuckles. "Well as long as their no problems..." Corbyn turns to Daniel. "Nah, we are perfectly fine." He smiles then they arrive at Logan's apartment while he vlogs.

"YEA!" Logan screams as the boys walk in. "That's muh boiiis!" Logan stands up with his camera recording. "That's my boy! We got Jonah.." Logan fist pumps him and introduces the rest of the boys. "We got Daniel, we got Zach, we got Jack, we got Corbyn..with a Y though!" Logan fist pumps everyone. "Yo! So these guys brought...what did bring? Sexy outfits lets go." Logan point the camera to the guys showing off their suits. "You can't wrong with suspenders and bow ties." Jack says pulling out a pair of suspenders.

"The roses..." Logan says while Daniel walks up with a bouquet of roses for the video. "Alright look, I'll tell you guys the creative later..." Logan says into his camera. "But I need you guys to go changed for me. I need you guys to look like sexy beasts!" Logan points to the boys. "So I realized, when I told them to go get changed that we don't have enough space in the house theres a lot of people here." Logan starts off by walking into his room. "So I brought them to my room..but theres an issue in the form of Maverick the parrot." Logan laughs pointing to Maverick. "No bro!" Zach says as the guys all gather outside Logan's room. Maverick then just spots Corbyn and flys to him, attacking him. Logan screams and Corybn walks away while everyone laughs. "Yo! I aint walking in there!" Zach yells and walks back as Maverick squawks. "No. He's just chilling bro." Logan laughs. "Corbyn just got attacked." Jack says walking behind Jonah and Maverick squawks again. "Yo..someone sing him a song!" Logan says. "Birds flying high..." Jack sings looking at the bird and everyone laughs. "You know how I feel..." He keeps singing and Maverick vocalizes. "Yo its working...its working." Logan says and Maverick flys into his cage. "I think that actually worked...alright boys, you guys get changed and meet upstairs!" Logan walks out of the room and turns off his camera. He runs back upstairs to manager Jeff and waits for the boys when the doorbell rang. Logan gets up to his door and opens it revealing Payton. "Payton!" Logan smiles and hugs her. "Hi! Am I late?" Payton looks up at him. "Nah the boys are downstairs changing you can come in." Logan lets her in. "Wow, your place is a lot bigger than I thought." Payton looks around. "Oh..yea camera always make things smaller. But ye, just chill here and the boys should be done soon." Logan smiles and Payton talks with manager Jeff. "Oh hey, I'm gonna scare Daniel." Payton whispers to Logan and hides behind the wall of the staircase. She waits until she hears the boys coming upstairs. Payton waits till she sees Daniel up the stairs and pops out and yells. "What the...." Daniel almost falls. "Hi!" Payton smiles and opens her arms. "You made it." Daniel laughs and hugs Payton tightly. "So how long have you two been together?" Logan asks the couple. "Like...2 years." Daniel tells him. "So then you guys were only like what..15?" Logan chuckles and they nod there heads. "Wow, Daniel can last a relationship longer than me." Logan laughs. "You guys look great." Payton hugs the other guys. "Do you know the concept of this video?" Logan asks Payton. "Oh yea totally." She smiles. "So you're cool with it?" Logan looks at her. "Yea totally." She laughs. "Alright then. Boys, we got a video to shoot!" Logan turns the camera on. The boys start practicing and Logan joins in on the fun and they head outside to Hollywood Boulevard.

"Here we go boys!" Logan starts off his blog with Payton standing behind Jeff's girlfriend who's recording them. "Here's the deal/issue...we do not have permits." Logan laughs. "We don't have permits so if we get caught.." Logan turns the camera on the boys. "One thing.....run. Just run." Logan hands the camera back. "AHHH." Zach pretend screams and runs away while the boys laugh. "Exactly you got it." Logan tells Zach. "Do you guys have a thing you do where you put your hands in for like good luck?" Logan asks the boys putting their hands in a circle. The guys put there hands in and do their retrial. "One..two..three...Why Don't We..." The boys chant with their hands in. "Ohhhhh." They say putting their hand up together and back down. "This...is only the beginning." They finish off and on their way to start filming.

"Ok so the concept of the video is...these kids are young." Logan starts off by pointing to the boys. "Their song is called Nobody Gotta Know. The idea was they are gonna up to girls, probably much older than them, and then they sing the song to them. They serenade them." Logan explains the video idea. "And heres something interesting..." Logan runs over to Payton standing next to Jeff's girlfriend with a camera in her face. "This is Payton.." Logan introduces her. Payton waves and smiles. "And she happens to be...." Logan points the camera over to Daniel and zooms in on him. "Daniel's girlfriend." Logan points to Daniel and she laughs. "So yea, we have her here just hanging out and...you're cool with this concept right? Daniel going up to girls and serenading them." Logan asks. "Oh yea totally. He has to share his voice with someone. Anything for the video" Payton laughs. "Aye I like this girl." Logan says into the camera. "Alright tell the Logang a little about you and your story with Daniel? Like how did you guys meet?" Logan turns to Payton. "Well..I'm a singer/youtuber/person..." Payton laughs and looks at the camera. "Daniel and I met when we were 15, uh we were on American Idol. That's...a thing." Payton shrugs. "So they have been together for 2 years and I'd have to say...I can't keep a relationship for two weeks." Logan looks at Payton and laughs. "So good to have ya here Payton!" Logan tells her and goes back to the video. They all walked around, the boys did their thing with the singing and the serenading and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Everyone went on break, Logan looked back at the footage and overall it was a good day! Payton seemed to get her mind off things and just be with Daniel and have fun with the guys. They finished wrapping up set at the park before sunset.

"And that is a wrap of Nobody Gotta Know!" Logan says and everyone cheers. Daniel walks over to Payton and hugs her. "You guys were so good today!" Payton tells him. "Thanks for coming out." Daniel smiles and kisses her. They watch the sunset go down together and have a great time with the boys and Logan. Payton then just felt stressed for some reason, out of no where. "Hey, I'm gonna get home. I have a video to edit." Payton tells Daniel. "Alright no problem." Daniel hugs her. "I'll call you okay?" Daniel tells her. "Ok." She looks down. "Are you okay?" Daniel asks. "Oh yea..I'm just....tired." She tells him instead of saying whats on her mind. "Good job today." She tells him and kisses him. She says bye to the boys and Logan then heads back to her apartment.

The whole atmosphere just felt kind of empty making Payton feel..confused but she just shakes things off and turns on her TV to edit to. In the middle of her editing she hears a knock on her door. She was confused as to who it was but she didn't think of it and just opened it and standing there was Aspen. "Aspen?" Payton looks at her confused. "Why are you here? How do you know where I live?" She asks her. "Oh, Jack gave me your address." Aspen says and Payton rolls her eyes. "Okay, why are you here?" Payton laughs. "I wanna talk to you about Daniel.." Aspen says just walking into Paytons' place. Payton just stands there with a confused look on her face but then just closes the door. "What about him?" Payton crosses her arms. "He told me something that you should know..." Aspen sits down on her couch and Payton just raises an eyebrow. "Ok but why do you care?" Payton scoffs. "Because I care about him..." Aspen looks at her. "Cool..congrats?" Payton says sarcastically. "Listen Aspen, now is not a good time, I'm tired, I'm exhausted..." Payton starts telling Aspen. "Daniel doesn't feel anything with you anymore." Aspen blurts out interrupting Payton. "What?" Payton freezes. "He said something about how you guys have been so busy...you guys can't keep up with each other." Aspen continues. "When did he say this?" Payton asks. "A couple weeks ago." She stands up. "Weeks?!" Payton looks at Aspen. "Why should I even believe you?" Payton turns to Aspen. "What? Its not like you don't feel the same." Aspen tells her then just walks out. "What the hell?" Payton says to herself. Payton grabs her phone and calls Jack.

"Hey!" Jack answers the phone. "Why did you give Aspen my address?" Payton asks automatically. "Oh, she said she had something for you." Jack tells her. "Well she DID give me something!" Payton says to him. "What do you mean?" Jack asks. "She was just talking about something Daniel said apparently..." She tells him. "Like what?" Jack asks. "Saying how he doesn't want to be with me anymore." Payton says and Jack goes silent. "Jack?" Payton gets his attention. "Oh sorry um.." Jack trails off. "Jack, is there something you know about Daniel..that I don't." Payton asks. "Payton..what Aspen said, its not true and she's blowing it out of proportion." Jack tells her. "What!? Jack! What is going on with Daniel? What ever it is tell me." She demands. "Look, its not like he doesn't want to be with you..you know he loves you and he knows you love him too." Jack starts to say. "Jack just please tell me.." Payton starts to cry. "He wants to be with you so bad, but everything is happening the way Daniel doesn't want it to." Jack says. "What? What do you mean?" Payton sniffles. "He came to LA to be in the band and be with you as well. But, he just didn't expect everything to happen so fast. He can't keep up." Jack explains. "I got to go.." Payton says and hangs up the phone before Jack can say anything. She just stood there crying..not knowing what to do. What should she do?
