West Coast Love {A Why Don't We Fanfiction}

Chapter 26

"Babe, I'm fine." I rolled my eyes. I sat on my comfy bed, in one of Daniels sweaters he didn't know I stole from his closet.

"Okay good. I miss you. Also have you seen my Vans hoodie? I thought I packed it..? I hope it didn't get lost on the plane." He said, I could practically hear the eye roll.

I looked down out my hoodie. Sure enough, it was the Vans hoodie. "Maybe you just left it?" I suggested, trying not to make my grin obvious through the phone. 

"Mhmmmm... Is it comfy?" He asked, sarcastly. I giggled "Very.. Good choice." I said, laughing. He laughed. 

"Is that Daniel?" I looked up, my dad had walked to my door. "

"Yeah dad. Do you wanna talk to him?" I asked, keeping the phone to my ear. I could hear Daniel go "NOO ASHLEY DON'T YOU DARE." Before I handed the phone to my dad, smirking. 

Daniel had never formly met my dad. Sure they'd skyped, and talked on the phone. But my Dad made Daniel super nervous. I guess because my dad is pretty 'big'. Like hes 6'4, and just very large. He made a lot of people look like midgets, including myself.

I laughed at the awful jokes my dad made.

I pulled up to Lucy's little yellow house. I'd always loved her house. It was so cute. She hopped in. "SHOPPPPINNNGGG" We squealed together. (A/N The person Lucy is based off hates shopping and I know shes reading this and will yell at me later for writing that she loves shopping BUT FOR THIS BOOK SHE WILL LOVE SHOPPING)

The closes mall was an hour away. Perks of living in a small town. So on the way there we jammed to Why Dont We and talked about upcoming videos. We planned on doing a few collabs. Nothing was set and stone just yet thought. 

We finally got to the mall. Our favorite store was H&M. By like 30000 miles. We headed straight there. Stopping for pictures and such. We were on the second floor, so we had to go through the mens section, to get to the womens. 

"I bet Daniel would love this." I said stopping, looking over a t-shirt. Lucy stopped, glancing over it. "Yeah, how much?" She asked, grabbing the shirt and fumbling around for the tag. Even thought we were getting close to 10 million, we both came from poorer homes. Yes we got by. But just we grew up, always checking price tags. It became habit. "OOOo, its on sale. ten bucks." She said, reading the price tag. I squealed, slung it over my arm, we then spread over the mens sections scouting for the boys. We agreed not to give each other presents until we were all back in LA. I believe everyone would have arrived by January 3rd. So we'd probably do it that day, if the boys had time. 

"Ashley?" I recongized that name to well. It sent dread through my body. I looked up. Lucy was a few racks down, but stopped what she was doing and looked up. There he stood, Gabe. His brunette hair, swept to the side. He was dressed nicely. His southern accent was as thick as ever. "Gabe." I said, coldly. Lucy immedatly was at my side. "Wassup Dollface!" He said, turning towards her and winking. She cringed at the nickname. He had called her that through out their entire relationship and she hated it. "So what are you doing back in North Carolina?" I asked, glaring. Trying to give him the hint to get the (excuse my french mother) fuck outta here. "Oh, I came back for family... Oregan gets pretty lonely when your the only one. I just wished my girlfriend was here. She couldn't come." He said, sighing. I nodded. "Well, we have a meeting to get to, so see ya." I said, grabbing Lucy's arm and yanking her towards the check out line. Which was thanfully empty. We paid, and skert skerted down the stairs into the womens section. Lucy was hardly talking. I got worried. Normally we bantered back and forth. 

Jesus christ, Gabe always had to come and fuck everything good for her up. He was the lowest they come. He dragged her through hell and back like 666 times. He was a rat, a snake. Ugh. She finally perked up when we went into Victoria Secret. 

"Do you think Zach would like this?" She said, showing me a matching red bra and thong. My mouth dropped. "YOU AND ZACH ARE HAVING SEX?" I screamed, causing Lucy to turn bright red and several people to look at us wierdly. "ASHLEY OF COURSE NOT." She said, rolling her eyes. I breathed a sigh of relief. "THEN WHY DO YOU WANT THE SEXY BRAS." I said, with a frown. 

She giggled, confusing me. "I have a really good gift for Zach, but I wanna prank him with this." She said, trying to stiffle her laughing. I started laughing, "No, I think we should go with the blue one then." I said, winking. She giggled.

Me and Lucy squeezed into the little row of seats. Thank god we always take the 'get the two outer seats' method. Nobody had bought the middle seat. Thank goodness. 

I texted Daniel, our flight had been delayed. So we wouldn't get to Los Angles until the 3rd. It was currently 11:30 PM. Honestly? Daniel would probably never answer. He's most likely asleep. All the boys go to sleep hella early, and then theres me and Lucy sneaking downstairs to steal food at like 3 AM. Its true, we've snuck out of their rooms together. 

I was shocked, that he texted me almost right away. Thats not normal..... 

I decided to shrug it off, as the plane got ready to take off. Maybe they were up late doing something for tour. 

--

We landed early that morning, yawning I stepped out into the bright sunny sun. A taxi pulled right up, and opened the door for us. "Miss Love? Miss West?" The driver asked, we nodded and stepped into the back of the taxi. Who rode in taxi's anymore anyways? Why had someone sent one for us? These question flew through my head, as I glanced at Lucy. She was just as confused. 

It pulled up to the boys house. Maybe Tilly was there and had sent for us? Maybe the boys did. Daniel was one hundred percent awake. Jonah probably was aswell. But the other boys most likely wasn't. So I was very suprised to walk in, Daniel had given me a key about a month ago, and none of the boys were awake. All them were snoring. Even Aspen wasn't awake. This was not normal. Something had to be going on. 

"Do you think we should just leave?" Lucy suggested, looking around the sleeping house. I nodded, we left and headed to our own apartment. "When does your car arrive?" Lucy asked, setting her suitecase down. "Tomorrow" I said, excitiedly. While back home, my favorite car, the one i'd wanted since I was 14. They had 2019 Jeep Patriots, on sale. So of course I bought one. DUUUAH. I was tired of buying Ubers all the time anyways. I mean what if a murder was my driver???? I felt safer having my own car. It was a sleek black one, and I couldn't be more excited. I went in my room and basically passed out from jet lag.

I woke to my phone buzzing, "Heller?" I said, sleeply into the phone.

"PRINCESS. FINALLY YOU ANSWERED." I heard Daniels worried voice on the other end. I perked up a bit. "Yeah yeah, sorry I'm just-" I fell back asleep in the middle of my sentence. A classic. (A/N *winkz*) 

Someone kept poking me, I swatted their hand away. Grumbling. Then a huge weight flopped ontop of me, crushing my lungs. My eyes popped open. Daniel was squishing me. I smacked him on the back, he rolled over to face me. Coughing, "DANIEL, WHAT THE FLIPPER JACKS." He laughed. "Is Princess not happy?" He laughed again, stroking my cheek. I frowned. "Fuck you Daniel James Seavey." I said, flopped back down on the pillow and closing my eyes. "I think you meant KING DANIEL JAMES SEAVEY." He said, squeezing my cheeks. "Nope. Your not my King yet. You're still a Prince." I said, swatting his hand away. He scoffed. "EXCUSE ME." He said, acting like a drama queen. I rolled on to my stomache in atempt to get him to leave me alone. "C'mon on danniiiiiii" I said, drawing out the I's. I took a peek at him. He rolled his eyes. "BUTTTT I WANNA OPEN GIFTS." He whined. URGH. "Don't you have rehursal or something?" I asked, shoving a pillow on top fo my head. "Fine. Be that way." I felt him get off the bed. Sighing, I closed my eyes. But I couldn't fall back asleep. I missed him. I kinda wished he would have insisted on staying with me, or something. I frowned. Why the fuck was I so clingy? I wanted him to leave me alone so I could sleep. But now I couldn't sleep and I wanted him back. FML.

I decided after 20 minutes of tossing and turning to get up, Lucy was still asleep. Normal. Daniel had really left. I frowned. I figured he would have stayed in the living room or something. Not just straight up leave. Ugh, why was he so confusing today? Something must be up with him.

I checked the time. It was only 10 AM. I had only had peaceful sleep for an hour. I opened the blinds, being almost blinded by the sunlight that poured in. 

DANIELS POV

Okay, So I have something to confess.... I just have to get it off my chest. But man, I really screwed up.
