Oh my god. That's..... Gwen. Daniels ex. He told me about her one of the first nights we had as a band. She hurt him so bad. That was almost a year ago. He still hasn't gotten over her. She's staring right at us. I look back at Danny and his eyes full with tears. He runs out of Starbucks and I get up to follow him. He spins around and tells me to stay. He'll be fine. He says this. False. I sit down as told and he leaves. I put my head down and text Corbyn.
~Texts~
Me~ "We are at Starbucks and Shay is here. Danny ran out and told me to stay. What do i do??"
Corbyns typing...
Corbyn~ "We will look for him. Don't let Shay out of your sight. She's not supposed to be in LA. She's suppose to be in Portland."
Me~ "Mkay. Please find him. I'm so worried."
~Texts over~
I look over to where Gwen was and she's gone. My heart starts to pound and I get so nervous. In the matter of two seconds there was a phone in my face and a pair of lips on mine. Flash. I get up pushing the lips away. I look up. GWEN?!?!
Me~ "WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL SHAY?!"
Gwen~ "Mmmmm Daniels not gonna be happy with this pic. Annnddd send." She sets her phone down and looks at me with a nasty smirk. I wanted to punch her. I grab her phone and see the picture. Shit. I tear rolls down my face. Daniels going to be heartbroken. I sit down as he had told me earlier and quietly sob. Shay leaves the coffee shop. I don't care. My chances with Daniel are done.

I try and have a nice coffee date thing with Jack and she has to ruin it. Gwen broke me. I still haven't gotten over her. A year later. She broke me so bad just seeing her made me tear up. I'm just walking down Hollywood boulevard thinking. Tears uncontrollably stroll down my face. My vision is blurry and I can't think straight. I thought I should go back to Jack but 1) Gwen's there and 2) I don't want him seeing me a broken mess. Still blurred vision I see a blur of black and blond run over to me. Corbyn. God Jack told him. I blink and see him clear. He has such a worried look on his face.
Corbyn~ "Daniel. Daniel. DANNY!" I look at him. Damn I spaced out again. He's just looking at me both hands on my shoulders. He pulls me in a hug. I start to sob again.
Me~ "Cor..rbyn s..h.hes b..back a..again a.and it h..hurts so ba..ad" I barely get the words out of my mouth. He quietly shushes me and rubs my back.
Corbyn~ "Its ok buddy. It's ok. Here. Let's go back to the house and relax." I nod and then see Zach and Jonah walk up to me. Zach engulfs me in a hug later joined my Jonah.
We get into an uber and I start to calm down and scroll through Insta. I soon get a text from and unknown number.
Unknown~ "Lost your boy toy. Guess you weren't good enough Dani! Luv ya!" Confused u look at the attached picture. My heart stops. I can't breathe. I drop my phone still frozen. Corbyn takes the phone and gasps. Zach and Jonah along with him. I let out my breath.
Me~ "Please stop." I kindly say to the uber driver. My voice cracking. He pulls over and I jump out hearing a "Daniel" from Corbyn. I gently slam the car door and run. I run hard and I run fast. I finally stop at a park far from the house. I sit down on a tree stump and absolutely break down. I loved him. So many thought run threw my brain. Jack. Gwen. He wouldn't do that to me. Or would he. I thought I knew him. I thought he liked me. I couldn't stop crying. Shay broke me once again but this time she had help. I couldn't believe what a nice coffee date turned into. Not only did Jack cheat on my even though we weren't official. He did it with her. I couldn't open my eyes which were filled with tears. I couldn't see at all. Somewhere after an hour of so of just thinking, crying, and just being there I feel a hand on my shoulder. Thinking it was Corbyn I look up. To my surprise I see a girl. A very beautiful one may I add but of course I'm still gay. She looks so concerned. She crouches down and sits with me. She has brown hazelnut hair and beautiful blue eyes like mine. She's wearing a white crop top and some leggings with Nike running shoes. She sets her bag down and her water bottle and pulls me into a hug. She's so sweet and kind. I'm a total stranger and she's comforting me.
Girl~ "When your ready do you wanna talk. My name is Veronica. It's ok. I'm here." She's so sweet. I nod and straighten up a little bit. Breathe. I tell myself. I calm down.
Me~ "I'm Daniel." I finally say. She smiles.
Veronica~ "Hello Daniel. Now. Are you alright do you want to talk about it?" Her smile fades into a worried look. I start to explain everything. Yes to this person I just met I explain everything. From everything with Gwen to Jack and myself being different and how I almost died. She just nodded quietly and listened the whole time. I finally stop and she just looks at me.
Me~ "Please say something." She giggles. Adorably too.
Veronica~ "Daniel. I don't have much to say. Just know I'm right here. I totally understand. I'm so glad to have spoken to you. Are you alright now?" I smile.
Me~ "Yeah. Thank you so much. Your such a kind person. I don't know what I would have done before you came and helped me. I could never thank you." Still smiling she puts her hand out indicating my phone. I hand it over open to my home screen and she adds her contact as Ronni🌲💕. Giving it back she says..
Veronica~ "It was nice meeting you Daniel. I'm so sorry but I must go. My friends are waiting for me. We have to start our tour." This catches my attention.
Me~ "Tour?" She giggles again.
Veronica~ "Yeah im in a girl band of four ,Including me, and we sing a bit." She puts her head down in embarrassment. I lift it up. She looks at me.
Me~ "I'm in a boy band of five including me. We also sing. What's the name of your band?" This is so cool. I thought she couldn't be better as a person.
Veronica~ " it's Always Dreaming. It's kind a stupid but yeah." I laugh. She looks at me hurt.
Me~ "No no no I'm not laughing at the name. I like it. My bands name is stupid too. It's called Why Don't We. We have so much in common." She giggles again and nods.
Veronica~ "Well I really must go. Text me later. I'm sorry you've had such a rough day Daniel. I'm glad I met you." She gets up and I pull her into a hug.
Me~ "Thank you so much Veronica. And me too. Bye." We both leave. I dread as I head home. I don't wanna face anyone really. I open the door and rush upstairs passing them silent to my room which is empty. I leave the door open a bit just lay there. My eyes getting droopy I hear footsteps. Too tired to even look I don't. I soon hear a story humming and a hand on my shoulder. Corbyn. Tears still falling slowly I fall asleep listening to my best friends beautiful voice.

I feel unbelievably awful. I spent the rest of the night looking for Daniel. No luck I go home sobbing. Zach, and Jonah are on the couch unaware I entered. The floor creaks as I walk a little further. They all glare at me. Damn it they saw the picture. Corbyn quietly comes downstairs. I was about to explain when he cut me off. He's pissed.
Corbyn~ "WHAT THE F*CK JACK. WE TRUSTED YOU. HOW COULD YOU SO THIS TO DANEIL AND WITH GWEN. YOU KNOW HOW MUCH IT STILL HURTS HIM!!." He whisper shouts. Weird. He calms down a bit. "You're no longer part of the band. Find another place to sleep tonight. You can pick your stuff up tomorrow." I can't believe it. I understand. I was about to tell them the true story when Jonah just gets up and points to the door.
Jonah~ "Don't bother looking anymore. He's sleeping upstairs. Away from you." They all hate me. I'll just explain tomorrow. There's no way I can get a word out now with them glaring at me. I walk out. It's already 9 PM. I call the only person in LA I know. Logan.
