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

Chapter 31

I quickly buckled my seat belt as I felt the plane tilt.

**

I ran off the plane, it was now 3 in the morning. I fiddled with the promise ring, i'd put on my left hand. I got into a taxi, waiting on the curb.

The car pulled up to Daniels house. I'd came here a few times, but not many. I knocked lightly on the door. All I had brought was my purse, it was 3 am. I didn't expect anyone to answer.

A few seconds past, I heard soft footsteps coming towards the door. It swung open. Daniel's sister Anna stood in the doorway, she was dressed in a silk nightgown. "Ash-" She started, her voice a tiny whisper. "Is Daniel here? I need to see him.." I said, my voice frantic and probably too loud. Her face fell.

"Ashley im sorry, Daniel left on a plane to LA 3 hours ago.." My heart dropped. The plane. A plane crashed. What if it was his plane? "Anna, Daniel might have crashed..." Anna had been holding her cellphone, it crashed to the floor. She sprinted into the house, a few minutes later she came back with her mom, dad, and Tyler. "What? Tyler call Jack. SOMEONE FIND MY BABY." Keri screamed. I jumped.

JACKS POV

My phone started buzzing like crazy. I groaned. It can't be morning yet.. I grabbed the phone. I had a call from Keri. huh? I quickly answered. "Jack? Jack??"

"Yeah Keri, whats wrong?"

"Um, ashley just showed up. Sh-she s-said theres been-n a-a down-ned plane. D-Daniel wa-as on his wa-ay there."

"Oh.. Hold on." I got up, running downstairs waking up everyone. I turned on the tv. To the news.

A old tv show was on. DAMMNIT. "Keri hold on. Breathe." I said into the phone. Corbyn walked angerily into the living room. "What the f-" "Daniel was on a plane. A plane crashed. Ashley's in Portland. We need to find Daniel." He quickly shut up, pulling out his phone.

"yes? Channel 6? We need all the information on the plane crash that happened around..?" "1 am." "around 1 am. Yes i'll hold."

"Keri, Keri listen.. Corbyn's on the phone now. We'll find him okay?" Keri started crying into the phone. I could hear many voices coming from the reciever. But wait, why was Ashley in Portland?

"Hello? Yes. Yes I'm still here.... Oh... Thank you..." Corbyn hung up the phone. He put his head in his hands. "Corbyn what is it?" Zach and Jonah had walked in. "There-e w-were n-oo surv-viors." He started hiccupping. "Jack? Jack what did he say?" I couldn't speak. I couldn't move. My best friend.. Was.. was.. dead... I dropped the phone. It clanked agaisn't the hard wood.

ASHLEYS POV

I sat and cried on the couch. Daniel was dead. How could he be dead. I couldn't believe it. Anna walked in, wrapped in a blanket. "Ashley, you better get some sleep, your flight leaves at 6 AM. You can't miss your wedding." She gave me a sad smile, a few tears leaked out of her eyes. My lip quivered, and my hands shook as I took the pillow she handed to me. She shuffled away.

I cried as I boarded the plane. Everyone's hearts were heavy.

We landed, and I got a Uber.

Stepping quietly into the apartment, "ASHLEY WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN WHY'D YOU GO TO PORTLAND? IS HE DDEAD???" Lucy screeched. I winced at the sound of his name. "Lulu.... Can we please talk about this tomorrow? It's my wedding day..." A few tears came out of my eyes. Lucy clamped her mouth shut, but she didn't look happy. I walked into my room. My wedding dress was hanging on the closet door. Flowers were everywhere. I pushed a few things aside and plopped on my bed.

Ethan called me. "Babe? I heard about Daniel? Do you want to postpone?"

"N-no, he wanted me to be happy." My voice cracked a little bit, he said I love you and we hung up.

**
"You look beautiful darling.." my bald dad said, his voice was weak. The cancer was getting stronger and wasn't going away.

I spun in the mirror. Angi poked her head through the door. "It's time." I nodded. I helped my dad up and we walked outside and into the limo.

The limo stopped outside the beach. My whole body shook. I didn't let the tears fall. I held them in. I was going to marry someone who loved me. Who I loved. Daniel was gone. I couldn't do anything about it. It just wasn't meant to be.

**
The music played, I started walking. Helping my dad along. The sand wiggles beneath my toes. It was sunset, a slight breeze. It was perfect.

The ceremony went through as normal. It was about to seal the deal with I do's.

Ethan saw the promise ring. He looked hurt. I bit my lip, id forgotten to take it off.

He whispered "I do." My heart was racing.

"I-"

"WAIT STOP!"
