Roommates (Logan Paul and Why Don't We) [Discontinued]

Chapter 40

It was late at night and both of the boys had fallen fast asleep. My thoughts of earlier that night came flashing back and eventually I had to mention it to Daniel. 

"Danny, how were things with Angie?" I asked and I noticed him tighten up immediately before looking at me and smiling, lying straight into my eyes. 

"Fun, I spent most of the time with the boys though... as usual," Daniel answered. 

"Oh," I replied, "Well Alfie and Louis are fast asleep and I've had a good day—"

"What'd you do?" Daniel questioned. 

"Just ran around, helped celebrate for Alfie's birthday party—"

"No, with Jonah," Daniel interrupted, "What'd you do with Jonah?" 

"What?" I asked. 

I didn't know whether or not to be mad at him for accusing me of something, but I did do it. I just had no idea what to feel. We both cheated on each other, we had kids, we had each other, yet we both did such a childish act that high schoolers would do. 

"I don't like what we have right now," Daniel sighed, "Listen. I haven't been honest with you when Angie in I were in our room she came onto me... and instead of doing nothing or pushing her away I kissed her back. I don't know how you should feel about that, or how I feel about that, but what I do know is that we're married with two kids and we aren't even twenty-five yet." 

"I know I walked in on it, stormed off and made out with Jonah in the car," I sighed, "I don't know how to deal with this either, we both cheated. Me out of anger, and you. I don't know what you were thinking."

"When I lived in Portland I was in love with Angie, I moved here and the feelings faded, but once she kissed me I was finally getting what I wanted back in my high school years," Daniel explained to me and I just listened. 

"Maybe we should take a break," I blurted out loud and Daniel just looked at me, "You know, just like a week. You take your time off and stay with the boys and I stay here with our boys. Maybe that's what we need, just some resting time to think." 

The last time I had some resting time to think was when I had to choose between Daniel and Jonah, and well the results are obvious. Here we were though the same thing happening again, and I knew there was a slight chance that Daniel would realize he's still in love with Angie and go to her, there was also the chance he'd come right back to me. 

No matter what I tried to believe that he'd come back to me, but a part of me realized that maybe the boys, the baby on the way, the dogs, and the cats would all just be my responsibility, and Daniel would leave forever. 

"That might be best," Daniel sighed going into our room to pack his bags, within ten minutes he came back out to the living room with a suitcase and he just looked at me and left. There was no reassuring see you soon look, there was no hug, there was no kiss, he didn't say bye to the boys. At the moment I was sure that I lost my Daniel. 

At that moment I didn't know what to do. I just let him leave in front of me, but he claimed he'd come back after a week. I just walked into Alfie's room and checked up on him as he slept peacefully not aware of what his mother just watched. 

"Hey Alfie, how's my baby boy doing? One year old is a big one my love, I'm sorry on this special day Daddy and I decided to take a break. Mommy's just afraid she's going to lose Daddy, he's a big pop star in a band and he might still be in love with his best friend in high school. Mommy knows though that Daddy cares so much for his family, there's always the chance he'll just leave. If Daddy ends up not coming back, you should know that he loved you and Louis very much, it's just he was in love with someone else," I ranted hovered over Alfie's crib as he was sleeping soundly. 

I didn't even notice that I was full on crying or that I had accidentally picked up a phone call and set it on speaker. Until I heard a very familiar voice, it was Jack. 

"Emma. I was calling to say that I left something at your house, but um... I'm sorry I heard that. I- I shouldn't hav—is Daniel?" Jack obviously didn't know what to say to me and I just took a deep breath before exiting Alfie's room and going into the living room. 

"Daniel and I are taking a break," I explained, "I think he's in love with Angie, and I think he thinks so also." 

"But he wouldn't leave you," Jack replied, "I know how much he cares about all of you." 

"I know, I'm just going through a hard time right now. I'm three months along also, about to have our third," I reminded him and Jack paused for a while before speaking.

"He's at the door now," Jack told me, "The doorbell just rang, do we take him in?" 

"Of course you do, he's your bandmate," I answered.

"But you're his wife," Jack replied. 

"I don't know about that anymore..." I trailed off, "Things just won't be the same after this one event I know it. Even when he comes back, I know he'll still be in love with her." 

"Emma. Don't say that, things can turn around. He loves you, you love him, you have kids, you have dogs, you have cats, there's a baby on the way. Make sure that baby knows her father and just doesn't listen to him on the radio or see him in interviews. Make sure you don't replace Daniel, make sure you stay together. Everything right now is just a small bump in the road. I'm gonna go now, but you make sure you stay together forever," Jack lectured me and then he hung up right away leaving me on the couch staring at my phone notifications from the other boys asking me why Daniel showed up to their house with luggage, I decided not to respond.
