things change ; d.s

Chapter Twenty Seven

Again, sorry about the glitch :/

"Hey I'm ready the rest of them are almost done" once the figure enters the open doorway my mouth drops. "ZACHARY!"

I yell and run to him, swinging my arms around him. He doesn't hug back at first. "It's me, Macy" I whisper. "Oh my god!" he screams, "look at you my gorgeous best friend! I️ didn't see you when I️ walked in, I️ had no idea you were here" I smile, "look at you" I say glancing down at the all black tux he was wearing "you've grown up so much" I finished, he smiles but it quickly fades. "What?" I ask curiously, "you don't wanna see the other boys- they have uh" but before Zach could finish his sentence 3 boys enter the room. I stand there in pure shock. Jack was walking to Morgan with his hair, still curly. But a unbuttoned blazer with nothing else under it revealing his skin. But what I noticed the most was his sleeves of tattoos going up and down both arms and spreading onto his chest a bit. Shortly behind him was Jonah, he looked the exact same except for the bit of hair under his chin. There was about a 30 second pause before someone I️ didn't recognize, this person had sleeves of tattoos similar to Jack. He was in a leather sleeveless jacket with a hood attached to the back and black ripped jeans along with a pair of white fans. He had his hood up over his head and looking down, I️ tried to move my head around to get a glance of him. He wouldn't show his face, all I️ could think is if that was Daniel or a new member. I️ lean over to Zach an whisper "is that Daniel" Zach looks at me and nods. My eyes widen. "What happened?" I️ ask, "I️ don't really know a few weeks after he, you know moved on from you he evolved into someone new. He got old of his girlfriend, the one he cheated on you with and they were together for 2 months and dumped her." He comments, I️ nod in
understanding. "Ladies and gentleman come here" we obey and walk over to Morgan. "So all of you will be paired with another peer," starts Morgan. "Like we did yesterday girls, except it will be a boy and a girl" we nod. "We have decided who we think will look best together" says the lady standing next to Morgan, slightly behind her. I️ believe her name is Cassandra. "Yes" Morgan adds. "If you have a problem with the person you were assigned you will have to deal with it" Morgan laughs, "because it will be hard to change it because of how we think you look together. Understand?" she asks we all nod in unison. "Andrea you are with... Jonah" they look at each other and smile. Andrea has rich blonde straight hair with dark brown eyes. "Talia you will be with Mr. Avery over here" she points her pen in his direction. Talia was absolutely gorgeous, she had short dark brown hair that is naturally wavy and brown eyes also. "Zach you and Lily will be together" Lily was tall and blonde and had light blue eyes. Everyone here was so cute together, I looked around at everyone standing side by side. I completely forgot I hadn't been assigned yet before Morgan taps my shoulder. "You and Seavey. Go" she demands. I stare at her with my jaw dropped, then looked at Daniel and back at Morgan. "Is there a issue Macy?" she asks me. "Uh- um" I look at Daniel, "n-no not at all" I shoot her a fake smile before turning around, noticing everyone else left. I speed walk, almost run to the space at the very end where Daniel and I will be. Our office is quite big, there are about a dozen areas where you can model. (If that makes any sense) I greeted the photographer, Grace. She was the last person lefteveryone else had taken up the other spots. "Hey um, can we not do like- awkward poses" I start, "he's my ex" she smirks at me. "Hm," she taps her chin. "I'll see" I sigh and step onto the white mat that is running up the walls. A few moments later the blue eyed boy steps towards me. "Ops I forgot something, I will be right back" she smirks once again. I give her a dirty glare and inhale. 'It will be good for you guys' she mouths. Holding my breath, I close my eyes and pray that he has forgotten who I was. I release the air from my mouth and flutter open my eyes to see Daniel with his hood off, staring at me with his icy blue eyes, hair sticking straight up just like he used to do it, except messier and longer. He leans in closer to me, I back away but he places his hands on my waist and looks at me. Scans me up and down, multiple times. "What happened?" he asks at last. "You-you've changed." He says in what sounds like disgust. "You used to be this adorable, fun girl. Now you're serious now and more elegant, yo-" I stop him, I take my hands and place them on his and remove them from my waist roughly. "No." I stay sternly, "you don't get to say that. You're the one who has changed, just- just look at you!" I spit, waving my hand in the hair all around him. "You have tattoos, sleeves of tattoos, you are growing a beard for god sake. What you're wearing. It's not you, anything but you." I can feel my voice start to break. "You used to be this sweet, kind, dreamy boy. You would look comforting and nice, not intimidating and mean. You cared for me and loved me and I️ loved you Daniel. You were trustworthy, how can I️ trust you? How can anyone trust you?" He stood there, glaring at me for a few seconds before speaking. "The fans like this version of me better," "how do you know?" I ask. "How, why, when did this all happen?" I quickly talk once more. There is a long pause of silence, due to him not answering my question and instead staring me down once again, making me insecure. I️ look down and rub my bare arm with my hand. Grace comes back, I turn to her and she widens her eyes. I think she is noticing the tears forming in my eyes, 'I'm sorry' she mouths. I shrug it off and take a deep breath. "Ready?" she chirps, jumping up getting herself prepared. Daniel nods, "yes" I respond after collecting my thoughts and myself in general. "I don't know what you want to do.." she trails off, obviously feeling awkward about what I️ had told her earlier. Without warning Daniel grabs my leg and hold it up against his body. He takes my other hand and places it on his face, I look over at him. "Things change, darling." He looks at me, "so this is only one of the changes? You, becoming a new person?" I lock my eyes to his. "An awful person" I️ mumble. He nods and spins us so we are facing each other, letting only a few inches between us. I️ look away from him, not being able to look into his eyes anymore. "Another change was moving on from me?" I️ ask, finally getting the courage. I️ start to feel my eyes starting to burn. I️ could see his jaw clench, instantly regretting the question. "We were becoming distant, and you never texted me" he lies. "Oh no, I️ texted you, I️ direct messaged you on every single social media you have an account on, I️ snap chatted you, I️ called you, so many times." I️ pull away from him, "so many freaking times, and, and you blocked me. If you wanted me out of your life you could've told me, instead of making me promise to never move on. You promised Daniel, you!" I️ was yelling in rage at this point, tears spilling from my eyes. "I️ was waiting for you, waiting for you to respond to me. Until, I️ saw you and that girl. I️ was heartbroken Daniel, I️ was shattered, I️ slept all day and barley ate. It took me months to get better, to forget about you. Partially." I️ wipe my wet, red face with my hand and continue, "I️ never forgot about you, never." I️ pull off the small ring that has been sitting on my finger for 10 months. "I️ have always had a small piece of you hoping you'd come back!" I️ shout, throwing the ring on the ground and stepping on it, twisting my foot. The ring was completely destroyed, Daniel's jaw was dropped open, "Grace tell Morgan I'm sorry and that I️ am feeling sick" I say and run out as fast as I️ can, ripping off my heels and slamming them to the ground. I️ run out the building and quickly order an Uber. "Macy! Macy!" I️ hear behind me. I️ shake my head no, allowing the continuous steam of water to fall. I️ feel arms wrap around me, "Macy, oh my god" the male turns me around to face him. "Let me be Jonah" I️ whisper, unable to speak. "I️ can't," Jonah looks into my eyes, staring into my soul. "Daniel is crying too."

I️ hope you guys liked this one (;
