Is he the one?

Chapter 11. Best Friends

Lizzie's POV

As I left the house I rang a taxi to come pick me up. I only had to wait a few minutes before I saw the orange taxi sign on the roof of the small, black mini. I brought out my phone while I got into the car and I showed the driver the hotel address and he started to drive.I texted Emily and told her that I was on my way.

Looking out the window, I put my phone down and realised how pretty America is. I was just staring at the landscape and I didn't realise that the car had stopped. I quickly paid the driver and stepped out in front of quite a fancy hotel. Walking into the lovely air-conditioned lobby I spotted an armchair near the lifts, I walked towards it and sat down, texting Emily as well. I was just about to hit send but I heard the lift ding, I looked up and saw my two best friends looking for me.

I ran up to them, very excited and their faces lit up once they saw me. I pulled them into an immense hug, lasting for quite a few minutes.

"I missed you two!" I almost yelled excitedly.

"It's only been a few weeks!" Fern laughs at me.

"I know but I need to fill you in on everything." I say, looking at both of them.

"Well, let's go to a café then, I really need a hot chocolate." Emily looks at me excitedly.

"Then off we go!" Fern says loudly, making a superman pose. We all laughed as we made our way to the exit.

We walked along the street until we found a little coffee shop, we then got a table and ordered our drinks. I was telling them everything, from meeting the WDW boys, to Jonah yelling at me for hanging out with Daniel. When our drinks came Emily asked to see a pic of the boys. I happily showed them and pointed them out to them.

"Oooh, Corbyn's cute, don't you think?" Fern asked me.

"Yeah I guess but he has a girlfriend, sorry to burst your bubble." I laugh at her as she gave a pout. "And you have a boyfriend Fern!" She just laughed

"What about Jack then?" Emily pointed out.

"Um, don't you have a boyfriend too?" I almost tell her. She gave one of those fair-enough looks and went back to picking the marshmallows off of the top of her drink and popping them in her mouth.

We finished our drinks and I invited them back to mine. We called another taxi, the drive home wasn't that long which was good. When we got back I paid the man and walked in the front door. I could hear the boys in the living room. 

"Ugh, they're sill here," I said in disbelief, "they've been here, in that room for nearly six hours!" I told the girls.

I walked into the living room, Emily and Fern right behind me, and all the boys turn their heads. Corbyn smiled at us, Jonah said hi quietly, Daniel looked right into my eyes and gave a smirk and a subtle wink, Jack looked at me but quickly turned his attention to Em and Fern, and Zach barely took his eyes off the TV as he said hi.

The three of us said hi and I introduced Em and Fern to the boys and we walked towards the empty seats. On my way I hit jack (lightly) on the head and whispered to him "They both have boyfriends." he looked at me disappointed but the turned his gaze back towards SpongeBob. 

The free spaces were at the end of the sofa, next to Daniel. Fern and Emily had already sat down but they left me the space next to Daniel. Emily wiggled her eyebrows at me  while I rolled my eyes at her and took he seat in between Fern and Daniel.

We carried on watching SpongeBob and the Simpsons for about an hour before Zach said that he was hungry. At the mention of this I started to get up but I realised that I couldn't because at some point  Daniel had put his arm around me and was holding my hand. I smiled as I sank back down into my seat, snuggling to Daniel as I did so. I looked at the sisters who both had their phones out, pointing towards Daniel and I but as soon as I looked at them, they turned their phones off. We all laughed but I could see on their face that something bad had happened.

They were looking behind me so I did too, all I could see was a very angry Jonah looking at Daniel and I. I thought that we had gotten over this but obviously not. I whispered "look at Jonah" into Daniel's ear. I could see his eyes  slowly move to face Jonah, we slowly let go of each other as I got up and walked to the kitchen.

I found Corbyn standing near a pot of boiling pasta looking at his phone, when he saw me he looked up and smiled at me. I don't know what came over me but tears just started to spring from my eyes and I ran towards him to give him a big hug. I knew he was surprised at first because he didn't hug back right away but after a second he did and he started rubbing my back and tried to comfort me. 

"Shhhh," he said softly to me, "don't worry, about a thing," he started singing quietly, "'cause every little thing, is gonna be alright." I pulled away at the last bit and laughed at his kindness. That was one of my favourite songs of all time. Wiping a tear from my cheek, he looked at me and said "What's wrong?"

I started to explain, I told him how I quite liked Daniel and how Jonah was annoyed at me for doing so, and how he yelled at me for trying to hang out with him. I said how I thought that we talked it over and I thought that everything was going to be fine but then how Jonah looked at me with anger made me feel terrible just a few moments ago. About halfway through my explanation he pulled me back into another hug and started humming the tune to don't worry about a thing which started to calm me down, he handed me a tissue and told me that I should go upstairs with Em and Fern and have a relaxing night, he said that he would bring me dinner when it was ready. He was making spag bol.

I was making my way back to the living room when I felt a hand grab my wrist and spin me around. I half expected it to be Daniel but I was not completely surprised when I saw Corbyn with a glass of water, he handed it to me and gave me a reassuring nod as he turned back to the spaghetti.

I got to the door but I couldn't go in looking like I was right then, a hot mess. I then walked up the stairs and texted Fern to come up the stairs with Em. A few seconds later I heard a mumble of various byes as I saw the two emerge from the lounge. I brought them to my room and told them that I really didn't want to be downstairs. We then started to do a pamper night as they were spending the night around mine.

A/N - Helloooo. Finally a longer chapter today so I am proud of myself. Also, I'm sorry that Lizzie is a bit emotional but please tell me if you think she is getting annoying, and the word count is currently 1350+.

Anyways, thanks for reading and I will probably update again on Friday or it may be Saturday because on Friday I am going to my best friend's house and I have not seen her in quite a while. Well, like I said thanks for watching and I'll see you later, BYEE.
