Adopted by Logan Paul (Completed)

Chapter 37

Emma's POV:

"Zach stop tickling me!" I plead as tear fall down my cheeks from laughing so hard.

"Not until you say it." Zach says as his fingers tickle my stomach.

"Never!" I exclaim.

"Say it!" He demands.

"Fine! You're the best singer in Why Don't We!" I say and Zach gets off of me. I hold my stomach as Zach fixes his hair.

"That was fun." Zach says.

"Yeah." I say and walk over to the trampoline. I get on and start jumping. A few seconds later, Zach joins me. As we're jumping, Zach's foot goes behind my ankle, causing me to fall. He falls right after on top of me, with our faces inches apart.

"Are you Okay?" Zach whispers.

"Yeah." I say out of breath. We stare into each others eyes for a brief moment. Then, I looked down at his lips, and noticed he was doing the same to me. We started to lean in, but I realized it was wrong. No. I can't do it. Not to Daniel. He doesn't deserve it.

"Zach, stop. We can't do this. He's your best friend." I say and turn my head.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking." He says and gets up. "This was fun Em. I'll see ya around."

"Zach, you don't have to leave." I say.

"Yes I do. We're supposed to record a mashup anyways. Text me." He says and walks out. I sigh. Noah's still asleep and I'm super bored.

Daniels POV:

"Hey babe." Lovey smiles.

"Hey." I say and peck her lips with mine.

"What are you doing today?" She asks.

"Recording a mashup with the boys." I say and put a small notebook with song lyrics on the desk next to me.

"Sounds fun. Maybe we could have some fun of our own later tonight." She winks.

"Uh..Lovey. You're joking, right?" I ask. She giggles.

"Of course. I'm not a slut." She says.

"Yeah." I laugh nervously.

"But I was planning on going to dinner tonight. Want to come?" She asks.

"Sure, why not?" I say and smile, then walk out of the studio. It can't be that bad.

"I'll text you the details. Bye, love you!" She says.

"You too." I say and get into my car. The truth was, I didn't love her. I love Emma. But we haven't talked in 2 months. I feel bad, but if I continued going with her, The person would've leaked everything about Emma and I. I couldn't do that to Em. Also, I'd go to jail...

"I still cant believe you and Lovey are dating." Jack says. It's me, Corbyn, Jonah, and Jack in the car. We still haven't told any of the guys about the threatening. Jack and I don't know who it is, and they haven't given us any hints. The only reason I'm dating Lovey is to get Emma off my mind.

"I know. She's a bit-"

"Hey! That's my girlfriend you're talking about!" I cut off Corbyn.

"You don't actually like her do you?" Jonah asks.

"I like her." I say and look out the window.

"Sure." Jack scoffs.

"Guys, if you have a problem just say something." I say. The rest of the car ride is in silence until we get into the house. I get a call from Lovey. I'm assuming about our date tonight.

"Hey babe." She says.

"Hey." I say.

"Tonight at 7:15 we are going to Outback." Lovey says.

"Again?" I groan.

"Babe, you know I love that place. Besides, it's where we met." Lovey says.

"Alright. I've got to go record a mashup. I'll talk to you later." I say.

"Okay. Bye love you." She says.

"Love you too Emma." I say and hang up. I look at the boys, who's eyes are wide.

"What?" I ask.

"You just called Lovey Emma..." Corbyn says. I get on my phone as quickly as possible and call Lovey back.

"You know I meant to say your name, right?!" I ask.

"Danny, if you still love her, why are you dating me?"  She asks.

"I don't love her, I love you!" I say.

"Are you sure?" She says.

"Yes, Why don't you believe me?" I ask.

"Because you left your little songbook here. I'm not a girl with 'long brunette hair' or 'beautiful brown eyes.' You wrote this song two days ago." Lovey says, quoting a song I wrote.

"Lovey I-"

"You don't have to explain, Danny. You still love her, I get that. I wish you luck." She says and hangs up. I sigh and slump in my chair.

"Dude, I'm sorry." Jonah says.

"I'm not!" Corbyn says. "You can get back with Emma!"

"No Corbyn, I can't." I say.

"Why not?" Jonah asks.

"Well...Jack and I have something to tell you guys. But, we'll wait until Zach gets here to tell you." I say.

"Tell us what?" Zach asks as he walks through the front door.

"Um...sit down." Jack directs. All the guys sit on the couch.

"So, Jack and I have been getting threatened. Like, bad." I say.

"What, by who?!" Corbyn asks.

"We aren't sure. We tried to find out, but it didn't work." Jack explains.

"When did it start?" Jonah asks.

"A couple weeks after Emma and I started dating." I say.

"That's why you broke up with Emma." Zach discovers.

"Yes." I say with disappointment.

"How could you do that to her?!" Zach yells.

"Zach, calm down." Corbyn says.

"No! Emma has been crying over you every night for two months!" Zach says, which makes my heart break a little more.

"They would've leaked everything about us, Zach. Emma and I's relationship. Our bank accounts, including our families. Logan and Emma's relationship. I couldn't do that to her. And..I'd go to jail." I explain.

"This is bull shit! We need to find out who's doing this so I can pound their face in!" Zach says.

"Zach, no matter what, do NOT tell Emma. Or anyone for that matter, all of you. If this person finds out I told you, they'll ruin us." I say.
