Crashing Down // Daniel Seavey

Crashing Down Chapter 12

*Your POV*

I feel nerves growing inside of me and spreading like a wildfire when I realize that I'm about to stay a night at the Why Don't We house. My heart jumps when I feel something touch my hand. I look down to a hand intertwined with mine, my eyes follow up the person's arm and to their face. The nerves cease when I look deep into Daniel's ocean eyes, looking at me with sympathy. The door swings open revealing a person with a beaming smile and rosy red cheeks, Zach. I watch Zach's eyes body scan me, but stop at my hand that was tightly squeezing Daniel's. I guess Daniel noticed too because I watch as his hand quickly drops mine and shuffles up and down his thigh showing that he is uncomfortable.

Z- "Well hi! I'm Zach, but I'm guessing you already knew that." he laughs.

Y/N- "Yeah... I'm y/n, but I'm guessing you already knew that."

Z- "Yeah I actually did." His eyes swerve to Meg.

Z- "And you are?" he says body checking her.

M- "I'm Meg and you're too young for me, so I wouldn't even try."

Z- "Dang, a guy can't just check you out?"

M- "Not when he's 15, oh sorry 16."

Z- "Dang alright." he laughs.

Z- "Come on I'll show you two around and introduce you to the other boys."

He grabs Meg and I's arms and yanks us forward. I turn back to look at Daniel, but he was gone... huh that's weird. Zach brought us to the kitchen first where all the boys were sitting there laughing, until we walked in and the room fell into silence. Jonah hops off his barstool and walks over. He sticks his arm out for me to take.

Jo- "Hey... y/n... I'm Jonah..."

I can't help but laugh.

Jo- "Wh-what?"

He releases my hand and looks and the floor confused.

Y/N- "You act like I don't know who you are."

He scratches his head,

Jo- "Oh... yeah... right..."

Y/N- "Jonah... I was joking calm down."

He smiles then walk to the cupboard.

Jo- "Do you want any food?"

Y/N- "Um... I don't really have an appetite, but thanks."

Jo- "Oh yeah... right... I'm so sorry."

My eyes hit the floor... I know exactly why he is apologizing... my mom...

Y/N- "Yeah... um... thanks..."

Jack comes over and hugs me when he realizes I am about to cry. I hear him whisper in my ear.

Ja- "It's nice to meet you y/n. You're strong I know it's hard... really hard, but I know you can get through this. I believe in you."

He lets go of me and looks into my teary eyes. As a tear falls, he wipes it away.

Ja- "Hey come on... I'll show you to your room..."

I nod as the tears keep streaming down my face.

As Jack and I walk away, I hear the whispers of Corbyn, "Great going Jonah," then Zach, "you made the poor girl cry." "I'm sorry, I'm stupid... I'm going to bed," I hear Jonah say. We walk down the long narrow hallway full of rooms. I look into a room where I see Daniel with his guitar and a notebook. His eyes meet mine, but the gaze was interrupted when Daniel closes the door. Jack nudges me into a large guest room.

Ja- "Here... this is where you will stay... Meg has the room next door."

Y/N- "Th-thanks."

Ja- "Yeah of course... oh here..." he hands me a big t-shirt.

Y/N- "What's this?"

Ja- "It's one of shirts cause I'm guessing you don't have anything to sleep in."

Y/N- "Oh yeah... thank you so much."

Ja- "Of course."

I watch him close the door and listen to his footsteps fade into oblivion. I slipped out of clothes and put his shirt on. I crawl into the neatly kept bed and turn the lights out. I stared at the ceiling as I thought about the encounter I had with Daniel. What the hell did I do? I thought as my mind shut off and went to sleep.
