Him | Daniel Seavey [SLOW UPDATES]

Chapter 8

Halfway through These Girls, Christina and I went from watching backstage to watching in the crowd. I'd never been in this section of the crowd before, at a concert, and boy it was difficult. Girls aged 10-18 pushing each other, trying to get to the front of the stage to see their favourite member clearly.

People were stepping on my feet and I was shoved into Christina multiple times. I tried my best to remain calm and enjoy the performance but being pushed by teenaged girls didn't make it easy for me.

"Take the time with me tonight, you should come with me tonight, we can feel free tonight. Nobody gotta know." Zach sang.

Soon it was the end of the show. The boys took a bow before running off stage. Christina and I headed backstage to see the guys.

"Wow! You guys were amazing!" I complimented them.

"Thanks." Jack smiled.

Christina ran up to Corbyn and they kissed. It was cute but I couldn't watch for more than a second before averting my eyes away.

"How was being in the crowd?" Daniel hugged me.

"Annoying. My feet got stepped on and I was pushed multiple times by sweaty girls." I hung my arms around his neck and he placed his hands on my hips.

"Ahh but that's the fun of it." Daniel chuckled.

"Hey!" I squinted my eyes at him.

Daniel just laughed at me.

"Hey, can I join?" Zach asked before hugging both Daniel and I.

"Uh Zach? As much as I appreciate your hugs, now is not the time." I struggled to get out since Zach was crushing me.

"Why?" Zach bugged me.

"BECAUSE I'M STUCK BETWEEN TWO SWEATY BOYS!" I yelled.

Daniel and Zach laughed.

"Okay, Zach." Daniel said making Zach get off.

"Aww." Zach whined.

"Maybe later, Zach. When you're not just coming off stage and being all sweaty around me?" I told Zach as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"What about Daniel, huh?" Zach argued.

"What about him?" My attention was on Daniel and I examined his features but I was still in a conversation with Zach.

"Oh. Doesn't mater." Zach growled causing me to laugh.

"Come on, Zach." Jack pulled his bandmate away.

I watched the sweat fall from Daniel's forehead. He tried to ignore it but couldn't which made me laugh. He removed one hand from my waist to wipe the sweat away.

"How about you clean yourself up?" I suggested to Daniel.

"Alright." Daniel sighed and removed his hands from my waist and I removed my arms from his neck.

"Hey, Daniel, catch." Corbyn threw a small white towel at Daniel to wipe his sweat off his body.

Daniel caught the towel just in time before letting it drop to the ground. I took a step back watching the boys clean themselves up before hanging with their fans which would be happening in a few minutes.

"Ah, what's the point? We're gonna be dancing and getting sweaty anyway." Zach threw his towel on the ground before Jack picked it up.

"Jack, you're too nice. You should've let him pick it up himself." I raised my voice in Jack's direction so he could hear me.

"Next time, I'll let him pick it up. But thanks, Sam." Jack smiled at me with Zach's sweaty towel in his hand.

"Boys, you're meeting fans with limelight tickets in a moment." Someone announced.

"What's a 'limelight ticket'?" I asked Daniel who came over to me after putting his sweaty towel with the rest of the dirty ones. 

"Limelights are what we call our fans. And having the limelight ticket means they get to spend time with us after the show." Daniel explained. 

"Ohh." I understood what he meant. 

"Yeah and I guess that moment is up." Daniel replied as he watched Jack and Zach leave the green room. 

I turned my head to see Jonah walk out and girls screamed seconds later meaning that Jonah was in sight of the fans. 

"Oh. Well, you have fun and I'll be here with Christina." I looked over to see her and Corbyn laughing about something. 

"It'll only be an hour or something. Just text me if you're bored and I'll try to answer." Daniel kissed my cheek before running off to his fans. 

Seconds after his disappearance, screams were heard from the crowd of girls waiting for all 5 boys to meet with them. The fans must've realised Corbyn wasn't out yet because they started chanting his name which got louder and louder by the second. I looked over to see Corbyn hugging Christina before he ran out to the fans. 

"Intuition." Christina said as she appeared next to me. 

"What about it?" I asked her.

"I think I have it." She smirked at me.

"Ohh-kayy." I said not believing her.

"My intuition is that you and Daniel will make an excellent couple." She explained to me.

"Is that so?" I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Yep." She popped the 'p' in 'yep'.

"Do you really think so?" I was now desperate for an answer.

"Oh yeah. Corbyn and I keep talking about you two. It's obvious. Especially when the both of you look at each other like 'please date me'." Christina showed me her puppy dog eyes when she said the last part. 

"You really think it's that obvious?" I was now sitting down on a spare chair near the exit. 

"100%. Daniel likes you. You like him. What more could go wrong?" Christina sat beside me. 

"Sam! I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend for five minutes!" Jack burst through the doors of the green room. 

"Why?" I stood up and so did Christina. 

"Because some fans asked if I was single and I said no. They thought I was dating Aspen but I said I'm dating you and you're here so now I have to prove to those fans that I am dating you." Jack rambled on. 

"Fine. But you owe me one, Jack." I agreed. 

He grabbed my hand and pulled me out the doors of the green room. Jack stopped in front of a black curtain. 

"Just do what they ask. Call me 'babe'. Hold my hand and smile." Jack added before he pulled the curtain open. 

Everyone gasped and went silent. Everyone was staring at me standing next to Jack. I looked around the room to see if I could find Daniel. He was standing next to the stage with a group of girls. His eyes widened and I just slightly shrugged at him. 

"Come on, babe." Jack took my hand and led me to a group of girls.

People began talking again and doing whatever they were doing before I walked in. 

"Girls, this is Sam. Christina's best friend and my girlfriend." Jack nervously smiled at the fans. 

Oh, Jack Avery. What have you done?
