Zach's Pov

The guys and I were hanging out with Alex and it was so much fun hanging out with this little angel. "So Alex, what's your favorite color?" Daniel asked her. "Pink!" Alexis said. "Hey! That's my favorite color too!!!" I said with a big smile on my face. "Yay! We both have the same favorite color!!!" Alexis said as she gave me a hug. "Daniel can i talk to you for a sec?" I asked Daniel. "Yeah sure." Daniel said. "Jack, Corbyn, Jonah, can you please watch Alex while I go talk to Daniel?" I asked. "Sure." they said. We went outside to go talk. "So what'd you wanna talk about?" Daniel asked. "Did Jasmin know Alexis was my daughter?" I asked. "Idk, but I'm going to the airport to pick her up in 2 hours, I'll ask her, but if she knew, she would've told me, she's never lied to me and she's never lied to you." Daniel said. "Yeah, you're right, I think I'll just text her." I said. "Oh ok." Daniel said.

Zach: Hey

Jasmin: Hey

Zach: So I have a serious thing to ask you

Jasmin: Yeah?

Zach: So you know how Camila has a kid right?

Jasmin:... Camila has a kid?

Zach: Yeah, Alexis, but did you know Alexis is also apparently my daughter?

Jasmin: ALEXIS IS YOUR DAUGHTER?!

Zach: Oh, so you didn't know?

Jasmin: NO! I was told that she was Alexis' legal guardian

Zach:....Logan knew that she was her daughter

Jasmin: I mean I understand why he didn't tell me, after all she is his bestfriend

Zach: Yeah, well I just found out about Alexis like 3-4 days ago

Jasmin: Are you ok?

Zach: Yeah, I'm great actually, she's made my life better

Jasmin: Well that's good, but listen I gtg, the plane's about to land.

Zach: I thought you weren't gonna be here for another 2 hours?

Jasmin: Got here earlier than expected please tell Daniel! But bye see ya in a little!

Zach: I will! Bye!

After that I explained the whole thing to Daniel about the conversation, and I almost forgot to tell him that her plane landed early. "Shit, I almost forgot to tell you, she said that her flight landed early so I suggest you get going to the airport like now." I said. "Oh ok, well I should probably leave then so bye." Daniel said as he started leaving. I went back inside to join the guys and Alex. "So, how's everything going here?" I asked. "Good, Alexis was just telling us how her room is literally covered with teddy bear's." Jonah said as he chuckled a bit. "Daddy, where's uncle Daniel?" Alexis asked. "He went to go pick up your auntie Jasmin his fiance, you know who she is right Alex?" I said. "Yeah! She's uncle Logan's little sister! I missed her." Alexis said. "Yeah, we did too, but he'll come back to the house with her in a little bit, ok?" I said. "Ok daddy!" Alexis said with a smile on her face. "Wait, I thought her flight wasn't supposed to land for another 1 or so?" Jack said. "Yeah, but her flight landed early." I said. "Oh ok." Jack said. Next thing you know we hear the front door open. "WE'RE HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!" We all heard Logan yell. "Hey Logan, hey Camila." the guys & I said. "Hi uncle Logan, hi mommy." Alexis said. "Hey you guys, where's Daniel?" Logan asked. "He went to go pick up Jasmin from the airport, her plane landed early." I said. "Wait does she know about the whole Alexis being our kid thing?" Camila asked. "Yeah, I actually explained it to her bc apparently she was told you were just Alexis' 'legal guardian'." I said. "She's not mad at me for lying to her, is she?" Camila asked. "Nahh, she's not mad." I said. "Ok, well can we talk for sec??" Camila asked. "Sure, can you guys watch Alexis real quickly?" I said. "Yeah sure." the guys said. We walked to the back to go talk. "So, what's up?" I asked. "You're fans think we're back together and they know about Alexis now." Camila said. "What? Why?? And how??" I asked. "Bc when we were at Disneyland 2 days ago, fans took pictures of us while we were walking around." Camila said. "Oh lord, well what're we gonna do?" I asked. "Idk, but you should tell your fans about Alexis, but also that we're not back together." Camila said. "We can both tell them." I said as I tried to put my hand in hers as I smiled a little. "Z-zach, what're you doing?" Camila asked. "Why can't we be together?" I asked. "Zach you know why." Camila said. "Actually I don't, because you never gave me a good reason as to why we can't be together." I said sounding a little bit upset. "Because Zach, we just don't work as a couple and you know that." Camila said. "Yes we do, you keep saying that we don't work for each other but that's a lie, I still love you, I have these past 4 years, so tell me, what changed?" I said as my eyes got a little watery. "You wanna know why we can't be together Zach?" Camila asked. "Yes I do." I said. "Because Zach, I don't want you putting your career on hold for me & Alexis, that's why I didn't wanna tell you about her in the first place because I knew you would put your career on hold if I had told you I was pregnant and that's why I ended things. You're career was taking off and I didn't wanna be the one to ruin it." Camila said as her eyes got watery too. "Look at me, you could NEVER ruin it, never, and yes I would've put my career on hold for you and Alexis bc I would've wanted to be there for you and you know that. But when you broke up with me, well it was the worst thing that had ever happened to me, I loved you so much, I still do, I never wanted to lose you and I still don't. There's nothing you could ever do to make me stop loving you." I said as I put her hands in mine. "But see there's the thing Zach, I don't want you to put your career on hold for me and Alexis, I want you to play at arenas for your fans because I know that's what you love doing, and who am I to tell you to put your career on hold?" Camila said as we both started to cry a little. "I care more about you & Alex than my career, I wanna be with you Camila, please." I said as my eyes got even more watery. "Idk Zach." Camila said. At this moment all I wanted to do was kiss her, I wanna be with her still, I want the 3 of us to be a happy family, and yeah I would've put my career on hold for a bit to help out Camila. We just sat there next to the pool for a couple mins in silence. "I love you..." I said trying to break the silence. "...I love you too... but we can't be together." Camila said as she got up and went back inside. I didn't get up, I sat there for a little while longer because I wanted to be alone. Next thing you know Logan comes outside and sits next to me. "Why're you sitting alone?" Logan said trying to break the silence. "Thinking." I said. "About?" Logan asked. "About the shit that just happened between me and Camila." I said. "What happened? Because right after she came back inside she just ran upstairs to her room without saying anything." Logan said. "I told her I still love her." I said. "Is that all?" Logan said. "No, there's more." I said. I explained everything that happened and then Logan told me this. "She still loves you, don't tell her I told you this, but over the past 4 years, she's missed you." Logan said. "I doubt that." I said. "I'm serious dude, she missed seeing you, she missed be around you, she missed being with you, but she didn't wanna jeopardize your career, so she never said anything to you." Logan said. "She could never jeopardize my career." I said. "That's what I told her, but you know how she is, she's stubborn so she chose to believe her own thing." Logan said. "Yeah." I said. "There's still a chance." Logan said. "I doubt it." I said. "There is." Logan said.

Camila's Pov

I ran upstairs to my room after that happened and all I wanted to do was cry because I still love Zach, and yeah ik I can be an ass and say mean shit about him, but I still love him, but I just don't wanna ruin his life. Next thing you know I heard a knock on my door. "Go away Zach." I said. "It's not Zach, it's Corbyn, can I come in?" Corbyn said. "Sure." I said. "What happened?" Corbyn asked. "Some stuff between me and Zach." I said as tears fell down my face. "Can I ask what it was?" Corbyn said. I explained it to Corbyn and he said this. "It's true you know, he does love you." Corbyn said. "Yeah sure." I said. "Still the same Cam, but I'm serious, he does love you, he loves you more than anything. You should've saw him these past 4 years, he was happy bc of performing & stuff but he was sad without you." Corbyn said. "...." ~me. "Why won't you get back with him?" Corbyn asked. "Bc I don't wanna ruin his career." I said. "How about I use an example. So let's say that Christina & I were in yours & Zach's situation. I would've been there for her, I would've stayed by her side no matter what, yes I would've put my career on hold for a bit to help her with the baby. I mean just look at Jasmin & Daniel, they had 2 kids together and he was there through the whole thing.  What I'm basically tryna say here is, he wants you 3 to be a family together, he loves you and you obviously still love him, so what's the thing that's keeping you two apart?" Corbyn said. "Me." I said. "But why tho?" Corbyn asked. "idk, I just don't want me and Alexis to be a burden to him, I don't want us to ruin his life." I said. "Hey, are you even listening to yourself rn? You're saying you don't wanna be a burden or ruin his life, but are you even listening to yourself? This is the same guy who stick by your side through everything, so why would you ever be a burden or ever ruin his life? Trust me, I've known Zach for 5 years, almost 6, and ik him well enough to know that you or Alexis could NEVER ruin his life." Corbyn said. "He's right you know." Zach said as he came into the room. "Zach, why'd you come up here? I asked wiping away my tears. "I wanted to talk." Zach said. "Well, I'm gonna go downstairs and let you guys talk." Corbyn said. Zach closed the door after Corbyn left and sat on the bed next to me so we could talk. "What else is there to talk about?" I asked. "Cam, stop acting like you don't know exactly what I'm gonna say." Zach said. "Fine, Zach, I love you, I love you so much." I said looking him dead in the eyes.

She loves me, yet she doesn't wanna be with me, idk what to do. I didn't know what to do so I just kissed her. "Please, Camila, I wanna be with you..." I said as I broke the kiss. "Zach I-i" she said until I cut her off. "Just one date, and then we'll see how it goes from there, please say yes." I said pulling her closer. "Ok, yes." Camila said. She said yes, I didn't think she would, I'm happy. "Yay!" we both heard someone say from the other side of the door. Camila & I got up and opened the door to see Corbyn who had his ear against the door. "Oh hey you two! I was looking for my uh-uh-uh my........ring! Yeah.... my ring!" Corbyn said. "You smell that?" Camila asked. "No, what?" Corbyn asked. "Bullshit." Camila said as I chuckled. "Why were you eavesdropping?" I asked. "Bc I forgot my phone in there and I wanted to get it back but you guys were talking so, I decided to wait." Corbyn said. "Here." Camila said as she handed Corbyn his phone. "Thanks, and Jasmin's here btw with the twins and with another friend of hers I think we've met her like twice." Corbyn said. The 3 of us went downstairs and omg I missed Jasmin, Alexander and Elena soooo much. "Alexander! Elena!" I yelled as I saw them. "UNCLE ZACH!" Alexander & Elena yelled as they ran up to me and hugged me. "Hey Jasmin!" I said as I gave her a hug. "Hey Zach!" Jasmin as she hugged back. "So I've been told she's actually your daughter and you're not just her guardian?" Jasmin said to Camila. "Yeah about that... sorry I didn't tell you, it's just that you're with Daniel & he's so close with Zach" Camila said "It's ok, I'm not gonna hold a grudge against you, you're like one of my bestfriend's Cam." Jasmin said. "Oh and btw everyone this is Kat, she's my bestfriend from back home, she's visiting for a bit." Jasmin said. Next thing you know Logan came into the room and his & Kat's eyes instantly connected, metaphorically speaking, of course. "Hey, I'm Logan." Logan said as he smiled at her. "Hey, I-i'm Kat. Kat said as she smiled at him. "Do you see a spark too?" I whispered to Camila. "Definitely." Camila whispered back.
