The First Text (A Why Don't We Fanfiction)

CHAPTER 29

{I'm really not enjoying writing this book anymore because it's been going on for far too long and I've lost my writing inspiration for it, I hope you guys can forgive me for it being so shitty. But I still wanted to update because I need to finish it. So, try and enjoy this chapter, I guess?)

Turns out, that girl knew me from Twitter. She wasn't mean at all. In fact, she complimented me and asked for a picture because I was 'Zach's girlfriend and I support you'. How sweet!

Even though, I'm not his girlfriend...

Her name was Helen and she was so lovely.

As soon as we go from the park only a couple rides later, I conclude it was an eventful day, to say the least...

THE EVENING

Now's the time. The time to go home. To leave LA.

I can't believe it. It's happening now.

I want to both cry but squeal in excitement.

As the time comes for the actual departure, a sadness hits me real quick and my depressing thoughs make me almost cry.

"Thank you so much for being such an awesome friend. You deserve this break. I'll keep in touch!" Corbyn says first, embracing me in a hug.

The others guys are looking at me with sadness in their eyes.

"Awh El, I love you, you're so kind and precious. Never stop supporting us! See you soon!" Jonah aproaches me next and hugs me.

"Sorry for things between us. No hard feelings right? Bye El!" Jack says awkwardly, but hugs me with passion and kindness.

Bur before walking to Daniel, I have to ask him something.

"Jack. Are you and Zach okay? As in...you're both really close and stuff, right?" I ask, looking into his eyes.

He smiles.

"We may have had a fight but we're fine. I promise El. I love him like a brother."

And although they were awkward around each other, there's warmth in in his smile and I can sense they made up. Thank god!

I nod as a gesture and move o to Daniel.

"I don't want you to leave but it's for the best! I love ya Eli, please see us again soon!" Daniels says and hugs me too. He winks at me when I walk towards Zach.

Zach grabs my hands and smile. I vowed to be a free woman. To not forgive him for what he made me feel.

But...I can't help it. I think...I love him?

"Thanks so much for an awesome time. I'll miss you." I say first, when we finally hug.

"I'll miss you too. I'm so sorry for being a dick. And it's fine if things won't happen between us but...I love you Eli." he whispers in my ear, making it tickle.

I open my eyes in shock. I'm about to admit too, when finally
"I-I-"

David calls me.

Shit. I rejected Zach, without meaning to.

I was about to confess too but David has dragged me away.

"The rumours of you and Zach are circulating, it's getting attention and it distracted what happened before, so that's good. Now, I need you to not share any details about it and just carry on as normal when you go back home. I'll look forward to seeing you soon, despite you being troublesome...thank you Eli." he says and offers his hand.

I smile painfully and shake his hand.

I look back at the guys. They're waving at me and looking sad.

I will miss those boys, despite myself...

Zach is looking at me with wet and painful eyes.

Oops...

As soon as my gate is called, I re-think back to our time. This hasn't been good for me mentally. Like, at all.

So, I text my friends and Mum I'd be back tomorrow and I publicly apoplogise on Twitter and Instagram, after gaining a lot of followers for the rumour.

"y'all have seen leaked pictures of me hanging out with the guys and me at their house and i want to say sorry. for not telling anyone and for being ia and distant. i never meant to hurt anyone and i'm truly sorry. i'm deleting my media until i feel better mentally and i've looked after myself. it's been a blast for those of you that still like me, i'm grateful for you. if anyone needs me, ask around for my number bc i just cba. see ya!"

I have to do one last thing. Apologise to the guys and tell them too.

I decide to text the groupchat, instead of individually.

"hey guys. so as the hate has been getting out of hand and i'm not used to this much attention, i'm deleting my apps for a while. until this is all seen over and my mental state gets better. i'm so sorry for causing any trouble, i really truly am. pls don't worry about me though, i'm just gonna focus on myself and getting better. ty SM for the best time of my life!!! it was such a pleasure and i will forver love you guys SO SO MUCH. peace out for now, if y'all really need me then just ask zach for my number. otherwise don't bother bc i won't be keeping my apps. peace out <3"

After logging off, my finger hovers over the shaking apps, with the cross but I take a deep breath and delete them all.
