Unexpected // Why Don't We

Chapter 15

Taylor's pov

I rolled over, but I hit something. My eyes fluttered open to see Daniel sleeping peacefully next to me. He was so cute. I smiled to myself as he rolled over and was facing me. He slowly opened his eyes.

"Why are you smiling?" he asked in his morning voice.

"No reason," I laughed.

I sat up and hopped out of bed.

"It's too cold," Daniel whined. "You should warm me up."

I looked over at him, and he had his arms open, signaling me to come back to him. I smiled and walked over to him. He wrapped his arms around my torso and pulled me on top of his as he laid back down.

"Daniel," I laughed. "I have to get ready for dance."

"Fine," he said, letting me go.

I got back up and went to my closet. I dug out a white t-shirt and some black Nike pros to go with it. I went to the bathroom to change while Daniel was looking at his phone. I also did my eyebrows and slapped on some mascara. There was no use in putting on any other makeup if I was just going to sweat it off. I walked out of the bathroom, and Daniel appeared in front of me.

"Holy-" I jumped back. "Daniel! Don't do that!"

"I'm sorry," he said as he hugged me.

"It's okay," I laughed. I slipped on some socks and my black Nike's.

I went back into the bathroom and put my hair in two french braids. I walked back out of the bathroom, and Daniel was sitting on the bed.

"Come on. I'm going to get breakfast," I said.

We both walked out of my room, and so many things were happening. Zach was talking very loud, to no one in particular, with a mouthful of cereal. Corbyn and Jack were yelling over Zach's talking. Jonah was in the kitchen helping Hayden cook something. Then Eben was trying to tell Zach to be quiet, but Zach got even louder. Daniel and I just laughed and walked into the kitchen.

Hayden's pov

I turned my head and saw Daniel and Taylor walk into the kitchen.

"Oh, hey," I said to them. "Where have y'all been all morning?"

"We were just in my room," Taylor answered.

"What are you guys making?" Daniel asked.

"Waffles," Jonah told him.

"Yeah. I thought I should make you guys a goodbye breakfast. I woke up early, so I'd have enough time to make them for everyone," I explained.

"Wasn't Zach just eating a bowl of cereal?" Taylor asked and pointed to the living room.

"Yeah, but he is weird about food. He can eat breakfast, and then ten minutes later he is ready for lunch," Daniel said.

"Sounds like me," Taylor laughed.

Jonah and I finished up the waffles, and everyone ran to the kitchen. Everyone got a plate with two waffles on it. They got whatever else they needed as well. We all sat around the island and talked while we ate breakfast.

"Are y'all excited to go back on tour?" I asked them.

"Yes and no," Jonah shrugged.

"Why both?" Taylor asked.

"Don't get me wrong, I love touring. Meeting fans and performing is amazing. It's just very busy, and we're always doing something. There's barely any time to just chill," Corbyn explained.

"I get it. That makes sense," I nodded.

"Plus, we want to stay here with you two," Daniel added.

"Yeah, that, too," Jack laughed.

"I agree," Zach said with a mouthful.

"You really need to learn how to speak without food in your mouth," Eben told him.

"Sorry," Zach laughed.

We all finished eating, and Jonah helped me with the dishes once again.

"You really don't have to help me," I told him.

"No, it's okay. I want to," he said.

We finished the dishes, and I went back to my room. I brushed my teeth and touched up on my makeup. I was already wearing my clothes for work, so I was all set. I grabbed my phone and walked back to the living room.

"I'm leaving. I need to get to the humane society," I announced.

"We'll be back soon. I promise," Eben said as he hugged me.

Then Zach hugged me. Then Corbyn. Then Daniel. Then Jack. Finally, Jonah. I held onto Jonah a while longer. The hug was so short, and I wished it wasn't.

"Goodbye, Hayden," Jonah whispered as we pulled out of the hug.

"Bye," I whispered back.

I walked to the front door and opened it before grabbing my keys.

"Bye, guys!" I told them all.

"Bye!" they all said back.

Taylor's pov

I walked out of my room after brushing my teeth, and the guys were all standing around. Hayden had already left, and I could tell the guys were starting to get upset.

"Please be back soon," I pouted as I hugged Corbyn first.

"We will. I promise," Corbyn said.

I then hugged Eben. Then Jonah. Then Jack. Then Zach. Of course, I saved Daniel for last. He wrapped his arms around me. Neither of us wanted to let go.

"Soon?" I asked.

"Soon," he whispered.

We pulled out of the hug, and they walked out of the door before me. I got in my car as they got in their bus that had randomly appeared in the front of my house. I watched as the bus left before pulling out of the driveway and going to the dance studio.
