Unexpected // Why Don't We

Chapter 16

Daniel's pov

I really didn't want to leave Taylor again. I was starting to really like her. It was bad because I knew it was going to be hard if we started dating. I'd be on tour and in the studio a lot, so I wouldn't be able to spend that much time with her. I didn't want to hurt her by not having enough time to spend with her. I got on the bus and went straight to my bunk so I could think everything through.

Taylor's pov

As I drove to dance, I was thinking about everything. I really liked Daniel, and it wasn't just because I was a fan. It was more than that. He was such a great guy, and I loved how caring he was towards everyone. We would never be able to be together, though. He would always be on tour, and he is in the studio all the time. I wouldn't be able to handle a long distance relationship, either. They live out in Cali, and Hayden and I are across the country. It would never be able to work out. My heart dropped at the realization we would most likely never be together.

"Oh my god," I whispered to myself.

A few years fell from my eye. I wiped them away as I pulled into the parking lot at my dance studio. I made sure my makeup was okay before going inside.

"Taylorrrr," one of my coaches, Jacob, said.

"Hey, Jacob," I said.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he walked up to me.

"Yeah," I fake smiled. "I'm fine."

"Good because someone wants to meet you," he told me.

"What?" I gave him a confused look.

"Come with me," he started walking towards the main practice room.

He walked in first, and I followed him. I had only taken a few steps in the room before I saw him.

"No way," I laughed. "Stop joking around."

"Taylor!" THE Justin Bieber smiled brightly and held his arms open.

I walked up to him and hugged him. We pulled away and started talking.

"I was wanting to ask you something," Justin started.

"Go ahead," I laughed.

"You're a phenomenal dancer, and I was wondering if you would like to be one of my backup dancers for my world tour?" he asked.

"I... Holy... Are you being serious?" this was too good to be true.

"Yes. I need you as one of my backup dancers," he grabbed one of my hands with both of his hands. "Please?"

"When do you need to know?" I asked.

"Tour starts next month, and you need to learn the choreography," he answered. "At least by the end of this week."

"I could possibly give you an answer by tomorrow," I told him.

"Great," he smiled.

"Thank you, Justin," Jacob told him. "We really appreciate you looking into Taylor and asking for her to go on tour."

"I've been keeping an eye on her for a while, and I'm so glad she might be coming on tour with me," Justin nodded.

Justin turned to me again.

"Seriously, though. If you need to take the rest of the week to think, you can," he reassured me.

"Yeah. It's just that I need to make sure my best friend will be fine staying alone. I'll also need to make sure we have enough money for bills and stuff," I explained.

"If you want her to come along, she can," he told me.

"I will talk to her about it," I smiled.

"Well, Justin, I think it's time for her to get to practice," Jacob interrupted.

"Yes, of course," Justin said. "I'll see you soon."

He hugged me again before leaving.

"Regardless if you end up going or not, you need to start learning the choreo now," Jacob said.

I spent the rest of my day learning the choreo for all of Justin's songs. By the time they let me out for dinner, I was exhausted. It was 6:00 when I got in my jeep. I had an hour and a half to eat, so I just went across the street to Olive Garden. I placed an order for to-go. About 15 minutes later, they brought it out. I got back in my jeep and went back to the studio. I went inside to the break room, where we usually eat for lunch. I sat in there by myself and scrolled through social media as I ate my dinner. Daniel had tweeted.

@SeaveyDaniel: Already missing you.

My heart actually hurt. I decided to tweet.

@tayjax: It hurts missing you.

I didn't have too many followers. Some of my old friends from high school. Some are fans of Why Don't We since I tweet about them. Some are fans of other celebrities that I tweet about as well. I only had around 2k.

"You in here, Taylor?" Jacob asked.

"Yeah," I said. "Finishing up my dinner."

"Whenever you're done, come back in the practice room," he told me.

"Okay," I replied.

I finished eating, and then I went back to learning the choreography for Justin's songs. This was going to take a while.
