Best Friend or Boyfriend? // Why Don't We

Chapter 21

Val's pov

I woke up the next day and took a shower. I threw on a gray t-shirt and black, ripped, skinny jeans. After that, I blow dried my dark brown hair and brushed it out. I straightened it, so it didn't look as messy. I went back to my room and grabbed my camera. I took it into the bathroom and tried to set it up to where it could see me. I hit record.

"Hey, guys! Welcome back to my channel!" I said energetically. "Excuse my bare face. A bunch of you guys requested me to do a video on my everyday makeup routine, so that's what I'm going to be doing today."

I started off the video.

"Oh, yea," I said as I was applying foundation. "I don't really know how to make these videos, so I'm sorry if it's bad."

I got all the way to eyeshadow and realized I hadn't been explaining anything that well and was just talking about random things.

"Sorry, guys," I laughed. "I've just been blabbing the whole time. I need to learn how to make these videos."

I stared explaining what I was doing and all that kind of stuff. Finally, I was done. I did my outro and stopped recording. I would just edit that later tonight so I could upload that later this week. I put my camera back in my room and then walked into the living room. All the guys stared at me.

"Umm..." I laughed nervously. "What's going on?"

"We need to ask you something," Corbyn blurted.

"Okay?" I said more as a question. "What is it?"

They all exchanged looks.

"You know how we are going on tour soon?" Corbyn asked me.

"Yeah," I nodded.

"Do you want to be our opening act?" he asked.

"What?!" I screamed. "For real?!"

"Yes. Seriously," he laughed.

"Yes!" I squealed.

"Great!" he smiled. "We need to go talk to our manager to sort the details out."

"Awesome!" I was freaking out inside.

I hugged all of the guys. I went to Jonah last and kissed him.

"I'm so glad you are going on tour with us," he smiled down at me.

"Me too. Now I don't have to worry about missing you," I hugged him again.

I looked over at Jack, knowing that him and Camry had just started dating.

"Give me one second," I told Jonah.

I walked up to Jack.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" I asked him.

"Yeah," he said.

He followed me out into the porch. I closed the door behind us.

"Does Camry know that you are going on tour next month?" I asked him.

"Not necessarily," he avoided eye contact.

"Jack!" I yelled.

"I know, I know. I need to tell her, but I'm just scared that she'll cut things off," he sighed.

"That's why you need to invite her on tour with us," I smirked.

He looked up at me.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yeah. There's no reason for her to stay here. You're her boyfriend, and I'm her best friend. No one would be here for her to hang out with," I told him.

"When should I ask her?" he asked.

"Now," I answered.

He smiled before leaving.

Camry's pov

I was hanging out at my house when there was a knock on my door. I got up and opened it. It was Jack.

"Hey," I smiled as he walked inside.

I shut the door, and he followed me to sit on the couch.

"I have to tell you something," he said as he looked into my eyes.

"Go ahead," I told him.

"I'm going on tour next month," he blurted. "And Val is going to be our opening act."

My heart dropped. I couldn't say anything. Why didn't he tell me this before? Why hadn't Val mentioned anything about this? I was happy for them, but why did they have to leave so soon? I didn't even get a warning until now.

"But," he said.

I gave him a confused look.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go on tour with us?" he smiled.

"Really?!" I almost screamed.

"Yeah," he nodded. "I can't leave you here."

"Of course!" I squealed and jumped up.

He stood up and laughed. I hugged him. I pulled out of the hug, but he grabbed me by my waist and pulled me close so our bodies were touching again. He smiled before kissing me passionately. When we pulled away, we were both smiling. I hugged him again.

"I'm so glad we are finally together," he whispered in my ear.

"Me too," I whispered.

I couldn't believe I actually said that considering I didn't even know if I wanted to be with him the other day. Now we were officially together. It was crazy to think about. We pulled out of the hug.

"We need to talk about something, though," Jack looked into my hazel eyes.

"What is it?" I asked.

"When do you want to announce that we are dating?" he asked.

"Oh," I looked away.

"It's okay if you are nervous," he grabbed one of my hands. "We don't have to rush into this."

I nodded.

"I just don't want to wait too long," he said. "I mean, take as long as you need. I just don't want it to be five months later and the fans not know."

"I just want to be sure that this is going to last before we say anything," I told him.

"That's fine," he smiled.

"Thanks for understanding," I made eye contact again.

"No problem," he kissed my cheek. "I have to go to a meet with our manager, but I'll see you later."

"Okay," I nodded.

"Bye," he said as he walked to the front door.

"Bye," I smiled as he left.

This was going to be interesting.
