You're Not So Perfect | Corbyn Besson ✔️ (ON HOLD)

Chapter Twevle | Driven Away

I lay on my side facing the wall. Daniel was sitting on the corner of my bed, shirtless. We had been like this for awhile now. No talking, no nothing. It was probably around six am the next day, and I'll admit, I felt like shit.

Both Daniel and I knew that what we had done was wrong. I'm just hoping that Noah and him had officially broken up... although that gives us no reason to do what we did.

"I should probably get out of here," Daniel whispers, cautious not to wake any of the house residents up.

I nod. "That's probably a good idea."

Daniel gets up from my bed and grabs his shirt from the floor before slinging it over his shoulder. I watch him walk towards the door before he suddenly freezes. That's when I heard the familiar voice of my best friend... Noah.

Fuck.

"Daniel?" She asks confused as to why he was in my room shirtless at early hours in the morning.

"Oh, hey Noah," Daniel says.

"What were you doing in there? Shirtless?" She chuckles in a way that made me know that she was trying to cut the tension.

"I was just uh..." Daniel mumbles. Shit, I can't let him fumble.

"He forgot something from yesterday and woke up early so came here," I say walking to the doorway to see Noah wearing her running gear. I know that my lie sounded like complete bullshit, but I couldn't tell her right now. I wanted to wait for a better time. Of course I did t want to tell her, but you gotta own up to shit that you do... even if it's your best friends boyfriend... or ex? I don't even know anymore.

"Forgot what, his shirt?" She says.

"We went in the pool and all my junk was in there like my bathing suit and clothes from yesterday," Daniel says making yet another excuse. She states at us, knowing that something wasn't right.

"I am going to run, see you at the studio?" She suggests. Daniel and I both nod before he walks up to her and kisses her cheek.

"Okay, have fun." He says.

We had decided to take two cars to the studio. Mainly because Daniel's mom was going to join us at the studio to see what it was like when the boys recorded their songs. So the boys were in one car, while Daniel and I were in the other. Once we had pulled onto the highway, I turned to Daniel who was in the drivers seat.

"Fucking hell daniel, what have we done?" I groan. His eyes stay glued to the road ahead of us.

"She's going to find out," He says.

"Yeah I know. I want us to be the ones she finds out from though," I say running my hand though my hair.

"But I mean, you guys broke up, right? Not that it makes it any better.."

Daniel goes quiet and taps his fingers on the steering wheel. "Oh look, I forgot my ring," He says avoiding the question.

"Daniel?" I repeat as he sighs.

"Well technically we aren't broken up..."

I stare at him with my eyes wide. "Are you fucking kidding me?! Please tell me that you guys-"

"No Kelsey! We didn't break up! I was just mad because not only did we argue yesterday, but I heard her and Jonah in the shower yesterday," he says. Omg this was getting to much.

"She could've been brushing her teeth or something Daniel! Noah isn't the person to do that, I know it!"

We were both yelling at each other now. I knew that we weren't angry at each other, but we were angry at ourselves.
