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

Chapter 33

*the guys had returned back home from their tour*

Mason and I didn't last long. He had to go back to Michigan. We told each other that we would text, but once he had left, I didn't hear from him at all. Val and I were still best friends. Jack and I haven't talked since he cheated on me. I still keep in touch with all the other guys, but the fans wouldn't stop talking about me and Jack. We hadn't mentioned anything to the fans, and they were starting to question us. Val and Daniel had invited me over to the Why Don't We house. I really didn't want to go over there, but they wanted me to get out of my own house. I threw on a teal shirt with "TOKYO" in white letters across the front, and then I put on jean shorts. I put on my usually makeup: foundation, concealer, powder, mascara, and eyebrows. I put in diamonds studs for my first and second piercings. Then I walked back to my room and slipped on my Adidas superstars. Finally, I got in my car and drove to the Why Don't We house. I knocked on the door.

"Hey," Val smiled brightly before hugging me.

"Hey," I told her.

We walked inside, and I saw Daniel and Jonah. I gave Jonah a quick hug before immediately going to Daniel. It was nice to finally see him again since I had flown back from Miami.

"I missed you," I whispered, hugging him tightly.

"I missed you, too," he said back.

We stopped hugging and turned back to Val and Jonah.

"Where's the other guys?" I asked as I looked out the windows and down the hall.

"Corbyn is in his room, and I think Zach is in there as well helping him unpack," she explained.

"Okay. I'm going to go say hi really quick," I told her.

I knew she left out Jack's name on purpose. I walked to Corbyn's room and slightly pushed the door open. Sure enough, Corbyn and Zach were walking around the room putting things away. Zach looked up at me.

"Cam!" he beamed before running up to me and giving me a hug.

"Hey, Zach," I hugged him back.

Then I went to Corbyn and hugged him.

"We missed you a lot," Corbyn said to me.

"I missed you, too," I sighed. "Well, I'm going to go back to the living room. I'll be with Val and Daniel if you want anything."

"Okay. We'll come hang out once we finish," Zach informed me.

I nodded before going back in the hall. I saw Jack standing in the doorway of his room. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I quickly walked passed him and back to the living room.

"I'm back," I announced.

Daniel, Val, and Jonah were all sitting around the living room. Daniel patted the spot next to him. I walked over and sat right next to him. He put his arm around my shoulder, and I leaned into him.

"How was the rest of tour?" I asked them.

"It was amazing," Val answered. "Best experience of my life."

"It would've been better with you, though," Daniel looked down at me.

I put on a fake smile. I really didn't want to hear about any of this. I just wanted to leave this house and get away from Jack.

"Yeah. I wish my best friend was there," Val pouted.

I felt tears threatening to escape.

"Um... I have to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back," I stood up quickly and walked down the hall.

I went into the bathroom and shut the door. I looked into the mirror, and my eyes were red. I closed my eyes and calmed myself down. Once I did that, I walked outside the bathroom. That's when I ran into someone. It was Jack. I was about to walk away, but he stopped me.

"Can we please talk?" he asked.

I had mixed emotions about this. I didn't know what to say.

"Um.." I stuttered. "I... I guess."

I followed him into his room, and he shut the door. He stood a few feet in front of me, and I was very uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry," he said.

I really didn't want to hear that. I didn't care anymore. He hurt me. Daniel and Val were the only ones who kept up with me throughout the rest of the tour after I had left.

"I know I messed up. It was stupid of me to do that because I lost the one thing I didn't know I needed so badly in my life," he continued.

My heart was racing, and I didn't know what to do. I was so nervous. I couldn't forgive him yet. Not now.

"I can't do this," I shook my head before walking out of his room and back to the living room.

Daniel, Jonah, and Val looked up at me.

"Can we please leave?" I asked softly, trying to hold back tears.

They exchanged looks and nodded. Daniel got up and grabbed my hand, intertwining our fingers. I handed Val my car keys. Jonah sat in the passenger seat while Val got in the driver seat. Daniel and I got in the back.

"Are you okay?" he asked me.

"I knew I shouldn't have come to your place," I let a tear fall.

"It's my fault. I just wanted you to get out of your house," he pouted.

"No, it's okay. I understand," I nodded.

We pulled into the mall parking lot. My phone started blowing up with notifications. I closed my eyes and sighed before picking up my phone.
