       Thursday July 18th

I wake up in the backseat of my car from the sound of a large truck honking at me. I fly up and look out of the car. Last night I drove for 6 hours and stopped here. I don't have a clue of where I am. Slowly I get out of the car and take a deep breathe. My phone got 3%. All the text messages from Daniel and the boys are covering my screen, reloading all the time as more appear.

Mudboy:
Please Presley. Come back home. I'll stay away from you but please I need to know you're safe.
Noodles:
Presley, you're scaring us all. Please call us. We need to know that you're ok.
Jojo:
Pres. We need you here. Daniels devastated, Please I beg you.

Several other texts from them and Zach and Corbyn pop up on my screen. My phone rings and Zach's user pops up on my screen. I reach to press the red button but accidentally press the Green without noticing.
"Just kill me already." I say to myself. I hear mumbling and look around not knowing what it is.
"Presley. Please come home!" I hear a voice say. I look down at my phone and see that the call is on going.
"Shit." I say and pick the phone up to my ear. Zach is talking.
"Please Pres.." He says. I take a deep breathe.

"You can stop texting me... I'm not coming back." I say and I hear Zach's voice shake.
"Is it because of Daniel? What even happened?" He asks me. I slam my head into the steering wheel a bit harder then I wanted to. A little metal thing is sticking out on it and I cut my forehead up.
"Fudge!" I say.
"What happened?" Zach asks me. I sigh and hang up.

I put my phone down and start the engine. My phone buzz but I ignore it. As fast as I can I drive to the nearest hospital. I park the car and put a cloth over my cut and walk into the hospital. The nurse helps me into a room and I lay down on the hospital bed. She sow the small stitches and I sit up.
"No you have to rest. You're pulse is low and your body is weak. You need to get some rest." She says and I decide not to argue. I fall back onto the bed and quickly fall asleep.

—————

I wake up in the hospital bed and slowly open my eyes. The clock on the wall is ticking loudly. 6:34 PM. WHAT! I'VE BEEN SLEEPING FOR 9 HOURS! I fly up from the bed and get on my feet. Everything starts to spin and I fall back into the bed. Ok maybe I shouldn't stand up that quickly.

I slowly stand up and turn around. I see 5 figures standing or sitting on the other side of my bed. As I get eye contact with the tall blonde one I sigh and shake my head. Daniel is sleeping in the chair next to the bed, Jonah is sleeping while leaning up against the chair. Corbyn and Jack are awake and standing up. They smile at me nicely and I turn around and sit down on the bed. I hear Corbyn mumble something and I hear Jonah clearing his throat. My head falls into my hands.

"Presley?" I hear Jonah say. I slowly shake my head and I hear Daniel moving in his chair.
"How did you find me?" I ask them and lift my head out of my hands.
"The nurse called us... you got Daniels number on emergency and they said your pulse was low and you hadn't eaten anything in about 3 days." Corbyn says. I chuckle and stand up. I grab my jacket and turn to them. Daniel is sitting there silent looking at me like a lost puppy. I look him into the eyes and look away again.

"They made a mistake calling you, you came all this way for nothing." I say and swallow heavily.
"For Nothing?" Daniel finally speaks. I look at him again and he stands up.
"Can you stop talking about yourself as you're worth nothing?" He asks me and takes a step closer to me. I stand still and look into his deep blue eyes.
"But I am not wor-" I start but Daniel cuts me off.
"Just stop. You're coming back with us whether you like it or not. Zach is talking with a guy who's going to drive your car back home." Daniel says and grabs my hand.

"You're better off without me. Your whole reputation will get ruined if they found out you kissed me." I say and rip my hand out of his.
"You kissed her?" Jack asks him surprised.
"See, even Jack thinks it absurd." I say and take a step back. Daniel looks at me sad and confused.
"That was the reason you left?" He asks me. I look down at my hands and then up at Daniel. I storm out past them and they all follow me. Zach sees me when I get out to the lobby and follows us.

"What's happening?" I hear him asking the others.
"I'm going to drive as far away from you as possible. And you'll go back and live the lives you did before I came to LA." I say and walk out of the hospital door. I stop at my car and pick my keys up. Daniel stops a couple feet behind me. I can still hear his deep breathing tho.
"But my life before you came to LA was boring and lifeless..." Daniel says. I sigh before unlocking the door.
"When I saw you... my heart stopped. When you first walked out of the bathroom... I knew I would love you. And I still do." He says and I hear him take a step towards me.

I unlock the door as a tear falls down my cheek.
"You'll have to find someone new... I'll ruin your career." I say and open the car door.
"Then ruin my career... I don't want to sing if it means I can't be with you!" He says. I stop and feel a tear fall down my cheek. I drop the keys and quickly turn around. As fast as I can I walk up to Daniel and grab his face. I push our lips together and kiss him deeply. It lasts for a few seconds before I give out. He smiles as I let go of his face.

"But you have to choose music.." I say and turn around starting to walk away.
