Unexpected // Why Don't We

Chapter 35

Hayden's pov

Once we got home, I plopped down on the couch and pulled my knees up to my chest. I buried my head in my knees. All the guys filed in after me and spread out around the living room.

"Hayden, it's okay," Jonah sat down next to me.

"My best friend just left to go on tour for six months," I cried and looked up at him.

Tears streamed down my face as Jonah's face softened. He gave me a sympathetic look and set a hand on my knee.

"I'm here for you if you ever need anyone to talk to," he told me.

"Thanks, Jonah," I slightly smiled.

"We're all here for you. I know it's hard now, but it will get better," Eben said.

Daniel still hadn't said anything. He couldn't be as upset as me, but I could tell it was close enough.

"Can we just not talk about this?" I sighed and wiped the tears from my face.

"Okay. Next topic. Daniel, what was that back at the airport?" Corbyn asked him.

"What?" Daniel finally spoke.

"That kiss," Jack said.

"I just had to. I couldn't let her leave without doing that," he blushed.

"That was cute. About time," I laughed for the first time since Taylor left.

"For real. I was wondering when you were finally going to make your move," Zach butted in the conversation.

"Everyone here knew you liked her," Corbyn informed him.

"How? The only person I told was Jack," Daniel gave them a confused look.

"Look, bro. It was totally obvious, so we all backed off," Eben told him.

Daniel buried his face in his hands, and I could tell he was blushing even more.

"Trust me, if you didn't like her so much, I would've totally stole your girl," Eben admitted.

Wow. He was kind of a player. He just kissed me last night, and now he is saying this. I cleared my throat and picked at my nails. Eben looked at me.

"How long do we have until you leave?" Jonah asked me.

"Four weeks," I replied.

"It seems like a while, but it's actually really soon," Zach pointed out.

"Ugh. I know. Don't remind me," I sighed.

That just reminded me of how Taylor had just left for tour. I felt tears begin to form again, and I sniffled.

"Hayden, please don't cry," Jonah grabbed my hand and squeezed it.

"What am I supposed to do for the next four weeks? I've never stayed home without her," I looked up at Jonah.

"We're here for you. Whatever you two normally do together, we will do with you," he told me.

"I'm so glad I don't have work tomorrow," I wiped a tear that had fallen. "I would be a serious mess."

"It will get better. I promise," Jonah looked into my eyes.

I looked back at the other guys. I didn't want to do anything for the rest of the day, so we ordered pizza while watching Pretty Little Liars. I cuddled up next to Jonah while we waited for the pizza. It took about 30 minutes for it to arrive, so we had almost finished an episode of Pretty Little Liars before there was a knock on the door. I got up and opened the door.

"Well, looks like we meet again," it the same cute pizza guy that had delivered the last two pizzas.

"I guess so," I quickly glanced at his name tag since I didn't know his name. "Lukas."

"It's Luke," he smiled as he handed me the pizza boxes. "What's your name?"

"Hayden," I answered as I went and set the pizzas in the table while grabbing my wallet. "Keep the change."

"See you the next time you order a pizza," he laughed.

"Thank you," I told him before shutting the door.

The guys and I watched Pretty Little Liars while eating pizza for the rest of the day. I didn't even feel like making dinner, so we just had the left over pizza. Everyone ended up falling asleep in the living room.

Taylor's pov

We didn't arrive in Perth, Australia until 2:00 in the morning US time, which meant it was 2:00 in the afternoon in Australia. I had sat next to Justin on the plane, and he had to wake me up when we were landing. We got off the plane and went to luggage claim. We found out suitcases and waited for our ubers. Justin and I in one. Ava and Bri in another. Cody, Ty, and Andy in the last one.

"I'm so tired," I yawned even though I had slept most of the plane ride.

"Jet lag gets the best of us sometimes," he laughed. "I'm starting to get a killer headache."

"Me too. I'm gonna need some pain killers," I rubbed my head.

The ubers arrived and we loaded everything up to go to the hotel. The drive wasn't that long, so we got there pretty quick. Justin's manager, Dylan, had already checked us in and met us in the lobby.

"The girls will be sharing a room, and the guys will be. Justin, you have a room by yourself," Dylan handed us room keys. "Go catch up on sleep because tomorrow we have a long day."

Ava, Bri, and I went up to our room first. We all got in the elevator with our stuff. Once I got inside the room, I collapsed on the bed.

"I'm going to sleep. Goodnight," I told the girls.

"It's the afternoon," Ava laughed.

"Good morning...?" I asked.

"Sure. Let's go with that," Bri laid on her and Ava's bed.

That's all I heard before I fell asleep.
