Ella // Why Dont We {COMPLETED}

S E V E N

I wasn't sure where the boys were going, but I guess I just didn't feel like it today. Me and Daniel only got back three days ago which meant I generally needed another day to get back into my daily routine. I wondered around the house for a while, every now and then making yet another cup of coffee in attempt to keep myself awake. It was only about nine in the evening, but I expected the boys to get back a lot later and I had planned to stay awake, I didn't like falling asleep alone, Daniel knew that. I guess you could say that I was the child of the group. Daniel, Corbyn and Jonah were all now 19. Jack was 18 and Zach had just turned 17. Making me the youngest at 16 and three quarters - yes, three quarters makes a difference. Not many people liked our relationship, I started dating Daniel when I was only 15 and Daniel was 18. Okay, now I think about it... it's weird. But hey, I've never been one to play by the rules. Besides, if you love someone as much as I love Daniel, nothing could really stop me. Plus, if it wasn't meant to be, I'm pretty sure we would've broken up by now.. but no. I guess he's too perfect.

I looked over at the clock and it was now coming up to eleven. I felt my body start to shut down and I knew I wasn't far off going to sleep. I rested my head on the arm of the couch and curled up pulling a blanket over me.

Daniel's POV ~~~~~~~

I felt bad for what I did to Ella. I guess I just had spent the last week with her... and I guess I just wanted to spend time with the boys. I was kinda glad when she said she didn't want to come. But saying that in my head made me feel worse, that was so mean.

The boys and I arrived at the movie theatre and we walked in to watch the movie. Yes, I did miss the boys. A lot actually. We spoke about a lot of things until a particular subject came up.

"So... what did you guys do while we were away?" I asked, expecting an answer.

Corbyn sighed. "Seriously bro?"

"Yes. I'd like to know."

The boys all exchanged glances before turning back to face me.

"Maybe we should sit down..." Jonah said gesturing to the couch.

Woah. This must be serious, I thought. The boys sat me down and I felt like a teenager to be honest. Like I was getting ready to have "the talk" with my parents. It was weird.

Jack then broke the silence. " We don't think she is right for you Daniel."

I looked up. I'm sorry, what? They did not just go there.

Zach then spoke. " We were planning to break you guys up..."

I looked at them. I looked them all straight in the eyes.

Jonah scratched the back of his head feeling the tension in the moment.

"Don't take it the wrong way Daniel... we just want what is best for you.." he said.

"I.. I don't understand. You like Ella..." I said looking around at all of them.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. But somehow I wasn't mad. Why wasn't I mad? Maybe they were right? No. No they weren't right. I love Ella.. I do.

"We are only...you know... nice to her because we don't want to crush you. But I guess you need to know how we feel about her.." Jack said.

I put my head in my hands. I needed time to think. Maybe they were right. It was horrible. Really horrible.

We walked into the movie and watched it although I was restless throughout most of it. I was just thinking about how this was going to work. If I was going to break up with her... which I wasn't sure about yet, then I had to do it properly and hopefully not break her heart too much.

Once the movie had finished I walked straight out not talking at all. I could hear the boys following me so I just kept walking. I got into the car and they all piled in after me, Jonah was driving. The car ride home was silent... and not the good kind.
