Unexpected // Why Don't We

Chapter 41

Taylor's pov

After I got off the phone with Hayden, I felt like I was about to start crying. I ran out from backstage and down the hallway. Justin had just turned a corner and was walking towards me. I started to jog passed him.

"Taylor, are you okay?" he tried to grab my arm, but I shook him off.

I ran to the bathroom and locked the door. I cried for a minute or two before there was a knock on the door.

"Taylor," I heard Justin's voice.

"Yeah?" I tried asking without sounding like I had been crying.

"I know you're not okay," he sighed. "Just open the door so we can talk about it."

I wiped my tears away before unlocking the bathroom door. Justin quickly opened the door and pulled me into the hallway before hugging me. I hugged him back tightly.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"I... I miss Hayden... so much," I could barely even get the words out of my mouth.

"It's okay. Everything is going to be okay," he rubbed my back.

"I've never been away from her for this long. It is killing me," I whispered.

"Shh. You're okay. You're fine. She isn't here right now, so I'm here for you until you can see her again," Justin tried to calm me down.

I pulled out of the hug, and Justin wiped the tears off of my face. He placed his hands on my shoulders.

"Better?" he asked.

"For now," I said softly.

"I'm going to do everything I can to make sure you are happy. No matter what," he told me.

I nodded before he pulled me in for another hug.

Hayden's pov

"Hayden," Daniel tried to calm me down.

I could tell I was making him upset. He really liked Taylor. He missed her so much, and I was probably making it worse.

"I'm happy for her, but it's so much to handle," I cried.

"I know, but everything is going to be okay. I promise," Daniel told me.

My phone started ringing, so Daniel let go for me to get my phone. I recognized the number, but it wasn't in my contacts. I accepted the call.

"This is Hayden, Taylor's best friend, right?" I heard Justin's voice.

"How did you get my number?" I asked.

"Taylor gave it to me in case there was an emergency," he replied.

"Oh, okay," I said.

"Listen, Taylor misses you. A lot. I don't know if she is going to be able to continue dancing on this tour if you aren't with her," he explained.

"What are you saying?" I questioned.

"I'm asking if you will come on tour with us. Taylor needs the support," he said. "Come to the show on June 11th in Winnipeg. You can start there. That will give you time to pack."

"Does Taylor know about this?" I asked.

"No. It's a surprise," he told me.

"Nice," I smiled to myself.

"Save my number in case you need it," he said. "Anyway. I'm glad we have this planned."

"Me too," I agreed.

"Well, I have to go before someone hears me, so I'll talk to you later," he hung up.

"Who was that?" Daniel raised an eyebrow.

"Justin," I said in disbelief. "He wants me to go on tour with them because Taylor needs me."

"Are you serious?!" he gasped.

"Yes! He said I need to be at the show in Winnipeg on June 11th," I smiled.

"What about Germany?" he asked.

"Oh," my smile faded. "I guess I'm going to have to call and tell them I can't go."

"I'll leave you to it," he said before walking out of my room.

I dialed the number, and the lady answered on the first ring. I explained everything that was going on. I really hoped that she'd understand.

"We can always postpone it until you are ready to go," she said nicely.

"Thank you so much," I let out a sigh of relief.

"Any time," she said.

I hung up before running back to the living room and jumping around. I was so happy.

"Someone's happy," Eben smiled.

"Did you tell them about Taylor?" I looked at Daniel.

He shook his head.

"Basically, Justin called and wants me to go on tour with them because Taylor needs me. Then I remembered my trip to Germany. I called the organization, and they said that they can postpone the trip," I blurted.

"That's amazing!" Jonah jumped up.

All the guys jumped up, and I hugged Jonah. I was just so happy. I was going to see Taylor soon, and that was all that mattered to me.

"Wait..." Corbyn said.

Everyone looked at him.

"That means that you won't be here either. We would have to go back to L.A.," he pointed out.

"Will you please go to the show with me? Taylor would love to see you guys there, too," I slightly smiled.

"Of course!" Zach said.

"Great!" I beamed.

Jack didn't seem too happy, but that's just what he's been like ever since he saw Seth. He's been so jealous, and honestly it was getting old.

"I'm just kinda bummed that we won't see you for a while," Eben frowned.

"Yeah, me too," Corbyn pouted.

"I probably won't stay for every show. I might fly out to L.A. for a while. I know they have a few shows in L.A. as well, so you will see me and Taylor then," I told them.

"Promise you'll come back," Eben looked me in the eyes.

"I promise," I smiled.
