Unexpected // Why Don't We

Chapter 48

Hayden's pov

We got to the hotel and checked in. There were three rooms. One for me and Taylor once she got here. One for Daniel, Jack, and Zach. One for Corbyn and Jonah. We got our room keys, and Zach and Jack raced to the elevator. Corbyn, Daniel, Jonah, and I took our time. Zach and Jack went up to the third floor while we waited for the elevator to come back down. The four of us piled in the elevator. It wasn't that bad since we all only had one suitcase. The elevator door opened, and the door to Zach, Jack, and Daniel's room was wide open. We all laughed as we saw Jack and Zach fighting for who got the bed closest to the window.

"What are we gonna do with you two?" I shook my head and laughed.

Jack and Zach stopped fighting and looked at all of us. Everyone laughed. All of our rooms were right next to each other. I opened the door to my room and set my stuff down. I kicked off my slides and hopped on the bed before turning on the tv. I didn't even have a chance to change the channel before there was a knock at the door. I groaned and got up to open the door.

"What do you want, Zach?" I narrowed my eyes at him.

"The guys want to know if you want to hang out in my room," he said.

"I guess," I shrugged before turning the tv off and putting my slides back on.

I grabbed my phone and walked into Zach's room since the door was wide open. He was sitting on the bed closest to the bathroom. The other guys were on the other bed except for Corbyn, who was in the other room still. I mouthed "shhh" to the guys so they wouldn't say anything. I jumped on the bed, tackling Zach. I was laying on top of him, and he wrapped his arm around my waist.

"I could get used to this," he looked into my eyes.

"Nope. You ruined it," I shook my head and tried to get off, but he pulled me back down.

"Haha. Jokes on you," Zach laughed.

"Nooo. Help meeeee," I whined.

"Okay, okay, Zach," Jack finally spoke up. "Let the girl go."

Zach let go, and we both sat up. I fixed my hair as Corbyn walked into the room.

"Did I miss anything?" he asked as he sat on the bed next to me.

"Nope," I smiled.

"Cool," he said.

"Guys!" I yelled.

"Shhh! We're in a hotel!" Zach whisper-yelled.

I narrowed my eyes at him.

"What is it?" Jack asked.

"Taylor is going to be here tomorrow!" I jumped up excitedly.

"You've said it forty-two times in the past hour. I think we know," Corbyn added.

"Ah, thanks for letting me know," I nodded. "Still doesn't change the fact like I'm super excited for her to be here."

"Hayden, you're freaking me out," Daniel sighed.

"Daniel, man up," I walked up and punched his chest gently. "Everything is gonna be fine. Chill out."

"I just want everything to go as planned," he told me.

"I understand, but you have to chill out some," I explained.

"Okay, okay. I trust you just because you're her best friend," he nodded.

"Ugh you're so adorable. Y'all are going to be such a cute couple. I've shipped it since y'all met," I squealed and sat back on the bed.

"You know who I ship?" Zach asked.

"Who?" all the guys asked.

Zach put his arm around me, but I slapped it off.

"Zach, how many times do I have to tell you that this is illegal?" I asked.

"Only if you have sex," Corbyn added.

"Corbyn," I glared at him. "Not helping."

"Why won't you just accept it?" Zach asked.

"Because you're seventeen," I told him.

"So?" he shrugged.

"Ughhh!" I fell back on the bed, giving up.

"She probably likes someone that's why," Daniel gasped.

"No, I don't," I said, still laying down.

"Yes you do," Corbyn looked at me.

"Who?" I asked him.

"Me," he answered.

"HA! You're funny," I blurted.

"Ouch. That had to hurt," Zach said.

"I have a girlfriend. Why would it hurt?" Corbyn laughed.

"Oh, right," Zach laughed.

"Tell us who you like!" Daniel somewhat yelled.

"No!" I somewhat yelled back.

"So she does like someone," Jack joined in.

"What?! I didn't even say that!" I covered my face even though they couldn't see it anyway because I was laying down.

"She's blushing!" Corbyn yelled.

"No, I'm not!" I laughed.

For the rest of the day, we basically just messed around in the room since we had nothing better to do. We didn't feel like leaving the hotel, so we just chilled and goofed off like we usually did. My phone started to ring. Everyone went silent and stared at me.

"It's just Justin. Calm down," I gave them a confused look.

I clicked accept and put the phone up to my ear.

"Hey, Hayden," I hears Justin's voice.

"Hey, Justin. What's up?" I asked.

"Just making sure you made it to the hotel," he said.

"We did. What time do you think y'all are going to arrive here?" I questioned.

"Late in the afternoon. It will probably be sunset. It's a long flight," he answered.

"Makes sense. Text me when you're on your way to the hotel, okay?" I asked.

"Of course," he said. "See you then."

"Sounds good. Bye," I hung up.

All the guys were staring at me.

"What?" I gave them a confused look again.

"We were trying to hear what he was saying," Corbyn said.

"Y'all are so extra," I shook my head and laughed.

"Ew, never say that again," Jonah laughed.

"Okay, I won't," I said.
