Unexpected // Why Don't We

Chapter 55

Hayden's pov

"Sticks and Stones for who has to go first," I scooted to the edge of the bed where everyone else was.

We played until one person finally lost. That one person would be Jack.

"Crap," he said under his breath.

"What are the odds that you'll call Bam Bam, scream, and then hang up," Corbyn laughed. "One, two, three."

"One," Corbyn said.

"Three," Jack said at the same time.

"Should we keep doing Sticks and Stones and whoever loses has to go, or should we all have a turn?" Justin asked.

"Everyone gets a turn," Zach said.

No one disagreed, so we just all took turns.

"Zach, what are the odds that you dangle your phone out of the window for five seconds," Jack smiled innocently.

"Oh my gosh," he shook his head.

"One, two three," Jack counted down.

"Two," they said at the same time.

"I hate you so much," Zach looked at his phone and shook his head.

Jonah got up and opened the window. Zach held his phone out of the window for five seconds without dropping it. He quickly held his phone to his chest and ran back to the bed.

"That gave me so much anxiety," he let out a sigh of relief.

"Stop being over dramatic and pick the next person," I told him.

"Christina, what are the odds that you'll call your mom and tell her that you and Corbyn broke up," he said. "One, two, three."

"Three," Christina said.

"Two," Zach said at the same time.

"Daniel, what are the odds that you'll kiss Taylor," she smirked.

Daniel looked at Taylor, and she shrugged.

"One, two, three," Christina counted down.

"Three," they said at the same time.

Taylor was sitting between Daniel and I, but she was scooted back to where we had to turn to see her. Daniel turned and smiled at her. Taylor couldn't resist, so she smiled back. He leaned in, and they kissed.

"Awww," Christina and I gushed.

"Make it official already," I thought my heart was going to melt because they were so cute together.

They both laughed.

"Hayden, you're the only one without a special someone," Christina pointed out.

"I told her she needs to get a boyfriend," Taylor sighed.

"When have you ever told me that?" I turned to look at her.

"All the time. If you'd listen," she laughed.

"Okay, well-" I started.

"Can we get back to the game?" Zach cut me off.

"I was talking, rat," I glared at him. "This is why I won't date you."

"We were playing a game," Zach shot back.

"I swear," I shook my head.

"Hayden, what are the odds that you kiss Jack," Taylor blurted.

"What?!" I yelled. "It was Daniel's turn!"

"It's okay. I didn't know who I was going to pick anyway," Daniel smirked at me.

I stared at him blankly.

"One," Taylor started counting.

I looked at Jack, and he shrugged.

"Two, three," she finished counting.

"Two," we both said.

I closed my eyes and put on a fake smile because I really hated my life at that moment. That actually just happened.

"Oooooooh!" all the guys said.

"This isn't even how the game works. It was Daniel's turn," I shook my head.

"Shut up and get it over with," Jack laughed.

"I'm not getting up," I protested and folded my arms.

Jack shook his head and laughed as he got up and walked over to me. He was standing right in front of where I was sitting. I looked up at him and unfolded my arms. He leaned over and set his hands on my thighs so he was closer to my height.

"Hey, buddy," I said awkwardly.

He laughed before leaning in and kissed me just how he did the first time he had when we they were playing Truth or Dare.

"Awww, my best friend is growing up," Taylor said.

Jack pulled away and went to sit back down on the other bed like he was previously.

"I'm older than you," I gave Taylor a confused look.

"Yet I've had more boyfriends than you," she shot back.

"Shots fired," Corbyn said trying not to laugh.

"I don't like jumping into relationships so quick," I explained.

"Says the girl who shipped Daniel and Taylor since the first day they met," Zach said.

I heard Justin struggling not to laugh.

"I give up," I shook my head and began to walk towards the door like I was going to leave.

"Noooo. Don't leave. We're sorry," Jonah wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me back towards them.

I sat down next to him, and he still had one arm wrapped around me waist.

"I give up on this game, too," I told him.

"It's okay because it's your turn to embarrass someone," he smiled.

For a second, I forgot that the guys, Taylor, and Christina were in the room. I looked away from Jonah and saw everyone still sitting there. I smirked at them.

"Everyone should be terrified," Taylor said genuinely scared.

"Hey, Justin," I said innocently.

"Crap," he said under his breath.

"What are the odds that you lick the bottom of your shoe," I smiled innocently.

"Ewwww," everyone laughed.

"One, two, three," I counted.

"One," we both said.

Everyone busted out laughing. Justin sat there, very disappointed in himself for picking the same number as me.

"Take your shoe off," I told him.

He gave me a sad stare before taking his shoe off and just looking at it.

"It's not gonna do it itself," I said.

Justin closed his eyes and licked the whole bottom of the shoe very quickly.

"Yuck!" he blurted and threw the shoe on the ground.

Everyone was laughing as Justin ran to the bathroom to rinse his mouth out.

"That was so bad," Jack laughed.

"I'm just glad my turn is over," I said.

"You'd be so dead if it wasn't," Daniel added.
