/Part 33\

"So we went out to dinner that night after shooting. There was nothing wrong with it. Two co-stars hair getting food. Until he spilled the beans."

Chloe cracked her knuckles.

"He said 'I talked to your mom yesterday' a-and He said 'but I didn't tell her where you were.' So I was okay. Until I asked what he wanted from me. And he said 'Another chance.' And I said 'No.' and he said 'Give me another chance and be happy with me or I tell you parents everything. Everything about your little boy band friends, where you are, what your doing. All of it' and I was terrified. So I let him. I let him do whatever he wanted to me. Because I was so terrified of my parents. I haven't slept since that day. I've just been so scared I would do something wrong and he would tell my parents everything."

Chloe was crying a lot by now. Daniel pulled her into him and she cried on his shoulder.

"He's already told my parents. And I know it. I've blocked his number but I know he know i went back to you guys. He's going to try and get in touch with all of you probably and then so are my parents. And if they do I'm sorry."

Everyone was watching Chloe. Waiting for her to say something else, but she never did. Jonah finally spoke up.

"Why did you try to tell one of us ?"

Chloe shrugged.
"I was scared."

Jonah nodded.

"I get it."

Christina reached out and put her hand on Chloe's.
"I've only knew you a few hours but I feel like I've know you my whole life. Your such a wonderful person, Chloe. I know you had a shit childhood. But all of us here..." Christina looked around at everyone, "Were all family. And your a  part of it."

"Yeah. And if that Tristan dude comes after you I will personally fight him." Tate said.

Chloe laughed and Tate smiled.

Chloe looked around sat everyone and tried to read their expressions as they all talked. Daniel was silent, but she couldn't read him. Corbyn was holding Christina in his arms and looked a little lost for words, Witch was strange for him. Jonah had Tate's head in his lap and was smiling at her, Tate was frowning at him playfully. Jack looked completely out of place, but was trying to fake a face for Gabbie, who was smiling. Zach was talking but his eyes looked like he was upset.

Chloe glanced back at Daniel, and when she did he turned his head to look at her. They watched each other for a moment, before Chloe said 'I'm so sorry'

Daniel shook his head.
"You don't need to apologize, love. It's okay."

"But you look upset."

"I am. I am very upset. But not with you."

Chloe nodded her head, then laid it over on Daniels Shoulder. He laid his head on top of hers and stared blankly into space.

•••

Chloe hadn't noticed everyone leave. Neither had Daniel. Zach finally came up to them and shook both of them.

"It's one o'clock. You guy need to go to sleep."

Zach leaned over and kissed Chloe on the forehead. "I love you best friend."

Chloe smiled at him.
"I love you too."

Daniel coughed loudly and Chloe slapped the back of his head.

"Owwww." He whined.

Chloe stood up and shrugged.
"I gotta change."

Chloe went to change, and tried her best to be quiet. So that she could listen to Daniel and Zach's conversation.

"Bro, you've gotta chill with her." Daniel had said.

"I'm sorry. Sometimes I just get carried away. And I know how you feel about her. I'll do my best." Zach said.

"It's okay bud."

"Goodnight, I love you." Zach said.

Chloe could almost hear Daniel smile as he said, "I love you too."

Chloe felt like questioning both of them but she was just too tired. It had been a long time since she had slept. When she walked out of the bathroom Daniel was laying shirtless in the bed, scrolling through his phone. He looked up when she dropped her clothes that she changed out of.

Chloe slid into bed next to him and he turned on his side, to where he could watch her.

"Y'all better not even think of trying to make babies while I'm in the bed next to you. I don't want to be an Uncle yet." Zach said.

Chloe smiled.
"Wasn't planning on it, Zach!"

"I mean no but now that you mention it-"

"Daniel James Seavey I will go get the holy water and drown you in it. Do not try me."

Daniel laughed.
"I'm kidding, baby."

Chloe scooter closer to him, and turned on her side to where she could watch his eyes. 

He was awful at hiding things because of his eyes. She could take one look into them and tell exactly how he felt on the inside. People used to say the same thing about her, until she got good at hiding it. Daniel had never been hurt the way she had. He was too pure for this world, but maybe that was why they fit so perfectly.
