Ella // Why Dont We {COMPLETED}

T W E N T Y - T W O

After hours of cleaning and listening to my endless playlist of High School Musical I slumped onto the couch and admired my work. The once messy house was now spotless and how it should be.

It wasn't long before the boys walked in and I giggled as all of their jaws dropped almost in unison.

Daniel walked over and picked me up.

"My Girlfriend is the best. Just putting it out there..." He said.

I took down my messy bun letting my long brown-ginger hair fall to my shoulders and smiled.

The rest of the boys greeted me with a hug and headed straight for the kitchen. Typical.

Daniel hadn't taken his eyes off me for a while, not that I minded, it just wasn't.. normal.

"Daniel??" I waved my hand in front of his eyes.

He blinked suddenly and led his eyes from my lips to my eyes.

"Oh right," he chuckled nervously "sorry.."

"No, it's okay" I smiled.

I looked over at the boys to check that the kitchen was still clean but to my surprise they were just looking at me smiling.

"What??" I asked confused.

"I think, I think Daniel has something to ask you." Jack said.

This sparked a number of thoughts and possibilities. A proposal? A holiday? Something else?

"Yeah.. Uhm, Thanks Jack" Daniel said with slight sarcasm in his voice.

"Daniel, honestly, don't keep me waiting" I giggled.

"Well.. I was wondering if you would join us on tour...."

My heart sank.

Daniel Continued, "Christina is going And you'll get to meet loads of fans and I'm sure everyone is dying to meet yo-"

I cut him off, " Daniel.... I can't, I'm sorry."

"Oh... Okay. That's fine."

"I just have a lot of things to do at home.." I stated. "When do you leave?"

"Tomorrow."

Tomorrow?? Why did he have to leave tomorrow...

"Well... I'll come with you to the airport" I said trying to keep everything on a positive note.

"Yeah, Okay." He smiled but I could tell it was forced.

It was getting late and I decided my body was asking for sleep. The boys had gone to sleep considering they had to be up early for their flight tomorrow. I would have done anything to go with them, but there was so much to do at home and due to them leaving tomorrow, didn't leave enough time for plans to change in any way. I felt bad.. really bad. And I would miss Daniel a lot.. a lot.

I walked upstairs a little deflated and walked into my bedroom. I saw Daniel asleep. And he looked just as good as he did this morning... as always.

I walked over quietly and snuggled up to him resting my head between his chin and shoulder as he pulled me closer.

We fell asleep, breathing almost in sync, and happy in each other's company.
