The shell of Who I was//Why Don't We

Chapter 5

Song of the chapter- Taking you by Why Don't We

  After the fair we headed back to the hotel. We had a triple room, so we all had our own beds. Once we all got up Sunday we went downstairs to eat the breakfast they served. There was a huge group of people outside the front doors and a group of boys a check out. From Paislee and Jenna's screams I assumed they were the band we were going to go see. I had never really seen pictures of them or anything I was just going because it made my friends so beyond happy.

  We were supposed to meet them tomorrow at the concert but Jenna ran up to them and asked them to take a picture with all of us, Paislee was dragging me behind because of how incredibly shy I was. We were there for about 10 minutes while the band got checked in and just talked with the boys. The curly haired on was so nice and kept hugging me. I think Paislee said his name was Jack. I eventually excused myself and went back upstairs to my room. We were staying on the same floor as the boys, so I knew J and P would be back up soon. I jumped in the shower and put my curl creme in my hair. I put on a slight bit of makeup and went and called Elien, She didn't answer but I had a few texts from her. "Hey we really need to talk" the text read. "Please Brenn, I don't know if I can do this anymore. Please call me." I was kind of stunned, but wasn't surprised. We hadn't been talking much with everything going on with me. I also wasn't really capable of being in a relationship right now. Elien called back a few minutes later and we talked it out. I loved her, I was sad but this was what would be best for us right now. Especially since I don't know where i'll be leaving soon. She's already two hours away. I told her I loved her for the possibility last time, and we hung up.

  The girls came back to the room and saw me silently crying. "Brenna Jo what's wrong?" Jenna asked. I giggled a little about her using my childhood nickname. "Elien and I decided to break up." I said quietly. I knew it was for the best but I was still sad, we had been together a long time. Paislee and Jenna came up and hugged me. After a while we were all just sitting there laughing.

   We watched a couple movies and then decided to go out to dinner at the cheesecake factory. It was out of our way but most definitely worth it. After we finally got seated we started talking about how we met the boys. We have "limelight" to see them tomorrow, but i'm not sure what that is. Jenna said it was like a meet and greet. I wasn't really really sure how to feel about it. I liked there music but I didn't know much more.

  After dinner we went back to the hotel. Jenna and Paislee decided to go lay down, so I went out the the balcony. I brought my guitar out and sat out there just strumming it a little bit. I wasn't very good, but it was helping me decipher my thoughts. I was lost in my thoughts and didn't realize that I wasn't alone out there. The band was sitting on their balcony a few doors down and listening to me. I looked over and they all sat there in shock. I quickly apologized and went inside. I layed there and my phone went off. "Hey, Cobie. It's your biological mom... I was just texting to make sure we could still meet up in Indianapolis in two days. I have to explain to one of your brothers everything hopefully tomorrow. See you then.. Love, Mom..." The text read. A few seconds later another one sent, "I'm so sorry I forgot you go by Brenn now.." I was so emotional over this. I barely knew this woman, but she was my mom. My real mom. "It's okay, you can call me Cobie. Yes, i'll be there 1 pm in the lobby of the hotel." I replied. After that I went to sleep. I was going to have a long two days. The girls were driving back after the concert and I was supposed to stay with my biological mother, and then make a decision if I wanted to go back to her house with her to stay.

  I woke up to Jenna and Paislee bustling around throwing shoes, outfits were spewed everywhere. I went to the bathroom and jumped in the shower. I started singing, and Paislee came in and started videotaping me singing and posted it on her snapchat story. After I was clean, I got out and let my long hair flow naturally. I then put on a black long sleeve crop top, and some fishnets and some high waisted ripped jeans. I then pulled the top part of my hair into a messy bun and let the rest flow down my back. I put on my black Nike's and did my makeup.       

  When I was ready to go, the girls and I headed out to eat it was 3 pm and Limelight opened at 5 pm. We mentally prepared ourselves for how there would be hundreds of fans outside the hotel. I opened our door and the boys were at the end of the hallway looking out the window. Of course, J and P ran over to them and they were all talking. I walked slowly over there. The blonde one caught my eye this time, he had something familiar about him. Jack walked over and hugged me. "Are you excited to perform tonight?" I asked him. He gave an a million dollar smile, "Definitely, where are you guys headed?" He asked me. I smiled, "Just out to get food somewhere. Why want to join?" I said jokingly and punched his shoulder. What the actual hell was wrong with me. He looked at the other boys, Guys want do get food with these beautiful ladies." Jack asked them all. Oh no. I didn't actually mean for them to go with us. By the looks on J and P's faces I could tell how happy they were so they went with it. "Yeah i'm down" Jonah said. Daniel nodded. "Where to?" Zach asked. "Corbyn are you coming?" Jack asked him. "I have to go meet my mom for the concert to get her in, but another time" Corbyn looked at his phone and headed down stairs. "Okay ladies where to?" Zach asked. "It has to be fast because we have soundcheck soon." Jonah said. Someone screamed Chipotle, and at that we all raced to the elevator. I fell down and the hall and Jack waited and helped me up.

A/N: Shorter chapter than I wanted but I promised to have it out today. Hopefully if I charge my laptop later you might have another chapter! This story isn't edited yet either. Hang on tight though the best isn't even there yet, and it will all connect soon!
Much love,
