The Insecurity (Jack Avery x Reader)

Chapter 9// Hotel Vibes

Everyone was back at the hotel and Y/N came and stayed in our suite with Zach. Jonah said he got a text from Corbyn so he went to their suite. I didn't realize Zach and Y/N had come back so early but I felt the tension in the room and just all the negative vibes so there must've been a reason. Y/N looked up and saw me and I kind of froze in place.

I didn't know what to do she was just staring at me but it wasn't long until she spoke, "Hey, Jack." She said with a sad smile. "Hi," I greeted back. "Is everything okay?" I asked her. I looked at Zach who gave me an angry look. However, I don't think he was mad at me. "I'll be okay, Jack. But I don't think Daniel will be."

My mind had lost its connection or something because I just heard Y/N say that she got in a fight with Daniel? Is this who Zach is angry at? I was about to ask more questions but before my curiosity got the best of me I felt my phone buzz.

It was a text from Jonah in our group chat:

Jo: Band meeting Corb's and Daniel's suite. Y/N, you're coming too.

I looked from my phone at Y/N and Zach who both knew that this really wasn't a good idea as well. But we had no choice. We all left our suite to go to Corbyn's and Daniel's suite and once we got there everyone had a stoic expression. It made me a little bit uncomfortable considering I don't know what happened.

We all sat down in the main area, Y/N on a single sofa; Corbyn and Daniel on the larger sofa, Zach sitting on the floor, and Jonah standing up near the kitchen. I had nowhere else to sit beside except next to Zach so I sat with him.

Everyone was so silent. Normally there would be humming or Corbyn making jokes and laughter but there was nothing. Nothing at all until Jonah cleared his throat to speak, "So, anyone going to tell me what happened?" I looked at Y/N who was right across from me. She seemed like she really didn't want to be here talking about this. She ran her fingers in her hair as her chest visibly raised.

Then I looked at Daniel who also didn't want to be here. He had his head hanging back against the back of the sofa and his leg bouncing up and down. Again, no one said a thing.

"Does no one know what happened? Corbyn, tell them what you told me." Jonah said, in his passive-aggressive voice. Corbyn nodded his head and spoke up, "Well I told Jonah that Y/N and Daniel got into an argument. I don't know exactly what happened but I saw Y/N yell at Daniel about touching her."

"Do I really have to be here? Like I get it, it's my fault. But I don't want to sit here contemplating about how this is my fault." Y/N spoke up. Her voice almost sounded shaky but not too shaky where everyone could tell she was breaking.

Jonah looked at Y/N, "Y/N. It isn't just your fault. It's Daniel's too—" "Yeah if all we're gonna do is pin blames I want out too. Why do we even have to talk about this?" Daniel added sitting up straight to look at Jonah. Jonah have him a stoic stare and Daniel leaned back in the sofa again.

"Guys, we are talking about this because we all haven't been honest with each other lately. We need to be honest right here, right now." Jonah raised his voice a little. It scared me I have to admit.

Daniel chuckled with a frustrated tone in his voice, "Fine, want me to be honest? I know that I am not the first person you met in the band, Y/N." Y/N sat up straight and looked at Daniel. He raised his eyebrows, "You know the funny part, I was waiting to see if you would tell me but I guess trust doesn't last very long, does it?"

We all just stood there speechless not knowing what to say. Y/N just sat there frozen trying to make words but nothing produces. Daniel scoffs and gets up from the couch.

Jonah walked towards Daniel to calm him, though he did seem pretty calm already.

"I'd like to go, Jonah. I don't want to be here. Especially with people who aren't necessarily on my side right now."

Jonah was about to stop Daniel but before he could, Daniel slammed the door.

The room became silent again and Y/N is in slight tears. Y/N runs out of the room as well. Jonah called out to her too and she also left. Jonah let out a sigh as he ran his fingers through his chestnut hair. Corbyn looked at Zach and me, "You guys are free to go. I'm going to stay with Jonah a bit."

Once Zach and I reached our suite, I decided I wanted to go for a swim to think over what had just happened. Zach wanted to walk around the Lobby by himself so we split in our own ways.
