Please Don't Forget Me...
Chapter 16

(Daniels POV)
"I'll call David." Jack said.
I nodded as he stepped out of the room.
Jonah sat down at the piano and started playing '8 Letters.' He cleared his throat before singing. "You know me the best, you know my worst see me hurt but you don't judge, that right there is the, scariest feeling."
"Thats suits your voice so well!" I exclaimed, as his fingers moved up and down the keyboard. Zach shuffled over to Jonah, looking over his shoulder at the lyrics Jack had written down on the sheet of music. "I've said those words before but it was a lie, and you deserve to hear them a thousand times." He chimed in.
Jonah and Zach smiled at each other before the piano went silent. "This is going to be a banger." Corbyn said, millyrocking in the corner. I laughed a little before all of our phones started blowing up. It was like nothing I've ever seen before. Dinging noises were repeating over and over again. The whole room was flooded with the sounds coming from our phones. Zach, Corbyn, Jonah and I all stared at each other, confused expressions on our faces.
I slowly reached down into my right pant pocket, that's my phone was located. When I pulled it out, the back of my phone was facing me. I flipped it through the air, and it landed right side up, the screen illuminating my face.
There was hundreds of Instagram notifications, displaying that I had been tagged in photos, or mentioned in comments. I was getting twitter notifications every half a second, making it almost impossible to read a single tweet. Before I unlocked my phone, two tweets caught my eye. One said 'IS IT TRUE?' and another said 'WHAT ABOUT JACK?' My heart and stomach dropped all the way down to the core of the earth. I felt my heart rate rise, my head thumping. I typed in my passcode and clicked on the Twitter app. The first thing that popped up was a photo. "Oh my god." Zach whispered.
"No, she wouldn't, she wouldn't." Corbyn stuttered. "This has to be fake. Anyone can photo shop these days." Jonah said, in denial.
My eyes were frozen on the image. It was Sammy, but not only her. A good looking guy was holding her hand. The background was blurry, so to everyone else, they wouldn't know where she was, but I knew. It was taken at an airport. I had no idea who the guy was, I'd never seen him before in my life, and why would she be holding his hand. This doesn't make any sense. The reason she left was because she was pregnant, not because she was seeing another guy. I needed to call her—
"Oh no." I said, the word 'call' triggering a thought. I turned my head to the direction of the door. It was open and Jack was pacing up and down the hallway, smiling whilst holding his phone to his ear. He was still on the phone with David, our manager.
"He hasn't seen it yet." Zach whispered, and I turned my head back towards the guys.
"And he's not going to, not just yet."
I said, a panicked tone in my voice. The guys gave me a weird look. I knew they thought I was crazy. "He'll be crushed." I reassured them. "Daniel there is no way you can keep this from him." Jonah whispered, trying not to catch Jacks attention. "Yes yes I know, but we can try. Let him have his moment of happiness with these songs, and then, once he's stable enough, we can show him." I pleaded.
I could hear Jacks conversation slowly coming to an end. "You're playing with fire Daniel, but I agree, he's already been thought enough these past 24 hours, he doesn't need anymore heartache." Corbyn agreed. Zach and Jonah looked at each other before giving up. "Fine, but if his blows up in our faces, it's on you." Jonah said harshly, pointing at me.
I nodded, meaning I would take the blame.
"So what's the plan?" Zach asked.
"All we need is his phone." I replied.
"Then what? He's going to ask for it back." Corbyn stated. "Just don't give it to him, we'll— we'll ask him to play the songs again, that will distract him." I said. In my mind, I knew this was a terrible idea. The only reason I didn't want Jack to see this, is because I wanted to talk to Sammy and find out the truth. I knew she wasn't dating this mystery guy, but that's what Jack would assume, and then things would turn ugly.
"Alright, thankyou so much David—" Jack said, his voice growing closer and closer.
"Quick he's coming, just grab his phone if you're the closest to him." I whispered fast. They all nodded just as Jack walked in.
"Okay, thankyou again, bye!" He said excitedly, ending the call. A smile spread across his face as he stood next to me. "David said that he'll book us into the studio tomorrow!"
"Wow that's fast!" Corbyn said, the biggest fake smile on his face. Just then, Jacks phone started blowing up. I stared at Zach wide eyed.
"Uhh, Jack! I need to show you something!" he yelled, quickly approaching Jack, putting his arm around his shoulder, turning him around. "Oh uh, I'll take that for you—" I said, taking his phone from his hand. "It's nearly flat, I'll put it on charge for you."
"What? No Daniel—" Jack started before Zach interrupted. "Oh don't worry about him, I really need to show you this— Uhh— thing I created." Zach stuttered, walking Jack down the hallway. "No, what, guys stop!" Jack yelled, removing Zachs arm that was around him.
"Daniel give me back my phone!" He yelled, turning around, staring me in the eyes.
I hid the phone behind my back.
"What phone? I don't have a phone, what even is a phone—" I laughed, my eyes darting everywhere except Jack.
"Daniel!" Jack yelled, he was starting to get angry. "That's me." I smiled.
"Give me back my phone!" He yelled once again. "I told you I don't have your phone." I nervously laughed. "Daniel just give it to him, he's going to find out anyways." Jonah whispered. "Find out what?" Jack asked.
"Nothing, Jonah what are you talking about." I said, giving Jonah a death stare.
"FIND OUT WHAT?" Jack almost screamed.
At this point, I had given up. My face filled with defeat and I held out Jacks phone.
He walked up to me, his face red and scrunched up. As he ripped the phone out of my hand, I leant back against the wall and closed my eyes for a second. We all stared at Jack as he typed in his passcode. I saw his thumb tap on something and we waited a few seconds before he found out. His face dropped and his eyes instantly filled with tears. He looked like he was going to collapse. He moved over to the wall and side his body down it.
"Are you fucking kidding me?........"
