I pace nervously back and forth as the person before me goes onto the stage. Daniel was there the whole time trying to calm your nerves and helped you go through the song. He even helped you learn the piano for it.

"Okay y/n just let loose okay. Don't think about any of us being out there. Not Corbyn, Zach, Jack, or Jonah. Just focus on pressing the right keys," Daniel smiles and gives a thumbs up. Though it doesn't help one bit.

Backstory you and Daniel searched everywhere for Jack's number. Though they couldnt find it anywhere they found his girlfriends and called them it. It was a lot of convincing and finally it happened. Jack got Zach and they flew out from Hawaii for this night. It just had to be perfect.

The last kid finishes and walks off stage setting your nerves at sky high. You were beyond scared. Mostly because you have never performed before.

"Goodluck I will see you after," Daniel gives you a small hug and hands you the microphone.

You walk onto the darkened stage into the spotlight and say your name. Then you walk over the beautiful grand piano you had practiced on just weeks before. Placing the mic in the stand so you place your fingers on the keys.

The wall behind the stage lights up playing a video and thats your que to start. You look out into the darkness noticing the blonde that you love.

"Used to be scared of the ocean. Cause I didn't know how to swim. I took one sip of your potion, now im just diving right in. I heard your sirens call it was beautiful I am drowning but please dont save me. Im in too deep can't touch the bottom with my feet dont know what you did to me. Im in too deep..."

You look at the screen and smile seeing videos and images of the five boys play across the screen. Laughing, smiling, and performing. Something that shouldnt have been lost. A brotherly bond.

You play the last few keys and just sit there breathing for a moment as the video finishes. "1,2,3 WHY DON'T WE!" The five boys run on stage and the room goes black as the video shuts off. The lights come back on and cheers erupt but as your eyes trail the crowd he isn't there anymore.

You quickly get up from the seat you sat in and ran off stage past Daniel. Not saying a word you make your way outside the school. It was late at night but you could still make out Corbyns features in the darkness.

"Corbyn?" You place your hand on his arm but he shakes it off. "Corbyn please don't do this to me," you say and he finally turns around tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Why? Why did you do it? Just please stay away from me this was a mistake. Everything we did was a mistake. I shouldn't have opened to you. Please just leave," Corbyn says and starts walking away but you grab his arm turning him back. Tears cloud your eyes also.

"You don't mean that Corbyn.... please say you don't mean it," your voice cracks at the end and Corbyn pulls his arm out of your grip.

"It's over."

"But I love you," you cry but he doesn't say anything.

The blonde just walks away and you let him. Though he doesn't get far because four boys had followed you and watched everything that happened. You turned on your own heel and started walking down the school parking lot.

You couldn't go back into the school cause you couldn't pass the boys. The only place is home. Which was a fifteen minute walk in the dark. Corbyn didn't even care he just shut down and shut you out. Which made you regret doing what you did.

Corbyn tried to push past the boys but Daniel pushed him away from the door. He was pissed as he looked into Corbyns green eyes which now looked black in the dark.

"You hurt her. How could you. She was the only person who cared about you Corbyn. She just wanted you to be happy," Daniel grimaced and pushed the blonde again.

Corbyn growls pushing Daniel harder. "Do not fucking touch me Daniel or god help me I will-"

You turn around to see the boys fighting and slowly walk back towards them. Confused. Scared that one of them would get hurt.

"You will what Corbyn?" Daniel mocks him on purpose. "You will hit me? You wouldn't dare you still love us and no matter what you say we are still brothers," Daniel says.

Daniel pushes Corbyn again and as Corbyn swings a curly head jumps in front of Daniel. Corbyns fist stings as he quickly pulls it away. You gasp as you run up to the situation.

Corbyn looks at Jack and then at Daniel to you. He sobs and falls to his knees and you get down with him pulling the man into a tight embrace. You comfort him as the others are silent.

"I'm sorry," Corbyn sobs.

"No im sorry Corbs what I did was wrong. I should have accepted what happened instead of pushing you after it happened," Jack says. "I hope we can put that aside us."

Corbyn just holds you tightly and you hold him back with the same force. You put two and two together and learned his past. What had happened with his ex. He said she got pregnant. But he doesn't have a kid.

"Corbyn I only asked them here because I know that this was your dream. You cant just throw it away and be a miserable school teacher," you say and Corbyn chuckles. "Please don't push me away and act like everything is fine."

"I can't do it..."

Corbyn looks up teary eyed at Jack who's nose is bleeding from Corbyn hitting him. He felt bad because he used to be his bestfriend and he cant lie. Daniel was right. They where still his brothers no matter what.

You place your hands over Corbyn,s cheeks making him look into your eyes. Softly you wipe his tears away and lean in pecking his lips.

"Corbyn I'm..."

"Oh my god I knew you where fucking your teacher. Just not the right one," someone says and you automatically pull away frantic as you see Tiffany and her popular friends.

"Tiff it's not what it looks like-"

"No it is what it looks like. You just kissed Mr. Besson! Didn't you say that it was gross?" She says mocking the words you had said before falling in love with Corbyn.

"If you tell anyone I swear."

"You swear what?" She says crossing her arms.

You turn back around and look at Corbyns soft green eyes. Before looking at the other boys your heart broke. You turn back to the man you love.

"Before I was interrupted... Corbyn I love you so much. Now that I'm almost eighteen and it will be legal I want you to go to the dance with me. But there's something you don't know yet and I can't tell you yet-"

"Want me to tell him?" Tiffany asks breaking the silence that fell between the group. "She's-"

Everyone is listening now aware of everything happening.

"She's pregnant!"

Yet it was the truth. And there was no way that she could have known unless she guessed. Daniel gasps and looks to Corbyn who is confused.
