Dance To Art // D.S.

21_its almost over

"this is my hometown!" Daniel says

"This is Daniel's hometown" Jack repeats

"and home state" Jonah says, walking past me into the hotel.

"Race you!" Zach shouts and runs Jack following right behind him.

"You're not coming?" Jack turns around and I shake my head so he continues up the stairs while Zach took the elevator.

Corbyn and Jonah are waiting for the next elevator. Daniel went to go check the vending machines and I decided to go to the pool. I'm not in swimwear and I don't plan on swimming but I just want to go.

I checked the indoor pool which had a few people. I go out and over to the outdoor area. There's two people in the large pool and an older lady on the lounge chair. I walk over to the hot tub and lifted up my over sized sweatshirt as I sit at the edge and let my legs relax in the hot water.

My phone is charging in my hotel room. I stare at the steam that hovers over the water. Allowing myself in my thoughts.

"What if I just get in?" I whisper to myself "what am I doing this summer?" I question "dance obviously, I could work on music but I can do that in the time period before they go on tour again" I sigh

"It was nice tagging along" I smile "but I'd rather stay home" I fiddle with my fingers "it's almost over" I breathe out and look up around noticing two new people on the lounge chairs. "Another month would be dope" I laugh and then yawn "wow, me without redbull is boring"

"At least they get a break" I laugh "I'm coming up with new choreography, is what the boys said" I shake my head slightly "is it because the tour is almost over or are they making up stuff so I have a reason to go on summer tour" I mumble "dang but am I tired" I speak in a yawn, laugh a bit and then shake my head.

"What's so funny?" Daniel smiles sitting down next to me. Gosh, I probably look crazy laughing to myself.

"that I'm tired at like 3pm" I laugh

"no redbull I'm guessing" he softly chuckles "so what're doing out here?"

"you know" I breathe out "just me and my thoughts" I finish my sentence

"What're you thinking about?" He asks taking his gaze from the water to me. I do the same action before rethinking.

"summer" I whisper

"look, if you don't want to go. We get it and-"

"It's not that I don't want to go" I cut him off, holding my left hand up "I'm just not the best at coming up with a conclusion to big decisions" I sigh and rest my hand down, which naturally falls to Daniel's thigh. I didn't realize until then how close we were. Slowly I move my hand back to my lap, fiddling with my fingers once again.

"Um, that makes sense on why Tristan said you'll have a bad impression about tour when we first met" Daniel says

"Yeah and I'm surprised I said yes to going on this tour, like really surprised. You guys are cool and all but I have no idea what was going through my mind" I laugh

"Maybe nothing was, maybe your heart spoke before your brain could rethink" he says and turns his head to me again, which I do the same.

"But why?" I whisper

"Maybe something knew it would've been a great idea" he speaks softly "maybe something knew you and Jack would be best friends" he laughs and looks at the water again, once again I naturally do the same thing.

"maybe" I whisper "or the opposite, maybe an opportunity opened up at the studio and someone even better than me comes and I won't be able to bug Tristan because I'm kicked off the agency and I won't be able to talk to Mariah and then I might need to move som-"

"Y/n" he cuts me off from my ramble "I'm more than positive Tristan wouldn't replace you, the small amount of time I've known him. It's obvious that he won't let you go and he really does see potential in you, more than just dance" he explains "and I agree" he looks at me, and I look at him.

"How do you know all of this, advice?" I ask and let out a soft laugh

"Well I don't know, you're just easy to talk to" he smiles "and with you and Tristan, Jon talks about how much he checks up on you" he laughs softly "don't tell anyone I told you, but Tristan is texting Jon because he doesn't want you to know he actually cares or he doesn't want to practically give you another way to tease him"

"He doesn't really like that cheesy stuff, he always somewhat avoids it" I laugh "and I won't tell anyone, yet. When the time comes I'm using that reason" I smile and look up at the sky, closing my eyes.

"so blackmail?" He laughs

"No" I turn my head to him "okay kinda" I agree with him "so back to me being easy to talk to"

He softly laughs "what about it? You're just really easy to talk to" he repeats "the conversation always flows with you"

"Well that's nice to hear, and thanks I guess" I smile "you're also easy to talk to" I pull my left leg out of the water tucking it under my right and my knee getting gently placed into Daniel. "I'm glad I went on tour with you guys"

"and I'm glad you decided to not only help us with choreography and back stage, but to stick around us boys"

"Yeah, all of those are pretty easy" I laugh "did you know?" I face him taking a glance at his features; eyes, to nose, to mouth, back to nose, and then eyes. "I-um" woah "forgot what I was um going to say"

"That's fine that happens to me a lot" he says, but it never happens to me. Unless for some reason I'm really nervous or just completely shocked. Nervous? There's no way I'm shocked. I could just be flustered, but confused from what?

Oh boy, I'm in my thoughts a lot today.
