Daniel's POV

i look out of the window and i just see white puffy things floating in the air. its chilly on the plane too, but then again i feel like I'm always cold nowadays. I'm trying to stay positive and look at the bright side but i can't seem to find one. i flew back this time by myself and i usually hate flying alone but if there were someone with me right now i don't think it would really make a difference. none of the boys know I'm coming back today. i told them i was supposed to fly in next week but i couldn't stand being in my house anymore. too many memories, too many good memories being turned into bad ones just from negative vibe in the air. beth doesn't know either and i can't wait to put my arms around her, at last.

"this is your captain speaking, please prepare the cabin for landing"

i feel the wheels touch the surface of california and i can feel the warm weather even from inside the plane. i walk down the long hallway and grab my bags from custom. I'm home.

i waited for an uber for about 15 minutes. in that time i managed to be bombarded with tens of screaming girls. its not the time for this. they asked for autographs and i love them but i just wanted for all of this and them to go away for just a few seconds. i felt like i was drowning in fans and i just needed a breathe of air. the security guards help me find my way to the car. once I'm in i still have hell to get through. traffic on traffic on traffic...

an hour later and i still see lines and lines of cars backed up along the highway. for the past hour i have been surrounded with noises of cars, honking, people yelling at each other telling each other what to do.

*ding*

i get a text from logan.

*texts*

logan: hey bro, how are you doing?

me: fine i guess.

logan: bro I'm here for you if you ever need to talk. when are you coming home?

me: are you with the boys?

logan: no why?

me: I'm on the way back to the house now, its a surprise.

logan: i won't tell. i gotchuuuu muh boiiiii.

we remain in the traffic for what feels like a lifetime. we eventually pull in the neighborhood and up to the house. i only see jacks car parked in the driveway so i might be only surprising one as of right now. i pay the uber and walk inside.

me: hello?

i don't get a single response.

my first thought was bethany. i run up to her room but she didn't seem to be here at all. i look in zach and corbyns room and even in the basement and garage but no one seems to be here. i take a seat on the couch and think where they could be when i get a text.

*texts*

group chat: MUH BOIS

corbyn: hey jack when are you coming down here?

....

jack: in about 20 minutes, bethany is helping me edit this video.

zach: ight see ya then.

of course, i never looked in jacks room.

Bethany's POV

I hear the door close behind the boys. they left to go and shoot a mashup really quickly, so i have the house to myself.

i suddenly hear the door open once again and i snap my head to see who came back inside.

it was jack.

jack: hey before i leave can you help me edit this video?

i know this is such a bad idea for us to be alone together again but i didn't want to be rude and he has to be somewhere soon so it shouldn't take long, right?

me: yeah of course.

we walk up to his room and i take a seat at his desk and begin to work. i put a few videos together and make it look professional.

jack: wait how did you do that?

he leans over me and points to the screen.

me: well, basically you drag the * starting tool* over the beginning of the video and then you snip it and boom.

i look at him and he looks back at me nodding his head. he then leans in to me very slowly.

me: we shouldn't do this

i whisper to him as i lean in further.

jack: we really shouldn't.

our lips meet and they move in sync as if they were moving to a song. we stand up, jack still kissing me passionately and move over to his bed. we get closer and closer to the bed. i pull away for a moment thinking that i heard someone walk in but jack said he didn't hear anything. he closes the door just to be save and back over to me. i begin to remove my dress leaving me in just a bra and underwear with the rest of my body exposed. he takes his lips off of mine and moves to my neck while he takes off his shirt and puts his body on top of mine. i hear another noise and we stop immediately. i look at him and we kiss again. i soon sit up as he lays his hand on my inner thigh.

jack: everything okay?

me: i just don't know, i can't do this.

jack: we don't have to.

me: i love daniel but at the same time i do have feelings for you.

jack: i understand, i went through something like that not too long ago. listen to your heart. i know it sounds cheesy but it works, and if it ends up telling you to be with daniel and not me. i understand it and we can go back to how it was before.

i kiss him.

me: thank you. i may not know now but until i do lets put this on pause.

jack: i couldn't agree more.

i get up from his bed and over to my dress located on the opposite side of the room when i hear footsteps getting closer and closer. i turn around with my body still showing and i see the love of my life standing in the doorway with tears running down his face.

authors note: for some reason at night i write in a more descriptive way and just better over all. but ayyyyyeeee what do you think should happen next?
