About That Boy

Chap 1

Love. It's like a war. Whether you win or lose it. It's all depends on your decision.

"Dad." I said to myself. The thought of him leaving us with the tragic accident really haunting me. I missed him every single day and I never thought I'd be like this. "Sis. Hello?"

That's my brother. Henry. He always disturb me. "What?"

"You know that guy that you're going to have a date with?" He asked. "Nope. Why do I have to know?" I said, annoyed. "Oh okay."

He left me and close the door. I wear the dress my mum gave me during last summer and put some make up on. I'm pretty nervous since this is my first time having the date that my family decide. "Let's go." I smiled at mum as she starts the engine.

As we arrived, she take my hand and put on hers. "Goodluck honey." She said. My age is 19 but I don't mind because it's just a date. I walk into the restaurant and a waiter leads the way to the table. He's not here yet. "What? He isn't here yet?"

I feel kinda irritated but just try to stay calm and sit on my place. I start to put my earphones on and message that unknown guy but he doesn't reply. "Gosh.... 15 minutes?" While I was busy with my phone, then someone close my eyes. "Who's this?" I said.

The hands that cover my eyes just now finally gone. I opened my eyes and a guy with a tux sitting in front of me. I look at him and he looks at me. It's like a staring contest. "I'm sorry. I'm late." He said. "It's okay."

He just smiled and order the food for us. "How did you know that I like lasagna?" I asked. "Just guessing." He said and again smiling. "Fine."

"You're cute." I said. He looked up from the menu and now again the staring contest begin. "Thanks. " His blue eyes just so damn pretty. "So your name?" He asked. "Hayley. Hayley Smith ." I said. "Such a pretty name. I'm Daniel. Daniel Seavey. "

"Oh okay. I guess that's all I wanna know bout you right now." I said. The butterflies though. "So, you know that we'll be together as couple for 3 years?" He asked. "Yeah. I heard you've got a gf so yeah I know my limit. " I said. I start to feel kinda sad but the fuck why am I like this?

"Good you know it. We've been together since 17 so I hope you won't be the reason why it ended." He said. I start to think why I date him while he got a gf? What is mum try to do?

"Okay. It won't be happened. Trust me." I said confidently. While we're eating there are 4 boys approaching us and one of them is holding a guitar. "You guys got paid?" I asked. "Nope. Sponsor. " Jack said. "So, tonight, I'm going to sing a song for you." Daniel said as he get up from the seat and get the guitar from one of em. They start to sing and I start to melt. Their voices just so smooth. "You like it?" Jonah asked. "Yeah."

They leave us and again the awkward date with him. "Daniel." I said. "Yes?"

"If you've got a gf why are we have to date each other? I can see how loyal you're and I don't wanna be third wheeling or whatever it's ." I said. "I don't know. We talk to each other anonymously and it's all plan. I didn't text you by accident. And if you wanna know why we have to do this, I'll show you later. "

I nodded. We finally leave the restaurant and now we're heading to a mansion. "Your house?" I asked. "Not really. "

We get into the mansion and the boys are there. "Well they're my brothers and we live here together. And the reason I take you here is because I want you to meet my girlfriend. " He said. I dont why does it makes my heart ache but I'm gonna stay cool. "Hey babe. "

I look at her. She's so gorgeous. "Well, Hayley, meet Amy. " He said. "Hello, Hayley. " she greeted. "Hello." I said. "So let's have a tour in this house." He show me all of the things in the big mansion and still I dont get it why. "What are you try to say?" I said. He stopped for a second and walked into my direction. I'm currently leaning at the wall and he looked into my eyes. But I'm avoiding him. "You must know why. You know that we're rich and got everything. Thats why your mum said yes to let you date me. I know your mum doesnt really like you. From now on, you're my girl which only both of us know the truth behind everything. If you start to think of liking me, you better stop the feeling. " He left me and went downstairs. I can't help but cry. How was an angelic face can become a devil without I see it coming. "Fuck you." I said. He turned back and smirked. "I deserved that anyway ."

I left the mansion alone eventhough it's 10 pm. "Shit. It's so cold."

"Where is that girl?" Jonah asked. "Upstairs " Daniel said. "She's not here." Zach said. "She suppose to stay here." Daniel said. "I'll try to search for her." Jonah said and leave em. "I'll come with you!" Corbyn said. "Why everybody are like this? Gosh. Just leave that damn girl."

"You better calm,bro. And she's your girlfriend now. I prefer you to be with her instead of that amy." Jack said and left him alone. "It's me who supposed to do that, not you."

"You've changed a lot, Mr seavey!"

"Fuck." I said and wait at the bus stop. No one is here. The dead silence street makes me even more sad as I think bout what had happened. "HAYLEY!" I looked up and searched the voice of the guy. "Jonah?" I said. He smiled and the boys are with him except jack and daniel. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "Searching for you. It's late. You better go home now." He hold my wrist and lead me to his car. "Wait. Jonah. I don't wanna go home. I mean yeah I've got a problem with my mum lately. And if she knows this date didnt worked out I'm dead." I said. "Really? Awe that's bad. Oh yeah, why don't you go to the hotel? We'll pay for you then." He said. "God that's too much. "

"Of course we want you to stay with us at home but you know daniel." Corbyn said. "Yeah... I get it." I said. "Okay. Why don't you stay at our home but without daniel knowing bout it? Like sneak into this one room. We have a room that's empty. I mean that's a guest room." He said. "I'm.... okay. " I said.

As we got home he help me to go to the room by using the ladder. "If u need anything just tell us. We'll explain to Daniel later!" Corbyn said. I nodded and smiled. This is totally the craziest thing I've ever done. I lock the door and sleep time!

It's 3am and I'm awake. "SHE'S HERE? OMG JONAH." I know it's Daniel. "Yeah. She's got a family problem so why dont we help her? She needs us." He said. "Yeah. Yeah." I can hear the other three of em agreed with it. I decide to go downstairs, to see what's happening. "Well hey Hayley!" They said except daniel. "Hey." I said. "Well I am sorry for sneaking into the house and I didn't mean to do this. Especially to Daniel. I know you hate me and never liked me. I'm so sorry. And I never thought you'd be like the same guy. You seem nice but yeah nevermind. I'll leave this place now. I'm sorry." I said.

"Hayley. No. You better stay eventhough you wanna leave. But, it's not safe out there alone by yourself." Daniel said. The butterflies starts again. "You.... sure?" I asked. "Yeah. " Again with that cute smiled. "Thanks!" I said and hug him. "Omg! That's cute!" Jack said. "My poor heart. Aww." Zach said. "Shut up guys!"

"Okay. I'm sorry." I finally let him go.

"It's fine. I don't mind of how long you wanna hug me." He said again. Why is he like this? "You're not drunk don't you?" I asked. "I'm not. I'm sorry for being cold and harsh but thats not me. Can I hug you again?" He said. "Dude."

"Yeah that's our Daniel!!" Jonah said. "Sure. Bear." I said. "Kiss her. Kiss her." They said, and chanted. "No guys!" I said. "Hayley, he didn't even have a gf. That Amy was just 'another' girl. I mean friends but more than that." Jack said. "You lied to me,Daniel?"

"I admit I like her but after I know her. She's just like that girl that choose money instead of love. I guess, I found my sweetheart now." He winked. "Cute. Just cute. I'm done, guys!" Corbyn said and go to the kitchen. "You've got Christina,bean!" Jonah said and
follow him to the kitchen.
