Defeated (D.J.S)

If only

3rd person POV:

Jazmyn was back at the hospital for the day. Daniel pacing in a corner of the room, drowning in his own thoughts.

Most of his thoughts were filled with the whole blackmailing issue. He had gone to the 'setup' date yesterday. And he hated every second of it. She even made them hold hands. What was even worse, was that he could have sworn he saw paparazzi. Maybe he was just being paranoid, or maybe he was actually right, and soon his face and Jess's would be all over celebrity newspapers.

If that happened he wouldn't know what to do. He was sure the boys and their girlfriends would hate him. They never liked Jess anyway. And Isabel would probably assume the worst too. But he couldn't tell them it was all a lie for the stupid press. He couldn't tell anyone that he was only doing it to protect his friends.

He was also thinking about the fact that their stupid manager was now also making them find another photographer. The boys didn't want to find another because they were still hurt that Kelly could no longer fill that spot. Although she didn't know that she was going to work for them, they did. And that made it ten times harder to find a new photographer.

Jazmyn knew something was wrong, but she didn't want to be pushy. So she just sat there, on the side of the bed, telling Isabel about her day.

Although Isabel showed no signs of waking up, her sister knew that she could hear her. She just had that feeling.

But Jazmyn suddenly stopped talking about her day. She rubbed her eyes, staring intently at Isabel. She could have sworn she just saw Isabel raise her eyebrow.

There! She did it again!

"Isabel? If you can hear me do that twice." Jazmyn said loudly, getting the attention of Daniel, who stopped pacing.

And Isabel did it twice.

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! You can hear me!" Jazmyn shouted excitedly, getting off the bed and jumping up and down.

"No way." Daniel muttered in the corner, running up to Isabel and taking her hand.

"Isabel? It's me, Daniel." Daniel said softly, not really believing that she was coming to.

Isabel didn't respond by raising her eyebrow, and Daniel sighed, thinking that she had gone away again.

But instead, she sofly squeezed his hand with the little energy she had.

Daniel's jaw dropped slightly as he squeezed her hand back.

"S-she's coming back. Jazmyn she's coming back!" He practically yelled. Jazmyn could only laugh in pure joy through her tears.

"How do we get a doctor?!" Jazmyn managed to choke out.

Daniel pressed a little red button on the side of the bed. It was to get the doctors in case of an emergency. And just to be sure, he ran out of the room, yelling for a doctor.

In just a few seconds there were a bunch of nurses in the room and a doctor.

"I'm going to have to ask you two to leave for a little bit. We will update you as she wakes up." One of the nurses said, giving a small smile.

The two just nodded and walked out, hoping the doctors would be able to help her wake up completely.

~Short time skip, brought to you by Jack's dead noodles~

As they sat in the waiting area, the two were nervous-wrecks. Daniel's foot rapidly tapping the ground as Jazmyn sat there biting her nails.

"Daniel James Seavey!" Corbyn burst into the waiting room, the other boys behind him, making the two jump. The receptionist looked up concerned, but quickly went back to her work, not wanting to interfere.

"Hey guys! Did someone call you? Isabel is waking up!" Jazmyn said excitedly. Although Daniel knew why Corbyn was actually there, and why his face looked like he was about to punch someone.

Corbyn stopped himself from screaming at Daniel, and looked at Jazmyn.

"Seriously?" Corbyn said in disbelief, his face going from anger to shock and happiness. Jazmyn just nodded her head up and down quickly, smiling. All the boys made small cheers and hugged Jazmyn. But the happiness soon left as Corbyn realized why he was there in the first place, grabbing Daniel's forearm, and dragging him to the other side of the room.

Jazmyn was utterly confused, so sadly, the boys decided to tell her what they had just seen on the news.

In the other corner, Corbyn's was practically fuming with anger.

"I can't believe you." He spat out. "After everything that has happened you go behind everyone's back and date that little bitch?!"

"Corbyn please." Daniel tried to argue back.

"Don't 'Corbyn please' me. A photo of you and that little rat holding hands is on every single magazine Daniel. I just can't believe you would go that low." Corbyn said, obviously angry.

Daniel didn't say anything. What was he supposed to say? He couldn't tell Corbyn the truth.

"Fine. Don't say anything. But if you're not going to break up with Jess right now, then you need to leave." Corbyn said firmly.

"I can't break up with her." Daniel mumbled, frustrated.

"Alright. Then leave."

"I'm not doing that either. Listen, I care about Isab-"

"No Daniel. You don't care about her. If you did, you wouldn't have done what you did. She's going to be fucking devastated Daniel." Corbyn interrupted.

Corbyn was beyond mad. Isabel was like his sister, so anyone who messed with her was going to mess with him. And even though Daniel was his best friend and also like a brother, he went too far this time.

"Corbyn you don't understand! I don't have a choice!" Daniel argued.

"But you do! You always have a choice. You just made the wrong one."

"You're not actually going to make me leave, are you?" Daniel asked hesitantly.

"Yes. Yes I am. I'm sorry Daniel. But she doesn't need to wake up and find out what you did. Not now." Corbyn said sadly.

And with that Daniel put his head down, slowly starting to walk out. He knew that Corbyn would not let him see Isabel right now. And he didn't want to create a bigger scene than he already had.

As he walked out he glanced over at the other boys and Jazmyn. She was glaring at him. Trying to burn a hole through his face. But she didn't know the whole truth.

Daniel was frustrated and hurt. Frustrated that he had to put up with this whole act and not even get to see Isabel when she woke up. But also hurt, that his best friends were so mad at him.

If only he could tell them. If only they knew. That he was doing this for them.

A/N:

I'm so so sorry it took so long to update!! I'm not entirely sure if I should continue this story... what do y'all think?

Also, I feel bad for Daniel :(

Much love!
