( I MISS YOU, I'M SORRY )

go read chapter eight of anyone else ok? ok.

"WHAT IS TAKING YOU GUYS SO LONG?" Corbyn spoke walking into Daniel's room in his apartment to see Rylan and Daniel looking at Daniel's phone. Corbyn looked at Daniel and immediately noticed the change.

"Dude, your hair is a different color." Corbyn pointed out and Rylan grinned up at him.

"doesn't it look cool?" She questioned and Corbyn playfully shook his head.

"always copying me shake my head." Corbyn 'tsked' and Daniel threw a pillow at him. Rylan furrowed her eyebrows.

"did you just say Shake my head?" She laughed and he nodded.

"So what?" He stuck his tongue out at her before grabbing Rylan's arm and pulling her up. "Let's go, we're already going to be late and we still have to go pick up Katie." Corbyn told her and she pouted.

"since when were you the strict one?" She questioned jokingly before leaving the room. Corbyn stood there with his mouth open in disbelief as he turned around.

"I'm the strict one?! You hate being late! You're the one who wakes me up two hours before we have to be somewhere just so we can get there early!" Corbyn yelled after her, following Rylan out the house and into his car.

"I'm stuck in a car with these two, how fun." Daniel sarcastically stated out loud, shaking his head in disappointment as he left in pursuit of Corbyn's car.

"hey Corbyn, guess what?" Rylan asked, buckling her seatbelt when Daniel got in the car.

"What?" He asked wearily, starting the car. Daniel narrowed his eyes, seriously hoping she wasn't going to say what he thought she was going to. Rylan smirked as she locked eyes with Daniel in the rearview mirror. Corbyn watched the interaction with furrowed eyebrows, before deciding to ignore it and pulling out of the apartment building's parking lot.

"you know how Daniel dyed his hair?" She asked and Corbyn pursed his lips.

"Well yeah, that was the topic of our conversation two seconds ago."

"well he didn't come to see any of us to get an opinion on it. No, he called Venus. She was the first person to see it." Rylan smirked triumphantly, feeling happy that her ship was lowkey sailing. Daniel groaned when she spoke, already knowing that she was going to start up with the him and Venus stuff again.

"Venus, Really?" Corbyn smirked. Corbyn and Rylan were the only ones who knew about everything happening with Quinn and Daniel. And honestly, although Rylan won't admit it out loud, they both wanted Daniel to just break up with Quinn already. Daniel was still reluctant thought, being as he thought that he could still salvage the relationship and bring it back to what it was before.

"I go through this every time I'm stuck with you two, and every time I say the same thing. Venus and I a—" Daniel was interrupted by Rylan, who already knew the rest of what he was going to say by heart.

"Are just friends and you're with Quinn." Rylan babbled, rolling her eyes. "You're not happy with her, just end it and marry V, please." She pouted, turning around to look at him.

"Rylan!" Daniel exclaimed, his face burning up.

"What? It's a valid statement." She shrugged and Corbyn laughed.

"Rylan it might seem simple to you, but to Daniel this whole situation is more complicated than that." Corbyn tried explaining to Rylan who just shook her head.

"Thank you Corbyn!" Daniel glared at Rylan.

"Hey! You're supposed to be on my side." Rylan frowned at Corbyn, who just sighed.

"although, I do think you would be happier if you were with Venus." He admitted, and Daniel's eyes widened.

"Ha! See! It's two against one!" Rylan grinned, pointing at Corbyn as he drove closer to Katie's apartment building.

"Corbyn doesn't count! He's only ever going to side with you!" Daniel argued and Rylan shook her head.

"No excuses Daniel! That's Corbyn's own opinion." She pointed at Corbyn, a smug smile on her face as Corbyn pulled up to the front of the apartment building, Katie already there waiting.

When she noticed Corbyn's car, Katie walked up to it and waited for Corbyn to unlock the doors before getting in. Upon sitting down, she noticed each different expression of the three people in the car. Daniel held an angry pout on his face as he crossed his arms and stared out the window. Rylan sat in the passenger's seat with a smug smile on her face, while Corbyn disappointedly shook his head.

"What did I miss?" Katie questioned with a raised eyebrows and Rylan opened her mouth to respond, but Daniel stopped her before she could.

"Rye, I swear, the conversation is over." He glared once more at her and she just rolled her eyes. Corbyn began driving again as he made his way over to the Santa Monica pier.

"Katie." Rylan continued, even though Daniel specifically told her not to. "What's your opinion on Daniel's girlfriend?" She questioned and Katie raised her eyebrows.

"I can't stand her." Katie rolled her eyes, remembering how much she hated Quinn. It all started because of what Rylan told her about what went down the summer before at Rylan's second song/eight letters release party.

"Wha—" Daniel stopped himself, moving to look at Katie, "Wait really?"

"Yes, really, I seriously can not stand that girl." Katie told him and Daniel furrowed his eyebrows.

"Why not?"

"First, for what she did to Rye last year. She's lucky I wasn't here for that because I would've beat the shit out of her," Katie began listing off, but Corbyn butted in.

"Well Daniel said some shitty things too and you're still friends with him." Corbyn pointed out.

"Well Daniel was being blinded by the crush he had on Rylan, and he just wanted to truth to come out. And besides that, Corbyn you definitely put him back in his place and he apologized." Katie reminded and Corbyn nodded. "Quinn was never pushed back into place and she never apologized." Katie rolled her eyes again, but at the same time Rylan was furrowing her eyebrows.

"Wait Quinn did apologize. When we went to the Bahamas for my birthday." Rylan frowned, remembering that she did.

"Now that Katie reminded me, Quinn didn't really apologize, she just said she felt bad and then you automatically forgave her." Corbyn told her and Rylan bit her lip, thinking back on the time to see if she remembered it that way.

"Oh, wait you're right." Rylan's frown deepened.

"Anyways, back to reasons why I can't stand Quinn." Katie interrupted, "The second reason is that she's both Maeve and Rye's best friend, yet she still allowed Maeve to do the shit she pulled at Gabbie's gender reveal." Katie spoke, pointing to each finger as she said another reason.

"Yeah I can't argue with that one." Daniel pursed his lips.

"Third, she knew you guys, including me but I wasn't there, couldn't stand Maeve, yet she still convinced Randy to get her to come on tour." Katie spoke causing Rylan to nod in agreement.

"She's right, it's not her tour to be pulling things like that." Rylan pointed out.

"And fourth, she's just acts like a bitch and I very much do not like her." Katie finished off.

"Wait Katie I thought there were way more." Corbyn furrowed his eyebrows as he thought back to the time that he had to sit through an entire rant Katie gave him and Rylan about how much she hated Quinn and Maeve.

"There are, but those are the main ones and I'm way too lazy to name the rest." She explained, sitting back in her seat.

"Damn it katie." Daniel groaned and she looked over to him.

"What?" She questioned.

"You're making me not like my own girlfriend." He ran his hand through his hair and Katie narrowed his eyes at her.

"I don't know why she even is still your girlfriend. You're clearly not happy in the relationship." Katie pointed out to him and Rylan's eyes widened.

"I swear I never spoke about this with her." She shot her hands up in defense and Katie furrowed her eyebrows.

"Wait you two think this as well?" Katie asked and Corbyn nodded.

"We've been trying to convince him to break up with her." Corbyn explained, causing Katie to look at Daniel.

"So why won't you break up with her?" Katie questioned Daniel and he just sighed. .

"Because it's more complicated than that." Daniel spoke, furrowing his eyebrows as he heard Rylan say the same thing he was saying at the same time. Although her tone was more mocking as she spoke. "how did you know what I was going to say?"

"Because it's all I've heard for the past few weeks." She reminded him and Daniel just sighed.

"Can we please just drop the conversation?" He asked, just emotionally tired of it already.

"Yeah." Corbyn spoke before the two girls could, moving a hand off the wheel to turn on the radio.

"AHHH my baby!" Rylan yelled with a grin, running over to where gabbie stood with Lavender in her stroller.

"Corbyn she has a bad case of baby fever, hurry it up already." Jordan teased him, slapping his back. Corbyn shoved his younger brother away, his cheeks heating up in a blush.

"Shut up Jordan."

"Jordan stop bothering your brother and his girlfriend." Saskia scolded Jordan, who had been bothering Corbyn and Rylan all day.

"Rylan!" Zach's voice was heard clearly, which caused Rylan to stop playing with the baby and freeze.

"Oh no." She spoke, completely freezing up as everyone stared at her. When she realized Zach was pissed off, she ran around Gabbie and hid behind Jack.

"I'm going to kill you." Zach menacingly spoke, his anger seeping through his words. Rylan tried her best to hold in her laughter as she used Jack as her human shield to protect herself from Zach.

"What are you doing?" Jack spoke, turning around and pulling her in front of him.

"no my shield!" She shrieked and Jack shrugged.

"Sorry bud, you're on your own." He patted her shoulder.

Rylan just glared at Jack before she noticed Zach running towards her, causing her to let out a yelp before running over to where Corbyn stood with Daniel, greeting both their families. She did the only thing she thought would protect herself from Zach's wrath and jumped up, latching herself on Corbyn's back. Corbyn was surprised at the sudden weight that was now on him, causing him to stumble back a few steps.

"You good Rye?" Anna asked her and she shook her head.

"Rylan we talked about this—" Corbyn started when it was revealed that his girlfriend was the one who jumped on his back.

"Not right now! He's gonna kill me!" She spoke with wide eyes, a slight smile on her face none the less.

"Who's gonna kill you?" Keri, Daniel's mom asked. In that moment Zach stomped up to Corbyn and Rylan, causing them to all to look at him.

"him!" Rylan pointed at Zach, who were fuming.

"Rylan what did you do?" Saskia questioned her, causing Rylan opened her mouth in disbelieve.

"What makes you think I did anything?!"

"Maybe the fact that I look like I look LIKE A FUCKING OOMPA LOOMPA!" He yelled and Rylan pursed her lips to hold in her laughter.

"Zach, you don't look like an—" His mom tried reassuring him but when Ashley turned her phone flashlight on so they could all see more clearly, she stopped herself midsentence.

"wha—" Corbyn bit his lip to stop himself, feeling laughter about to erupt.

"Zach." Was all Ashley could say, covering her mouth to contain the laughter. His skin was all blotchy with orange spots.

"what happened?" Zach's younger brother, Ryan, asked.

"ASK RYLAN!" He screeched. Rylan's eyes widened once again, but she stayed latched onto Corbyn's back.

"Rylan." Saskia warned and Rylan straightened her posture.

"I didn't do anything! Zach texted me and Corbyn was distracting me, so I just answered randomly." She tried defending.

"What were you trying to do?" Jonah asked and Zach moved his glare to him.

"Christina threw a self-tanner thing at me and told me to use it because I looked like Casper the ghost. I was bored so I decided to do it, but Christina just disappeared, so I texted rye and asked her since she lived with Christina." Zach stopped to take a breath, so Rylan took the chance to finish the story, correctly.

"Yeah and I wasn't really paying attention so all I told him was to spray hit on him and wait until it tells him to." Rylan tried explaining, "And I guess, he didn't do it right." She bit her cheek after she finished speaking.

"yOU THINK?!" Zach screeched lunging towards Rylan but Katie pushed him back.

"alright buddy, let's go look at the pretty ferris wheel." Katie pulled him away as he mumbled incoherent threats. Once they were at a safe distance Rylan jumped off of Corbyn's back and faced the big group.

"I wasn't thinking." She shrugged, trying to reason.

"what was Corbyn doing that distracted you so much?" Jordan asked, a small smirk evident on his face.

"spraying silly string at me!" She rolled her eyes, still annoyed about it. "He just pulled it out of no where and started spraying it at me!"

"Wha—" Jordan furrowed his eyebrows as he interrupted himself.

"Hah, you really thought!" Daniel laughed.

"Only these two would have a fight over silly string." Gabbie she her head, sighing before walking.

"What do you mean?!" Rylan questioned. "Plenty of people throw silly string at their girlfriend. Oh, wait no they don't." Rylan glared at Corbyn, who just smiled smugly.
