Guy's POV
                          
Danielle keeps texting me, asking about Chris. I keep telling her I can't tell her any details about him, but she won't leave me alone. But the thing is, I'm too scared to tell Chris and Jonny of this matter because I feel as if it shouldn't get too big. Maybe she's just curious, y'know? Maybe she feels guilty for being such an asshole. And she absolutely should.
                          
We're currently taking our fifteen minute break from the tour after we performed the big hit, Fix You. Chris and Jonny made up it had seemed, and things were going well. 
                          
Until in walked Danielle from the doorway. With a small baby in her arms. About maybe, one at the most. I'm not sure, but the little girl was so cute. I mean, Danielle could possibly be the mother of the baby, but she was still cute regardless. Thinking not that much of it, I ignored it.
                          
But how suspicious is it that I was thinking about her and she walks in? Kind of weird. She was so shady and didn't care about anyone else but herself. And I find that to be so rude to not only Chris, not only Jonny, but me as well. I thought she knew better. But, I just let it go. Because the rest of the guys have too, I thought.
                          
She walked over to Phil, speaking to him about something. Phil was seeming to enjoy her company, as if she'd done nothing to one of the band members. What was going on?
                          
"Chris. Danielle's here, and she's talking to Phil." I point her out, informing him. I was afraid if there would be a scene to occur.
                          
"I know. She's been contacting me for months. I see her, but I'm trying to ignore her. I'm married now for God sakes. I don't need to worry about her in my life," he says, "she means literally nothing to me."
                          
I nod, and decided to get a refreshing drink of water.
                          
Keeping her in my sights, I walked over to my bass. I was checking it to see if it were in tune enough for the next track, White Shadows. Glancing over at Chris, his hair was a mop. I smirked to myself as he didn't even bother to fix it. It's alright though, because I know the girls out there love it and Jonny does as well. It's so amusing to see though, regardless of whatever I would like to say. I tease him over it every time it gets ridiculously long and curly.
                          
I got my bass exactly how I wanted it to sound, sitting it down on the stand beside me. Out of nowhere, Will came over to me. "We have to get that girl out of here."
                          
"I know—but why do you say so?"
                          
"Because," he said, "I'm not a mind reader but she's here with some very bad news for Chris. She wouldn't just show up from nowhere and take over the sound board. She's not employed with our crew, Guy." 
                          
"How do you know? Maybe she's just here to see the show." I say, and he looked at me as I were ridiculously dumbfounded. I don't know why I said such a stupid thing, but anything other than bad news is what I'm sure everyone wants. I was trying to make the best of this situation as possible.
                          
"Think outside of the box." he hints. I take it into consideration, examining her features. 
                          
I don't know what he's talking about. Her VIP necklace? Her hair up in a ponytail? Her shoes? I was clueless to notice the problem she's brought.
                          
I shrugged my shoulders, shaking my head because I didn't have any idea. He then whispered in my ear, "that's his baby. They had a one night stand and she got pregnant by him. She never got the balls to tell him. She's telling him tonight."
                          
Shocked at this explanation, I didn't understand. "But it's a year old, if not about to be older. Why did she wait so long?" I whispered back, hushing my voice to an extent so Jonny and Chris wouldn't hear. 
                          
"She waiting until she saw things were finally going right for him again. She's a bitch, and she knows what she's doing. I hate to say this, but—she's far from stupid."
                          
The amount of shade she's thrown into his life is extremely difficult for me to say—but it will probably never be the same for any of us. I don't know what he's going to do. He's not nearly even thought about a baby. He will be so distraught, and the band could even fall apart.
                          
And just like Will said, she's doing this all in the order of what she wants, not worrying about what he thinks. She waited until the time was convenient for her. 
                          
And that is utterly sickening.
