What Happens In Vegas...

Dani's P.O.V.

I woke up to a soft knock on the door behind me. I must've dozed off against the door.
"It's me, Ry."
I slowly stood up feeling the aching in my back, legs, and swollen eyes.
"I have coffee." He added, I lightly smiled opening the door, and practically slammed it in his face seeing he had brought Arzaylea and Vanessa with him.
"Dani..." he sighed, I could just tell.
I opened the door, snatched the coffee, and slammed the door again.
"Danielle." Ryan's voice became stern and I could tell I pissed him off. "Open this door."
"No." I quickly jumped.
"Danielle Marie Henderson." "Hemmings." Vanessa whispered. "Whatever." Ryan replied. "Open this damn door."
"Go away, Ryan."
"Dani." Vanessa..."Please let us in. We aren't here to gang up on you, please let us in." her plead sounded genuine, but so did anything else she said.
"Guys, just go in without me. This was a mistake. She probably wants to punch me." Arzaylea...
"She's got that right, but it'd be more than a punch."
"Danielle..."
Did I say that out loud? Whoops.
I sank back down behind the door. Luke's message played over and over in my head. Did he send them?

Luke's P.O.V.

My swollen eyes opened up to Jack and Ben sitting on my bed.
"Just leave me alone." I spoke, pulling the covers over my head.
I heard my door pop open, but could still feel their weight on my bed.
"Luke, mate. We have to practice." Ashton spoke.
"Seriously?" I growled.
"Mate, management has been calling all morning. You're publicity isn't doing us any good, he booked us a gig to prove everything is okay. Dani needs to be there too..."
"Good luck with that. She's probably on a plane home." my own words stung at the thought of her being gone and possibly never seeing her again.
"Ryan, Vanessa, and Arzaylea are all at her hotel right now."
"WHAT?!"
"We came in to tell you, but you were in a piss mood." Ben spoke.
I quickly jumped out of bed and up to my closet.
"What are you doing?" Mikey asked.
"Getting them the hell away from her. She'll kill Arzaylea if they aren't careful."
"And you think she wants to see you? You aren't her savior right now, Luke. We picked up up from sleeping in front of her door if you don't remember." Jack scoffed.
I froze in my tracks. Dani's note burned in the back of my mind, began playing in my mind in her voice.

Dani's P.O.V.

I opened the door and quickly stepped away. All three of them stood in front of me, I sat on the bed.
"Dani, I'm--"
"Do not speak to me, I will kill you, don't tempt me." I scowled at Arzaylea, she stepped back and Ry sat down next to me crossing his arm over my lap. He gave me the "you will sit here and listen" look.
"Hear me out," Vanessa began, "this was all my idea, my fault. I wasn't done with Luke and I know how stupid that sounds because yes, I left him at the alter, and I'm marrying your best friend. Try giving him up, I know you don't want to. Neither did I. Try watching him be happy with another girl, and then another. I set him up with Arzaylea, as a rebound, and until we became friends, that's all I felt she was worth. Her and I both planned the other night, neither of us expected it to go as far as it did..." she choked up and my heart was pounding.
"Luke and I didn't sleep together. We sold the story to the paps and used another roofie." Arzaylea spoke.
"Luke..." I stuttered.
"Never cheated on you." Vanessa picked back up, "He has cheated before, but not on you." Everyone's faces went dumbfounded, "I'm sorry, Arz. I am an awful person. And Dani, I am so sorry, the only thing I don't regret was getting you two together. And Mikey and Rae... I may not have set them up, but look how happy they are too."
"Excuse me what?" I stopped her.
"That's another story. I need you to hear me out."
"I've heard you loud and clear. What I don't get is how you 'love' Luke and do all this to him? How do you sabotage two relationships, three, that he clearly cared about. That's sick. That is so sick. And how the fuck do you get so many drugs? And why her? Why me? Why pull that stunt? What did I ever do to you? What did Luke do to you? You are sick, and heartless. I can't even begin to believe Ryan forgave you. And Arzaylea, why? Why would you go along with being a rebound? Then to be publicly slammed as the promiscuous ex? Or to be okay breaking up a relationship you have no idea about. And Ryan, to forgive her, them? That disgusts me. I have done some things I'm not proud of, but I never purposely ruined someone's life. Just get out."
Nothing else was exchanged as I stood at the door now, demanding they leave. I quickly locked the door and went to my phone.
"Please enter your password... You have 1 saved message... Saved message..."

Luke's P.O.V.

My heart raced as I walked my way over to the hotel. I had stood outside the door, the only thing stopping me from knocking was the yelling i heard.
I didn't cheat on Dani? It was all a set up? Sick! Dani clearly felt the same way as she ripped into Ryan, Ness, and Arz. Now Dani knows I'm a cheating bastard, but at least not on her. As I heard her demand they get out, I ran around the corner. Should I go in? I knelt down, feeling something in my pocket. I hadn't changed pants from last night... The note...
"Luke,
This is my half hearted goodbye... I can't take this. This isn't for me. I thought you were honest, and different. Clearly you're just the same. Please don't think this is easy for me. I love you. I fell for you over the past few months like an idiot. If I could go back to Vegas, I'd tell you to just go back to your life. You're better off without me, and I'm better off without you. I'll hopefully be on a plane by the time you get this, but that's if I can ever come out of hiding thanks to the events of last night. Thanks for the memories.
With what I thought was love, Dani."
Maybe I should just let her go.

Dani's P.O.V.

"Dani... It's me... Luke.. But you know that... You rejected the call, and I'm sure you can hear me outside. I love you so much. Last night was the biggest mistake of my life. Arzaylea isn't what I want, she never was. I was stupid then, and stupid now. I should've given you all the attention you deserve. You're the girl I've always dreamed of, I need you, Dani I want you, only you. I'm not asking you to forgive me right now, but... Baby, please don't go."
Tears were streaming down my face again. I can't let Luke go.
I jumped for the door, and as I opened it my heart raced.
"Luke..."
