THEY'RE STAYING AT THE LOTUS INN { EMYLIE'S POV }

EMYLIE'S POV

"Bet your mood changes when you heard my voice, Emy." God, what the fuck is this? What is she doing right now? This ain't Hannah Baker shit. "Tell me, you promised you would never EVER get mad when I tell you, but.. you secretly exposed me and got mad. A broken promise of Emylie Seavey." Jesus, don't call me that. It's just for Twitter!

"Tried telling you this when I was still on Twitter with the groupchat, did you listen? I don't think you did. You just come in whenever Christian Seavey's on the chat." I— What?! I don't understand this bullshit she's doing!!

"Believe it or not, expose me again with this... This goes out... in public. Especially on social media." I dmed Summer, one of our friends, but she didn't reply. She's still mad at me.

"Don't bother talking to anyone we both know, especially the people who cares for me than you and the others do." I'm— I'm going to murder the shit out of this lady! "Don't worry, if I misgender you, this will be the last. Because I won't be here any longer, as I'm making someone's wish... come true." Who? What wish? Is this kind of a sick joke? I look around to check for hidden cameras, but none.

"Thanks for exposing me, driven me to do this, and give you guys some special delivery." She chuckles as Lotus Inn by Why Don't We plays in the background, "Not gonna lie, I liked you. I really did, but exposed me to something I didn't intend to do, which is a huge mistake."

"Played you this song up on the stereo, you played it over and over again, before it even hit the radio, oh-woah-oh, now they spin it over and over again. We've had a few good nights and a couple of bad ones, a few bad fights but I'm glad that they happened and at the end of the night, I can honestly say I'd do it over and over and over again. Yeah." She plays the second verse.

"If only I could repeat the day it all went downhill and replace the mistakes that were made, I would. Will you do the same? Probably not, because all you bitches do is expose and hate everyone. Then people around you will pity you." She let a huff as I stare at my wall. What is she trying to say?

Ping!

I look at my phone to get an email... to the Lotus Inn Hotel, what—

atthelotusinn@gmail.com:

Hi there! We would want you to have our room that is available and free to you! Only you can have it, no one else! See you at the Lotus Inn!

What is happening— Thia is like, so weird. They also sent me another email, but this time is the details. I sigh and call my manager, telling him that I'm going to take a break for two days and he agreed. Once the call ended, I grab a bag and the things I need to bring.

"Enjoy your stay, Emy." I stop the audio file, get out of the cab and see the hotel itself. Lotus Inn. During the flight to Los Angeles from Montreal, all I ever did was sleep, eat, and listen to this bitch. Nothing more and nothing less.

I went in as the person in the lobby is just the same as the guy in the music video of Lotus Inn. "Reservation for Emylie?" I said as he smiles. "Emylie Seavey." What—

Once I get to my room, I look inside. The room where Why Don't We shot their music video. "Feel the vibe you were at the Lotus Inn yet? After all, you're staying at the lotus inn, and it's either you turn back time or not." I sigh as I lay down on the bed.

"Room service!" Huh? I look at the door. I didn't order room service? I walk towards the door and open it. "Hey, I didn't order room service," I said as the guy just smiles at me.

"It's on the house, don't worry." I pull myself aside as he enters the room with a tray. Probably food. Once he puts it down on the nightstand, he quickly leaves without saying anything.

I close and lock the door and check for the tray, I open the cover and I see a purple drink, with a flower on the top of it. There's also a boombox that has a cassette on it.

"Press play and drink for the fun of your life." I read at the tray, should I?

I press play on the boombox and drink the purple drink, then darkness happened.

— • —

I wake up to hear Lotus Inn By Why Don't We, "Baby, we can turn back time.. Do it all over again, tomorrow we can press rewind..." it's already dark outside, I open the lamp as I see the room is trashed.

What?! What happened?!

I look at the nightstand to see the glass is empty, but the boombox is still playing. I grab my phone that's beside me but instead of my phone, it's an arm. I sit down and look at it. It's a guy. I look at myself and I'm wearing clothes, which, it's not mine.

The guy is blonde and somehow a cutie too, not gonna lie there. I look closely at him... No! THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THIS IS HIM!

THIS IS DANIEL? I scream as he wakes up and stands up. "JESUS, CALM DOWN, LADY!" He said as I look at him in surprise. "Daniel?" He shakes his head 'no' as I wouldn't believe what he just said.

"Emylie, it's me. Grayson. Your ex-boyfriend." WAH!!!! I THOUGHT HE'S DANIEL SEAVEY FROM WHY DON'T WE- "How are you here?!" I said as he put his pants on, thank god he was in his boxers.

"Uhm, you called me earlier and— wait, you don't remember?" I shake my head 'no'. I think so hard then...

— four hours ago —

"GRAYSONNN, GET YOUR ASS UP HERE IN LOTUS INN!!" I yell at my phone as I quickly end the call. I drink the lotus flower drink more and finish it.

I go live on Twitter and talk to everyone as I sing along with the song on the boombox. "WE'RE STAYING AT THE MOTHERFUCKING LOTUS INN, BABY!!" I yell as I suddenly remember Katie.

I sit down on the bed and look at my camera on the phone. "Katie, if you're not dead.. and you're watching this... I didn't mean to expose you like that. I didn't mean to be mad at you..." Shit, I'm crying. "I just want the people to know why you did it. I missed you. So much. Maybe if I could really turn back time... t-to save you, I would."

"The emotions got me real good that day, I didn't even think about it. I miss the way you're so bubbly on Twitter and or the way you chat with us. I miss the way you'll always simp for Zach Herron." I laugh as I hear the knocks on the door. I ended the live and put my phone down on the table.

I open the door to see Grayson holding the same drink I just finished, "Damn, it's on the house?" I said as he nods. I let him in and he drinks his, I look at him as I wrap my arms around his neck.

"I wanna see her again." I look at his eyes as he puts the drink down on the table. "Emy, why are you here? Far away from home? Don't you have a job?!" He said as I laugh.

"Fuck that job, I just wanna see Katie one more time," I said as I put my head on his chest. "Who— nevermind." He put his head on top of mine as we both dance slowly.

"But you look, you look so perfect dancing next to me. I wish the sun would look the other way..." I sing I start to cry again. "'Cause I never want this night to end. Baby, we could turn back time, do it all over again.. tomorrow we can press rewind, we're staying at the Lotus Inn. Baby, we could turn back time, do it all over again, tomorrow we can press rewind I never want this night to end."

— END OF FLASHBACKS —

I quickly grab my phone as I see a ton of people dming me on Twitter asking who's Katie, and some are just asking why am I missing the girl who faked her death on us.

I look at the nightstand and get the flower inside the glass. "Lotus Flower drink..." I whisper. "Emylie, here. I got you some Advil." I look up to see Grayson, I didn't realize he went out or something. "Thanks." I grab the glass and drink. Well, atleast I'm staying at the lotus inn, right?

RINGGGG! RINNNNGGG!!

I look at my phone and see Mia wants to have a groupchat video call, I sigh and decline the call. I don't have the time to talk related anything with them yet... Not atleast now.
