Can't Find Me.

Chapter 3: Shoot Me Now.

Nala's POV

I know who they are now. Those are the guys who watched as I was tortured. Nash and Cameron didn't laugh, but Taylor did. Like I deserved it. Nash had an apologetic look in his eyes when I had caught his glance a time or two then. I hadn't blamed them for it, but I was hurt that they didn't do anything. They didn't notice who I was, which I'm kinda fortunate for. I don't want all the apologies. I have to bunk with Nash and Cameron, while Taylor and Hayes share a room. We were all just chilling out in our room, watching a movie. Cameron and Nash were on Cameron's bed, while Taylor and Hayes were on the couch we had. I was laying in my bed, not even paying attention to the movie. Then Andrea started calling me. I quickly hopped up with my phone and headed out the door. I closed it behind me and walked further down the hallway.

"Hello!" I yelled at her.

"Hey! How's it going?"

"Well I've discovered something."

"What is that?"

"Remember when I told you my highschool story?"

"Yeah what about it?"

"The guys who watched? They're the guys I happen to be on tour with. Shoot me now."

"I'm so sorry."

"It's not that I blame them or anything, I just don't want to hear the apologies. It's done. It's been done and it's over now. Well I better get back. I don't want them thinking something's up. Love you Andrea."

"Love you too Nala. If you need to come home, come home."

"Oh! While I have your attention, do you want to move in with me? It's a big house and I'm alone."

"I would love to! I can move my stuff these next few days. Okay, I'm gonna go now. Love you Nala."

"Love you to Andrea! Kisses!" We made kissy noises then hung up.

I turned around and ran into what felt like a wall. I stepped back, and saw Nash.

"Your the Nala, that-"

"I don't want to hear it Nash, it's over."

He pulled me into a tight hug.

"Well I am sorry. I was stupid list to watch."

"Like I said, it's done. I'm not an outgoing person,so I guess that's why they targeted me. But it's done and over now. Just don't tell the guys." I pulled back and looked at him with pleading eyes.

"I won't. I promise."

We went back into the room and I laid back down. Nash laid down next to me. I was really uncomfortable with that, but he didn't care. Cameron had passed out, after he did Taylor went back to his room. Hayes was asleep on the couch. So it was just Nash and I that was awake.

"So, why did you leave? I missed you when you left. Everybody was saying horrible things, that you probably.... ended it." He said with a hard swallow.

"I left to start fresh for myself. I didn't do it to hurt anybody. I thought nobody liked me there anyways."

"That's not true. Cam and I like you. You were weirdly quiet, but I found it not so weird. I don't know." He said with a sigh, then running a hang through his hair.

"You just seemed different to me." He said after a moment of silence.

"Different how so?" I asked bringing my finger to lip, running my nail across my teeth.

"You just... Out of all the things they did and said to you, you seemed like it made you stronger. Your still a strong beautiful girl."

"Well thanks." I said as I brought my hand back down to my other hand.

"So, are you gonna be my bestie for the restie?" He said as he nudged my shoulder with his.

"I don't know."

I got up and got in my suitcase. I got out my usual sleep wear. Booty shorts, tank top, amd sweatshirt. I went to the bathroom with my toothbrush and toothpaste in my other hand. I brushed my teeth, then changed my clothes after showering. I blow dried my hair and left it down. It was naturally pin straight and it went down to the small of my back. I had a an okay body figure. I was 5'7, I had curves, but a small waist. I have basically, a body of a model, except I'm kinda to short to be a model. Then I had a thigh gap that I hated. Sometimes I just hated everything about me. I walked out of the bathroom and laid back down next to Nash, who was on his phone.

"You can go back to your bed now. If you want, that is."

"Well Cameron is sprawled out, so is it okay if I sleep here?" He said pointing to the other pillow.

I nodded, then plugged my headphones in. I also plugged it into the charger. I laid back and closed my eyes, listening to Shawn Mendes, then Jack and Jack. When I was almost asleep, I turned the music off, unplugging my headphones. I laid on my side, facing away from Nash. I scooted as far away as possible, but his foot was still touching my leg.

"Do you mind? That's my leg."

"What we can't play footsie?" He said with a chuckle.

"Definitely not." I said sternly then pushed his leg with mine.

I shoved my face into the pillow and went to sleep, waiting for tomorrow to come for the event.
