Colby's POV

As soon as Sam and I are able to pull away from the group of fans in the ice cream shop I notice the girls are gone. I panic, looking around frantically and when I can't find them inside I head for the door.

"Kat texted me. They headed back bro. Chill." Sam says from behind me.

"Why'd they leave?" I ask, pushing the door open and heading out onto the street.

"Don't know. All she said is that they left." he replies with a shrug as we make our way back to the hotel.

"Don't worry Colby. They are fine." he says in a hushed tone, tapping me on the back.

I nod my head and pick up my pace, wanting to get back to the hotel ASAP. My brain is going through every occurrence in that ice cream shop, and I wonder if I did anything wrong.

Were they uncomfortable with the fans? Did I disregard them?

The last thing I remember is Kat following Morgan into the bathroom to get cleaned up after Mia had dropped her ice cream. Was she mad about that?

No. she never gets mad at Mia.

I know Morgan gets uncomfortable in groups of people, so I just assume they wanted to make a silent exit and head back to get ready for the Q&A. But that doesn't slow me down. I told the both of them I wanted to spend the rest of our time here together.

As soon as we step into the cool hotel lobby I whip my phone out of my back pocket and call Kat.

"Yes Colby." she answers.

"Where are you guys?" I ask

"In the room, I'll be down soon." I hear nothing in the background.

"Are the girls with you?"

"Yes."

"Are they coming down?"

"I don't know."

"Why?"

"Morgan doesn't feel good." she replies and my eyes go wide.

"Do I need to come up there? Is she okay?"

"She's fine Colby. I'll see you in a few. Bye."

And with that she hangs up. I huff and turn to Sam.

"Kat will be down in a few. Let's get this over with." I mutter and head for the entertainment room where they have an area for creators to hang out in before getting on stage.

"Just Kat?" he asks.

"I dunno." I say quietly, "Morgan doesn't feel good, so I would assume they aren't coming. Your girlfriend wouldn't tell me what's going on." I huff in annoyance as we make our way to backstage and plop on the couch.

"Colby chill. I am sure she is fine. Kat might bring Mia. Don't worry about it okay? I'm sure she will tell us all about it when she gets down here. You can't keep getting all worked up over them." he says, slightly annoyed.

I pop my head up and give him the dirtiest look I can muster. "Like hell I can't Sam. You don't get it." I seeth.

"Don't get what Colby? I am trying to help you. They will be gone in 24 hours. I get you care for them, I do, trust me. And I care about them too. But you have dug yourself in a deep hole these past two days. You're breaking your own heart. We have had this conversation before. Don't get attached to fans." he lectures me like I am his child.

"I'm not attached." I mutter.

"Bullshit Colby. Where did you sleep last night?" he asks.

I stay quiet and hang my head down, resting it in my hands.
