Camila

   My stomach was begging for food, anything I could find. Slipping into Taylor's dressing room I'm met with comfort. The room smelled of her and there were couches, clothing, and a table of food. Making a beeline toward the table I grabbed a bottle of water and chugged it before I went to grab a sandwich.

   I made my way over to the couch and took a bite of it, it was heaven. The bread felt like clouds in my mouth, I never had a sandwich this good before I almost moaned in response.

Suddenly the door swung open and my eyes met Taylor's. It took me a few seconds to register what was happening and I instantly stood up.

"I'm so sorry," I said making my way toward the door

Taylor didn't say anything at first but blocked my exit.

"What are you sorry for," Taylor said stepping aside the shut the door.

"I'll go," I say

Taylor grabs my arm and I Yelp pulling back, she grabbed exactly where Shawn squeezed my arm earlier.

"Your fine Camila" FUCKING BUTTERFLY

"I'm so sorry I hate your food and I'm in your room" I spill out

Taylor walks past me and grabs a bottle of water and a sandwich herself before sitting on the opposite couch I was sitting on. My mind reels at the thought that she truly does not care.

"Your okay, I don't blame you Shawn has shit in his room" Taylor smiles

"I'm sorry I was so hungry and I couldn't get anyone to deliver and I was starving " I mumble

Taylor takes a bite of her sandwich.

"So you gonna come finish it" She points to the half-eaten sandwich sitting on the couch

"I'm sorry," I say

"Camila you're fine, the food is there for anyone hungry. And your hungry " she says

I inch my way toward the couch before sitting back down. It feels weird to be in the same room as her when I've spent the whole tour avoiding hers

"Eat" Taylor demands

I give in and pick up the sandwich. My hunger to real and raw to avoid it. I take a bite and close my eyes. My stomach demanding for more.

"Your starving," Taylor says observing me from across the coffee table

I just nodded taking another bite.

"When did you last eat," she asks

I stop and think, when did I eat? I simply shrugged my shoulders and take a drink of water before taking another bite.

My sandwich is almost gone when Taylor stands up. She walks behind me to the table and returns with another sandwich. She plops it down in front of me on the table before sitting down right next to me.

"Oh no it's okay one is plenty, " I say

"Your still hungry, eat," Taylor says

My stomach growling gives me away

"No it's enough trust me, I cannot eat more," I say going to stand up

Taylor pulls me back down by my wrist

"If your trying to keep your figure another sandwich won't hurt it, trust me," Taylor says taking a bite of hers

I nodded, will it? If Shawn found out that I ate two he would be livid. He's not here though and my stomach is asking for more. Without thinking I grab it and eat more.

"Where's Shawn," she asks

"Bar" I mumble in between bites

The door opens and I quickly look up to see Andra, Taylor's mom walk in. The opening of the door sends a cool gust into the warm doom and my legs erupt in goosebumps and I try my best not to shiver. Taylor shifts behind me and she sets a blanket over my legs. She noticed. She's thoughtful. She made me eat when I needed more and cares that I'm cold.

Andrea walks behind me and then makes her way to sit on the couch Taylor once occupied.

"You did amazing tonight," she says

Andrea eats the food she grabbed.

"Thanks, Mom. Also, this is Camila, Shawn's ...girlfriend " Taylor says

I notice the pause she had, what's her deal with Shawn?

"Nice to meet you, Camila," Andrea says

"Thank you It's nice to meet you too," I say smiling

Maybe I've made a good friend for once.

"I'm headed back to the hotel soon. Make sure you get some rest tonight " Andrea says

"Don't worry Mom I will" Taylor smiles

Andrea glances at me.

"Are you cold sweetheart?" she asks

"Kinda it's been a chilly night," I say taking another bite of the sandwich

"You gotta get some meat on your bones" Andrea chuckles

"Oh no I couldn't imagine gaining weight" I snort

I see Taylor and Andrea glance at each other but they say nothing.

"We'll have a goodnight," Andrea says making her way out of the room

Once she's gone Taylor lets out a breath

"What are you doing tonight since Shawn's busy," Taylor asks

I don't have to think about that one

"Probably sleep," I say laughing

"Out of everything you'd sleep," Taylor snorts

"Girl yes I'd marry sleep" I snort

Taylor lets out a laugh and I have to stop myself from admiring it.

"Well if you want I'm going to watch a movie tonight if you wanna hang out," Taylor says

Hang out? Like at her hotel? Would Shawn be upset? Would that cross a border? Would this be considered messing around? Getting into trouble?

"No pressure," Taylor says getting up

I see her go to exit

"Wait" I yell standing up

Taylor turns to me

"I'll come to hang out for a bit" I say

Taylor smiles
