41. Trust. (PART TWO)

~Mason Nicole's POV~

"Collin open the door!" I try to get him a to talk to me like I have been trying for the past three days.

"Mason you should just leave him alone." My dad pats my back.

"He needs to know I'm not mad at him." I turn to look at him.

"He knows." He starts to walk away and I pound on the door in panic.

"Collin you can't fuc-"

"Mason!" My dad flips me around to face him. "You need to breathe okay, Collins not going anywhere. You have all the time in the world to talk
to him but right now it's 10:00AM and you need to be getting ready for your first day back at cheer because I know you're gonna walk there with your friends."

"Yeah..yeah okay, sorry." I flip my hair out of my face.

"Are you alright? You seem on edge."

"Yeah, it just feels like everyone's stress roots from me."

"Come on Mason. You're a teenager. All you guys do is radiate stress. Don't worry you said it just feels like it, if it's really a problem you'll know for sure." He winks and walks back into his room.

After a painful but good hour at cheer Liam picks me up and spins me around during break. "It's been too long missy!"

"I missed seeing ya' on the field Li." I laugh as the rest of my favorite football boys come up to say hi. "You guys looked good out there."

"I know." Louis grins at his joke. "Thank you."

Kade: Where are you?

Me: At the school, cheer practice. Why?

Once I walk back to the cheer team I'm attacked with the ultimate group hug. Which brings a lot of attention, hoping it doesn't catch Nick's. I sit on the bench to take a breather.

Kade: I'm near there, let's meet up princess. xx

I begin to reply denying his offer so I could pry at Collin some more until Nick comes up to me.

"Hey, do you have time for lunch?"

"Yea-" I'm interrupted when I hear Anarbor blaring through the speakers of a car. I look out and it's Kade. "I'll be back." I run up to his car in slight embarrassment.

"You should where spandex shorts more often." He winks.

"Turn down the music!" I scold feeling like everyone is watching. I lean down to look through his window, he turns the dial for the volume.

"So when does your little thing end?"

"In thirty minutes." I smirk. "Look who ended up crawling back."

"Crawling back means I'm desperate, me being in London for the day and deciding to come see you means you're worth the time. You're welcome."

"So what, just because you're here doesn't mean I need you here."

"Can I ask you something?" He tilts his head. "If I stole you for a quickie would anyone notice you're gone?"

"I need to get back to cheer."

"Sooo we can hang out?" He grins.

"Sure, why not Kade." I return the expression.

"I'll pick you up babe."

~Zayn's POV~

"This is like an awful drug trip." I groan to my mom.

"What? You thought the pills would make it so you could do what you want and not feel a thing?" She looks at me and rolls her eyes, she scoots closer to the bed to hold the trash can up. I throw up into it immediately.
