*Cara's POV*

My eyelids flicked open and my pastel blue eyes scanned around to see 11 pairs of eyes all staring at me. A sharp pain entered my brain, causing me to shut my eyes again.

"Cara" Johnson whispered down my ear as he was carrying me to a slightly tilted chair.

"What happened?" Grabbing my head, I lay back in his arms and groaned.

"You fainted" Pressing a hand on my cheek to feel my temperature, Dani looked concerned.

"Really? I can't remember" All I could remember was dancing stupidly on the dance floor. Typical.

"Yes, do you feel okay?" Holly jumped in and pulled up a chair near me.

"Yeah, I'm fine" Attempting to sit up, I was blocked by Johnson pushing me back down.

"You need rest" He smiled and tried to get me to sleep. Really Jack? In the middle of a wedding.

"I'm okay Jack" Nodding and swatting him away, I laughed at his stressed face.

Getting back to my feet, I took a sip of water that Amelia had got for me and everyone scattered back in the usual formation. I don't know what's wrong with me?!

I'm going to still enjoy myself but I'm not dancing like that again... It got a little heated. I pulled my chair next to Johnson's and put my head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around mine.

"Is your head not hurting?" Inspecting the area that I fell on, he checked for bruises or wounds.

"Oh yeah, thanks for catching me by the way" I sarcastically tutted and flipped my hair in his face.

"Well sorry but my reflex isn't that fast, we were grinding" Putting his hands up in defence, Johnson smirked to himself as if he was proud.

"For f*ck sake" Slapping him on he arm lightly, I burst out laughing and hid my face, shyly.

"You were enjoying it" Winking at me, he leaned down so our chins were on opposite sides.

"And that's why I fainted, was it?" Holding my hands out by my side in fake-confusion, I raised an eyebrow.

"You were so overwhelmed" Acting very cocky, he smiled innocently to me.

"Of course I was" I just nodded and played along with it so I didn't hurt his 'ego'.

"What's actually up with you?" Knowing that he was pushing his luck, Johnson diverted the subject.

"I don't know" Shrugging my shoulders, I wondered what was actually up with me.

"Oh" Even though he seemed unsatisfied, he kept his mouth shut.

Sitting up properly, I felt my stomach turn and I ran to the bathroom as quick as possible.

*Johnson's POV*

Cara jumped up from her chair and ran to the bathroom. I could only think the worst.

Obviously not being allowed to enter the girls' toilets, I ran to find someone.

"Lauren, come quick!" Grabbing her wrist, I attempted to pull her along.

"But I'm bullying Gilinsky, hold on" Holding one finger up to me as if to say 'one minute', she didn't make eye contact.

"I think something is wrong with Cara" Moving my hands around, I tried to get her attention.

"Where is she?" Snapping her head to me, she looked around.

"In the toilets" Pointing in the direction of the bathrooms, I hurried her along.
