*Cameron POV*

I lean back into the sofa as Louis presses play, "Every one shut up!" He instructs as Aaron turns off all the lights, making it so the only source of light is the darkened outside world.

I smile as Niall sits beside me, "Hey," He whispers bringing out a package of slices of turkey breast and cheese from his bag, "Want some?" He questions wrapping his turkey around his cheese.

I fight my laugh as I shrug, "Why not." I say grabbing a turkey slice and eating it.

I watch as the movie begins, but my mind trails somewhere else. I glance around the room before noticing Steffi and Zayn gone. I hide my panic on the inside as Dan and Phil burst through our doors, Anaya trailing in behind them, "Hello!" Dan calls out.

"Shh!" Louis scolds turning to face him.

His eyes widen as he looks at Louis for a moment, before bringing his eyes to Niall beside me and going all over the boys except Zayn of 1D. He pokes Phil's side and whispers, "You see One Direction?"

Phil nods with wide eyes, "Wow. Yeah. But Zayn is missing."

Dan shakes his head before walking in and sitting down on the couch, "Right, well time to become great friends with you guys. Do you happen to know Nick Jonas?" He questions looking to me for an answer.

I let out a small laugh, "Dan you don't just befriend people because they know people you like," Phil knits his eyebrows at Dan. He turns to me, "So do you happen to know Pete Wentz, like, really well or anything?" He whispers.

Dan looks at Phil with a bewildered expression, "What- You just- Phil. Practice what you preach you twit."

I smile rolling my eyes as I concentrate on finding Steffi for the moment, "Excuse me guys. Talk to Niall, he knows almost everyone cause everybody loves him." I smile to Dan and Phil as I turn Niall towards them.

I swiftly stand off the couch and walk towards the stairs, jogging up them and walking to the end of the hall. I walk into the bedroom Steffi and I are sharing to see its empty. I knit my eyebrows and glance to the bathroom, seeing the lights off in there also.

I hear buzzing and my eyes go to the bedside table, seeing Steffi's phone lit up. I glance around confused for a moment. Steffi left her phone? That's unusual.

I let out a small sigh as I walk towards the balcony. I open the French doors and walk out onto the balcony. The cold air kisses my skin as I shut the doors behind me. I walk forward and lean against the railing as I watch the rain pour heavily and the sky darken even more if possible.

I let out a sharp breath as my mind trails elsewhere. The sound of the rain hitting the trees soothing me somehow. I bite my lip as my mind trails to what Steffi said earlier.

I wasn't there at all. In fact, I stayed as far away from them as possible. I toured with the new Magcon guys, which was fun yeah, but it still wasn't the same. Sure, we went worldwide, but none of us actually had the same love for one another like we did at the start. We weren't actually a 'family'.

While I was touring I met a girl named Lina. We met in Paris while I was stopping on the tour. I thought she was really pretty and sweet when I first met her, and honestly I only agreed to go on a date with her because I wanted to forget about Steffi.

Sure, me and Lina had a lot of fun together, we laughed a lot and had few good moments- but in the end I realized I never really liked her, it was only so I could forget Steffi even existed. It worked for awhile, Lina distracted me with quite a few things.
