Chapter 42,

Wednesday, a day later;

Matt's Point Of View;

"Morning," Shawn said as I looked towards him. "Morning," My came out raspy as I rubbed my eyes. 

"Did you hear about Maddie?" Jackie asked. "No. What's wrong with her?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Nothing," Jackie shook her head as her eyes flicked towards Shawn's. "Where is she?" I got out of the bed and looked towards Shawn. 

"Don't get upset," Shawn walked over to me and patted my back. "What do you mean?" I ran my hand through my hair and raised an eyebrow. 

"She went back home," Shawn said slowly as my eyes widened. "No! No! No! She didn't," I ran out of the room and down to our bedroom.

I got my key out of my pocket and unlocked the door, soon stumbling in and catching my balance. I ran over to our bed and looked around, to see nothing around. I huffed and looked around again, just to see if I missed a spot. 

"Fuck!" I yelled.

I sat down on the bed and got my phone out, soon searching for her name. Once I found it, I started to tap my fingers along as I started to dial it. 

"Pick up," I mumbled.

After about three rings, she still wasn't answering. I chucked my phone onto the floor and dug my face into my hands, soon standing up and making way over to Nash's room. I opened up the door and walked in, seeing Ella sitting down next to Nate. 

"You bitch!" I yelled at her as I started to point towards her. "What?" Ella slowly raised an eyebrow. 

"You made Maddie go back to North Carolina!" I got held still by Cameron and Nash as I was going to run up to her. "Matt calm down," Cameron said.

"No! She made Maddie leave me. Maddie didn't even get to say goodbye to me all because of a little slut kissing me," I glared towards Ella. "You kissed him?" Nate spoke up. 

"No," Ella shook her head 'no'. "Don't lie to me," Nate stood up and walked over to Sammy.

"I'm not babe!" Ella stood up and walked over to Nate. "Then why would Maddie leave?" Nate said.

"Because she's just like that," Ella shrugged. "Fuck! You're worse than Sofia," I yelled trying to get out of the boys grip.

"Matt! Calm down," Nash said. "I can't," I rested my head on his shoulder.

"Let's talk outside," Nash pushed me to outside.

Maddie's Point Of View;

I slowly got off of the plane and stepped into the airport, walking towards the baggage claim to collect my bags. I stood at the edge and brought my sleeves down over my hands, soon feeling tears brim my eyes. I shook my head and looked at the entrance, seeing if my bag was coming anytime soon. 

"What have you done?" Lily popped up. "I don't know," My voice cracked.

"Why did you run away from your problems?" She placed a hand on my shoulder. "Because I can't handle it," I looked down to the ground.

"Yes you can. You are strong Madison," Lily said.

I looked up and saw my bag coming around the corner.

"I'm not strong," I said before grabbing my bag and looking around for my ride.

Once I got my suitcase into my hands, I looked around for Matt's family. Once I saw them, I ran over to them and went into Laura's arms. I let go of my luggage and held onto her tightly, feeling very raw inside.
