Chapter Four - Snooty Comments and Hugs

ALLY'S POV:

It's about 4 hours into the drive and I'm currently sitting on the couch with Hayes, Blake and Colby.

The rest of the guys, Madison and Mahogany are chilling and laughing together, apart from Matt, Willie and Hunter who are asleep in their bunks.

Trey, however, is sitting in the corner of the bus, by himself. He's playing his guitar and the more I watch him the more I realise that he's deep in thought. He's trying to write a song.

Why can't I take my eyes off of him?

I turn back to Colby, Blake and Hayes and return to our conversation until I get chills up my spine, and the feeling that someone is watching me.

I scan the room until I lock eyes with Taylor. He was watching me, I can feel it. He gives me a cold look before turning away and talking to Cameron. I scoff and turn back to the boys. I'm still trying to figure out what I did to make him so upset but no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to think of anything. Whatever, though. I honestly have better things to do than to throw a pity party for myself over Taylor Caniff hating me. I'm still in the midst of sorting out my feelings. I don't even know who I have feelings for at the moment. There's just so much going on and I'm honestly so sleep deprived.

I'm not sure if it's because I'm so tired but I honestly can't seem to take my eyes off of Trey. He looks so gorgeous, yet so peaceful, sitting there playing his guitar.

I should go over to him. No, you shouldn't Ally. The last thing you need right now is to confuse yourself even more.

I turn back to Blake, Colby and Hayes. Hayes sounds really concerned as he asks me if I'm alright. I just reply with a shrug and a scoff and turn my head away from him. He simply just nods and leaves to get some water. I didn't realise how rude I sounded and how I upset him until I played the moment back in my head. I feel really bad, Hayes sounded genuinely concerned, almost as if he was really worried about me.

I excuse myself and make my way over to Hayes. As I approach him he turns to look at me then turns back to pouring himself some water, ignoring me.

"Hey, I'm sorry about being so rude just there. I'm fine, I really am, thank you. It's just Taylor."

Hayes gives me a small smile and stares directly into my eyes. His gorgeous blue eyes mesmerising me. Besides the point, his smile quickly changed to a frown and concern swept over his face.

"Wait what? What did Taylor do?" A tone of pissiness in his voice, he puts down the glass and leans towards me, showing me I have his full attention.

I sigh.

"That exactly it. He did nothing. He won't talk to me, he'll barely even look at me. I try to make an effort with him. I try to be friendly with him and he throws it all back in my face. All he does is give me cold and dirty looks and I have no idea what I did wrong." I look down at the ground. Hayes says nothing so I continue. "I dunno I guess it's just hard trying to fit in sometimes."

Hayes grits his teeth and pauses.

"I'll be back in a minute," he mumbles storming away.

I grab his arm and spin him around. "Hayes, please no don't get involved, please. Don't say anything. I don't want to make him hate me even more."

Hayes freezes. He stares at me momentarily before glancing down to look at my hand which is still resting on his arm.

I quickly remove it.
