MAGcon Dancer

41

*Hayden's POV*

Today G-Cam and Jenna come back from their suspension and I gotta say being sent home with the families doesn't sound bad at the moment.

I sat in my room as Nick did school work in the corner of the room.

"Hayden, this thing is due by 12 and I'm only half way done," he panicked a little.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Come here," he said patting a spot next to him on the couch.

I walked over and saw all these papers and tabs open on the laptop.

"What on earth is this?" I implied to all of the junk around him.

" its AP calc and science homework. Its more than I expected. Its basically project grades. If they're not done soon then I gotta do summer school."

"Its 11. You can't finish in an hour?" I asked.

"I have no idea. I hope so. Actually Marlay knows how to do stuff like this. Be right back," he said and grabbed his laptop before jogging out the door.

He actually reminds me of Eric sometimes. Me and him haven't talked in a while and that hurts.

I pulled my phone out and my finger hovered over his contact.

Alright... I called him.

"Hello?" He said when he answered.

"Hi buddy."

"Oh hey Hayden. Haven't talked to you in a while," he said dryly.

"You're not mad at me are you?" I asked hopefully.

"I tried not to be but all I ever hear about now a day is you and Hayes and Nick and fights and blahblahblah..." He paused. "I don't really care anymore."

"We're best friends Eric. Please don't be dumb about this."

"Me? Dumb? Never."

"Eric..." I laughed.

"Hayden I gotta go. My girlfriend wants me."

"Girlfriend? You got a girlfriend?!"

"Yes girlfriend. I gotta go." he said before hanging.

He must be really mad at me but I wouldn't blame him. I sat for a sec just staring at my phone.

I left my room and went to find Nick in Marlay's room.

"Guys, do you think Bart would let us take personal home visits?" I asked them.

"He should. Why? Is Cassie ok?" Marlay asked.

"Yeah she's fine...I just need to see my friend." I fiddled with my phone.

"Uhm. I'll go with you to ask," Nick said and stood up from his position next to Marlay.

"Take your laptop too," she told Nick.

"Can you just....do a part of it for me. 1-4 please?" He asked.

"On part C?" She asked annoyed.

"Yes please. Thank you!" He told her, rushing out of her room, pushing me in the process.

We went to find Bart in the cafe area of the hotel... Of course.

"Hey Bart, can I ask you something?"

"Actually before you do, I have to tell y'all something. The agency likes the idea of all these kids on tour but they think it'd be easier for Jack and Jack should do this alone for a while." Bart rushed.

"But.. Why?" Nick asked.

"I guess its too much to manage. I don't know." He shrugged sadly.

"So the dancers are going home?" I asked.

Bart nodded slowly. "You'll be back soon though. We can consider this an extended vacation."

"How extended?" Nick asked.

"4-6 months. The guys will probably be able to stay but I guess they don't think the dancers are doing much good when it comes to money.  I'm sorry."

"When do we leave?"

"In 4 days. I'm telling the other dancers tonight. Be there?" Bart said.

"No. Whatever. Apparently I need to go pack. Forget all of this anyway." Nick seemed heart broken and mad. His face was almost unreadable.

He walked away from me and Bart so I tried to catch up.

"Nick wait. We'll come back soon." I told him trying to brighten the mood.

"Save it. This was fun but it wasn't as fun as it could've been. You and all this hurt you bring is no help."

"What? I haven't done a thing to you."

He shook his head at me.

"Keep telling yourself that Hay."

He walked away and I was dumbfounded. If he's talking about me choosing Hayes over him then I can't believe he's still mad over that.

I went up to my room and texted my parents, telling them I'll be home soon. They were confused but I told them I'd explain later.

As I was packing, G-Cam and Hayes walked into my room.

"What're you packing for?" Hayes asked. "Going to see your family soon?"

"Yeah. For a while too," I shrugged.

"What do you mean?" G asked me.

"Bart is sending the dancers home Camren," I told her.

"What?" Her and Hayes asked in sync.

"Bart told me and Nick today. He's telling y'all later but he thinks that the guys should just have some time to do the old magcon I guess."

"How long?" Hayes asked.

"About 6 months. Maybe longer," I said tossing a shirt in my suit case.

Camren went silent for a while. She sat in disbelief and it was sad seeing her so quiet.

"I just got back," she said more to herself. "This is ridiculous. Everything good always goes bad."

She stood up from her spot on the bed and left the room.

Hayes looked at me with worry but all I could do is shake my head.

He pulled me into a hug and that made me realize that not only would I be leaving him, but I'd be leaving all the dancers and other guys.

We were like a huge family and just like that, we won't be one anymore. The thought made me tear up a little but I sucked it up and plan on saving the tears for when the day comes.

I feel like I was ripped from my family but at least I'll be seeing my other family soon...
