It Boy

Chapter Twenty-Six

-Cameron Dallas-
Okay, you've become dangerous. I mean, why am I still helping Jack? He won't take the shot. The whole group had to visit Hayes in the hospital.

The whole time I felt uncomfortable and guilty. I watch Johnson lie his way all through the day. When he looked at me, I glared. He would look away.

It was my turn to see Hayes. He just laid there, in complete stillness. I walked up to him. "Hayes," I started. "I'm sorry this happened. If you couldn't tell I haven't been me. I'm sorry you got affected by my actions," I apologize. No movement. No respond. I stare at him.

I left and told Aaron he can go. "After you've seen Hayes, go to the hotel and get ready for tonight," Bart instructed. I followed the guys out.
*
"Yeah I'll see ya there," I called to Matt. He stopped by my room. I checked the hallway then looked out the window to see the guys leave. I took the weights down stairs.

I closed the gate carefully.

I stood at the edge.

I tied the weights on me.

I closed my eyes.

Finally, I fell in.

The coldness from the water rushed to greet me. I didn't struggle. I felt air slipping from me.

This is what happens to bad people, I kept telling myself.

Soon enough, it was over. Blackness was there with no promises. It's over
-Jack Johnson-
"Hey where's Cam?" Taylor C asked halfway through practice. Everyone got quiet and looked around. "He was about to leave when I was leaving," Matthew said looking at Taylor. "Someone call him," Bart said annoyed.

I pulled out my phone and dialed his number.

No answer. "He didn't pick up," I say looking at Bart. "I'll go get him," Matthew said. "Yeah I'll go with him," I say. Bart nods and we start to head that way.
*
"If he's still getting ready I'm gonna be pissed," Matthew said opening his hotel door. We walked in and there was nothing there. "We'll all his stuff is here. " I say looking at his clothes on the ground. "Oh shit," Matthew suddenly saids. He runs away from the window and sprints outside. I followed after him. He takes us to the pool.

"Matt, what'd you see?" I asked jogging carefully around the pool. I look over in the water and I saw what he saw.

A body.

"Oh my god. Is that?" I ask knowing who it is. Matthew carefully lifts the body out of the pool. "It is," Matthew finally speaks. I stare at Cameron. "Call Bart and tell him. At least now he won't get yelled at for being late," Matthew said with a smiling tugging at his lips. "Yeah, being dead is one hell of an excuse," I agree.

I step outside the gate and dialed Bart's number.

Bart-" did you find Cameron?"

Jack J-" yes,"

Bart-"where is he? Jack we have a show in two days. "

Jack J-" I know but Cameron can't be there"

Bart-"why? Where is he?"

Jack J-"Cameron is dead. He killed himself,"

Bart-"what? He's dead,"

Jack J-" yeah. Matt and I found him in the pool. "

Bart-"what the hell is happening. Nash dies, Hayes is in the hospital, and now Cameron dies,"

Jack J-"I know,"

Bart-"well call the police then head back over here. "

Jack J-"okay see ya"

Bart-"see ya"

"Bart said call police then head back," I tell Matthew. He nods and moves away from Cameron. He calls police. I stand there and stare at the body.

I felt guilt instantly.

"The police said they'll be here any minute," Matthew said coming back.
*
"Yeah we found him like this. " Matthew tells the police. "Alright thank you for your time. " the officers saids then walks off. Matthew and I head back to rehearsals. "Why do you think he did it?" Matthew asked as we waited for the crosswalk light. "Only Cameron knows," I say so I don't have to confess my guilt. Matthew doesn't question my weird answer. He nods and starts to walk.

-Leah Rose-
I was sitting class listening to my teacher talk. She was going on and on about the smart ways to control your classroom. I looked over at Taylor and saw her yawn for the 20th time. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I looked around and no one noticed. I carefully took it out and looked at who texted me.

Matthew

I decided to ignore it because Matthews always being kid like. I put my phone back and pretend to pay attention.

After class Taylor and k were on our way to the library for study hall. "So who were you texting in class?" Taylor asked. "How'd you know?" I asked smiling. She gave me a crooked smile. "Your not that slick, Rose," She tells me while opening the door for me. I walk in. "Matthew," I tell her. "Which reminds me," I say aloud pulling out my phone.

I read Matthews text.

"What!" I shout.

Everyone looks up and stares at me. I can feel all my blood draining away.
