Reunited - MAGCON 2017

Chapter Ten - Secrets Released and Screaming

ALLY'S POV

I left the show within the first 5 minutes. I couldn't bring myself to watch Matt mope around the stage, not joining in with the rest of the guys, just sort of standing there looking depressed.

So I sat in the bathroom for hours just playing on my phone, listening to the booming music of the show, which could be heard through the walls and thinking of what to do about Matt and Cam.

But even after hours and hours alone thinking to myself, I still couldn't decide on what to do about the situation.

The show finishes and I wait about 20 minutes before leaving the bathroom and making my way towards the tour bus. The guys are probably all still in their dressing room so I decide to just head into the bus to hopefully just crawl into bed and go to sleep without having to deal with noise and craziness from the guys.

But when I make my way onto the bus, I find that the guys have already beat me to it and are all in the main room of the tour bus, still obviously hype from the show and screaming and running around.

As soon as I step foot into the room, kissing noises and whistling and screaming and teasing is thrown in my face and I immediately become overwhelmed with so many feelings.

I look around the room in search of Matt only to find that he's not here. I ignore the ongoing taunts and scan the room.

Trey is sitting in the corner of the room with his guitar, although he isn't playing it. He's just staring at it, which is strange.

I look and see Taylor sitting on the couch, outstretched with the biggest smirk plastered across his face as he stays engrossed in his phone, as per usual.

Waves of anger immediately wash over me, just at the sight of him and that big stupid smirk across his face. Of course he had no way of knowing that I didn't want anyone finding out about the kiss between me and Matt, but he still didn't have to be such a dick and go running to tell all of the guys first-thing after the show. He could have at least talked to me about it first.

I can feel my face turning red, not just from the humiliation but from anger. I can't do this right now. I turn to leave the room but as I do, my eyes fall upon Cameron sitting on the floor by himself in the far corner of the room.

He's staring at the ground. I can literally feel my heart breaking at his pained, hurt expression and the waves of anger are suddenly replaced my waves of guilt.

He doesn't even look up from the ground. His pained eyes are transfixed on the floor. It's almost as if he's not in the room, as if he can't hear all the screaming and teasing and whistling around him.

My hands are shaking and I look around the room, in search of Aaron. I really need someone to talk to right now. I really need my best friend.

But he doesn't seem to be here either.

I feel so confused, so lost on what to do. My head hurts and my heart is heavy with sadness. All I want to do now is sleep. And the guys aren't making anything better with all the taunts and screams.

"WHOOOOO, ALLY STUCK IN!"

"ALLY AND MATT SITTING IN A TREE..."

"ARE YOU AND MATT LIKE DATING NOW?"

"KISSY KISSY BIG LIPS!"

I sigh as the pounding in my head gets worse.

But then I look to see Cameron slowly stand up, and then all of a sudden push past the guys, and me, and run out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

The screaming and teasing slowly dials down and I don't know whether to go after Cameron or to stay here with the rest of the guys.

I just stand for a few minutes staring at the ground, unsure of what to do.

I must look really stupid because I don't realise that all the guys have stopped all their noise completely and are all staring at me.

"Ally?" Ethan says, a worried tone in his voice.

I look up at him and pause, before turning and running out of the room.

I run halfway down the narrow hall of the bus before a figure emerges from the bathroom and lands in my way. I crash into him, stumbling backwards.

"Cam," I choke. I can already feel the tears brimming behind my eyes.

He has his back turned to me.

"Don't," his shaky, cracked voice croaks. Is he crying?

He still doesn't turn to look at me. Instead he begins to walk away from me but I grab his arm and pull him back, swinging him around to face me.

His eyes are slightly red and he immediately tries to turn back around but I grab him and pull him closer to me.

I feel as though I'm about to burst into tears.

"I'm sorry," is the only thing I can manage to say.

"Stop," he mutters croakily before pulling himself out of my grasp and walking off the bus. I follow him outside.

"Cam, I'm sorry. I'm so so so so sorry, I shouldn't have kissed Matt, I just-"

"So then why did you?!" He turns around, now facing me. His anger-filled eyes staring deep into mine.

"I-" I stop. I don't know what to say.

He waits for me to answer. I stay silent as he shakes his head, scoffs and turns his back on me, walking away again.

I run towards him and grab his arm tightly, attempting to turn him back around to me.

"Cam, wait!" I exclaim before he swings around at me suddenly, shaking my hand off his arm, his anger-filled expression frightening me.

"Don't touch me!" He yells. I'm taken aback by his sudden tone of voice. "I thought I meant something to you. But I obviously don't. Matt seems to mean a hell lot more to you than I do. But of course I'm the idiot who tries to go after you. I'm the idiot who goes after the girl he's just met when instead she runs off to the kinky shit who she's known for years. I can't believe you used me. But I guess that's what I get for falling in love with a girl who goes from guy to guy, thinking she can get whoever she wants."

My heart stops. Did he just say he loves me? I open my mouth to speak but no words seem to come out. I'm frozen in my spot.

"You know what, Taylor was right. You are a slut. Have fun with Matt, or whoever you're planning on messing with next."

My heart shatters and tears begin streaming down my face as he storms off in anger, leaving me standing alone in the cold night.

I let out a small cry as I watch him walk away. My heart physically hurts. I've never felt more upset in my life. I am a slut. I am a whore. Taylor was right.

I turn and run back onto the bus, pushing past Grayson and Colby before jumping into Aaron's empty bunk and crying myself to sleep.
