Reunited - MAGCON 2017

Chapter Eleven - Hugs and Shades

ALLY'S POV

I wake up and check my phone. 12:30am. Woah, I slept in. I sit up in bed, smacking my head off the top bunk, letting out a small moan. I feel dazed and confused until suddenly everything from last night comes flooding back to me and waves of sadness immediately wash over me and I feel empty and hopeless inside.

We are currently on the road to Wisconsin. I hear low murmurs coming from the main room, assuming most of the guys are awake. I drag myself out of bed, again painfully smacking my head off the top bunk as I do so, and make my way to the bathroom.

The second I look in the mirror I let out a small gasp. My eyes are bloodshot and extremely puffy, my lips are swollen and there are black rings under my eyes. I groan as I throw water onto my face.

I literally did everything to try getting my face back to normal again but nothing seemed to work and I still looked the exact same when I left the bathroom.

Just as I'm about to crawl back into my bed, Colby emerges from the main room.

He shuts the door behind him when he sees me and makes his way over to me. We're the only two people in the room, apart from any of the other guys sleeping in their bunks, but I'm assuming their asleep so.

"Ally," he says, before taking a look at me. "Woah, oh my God are you alright?!"

I sigh and say nothing.

"Rough night?" He says, sighing aswell.

"Yeah," I moan, rubbing the temples of my aching head.

"Yeah, I saw you run in here last night crying."

The memories come flooding back to me and I remember as I ran onto the bus last night, I ran past Colby and Ethan.

I blush.

"Oh..yeah."

"What happened?"

Silence.

"..that is, only if you want to tell me of course. We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to." He smiles comfortingly at me.

I flash him a quick, weak smile.

"Thanks babe but I don't think I'm in the mood for talking just yet."

"Well whenever you need me," he winks. "I'm always here." He gives me a warm smile and opens his arms out.

I smile and wrap my arms around his back as he places one hand on my waist and one stroking my hair. He gently rocks us back and forth before rubbing my back gently and pulling away.

"Oh God, I forgot how much of a mess I am," I blush, rubbing my eyes.

Colby smiles.

"I still think you're beautiful."

I smile widely, remembering when he called me beautiful the first day we met.

I chuckle.

"Not at the moment I'm not."

He laughs.

"I still think you are."

I smile.

"You coming into the guys with me?"
