Uncovering Secrets {CDLS 2}

chapter 36

Taylor's POV

I just arrived to Hawaii, and decided to visit Ashlyn and surprise her.

I got to her house and I saw Megan. I parked my car across the street, then I saw Ashlyn walking to Meg.

I waited until they went inside, then I walked out my car. I took a deep breathe, and knocked on the door.

Ari opened the door and she was shocked. She closed the door behind her. "What are you doing?" She asked.

"I decided to surprise Ashlyn." I answered.

"Taylor, we both know paparazzi follows you around, and if they see you here, the fans will go crazy. Rumors will start up, and Ashlyn would have to stay here longer." Ari said.

"Wait. Is that the reason Ashlyn is staying in Hawaii? She is staying here, because of paparazzi?" I questioned.

"No the reason she needs to stay in Hawaii for 6 months, is because of the hate the fans give her. 24/7 she gets hate. She doesn't tell you guys because, she knows it will affect Magcon. She knows how much Magcon means to you guys." Ari said.

"Wait. Ever since tour started, hate has been going to her." I had to confirm it.

"Yes." She said.

"So all those times we asked her if she gets hate, she lied to us." I said realizing.

"So I suggest you stay in a hotel room." Ari said.

"Can I tell this to the others?" I asked.

"Sure." She said.

I sighed and walked back to my car. I told the others the real reason, why Ashlyn is staying in Hawaii.

Shawn ~ WHAT! I feel so stupid 😔 I knew she was lying.

Aaron ~ Ugh! I feel so bad. She was thinking about us more than herself.

Hayes ~ My best friend, is dying because of my supporters 💔

Matthew ~ I should've checked the comments on the photos. I feel so stupid.

Carter ~ Well, I'm gonna have to say something to the fans...

Jack J ~ My lil sister is in pain, because of us 💔😭

Jack G ~ I'll ask the fans about this

Nash ~ Our fans? Hurting our little sister... The pain we caused her 😭 I feel so guilty 😔💔

Cameron ~ ... I'm the worst big brother ever 😔🔫

I checked all the messages and started the car, my phone was vibrating constantly, because they were cheering up Cam.

Once we got to a hotel, I checked in and heard to the room. This was the same room, I had when we had a show here in Hawaii.

I sighed and I looked around, and I can still remember all the things that happened. I decided to unpack and walk around town.

Ashlyn's POV

"Who was that?" I asked.

"A friend." She answered quickly.

"Who?" I asked.

"A friend you don't know." She answered.

"Oh okay." She said and continued on my phone.

I sighed and checked Snapchat. I scrolled through the recent stories and I saw Taylor's. I pressed on it and I immediately recognized where he was. 

"Umm... Ari?" I called out.

"Yes?" She said.

"Was Taylor at the door?" I asked.

"Why?" Ari asked.

"Taylor? As in Taylor Caniff. My ex Taylor a.k.a Bandana Boy." Meg asked.

"Ari. Don't lie please." I begged.

She sighed. "Yea... It was Taylor." She said looking down.

"Oh my gosh! We need to see him ASAP!" Meg jumped off the couch.

"Where is he?" I asked.

"In the same hotel room he was in, when Magcon had a show here." Ari answered.

"We need to see him. Please Ari." Meg begged.

"Fine, but Aaron is taking you." Ari said.

"AARON!" I shouted.

"YES?!?" He shouted from upstairs.

"Come down!" I shouted.

Few seconds later I heard footsteps coming down stairs. He had his car keys, and Maddie wanted to come along with and see if Taylor deserves the 'older sister approval.'

We arrived to the hotel, and went up to the receptionist, and asked what room Taylor stayed in. She denied to give it, because that was Taylor's orders. We sighed and we heard the elevator door open. We looked and saw Taylor.

Meg gasped. "I-Is that really him?" Her voiced cracked.

Meg was scared and happy, once she saw Taylor. She was frozen.

Taylor's POV

I saw Ashlyn, Meg, and another girl that looked like Ari's age. I remembered that paparazzi was around here, so I had to pretend I didn't know them. 

"Taylor?" Meg asked.

"Hi." I said.

"Don't you remember me?" She asked.

"I'm sorry, but I don't." I lied. This was the most painful thing I ever did. 

"Huh?" She was confused and heartbroken.

"Taylor. Stop acting stupid." Ashlyn said trying not to get angry.

"I'm sorry. But I really don't know you two." I lied. I was in pain just saying that to Meg because I haven't seen her in a long time.

"Mr.Caniff do you want me to call security?" The lady at the desk asked.

"Yes please." I said.

A few minutes later security came and brought the three of them out. Ashlyn was angry, Meg was heartbroken, and the other girl was confused. I turned around and whispered "I'm sorry." to myself and headed back to my hotel room.
