Reunited - MAGCON 2017

Chapter Sixteen - Truth or Dare and The Truth is Revealed

ALLY'S POV

I gulp nervously, my heart pounding in my chest.

Have I just been kicked off of tour?

Jack interrupts my thoughts.

"No! Uh- I mean, Bart please I swear it was my idea. She's covering for me. Look I won't perform tonight it's okay. But believe me when I say, Ally had nothing to do with it. I'm taking full responsibility. Please let her stay."

Jack is talking all at once, he's so nervous.

I say nothing.

Bart nods and whispers something to the producer in which she nods.

He then turns back to us.

"Very well. Ally you can stay. Jack you may attend the show tonight but you will stay with Ally, backstage only. Now I suggest both of you go and put some clothes on and get ready for tonight."

Throughout all the yelling and the commotion, I hadn't even realised that the bus is moving and we're on our way to the venue.

Bart and the producer leave and I turn to Jack, lugging myself at him. He falls over slightly, regaining his balance on the window.

Jack looks me right in my eyes.

"I'd rather miss tonight's show than not have you here with me."

And just like that,

My insides melt.

The show went amazing. Except for the fact that Jack wasn't in it. But everyone performer extremely well. The crowd was amazing. And although Jack and I had loads of fun messing around backstage, a part of me still feels like a burden to the group. I'm the only one that doesn't perform, seeing as I'm here as part of work experience. I don't know, I guess I just feel a bit left out sometimes. Like an outcast.

After the show, we all head back to the tour bus. We're going to sleep here for the night, get breakfast at a local restaurant in the morning and then head off for the next show tomorrow at noon.

It's currently around 11:30pm and we're all gathered in the main room of the tour bus. I'm sitting talking on the floor with Jack J, Jack G, Madison, Hayes and Nash when suddenly Blake stands up on a table with the biggest grin on his face and yells;
