My Reunion

•28•

I wake up rubbing my head. What? What happened? I look around to see the living room trashed. I look behind to see a pair of pants hanging from the clock.

I remove the blanket off of me standing up. I sway back and forth, then I regain balance. I see the guys all over the floor still asleep.

I step over Nash, carter, and Matt heading into the kitchen. I see red cups all over the counters, floor, and the table. I grab some Advil pouring two in my hand.

I hear some grunting come from the living room. I look behind to see Cam walk in the kitchen. He has lipstick smudged on his lips. I grin and hand him the Advil.

His hair looks like an animal made a nest in there.

"Remember anything from last night?" I ask leaning against the counter.

"I just woke up kid. I don't remember anything." He groans and refills his water bottle.

I smile grabbing a trash can.

"I'll make the eggs." Cam mumbles grabbing a frying pan.

I chuckle starting to clean up the mess in the kitchen. I hear some mumbles, groans, and sighs coming from the living room.

"Get ready for the what happened, or my favorite one Matt what did you do." I whisper to cam as guys come in the kitchen.

"What happened?" Carter asks rubbing his head.

Cam smiles at me. I countdown from 3 on my fingers.

"Matt what did you do?" Nash asks.

I grin taking the trash out. When I walk back in the guys grab plates getting some eggs. I stand beside Hayes who leans his head on my shoulder.

"I'm never ever drinking again." He mumbles.

"It was just one cup of apple juice." I joke.

"Ha. Ha." He says sarcastically.

I smile kissing his cheek sitting at the table. I eat my eggs watching as the guys just stare at their plates, mentally dead. When the phone rings they all sit up acting like they're all awake.

"Hello?" JackJ answers.

His face turns pale and he nods.

"Alright see ya then."

He hangs up looking back at us.

"Guys we got a meet and greet today." He speaks up dreadfully.

"Bro I can barely walk without feeling lightheaded." Taylor mumbles.

"Okay were all good actors... well some of us we just acted like tonight never happened." JackG suggests.

We all nod hoping it might turn out good.

"The secret dies with us." I say putting my hand inside the circle.

We all agree and shake on it. If Bart found out about the alcohol he'll cancel the tour and even worse possibly jail since Hayes and I are still minors.

We walk out of the beach house trying to act like nothing happened. We get inside our cars and Cameron drives off toward the meet and greet area.

When we get to the building I avoid eye contact with fans. I'm trying my best not to look guilty but some of these people view me as role models.

I can't look at a 12 year old in the eye after having a whole night with alcohol. I feel bad enough. I walk in and head straight to the food table.

Eating food helps me deal with stress. So yeah I'm probably gonna gain like 20 pounds in an hour.
