Sammie's POV

"Are you sure?" I asked, turning to Matt who was laying down, tanning with me.

"Yes, Sammie. You're looking a bit pale." he shrugged. I frowned, looking at my skin; I wasn't that pale..

"No, not that. I meant about Cam liking me." I shook my head, looking over at him.

"Oh, forget that last part then..but yeah, I think so. In Florida he asked me if I thought you liked Nash and started to seem a little jealous." Matt explained.

"I just don't understand why he wouldn't tell me.." I pondered, rubbing some tanning oil on me.

"Maybe he just doesn't want to ruin your friendship..or more importantly a romantic involvement with any of the guys here. I don't even know if he's just protective of you or he really likes you." Matt smirked, sitting up and facing me with a smug look.

"i wish he would have told me sooner..before all of these boys came in my life." I groaned, resting my head back on the chair.

"Matt, Sammie! Come in!" Brent shouted, splashing Nash with water.

"Hm, go into the water and get my freshly washed hair filled with disgusting chemicals, or stay here and tan. I think we have a clear winner." I smirked, placing the sunglasses over my eyes.

"Boo, you whore!" Nash yelled, crossing his arms. Gilinsky and Brent laughed at Nash's comment, making me stand up and raise my eyebrows.

"Did you just call me a whore?! Oh, it's on, Grier!" I shouted, taking off my sunglasses. I stood up, pretending to crack my neck, then charging into the water. I swam over to Nash, jumping on his back and pushing him under the water. Considering how not strong I am, Nash managed to swim away from me. "Where did he go?' I asked, looking around. I felt a pair of arms wrap around me and lift me up, causing me to scream. I turned my head, realizing it was just Nash who was laughing at me.

"You're such a girl." he chuckled, letting go of me.

"Maybe because she is a girl." Gilinsky laughed, shaking his head.

"Wait, Jack should sing a song!" I stated, smiling.

"Oh yeah, Jack sing something!" Nash said, looking over at Jack.

"How about no." Jack rolled his eyes, smirking a bit.

"Oh come on, you used to sing for me all the time!" I encouraged, nudging him.

"Did he sing to you when y'all got sexually active?" Brent winked, laughing.

"I'm not even physically active what the fuck, Brent." Jack raised an eyebrow.

"Explain that to you're 6 pack." I rolled my eyes, going under water and blowing bubbles. I heard a bunch of mumbles from above and decided to come back up in case they were talking about me. "What time is the meet and greet tomorrow?" I asked.

"Like, twelve." Nash replied. I nodded, getting out of the water and heading back to gather my things.

"I'm going back to the hotel to find Cameron. Later guys." I said, waving.

"Bye, Sammie!" Matt called. I continued walking towards the lobby, bumping into someone on the way.

"Oh, sorry." I muttered, looking up at the person I hit. I laughed, shaking my head when I saw it was just Alx.

"Hey, Sammie. You okay?" he chuckled as we walked into the lobby.

"Yeah, i'm fine. Very tired though." I smiled.

"Good, well i'm gonna go to my room, later Sam!" he called, walking down the hall. I sighed, deciding to go talk to Taylor before I found Cameron. I walked into Taylor and Aaron's room, but only saw Aaron chilling in there.

"Hey Sam, need something?" he asked, muting the TV. I've come to notice that Aaron's pretty shy and quiet, but he's super sweet.

"Uh, yeah do you know where Taylor went?" I asked, looking around.

"Taylor? Um, no..no idea." he spoke. It was obvious he was lieing though.

"Come on, Aaron. Where is he?" I asked, rolling my eyes.

"Okay, he told me not to tell you this but..he went out with some girl, I don't know who she was." he confessed, sighing a little.

"He went out with another girl? Like, on a date?" I asked, looking straight at him.

"Yeah.." he said softly. I nodded, walking out of the room as fast as I could. My feet carried me to a familiar door, and I found myself knocking on it, vigorously. 

"Sammie, are you okay? Wait..are you crying?" Cameron asked once he opened the door. I furrowed my eyebrows, then felt a tear fall down onto my hand. I didn't even realize I was crying until he mentioned it. "Come here." he said, pulling me into a hug. I wrapped my arms around his neck, softly letting tears fall onto him. We walked further into his room and I sat on one of the beds. Cam sat next to me, rubbing soothing circles on my back. "What happened?" he asked, looking at me intently.

"I don't even know why i'm so upset about it," I said, letting out a small laugh. "Taylor's out with another girl. God, why did I even think he would like me without having another girl waiting for him. I'm so stupid." I whispered, putting my head in my hands.

"Whoa, Sammie. You're anything but stupid. You're the smartest, prettiest, most perfect girl i've ever seen. Taylor's an idiot if he would ever do that to you." Cam said, lifting my chin to meet his eyes.

"You really think those things about me?" I asked, biting my lip. He nodded, sending me a small smile. I turned away, shaking my head. "We aren't even dating. I don't get why i'm so upset."

"You like him, that's obvious. Of course you'd be hurt if he went somewhere with some other girl." he huffed, moving his hands away from me.

"I don't even like him that much..I just- I don't know." I said, struggling to find the right words. 

"Good, because he's a jerk. I mean, he's still my best friend, but he's a jerk." Cam smiled, nudging me playfully. I laughed a bit, wiping my eyes before standing up.

"Look, i'm sorry about what I said earlier. I was just tired, I didn't mean to snap at you like that." I sighed, walking around the room a bit.

"It's no big deal. I shouldn't have gotten that angry about it. You should be free to kiss whoever you want." he chuckled, following my movements with his eyes.

"Come with me." I smiled, holding out my hand for him to take.

"Where are we going?" he asked as I led him down the halls into the pool area. I ignored Cameron's question, walking up to the guys who were now just playing catch.

"Starbucks run, who wants what?" I shouted, getting their attention. They all looked towards me, walking closer.

"Sammie, were you crying?" Gilinsky asked, coming closer to me. He's seen me cry a numerous amount of times before, it was no surprise he noticed now.

"Yeah a little, but i'm fine, don't worry." I smiled reassuringly. "So what do you guys want?" I asked again, this time writing down their orders in my phone. I nodded, pulling Cameron along with me.

"We can take the van." he said, leading me to the van, getting into the drivers seat.

"Oh god, please don't kill us Cam." I joked, buckling myself in.

"Oh please, i'm skilled at driving." he bragged, starting the ignition and driving off to Starbucks.
