A month passed by, I haven't said a word to Zach.. nobody even knows about Mario and I.. Zach has been flirting with other girls, mainly fans. Today was Vidcon, we were all on our way to a hotel to settle down after a long flight.

"Okay, I have a list for who is sharing rooms." He said pulling his phone out.

Mario's grip tightened on my hand.

"Ariel, Mario, and Zach." Once he said those words my eyes shot up at Zach's.

What the hell have I gotten myself into? I thought to myself. There was already so much tension between us, why would they put us all in one room together?

"Is that a problem?" Ryan asked looking at me, "You don't look so good." He said pointing out my pale skin. "I thought you and Mario were bestfriends." He chuckled.

"Of course. I love Mario but..-"

"Zach." Ryan said cutting me off.

I slowly nodded and Zach stomped off.

"Well, sorry, but it's not up to me to make the changes." He sighed.

Does it really matter?

(A/N: Things in italics are her thoughts if you couldn't tell.)

I sighed and grabbed Mario's hand as he led me to the room.

"Don't worry, you have me. If anything happens.. I got your back." He said with passion in his voice.

My cheeks went red as we walked into the room. When the door opened Mario gasped.

"What is it?! Let me see!" I yelled out but he blocked the door.

"We have to go." He said with anger in his eyes.

Confusion filled my mind. He practically dragged me down the hall.

"Mario stop!" I shouted.

"Zach is screwing some girl!" He said tensing up.

"Why are you so mad?" I questioned.

"It's my ex." He sighed.

My eyes widened.

"What? Your ex? Who?" I said with worry.

"It doesn't matter." Mario said pulling me into another hotel room.

"How did you get it open?" I questioned.

"Ryan gave me an extra key earlier if anything goes bad."

"Mario. Seriously calm down." I started. "I'm not freaking out as much as you are!" I practically screamed. "Don't turn some drama you and your ex had into our problem." I finished and walked out of the room. The door slammed as I walked down the hall.

I don't get why he is reacting this badly. I don't care what Zach does because I'm not with him anymore, who cares if he is my ex. But apparently Mario has some strong feelings about this.

-

"Ariel, hey!" Ari said approaching me in the lobby.

"Hey." I said with tears streaming down my cheeks.

"What's wrong?" Worry filled her eyes.

"Mario. He walked in on Zach and his ex having sex. I don't know who she is but I don't care." I cried.

"You still have feelings for Zach?"

"I don't know. I'm not even upset about him. I'm upset because Mario is freaking out, like he still has feelings for that girl." Thinking about this made me sick to my stomach.

"Maybe they had a strong past." She said grabbing my hand. "It's gonna be okay. Go talk to him. He needs you."

I nodded, wiped away my tears and made my way down the hall.

-

*knock knock knock*

"Who is it?" His voice was unsteady.

"It's me." I said as he opened the door.

I pulled him into a big hug.

"Mario, I really, really like you. And I hate seeing you stress over another girl."

"I'm not upset about her, I'm pissed off about Zach. He wanted us to walk in on him. He knew we were sharing a room. He wanted to get back at you, I don't wanna see you break down like you did before."

"Babe don't worry. I'm with you now. Your the only person that matters to me." I looked down at his lips.

Before I knew it our lips were sealed. He deepened the kiss, smiling against my lips. He made me happy.

"Forever and always." He said pulling back kissing my forehead.

The thought of Zach past through my mind.

*FLASHBACK*

"Zach stop it." I wined.

"No your adorable." He smiled.

"I look like a potato."

"A cute one." He kissed my cheek.

"God you kill me." I giggled pulling his face to mine.

Our lips moved in sync. The kiss heated up and I pulled back.

"I can't." I sighed.

"I can wait." He chuckled. "I would never try and rush you I TO that type of stuff."

"That's why I love you."

"Forever and always baby girl."
