chapter three

nash, 2 weeks later

"CAM!" i yelled, running up to cameron in the lobby of our hotel. we made a slow-mo video of us running to reach other for vine, since the fans would love it. they called us 'cash'.

it was so exciting to see the other guys, and i could finally get my mind off of arianna.

arianna.

after i kissed her that day, i've completely ignored her. that's the wrong thing to do, i know, but i couldn't just talk to her about it, especially since i was sure she had no intentions of being with me when she had someone like cam or shawn going after her too. i'm just her emotionally unstable best friend, and it needed to stay that way. i couldn't lose her.

she had tried to text me a lot, asking to hang out or how my day was, and i would read it but not answer. she texted me before my flight to nashville but of course i didn't answer that either.

call me an asshole if you'd like, but i just don't know what to say to her.

arianna

i stared at the clouds in the sky, watching them move along oh so slowly. incouldn't stop thinking about him.

nash.

he's completely avoided me, but i still want to talk to him and be around him. did he have any feelings for me? or am i a terrible kisser, so he wants nothing to do with me? he's the only person i have in carolina, and he's pushing me away now.

"ari, dinner?" my mom called from the front door. i nodded and stood up, brushing myself off and walked into my house.

dinner with my family has been awkward lately, to the point we haven't even sat at the table like we used to. dad would sit on the couch, mom would eat at the table, and i would eat in my room.

i heard my phone vibrate, and my heart starting beating quicker.

it was cameron.

i've been talking to cameron a lot lately, and we got kinda flirty... a lot. i've been talking to shawn and jack gilinsky too, but only as friends.

cam dallas ❤️ - hi:)

"heyy (:" i replied, sighing. i went onto vine, noticing that nash had posted a vine with cameron less than 10 minutes ago. oh.

cam dallas ❤️ - what's up babe? 😘

i laughed at the emoji he added. and the fact that he called me babe.

"the sky 😉"

i just have to be sarcastic.

shawn mendes 💛 - ARI!!!!

why were they both texting me? didn't they have things to do, like being with nash? if i was with nash, i wouldn't be sitting around texting them. but that's just me, i guess.

"SHAWN!!" i pressed send.

cam dallas ❤️ - hahaha funny, can i ask you something??

nash

ari holland 😍❤️ - sure

"do you like nash?"

"really, nash?" cameron asked from beside me. "you could've just asked her yourself."

i shrugged, cameron rolling his eyes. we both stared at the bubble with the three dots, waiting for her response.

ari holland 😍❤️ - i really do.. i thought we could've had something but we haven't talked in over two weeks..
