I left Grayson and the others and head back to Indiana.

I was so scared. My mom wanted me back immediately to explain everything.

It obviously took a while to get back home. So rehearsals and trying to memorise the script, was very difficult for me.

I finally arrived to Indiana and got picked up from Jack.

We exchanged hugs and did our normal greetings.

"I told you this was a bad idea" Jack says as we both hopped in the car and turned the engine on.

"Do you think she won't let me get back to LA?" I asked Jack as I felt so scared.

Jack looks back at me and I could tell he was scared for me.

"It depends how the conversation's gonna end up like" he says as he drives home quickly.

GRAYSON DOLAN

I got back home, as the others wondered where Natalie was.

"She had to go home asap. Her mom wanted to speak to her" I explained as I walked up the stairs.

Then, Alex stopped me.

"How was the date though?"

I smiled back at all of them and did a smirk. "She loved it"

They all cheered up for me except Andrea who was just smiling.

Alright ..

NATALIE

We arrived home and I couldn't handle how scared I was.

Jack opened the door for me as I saw my mother sitting on the couch.

"Mom! I missed you" I shouted as I walked up to her and gave her a hug.

I didn't feel her arms around me. I looked up to her frowning at me.

I let go of the hug and stood back.

"Mom I'm so sor -"

"What you did was unsafe! If I didn't know where you were, what if something bad happens to you! If that happened, how am I .. YOUR MOTHER. YOUR GUARDIAN. YOUR PARENT. How was I supposed to keep you safe if I didn't know where you were ."

I looked down feeling awful, feeling like the worst daughter ever. As I was going to reply, I felt a hug.

"But I'm also so proud of you."

I looked up as my mother's thumb wiped my tears that was dripping. She smiled at me and gave me another hug.

"You know?" I asked as I let go of the hug.

"Mrs Silvershoot told me about it. Honey, you didn't have to keep this a secret. I would've let you go no matter what."

If only I knew that before. I gave her another hug, making me feel so calm and relaxed.

I looked back at Jack who was smiling at me and asked for a hug. We did a family hug and I thought of staying here for a while then head back.

LOS ANGELES

I finally got home at Alex's place with the squad and went to rest.

Hope I didn't miss a lot in rehearsals or I'll have a lot of trouble.

~~~

It was about 6:57am and I got up to get ready.

After I got ready, I saw Grayson smirking at me and winking causing me to giggle.

I made my usual hot chocolate and waited for Kian. I told Jc to tell Kian about not to pick me up yesterday morning and Jc seened me so ..

Hopefully he told him or else Kian would think I ditched him.

As I was waiting for Kian, Andrea came walking to me and pulled me away from the squad.

"Kian likes you I could tell"

I looked at her and chuckled. "Why you saying that as if you actually met him before"

"He came by yesterday and asked where you were" she says causing me to choke on my drink.

"Really? Omfg he probably thinks I ditched him. Thats why he's not coming to pick me up" I say as I put my drink down and called Alex.

"ALEX! CAN YOU DROP ME OFF TO THE STUDIO??"

Alex says yes and runs down the stairs grabbing the keys.

We left off making me feel worried about Kian.

"Hey you okay? You look worried" Alex asks as I stopped biting my nails from getting worried.

Okay don't worry. I don't do that everyday. It's just a habit when I'm scared or worried ...

"Huh? Oh yeah .. I'm fine"

He nods as he turns to the studio.

"Thanks Alex! See you later" I say as I hopped off his car, seeing him wave goodbye.

As I got in the studio, people were asking me about how was the holiday or how was the break.

I obviously replied but got tired of answering everyone's questions.

As I was getting asked, I saw Kian walking in the studio.

"Sorry, wait .. hold on" I say as I stopped people asking and ran to Kian.

"Hey Kian, sorry for di -"

"Ditching me? Yeah .. no worries. I'm used to getting ditched and used anyway"

"What? I didn't ditch you. This holiday was sudden and I didn't even know it was going to happen. I told J -"

"Then why didn't you tell me before or let me know?"

"I told Jc tell you because you weren't answering my call or text"

Kian looks down and laughs to himself. "Well .. this is awkward"

I chuckled and gave him a hug. "I obviously wouldn't ditch you"

He chuckles and fixes his hair. "Sorry, I just got worried"

"I know" I say as I giggled
