Sophie's POV

"What the hell?!" I practically scream. I was stunned and I couldn't find the words to say. I was disappointed and mad. She was one of my best friends, but Nate also was. "How could you cheat on him?!" I didn't know what to do. If I call Nate, Gia might not talk to me ever again. And if I don't tell him, and he finds out, he'll hate me. I groaned and ran my fingers through my hair.They both just stood there speechless.

The elevator soon closed, and we had to wait for another one.

"Should we go after them?" Aaron asked showing concern.

"I don't know what to do." I let out a sign.

"Babe. I suggest we leave them alone for a while and let them get through this because this is not our problem. And if she doesn't decide to do the right thing and tell him soon, then we will." Aaron assures me. I calmed down a bit as Aaron comforted me, rubbing small circles on my back. One of the elevators slid open me and we stepped in. When we arrived back at the food court, all the guys were gone. I was sort of relieved that Matt wasn't here. I didn't want to have to deal with him right now, since Aaron and I were back to whatever we are. "So what do you want to eat?" He asked as we sat down at a small table.

"I want to eat Panda Express," I requested.

"Ok I'll get our food, you stay here and gaurd the table." I nodded and he left. I checked my phone and recieved a few messages from the guys a little while ago.

Jack G: *Hey are you ok?*

*I'm fine (-: don't worry*

Carter: *Where are you?*

*I'm still in the hotel, it's ok I didn't run away this time lol*

Taylor: *HUAAAAAH*

*Lmao Taylor hit that nae nae*

Matt: *Hey Soph, I'm sorry about what happened back there. I didn't mean to, I guess I have feelings for you? idk.. please answer, I'm worrying about you.*

I didn't know whether to respond or night because I didn't know what to say. He probably knows I ignored him, since I responded to the other guys' messages. A small wave of guilt washed over me so I had the urge to reply.

*Hey Matt I'm fi-*

I was interrupted by Aaron. He set our food down, so I put my phone away so he won't ask questions. "Thanks." I said with a small smile. We didn't talk much, and I quickly finished my food because I was so hungry.

"Zamnn Soph! You eat fast." He said looking down at his food that isn't even halfway finished yet. I blushed and giggled.

"So what do you wanna do now?" Aaron asked as we walked hand in hand out of the food court.

"Uhm, why don't we just go for a walk around the city and get ice cream. I don't really want to go back there yet." I said. His face lit up.

"That sounds great." He said and kissed my cheek. I know we aren't even together and we only met a few days ago, but I liked how affectionate we were towards each other. We found an ice cream parlor not too far from the hotel, and we both ordered vanilla. Aaron payed, of course, and I rolled my eyes. We stopped by a couple of stores saw on the way and bought some clothing. And after about three hours we went back. I'm happy I got to spend time with Aaron; he made my day so much better and made me forget about all my problems. We arrived back at the hotel and went to my room. Gia wasn't here, but I'll talk to her as soon as she gets here. We decided to lay down and watch a movie together.

"Do you want to watch Perks of Being a Wallflower?" I asked him.

"Yeah sure, anythings fine." He smiled. I put the movie on and went in the bathroom to change in some comfortable clothes. I took off my makeup and crawled into bed next to Aaron. All we did was cuddle and watch movies the rest of the day. Before I knew it, it was already 10:00pm and Aaron was fast asleep. I hate how time goes by so fast when I'm with him. I took advantage of this time to take in all his beautiful features. His face is so overwhelming and adorable. I didn't feel like watching movies alone so I just turned off the TV and grabbed my iPod. Gia still hasn't arrived, and I got a little worried. I shrugged it off and put my earbuds in. I snuggled closer to Aaron and fell asleep to Ed Sheeran.

I woke up super groggy and hot. Aaron's arms were tightly wrapped around me and our bodies literally had no space between them. I smiled and sat up looking at the alarm clock. Are you kidding me? It's fucking 7:36am. I groaned and got up because I needed to piss. I quickly fixed my hair and got out of the bathroom. I was planning to go back to sleep, but Gia was still gone. I decided to text her and ask where she was. I waited for 15 minutes and got no reply. She was probably still sleeping. I knew I had to talk to her and get things straightened out, so I went to look for her. I went to the Jack's room first and knocked on the door. I felt like a zombie and I needed sleep, but I had to do this as soon as possible. I knocked louder and Jack J soon answered the door. He looked startled. "Uh.. hello." He said awkwardly scratching the back of his neck.

"Good morning! I'm sorry for my little outburst yesterday and waking you up, but is Gia here?" I asked politley.

"Yeah.." he trailed off looking at the ground.

"Can you please get her? I need to talk to her." I said with pleading eyes. Jack nods and walks back to his bed where Gia was. He shakes her and she groans.

"Sophie's here." He mumbled to her and her head shot up. She just sat there like that for a couple seconds then stood up.

"Hold on," she said walking to the bathroom not looking back at me. Jack sat on the bed and we waited in an uncomfortable silence. Gia finally came out and I let out a sigh of relief. I went out to the hall and Gia followed, closing the door behind her. I faced her with my arms crossed and a smirk on my face.

"So you and Jack huh?" She blushed and I smiled. I didn't want us to yell at each other so I tried to keep this conversation and calm. "Look, I'm really sorry I yelled at you guys like that, I was just surprised. You don't need to apologize or anything you just need to tell Nate about you guys. I'll be there with you if you want and help you. I'm just upset you didn't even tell me you big bitch." I joked.

She sighed and I could tell she was more than happy that I didn't scream at her. "I know what I did was wrong but I really like Jack and he likes me too. I feel like he tries harder than Nate does and he got me feelin' some typa way." She said and I laughed at her choice of words. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you and it won't happen again. I know that I can trust you and you won't judge me." She smiled. I spread out my arms and we hugged for like 3 minutes.

"Ok now that we straightened everything out, I'm gonna go back to sleep. Don't forget we're going to talk to Nate today." I reminded her.

"Ok have fun with Aaron!" She winked.

"Have fun with Jack!" I said walking back to my room.
