Chasing Cameron

01

"My name is Maddison Matthews and I am 22 years old and I grew up in Chino Hills, California. Cameron and I went to the same high school. I met him in our sophomore year of high school and we started dating our junior year and we've been together ever since."

I was currently being interviewed for Cameron's upcoming Netflix original series "Chasing Cameron". We are doing all of the solo interviews where we introduce ourselves and tell a little bit about us etc. Then throughout the next few weeks we do the family interviews.

"So tell me a little about the high school version of Cameron." The producer said. "Um Cameron was a really shy kid in high school. It even took him a while to break out and start to actually talk to me. There was small talk here and there but it took some time for us to become close."

"Could you tell us a little bit about your family?" The producer asked. My family was a bit more of a touchy subject for me.

My parents and I used to be really close with each other but at the time I made a decision to not go straight into college and they didn't like that. They disagreed with my decision very much and they are still upset with me to this day. Ever since that decision that's when I started to hang out with the Dallas family a lot more. Gina was always like a second mom to me and I am very grateful to know her. And eventually I made the decision to not go to college at all and by that time my parents really weren't happy with me. Let's just say that home stopped feeling like home. But it was my choice.

"Well I am an only child and I was raised by both of my parents in the same household. Um there's not really much to discuss, we don't really get along that well anymore." Just then Cameron walked in with food and we made eye contact and I made a small smile.

"Why don't you get along with them?" The producer asked. "I don't get along with them because I made a decision to not go to college and they didn't like that. Every parent wants to see their child go to college and most parents are okay if their child doesn't want to go, my parents were not those parents. It really tore our relationship apart." I looked down sadly and ran my hands through my hair.

"Describe your relationship with the Dallas family." The producer said and I smiled a little. "My relationship with them is one of the best things I could've ever asked for." I looked at Cam and he smiled at me.

"I was around them a lot in high school and then once my relationship with my parents started to fall I was around them almost all the time. Sometimes I would stay multiple nights at their house and we would just have a good time. They made me feel wanted at a time when I didn't. I will be forever grateful for that. Gina is like a second mom, and Sierra is like the sister I've always wanted." I smiled.

"So now getting into the MAGCON stuff, you toured with the original MAGCON right?" The producer asked. "Uh yes, I did tour with the original MAGCON. I wasn't a talent or anything, just there for the experience." I responded.

"How did you feel about the original MAGCON?" She asked. "When I was touring with them we all got so close. They were like a family to me. It was fun and exciting and there was never a dull moment with them. It was really hard to watch it end. I'm still emotionally connected to the original MAGCON and I know a lot of fans are. I got along with all of them very well. We were all just one big family." I felt the tears start to fill my eyes.

I felt my wrist for a hair tie and there wasn't one. Cam immediately knew what was up and he brought my one and I tied my hair up into a high ponytail. A long time ago I developed a weird habit and whenever I was frustrated or felt like crying I would tie my hair up and I don't know why but it's just this crazy habit that helps a little.

Sometimes I find myself watching old MAGCON videos because I miss it very much. The guys and Mahogany connected with each other so well and there was a bond that could not be broken. Touring with them was so exciting and I miss it all. The Cameron Dallas Song, püma, the push up contests, everything.

"So you just finished the United States MAGCON tour and we would all like to know what it's like being on a tour bus with a bunch of guys?" She asked and I chuckled a little. "Um it's not that bad actually. It's really fun and it can definitely get annoying sometimes because we're all like siblings and siblings tend to get on each other's nerves. But it's pretty fun. The guys like to mess with me, it gets annoying after a while but I can never stay mad at them." I laughed just thinking about the memories we've all made so far.

"So besides the original members who do you get along with best?" She asked. "Besides Cameron, Taylor, and Aaron I would probably have to say that I get along best with Blake Gray. I get along with them all pretty well but Blake mostly. He's the one that messes with me the most."

"That'll be it for right now Maddison. Thank you. Oh and just a reminder that we will be interviewing your parents at 2:00 tomorrow so if you can remind them of that." The producer said. "Yeah of course." I nodded my head and walked over to Cameron.

"How'd it go?" He asked as I let my hair down. "Good. They want to interview my parents tomorrow." I half smiled and he wrapped his arm around me. "I'm sure it'll be fine." He said and I shifted under him. "I don't know. I just know that I don't want to hear them say how disappointed they are that I chose not to go to college."

"Well it was your choice. As long as you're happy that's all that matters." He kissed the top of my head and went to go get interviewed.

He was right. As long as I'm happy that's all that matters.
