*Nash's POV*

"You should come back to MagCon." I say taking a bold move. She stops eating and looks away from me. Crap. Why don't I ever learn to just shut up and let people be?

"O-only if y-you w-want to." I stutter thinking that she's totally pissed at me. Again there's no words, she just gets up from the bed and puts her plate in the sink before disappearing into the bathroom with her clothes.

I'm dead. I should just leave now before she kills me. I bet she is sharpening her knifes in the bathroom at this very moment. Why would I ever tell her that? And worse, I told her to go back, I didn't ask if she wanted to, I basically forced her.

I hear the bathroom door open and Maddie comes out, puts her pajamas and all of her things in her suitcase, closes it and stands up.

"Are you coming?" she asks me.

"To where?" I squeak. I've never been afraid of another person before, what is happening to me?

"MagCon."

*Carter's POV*

"I can't be the only hungry one." I randomly say to Matt and Jc.

"You're not." Jc answers.

"Taco Bell?" I ask excitedly.

"You read my mind." He says with a smirk. All three of us jump off of the beds and put our shoes on. I grab a room key before following Matt and Jc down the hallway.

"What happened to Elena?" Jc asks Matt while we wait for the elevator.

"She and CC went to the mall. Elena wanted to get to know her better." Matt must have seen how tense I was because he added, "Taylor and Aaron are in the game room." I loosen up as the elevator dings open. We step on along with two adults.

I smile at them and luckily they kindly return it.

"You remind me of my sister's boyfriend." The woman says to me.

"Does he have more Asian swag than me?" I asks grinning.

"Not even close." The woman laughs. We all start talking and they tell us that they just got married.

"This is our honeymoon." The man says.

"Oh I'm sorry that you picked this hotel." I say and both Matt and Jc punch me in the arm. "Hey! It's true isn't it?"

"No it's okay. All these girls give the two of us even more reasons to go out and explore." The man says gripping tighter to his wife's arm. The elevator opens to the lobby and we all say goodbye before sneaking around to the back. The crowd has gotten larger and Jc prefers to eat his tacos in peace. Whatever that means.

We try to find a cab and luckily one shows up.

"Where to boys?" The driver asks.

"The nearest Taco Bell please." Jc says and the driver gives him a weird look. Both Matt and I laugh at the expressions on their faces. I snip a pic of Jc's and tag it as 'My taco is better than your Taco'. The caption made no sense to the situation, but it went with Jc's face.

The driver lets us out at a Taco Bell and I pay him. Matt and I split a 12 pack while Jc eats his own 12. We get the tacos to go and decide to eat and walk.

"So does anyone know what to do?" Jc asks with his mouth full. I like to finish eating before I answer. *Cough* 'unlike Jc' *Cough*

"What are we supposed to do? The only thing we know is that Maddie went home. Yes it is bad but there's no stopping her. She's gone." Matt says and I feel like I should've told the boys about the box with Madison's voice. Jc shrugs and we all keep walking.

"Finished so soon?" Matt says noticing that I've stopped eating my tacos.

"Um, yeah. I'm not that hungry today."

"I'll eat the rest!" Jc yells. I laugh and hand him my extra tacos. He scoffs them down as we round the corner to the hotel.

"Carter, Matt, Jc!" The girls come running up to us. I smile but their faces tell me that they don't seem happy.

"Did you see?" a tall blonde asks me.

"See what?"

"The fight. Everyone's talking about."

"Yeah. It's all over twitter." a short redhead chimes in.

"What fight?" Matt asks sternly. The redhead pulls out her phone. When I read the tweet I almost drop the phone on the ground in disbelief.

"So I guess the word's out?" Maddie says next to a bloody Nash and Cameron.

*Nash's POV*

When I look up and see the fans and all of the boys, along with our managers, I loose it. My face freezes and I freak. Without explanation I run back into the hotel, limping a little.
God damn you Cameron. If you weren't such an asshole drunk this never would've happened.

But I never should've punched him back. I just didn't want to seem weak anymore. Maddie saw though, that's why I did it. So she didn't think I was weak, she probably thinks I'm an asshole now too.

I push my way through the crowd and run to the elevators.

"Come on, come on." I say under my breath while pushing the up button repeatingly.

"Nash!" I hear Madison call from behind me. "What happened?" she says catching up to me.

The elevator dings open. "Nothing. I'm just tired." I say and look up to see Cameron coming from the lobby. Maddie must have noticed me looking because she turns around. I step onto the elevator to try and get away, but she's too quick.

"I'm coming with you." she says closing the doors in Cameron's face.

####

*Cameron's POV*

"Shit!" I cuss out loud. I pound my fists on the elevator doors and ignore the boys piling up behind me.

"What happened?" Matt asks.

"Nash. That's what!" I yell and turn around. They all take a step back and that's when realality sinks in.

I'm hurting my friends.

The scared looks on their faces kill my insides. I look to the lobby and see the fans being held back by guards. They all look scared, none are moving.

What have I done? I fall back into the elevator as it opens. I look up to see Madison standing there, angry.

"What. The. Fuck. Is wrong with you?" She says bending down to me.

"E-every-" I say out of breath. I can't breathe so well. I think I'm in shock.

"Everything. Yep. I just talk to Nash, who by the way is in tears because of you; again." She says a little harsh. Maddie sits down next to my head and her tone softens. "Look Cameron, I care about you but---Cam? Cam!" I can't see. It's all blank, my hearing is slowly dying down but I can hear one last sentence before my world crumbles inside me.

"Call 911!"
