*Matt's POV*

I woke up the next morning with Sam still in my arms. I sighed. She looked so perfect. I came to the conclusion that I do like Sam, but right now, I have to help her out with Aaron. Right now I have to be her best friend. I unwrapped my arms from Sam and and stood up, noticing all the guys were gone. The clock said 9:30. I stretched my arms and decided to wake Sam up because we needed to get ready for later. I climbed on the bed and shook her. "Sam, wake up." She groaned and turned over. I laughed and went over to the other side, "Sam, come on, today is the first day of Magcon." She finally sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Where is everyone?" 

"I woke up and they were all gone, they must have went down for breakfast."

"I'm hungry, meet me back here in twenty?"

"Sure thing, best friend." She laughed and I gathered my stuff and went back to my room. Dang she was cute. I just wish she didn't like Aaron. I got to the room I shared with Carter and went inside. He wasn't here. I got changed and went on my phone for a little. 

*Sam's POV*

After Matt woke me up, I threw on a random shirt and leggings and got ready. I put on a little make up and texted Matt I was ready. I waited for him, the events of last night replaying in my head. I was still upset. I didn't know how I would face Aaron today. I heard a knock on the door and opened it up to see Matt smiling at me. I weakly smiled at him and he brought me into a hug. "It's ok. We'll get throught this." I hugged him tight, he knows me so well. We walked down to the buffet and all the guys were sitting at a long table. "Hey Matt, Sam, come sit with us!" Cam called over. Matt waved and whispered, "You ok with us sitting over there?" I nodded. We got food and sat down at the table. I was sitting next to Matt and Aaron. Great. Nicole and Shawn were across from us, flirting. Matt started talking to all the guys and I just picked at my food. Aaron nudged me, "Hey you ok?"

"Yeah, just tired."

"Sam, I know you."

"Aaron, I'm fine."

Before I could comprehend, Aaron grabbed me and dragged me out of the restaurant. We ended up in a stairwell, again. 

"You know, I'm starting to think we come here too often."

I chuckled and Aaron sighed, "What's wrong?"

"Aaron I."

He interrupted me, "You can tell me anything Sam, I'm your friend."

I looked away. "I can't."

"Why not?"

I didn't respond. 

Aaron turned me to face him. "Sam, please, was it because I tried to surprise you yesterday?"

"No."

"Was it because I got mad at Jack for almost putting that picture on Twitter?"

I gulped, "N-No."

"Sam, please."

He grabbed my hands and held them. I took them away.

"Sam." He pleaded.

I looked over at him and his hair was messed up and his eyes were tearing.

"Sam, I hate myself for making you like this. Please tell me, I'm dying here."

He buried his face in his hands. 

I didn't know what to do. So I stood up and began to walk away.

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know."

I ran. Ran as fast as I could. I didn't stop. I ended up on the roof. I looked over the edge. I sat down and scrolled through my phone, reading aloud the note I wrote to myself last night. 

Sam,

If your reading this it probably means your sad. 

Literally everyone hates me. All my friends call me names and push me. I don't have any true friends. They say I can't sing, that I'm ugly, fat, worthless, no boy will ever like me. They say, "Sam, can you go and kill yourself already. No one likes you or wants you here."

I coudn't continue. I was crying too hard. 

"Why me?" I cried out.

"It doesn't have to be this way." 

I looked up and Aaron was standing there with a tear rolling down his cheek. "You don't deserve this Sam, you are pretty, and funny, and nice, and smart, and insanely talented. Even though I haven't heard you sing yet."

I tried my best to smile. He came over and brought me into a hug and whispered in my ear, "Don't let anyone tell you aren't special, because you are." He took my hand in his and we walked to his room. I didn't know what this meant, but I liked it.

*Aaron's POV*

I really wanted to know why Sam was so upset. I think it has something to do with last night when I got mad at Jack for taking that picture of us. And then later her reading that note made me break down. I cannot believe someone that beautiful, inside and out, could be picked on so bad. I think she likes me, but I don't know if I like her. After seeing her break down on the roof, I decided that we should have some alone time in my room. Magcon started in four hours so we had time. I took her hand in mine, I didn't know why but I liked it. We got to my room and I popped in a movie and ordered room service.

"What movie are we watching?"

"Pitch Perfect."

"That's my favorite movie!"

We got comfy and I put my arm around her. She leaned her head on my shoulder. About 20 minutes in, room service came and I went to get it.

"Cheeseburgers and milkshakes!"

"Yes!" Sam laughed and took her food and began to eat it. 

The next scene in the movie was the Riff Off and Sam got up and started dancing and singing along.

I took a vine of her and posted it with the caption: Isn't she crazy? I tagged her and her phone buzzed.

She checked her phone and tackled me. "Aaron!"

I started laughing and she pinched my cheeks. "Your laugh is so cute. Aw!"

I laughed again and realized she was still on top of me. Her smile faded and we were just staring at each other. She got up off of me and paused the movie.

"So, do you wanna hear me sing?"

"Yes!!" 

I sat down and let her get comfortable.

She closed her eyes and began to sing All of Me.

She kept her eyes closed and kept singing so I took a vine. The other boys crept in from the connecting room because they heard her voice. She was incredible. She finished and took a deep breath and opened her eyes. 

We all started yelling and clapping.

Sam almost fell out of her chair.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US YOU COULD SING LIKE THAT?" yelled Shawn.

Sam was blushing at all the attention. Matt went up to her and picked her up and swung her around, his arms around her waist and hers around his neck. They looked like a couple. I felt a bit jealous. Maybe she liked Matt. Sam came over to me and kissed my cheek. "Thank you so much Aaron, I needed that. You are the best friend anyone could ask for." 

I smiled and we hugged for the longest time.
