We all walked out to the meet and greet center where the everyone was handed all-access badges. I headed to the restroom to go pee when I got shoved into a corner.

"You really thought we wouldn't find you?!" The black-haired girl shouted in my face as she held the collar of my shirt. I didn't get to respond before she socked me in the face. Then, a guy in a black mask came up to us and started helping her beat the shit out of me.

I laid on the floor, curled up in a ball as I let the tear-blood mixture stream down my face.

"Wh-who are you?" I whimpered out. The guy lifts his mask up ever so slowly, as he's walking away. I barely see half of his face and I can already tell who it is.

"Nash?"

~~~~End of dream~~~~

I shot up in bed, tears streaming down my face. I began sobbing into my hands and looked over at Mahogany to see that she was still sleeping, so I got up, my bunny slippers and all, and headed out the door. I walked down the hall, still crying, and knocked on Nash's door to be faced with Johnson.

He looked pretty tired and was rubbing his eyes when he saw me. "What's up?" Then he noticed I was crying, so he embraced me in a hug. I looked behind him sleeping, so I pulled away and thanked him.

I headed over to Nash's bed and slipped in. I cuddled into him and tried to steady my breathing, although I was still letting a few tears slip down my cheeks. I felt him move under me and looked up to see his eyes opening.

"Sorry for waking you," I said.

"It's fine- Are you crying? Why?" He asked as he hugged me, still laying down. I told him all about my dream and he comforted me until we both fell asleep.

I slowly uncovered my eyes and saw this beautiful blue-eyed boy quietly sleeping next to me and he was all mine. I closed my eyes to go back to sleep when I realized that we had our first meet and greet of the tour today. I shot out of bed and shook Nash awake. The guys were already awake and were all doing their hair in front of the restroom mirror. I could see the restroom because they left the door open and Nash's bed faced it.

"Noooooo," he whined, turning over. I sighed and walked to the other side of the bed where he turned to. I pecked his lips and waited for him to react. "If you wake up now, there's more where that came from," I said, nonchalantly, as I pranced away. He shot out of bed and into the restroom.

I chuckled and walked out of his room, into my own, where Mahogany was doing her makeup in front of a mirror.

I smiled at her and she smiled back. "Where were you?"

"Nash's."

"Ooooh," she laughed as she did her contour.

I laughed. "It's not like that. I had a nightmare." She nodded.

I got ready fairly quickly in black skinny jeans, a loose orangey crop top and black and white vans.

We headed over to the Nash's room where everyone else was also. "Finally, ready to go?" Shawn asked us as he stood up from the floor where he was sitting. We nodded and all of us headed to the elevator and went down to the lobby.

"Get ready," Carter said to me as we all walked towards the exit of the hotel.

"For what?"

"Just get ready." Aaron chuckled. My eyes widened with fear as I pushed the door open to be met with a large crowd of screaming fans being held back by dozens of security guards. As soon as they saw us the screaming got louder as they tried harder to push past the guards. I started freaking out as we walked through them, kind of like the red sea, and a couple of them even tried grabbing my hair. It was overwhelming and scary because some of them were shouting mean comments at me, so some of them obviously didn't like me. I didn't really check hate comments, so it never really got to me, but this really hurt.

"Run!" Mahogany shouted as we ran down the street towards our car that was parked in a hidden spot around the block.

When we finally got to the car and were about to get in, there was one little girl, probably 10, and her mom who managed to find us. "OH MY GOSH! IT'S REALLY YOU Y/N!" She shouted excitedly.

I started laughing out of joy as a few tears slipped out of my eyes, "You know me?"

"OF COURSE YOU'RE MY FAVORITE CELEBRITY! You're so nice and pretty and fantastical." She said as she jumped up and down.

"Awww thank you so much. You're so adorable I wish you were my sister. You won't believe how much that means to me, " I said as I began crying tears of joy. Although I wasn't a celebrity, I wasn't going to argue with her. I ran to her and engulfed her in a hug, making sure to squeeze her tightly.

"Can I have a picture?" She asked shyly after we let go.

"Of course." I smiled and we took a picture.

I piled into the car with everyone else and we drove to the meeting center. Once we arrived, a bunch of fans were waiting outside and began screaming when we got out of the car. Thankfully, there was more security here.

We entered the building where a worker gave us a tour. "And here...it the area where you guys will stay to meet fans and take pictures after you do your little performance on that stage over there," the guy explained as he pointed around. We all nodded and I thanked. He walked off as he spoke into the mic that was attached to her shirt.

We all hung out backstage and then a female worker came over to us, "the show starts in two minutes, so get out there." Nash nodded and got up along with everyone else.

"Are you okay with staying backstage?" He asked as he stood up.

"Of course." I smiled. He smiled back and pecked my lips before running on stage.

~~~~After performance~~~~

Their little show was over, so now it was the meet and greet time.I was still sitting backstage, which was fine by me because there was a whole table with free food. I sat down on the couch after getting a plate of grapes and popped one into my mouth. I looked up at my phone to check on Nash, who I could see from my seat.

I almost spit the grape out when I saw it. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm overreacting. But, maybe, I'm right. He was taking a picture with a fan and when he turned to give her a kiss on the cheek, she turned so that he kissed her on the lips.

He kissed her on the fucking lips.
