Britney's POV

My neck and back hurt. I woke up and noticed I wasn't in my room. I looked around and saw it was a hotel room though. Then I remembered what happened last night. Taylor. The mall. That girl. That bleach blonde headed brat that Taylor was flirting with.

I heard a toilet flush and Matt came out.

"Hey Brit. Sorry if I woke you." Matt told me while rubbing his eyes tiredly.

"It's okay. I just woke up." I replied. "What time is it?"

"Almost 9 in the morning." He said sitting on the bed.

Wow. It seems a lot later. "Another day of Magcon right?" I asked.

"Yeah. Yesterday was VIP today is everybody. Starts at 1 if you want to get ready and grab something to eat?" He replied.

"I'm just going to go to my room and change. But thanks anyways." I told him with a slight smile.

"Alright. See you later." He said smiling.

I opened the door and before I left I turned to him. "Thank you for picking me up yesterday."

"No need to thank me." He replied grinning.

"Of course there's a need. See you later Matt." I said before I walked out the door.

When I walked to mine and Chelsea's room, it was unlocked. God Chelsea. Learn to lock the door.

I walked in and she was still sleeping.

I laid down in my bed, plugged my phone in since it was only at 57% and went on twitter and Instagram.

Since it was Thursday, I decided to do a Throwback Thursday. I found a picture that my mom posted on Facebook of me and Cameron with cheesy smiles and we had cake on our face from when I was like 2 and Cam was around 6. I screenshotted it and opened Instagram.

I posted it with the caption: throwback with Cam :) @cams_instagram

I pressed post and scrolled through my feed. I liked a couple of the fans' edits and followed a few.

By the time I was done, Chelsea had woken up and was on her phone.

She hadn't seen me yet so I decided to smack cam her. I opened up vine and whispered into the camera ," smack cam." I reversed the camera direction and walked behind Chelsea. I held down the screen, waited 1 second and slapped her cheek.

"SMACK CAM." I yelled in her ear.

She screamed and jumped off the bed.

I fell on the ground in laughter and wasn't able to get back up.

"What the heck was that for!" Chelsea yelled from the opposite side of the bed.

"I dunno. I just wanted to." I told her shrugging.

"Well thanks Brit." She told me sarcastically.

I posted the vine and helped Chelsea up.

"Thanks. Do you want to go eat breakfast at IHOP?" Chels asked me.

"Sure. Sounds fun." I thought of when Matt asked me to breakfast. I wasn't planning on going, I just need a break from boys with what happened last night.

"Alright I'm going to get dressed and I'll meet you in the lobby." She told me walking to the bathroom.

"WHAT HAPPENED! Are you guys okay?!" My brother yelled slamming the door against the wall.

"What? Oh! I just smack cam'ed Chelsea and she screamed." I said chuckling.

"Whew. I thought someone got killed. I'm glad my sister takes after me." Cam said putting his arm around me.

"Yeah. Learned from the best." I told him smiling and laughing.

"What are you guys doing today before Magcon?" He asked.

"Just going to breakfast with Chelsea at IHOP." I replied.

"Ooh. I love their pancakes. Can I join? Cam asked.

"Nope. Girls day out. Sorry Cam." I said shaking my head.

"Oh. GIRLS DAY. Gotcha." He said putting air quotes around girls day and yelling it.

"Shut up! People are sleeping." I smacked his arm.

"So..? They'll have to get up eventually." He said rolling his eyes.

"You are so annoying." I also rolled my eyes.

"Where's Chelsea?" He asked.

"In the bathroom, Mr. Nosy." I said walking back to my bed.

"I heard my name?" Chelsea asked brushing her long wet hair.

"Oh it's just Cam." I told her while texting my mom.

"Cameron!" She yelled happily hugging him.

"Chelsea!" He said hugging back.

He pulled away and gave her a small kiss.

"Come on love birds. Chelsea you ready? Cam, goodbye." I said pushing him out the door.

"Yeah I'm ready. Bye Cam!" She said blowing him a kiss and smiling.

He "caught the kiss" and blew one back and shut the door.

Chelsea and I got our shoes on and went to Mahogany's room. I knocked on the door but no one answered.

I opened the door to reveal many screaming boys and Mahogany sitting on the bed with her headphones and on Instagram.

I tapped her on the shoulder. She looked up at me and smiled.

"What's up Britney?" She asked.

"Me and Chelsea are going to IHOP. Do you want to go?" I asked loudly over the boys' noise.

"Please, I need to get away from them." She said chuckling. She grabbed her bag and we headed out the door.

"See you later Cam!" I yelled.

"Be safe! Love you!" He yelled back.

"I will! Love you too!" I replied.

We went down to the lobby and walked out the doors. The IHOP was 3 blocks away, so we decided we would just walk.

We talked about what we were planning to do at Magcon later and then talked about boys.

"Brit, are you okay?" Mahogany said and Chelsea looked at me.

"Yeah." I lied.

We arrived at IHOP and immediately got a table. We sat down and the waiter came up to us.

"Hello, welcome to IHOP. May I start you all of with some drinks?" He asked politely.

"I'll take a sweet tea." Mahogany said.

"Water, please." I said smiling politely.

"I'll also have water, please. Thank you." Chelsea said opening her menu.

Mahogany asked Chelsea about her life and as Chelsea was talking something something caught my eye.

I looked across the room to the front door. I saw a hint of bleach blonde.

Before she could make eye contact with me I got up and Mahogany and Chelsea looked at me confused. "Are you okay?" Chelsea mouthed to me.

I hurried to the bathroom and opened the door. I went to the mirror and just looked at my reflection. No. She's not here. She can't be. I thought. I splashed cool water on my face, waited a few seconds then opened the door back up.

"What's the rush?" She said smirking at me.

That bitch.
