Reynolds vs. Johnson(a fight for love)

Chapter 17

*Esmer's POV*

"Esmer?!" Sam asked shocked.

"How long have you been standing there?" Carter asked worried.

"Long enough", I said with my arms crossed.

"Esmer it's not what it looks like I swear", Sam said.

"Really?! Because it looks like you two obviously don't care about Jack's feelings!" I yelled in there face drawing attention to us.(Esmer knows that Jack is Sam boyfriend, because Sam would tell her about there romance life, but she doesn't know about the Carter drama). I guess I was making to big of a scene because Sam and Carter covered my mouth and dragged me to a closet, and locked the door. Carter blocked it.

"What was that for?"I asked.

"Please let us explained", Sam said.

"Okay explain. This better be good", I said waiting to listen.

"Okay. The first time I saw Sam, I instantly liked her. I kept it to myself because we are cousins, but not blood related. Yes a kiss has happened every now and then, but we try to stop. It's just that we get so caught up in the moment. You know how that feels, because I saw you and Austin a few minutes ago. We know we shouldn't be doing this. Jack is her boyfriend and my friend. Can you please keep this a secret? I would hate to see there relationship fall apart just because I couldn't control myself", Carter explained.

"Ok. I'll keep my mouth shut. I kinda understand what you guys are going threw. Just try to stop all of it", I said.

"We will, thanks Esmer", Carter said then we all left the closet.

I saw Austin and Shawn come back stage. I hugged and congradulated them both. I forgot to introduce myself to everyone. It was awkward because everyone was just like. Who is this girl and why is she here?

"Oh I'm sorry. Hello my name is Esmeralda, but you can call me Esmer. I'm Sam's best friend in the whole world. I also kinda know Austin now", I said introducing myself.

"Well, nice to meet you. My name is Destiny and this is my boyfriend Brent", a girl said while pulling a boy with long brown hair close to her.

"I'm Cameron. This is Shawn and Jack and Carter", a boy with long spikey hair said pointing at three different other boys.

"Hi", they all said at the same time.

"Okay so now that we all got to know Esmer, it's time to get serious. According to my planner my next show is in 3 days in Ohio. I would spend one day rehearsing, so that will leave us with to days to hang out. The bus leaves at 8p.m. so be on the bus at that time", Austin told everyone. I felt awkward just being here listening to all the talk about the tour, so I casually tried to leave, but Austin saw me.

* Austin's POV*

"Esmer. Were you going?" I asked.

"I'm leaving. The concert is already over", she said. I walked up to her. I couldn't let a girl like this get away.

"No, you can't leave", I then grabbed her hands. " The way I feel towards you, I have never felt that way towards anyone before. When I kissed you I felt like I was gonna melt. I have a feeling your an amazing girl, and I want you to come on tour with me, and be my girlfriend", I said with the words flowing out of me like a river, while looking into her beautiful eyes.

"Austin we just met. This is crazy", she instantly replied.

"No what's crazy is ignoring this connection we have. Look even if you don't want to see me that way, I still need a stylist for my tour", I said easing down.

"Okay, ill give it a shot. Let me get to know the real Austin Mahone", she said. I'll go ask my parents, I already have alot of clothes since I'm staying with my Aunt", she said with a smile.

"Good. I have to go meet the VIP fans who bought tickets. I'll see you in a little bit", I then left.

*Sam's POV*

Everyone had went to get there stuff. Carter had went a different direction so I decided to follow him, but didn't want to make it obvious.

"Im gonna go use the restroom", I announced.

"Okay, we didn't need to know that girl", Destiny said creeped out.

I ran after Carter and made sure nobody saw me. I eventually caught up to him.

"Hey Carter slow down", I said out of breath.

"What's up?" he said. I waited until I caught my breath to talk.

"Okay so what are we gonna do about the kiss?" I asked.

"Ignore it and it won't happen again", he replied.

"We have been saying that for forever, and it still keeps on happening! I don't know why you keep on kissing me, but you just do", I say.

"Hey you act like you don't like it and I just can't control it, its the heat of the moment. I know it's wrong because we're cousins and you have a boyfriend, but-" he said while I interrupted him.

"But nothing! Jack has been faithful to me and I have to do the same. I know you can't control it, and since you can't, just stay away from me", I walked away feeling like such an a**hole, but I did what I had to do.

As I walked around just trying to get the guilt out of me. The thought of Carter kept crossing my mind, and I couldn't get it out if my head. The thoughts were about our kissing and how much I liked it. I kept on trying to get it out of my head, but it kept on coming back. I was more concerned about Carter's feelings than Jack's.

Why couldn't I get those thoughts out of my head?

Why was I more concerned about Carter's feelings?

Did I still like Jack?

Did I like Carter?

My mind was a big storm of confusion. I didn't know what to do or who to turn to for advice. I couldn't go to Destiny because its about her brother, and Esmer would give me a lecture about trust. I knew I had to turn to a guy I could trust and who would give me good advice. A guy who has been a great friend, and won't judge me or see me differently.

Brent.
