The countdown continues with three days left of summer. I don't have the stress of wondering where I'm going to go now, but there's still the pain of saying goodbye to everyone, including Haley, especially Haley.

I don't really know what I'm going to do without having her by my side, of course she'll always be there, but it's not going to be the same. We're going to be miles apart.

All of the guys are out spending the day together doing whatever guys do. You see this is kinda the end of magcon, well at least all of the 'magcon boys' together.

Nash, Cam, Carter, and Hayes are all leaving MagCon to go on and do their own thing, and become even bigger, there's even talk of a movie.

Shawn's music career is really taking off, he's been asked to go on tour with Austin Mahone.

The Jack's have been spending a lot of time in the studios working on their music as well.

Where MagCon brought everyone together, they all have their own separate dreams to follow.

Everyone is sort of branching off to do their own thing, and while we'll always be a family, things are changing and I'm afraid it will never be the same.

Since all of the boys are spending the day together the girls decided to go on one last shopping spree here in Cali.

I declined. I honestly just wanted to spend the day alone. I'm not in the mood really. I'm in desperate need of some 'me' time. I don't seem to get much of it anymore.

I spent my day catching up on the latest 'Teen Wolf' and 'Pretty Little Liars' episodes while indulging myself with ice cream and Sour Patch Kids.

It was nice actually just lounging around in my pajamas, finally finding some time to relax.

TAYLORS POV

The boys and I all spent our day playing laser tag, just having a bit of fun together before we have to say our goodbyes in a few days.

We were now headed into the local subway to get some dinner before heading back to the hotel.

We all placed our orders and paid for the food before we all piled into separate booths. Cam, Nash, Matt, Dillion and I all sat together in a booth while the others sat in the nearest booths around us.

"So you and Haley are getting pretty serious are y'all going to try and make the long distance thing work?" Nash said turning to face Matthew.

"Yeah I think we're going to give it a shot. She really makes me happy. I think I might even love her." He blushed.

"We I think it's great. I'm happy for you bro." I encouraged him and gave him a bro smack on his shoulder.

"You and Parker finally made it offical? or so I've heard." Matt said, but it came out as more of a question.

"Yeah we did."

I couldn't help, but notice Cameron's face fall as he looked down at the table. What's wrong with him? is he not happy for us? I've finally found someone that I want to settle down with and actually have a stable relationship with. Why could he possibly not be happy for me?

No.

He can't.

We wouldn't.

Would he?

Is it possible Cameron has feelings for Parker?

Is that why he's not happy with us being officially a couple?

Why would he help me plan our dinner date if he had feelings for her?

My brain clouded with questions and possibilities. I can't lose Cameron as a friend no matter what. I definitely need to clear the air before we all leave in three days.

CAMERONS POV

I tried to hide my emotions as well as I could, but Taylor saw right through me.

The truth is, part of me is happy for the both of them because Taylor seems to really care about her and he seems to make Parker really happy, but part of me is breaking on the inside. Part of me wishes it was me she had fallen for, that it was me who held her until she fell asleep at night, that it was me who picked up all those broken pieces and put them back together.

But it wasn't me. It was Taylor.

I helped him plan their date because I wanted it to be perfect for her. I wanted to make her happy and if Taylor is her happiness then so be it. I would much rather live in misery and see her happy than the other way around.

I knew this moment was coming, but to hear the words fall from his mouth that they were officially a couple... well it hurt far more than I imagined.

After we all finished eating we started our walk back to the hotel. I walked behind the group as I let myself be isolated with nothing, but my thoughts.

"Hey man." I looked up to see Taylor was now walking beside me. "Are you okay? you didn't seem to happy about my news back there."

No. I'm not happy.

But it's too late for me to say anything now.

"Yeah I'm fine I'm just not feeling too well. I think Im getting a migraine from all those laser lights." yeah I'm a liar.

"Oh right. well I just wanted to make sure you were okay."

"I'm happy for you bro. Just treat her right, don't hurt her."

"I promise you I won't. I really care about her."

I nodded, but part of me didn't believe him.

Do I think he cares about her? yeah absolutely.

But will he keep his promise and not hurt her? well that on the other hand is something I find a little harder to believe.
