Don't Let Me Go - **BOOK TWO** Jaime Preciado

Chapter 2; Girls Nights and Photoshoots.

-Carson-

The pizza and Chinese food had arrived soon after we disappeared upstairs. We’d gone down to eat and talk to the guys while we did so, much to my demise Jessica showed up while we were downstairs, and she was as snotty as ever. I ignored her most of the time, and only talked to Tay, Alex, and the guys, excluding Jaime. He was all wrapped up in Jessica.

Currently Tay, Alex, and I were back upstairs and I was in the middle of putting makeup on Alex. I didn’t think that it was going to be so fun, but I was laughing hysterically.

“Stop laughing what are you doing now?” Alex laughed and I quieted my laughs to snickers as I continued putting the pink eye shadow on his lids, and then the eyeliner.

“How’s it coming-- Oh My God.” Tay said and she started laughing once she saw the bright pink eye shadow and lipstick that I had put on Alex.

“I look ridiculous don’t I?” Alex laughed and I returned it not able to hold in my laughter any longer.

“Hold on one more thing.” I said making myself quit laughing as I picked up the mascara and started putting it on his lashes.

Once I was done I put the mascara down and looked at Alex, I started laughing so hard that I ended up on the floor clutching my stomach. Alex looked at me like I was nuts for a minute before he looked in the mirror and screamed like a girl making Tay start laughing with me, and my laughter to get louder.

“I look like a transvestite!” He whined grabbing a makeup wipe and began taking it off.

I laughed for a few more seconds before I sat up catching my breath. Alex just rolled his eyes at us and continued up wiping the makeup off of his face.

I stood up off the floor and dive bombed on my bed; they both laughed at me and joined me, Alex popping in the first chick flick after he’d finished removing my masterpiece. I was in the middle of Alex and Tay; we all snuggled up together and waited for the movie to begin.

Soon the opening credits for Romeo and Juliet were on the screen. I smiled and buried myself further under the covers.

By the end of the movie I was crying like a baby, feeling absolutely ridiculous for it. This movie always got to me though, and it made me cry every single time without fail. I wished I had ever found a love that strong, one that could carry through any storm. I wished I had someone who could love me that much.

Alex stood up and stretched popping the next movie into the DVD player before climbing back into my bed, in nothing but a pair of track pants.  Tay and I were snuggled together, the way it usually happened because I love my bitch.

“Why do I always get left out of the cuddle party?” Alex pouted and I laughed shaking my head.

“Because this is my bestie and I love her, you’re just weird.” Tay said making me laugh and look at Alex who was still pouting, but he quickly shook it off and continued watching the movie.

By the time the movie was half way over I was already having trouble keeping my eyes open. I could hear Tay’s soft breathing beside me and I knew she was asleep, so I closed my eyes not moving from my spot beside Tay.

-The Next Morning-

I was woken up by the sound of hushed whispers, and a camera click. I internally rolled my eyes, and tried to go back to sleep. I knew it was the guys, but I didn’t know why they were here.

“That’s so sad, poor Alex, he got left out of Carson and Tay’s snuggles. He looks so lonely over there.” I recognized this voice immediately—it was Vic.
