Darkness (A Magcon Fanfiction)

Chapter Three

Carter's POV

It's 2a.m., and I can't sleep for some reason. Maybe I'm just in a daze from tonight.

I unlock my phone, and click on my camera roll. My most recent photo is the one with Allie, so I look at it. This is one of my worse photos, but Allie looks amazing. I know it sounds weird, considering I met her only hours ago. But she's really gorgeous. I want to get to know her better.

I pop open messages, and send her one.

Hey, u awake?

It doesn't take her long to reply.

Yeah.:/

Well that's interesting considering you told me you were really tired earlier.

Yeah, I uh... Just can't sleep is all. I kinda felt awkward back there.

You shouldn't have. I think everyone really liked you

Thanks I think... Well I'm gonna go.

Oh okay, so will I see you at magcon tomorrow?

For sure. Bye(:

I go back to my photos, and make a brave decision to make the picture of us my home screen. I just have to remember to not let the boys use my phone. Eventually, I start to doze off.

•••The Following Morning•••

"Wake up Carter!!" Matt is right up in my face, shaking me to get up. I look at the clock, it's only 5 o'clock. I only had three hours of sleep. I groan, and get up out of my bed. And then I remember, my phone! I dig around in my covers, and can't find it. Matthew gives me a weird look, then I find it under my pillow.

"Let's go get breakfast..." He says, sounding weirded out.

••••5 Hours Later••••

We just finished setting up for magcon, which starts in just a couple hours. My phone buzzes as I hop off the stage, it's a text from Allie.

Hey! Getting ready for magcon I assume?

Yeah I am. U should come down here.

Nah. I'll just wait like a normal person;) well I'll cya later.

Bye(:

Once I finish texting her, Nash walks over here.

"What's the huge smiley face about?" He winks at me. I blush and try to hide my phone, "Ooh lemme see! He snatches my phone from my hand before I can get a word in edgewise.

"EVERYONE COME SEE THIS" he screams at the top of his lungs, "Carter's wheeling, Carter's wheeling." Nash chants as all the boys come crowding in. I try to get my phone back, but fail.

Pretty much everybody comes at once, and looks at my home screen.

"Carterrrrr" Jack G smirks at me. Nobody is taking it weirdly, except for Taylor. He looks almost, hurt. Most of them are patting me on the back and stuff.

"Guys, calm down. We just met yesterday, it's not like we're dating. I just wanted a contact picture is all." I grab my phone back, and sigh.

"Oh, so you have her number?" Aaron gives me a mysterious look.

"I want her number too!" Jack J yells.

"Me too!" Says Matt.

"Guys seriously. Calm down, yes I have her number, no big deal." I say. Taylor looks even more pissed off. He gets up and leaves.

Allies POV

I kind of want to look good today, so I choose a floral patterned peplum top, with black shorts and pink gladiator sandals. I remember Taylor wearing a bandana yesterday, and I want to try out that style, but I don't have any. I spend a bit of time putting my hair into curls, then prop some sunglasses on my head for later.

"Wow, Allie. For someone who doesn't care about these boys you sure look good." Bailey laughs at me.

"Eh, I woke up like this." I flip my hair with the back of my hand and we both burst out laughing. We hear knocking on the door.

"Hello, ma'am, and ma'am. You have a car rental waiting outside the hotel. You are free to drive it." The man talking to us hold a set of keys in his fingertips and I grab them before Bailey can.

"Thank you sir!" I exclaim as we push past him and race towards the lobby, "hey, I have the keys so I get to drive!" I say to Bail.

We reach the outside of our hotel and our car is waiting for us just like he said. It's nothing special, just a silver Nissan car, but it doesn't matter. We hop in, and start on our way to the centre where it's being held.

••••

We grab our spots, first row, front and center. There are already tons of people here, and we're pretty early.

Soon enough though, the show starts. They do some pretty funny stuff. Then 'Wiggle' by Jason Derulo comes on and all of them start grinding. After that, Shawn comes to the front of the stage.

"So I usually sing a song during every show, but today I'm gonna do something a little different. I'm gonna sing one line. This one is dedicated to one of the boys up here who I think fell in love with a girl he barely knows last night." Everyone on stage snickers at Shawn's comment.

"His voice is angelic I swear." Bailey tells me.

He starts to sing, and I realize she is completely right about that.

"Hey girl I must admit it," Shawn sings, "haha, you got his heart don't know how you did it."

Carters POV

As Shawn sings these words I know that every girl in the crowd thinks it's about them. But it's not. It's about one girl in this group of 1000 girls. I scan the crowd to find her, just to find her staring at me, smiling.

It's Allie.
