Taylor and I head into the other room. I sit down on the bed and he leans against the wall.
"I just wanted to let you know that Carter made that picture that you two took his home screen." Taylor informs me.
Carter's POV
I feel jealous. That should be me in there. I made the first move with Allie, but I'm a pussy unlike Taylor who actually had the guts to hold her hand. I'm mentally slapping myself.
6 minutes have passed, and I'm waiting anxiously for them to come out. When they finally do, I see that Allie is wearing Taylor's bandana. Shit. I should just stop trying.
"Okay." Taylor is up next. "Hayes, truth or dare?"
"Truth." He replies.
"What do you honestly think of Madison Beer?" As soon as Taylor says this, Hayes sighs.
"Honestly, I don't even like her. I feel like she's dating me just for the celebrity attention it gives her. I wanna break up with her, but I would feel bad if I did." I'm not surprised by this. They do a few more rounds of it, until finally it's Nash's turn and he picks me.
"Dare." I say without a second thought.
"Well I'm stealing this from Aaron, but I dare you to go into the other room with Allie for 15 minutes. So we go.
"So, it's not really my business, but why are you wearing Taylor's bandana?" She looks confused when I say this, like she forgot that she was wearing it.
"Oh, um he gave it to me..." She looks down, "He told me about your home screen." Seriously. I trusted them with that. But then she says, "it's no big deal. I would've done the same if I had the picture. Because you are Carter Reynolds after all." She laughs at me. I smile back. We just sit in silence until I hear Jack J tell at us that our fifteen minutes are up.
Allies POV
Just before Bailey and I leave for the night, Taylor catches me.
"Take a photo with me?" I smile and he holds out his phone. He snaps the picture, and I wave goodbye to him, and he winks at me in return.
••••
As soon as I get into bed, my phone buzzes. A twitter notification. I slide it open and it's the picture of Taylor and I. The caption says "Hey Beautiful☺️" and I can't help but smile at the picture either. I'm looking at the camera, but he started looking at me just when the picture took. It is the perfect picture. He posted it 3 minutes ago, and there is already 250 comments; so I look through them.
@magconcaniff: you lucky bastard
@dallasbae: BISH WHET
@yocaniff: idk I kinda ship it
@taylorxoismine: what's this bitches username imma beat her ass
@magconlife1234: back off Taylor is mine.
I read through most of them, and was pretty disgusted by time I was finished. When I refreshed the comments, one new comment stood out to me.
@mrscaniff: fucking slut you're worse than Madison beer. Get a life instead of screwing all the Magcon boys you whore.
I cannot believe my eyes. My first picture with anyone recognizable, my first anything online that has to do with Magcon, and I'm screwing all of them?
I'm not upset, no. But I'm really angry.
"Holy shit Allie." Bailey yells from the other room. I run in to make sure everything is ok.
"What is it?"
"Dude that picture of you and Taylor is everywhere now. Almost all of the fan accounts I follow on Instagram have posted them and asked their followers their thoughts on the photo." Bail explains. I sink down in the chair that's in her room.
"My mom is gonna kill me oh god."
"Why?" Bailey asks me awfully concerned.
"Because my mom doesn't want me to get too open on social media... Because of..."
"Just tell Taylor then." She says to me as if it's so easy.
"Bailey!! You can't just tell someone you barely know that your dad is a fucking serial killer." I feel tears about to fall, but fight them back. Bailey gets up and gives me a hug.
"Go to bed, and try to get some sleep. Have fun while you're here, and you can worry about this other crap when we get home." She releases our hug and smiles at me. So I do what she says and go to bed. But I don't sleep a single wink that night. At about 4:00a.m. I save the picture of Taylor on my camera, and as stupid as it sounds considering Carter did it, but I make it my lock screen. Just as I start to doze off, my phone buzzes again.
Hey it's Taylor😊 Carter gave me your number
Hey you(: what are you doing up so early?
I think I could ask u the same question... Haha but idk couldn't sleep.
Oh, well I'm gonna go for a run, talk to you later
Byee
I grin and hug my phone to my chest. There's one week left here in Orlando, and I guess I should enjoy it while I can. Quickly, I change into a blue sports bra, some nike shorts and blue Nike cross trainers. By time I get ready, tiptoe out of our room and make it down the stairs to the main floor, it's 4:55. It's still dark outside, but I don't mind.
I usually start at 4:30 and end at 5:30, but I don't feel like going for a very long run today. I start out in the parking lot and end up going over a bridge. I've been running for 10 minutes and I decide to turn around and go back. I put my music on shuffle, and before I know it I'm back at the hotel.
As I walk toward the stairwell, I see Shawn and Aaron come out of the elevator, so I jog over.
"Hey guys." I greet them.
"Where'd you just come from, a strip club?" Aaron laughs at my outfit.
"Hah, very funny. Try 'The staying in shape club'"' I retort. I wave at them and head to the stairs.
AARONS POV
"Holy shit she's toned." I whisper to Shawn as Allie walks away, and he bursts out laughing.
"I was expecting you to comment on her ass, Aaron." He says in between laughs. We're standing in front of the elevator door, when I hear it ding and open, revealing Carter.
"What did I miss?" Carter raises and eyebrow at Shawn, who is currently (still) laughing.
He finally calms down enough to talk.
"All I have to say is, you'll be one lucky guy if you get the girl." He turns serious again.
"I'm a bit confused..." Carter admits.
"She came in from her run like two minutes ago, and I'll I have to say is, damn." Shawn tries to explain, but Carter still looks dumbfounded.
"Look, all I need to say is: good luck ever seeing Allie in that little clothes again." After saying this, Carter finally catches on, and then I realize that the rest of the boys are standing behind him in the elevator, looking intrigued and creeped out all at once.
"What are you guys talking about...?" Hayes looks at me. Everyone else nods their heads in agreement.
"Ugh okay. Allie came in from her run and, well, you kinda had to see her to understand..." I can feel my cheeks going red. I always say these things at the wrong time. But all the boys seem to understand, and start smiling/laughing. I just roll my eyes and keep walking.
"But what he was saying is that you'll probably never see her like that again." Shawn says, but holds back his laughter this time. Jack G pipes in.
"No, unless we take her to the beach."
