Magcon Triangles

Chapter 16

Aaron's Pov-

It was midnight.

"So tomorrow?" I asked.

"Yes, we'll do it all tomorrow. For the 30th time Aaron." Taylor groaned.

"Good, because I don't think it's a good idea to go without sleep again. I mean I think her and I not speaking to each other might be why. It's been like three days sense I slept, I can't sleep it's too difficult when I feel like she hates me or thinks I hate her. I just want to talk to her I mean I could but she probably wouldn't listen." I started to babble.

"Aaron, go to sleep." He mumbled.

"It's too hard everything is liked coated with her sent." I explained.

"Well try to then after tomorrow you should be able to."

I nodded then went to my room and attempted to fall asleep.

The air was warm but at the same time chilled. Scarlett was next to me in a beautiful blue dress, she gazed up at the stars. Noticing how she was moving her hands up and down her arms to keep herself warm I pulled off my jacket and placed it on her shoulders. She looked to me and smiled, then moved a bit closer to me.

"Do you like anyone?" She asked without looking at me, she was just too intrigued by the stars.

Inside I paniced, partically wanting to scream 'yes! You!' but that over powered by the possibiliy of her laughing at me.

"Um, there is this one girl." I managed to choke out.

"Who?" She turned looking stunned.

"None of the stars shine as bright as her eyes." I smiled then moved closer. "I think she's the most beautiful girl in the world."

"She must be very lucky. You should ask her out." She suggested.

"She'd never say yes, she's too perfect for me, the thing is her and I have been friends for as long as i can remeber. See all the stars count them, that's nowhere near how long I've loved her . The blades of grass are less than how many times I think of her. And I'm not gonna say who she is because she's here in the park. near me." I honestly hadn't meant to let the last sentance out it just kind of slipped.

"Aaron do you like me?" Oh crap she figured it out, I could lie but it was too late I found myself nodding. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was scared you'd laugh at me and I'd ruin our friendship. I couldn't ruin our friendship and now I probably have by confessing how I feel so go ahead and laugh in my face." I stood up.

"Where are you going?" She reached for my hand. "I'm not going to laugh and you haven't ruined anything I've felt that way for awhile but didn't say anything because I didn't want to be hurt." She stood next to me now.

"R-Really."

"Yeah." She stepped closer.

"Scarlett will you be my girlfriend?" I put her hands in mine.

"Yes! Aaron I would love to." She laced our fingers together.

We both took our time to lean in. Our eyes locked. Suddenly we were each other's first kiss.

Shooting awake with her pillow in my arms. I could forget our ever so carefully concocted plan-even though it wasn't much of a plan. Running down to her room and pounding on the door. Getting her to answer it the when she opened it blurting the question. Then hoping she'd answer it.

But I wouldn't.

I won't.

Scarlett's Pov-

I tossed and turned trying to sleep. Looking at the clock, it's three in the morning. Every night it's a differnt time. I find myself whispering to see if Mahogany is still awake, needing someone to talk to.

I didn't want to leave the room but everyone insisted we went out to eat. Having lost my appetite I just sat there, everytime we went to eat.

"Scarlett aren't you hungry?" Nash would ask.

"No."

"You need to eat something. Here have some of mine."

"I told you I'm not hungry." I'd mumble.

Everyday. For 3 days. Followed by sleepless nights.

Finally I woke up. I mean I actually slept through the night. It just so happened that I was woken up by someone knocking on the door.

Groaning I trudged over to open it.

"Hello." Hayes' voice perky and hyper, before the door was even open.

"Ugh, what do you want." I mumbled.

"Well I want to go get Starbucks but Nash says I'm not aloud to leave the hotel by myself and none of the guys will go with me, so will you go with me?" He explained.

"Sense I'm in no mood to argue with you Hayes and I know you will if I say no, why not." I sighed all in one breath.

"Ok, let's go!" He smiled.

"I need fifteen minutes." I added.

He nodded.

I quickly showered, blow dried-then straightened-my hair, did my make up then got dressed in a plain grey crop-top with a gold zipper up the front and blue high waisted shorts. Then went down to his room.

"Ready?" I asked grabbing my bag then opening the door.

"Yup." He looked down at his phone then back at me.

We started towards the elevators, he hit one of the buttons. Being distracted by my phone I didn't notice his smirk at me. I looked up from my phone, then asked why he was smirking at me. He told me I wouldn't understand. We then just stood in elevator.

"Do you think I'm pretty in this?" I blurted.

Hayes nodded, "Yeah, I guess. Why?"

"Shawn asked me if I wanted help with getting Aaron back when I said yes he told me I could try acting more confident." I explained.

"So it matters if I think you're pretty?" He asked puzzled.

"No, well sort of it's hard for me to explain."

"Well try." He seemed eagar to understand.

"Well in a girl's mind-well in my mind anyway- it's like if some guy that a lot of girls find "hot" thinks you're pretty it makes you feel good." I put hot in air quotes.

"I know you're hurting so I'll let you in on a secret; we all think you are pretty the guys just won't admit it." He smiled.

I smiled at him.

"Maybe I shouldn't have told you that."

"Eh, I guess it helped." I shrugged, it felt good to know they thought that but at the same so much guilt was packed into one emotional state.
