>>>A/N I'm sorry my chapters are so long, I like to fit a lot into one chapter! Also Comment your favorite scene/part?<<<

I woke up dizzy lying in a big bed. The sheets were blue and the comforter was a dark red. My head was killing me. I looked around the room and I saw I desk and chair with a closed laptop on one side, big dresser across from it, and a studio light next to the bed. It was only 5:30pm and I couldn’t find my phone, the only way I could tell the time was the vontage clock hanging above the door.

I got out of the bed a slowly walked to the door, turning the knob slightly to look around the hallway. Nobody. I walked out and crept to the stairs, I heard laughter coming from downstairs. I went down the steps and saw all the guys. I tried to walk up to them but I slipped on the hardwood floor from my dizziness and lack of shoes. They all looked and me and Nash ran to help me up.

“How ya feeling?”  He gently rubbed my back with one and hand helped me with the other. I balanced myself out and brushed myself off.

“I’m good I just need to get food in me.” My stomach growled and I looked around me. “Wait where are we?” I scratched my head and scrunched my nose in confusion. They all kinda laughed and some of them left but Matthew, Carter, Nash, and Aaron.

“I’ll make ya a mean PB&J” offered Aaron, he had scurried away before I could even respond or give thanks. Matthew and Nash sat on either side of me.

“You fainted at the venue, Matt carried you to the car and sat with you until meet and greats were over.” Stated Nash.

I suddenly felt very guilty. I made Matthew miss the rest of the meet and great, took over somebodies bed, and now have Aaron making me food. I didn’t want to be here, not in a rude way but, because I was in everyone’s way.

“Thank you guys for everything. I should really get going.” I tried to stand up but my legs turned to jelly. Matthew once again caught me and sat me back down. Nash nervously rubbed his arm and started to laugh.

“We still have the show! Plus we are a good 45 minutes from your house missy.” He patted my back and handed me my phone.

“we texted your mom and said you spending the night out with your friend ‘Karla’. Matt told me why you were leaving so we are going to show you the Magcon way of having fun.” I shook my head vigorously. There was no way I was spending a night at this house.

“No, No I don’t want to take over your house.” This time they both laughed, Aaron had come back with my sandwich.

“This is our friends’ house, we are not staying here. For the most par we all live in the LA area.” Nash said between laughs, I could feel my face redden.

“So then where are ‘we’ staying?” I looked at both of them nervously, also taking a bite of my sandwich. They both grinned and looked at each other.

“We checked out of the hotel today, sooo you get to see our house!” Nash yelled and they all three jumped up and started dancing, and Matthew ended up being a dinosaur?

After the show we all pile into a van and got driven to a house, Carter had bought me a monster so I was a little hyper. I was getting more comfortable with Nash, Matthew, and Carter, and also avoided Taylor and Cameron. When we got to the house everybody (except me) ran through the house to the pool out back. I was left to follow the loud screams and laughs to the pool. I had put my phone on the counter, just in case. They were all in boxers or something else of that nature swimming and splashing.

“Alice jump in!” Hayes yelled.  I shook my head, there was no way I was stripping and getting into the pool. Before I knew it I was getting thrown into the pool, by Cameron.

I coughed and gagged and climbed out. I was so upset, I used Cameron’s shirt to dry my face then went and sat in the bathroom. A few minutes later I heard Carter knocking on the door.

“Hey Alice? It’s Carter, don’t pay attention to him he was trying to be funny. I then heard Matthew’s voice.

“Come on Alice, we won’t hurt you.” He tried to reassure.

The makeup I had (well what was left) was smudged all over my face, I looked terrible I wasn’t letting anyone see me. I heard them whisper among themselves and finally I heard the door being unlocked. Crap. The stupid key above the door.

“Look who we found!” Carter pretended to be surprised which made me laugh.

“Let’s get you washed up.” Matthew said helping me up, both of them leading me to the stairs.

I was given a big magcon sweatshirt and some old sweatpants; we found a rubber band to tie my hair with (yikes!). At this point I was just tired and wanted to have no more ‘magcon fun’. I thanked both the guys for their generous actions and hugged them both, followed by a blush.

“I know this is going to sound ungrateful, but do you know where I’m crashing?” The both smiled warmly.

“Hush you are far from ungrateful girl.” Carter said in his best female voice, which made me fill the hall with an echoed laugh.

“I guess you could sleep in my bed, I’ll take the floor?” Matthew spoke, before I could reply Cameron came running up the steps.

“We are doing shots! Come on!” he yelled then ran back down. I looked at them both a shook my head. I hated drinking, I was not dealing with that. They both seemed to understand.

“Well I wanna party while Jack and Jack are here.” Carter stated and I motioned him to go have fun.

It was just Matthew and I so he showed me his room which was surprisingly clean compared to Carters. He gave me an unopened toothbrush and I went to brush my teeth, I used his face wash to wash up. I came out and he was smiling at the T.V.

“You can sleep in your bed you know? As long as you don’t get touchy with me.” I blushed, also feeling bad about using all of his stuff.

He smiled and gave me a poke to the side.

“The left side is mine.” He winked and jumped into his bed, pulling back the covers a motioned me to climb in. I had never had any contact with a guy and now I’m going to be sleeping with one? This was awkward. I climbed in and rolled on my side facing away from Matthew.

“Thank you for everything Matthew.” I said rather quietly hoping he had heard my thanks and wasn’t already asleep.

“You can call me Matt, and no problem.” I could feel his smile

We both drifted sleep, to the sounds of screaming, yelling, laughing and very, VERY loud music.
