    When we arrived to the station, Carter, Shawn, Matt, Ava, and I climbed out of Ava's car. Sam, Jack J, Jack G, and Nash got out of Jack's car. Taylor and Hayes got a ride from that dude Wilson. We all followed him inside.

    "What'd you do before we had Ava's car?" I questioned Jack.

    "We had an SUV but it's at my grandparents."

He looked around.

    "I'd like to ask Jack some questions first, the rest of you can help yourself to some coffee or just wait around. It won't be long." Wilson lead Jack into the questioning room.

    Jack's POV:

    "So, tell me all about what you know and what you don't."

    I told him everything.

    "Okay so I'm puzzling together what you said, and I just can't see how someone broke in, hit your friend's head so hard that he went into a coma, while in the same room with many people. You all just slept through that?"

    "I, guess? I don't know." I said. Does he think one of us had something to do with this?

    "Would any of you do anything to hurt this boy?" He looked me in the eyes.

    I got mad. I leaned over the table and looked him dead into the eyes.

    "Listen, if you think one of us did that to Cameron you're DEAD wrong. We're all like brothers, I've been with them for long enough to know that they'd never, ever do something like that. Okay?" I sat back into my seat.

    "What about those two girls? How long have you known them?" He looked at me.

    God forbid he tries to place the blame on Paige or Ava. I'd die.

   "A few days..?" I was annoyed.

   "So you don't know anything about them?"

    "I do. I know that they wouldn't do that either. Why are you trying to blame someone? This is so pointless. It was obviously a break-in. I don't even know why you're wasting your time"

 

     "Listen, I'm sorry if I'm coming off the wrong way. I'm just trying to find a solution. I'm not trying to put anything on anyone. I'm sorry."

    "Can I leave?" I stood up. He sighed.

    "Go ahead." He stood up and opened the door for me.

    "Can you not harass my friends? Thanks." I walked out.

    "Can I see you just for a moment?" He motioned Paige to come in the room.

    "Excuse me? I told you not to harass anybody else. We're leaving. We don't even have to be here." I rolled my eyes.

    "Jack it's fine. Questions are nothing. We all know none of us did anything." She walked in the room.

   I feel like shit for putting her through this stuff already. I just barely met her.

    Paige's POV:

   Wilson closed the door. And gave me a seat to sit in. He sat across from me.

   "What's your name?" He asked.

   "Paige Holland."

   "You live here in Omaha?"

   "In Ralston actually."

    "So I think Jack made it pretty clear that him and his friends have nothing to do with it. I asked him about you and the other girl, he said you have nothing to do with it either." He clasped his hands together.

   "Kay.." I looked around. I put my hands under my thighs.

   "How long have you known Jack?" Oh boy.

  "About 3 days..? I met him at the restaurant I work at. He was with all the boys."

   "Was the friend that's in the hospital there?"

   "His name is Cameron. And yes." He was making me mad.

   "What was he like?"

   "Sweet, flirty, really funny. He's so nice to everyone. He loves his fans, and he's always happy and smiling. He has hard times too but he always puts on a smile for people." Tears came to my eyes.

    "Oh, fans?" He looked curious.

    "Well all those boys out there, including Cameron, are kinda famous. They do Vines and other stuff and they got famous from social media. They have millions of fans.." I looked at him. He was writing it down.

    "It's a game changer when someone is very popular. A random boy at school has pretty much nobody that would want to hurt him for no reason, and thousands of people want to hurt Justin Bieber just because he's famous, you know what I'm saying?"

   "...Yeah I guess."

   "But it does make me wonder. It might have been a stranger who was there to rob the place, rather than having a plan to hurt Cameron. That might of just been in the moment." He looked confused.

   "I don't know..." I was still thinking about Cameron. I wanted to leave.

   "Were you a fan of these boys before you met?"

    "Of course. I love them."

   "Who's your favorite?" He smiled. I think he was trying to lighten the mood.

    "Jack and Cameron. But they're all really my favorite." I smiled.

   "Alright, well that's all I needed to know. Thanks for being helpful. I appreciate it.

   "No problem." He stood and opened the door for me. I walked out and all the boys were looking at me.

    "You all seem like great kids. We'll get to the bottom of this, and I hope Cameron will be okay. I'll send him my best wishes. Thanks for coming in guys."

   We all said bye and went outside.

    "He was like a different person after he talked to you." Jack said as we walked to the cars.

   "She's charming." Matt winked at me.

   "She's cute too." Taylor looked at me.

   "I like her." Hayes came over and put his arm around me while we were still walking. I smiled and blushed. I think they were messing with Jack.

   Jack looked extremely annoyed. I laughed.

   "Ride shotgun with me Paige" Jack opened his door.

   "That okay with you Ava?" I pointed at Jack's Jeep. She nodded.

   "I call shotgun in Ava's car!" Nash got in her car.

   After we all loaded in, we were squished in both cars. Jack rolled down his window, and Nash rolled his down.

   "Let's go to the hospital again and visit Cam. I'm going to go to the store and get him a few things." Jack said.

   "Oh that's a good idea." He looked at Ava. She agreed. "Let's go!" We set off to the grocery store.

   I say this so much, but how did I get so blessed with this? I'm hanging out with my idols and they all like me. One of them might even like-like me. And he's one of my favorites. I feel like I joined a family overnight... I'm so in love with the bond we have.. but I miss Cameron.
