A/N Hello sorry I did not realize that I had posted chapter eight as a seperate story XD I'm updating in the next hour :)

The next morning I woke up to an empty room. I’m guessing Carter went to get food; I took the opportunity to shower. I turned on the shower, peeled off my clothes and hopped in. I washed my hair with strawberry shampoo and shaved my leg and arm pits. I heard the hotel door close so I quickly finished up and got dressed.

I put on my black ripped skinny jeans, green t-shirt, and white studded vest. I didn’t bother with shoes because I knew I wasn’t leaving yet, I exited the bathroom and coffee took over my senses.

“Hey sleepy head” I was slightly shocked to find Matt and not Carter.

“Hello” I hummed picking up the paper cup filled with the dark liquid

“You ready? Meet n’ Greet is in 15 minutes!” He smiled and handed me my breakfast sandwich. I glanced at my phone and it was already 3:00pm I almost dropped my food.

“How did I sleep so much?!” I gasped making him laugh

“It’s okay we all just woke up.” He reassured me.

 I opened the blinds to let in the sun’s rays, I winced at the brightness. I spun around to sit on the windowsill, Matt making his way towards me.

“How do you always manage to look so…so beautiful.” He hardly mumbled as he softly kissed my lips.

Electricity filled my body, butterflies fluttering in my stomach. He broke the kiss, both of us were blushing.

“I’m so sorry, I di-” he bagan to speak but I cut him off.

“It’s okay, I liked it.” I admitted making me turn a deeper red.

Before either of us could talk about what had happened Carter and Nash burst through the door.

“HELLO YOU TWO WE ARE BEING SUMMOND TO THE EVENTS ROOM!” Nash yelled picking me up off the windowsill throwing m over his shoulder causing me to drop everything.

“NASH! PUT ME DOWN!” I yelled hitting his back Matt and Carter both laughing.

I got carried down past the line of fans to our meet and greet spots. I was finally placed on the floor, I stumbled back causing Taylor to catch me. The photographers yelled for us to get in our order (Nash&Hayes, Cameron, Taylor, Carter, Matthew, Jack&Jack, Shawn, Aaron, then lastly me) and the first few fans were let in. they were emotional messes. This was going to be fun. After a few dozen fans one girl came up to me and scoffed.

“We all know you are doing Carter. Inside sources tell us you are even sharing a room. You better back off because he is mine.” She spat making me very uncomfortable.

“Sorry you think that, he is just my best friend.” I reassured her, she just rolled her eyes.

“Drop dead.” She hissed as she left the backdrop.

I had an uneasy feeling in my stomach. What if they all thought that? What if all the fans are just nice to be because I know the guys? What if the guys didn’t like me and I’m charity work? My thoughts were interrupted by the next fan. We simply greeted each other and she moved on. I glanced at the line and we only had five fans left. I could feel an anxiety attack coming but I wasn’t sure what to do. I looked at Aaron for help but he was busy with a fan, I spotted Carter finally. He was getting his phone off his table and I practically ran over to him.

“Carter!” I yelled in a hushed voice.

“Alice ohmygod you look like a ghost.” He stated placing a hand on my shoulder looking into my eyes.

“I f-feel like I’m going to p-pass out.” I stuttered looking around the room for an exit.

Carter whispered some things to our managers and walked my out of the room. He escorted me outside to a bench in the shade of a tree.

“Whats wrong?” he sounded concerned

Before I could complain Matt was in front of us panting out of breathe.

“Alice are you okay?” He flopped next to me giving me a side hug.

“I’m okay. Some ‘fan’ just said something to me that upset me.” I nodded not wanting to explain myself to Matt.

“Well if you were okay you wouldn’t have left, now spill.” Matt pressed on,

Carter glared at Matt for pressing me for answers. Honestly I didn’t mind but I didn’t want to get into that conversation out in the open.

“I just have bad anxiety, I was over thinking and I almost had an anxiety attack.” I slowly explained making sure he understood.

He nodded and stood me up, embracing me in a warm up. Carter cleared his throat making us break our connection.

“I’m going to tell the guys that you got overwhelmed.” He informed leaving Matthew and I alone.

I turned to Matt looking for a conversation to start but he beat me to it.

“I know that I’m not the best guy, but I like to think I could treat you right.” He informed staring straight into my dark brown eyes. Before I could speak he continued his pitch.

“Would you want to see a movie with me tonight?” He asked grabbing my right hand.

I was speechless. He was so sweet and thoughtful. I nodded politely and gripped his hand. I stood on my tip toes and gave him a small peck on the cheek.  We released each other’s hands and walked back into the hotel to find the rest of the guys.
