unexpected

thirty one

the music in my earbuds was on full volume, which still wasn't loud enough to block out the bickering from everyone around me.

"maybe if you would actually take care of yourself for once instead of worrying about kylie so much, then you would be a mature adult who doesn't sleep through his alarm and can board his flight on time. but nooooooo, mr. cameron dallas thinks he's the man who is capable of adopting a teenager while still figuring out how to manage his own life." bart raised his voice causing more attention than we already had.

"don't even go there with me right now bart. you know damn well I was not the only one who slept through their alarm this morning. maybe if i got enough sleep last night instead of meeting with you, this wouldn't have happened. but, you insisted on talking to me until the early hours of the morning. why don't i just inform everyone on what our little meeting was about?" cameron's eyes were filled with rage. i have never seen him this angry before.

"cameron no-" bart started but cameron quickly interrupted him.

"guys listen up. bart has been secretly meeting with me about ending magcon so he can just collect everyone's and start a new tour without us"

this caused a lot of the guys to start fighting even more. some fans were surrounding the scene and recording it. i shut my eyes so i could block out everything, but i could still hear their voices.

"bart is this true?" shawn's voice cracked and that broke my heart. none of them deserve this.

"listen i can explain" bart tried to speak again.

"no just shut the fuck up man. you have been playing us all since the beginning and we've had enough." taylor cut him off.

i feel someone tap my shoulder a few times. i take out one of my earbuds and look over at the person. it just so happens to be matthew.

"come on let's go get some food. you don't need to be involved in this" he told me. i just nodded and followed him to a nearby restaurant.

"i'm sorry you had to witness that" matthew said as we sat down at a table.

"it's whatever really. i never even liked bart" i said honestly.

"no one did. i don't even know why we agreed to this" he shook his head.

"what's happening right now?" i asked.

"i'm not exactly sure. i thought he was just mad that we missed the flight but i guess there is more to it. we can find out later. let's not focus on that right now" matt explained.

"okay you're right" i agreed.

"what do you want to eat? i'm going to order"

"chicken nuggets please" i smiled at him before he left.

my phone vibrated from my right pocket. i clicked the home button to see a text from nash.

'where did you go?'

i responded by telling him i went with matt to get food and i sent him the name of the place we were eating at.

before nash could respond, matthew showed up to the table with our food.

"damn that was fast" i chuckled.

"i know right. but i'm not complaining" matt said as he took a bite of his burger.

i ate the 6 chicken nuggets within 3 minutes and i was surprised. normally i never finish the meal. must've been hungry.

my phone buzzed again and there was another text from nash.
