living on the edge

Chapter 10: Last Day

I didn't answer and just closed my eyes after Mahogany fell asleep. My brain was too busy and I couldn't sleep. I checked my phone, I've been laying here for an hour. I sighed and picked up my phone.

iMessage: Cameron Dallas

Cam?

__

About two minutes he answered asking if I was alright.

iMessage:

yeah, I can't sleep...

I felt tears form behind my eyes thinking about what was happening when I hit send. There's was a light knock at the door shortly after so I answered it. It was Cameron. He saw the tears lightly flowing down my cheeks. "Heyy..." he whispered pulling me into a hug. He closed the door behind him and I sat on my bed. "Everything is going to be alright. Okay?" he told me laying on my bed. I nodded even though I didn't believe him and rested my head on his chest. We got under the covers and he told me to close my eyes, so I did waiting for sleep to hit me.

Morning~

"Zayumm..what do we have here?" Mahogany asked waking us up. Cam & I were still in the same position as we fell asleep. "Because if I remember correctly, I fell asleep without you here." she pointed to Cameron and he blushed a little. "What time is it?" I asked. "5:50." she answered. Told you she always woke up earlier than us. Cam kissed the top of my head and went back to his room. When he left I got out of bed and walked over to my suitcase. "So are you guys like a..like a thing?" she smirked. I laughed a little, "No. We're just close." "Hmm." she giggled a little and walked to the bathroom with her outfit. I picked out Taylor's tie-dye muscle tee, a black bandeau, light-washed yellow shorts, and my white converse.

I changed into that once Mahogany was done and then straightened my hair since there was a slight wave to it. Makeup: Foundation - from me crying last night my eyes looked kinda puffy, so this covered it up, mascara, little bit of eyeliner on my tight line, and lip balm. "You should so wear this." She said throwing me a white bandana. I shrugged and tried it on like how Taylor does it. Surprisingly it looked great on me. "GIRLS!! TIME TO GOOOO." Matt knocked on our door. We laughed and walked out with our phones. "Well you look cute." Cameron told me. "Psh..yeah okay." I laughed as we walked into the elevator. "Like the bandana." Taylor smiled at me. I smiled back without my teeth, but didn't say anything. We made it to the limo and to the event.

Backstage~

We went to the table with all the food and started grabbing our breakfast. I wasn't hungry, honestly I felt like I was going to throw up I was so scared to face the people out there. They aren't all fans, haters can come in to just bash you out in front of everyone. I grabbed an Apple Cinnamon NutriGrain bar and a water bottle. "That's it?" Gilinsky asked me when I sat down. "Yeah. I'm not hungry." My phone vibrated constantly next to my napkin on the table. "Someone's popular." Carter said laughing at my phone. I laughed too even though I knew I was getting hated on.

We ate our food and waited by the door. When my name was called last I could tell the girls were quieter than usual when I ran down the line. I mean they still cheered but they didn't really talk to me. The whole day it felt normal, but I could feel eyes staring at me and Cameron. God was that awkward.

End of event~

We walked out of the building to the cars and we drove back to the hotel. "Wait, I wanted to see that magazine remember?" I told Matt when we made it back. So we told the driver to take us to the nearest Target. I was with Matt, Nash, and Taylor. "Alright let's find it and quickly get out of there." I said as we parked. When we walked in I went straight back to the magazines. I scanned the covers with them searching for my face. Holy Shit... I thought when I finally found it. I picked it up from the shelf. The cover was all of us in a big crowd. Gilinsky holding on to my waist, the rest of my body in Nash and Taylor's arms, with the rest of the guys trying to grab the bottles out of Jack & Jack's hands. Our eyes were wide open alarmed and caught off guard staring at the cameras. It was taken when the police barged in.
