Driven

Chapter 1: Meeting Everyone

As of last weekend, Taylor and Coco are dating. They're already kissing, being mushy, holding hands, etc. Things that couples do... at least a month after dating. Although, that could change. Taylor's and his last girlfriend dated for two weeks and she decided he wasn't "the one." Baloney.

Since July, Cameron and Ashley have been dating. They just started kissing and saying, "I love you," and things of that nature. Hayes and I have been going steady since February. He is absolutely wonderful. Aaron and his girlfriend Hayley have been dating for about a month now.

But, Jacob and Mahogany have been having relationship issues for weeks now. "It's complicated," they say. "We're working things out," Jacob constantly tells people. Honestly, I have yet to find out why it's so hard for them. Mahogany's best friend Ansley reassures Mahogany everything is fine. That they'll fix everything. Which worries her more. I don't even try to get between Jacob and Mahogany. Bad news. Very bad news.

Then, Nash and Faith have been seeing each other for over a year now. Only some people know... but he's planning to propose. Jack Johnson rides solo, but says he "pulls hoes." Jack Gilinsky, on the other hand, is engaged to Riley. He proposed in June. The wedding is in December in Hawaii. I am one of the bridesmaids. Surprisingly. I was pretty sure Riley hated me!

But, anyways, Shawn's girlfriend Katie is so adorable. Her and Shawn are the perfect match. Carter also flies solo. Along with Jack J. Matthew and Candace just broke up. They had only been dating for a few months and he thought his career meant that he had no time for her. But, don't think they're a pity trio. They keep their eyes open for girls.

I've realized a lot of things in these months that I've been with Hayes. Most importantly; all of the boys have a life outside of Vine, YouTube, and Instagram. They are people just like you and me. It took me a long time to finally see that. For almost a year, they were my idols. I watched every sort of video, picture, or read any kind of 'imagine' I could get my hands on. I loved them. Now, miraculously, they're my best friends.

I've heard and seen a lot of things as well. Things that the fans will never know. Only the close family and friends. Even then, they have to be careful of what they tell us. As a girlfriend of one of the boys, I only hear half of the things told to the family. And trust me, the boys and their family go through a lot. They also give a lot to stay in the business. Things like time, effort, and even money. The fans don't realize all that the boys give.

I met Hayes at the last Magcon tour in Atlanta. At the meet and greet we exchanged numbers right as I was leaving. It was the best moment of my life. But, right now, all of us are walking around Atlanta. We've been stopped by fans so many times, so we haven't gotten very far. I know Atlanta very well, because I was born in Columbus. We decided to eat dinner at the Varsity.

Right as we walked in the door, we were swarmed with a crowd of girls. Coco, Ansley, Hayley, Ashley, Faith, Riley, Katie, and I all have the same look on our face. Annoyed, aggravated. Also, on top of that, there is nothing we can do about it. By the time we're seated and looking at the menu, all of us are starving.

So, we order, wait on our food, eat, and head back to the hotel. It's been a long day for all of us, so we all go straight to bed. Coco, Ansley, and Hayley share a bed. Katie, Ashley, and Riley share a bed. Faith, and I share a bed. Then, the boys took the two couches and the room next to us.

Even though I talk about the 'Magcon Business' like it's a bad thing, for me, it's actually been quite a blessing. And an experience. Not a whole lot of girls get to say that. I feel like I am very lucky to have earned the privileges I have earned. I also think I would be able to say that for the other boys' girlfriends.
