Jess POV

"It's ok guys, he just text me back. He will be back later." I said, over the noise. I was still really worried about him. That was the first thing I'd said to anyone since he left.

Cameron walked over to me and sat on the end of the bed.

"Jess, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for it to happen." He looked so guilty I couldn't help but feel bad for him. I pulled him into a hug.

"No its okay. It wasn't your fault. That's just life." I said. I pulled away and looked into his eyes. I kissed his cheek and got up to try and call carter. I walked back and forth around the room. Everyones eyes now suddenly focused on mine.

It went straight to voice mail.

"Dang it!" I said, as I pressed the end call button.

"What?" Shawn asked with curiosity.

"His phone is off."

"Don't worry, he will be back soon" Shawn said, getting up and hugging me.

"Thanks" I said, smiling.

"Do you want me to sing you 'Life Of The Party'?" Shawn said picking up his guitar with a smile spreading across his face. He carried around his guitar like a girl would carry her purse.

I nodded.

"YAY SONG TIME!" Jack G shouted, as everyone got comfy.

'I love it when you just don't care

I love it when you dance like there's nobody there...'

Carters POV

I was about to get up when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up to see a girl with brown/auburn hair and dark hair. She was pretty but I really wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone.

"Um hi...uh...this isn't really a good time right now." I said, in the nicest way possible.

"That's ok. I'm Mallory. Maybe we could hang out some time? Could I have your number?" She said, whilst chewing gum. She seemed nice but you could sense that she would be a total bitch to anyone she hated but I mean, that was just first impressions right?

"Um sure." I said, as I typed it into her phone.

"Thanks" She said, as I handed it back to her. "So do you wanna hang out?"

"Uh actually I can't. I kinda argued with my friend earlier so I need to get back to the hotel and sort things through." I said. Which was actually true. I felt really bad.

"Oh ok. Text you later." She said as she walked away, back down the promenade.

I sighed and made my way back the way I came. I turned on my phone to see numerous voice mails from Jess.

I played them one by one. Each showing the concern and desperation in her voice. This made me feel even more bad. It was already gone midnight.

Jess POV

Everyone went to bed after a while. They all figured we would see him in the morning, but this reassurance wasn't enough for me. I layed tossing and turning all night. Checking the time every 5 minutes, keeping my phone in my hand just incase Carter called.

Seconds went onto minutes....

Minutes went onto hours....

Until my phone buzzed.

C - Carter J- Jess

C- Meet me on rooftop balcony. Want 2 talk 2 u. x

J- B there in 2 mins! X

I quickly, but quietly shot out of bed. I threw on my brothers Magcon hoodie, which was oversized on me. I slid my foot into my vans and made my way to the door. I glanced over at Mahogany who looked outcold in her bed. I quietly closed the door and made my way down the hallway to the elevator at a quick pace.

****

I opened the door of the rooftop balcony to find Carter, leaning on the railings, overlooking the view. He turned around as soon as he heard the door close. He ran straight up to me and engulfed me in a hug.

"Jess I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to over react and leave like that. I probably worried you sick." He said as he pulled away. We walked back over to the place he was standing.

"You did!" I chuckled. Gently nudging his arm. "But at least your back and unharmed. Unless you now have a contagious disease by all means, stay away!" I joked, pretending to back away.

He laughed back. "Nah I'm all good."

There was a few brief moments of silence before he spoke up again.

"But it's true."

"What is?" I asked, not taking my eyes away from the view.

"What I said to Cam. I really do like you. A lot. And I'm sorry if this is awkward for you, but these feelings...they just...they won't leave, so I know it's true."

"Oh my god, this is so awkward right now I just don't even know" I replied, in a typical sassy ratchet voice.

He laughed I reply.

"But..." I started.

"But what?" Carter prompted.

"But, maybe I like you too..." I said slowly, just so I knew what I was saying.

I looked over at him. He seemed to be trying to find words in reply. "Really?"

We gazed at each other, before slowly leaning in. It reminded me of Cam when we nearly kissed in the elevator. It made me feel bad but somehow, I felt like I wanted to do this.

And then it happened.

Our lips connected and moved in perfect sync. It wasn't a make out session, just a perfect kiss.

We pulled apart. Both speechless of what happened. Instead, we headed towards the door and made our way back to our rooms, in perfect silence.

As we approached my room. I pulled out my room key to open the door just before Carter, took hold of my wrist, making me face him.

"Thank you."

"No problem" I said with a smile.

He kissed my hand goodnight and walked down to his room.

Somehow, everytime I was with Carter, it always made me think of Cameron. Was this telling me something?
