living on the edge

Chapter 21: "You hurt me.."

* a/n at end. please read!*

I fell asleep in Cameron's arms, which was the most comfortable thing ever. Except that the fact Taylor was still mad at me was stuck in my mind. Holy shit, he never came back..

I checked my phone - 3:04 am. How does closing your eyes for what feels like five minutes, is actually hours. "Cam!" I whispered shaking his arm.

He wouldn't budge. "Cameron wake up." I whispered kissing his forehead. Nothing. Wow. Was he dead? "Cam!" I shook his arm again, this time he finally woke up. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" He asked sitting up, worriedly.

"Taylor never came back after he left the hotel." "Let me go check his room. I'll be right back." He said kissing my forehead and then running to the door. I sighed laying back down, why would Taylor leave like that just because of cam and I dating?

"He's not there." Cameron said after he came back to our room. "What. Where could he be?" I whispered trying not to wake Mahogany. "We'll find him tomorrow, okay? Try to go back to sleep." He said getting back into bed.

I sighed, that would most likely be impossible.

"BAES! ITS TIME TO GET UPPP!" Mahogany sang loudly. I opened my eyes to the room being bright with the sun coming in. "Yeah, thanks mom." I teased her. "Ha-Ha. Now get ready, today's the last day for a whole two weeks until we begin our tour up again. So let's make the most of it!" She smiled walking into the bathroom.

"See you soon." Cameron smirked at me, kissing my nose and then leaving our room. I rolled my eyes smiling. He was so cute. I got a quick shower, picked out my outfit, did my hair and makeup, and I was done getting ready. "Ready?" I asked, Mahogany nodded and we headed out to the elevator.

"Hey, do you guys know where Taylor ran off to?" Aaron asked in the car. "No, and I'm getting kind of scared..." My voice trailed off. "Maybe he's already there." Nash said meaning at the event. I shrugged, if he wasn't then who knows where he could be.

"Find him?" Johnson asked me as I came out from the green room. "Nope! He's not here." I said crossing my arms. "Shit, we gotta get him here before Bart comes back." He mumbled running a hand through his hair. That was the most stressful time backstage yet, we ran around the whole place looking for Taylor. Even just a bandana laying on the floor could signal he was close.

But nope, nothing. "Ah, how is everyone this morning?" Bart asked grinning as he walked over to us. We all stood around awkwardly acting like we weren't looking for anything - or anyone. "You guys ready for today?" He asked and we nodded giving him small smiles.

"Alright, we're on in three minutes." He continued, walking to the other side of backstage. "What the hell are we gonna do?" I whispered once we all grouped together in a circle. "We'll just have to tell him I guess." Gilinsky shrugged. We sighed and lined up in front of the door, ready for our names to be called.

"Rea- where's Taylor?" Bart furrowed his eyebrows looking at all of us. My eyes widened, oh I don't know, he got jealous and ran away last night, and by the way Cameron and I are dating. "Lexee made him jealous." Nash said trying to hold in a laugh. I sent him a death glare, "what?" Bart asked confused.

"He got mad at me and left the hotel last night, but he never came back an-" "How is everybody!? Please welcome to the stage, Aaron Carpenter!" Mahogany's voice ran through the microphone. "Go! Go! We'll discuss later." Bart said shooing Aaron out the door frantically.

(FRANTAcally. ahah, i had to)

Once we were all on stage, it was obvious fans were confused as to where Taylor was. We avoided that subject until someone worked up the nerve to yell it out. We passed looks at each other on what to say, "He's um, out." Sammy lied. "Yeah, so we're gonna take a quick break and then it'll be time for the meet and greet!" Nash said quickly.
