Why Try

Part 2: Taken

Camerons pov:

After I finished performing, I thanked the audience and went back into my green room. Knowing Louie and Addison, they probably went to drink and hook up with people, which doesn't bother me as long as they're safe. I rather stay alone right now anyway. I was on the verge of breaking down every second during that song. I grabbed myself a bottle of water and chugged it down quickly, since I gotta be professional I can't drink. I put the bottle down and stared into the ceiling, my mind racing with thoughts, like Ariana.

However, my thoughts were interrupted with a light knock on the door. "Come in" I said loud enough for the other person to hear. The door opened and Ariana creeped in slowly. "Hey, I wanted to see how you were doing" she smiled as she shut the door. I sighed and sunk into the same leather couch I was on a few hours ago. "Deadass? Not the best, but I'll be fine" I smiled as Ariana sat beside me. Of course, whenever she's around me my heart starts to race faster than Usain Bolt can ever run. I didnt even notice I was staring at her until she waved her hands infront of my face.

"Come on, tell me what's on your mind, I wanna know what goes on up there" she giggled grabbing my hand. My heart began to race 3x faster than it was previously, this was gonna be an interesting night.

Me and Ariana talked for hours like we usually do, but with my feelings towards her, it was harder. "I'm here for you, you know that right?" she asks. "Yeah, I do. Why?" I ask back confused. "I just don't want you to feel like your alone or-" I cut her off. "Hey, don't worry about me, alright? I'm fine, trust me" I smiled holding her hand.

I hadn't noticed how close our faces were until she began leaning in. I looked at her lips, then to her eyes and back to her lips. I closed my eyes and leaned in with her. Once I felt our lips touch, all the butterflies in my stomach began exploding like fireworks. I smiled into the kiss and she giggled. Without breaking the kiss, she put her hand on my chest,  pushed me down slowly on the couch and straddled my waist. I put my hands on her hips not knowing where else to put them. Once air became a problem, we both pulled away and looked into eathothers eyes.

"Sorry, i just really wanted to do that for a while" Ariana shyly said. "What?" I ask shocked. She got of me and sat back on the couch, I followed her actions too. She took in a deep breath and said "I like you Cam, like, I like you more than a friend" she said squeezing her eyes shut. "Are you serious?" I ask still unable to process everything. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't of done that. I get it if you never want-" I cut her off by kissing her again, I could tell this shocked her but she quickly calmed down. "I like you too, like I've liked you for ages now" I chuckled. "For real?" she asked giggling. "Yeah, but I never had the balls to say anything" I admitted. "Wow, so the Cameron that I knew isn't so tough after all" she says faked shocked. Real funny Ariana. "Shut up" I playfully hit her arm.

"How about we go on a date?" I suggest. A few minutes ago I was sweating from how nervous I was, where did all this confidence come from? "A date?" she asks. "Yeah, or we could hang out and watch films.. and eat?" "So.. a date?" she repeats smiling. "I'd love that" she says kissing my cheek. "Oh shit, it's 2am already. Message me the details, I'll see you soon" she smiles and she disappears out the room. "Lets fucking go" I quietly yell. I instantly regret doing that when I realised I sound like a 14 year old boy.

I left the green room an hour after Ariana had left, now I'm lying down on my bed at the hotel unable to sleep again. I change into a hoodie and a pair of sweatpants and leave my hotel room. I walk past the huge entrance and walk around outside for a while to get some fresh air.

"Cameron Harper?" a masculine voice yells behind me. I hear footsteps coming closer "Yeah?" I reply turning around. Before I got to see who it was I felt something hit me on the head and everything went black
