Chapter 35

~ Brianna

My head started spinning. Everything around me was getting fuzzy.

"Are you okay Brianna?" Sam's voice echoed.

"Yeah, you don't look so good," Kian's replied.

My mind completely froze.

"I think I'm gonna be sick," I mustered, clutching my stomach.

Sam helped me back upstairs to find Matt.

"She's sick," he said, handing me over.

Seeing Matt made me feel much better. I controlled my breathing and calmed myself.

"What's wrong baby?"

"A-Acacia's coming."

"Aw shit," he mumbled, "Sam's back with her, isn't he?"

I nodded slowly.

"I'll be right back, okay?"

"Okay."

After Matt left, I was joined by Nash, Shawn, Andrea, Kian, Jack, and Jenn.

"You okay Booboo?" Shawn smiled.

"I'm fine, just afraid. Acacia's coming and-"

"Acacia's coming?"

Cameron. He was walking by and overheard me talking.

"Mhm," I managed.

I bit my bottom lip to keep it from quivering.

"Who-"

"Sam."

I could see hurt fill his eyes as he trudged away angrily.

"SAM!" he grunted.

I've never seen Cam this upset before. I ran out after him. He was in front of Sam, about to blow.

"Cameron stop!" I pleaded.

"Sam! She can't come!" he yelled.

I heard a text tone and noticed Sam looking down at his phone.

"SAM THIS IS NO TIME FOR TEXTING!"

His expression changed. He was hurt.

"No, it's okay guys. You don't have to worry about her anymore. Sh-She's not coming," his voice cracked.

"Sam I-" Cam started.

"No, really. I-It's fine," he said holding back tears.

He ran into his room.

"Go spread the news Cameron. I'm gonna go see what's wrong," I said.

He nodded and left me alone. I approached Sam's room and pushed the door open a bit.

"Hey Sam."

He cleared his throat and sniffled.

"Hey," he croaked.

"What's wrong? Why isn't Acacia coming?"

"Why do you care? You never wanted her to come."

"Do you know why?"

He shook his head.

"Well, last year, before my first date with Matt-she was with Cameron then-she tried to seduce him."

"What do you mean?"

"She was all over Matt."

He shook his head again.

"I'm so sorry."

"It's fine. I just have problems trusting people now."

"I understand."

I sighed.

"Why are you so upset?"

"She...she..."

"Spit it out Sam."

"She dumped me."

That's what I thought.

"I'm so sorry."

I wrapped my arms around him, engulfing him in a hug. He hugged back tighter. Our eyes met for a moment.

"You have beautiful eyes," he smiled.

"Thanks, so do you," I giggled.

"And rosy cheeks."

"Just like yours!"

We both laughed together. I was glad he was forgetting about Acockia. She doesn't deserve a guy like Sam anyways. At the most she deserves a trash can.

"Cmon, let's go," I said, taking his hand.

He let go and wrapped his arm around me as we stood up.

"Thanks Brianna."

"Of course."

We walked into the hallway, greeted by Cameron.

"So everything's worked out?" he asked.

"Yep! You guys go downstairs. I'll be there in a few," I said.

They nodded and skipped downstairs as I made my way back to my room.

"Hey Matt!"

"I guess you're feeling better!" he smiled.

"Yea, Sam's good now."

"Good, I was worried. I knew Acacia would do something to hurt him. She's done it to all of us."

"Mhm."

"Soo, you hungry? We ordered take out from Taco Bell. Gilinsky and Jacob went to pick it up."

"Starving," I laughed.

"Wanna head downstairs?"

"Sure."

On our way down, I was stopped by Tyler's perky voice.

"Hey Brianna! Guess what?"

"What?"

"You already have over half a million subscribers on YouTube!"

"Really?"

"Yes! I hope you don't mind but I linked your Twitter, Instagram, and Vine in the description of the video."

"Yea that's cool. Are Gilinsky and Jacob gonna be back soon?"

"They're on their way," Johnson said, looking down at his phone.

I walked towards the couch and sat down next to Tyler.

"Thanks for helping me out with my channel Tyler," I said side-hugging him.

"Anything for you."
