Natalie's POV

We want back to the hotel and Cameron immediately started working on his speech.

"Hey tell me if this sounds cheesy." He said walking out to the balcony.

"Ivy was a great girl. Amazing actually. I didn't know her long but, I knew her long enough to know that she wa-" he said as I cut him off.

"Let me stop you right there. Cameron, don't think about it. Just write." I said standing up and walking inside.

"This is my tenth try." He said following me.

"Forget writing a speech. Just go up there and speak from the heart." I said going into the bedroom. I started packing my stuff, leaving out my back jeans, black combat boots and black tee.

"Natalie. Can I ask you something?" Cameron asked me coming into the bedroom.

"Yeah what's up?" I asked sitting onto the bed. He sat down next to me.

"Well, do you want to continue coming to events with us? I know you don't remember anything that happened but do you?" He asked me. It seemed like events could be really fun, all the guys and girls are really cool.

"I mean, you guys are amazing. But I think I should go see my parents. I don't remember what they look like or anything that happened with them, but I know I have parents. I really need to see them." I said. He frowned.

"Don't worry. I'll leave in a few weeks." I said seeing him tear up a little.

"Well, during those few weeks, we are going to spend as much time as possible together." He said pressing his lips against mine.

I pulled away and got into bed. I feel asleep in his arms.

Dream

"Natalie!" I was sitting outside on a swing set.

"Natalie come here." I heard someone yell again. I walked into a house that was very familiar.

I walk into the living room and saw a lady with blonde hair sitting on the couch. I feel like I know her.

"I have to tell you something." She said as I sat down on the floor like a child.

"Natalie, you are never going to-"

End of dream

I jolted awake. I looked over at were Cameron should be. He wasn't there. I looked at my phone 3:17. We're the fuck could he be?

I got out of bed and walked out to the living area. I looked out on the balcony and saw Cameron. He was holding a beer bottle in his hand.

"Cameron why are you drinking?" I asked him. I saw 4 others on the ground around his feet. He took another swig.

"Lighten up. You want some?" He asked me extending his arm to hand me the bottle.

I took the bottle.

"No Cameron I do not." I said throwing it over the balcony. It landed with a crash.

"Why are you drinking?" I asked sitting down. He looked at me pleadingly.

"To forget." He said. "To forget about Ivy." He added looking out at the city.

"Why would you want to forget Cameron?" I asked him. He looked at me like I was stupid.

"I don't want to have to grieve from this." He yelled at me. I hugged him.

"Cameron, i will be there for you when you need me. Matt and Nash and Hailey. Everyone. Drinking is not the answer." I said kissing him. We went back to bed, leaving the beer bottles on the balcony.

Caila's POV

Matt an I woke up at 10. That's
late for this tour. We got dressed, I didn't want to wear pants or a dress and I have to wear black. I wore my black crop top and black cut offs. I applied black eyeliner and wore my black vans.

Hell I looked goth.

"How do I look?" I asked walking out to Matt. He smiled.

"Amazing. Me?" He asked. He was wearing back dress pants and dress shoes and a black tee shirt.

"The service isn't until 3:00 and its already 98 degrees out. I am not going outside." I said sitting on the couch. Matt turned up the air conditioner.

"Want to watch Faking It?" Matt asked getting his laptop. I smiled and clapped my hands.

"YAY!" He sat next to me and played the first episode of the season.

Ivy was in a casket. Life less. She was wearing jeans and a magcon shirt. All of us were heart broken.

"I'm so sorry for your loss." I had said to Mrs. Jean when we arrived.

She was a mess. I would be too, my teenage daughter had just died from cancer? I'd be dead, literally no one would ever see me.

Bella was crying, she's a wee bit emotional. Every one sat down when the minister arrived at the podium.

Cameron's POV

"Cameron would like to say a few words." He finished. I stood up and walked to the podium. There wasn't a lot of people here. MAGCON, Ivy's mom and sister. A lot of people I didn't know. I took my speech out of my pocket.

"I am Cameron Dallas. Ivy looked up to me and magcon. She was so-" I stopped. I didn't like what I had written.

I crumpled the paper up and threw it on the ground.

"Ivy was so young. She didn't deserve the cancer. She didn't deserve to die. She was strong, beautiful and always happy. She never had a frown on her face." I said.

"She was probably the biggest magcon fan ever. We gave her the best day of her life. We brought her to the beach and we hung out with her. I was happy I got to meet her. I will miss you Ivy Jean." I said. I walked away from the podium and over to her casket. I took the shell out of my pocket. I held it in my hand and placed it on her chest. I bent down and kissed her forehead.

"I love you." I said turning and sitting back at my seat.

Kaitlyn's POV

"My sister was the bubbliest child. She would always be singing or dancing. She was happy until she was diagnosed. Ivy never let anyone know how upset she actually was. How scared she was. But I knew. I knew my sister."

"She really looked up to Cameron and the guys. Ivy was the happiest during her last few weeks because of Magcon.
Thank you." She said stepping down and going back to her seat.

After the service, we went to the cemetery and slowly lowered Ivy into the ground. Everyone walked to their cars. I stayed and looked at her headstone.

A single tear fell from my eye. I walked back to the car. RIP Ivy
