Chapter 23

Paige POV
We got to the hotel from picking up Mel and she put her stuff in her room which is a floor above mine.

"Fill me in." She said sitting on the bed.

"Its a long story." I said exaggerating.

She rolled her eyes at the thought and stared at me.

I sighed and started talking.
"Jack and I started dating. Then he went to the hospital because Taylor poisoned his coffee. He did it because he apparently loved me. I starting liking Chris, but he didn't want to ruin anything I had with Jack. And everything went down from there."

We were pretty silent but Mel just started busting out laughing.

"You think that was bad?" She said still laughing.
"Mike is in a coma." she mumbled.

I stopped laughing at her.
"what?" I said feeling extremely nervous.

"I shouldn't have brought it out like that, but a motorcycle accident." she said standing up.

I felt a hot tear slip down my face. Mike was Mel's brother who was like a brother to me too.

Why is everything bad happening to the people I love.

"Paige please don't worry" she said hugging me.

After a little while of crying and sobbing, we settled down.

"Don't let this ruin our week together. Let's go hangout with the boys." Mel said.

I nodded and we walked back to my room. I slid the key in and skipped in.

"Hey can we all do something?" I said to Matt sitting on his bed.

"Taylor is having people over his room." He said
I nodded and thought of something.

"I'll be right back." I said purposely leaving them in the room alone.

Mel POV
"What the hell" I mumbled quietly.
Matt must of heard me and started laughing.
I felt my face get extremely red.

"Hey." .Matt said walking towards me.
"H-hi" I said staring at him.
He chuckled. "Blue." he said.
"What?" I said confused.
"Your eyes. They're beautiful." He said looking at my shoes. He stroked his fingers through my blonde hair which made me tingle.

I felt butterflies in my stomach at his touch.

Matt POV
"How about we skip the party at Taylor's?" I said wanting to hang out with her.

"Um but what about Paige?" She asked.

"Don't worry about her. I want to hang out with you." I said.

She laughed and we walked out of the room.

Paige POV
I didn't want to be weird eavesdropping on their conversation so I thought it was a good time to speak to Jack.

I walked into the elevator and pressed his floor. As the doors were closing, a hand shot in. They were wearing a black hoodie with the hood covering their face. I stood their quietly but also tried to distinguish their face.

The elevator reached Jack's floor, so I stepped out. I could hear slight footsteps behind me but I was too afraid to look back.

The footsteps began to run and were becoming noisier.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my waist and they spun me around.

"Shawn?" I said confusingly.
