Chapter 7

I woke up at 6:30 to begin getting ready. I went with a black crop top and white high wasted jeans with a pair of black Vans. I put my hair up in a bun and locked my door.

I walked to the venue , walking past the front lobby where there was a bunch of fans already outside. They screamed as they saw me.

I waved at them and opened the doors to the venue. Mahogany was on stage again with the jacks, Shawn strumming his guitar behind them.

"hey shortie" I heard someone say behind me. I turned to see Taylor. He had on a black bandana that went with his white mussel shirt and black skinny jeans.

"hey , we're twining" I said. He looked down at his outfit then at mine, "true but you look cuter" he said, blushing. I blushed.

"thank you" I said as I saw Matt walk in. "I'll talk to you later" I said, running towards Matt. I jumped on his back, almost making us both fall.

He grabbed my legs and looked up at me, "hey" he said. "Hello" I responded, looking down at him. He gave me a piggy back ride to the stage then set me down.

"you ready for today" I asked. He nodded. "me too" I said before hugging Matt. As he wrapped his arms around my waist, I could see Taylor in the back.

He looked at me for a second before looking away. I got off Matt's back. "you ready for today" I asked mouthed Tay. He nodded.

"you'll be fine" I said before walking over to mahogany on stage. She had on a pair of really cute cat ears. "hey" she said, looking up from her laptop

"hey" I responded, looking at her playlist. Lots of Justin Bieber. "love the ears" I added. She smiled, "thanks, love the top" . I smiled.

"thanks, do you know when VIP gets here" I asked. "at 7, have you eaten anything" she answered. I shook my head no.

"the table in the back has lots of food" she said before going back to her laptop. I walked off stage and to the back.

"Chug chug chug" I heard someone say as I walked to the table. Johnson was downing a coke as the boys were around him .

I grabbed a muffin and sat down next to Shawn. He looked over at my muffin. "You want some" I asked, giggling.

"No, I just love muffins" he said, grinning. I nodded and looked back at the boys. I saw Nash and waved him over.

"hey sis" he said, sitting down. "hey, you ready" I asked. He nodded, smiling. I smiled back, laying my head on his shoulder.

"so how was last night" I asked him since I didn't get to talk to him at all after the pizza shop. He shrugged, "not much, I FaceTimed Casey"

I raised an eyebrow at him, "since when do you have her number" I asked, curious. He blushed, looking down, "a while now"

"Do you like her" I asked, nudging him with my elbow. "yes a little" he said, getting up. He held out a hand and I took it.

"Let's go everyone" Bart yelled. We walked out to the front of the stage. Fans were lined up in front of several tables.

They screamed as we walked behind our tables. Nash & I were at the same table. The fans in front of us waved as they let them in.

"Oh my gosh, Nash" a fan yelled as she ran into Nash's arms. She started crying. I got up and gave her a tissue.

"thank you so much Erin , I love you both so much" she said, after calming down. She handed us a Magcon shirt to sign.

"can I have a picture" she asked. We nodded and smiled. She waved goodbye and another fan walked up. She seemed older than the last and meaner.

"hi Nash" she said as she put a Magcon shirt on the table in front of us. I was about to sign when she put her hand on the shirt.

"um I only wanted Nash's signature" she said, taking her phone out. She turned and smiled. Nash looked at me then back at the camera.

She looked down at her phone, "thanks" . She walked out and another fan walked in. "She's so bitchy" Nash whispered. I laughed.

As Nash signed the fans shirt and took a picture, I looked over at the other tables. Everyone seemed so happy. I looked at Matt.

He was smiling as a fan took a picture. He was sharing a table with Taylor. He looked over at me as the fan walked over to Taylor.

He smiled. I smiled back. He made a heart with his hands and "threw" it to me. I caught it and threw one back.

"Aww" we heard fans say. I blushed, looking back at the fans in front of me. "hey" one said, smiling. "hello" I said, signing her beanie.

"thank you so much Erin, could you make a video for me for my friend, she broke her leg and couldn't make it" she said, pulling out her phone.

"sure, what's her name" I asked, sitting up. "Rebekah" she responded. I took a deep breathe and looked into the phone.

After about two hours of meet and greets , the rest of the fans walked in and we all got on stage. They screamed as each of us stepped out in front them.

Mahogany put on some music and we danced to it. Nash walked up to a few fans and took selfies with them.

"okay, it's time for questions" mahogany said. She gave a mic to Nash, Cam, Shawn, and Gilinsky. They walked around, looking for a fan to pick.

Everyone screamed and raised their hands. Nash handed his to a little girl in the front. She was the youngest here.

"Um could Shawn teach me to play guitar" she asked. I smiled at how cute she was. "Of course" Shawn answered. Everyone awed.

"next question" mahogany said. Fans screamed again. Gilinsky handed it to another fan. "My question is for Mahogany, why are your outfits so cute"

"I don't know" mahogany said, laughing. "Next question" she said. Cam handed it to a girl with curly hair.

"mines for Taylor" she said quietly. Taylor looked up from his phone. "Do you have a crush on anyone here" she asked

He turned red and grabbed the mic from mahogany. "yes" he answered, quietly. "who" the same fan asked.

"Erin" he responded, without any hesitation. Everyone gasped and looked over at me. I blushed and turned back where I caught a glimpse of someone running backstage.

I got up and followed them. I turned to see Matt sitting at a table. I walked up to him and put my hand on his shoulder.

"Matt are you okay" I asked. He looked up and shrugged my hand off his shoulder. He got up and walked to the stairs.

"Matt what's wrong" I asked. He turned and looked down at me, "ask your boy" he said before climbing up one step.

"He's not my boy" I said, grabbing his arm. He turned and walked down again. He looked at me. "He's taking you away" he said, letting go.

"What are you talking about" I asked, heart beating fast. He looked at me then climbed the stairs again. "I like you Erin"
