*Juliet's pov*
I was already awake when people started yelling.
I was standing outside my door, in the hallway, sitting on the ground.
"I want to take her." Someone shouted.
"I don't care! You can't." Someone else yelled.
"Okay, guys. Shut up. You're waking everybody up with your yelling." Another voice said.
"You got that right." I whispered as I got up and went downstairs.
"I don't care about any of that. I want to take her." As I got closer, I identified the voice as Hayes.
"Do you know what you're doing?" Nash said.
"Guys, stop it." Matt yelled.
I reached the last step and I walked to the kitchen. I hid myself behind the wall.
"It's done. We can't take her Hayes. It's too risky."
"I don't care what anybody else thinks. I'm taking her because I love her and I care about her."
I finally built the courage to stand in the kitchen doorway and look at them.
They all noticed me.
"Guys. What the hell are you talking about? You guys woke me up with your yelling." I let out a small laugh.
I was in my shorts, a big baggy shirt, and my white ruffle socks.
"Nothing." Nash stormed out of the room.
"What was that all about?" I asked.
"We're going somewhere today. Okay?" Hayes said.
"Okay. Where are we going?" I asked.
"Just get dressed okay?" He asked, and I nodded.
I went back to my room, put on a black skirt and a floral crop top. I kept my white ruffle socks on and put on my low top black converse.
I straightened my hair and put on my regular makeup. I grabbed my phone and my camera and went downstairs.
I checked the time, it was only nine o'clock.
"Wherever it is we're going, it better be amazing." I said as Hayes laughed.
It was only Nash, Cam, Hayes and I in a car. We picked up Carter afterwards.
I heard from listening to Nash and Cam's conversation, we were going to downtown Los Angeles.
I sat next to Hayes in the car. I put my earbuds in a listened to some music.
Hayes grabbed my hand and intertwined his fingers. He kissed it.
"Hey." I said, and he smiled.
"Hey." He said back. He kissed me on the lips slowly and softly. He sighed afterwards and he ran his hand through my hair. I tried to stare in his eyes and he kept looking away.
"Are you okay?" I asked. He just nodded.
We arrived at a big place and we went through the back.
"What are we doing here?" I asked.
"You'll see." He said.
We waited around for an hour. Everyone was on their phones or something. We were just wasting time.
I saw Chad.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" I asked as we hugged.
"Taking care of my boys." He said as he hugged me back.
"Could you do me a favor? Get me a water bottle from the back?" He asked and I nodded.
I walked to the back and asked someone where to get the drinks.
They led me to a small cooler in the back of a closet. I said thank you and grabbed the water bottle.
I went back to where Chad was standing and handed him the bottle.
All the guys were gone.
"Hey, where did everyone go?" I asked.
"Juliet, listen. Follow me." He said as he lead me to a couple of doors. He gave me a blindfold and I was hesitant but I put it on my face.
I heard the doors open as I stepped out.
He grabbed my arms and led me in the direction.
"Step up." Chad instructed, and I did exactly that.
Both of his hands grabbed my arms, picked me up and stood me straight up.
"When I say three, take off your blindfold." I think Hayes said.
I nodded.
"One, two.." Hayes said, as he put his hands on my waist.
"Three." He practically whispered.
I took of my blindfold.
I let myself absorb what was happening.
Thousands of girls. They were quiet. They held up signs and posters. They wore shirts that said Hayes's name. But they also had Cam, Nash, and Carter's names on there too.
Their signs said things like "I love you, Hayes" or "Marry Me."
I was nearly about to faint.
When Hayes stepped in front of me.
He grabbed my hands but I pulled them out of his reach immediately.
He didn't have to say it. I already knew.
Hayes was famous. He didn't bother to tell me.
"Juliet, I know you're mad." Hayes said.
I looked back at the other guys. They were just sitting at a table with microphones.
"Mad? Hayes I'm fucking furious." I said as I crossed my arms.
"It's not as bad as it seems." He said.
"Hayes you're famous! You hid that from me this entire time!" I yelled.
"Juliet I-"
"Let me stop you right there." Carter said as he grabbed the microphone and came over to us.
Hayes's lips turned to a flat line.
"You see, we bet that Hayes couldn't even get you to date him. When he did we were so surprised. We asked him if you knew he was famous. And guess what he said? He said no. So we bet that he couldn't keep it from her. If he did, we had to pay him. If he couldn't keep it, or you were close to finding out he was famous. He had to leave you immediately." Carter said.
After he said that, multiple thoughts ran around my head. It was like a tornado up there.
I pushed Carter away.
I stared Hayes right in the eye.
"Did you even care?" I asked. Tears starting to form in my eyes.
"Of course I care."
"Really? It seems like you don't! Hayes everything you said was a lie! Did you even like me? You didn't bother to tell me the biggest secret you had? I shared everything with you. I actually cared about you, Hayes. You don't understand how much you meant to me." I said. I was already crying by then.
"Juliet you don't know how bad I wanted to tell you," he said as he touched my arm. I stepped back.
"Don't touch me." I whispered.
"Do you have any idea how hard it was?" He asked. I just stood there, thinking.
"What'd you care about most? The money the guys had to pay you or me? Obviously, I wasn't the right choice." I said and I walked off the stage.
"Juliet it's not like that!" He yelled after me. I didn't look back.
*Hayes's pov*
"Fuck you Carter." I said.
The fans didn't matter at this moment, it was probably all over Twitter already.
"I did what I had to do Hayes. You cared about her too much." He said.
Anger was building inside of me as I balled my hands into fist.
"It didn't have to be like that, Carter!" I yelled.
"She was falling in love with you."
"And I was falling in love with her." I admitted.
Some of the fans gasped. Some of them cheered, and I also heard a few of them boo.
"Carter, you didn't have to tell her! I was suppose to tell her." I yelled.
"She's gone now! What are you suppose to do?" He asked.
I swung my arm at him. I hit him right in the jaw. He gasped in pain.
The fans were silent at this point.
I wasn't talking about just Carter. I looked at Nash and Cam too.
"Fuck you." I said as I ran off to follow her.
