Chapter 3

Molly's P.o.V.

Our roar of laughter filled the restaurant the minute we walked in, we had just sat down when our laughter came to a slow quiet stop. "Oh god." I said catching my breath. We had got a booth that circled around a table. I had slid in first and ended up in between Dillon and Michael, Zach sitting on the left side of Michael, and Cameron on the right of Zach. Dillon and Greg on the right side of me."Okay we can't stay long, I have a test to take an in hour." I quietly said to Michael picking up one of the menus the waitress had left us. "Okay. I just want to eat and go to sleep anyways." Michael and I ordered the bacon burger to share, Zach got the chicken fingers, Cameron got the chili dogs, and Dillon and Greg also ordered a burger. The waitress left with our orders but came back with our drinks. I looked off into space thinking about my test when I feel a finger poke my side causing me to jump and squeal, I covered my mouth once it happened and Michael began to laugh. I smiled and laughed with him. I poked his stomach. "hey!" he yelped poking me back on the side. I began to laugh a little harder and wrapped one arm around his shoulder, our bodies vibrating from the laughter we both caused each other. I wiped the tear almost spilling from my eye away with my finger and got a glimpse of Zach drinking his amber beverage giving me an irritated look. I took my arm off of Michael and got serious. "Wow. I thought that would take away some of the stress." Michael said with a glum look. "No, it did. You're so good at making me laugh, and I need that, I think I should just relax, eat, and just enjoy the time I have with you." I said rubbing his neck and stroking the little hair I could reach. "Before or After the test?" He asked going in a for a kiss, he made it and we had a magical moment like we always had, and I began to relax. I pulled away with a smile and answered his question. "I think you would be more rewarding and we would have more time if it were after." I said kissing his lips once more. "Okay, as long as you're happy." He wrapped one arm around my torso and started to rub my back. I snuggled up against his shoulder, happy and relaxed. Once we got our food, we all dug in, stuffing ourselves for the night knowing they had a early practice before the show tomorrow night. Once we were finished we stayed to chat for awhile. "I want some ice cream, what time is it?" Cameron asked as a row of burps began, I hated the smell of beer. "It's 6:23, and me too." "Here you go!" Our waitress cheerfully said as she set down 4 more glasses of beer. "Here Michael." Zach said passing it in front of him. "Uh, Not tonight." Michael said. "Come on. Be a man!" Zach said buzzed. He was cute when drunk but also annoying. Michael looked at me and then looked at the glass. He shrugged his shoulders and began to drink the amber liquid. It was 6:38 and Michael had had 4 glasses of beer, I was upset but decided to let it slide and just forget about it. "Hey I think we should go. Its almost time for my exam, and I want to get some ice cream, please Michael." I said shaking his shoulder as he was laughing with Zach. "Huh? Uh just have Dillon go with you." He said to me sliding his arm out of my grip. "I'll go with you." Cameron said raising his hand, scooting out of the booth. I smiled and took one glance at Michael, I saw his wallet had fallen out a bit from his back pocket and I took it gracefully, then climbed out from under the table. I crawled on my knees and Cameron took my hands to held me up. "Lets go." I said offering my hand. We walked out and headed quickly to the dippin dots across the street. "What kind are you getting?" I asked excitedly waiting in line. "Uhhhhhh. Cookies and Cream." He said still looking at the menu board. "You?" "Me? Well I want a 7 large Chocolate cups of dippin dots, and one large Cookies and cream." I said giggling like a little girl. Cameron looked at me with wide eyes. I looked at my phone and saw that it was 6:49. "Cameron go Michael's car, here's the keys. I have 11 minutes before my exam." I said looking at the man making my 8 things of dippin dots. "Okay." He agreed and left. I took out Michael's wallet and paid for the dippin dots. I ran out once the man handed them to me and I went towards the car. I stepped in and Cameron helped me with the Dippin Dots, I sat down and had my seatbelt on, I took back the dippin dots and Cameron drove quickly knowing I only had 6 minutes for my exam to start. We pulled up to the hotel and Cameron said. "Here give me the ice cream, go! Run! Take the exam! I'll make sure this ice cream gets to you and you left the guys with no ride…" He said, I laughed as I got out of the car and I ran inside, I had 2 minutes to log in and take my exam, I made it in time and was ready all because of my rush of stealing Michael's wallet and leaving the guys with no ride home, it made me chuckle. I was close to finishing my exam when Cameron walked in and set down the slightly melted dippin dots on Zach's bed. I looked back to him and watched eat his dippin dots as he looked down at the bed with observing eyes, I thought it was nothing and went back to answering the last 3 questions to my exam. I finally finished and was able to enjoy eating my dippin dots. I giggled as I took the first bite. "You know you didn't have to buy all this ice cream I would have paid for half." He said throwing away his empty cup. "Its okay, Michael paid for it." I said smiling again. He looked at me with confused eyes and I reached into my pocket pulling out Michael's chase card. "Ahhhhh. I see." I nodded and crawled up on the bed, he followed me sitting next to me. "So what's up?" I asked curiously. "What do you mean?" he said not making eye contact with me. "Ever since tour started you seem really gloomy lately, like you're sad a one point and the next you're that Cameron we all love." I crossed my legs indian style and turned my back to the T.V. to get a better look at his face. "Can I ask you something?" "Yeah what do you need." I said reaching for a cup of dippin dots and handing it to him. "What do you when someone is ignoring you, or you think you they are?" He asked crossing legs and taking the cup from my hands. "Well, if I wasn't sure someone was ignoring me, I would try to spend time with me and if they deny it multiple times then I would be clarifying it as being ignored, and if someone was ignoring me I would ask them why? I think I deserve an answer, anyone deserves an answer." I answered his question. He nodded his head and said. "Okay, makes sense." "Who's ignoring you?" I asked curiously. "No one. No one you know. Just someone." He responded nervously and breaking his sentence. "Is it a girl?" I asked. "Yeah, she's like my girlfriend, I mean we've hooked up a few times but we haven't made it official you know, I just wish he would come out and say I like you lets be together." He said looking off into space. "She." I corrected. "huh?" "You said he and i was just correcting you by saying she. Yeah I totally agree." He nodded his head and took a couple of bites of his ice cream. "How do I tell her." He asked slowly. "Well why don't you just surprise her, in any way, and just tell her how you feel and what you've been feeling." I smiled at him. "Yeah, thanks. I owe you one." He said looking more relaxed. "So when do you want to tell her?" I asked. "Hmmm if I can I would like to tell her before the concert tomorrow night." He said smiling guessing he was thinking about them together. "Good Luck." I said finishing my dippin dots and going for a second serving. "Thanks." "I like spending time with you. Its fun." He said smiling. "Yeah we should do it more often, like when the guys are doing guy things." I said rolling my eyes. "So is Michael in trouble?" He asked. "Nah, I mean I hate the smell of beer so he is going to be sleeping in Zach's bed." "He knows that too. They both do." I said slurping up my dippin dots. Cameron chuckled and reached for another cup. After we slurped up the last of the ice cream Cameron left and I got ready for bed. Michael and Zach crept back into the hotel an hour later and I heard the shower turn on, I drifted back to sleep and felt cold arms tug me close to a body. "I'm sorry. Do you still want me to sleep with Zach?" His breath tasted like mint and his body like Axe. I shrugged my shoulders and wrapped my arms around him. I put my head on his shoulder and saw Zach with a really sad look on his face as he readied himself for a night of sleep. I wondered what was up with him, but felt to hungry for sleep to take care of it right now.
