The car ride back to Miami went by in a blur. All I kept thinking of was that horrified look in Camila's eyes. After she told me to leave, I left the bus without hesitation. No goodbye hug or goodbye kiss. I just went straight to find Ally and Troy. After telling them we needed to leave, we hit the road. I drive behind them all the way back. Completely ignoring the fact that my mom said we should stay in a hotel for the night.

We got home a little after 3am. Ally insisted Troy crash on the couch since he looked dead tired. I can imagine how I'm looking. Instead of heading to bed like them, I went outside to the patio. Dash followed, who ran off to do his business. I can't shake the feeling of knowing I could of potentially ruined Camila's career.

A vibration deep in my jacket pocket pulls me away from my thoughts. I pull my phone out. There awaits heap loads of messages and missed calls. All from the moment I left Miami until now as I got this new one.

What up?

I'm still in town.
_
Are you there?
_
Sorry about that girl Laur...
_
Come on man. Come over?
_
At least call me back.

I had completely forgotten about the blonde at the club. It re boils my blood just thinking how Zayn didn't do shit. I decide to just call him later. Let him stew in guilt some more.

The next messages tell a very compelling story. Turns out I do know who  my anonymous texter was from after all.

I fist my phone tight. It was Reagan. That conniving purple haired bitch.

You were the one who told twitter?! Why would you want to ruin Camila like that???

Dash comes over and nips at my ankle. I shoo him away but he only wants to play. We both settle for a friendly head rub. Too infuriated to consider sleep now, I scroll through my phone with my free hand. Hitting that familiar "T", my tumblr dash pops up. There's some new reblogs from other users I had followed, but that's not what I'm looking for. I go through my followings until I find the blogs I had posted my ad on. Miami Singles, Looking For Love In The 305, and this one Orange Juice, Beaches and Love. Searching up that last one I see that it has over 100k reblogs and likes. That must be the one the fans found. I quickly delete my submission. Then find the others and delete those as well. I should just delete my entire blog.

Suddenly my phone vibrates in my hand. A  new message appears.
