You rolled over and quickly pressed snooze on your alarm, your phone screen reading 3:15 a.m. Your head pounded as you tried to make sense of the world, longing to go back to sleep.

"Oh god..." you groaned sitting up slowly as you rubbed your eyes. You heard shuffling on the other side of your bedroom door, so you called out. "Emma, you up?" You yelled to your roommate as the darkness of your room clouded your vision.

The door creaked open slowly, the blinding light from the hallway making you squint. "Yeah, I've been up for a few minutes, you okay?" Her voice was slightly muffled as she spoke. You could barely make out the shadow of the girl as her toothbrush hung out of her mouth.

"I don't wanna go." You groaned as you flopped onto your back and pulled the covers back over you. "Especially if she is going to be there." Emma scoffed and walked forward, ripping the covers off of you.

You and your castmates from Wednesday were supposed to fly to New York for interviews and press panels, but you didn't want to go because of a certain small girl. You and Jenna had grown super close during filming and had a fantastic friendship, so much so that you gained feelings. But, one day she just stopped talking to you with no explanation, acting as if you never existed.

"Y/n, honey, your gonna have to get over that." Your best friend smiled as you could smell her mint toothpaste, "Plus, we gotta be at the airport in an hour so you better hurry." Part of what sucked about being a celebrity is you felt the need to look good wherever you went because you knew someone was going to have a camera.

"Alright, alright, I'm getting up." You gave in and stood up, stretching as you accepted that you wouldn't be able to go back to bed any time soon. Emma flicked your bedroom light on as she left, giving you a small thumbs-up before shutting your door.

As soon as you were left alone, you began to feel heavy, knowing that you had to be near Jenna for the next few days. But nonetheless, you picked up your suitcase and started packing, your mind racing with all the possibilities of the next week.

"Well, don't you two look cute?" Joy smiled as she saw you and Emma walking up. You and Emma were wearing matching outfits, her with black sweatpants and a bright pink hoodie, you with the opposite, bright pink sweatpants and a black hoodie.

"Says you!" Emma smiled, beginning to compliment the other girl. However, your eyes just flicked over to the rest of your castmates, a certain girl catching your attention. She was sitting by herself, her headphones on as she listened to music, your presence unknown to her. She quickly looked up to see what the commotion was about, your eyes meeting with hers. But then, Joy called your name, prying your attention away from the girl.

"Earth to y/n," She smiled, lazily waving a hand in front of your face.

"Oh, uhm, sorry." You laughed awkwardly, "what did you say?"

"I asked if you were excited for this week." She repeated, her eyes full of anticipation. Just as you were about to answer, you heard another voice from behind you, the voice of one of your favorite people.

"Well hey there you guys," Hunter smiled as he walked up, all of the attention turning to him. Your other castmates began to strike up a conversation with him, giving you the chance to finally sit down, and possibly take a nap. You quickly sat down on the opposite side of the bench as Jenna, giving her a quick wave so as to not make it totally awkward before turning the other way, curling up and shutting your eyes.

"Y/n, are you about to fall asleep?" Georgie chimed in from the bench across from you. You looked over to the boy who was scrolling on his phone, but out of the corner of your eye, you could see Jenna look up and right at you.
