RECAP

"What a bitch" she finished dropping the microphone and sauntering off stage. I glanced at Nash, Jack and Kenny who had looks of disgust mixed with hurt on their faces. The rest of the guys wore unreadable expressions, even Kayden and Kian. Mahogany looked at me with sympathy but I couldn't stand the way everyone else was looking at me.

I tore off my VIP pass and ran out of the stadium. The cool air was heaven on my face but I didnt stop running. My phone buzzed in my pocket numerous times but I ignored every single one.

I thought I could handle what people thought of me, like the haters. But when it's people who you care about that you thought cared about you, I guess its not that easy to handle it.

After about an hour I finally found my way back to the hotel. I probably looked like death warmed up but I just have to do this. Everyone will benefit better with me not being here. No relationship drama. No boys. I can return to the life that I used to live, making videos of doing what I love from my bedroom.

I ran through the lobby and up the stairs, ignoring the looks from hotel staff and patrons. Once I got to the floor I frantically looked for the room number.

235,

236,

237!

I knocked not taking into consideration that the person might be sleeping. After a couple seconds the door swung open revealing the man who I came to see. The man who got me into this tour.

"Gabriella?" Bart asked looking half asleep. "What are you doing here?"

Did I really want to do this? Is this what is going to make me happy? The next few words you say is going to determine what you do tomorrow, I told myself in hope that it would make the decision easier.

"I'm leaving" I breathed out. Thats it. Its done. It felt like a huge weight was removed from my shoulders.

"What? That's funny-"

"Im serious. I'm quitting the tour" I said sternly. His hard expression softened when he realised I was completely serious, "Are you sure? Quitting this tour could completely change your life".

I hesitated. Am I really going to leave the boys, my brother, Mahogany?

Yes, I have to. It would make all their lives easier. I nodded, breathing out a final yes, not knowing that quitting this would indeed change my life completely.

"Gabriella! Your needed on set!" one of the producers called out. I flipped my now dark brown hair over my shoulder and turned to face the person calling for me. "Ill be right there!" 

Well, you might be wondering what happened after that night. 

After quitting, I left straight away. Mahogany and I barely had time to say goodbye because I couldn't bare come face to face with the guys. I went back to California with no intentions of going back or having anything to do with the boys. A little while after I left, the rest of Magcon disbanded, all of the boys going off in separate directions.  

I got myself an agent who immediately got to work on getting me out there into the industry. Within a week of getting my agent, I was signed to Island records and already had a few acting jobs on some TV shows and movies lined up for me. 

Apparently a lot of people wanted to sign me beforehand but because of my contract with the Magcon tour, I was obliged to stay with them without doing any other work. So all in all quitting did change my life. I have already released 2 hit singles and am working on a third called Hit the Lights as well as an album. 

I am moving up the ladder in Hollywood. 

I changed my look, dying my hair back to its original colour and adding extensions to make it longer. I moved out of my old house with Kayden and moved into a loft apartment with Kian and Jc in L.A. Every once in a while Kian and Jc would tell me how the guys wanted to know where I was but I just shrugged it off. 

I dont need drama in my life and I know for certain they don't need the drama that comes along with me in theirs. 

The boys still keep in contact with each other, as I see it it everytime I go on social media. I luckily haven't had any encounters with the boys, which makes my life easier in putting everything in the past behind and not bringing it back. 

I guest starred on Teen Wolf which was one of the best things I could ever ask for. The small role made me get even bigger and even more known in Hollywood, with more auditions and job offers coming through. I played the love interest in a movie called Behaving Badly which is premiering tomorrow night and i'm super excited. 

I also got offered a starring role in an upcoming movie called The Outfields. Its not really that big of a movie but anything will do to get me more experience.  Later this week is the cast meet up and i'm super excited because I cant wait to see who i'll be working with. 

Anyways right now i'm at a photoshoot for Adidas. I'm modelling one of their new shoe and clothes ranges (pic at the top). I walk on set in a very casual outfit, picked out by wardrobe. 

"Ok Gabriella, we have another model coming in for this part of the shoot, it will be couple work" the director of the photoshoot explained. I nodded my head and waited for the model to arrive. 

About a minute later I hear the director greet someone. Must be the male model. The driector leads him into the room and steps aside to reveal who he was and my mouth instantly falls to the floor. You've got to be kidding me.

"Gabriella, this is Cameron. Cameron this is Gabriella" he introduced. Cam didn't recognise me at first with my brown hair, but once the director said my name his eyes widened slightly as he put the pieces together. "Gabriella?" he says with a questioning and disbelieving tone.

"Cameron" I say without any emotion. Im in to much of a shock to feel anything right now. Really? Just as things were getting good for me, he has to come back into my life. This cant be happening. I must be dreaming. Thats it. Im still in bed and this is all just one big dream. I discretely pinch myself and as the pain shoots up my arm, I realise that I'm not dreaming. 

"Great! You guys know each other. Even better" The director says getting behind the camera. "Ok! Time to take some photos!" he says enthusiastically. 

Me on the other hand, am feeling anything but enthusiastic.
