I Gave It All

Claudia's POV~~

About an hour into the movie, I fell asleep. You can't really blame me though, it's almost midnight. When I felt myself drifting off, I tried to stay awake for thirty more minutes, but I failed. I must have fallen asleep on Austin's shoulder, because I felt him pick me up. I opened my eyes expecting to see Austin, but it was Jake.

"Jake, put me down please." I said. He nodded and set me down. I walked back out to the lounge and saw that Austin was gone and the movie was turned off.

"And she's alive!" CC said. I gave him the finger and sat back down on the couch.

"How was the show?" I asked.

"We totally kicked ass!" Andy exclaimed.

"Anything interesting happen?" I asked.

"Funny you should ask that. My mic actually cut out, so I had to use Ashley's. Once I started singing into his face, the crowd went berserk." Andy said.

"ANDLEY!!!! WOO!" I yelled, despite the fact that it was the middle of the night. Andy and Ashley just glared at me. Then out of the blue, I thought of something to ask.

"Can we go camping?" I asked.

"Yeah, when we're not playing." CC said.

"You're not playing the next three days, please?" I asked.

"What do you guys think?" CC asked? The others nodded in reply, and then Jinxx went to bed followed by Ashley and Jake. Now it was just me, CC and Andy. A few minutes later, CC went to bed and then it was just me and Andy.

"Andy, can I talk to you about something?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure. You can talk to me about anything." Andy said. He turned off the light and turned the TV on. He turned on some pointless show and then sat next to me and he turned to face me.

"Well, there's this guy, and I really like him, but I don't know how to tell him that I like him." I said.

"Is it Austin?" Andy asked.

"No it's not." I said.

"Who is it?"

"I can't say, but he's on this bus." I said.

"Well, just get him alone and tell him how you feel." Andy said.

"What if he doesn't feel the same way?"

"Well, I don't really know what to tell you." Andy said.

"Alright. Thanks Andy. I'm gonna go to bed. See you tomorrow." I said.

"You're welcome. Goodnight."

I gave Andy a hug and went to my bunk that was underneath CC's. I got in and ended up drifting off about five minutes later.

Next Day~~

I woke up the next day with CC shaking me.

"No! Don't touch me!" I mumbled. I was dreaming about my mother beating me.

"Claudia, it's CC. Wake up!" he said. I felt tears falling, so I opened my eyes and sat up. I looked at CC and he hugged me.

"Shh. It's okay, it was just a bad dream." he said.

"I-I know." I said. CC pulled away and moved so I could stand. We both walked out into the lounge and everyone looked to see who it was, either me or Jake. Andy and Jinxx looked at me wierdly.

"Claudia, what's wrong?" Jinxx asked as I sat down. I was confused at first, but then remembered that I was crying.

"I just had a bad dream. Nothing to worry about." I said as a few more tears fell.

"Mind telling us what it was about?" Ashley asked.

"I don't really feel like it, guys. I'll tell you another time, just not now." I said. They all nodded and returned to what they were doing. Jake walked out and I looked away from him.

"Finally! Sleeping beauty arises!" Andy said. The others laughed while I just stayed quiet.

"So, when are we going to start packing for our camping trip?" Ashley asked.

"Probably in about ten minutes." CC said. Jake sat down next to me and looked at me. I looked at him and smiled weakly before looking away again. I looked around the room. Andy was talking to Ashley, and CC was talking to Jinxx. Jake tapped me on the shoulder, and I looked at him.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Not really, but I'll be fine." I said.

"What's wrong?"

"I just had a dream that shook me up a bit. It's nothing to worry about." I said.

"Alright." Jake said. I smiled and at him again.

"Okay guys, let's get packing." CC said. We all stood up and went to pack our bags.

After I finished packing, I carried my stuff to the lounge where CC took it from me and put it into the car we were renting. Austin entered the bus as soon CC left with my things.

"Hey Austin." I said.

"Hey, can I talk to you... in private?" he asked.

"Uh, sure. Let's go outside." I said. I led Austin to the other side of the bus and we sat down in the grass.

"What did you want to talk about?" I asked.

"Alright, I'm just going to go ahead and say it. Claudia, I have feelings for you." Austin said. I just looked at him.

"Austin-"

"Do you by any chance, have feelings for me?" Austin asked.

"I... No." I said. I looked away from him. Austin just stood up and walked away. A minute later, I stood and walked back to the guys. I didn't say anything to them. I just got in the car and we left.
