Moments after Rebecca runs to the bathroom I immediately follow after her. I can hear heavy breathing from behind the bathroom door. That has to be her. Without even thinking I rush in to find her on the ground shaking and hyperventilating. She's trying to do something on her phone but her hands are shaking too much. I quickly walk in front of her and kneel in front of her.

    "Rebecca. Rebecca what's going on? What's wrong?" I ask her. She doesn't pay me any attention. Doesn't even look at me.

  I look down at her phone to see a contact pulled up. The contact says Matt📹. Who is this guy? Whatever. It's obvious that he's going to be able to help her. I click the call button and raise the phone to my ear.

    "Hey Becca what's up?" A male voice replies.

  Instantly I panic. What am I supposed to do? I doubt I would be able to do anything he instructs me to do.

    "Becca? Becca what's going why aren't you answering me?" The worry is clear in his voice.

    "Is this Matt?" I ask. Seriously! Out of everything that could be said.

    "Yes... Who are you and where's Rebecca?"

    "Something's wrong with Rebecca she's hyperventilating and really shaky and I don't even know what to do." I opt to only answer the second question as it's the most urgent. He takes a deep breath.

    "Ok give Rebecca the phone I can help her. But don't touch her! She doesn't like being touched when this happens." He says calmly.

    "I don't think she can hold the phone." My voice is still shaky. I don't know what's happening to Rebecca.

    "Ok just... just uhh just FaceTime me and give Becca the phone." I nod completely oblivious to the fact that he can't see me and do as he says. With FaceTime pulled up I click call and point the screen at Rebecca. Matt starts talking to her.

    "Becca. Breath. Breath okay? Yeah? Come on follow my breaths okay. Breath when I breath." He says in a calming voice. Rebecca nods slightly and starts to breath in time with him.

    "Deep breath in. Deep breath out." Rebecca follows his instructions and soon her breathing is back to normal and she is no longer hyperventilating. She gently takes the phone from my hand. Her fingertips brushing mine. She flinches a little at the contact.

    "Okay. Do you think you'll be okay until I can come and get you?" He asks quietly.

  Rebecca nods. "I... I think s... so."

    "Wait. Come to pick her up? What do you mean?" I say finally breaking out of my trance.

    "Obviously it's not the greatest idea to leave her with you. I don't even know who you are or why Rebecca is with you so just tell me where you are. I'm already in my car." He growls at me.

  I decide not to argue with him since I know so little about Rebecca and he actually has a point. "Alright. We're at the Gordon Mall."

  He sighs in relief. "Good I'm not that far away. Becca I'll be there in about five minutes okay?"

  She nods. "O... Okay. Wait p... please don't hang up." She shouts suddenly.

    He sighs. "I won't but can I put the phone down? It's sort of difficult to drive with my phone in my hand." Rebecca chews on her thumb nail and nods.

    "Hey um Matt is it?" I ask suddenly.
 
    "It's Matthew to you." He says coldly.

    "Right. But uhm how do you two know each other exactly."

  There's a long stretch of silence. "Becca usually comes down every summer to dance with a few people. I just video tape it all and sometimes dance with them."

  I didn't expect her to be a dancer. "Oh." Is all I can say.

    "Alright Becca I'm here now where are you?" I can hear the slam of a car door through the phone.

    "Oh on the... second floor in the bathroom... beside a coffee shop... mm... in the food court." She says then continues to chew her thumb nail.

  In a few short minutes there's a knock on the bathroom door. Rebecca pockets her phone and stands up shakily.

    "Becca are you in there?" He calls.

  She slowly walks to the door and opens it. Immediately Matthew wraps her in a hug.

    "What happened? Wait you know what tell me later Mason will want to hear this." He exclaims. Rebecca smiles a little then nods.

  This is the first time I've seen this guy. He's tall with dark hair and brown eyes. He looks fit too. I guess he'd have to be if he's a dancer though.

  He looks at me with a hard look in his eyes. "Look thanks for your help but we should go." I'm kind of starting to pick up how protective he is of Rebecca. He turns to Rebecca with a softer look. "Is it okay if we head back to the studio or do you want me to take you to mine and Mason's house.

  She stares at him blankly then her eyes light up. "Can we go to the studio... please." She mumbles softly.

  I shake my head. "Wait I need a ride home. We drove here in her car."

  Matthew glares at me. "I'll drop you off at your house." Then he turns to Rebecca. "Mason and I will come back for your car as soon as we can okay? Do you have your keys?" When he talks to her his voice always immediately softens.

  I nod and follow them outside. Matthew keeps his arm over her shoulders the entire time until we get to his four door red Jeep Wrangler. Apparently they share a similar liking in cars. He leads her to the front seat and closes the door for her. Then he gets in the driver seat and waits impatiently for me to slide into the back seat.

  He sighs. "So where do you live?"

  I start to answer him but Rebecca interrupts me. "Wait Matt. Maybe he should come to the studio with us. The reason I'm back here in California is because in supposed to be working with Asher's manager and keep him out of trouble."

  Matthew snorts. "So you were hired to be his babysitter?" He says laughing.

    "No!" I protest loudly. He just laughs harder but doesn't say anything and focuses back on the road.

  It doesn't take long to get to the studio. It's just a building that looks kinda run down. It looks like no one would ever be found in there. But both Matthew and Rebecca walk up the door and knock on it like they've done it a thousand times. It actually takes a few minutes for the door to open but when it does there are two guys standing in the door grinning wildly and sweating. One is lean and dark haired and the other is a little more muscular and blond.

    "Becca!" They both shout at the same time and then both hug her.

  She sniffs and tears fall down her cheeks but she hugs them both and laughs weakly. "Come on guys you're all sweaty!"

  The blond one pulls back from her. "Becca what's wrong?"

    "Let's just go inside." She mumbles quietly. The other two boys nod and lead her inside one on each side of her. Neither of them even acknowledged my presence but Matthew grabs my shirt sleeve and drags me inside of the building. Once we climb up a few sets of steps we reach an entire floor that's leveled out. The floor is wood and there are mirrors lining the entire right wall. All kinds of different lights illuminate the space. There are shelves against the far wall with bags lined on it and a camera and a phone connected to a speaker. It's simple but they seem to like it. A girl with reddish brown hair stretches in the middle of the floor. When she notices Rebecca she jumps up and engulfs her in a hug. Both girls laugh. They start immediately talking and catching up leaving me to stand behind them rather awkwardly.
