with Maddie. I sighed because I knew that wasn’t true. Me and my big mouth had gotten me into this. Now I just hoped she would let me get myself out of this. There was just something about Maddie… My Maddie.  

CHAPTER THREE
Maddison

    I made the slow walk back to the campsite. So many times, I wanted to turn back and let him explain how he knew Josh’s name, but I didn’t know if I could. What if it was me? Did I let it slip last night when I had been drinking? When Ellie came and barged in, did I refer to Josh by his name? I chewed on my nail as I walked. I didn’t have that much to drink and could remember almost all of the night. So why didn’t I remember saying his name? I looked down at my phone and I saw the missed calls and voice messages from Josh. Ugh. I so couldn’t deal with him right now. Clearing them all, I put my phone away as my camp came into view. Jas saw me and came running over.

    “Oh my gosh. We were so worried. Ellie said Josh has been freaking out and trying to get a hold of you but you’d turned your phone off and weren’t answering it.”  

    “Does that fact really surprise you Jas? My ex cheats on me, then calls incessantly, and people are wondering why I am not answering him? Doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. Anyway, I was with Morgan. Why would I want to talk to Josh?”  

    “I dunno, Maddie. He just sounded real worried, is all.”  

    “I appreciate that, Jas. I just don't care how he feels or what he thinks. He screwed up. I am having fun. Let’s just leave it, okay?”  

    She nodded her head and walked away. I felt bad for being such a bitch, but why did Josh get to control my life? I drew a shaky breath. Fuck . I just overreacted and walked out on Morgan Young. He actually wanted me to stick around and I just walked away.  

    “Look who finally decided to show up. Morgan get bored already?”  

    My head turned and I narrowed my eyes at Ellie.  

    “Watch it, Ellie. I have been harassed all morning by YOUR fucktard. I’m really not in the mood to deal with his doormat.” I pushed past her and moved to pack up my stuff. The girls had already loaded up their cars and left so I guess Jas and Ellie were headed back together. Or Jas was dropping her off at the airport. Either way, I didn’t care. She wasn’t coming with me. Moving around the tent after putting my stuff in the truck, I took the pegs out of the ground and put them in the container where I kept my tent.  

    “You know what your problem is, Maddison?”  

    “Please, do tell me, Ellie. I am dying to know what YOU think of ME and what my problem is.” I stood up and turned around to face her. I could see she was trying to stand her ground. Ellie had a way of always getting out of the line of fire after she pulled a stunt like this so she didn't cop the fallout. Not this time though.  

    “You are easy. Why are you here and not with Morgan? Did he kick you out after he got what he wanted? Are you trying to make Josh jealous in the hope he’ll dump me and get back with you? It won't work Maddison. We all know you are only good at one thing. Josh got bored. He never really cared about you. You were just an easy lay.”  

    With every word out of her mouth, my hand clenched tighter, and I stepped closer to her. With her last word, I swung and slapped her hard.  

    “Speak that way to me again and I will bury your dead body in the middle of Australia, Ellie. You don’t know shit about what happened with Morgan and me, so keep his name and mine out of your mouth. You lost all right to that when you slept with Josh. Oh and Ellie? If Josh got bored with me, you can be damn sure he is gonna get bored with you in half the time. I won’t be here to see it though. I will be in the States with Morgan, or wherever in the world we feel like going.” I turned my back and swallowed. I hadn't actually made the decision to go with him or even go back to his bus when I was done here, but I knew now
