Still Can't Get Over You

Untitled Part 60

Shannon's POV;

I can't believe how mad I am at my little sister right now! I had thought that when the flowers had stopped that meant that whoever it had been had gotten fed up with the whole thing and just left her alone. But clearly that wasn't the case.

For the past few months she had been hiding the fact that she was petrified of answering her phone. I had been there when she had received some of those calls and she had acted as cool as a cucumber and told me that it was a wrong number.

Looking at H, I could see that she was clearly weirded out by the whole thing too; my arms claimed her tightly and held her close.

"You ok beautiful?" I asked brushing the hair from her beautiful green eyes.

"Mmhmm, how are you doing with it all?"

"I am so mad at her, I can't believe that she was down playing this, I mean Jesus H Christ she was going out by herself, she was sleeping in rooms on her own, wondering around backstage alone...anything could have happened to her,"

"But it didn't and now she is ready to deal with it,"

"But why now? Why is she so suddenly ready to deal with it?"

"I don't know what you're getting at,"

"Jeff announces that he is in love with my sister and she breaks up with Carmine, she is getting ready to face the fact that some whack job has been jerking off while calling her...its so much to take in and I can't help but think about all the times they flirted with one another..."

"Ok we're talking about Jeff and Dylan again?"

"Yeah! How could I not have seen that Jeff was in love with my sister!" I exclaimed holding H to me.

"Because we have had so much on our plates; its not easy to see other things when you are dealing with your own stuff, so don't go beating yourself up about it..."

"You don't seem to be so surprised about it?" I observed losing myself in those beautiful emerald eyes that had always had this power over me.

"Well I'm not really...I always thought that they would be good together, I mean you can see that right?"

"I can!" I admitted nodding my head.

I had been watching them lately; their flirting with one another was something that you couldn't help but notice, they were always exchanging playful banter with one another, always finding ways to touch one another but I had been so wrapped up in my relationship and all that Mark had done that I hadn't really seen it as anything other than just playful flirting.

"So if they were to get together you'd be ok with it?"

"Yeah...I really think that I would, I mean what could be better than my best friend and my sister together?" I said knowing in my heart that there would be no one who would treat my little sister better than Jeff.

After all that she had gone through with Carmine, she deserved someone who would be there, someone who wouldn't judge her for the woman that she was or belittle her for the way that she chose to look.

"Then the problem is?" H asked resting against me; giving me the comfort that I needed in this moment. It was something that I had slowly become accustomed to with her and where it had once left me trembling with how tender she was it now felt more right than I had ever imagined it to feel.

"There is no problem...I just; I can't believe that I didn't see it! My only problem is the fact that she with held the fact that she was getting these calls,"
