"Just Friends"

California

*Shawns POV*

"Mom, dad, I want to ask you something" I said sitting at the island.

"What's wrong honey?" My mom asked drying her hands off.

"I want to move to Cali" I said straight forward.

They looked at each other and I sighed.

"Is it because Carries moving there?" My dad said.

I nodded slightly and looked up at them. My mom smiled and nodded.

"If that's your decision" she said.

I was confused on how easy it was. I smiled and hugged them both. I ran upstairs and dialed Nash's number.

"Hey dude, I need to ask you something" I said as soon as he answer.

"What's up man!" He said. "yes you can stay with cam and i"

"Wait what?" I asked.

"I knew you couldn't live without Carrie so you would find a way to move down here" he replied.

"How'd you know Carrie was moving down there?" I asked.

"She told us dummy" he replied.

I chuckled and smiled.

"Thanks man" I said.

"No problem, just text me the details later" he said kindly.

"Alright later nash" I replied and quickly hung up.

"Nash said I could stay with him" I said to my parents.

They smiled and nodded. I walked to my room and began to pack. I picked up my phone and was about to call Carrie and realized I've already told her. I hung up and finished packing. I took a nap and ate dinner with my family for the last time.

"When's Aaliyah suppose to be home from vacation?" I asked taking a bite.

"Here in an hour I think" my mom mumbled.

I nodded and smiled. We watched a movie and waited for my baby sister. She came stumbling in with her stuff. I ran over to her and hugged her swinging her in the air. She chuckled and dropped her stuff.

"What's up dork?" She chuckled.

I laughed and rubbed the top of her head.

"Hi honey" my mom said kissing her forehead.

She walked to her room and I followed to help unpack.

"So I have some good news and some bad news" I said putting her shirts away.

She looked at me and cleared her throat.

"Which one do you wanna hear first?" I asked.

"Good news" she replied.

"Guess who I'm dating" I replied.

"Who?!" She asked excitedly.

"Your favorite person ever!" I said.

"Ariana Grande?" She said confused.

"Okay your second favorite person" I chuckled.

She tilted her head.

"Carrie" I finally said.

She looked at me and jumped on me.

"Finally" she chuckled.

"Why does everybody keep saying that?!" I asked.

"Because you're a chicken and never asked her in the past and you finally manned up and did it!" She replied. "Don't you remember the 8th grade dance accident?"

*Flashback*

"Hi Carrie" I said slurring my words nervously.

"Hey Shawn" she replied.

I smiled and looked at the floor. I held the rose behind my back and rocked on my heels. She bit her lip and played her fingers.

"So are you going to the dance?" I asked opening my bag of lunch sitting down.

"I don't know, nobody's asked me yet" she replied.

I got excited and cleared my throat.

"Hey hot stuff, you gotta date for the dance?" A kid named Brent asked walking up to us.

I got scared and spilled milk on my shirt. I began to clean up and Carrie helped me.

"So?" He waited.

She looked at me and waited.

"No" she replied shaking her head.

I sighed.

"Alright cool so I'll see you later" Brent said smiling.

She nodded and he walked away. She looked at the floor as i licked my braces with my mouth closed.

*end of flashback*

Aaliyah rolled on the floor laughing.

"That's my favorite story!" She laughed.

I glared at her and threw a shirt at her.

"Alright what's the bad news?" She asked standing up.

"I'm moving" I replied.

She looked up at and nodded.

"Oh, where?" She asked.

"California, so I can be with Carrie" I said.

She nodded and smiled.

"Does that I mean I get your room?" She asked.

I chuckled and pushed her shoulder playfully.
