PRANKSTERS.

Chapter 40

Madi's POV

My phone pings as I slump down on the couch.

It's Shawn.

'what happened? is this because of me?' it says.

'no. it's all my fault. I told Brandon she had a boyfriend at the time and then she kind of got really mad at me and now she's up in her room and won't let me in.' I reply.

'why did she do it, Madi? why did she kiss him?'

'she missed you. so much. Brandon just came over 'cause he's a new student and the principal told him to. I was on the phone, so they went outside and started talking. she thought you were ignoring her.'

'I wasn't. I was just busy.' he simply says.

'I get that she kissed another guy and you can't get over that. but she's hurting. she didn't have anyone there for her, Shawn. I wasn't even there. I feel horrible.' I text.

'if anything, I should feel bad. I didn't even give her a chance to explain herself. but now that I think about it, why should I? how can you explain that you kissed someone even when you had a boyfriend? anyways, I gotta go. bye.'

And with that, the conversation was finished.

Allie's POV

I feel numb.

Anytime I try to do anything,my mind wanders to Shawn and I break down.

I hate myself for hurting him.

I have been drowning myself in the internet. I've been watching more YouTube videos than sleeping.

I start yet another video by Marcus Butler, when my phone chimes.

It's from my friend, Bella.

It said, "theres a crzy prty at Logan's house. b there or b square."

I sigh.

You know what? Screw it!

I am going to that goddamn party and I'm gonna live.

I pull on leggings, a P!ATD shirt, and white converse.

I get in my jeep, and drive to Logan's.

It's only 9:00 and a fourth of the party-goers are passed out on the ground.

Ugh. Maybe this wasn't the best idea.

I turn to leave, when I feel a clammy hand grab my arm.

I turn around, and see Shawn.

What in the actual fuck is he doing here?!

"Heyyyyyyyyy." He slurs. "You're pretty."

"Oh my god." I say. He's drunk off his ass.

He stumbles and falls in my arms.

I drag him to my car, and put him in the backseat.

He falls with a thump and groans.

I just sigh and get in the front seat.

I drive home and plop him inside.

I consider putting him on the couch, but my bed is comfier.

I don't plan on staying here anyways.

I get out my savings, my suitcase, and all the stuff I need. I plop it into one suitcase, grab my keys, and leave.

I don't know where I'm going, but it's far from here.

Madi's POV

It's been about an hour or so since Allie left to go who knows where. When she left, I ended up falling asleep in my room. I decided it was time to wake up and actually do something or even see if she's back.

I walk down the stairs, still in my pajamas, and walk into the kitchen to make a snack. I decided to go see if Allie is in her room and if she wants some.

I walk into her room and see a body laying across her bed.

And it's not her.

I scream and drop my bowl of chips, thinking someone intruded our house.

Although, the person jolts awake and looks at me.

It's Shawn.

"Shawn? W-what are you doing here?"

"Um. Well... I think Allie brought me here." he says, holding his head.

"You think?" I say, putting my hand on my hip.

"I might have been slightly intoxicated.." he says, looking down.

Great.

"Ok.. I'm just gonna go try and call Allie. I haven't seen her all day. Where did you see her?" I ask, dialing her number.

"At some party."

The phone keeps ringing and ringing, and it ends up going to voicemail.

"She didn't answer. Did she tell you where she went afterwards?" I ask him.

"Nope. I fell asleep." he slurs.

"You're no help right now." I roll my eyes and walk back downstairs.

I try texting Allie five times.

I try calling her about ten times, but it goes straight to voicemail. That either means her phone is dead, or she turned it off.

Absolutely freaking amazing.
