Something Big [A Sequel to show you]

Chapter eighteen

     I pack my bags as Gabriel sits on my bed. "Why do you have to leave so late in the night?", he asks. I shrug and continue to pack. "I don't know why you have to go anyway, isn't The Magcon Boys over? Wasn't that the whole meaning of that video?". I zip up my bag and throw it over my shoulder, then stand.

    "You watched the video?", I ask him. He nods. "Well, I don't really know either. That's what I thought too, that it was the over. But I guess we're gonna give it one last go. Now that I'm complaining, I miss all of us being all together". He raises his eyebrow at me. "Not Shawn. I didn't mean that I miss him Gabriel, I'm with you now". He smiles and I smile back, then walk over to him and peck his lips.

   "I'm just gonna really miss you, promise to text me and call me?", he asks. I nod and kiss him again. "Good. I'm gonna go, call me when you're on the road. Or just text me, ya, text me". I nod and he hugs me, then leaves.

   I finish packing everything then go downstairs and wait for the boys. I hear the van horn outside and run out. I climb into the van and take a seat between Aaron and Matt. No one says anything, just keeps there eyes on either the ground, out the window, or on there phone. And I hate it. "This isn't us", Jack G says from the seat behind me.

   "No, it's not. What's wrong with us? Before we could f shit up, now we're like, respectful. I hate it", Cameron says. Everyone laughs. "Let's lose our attitudes and when we get to the motel we're gonna party. But not really, because we might wake Shawn". I smile lightly and look down at the ground.

   "Leave it to music boy to fall asleep first", Aaron laughs. "I guess he has a reason, he is performing tomorrow". I ignore the feeling that I get in my chest. The feeling of excitement, the feeling of love. But I have a boyfriend. I FORGOT TO TEXT HIM!

    To Gabriel: I'm on the rode, miss you (:

    From Gabriel: Miss you too! I would say text me when you get to the motel buuut I'll probably be asleep. So text me in the morning (: have fun gorgeous

   To Gabriel: Sleep tight beautiful. <3

    Yep, I'm still a cheesy bitch. Whatcha gonna do? "Who's Gabriel?", Aaron whispers. I just shake my head and go to my gallery and show him a picture of me and him. He frowns but then forces a smile. "He's cute". Just as fast as the conversation started, it ends.

   We arrive at the motel. "Get up biiish!", Nash hisses to Shawn. Shawn mumbles something then everyone gets out of the van one by one. I turn around and see Cameron pulling Shawn by his arm out of the van. I ignore it and walk in the motel.

   I instantly recognize the person behind the desk. It's one of Gabriel's friends. He smiles when he sees me. "Hi Taylor!", he greets. 

    "Hi Eric", I greet back and smile at him. He checks us in and gives us a key. He hands Nash a paper and Nash groans when he sees it. He leads us to our rooms and before we all pick a roommate, Nash stops us.

    "We have a room chart.... Me with Cameron, Jack with Jack, Carter and Matt, Aaron with Hayes, and Taylor with Shawn", he says. I mentally groan and pick up my bags and walk into a room, Shawn following behind. Now I know why Nash groaned, obviously knowing this may ruin the trip for all of us. No one likes awkward ex boyfriends together.

    Shawn and I don't say anything to each other. I just throw my bag down on the floor and look in my bag for my pillow. "Shit", I mumble. I stand and then remember I haven't actually seen it in quite a while.

   I turn around and see Shawn toss something on his bed. My pillow. I raise my eyebrow at him. "Oh, yeah. I took it last trip. I needed it", he says. I just look at him. He took it so it would feel like I was always be with him, and he still uses it.

   I don't say anything. I go to the bathroom and change into pajamas. I come out and send Gabriel a quick text and then get in bed and fall fast asleep. I wake up when someone knocks on the door, then Shawn's soft voice. "He's sleeping... okay.... I'm not waking him up... I'll come...okay, give me a minute". He closes the door and walks into the bathroom. I sit up and he looks at me when he comes out. "They're making videos in J and J's room, do you wanna come??". I shake my head and lay back down. "Okay..". Then he leaves the room.

     The next morning I groan and get up. I look at Shawn's bed and see that he isn't in it. Then he walks out of the bathroom brushing his teeth. "We're leaving for the meet and greet at 11", he says. I nod and he goes back in the bathroom. I pick out an outfit and lay it on the bed, then get a bandanna to match it.

   Shawn comes back in the room and I go in the bathroom to take a shower. I take a quick shower and "accidentally" use Shawn's body wash and shampoo. I get out and wrap a towel around my waist and walk out. "Do you mind?", I ask Shawn.

   "Nope", he says, continuing to tie his shoe sitting on his bed, his eyes never leaving me. I roll my eyes and grab my clothes and walk back into the bathroom. I change quickly and fix my hair and brush my teeth.

   We leave the motel soon after and arrive at the meet and greet. We talk to some of the fans and then it's time for Shawn to perform. We all go into a room and Shawn stands on a stage. "This one is new... and really special", he says, before singing.

      "I promise that one day I'll be around, I'll keep you safe I'll keep you sound".

   I listen as he sings and I can't help the tears to come to my eyes. He thanks everyone and then comes off the stage. He walks past me and a girl beside me smiles. I turn to her and she turns back. "My name is Aspen", she says. "And I know love when I see it. When I write music, especially a song like he sung, it's meant for someone".

   "So?", I ask.

   "It was meant for you, I'm sorry you're too oblivious to see it", and with that, she walks off.

   A/N: So, Aspen was the character that the winner of the contest made! SORRY SHE WAS IN THERE FOR SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. But she shall be mentioned some. I just didn't have any other ideas.
