How Much Do You Love Me? (Taylor Caniff Fanfiction)

Chapter 46 Its Hard To Let All Of That Sink In

Shelby's P.O.V
I wake up from Ryan's alarm clock and wipe my eyes so I can get a clear vision. I see Ryan walk out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his hips.

Ryan: Well good morning gorgeous.

Me: Good morning Ryan.

I stand up and stretch for a minute then sit back down on the bed and cover up. Because I'm just that lazy.

Ryan: Shelby,can you cover your eyes or do something to cover your eyes because I need to get my boxers on.

Me: Okay then.

I hide my face into the covers and wait for Ryan to tell me it's okay to uncover my eyes.

Ryan: Okay Shelby, I'm done.

I uncover my eyes from the covers and see he has his boxers on. I lay my head back down and close my eyes, thinking about mine and Taylor's relationship.

Ryan's P.O.V
I'm starting to really like Shelby but I don't wanna scare her off with my feelings and like tell her out loud like "Hey Shelby I really like you and think about you 24/7." She would never talk to me ever again if that happens and things would be really awkward between the both of us. But I'm really starting to like or I mean love Shelby. I know it's wrong because she's dating Taylor and they both have strong feelings for each other and I don't wanna be the one to ruin their relationship.
I see Shelby tearing up and so I walk over to her and see what's the matter.

I sit beside her and put my hand on her back.

Me: Shelby? Are you okay?

She doesn't answer at first but then she brings up her head and rubs her eyes with her hands.

Shelby: To be honest Ryan, I'm not okay. I don't know if me and Taylor are still together and the guys are probably mad at me for running off from them and it's just hard to let all of that sink in.
I look into her eyes and let out a warm and gentle smile since she's told me before she likes guys with braces. Then she starts to smile but then I know it's a fake smile.

Me: Shelby, look it was just a simple mistake that's all. He's probably over it now. I mean if I was Taylor I wouldn't be mad at you just because you forgot. You've had a lot on your mind you know. Don't let it sink in because it's not that big of a deal. The guys, they're not mad at you. They probably think that you needed some time to get all of that off your mind. Just try to look past all of this okay?

Shelby starts crying more and more so I bring her into a hug.

Me: It'll be okay I promise Shelby. You just need a friend by your side, that's all.

She lays her head on my shoulder and I can feel her tears coming down.

Shelby: Ryan, can you take me home right now?

Me: Of course Shelby, whatever you want.

Shelby starts gathering up her things and I start getting dressed for the day. I put on some jeans, a simple plain t-shirt, and then black socks and my Sperry shoes. Then I put on some deodorant. I grab my keys and my phone then walk out of the house and see Shelby inside the car already waiting to leave and head home.

I get into the car and start it up and drive off.

Shelby falls asleep because she was tired of crying and her eyes were red and puffy.

*Skip to Shelbys house*

I arrive at Shelbys house and park the car. I wake Shelby up gently and she starts groaning for a minute then she opens her eyes.

Shelby: Thank you so much for picking me up and taking me into your home Ryan. You are an amazing friend and...just thank you so much for being there for me when I needed a friend.

She brings me into a hug and I pat her back gently telling her everything is going to be okay.

Me: You're welcome so much Shelby. I'm here for you whenever you need me. I hope yours and Taylor's relationship goes well. Take care now Shelby and I will see you later.

She gets out of the car and starts walking to her front door. Then waves at me once she's about to open the door and I wave back.
I start the car and start thinking to myself, Taylor's one lucky guy. Any guy would be lucky to have an amazing girl like Shelby. I just wish Shelby and I could become a little closer with each other and it's all to difficult to just even think about it. But I'll just have to wait till she feels the same with me. But Taylor and the guys think I'm just one of those bad dudes even though I'm not. I don't know why they think that I mean once Shelby tells them I took real good care of her then they have to believe that I'm a good guy. Right?
