Spirit / SHANE X OC ❤️

A few too many

The next night I find myself sitting in the saloon with my usual bunch consisting of Sam, Emily and Alex. We had been doing shot games the whole night and I was slightly. Well very tipsy. Shane wasn't around. Maybe the night prior actually had a effect on him.

"Truth or dare?" Emily is stoned out her mind as well as being drunk.

Everyone agrees.

"Sam truth or dare?" she asked already lined up with a dare

"Truth" He responds. Emily looks slightly disopointed but I know full well she could come up with a harsh truth aswell.

"Do you fancy Penny?" she has a devilish smile spread across her face.

"NO" Sam pretty much screams like a little girl

"Sure you don't" I chimed in.

"Whatever Nat, says you and your dead love life, Alex truth or dare?"

Alex being him typical self picked dare.

"Kiss the prettiest girl in this room" Sam prodded

And before I knew it I was being pulled into a kiss. Shortly after I find myself confusedly staring into his eyes. He drew a stupid smile onto himself. He thinks im pretty?

We share a gaze for a while and i see him in more detail. He has dimples either end of his smile. The ones he always used to stop himself from smiling so people would not see them. He should smile more. He tastes like cheap energy drinks and nutrient bars.

"Nat I see you as more than a friend" He whispers. His voice is so soft.

I pull him in for a kiss myself whilst Emily and Sam cheer. The smell of his strong deodorant that can usually be found in men locker rooms fills my lungs whilst his lips taste of blue raspberry energy drinks. Oddly sweet.

Leaving the saloon we all somehow make it home. I sit down on my kitchen floor and stare at the clock. Nearly 2 am. Before I can recall anything I pass out right there and then.

The next morning i slowly wake up to the sound of knocking on my door. Who could that be this ear- It's already 11am. I finally get out of bed and answer the door still half dressed in the clothes i had been wearing the night before.

Alex is stood on the other side. He quickly pushes past me and sits on my bed.

"So are we going to talk about last night? The kiss?"

Last night clicks into mind

"I didn't know you felt that way" He cooed. He has now started to make his way over to me. I cant find the right words to say so I freeze on the spot.

"Maybe luck brought us together" He has now snaked his arms around my waist as he spoke

"Alex..I don't see you as any more than a friend. I was intoxicated last night. I don't mean any of it" i blurted out pushing him back. I can't let this situation continue.

"Nat. We have something special" He croaked trying not to cry. He's sad? But it was nothing. His emotions have just sprang from 0-100 in seconds

I wipe his tears "Alex. Your just a freind. There's no need to be all emotional about it"

"Its Sam isn't it. You have feelings for Sam! I can see it in the way you both look at eachother"

See this is where shit hits the fan. I know who Sam likes. Sam likes Alex but Sam is currently closeted. To be fair Kent is a scary man to come out to. I cant tell Alex that Sam likes him though. I cant even tell him that Sam likes men.

"I don't have feelings for Sam!" I didn't even stop to think about the words spilling from my mouth. "I have feelings for Shane"

Its finally out...

I witness possibly one of the scariest yet funniest sights known to humankind. Alex shocked.

"Alex I-" I don't know what else to say. Its not like you just told the guy who fancies you that you have feelings for the town drunk.

"So you could have someone like me yet you choose to have the idiot that spends all his time in the tavern getting drunk!" His face is bright red in fury. This is why I don't like men usually

"But hes..." I try to say my peace.

"Hes going to make more stupid decisions and get himself killed anyway" He goes on. Hes starting to go too far...

I hear a slam behind me. It was the door.

I dash to go see who it was. Leaving the farm was a familiar looking purple haired man. Shane

What did he hear?
