Spirit / SHANE X OC ❤️

What could of been a great time.

I take a scoop of my chilli jam and stuff it into the jars on my desk. Sam watches as i splat each blob in. The room is filled with a thick spicy scent and my eyes sting from the amount of chilli I've had to handle. I have been regularly dropping jars round to Shane but i have been lying to Sam and Emily that it's all prep for the luau. This is where Sam's prank comes into play. I was not aware at the time but apparently every year Sam enjoys pulling some stupid prank on the townspeople every year. This year is ghost chilli jam for a extra 'kick'.

"Can barely see with the amount of spice." He protests.

"That means its perfect then" i respond laughing. That's when Shane comes through the door

"Morning Shane!" Sam and i exclaims as he lifts his hand in a similar gesture back at us.
He stares at all the chilli jam on the table and looks over at me.

"You should take a break for a while." He says and before i could respond i had been sat onto the chair next to Sam and Shane had begun taking over from what i was doing.

Sam nudges me and starts to whisper the lyrics of 'love is in the air'. It only took me giving him a wack back for him to shut up.

"Can i try some?" He asks analysing the jars infront of him.

I give him a smile trying my best to seem slightly attractive. "Of course Shane"

Sam pulls me off my chair and i fall onto the floor.

"Oh my god! Nat are you ok?!" He screeches. I'm so confused? He pulled me off my chair himself didn't he?

Shane rushes over and scoops me up. He's stronger than I expected. He doesn't seem the sort  to work out or anything like that. Then again he always seem to exceeds my expectations. He sits me down onto my sofa as Sam snickers and he returns to what he was doing. It was all going well until there is a knock at the door.

Sam gets up to answer but backs away as soon as the door is opened.

Evan.

"Seems like you have a nice little place here. Shame that it had to be you living here hey Na Na" he sneers making his way over to me and stroking my cheek.

"Na Na?! You dated this guy? He's a bit full of himself Nat" Sam giggles.

"Shut it." Evan grunts making himself almost gorilla like.

"Don't you dare say that to Sam" Shane shouts moving over to where Evan and i are stood.

WHACK

THUD.

Shanes out cold.

"Jesus you really have found some low lifes here just like you." He laughs as i rush over to shane to make sure he is ok. "Can't believe i was gonna ask you to marry me"

"Marry you?" I repeat "marry you? You just knocked my freind out cold and told the other one to shut it! Your disgusting Evan. I'm glad i didn't"

"Well your gonna have to because i just brought your petty little farm. Let's see what you do when i take your home from you then" his laughter in his response drives me insane as he leaves. I start to break down. Everything was going so well..

*a few hours later*

Shane eventually comes to whilst led out on my sofa. He's as angry as ever seeing my bright red eyes and tear stained face from crying. Me and Sam tell him everything.

"That son of a b!#%@. I swear to got when i see him-" he starts.

"Shane you need rest.." i mutter trying to get him to calm down.

I get up and look around me. I notice things i never have before like how the curtains were what Emily made me for my birthday or how one of my walls isn't painted due to me Sam, and Emily getting distracted and having a paint fight rather than painting the walls. My kitchen where I'd force Shane and Emily to try my hot chilli jam and of course my once a week baking with Jodi. This isn't just where i stay to farm, this is my home.

~a hour and a half later~

Shane has decided he is ok. Evan thunked him pretty hard not going to lie. Glad he is doing ok now. I hope he means it when he says he is though.

"He can't do things like this, just up and take your home. You own this. This is-" he begins.

"It's not worth it Shane, he's in control. If he has the farm there is nothing i can do about it. I wouldn't be able to afford to buy it back either. Although he has no proof he has brought it. He just stormed in and told me so. It doesn't seem a lie though, He has enough money to buy the whole town and still live a easy life" i angrily mutter.

Shane looks angry yet worried as i watch him attempt to think of what to say. I would look to Sam to help lighten the mood but he went along to Harvey's clinic a while ago to seek health advice on Shane.

"Where will you go?" He asks. Staring at me. I see something I've never seen on Shane's face face until now. Tears.

I try to gather a response. "Zuzu city I suppose. I'm sure i have some sort of family member that'll take me in.

"You need to stay, things haven't been the same since you came. He's a waste of space. I promise I'll help you get your home and everything back. I'm here for you Nat. You were there for me. Shouldn't i do the same?" He says.

"You could of gotten yourself killed"

I try to change the subject of conversation

"The valley is a special place full of special people " I grin

"Your a special person Nat"

"A special person?"

"A special person."

Now I come to think of it he's really special to me. Everyone is. They are all special in a unique way and he's right, they all play their own part. I have mine and it wont-

"And i feel like there's something between us more than friendship" Shane blurts out
