LOS ANGELES - Y/N'S POV:
20 missed calls. 47 texts. All from Shawn - God dammit. I swipe left on them all and turn on do not disturb. I'm about to ring for a taxi until I hear someone shout my name. Did someone see me at the airport? Has it been leaked? I spin round and see my two childhood best friends Aurora and Paige. They run up to me and immediately embrace me.
'I fucking knew he was gonna hurt you, I mean no offence but he had a beautiful girl by his side for years and now look how it's played out.'
Paige says while stroking my hair - knowing I find it comforting.
'Leave it Paige, she's clearly in need of getting knock out drunk.'
Aurora giggles but tears begin to prick at my eyes again just at the thought of him.
Rori chirps up,
'Y/N, stop it. I'm not hanging round with you if you're going to cry over Shawn.'
'You should probably leave then.'
I try to joke, but we all know it's certainly not one.
----------------------------
PAIGE'S APARTMENT - 4 HOURS LATER:
'Fucking hell Y/N.'
Aurora says in her rich British accent. I giggle,
'says you oh my god.'
Paige comes practically strutting in, making sure she doesn't trip and break something in her 3inch heels.
'bloody hell. That dress looks a bit nice on you, hugs your curves amazingly. If Shawn won't hit I certainly will.'
She winks at me then blows a kiss, I pretend to catch it and blush. She's right, this dress does fit pretty nicely..
'Yeah solid smash.'
Aurora says, while coating herself in multiple sprays and perfume, making me choke.
----------------------------
The music is loud and inside the flashing lights are blinding, but I don't care. I'm here for a good time, I'm here for me. I can't just expect to wait for Shawn my whole life.
'Y/N! Come on!'
Paige grabs my hand and sits me down at the bar. The DJ'S blasting music and everyone's in good spirit. We do a few shots until we head out onto the dance floor.
At this point, I've lost the girls so I'm dancing in the middle of the dance floor. Swaying my hips along to the music - completely carefree. Then all of a sudden an arm links round my waist and I feel hot breath on my ear.
'What's a pretty girl like you doing out here all alone, Where's that singer boyfriend of you?'
I spin round to see the person I hate the most.
Daniel.
My ex, we dated on and off all through Highschool, Shawn never liked him, Paige and Aurora didn't like him - neither did my parents. So as you can imagine he was a big hit. But he made me feel so special at the time, he was my first everything. Until I found him snogging off my chemistry partner Jess at my own birthday party.
'Did seeing my face put you into a trance?'
His snake like voice snaps me out of my thoughts. '
'Let go of me you dick.'
I smack his shoulder trying to get him off me but obviously I'm nothing compared to him, and I'm not exactly sober either.
'C'mon now baby, didn't you miss me? Not even a tiny bit? The fame lifestyle's done you good, your certainly a catch.'
He leans in closer until he smashes his lips onto mine. I try to break the kiss but I can't, his grip is too strong on me.
When he finally let's go of me I dash off to the security guards. They help me find the girls and we head back to the apartment.
Paige holds me,
'Babe we couldn't find you forever and when we saw you kissing Dan we didn't realise you didn't want it, we're so sorry.'
Rori clings on wrapping her arms around us both, creating an entangled cozy mess.
'Y/N, we really are sorry, we had no idea, are you okay now? 'Yeah, I'm fine - just a bit shaken up that's all, its not like anyone saw.'
Famous last words Y/N.
