Shawn's pov
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
When we get to the beach, Mahogany and Isabel sit on a towel and start to talk. I sat down a few feet away from them, but not far enough that I can't hear them. Isabel looks at me and I turn around to face the ocean, pretending not to listen to their conversation.
"I feel really bad." Isabel whispered to Mahogany. "Why?" She asks. "Because.. because. he saw me kiss Hayes. & as soon as I turned around he was looking at us; then I knew." She whispers back, as if trying to say she's sorry for all the pain she caused, as if she's saying she wants me back, as if she's saying she knows half or even the slightest bit of what I'm going through. "Then, go talk to him. You & Hayes aren't even dating anymore. it was just an innocent kiss. Right.?" Mahogany says. "What? Oh, yeahh. It was just an innocent kiss. But I don't think I should talk to him. There's nothing to talk about really. If he wants to say something, then he'll come to me. I wouldn't have to go to him to get it out because I'm not the one who's gonna 'talk' or whatever." She replies, using air quotes when she says talk.
I finally decide that I've heard enough of their conversation. I stand up & walk down to the shore, where the sand's a little cooler. I sit there, staring out at the ocean. Then suddenly, I feel a strong slap across the back, & it breaks me out of my thoughts, leaving me somewhat mad. I turn my back around to find Cam & Nash standing there laughing. "What the hell?!" I kind of yell. "What was that for!" I yell again. Now, they've kinda stopped laughing. "Sorry man." Cam says. "Yeahh. We just thought that you needed a little something to set you into a fun mood. We're at the beach dude. Have some fun Shawn." Nash says. I turn back around & stare out in the distance. "I'm not in the mood." I say. "Well, what's wrong?" Cam asks, sitting down next to me. "Yeahh. Tell Dr. Nash & Cam." Nash says sitting on the other side of me. "Well, actually. I don't really know. I mean I do, but I don't wanna talk about it." I say. "Just tell us." Cam says. "Well, it's about your sister." I say, taking deep breaths to keep myself from crying or anything. (Yes, guys cry too.) "She's with Hayes & it hurts so much to watch them together." I say, not facing either of them. Cam puts his hand on my shoulder. "Look man, I know it's hard right now, but it'll get better. I promise ,she'll come around." He says. "Yeahh. Just give her some time." Nash says. "How? How much more time?" I'm yelling now. And before I can stop myself, I'm already running to the car. I hear Cam & Nash coming after me. "Shawn! Wait up dude!" Nash yells. "Shawn! Let's talk about this, please!" Cam calls after me. I stop myself & let them catch up. "How?! I've already given her almost a year!" I yell. I sit down on the bench & start to cry into my hands. Cam & Nash sit next to me. "Look. Give her time. I swear she'll come around. And it's not your fault anyway." Cam says. "Yes, it is! I went away for a year. I knew it was a mistake, but I couldn't let my fans down." I say, crying again. "You could've just called it off. I'm sure they'd understand. Shawn, they're your fans, they want you to be happy." Nash says. "Or you could've asked me if you wanted to take her with you." Cam says. I look up. "You would've let me take her on the tour.?" I asked surprised. Cameron's obviously protective about his sisters, especially his little sister. "Yeah. I'd come too of course, or ask Nash if he could watch her." He says. "Thanks guys." I say. Just as they were about to say something, everyone else came running up to us. "Hey. Why'd you guys take off so quickly?" Matt asks, out of breathe. "Sorry." I mumble. "How about if we go to the boardwalk or something?" Cam blurts out, & we all agree.
*at the boardwalk*
As Matt and I hand everyone their ice cream, Mahogany & Isabel come up to me. "Hey." Bella says as we all start to walk again. "Hey." I say. "So what was that about?" She asks, pointing out when I ran from the beach. "Ohh, umm. Nothing really. Just needed some air." I say quickly, too quickly. Then I run to Matt & jump on his back, trying to show her that everything's fine.
