Best Friend (Shawn Mendes)

16

From Unknown: Ally, it's Ron. I'm very angry you haven't answered your calls and texts. I called the camp you said you were going to, they said you never even enrolled. Your a little liar.. Once I find where you are, I'm dragging you home and you're never to see daylight again. If I find out you're with that boy.. There'll be hell to pay! It's quite easy to track your phone actually, I'm tracking it right now. See you soon, and you're grounded!

My eyes go wide and I start running downstairs. Im running so fast I run into Shawn walking in the hallway. I'm breathing really fast and getting nervous. He grabs my shoulders and looks into my eyes.

"What's wrong? You okay?" He asks.

I swallow and hold up my phone to the text. He takes my phone and reads it. Matt and Sam start standing behind him, reading it too. Shawn's face goes blank.

"Shit shit shit. You need to get rid of this phone!" He says and holds onto it.

"That dude's a freak," says Matt.

"What does he mean no daylight?" asks Sam.

I put my hands to my forehead, "I don't fucking know. He found out I lied to him and I'm in a different state! This is bad," I say and start pacing.

"Ally, we'll deal with this later. But first," says Shawn.

I stop pacing and see him throw my iPhone 5 against the wall, shattering into tons of pieces.

"What the fuck?!" I say and run to my phone and try and pick it up.

"I'll buy you a new one," says Shawn and he grabs my arm. I stand up beside him and all three of them look at me sympathetically.

"You're not actually living with that guy are you?!" Asks Sammy.

I shrug, "ordered by law," I say. "He's my legal guardian," I say unhappily.

"You aren't going back there Ally. Trust me," he says and they both walk to their rooms.

I look at Shawn and sigh.

"Come on kid, lets go have a good time," he says. Something about his voice makes me happier than anything else really.

He walks to his room while I go to mine, I realize that if we're going to Malibu, I'll need to wear my swimsuit. I take off my outfit, put on a ruffled palm trees top and black bottoms. Then I just slide my other clothes over.

I try not to think about Ron and just hope he's too lazy to come get me.

We arrive at the sports complex thing, no one is here. It's at the end of the road to the left of the trail from last night. There's a tennis court, sand volleyball, a small baseball field and two basketball hoops. These people sure are wealthy and athletic.

I find a bench right outside the fenced in court and watch the game. They start playing 4 on 5 and then Nash, Aaron and Matt decide to play tennis. I watch them three and the other six back and forth.

"Wow you come around a lot," I hear and jump at the sound of his voice. Christian.

I put my arm on the back of the bench and turn to face him and smile. "Oh yeah haha. The boys just wanted to play a little before we leave," I explain.

I cannot believe I'm keeping this calm..

He looks down and smiles at me, "mind if I sit?" He asks and points to the empty space next to me.

I shake my head, "no please do," I say and automatically regret saying it. I sound like a 50 year old!

He chuckles and sits down and we both focus on the boys' game. "Where are you guys going after this?" He asks.
