Clouded (Jc Caylen fanfiction)

Chapter 37

{keep in mind that this Perris and Shane scene is happening at the same time as the previous chapter. (Jc and Fey in there canoe}

( Perris' P.O.V )

I sit in the front of the canoe as Shane sits behind me. This is to prevent the possibility of him turning around to start a conversation with me. Also for the fact that I can't stern a canoe for shit.

"Hey" Shane's whispered voice came from behind me.

I didn't turn around, instead I pretended not to hear.

"Perris," he says a little louder then a whisper.

Maybe if I don't reply he will just stop talking to me. My hopes were let down when I felt a sudden splash of cold water on my back and arm. Maybe it was an accident so i'm just going to let it go. It wasn't an accident, I felt another much large splash that soaked my hair.

My head whips around to face the boy who seems to be causing me so many problems.

"What?" I say harshly waiting to here what he possibly have to say.

"About what happened earlier," he said breaking eye contact with me, "I honestly didn't mean to catch you off guard or anything. I just thought it would be a good time since everything with that other guy. You honestly deserve so much better then him, or even me, but i promise i won't hurt you. I just care about you... a lot actually. I know that you probably didn't want to hear all this, especially from a guy like me. I just didn't know how else to tell you."

He was out of breath when he finished talking. His eyes met mine as he waiting for a reply.

"Shane, I, I'm not sure what to say," I say almost in a whisper.

I stay in silence before turning to look away from his eye. I don't think i could look at him one moment longer, for if I did, I would probably cave and take him into my arms or something chessy like that.

I never thought that Shane ever actually cared about me like that. I always thought he pitied me or just wanted to get into my pants. That's the reason I was so hard on him. I didn't want to get hurt or get into another terrible relationship with someone who didn't truly love me. Simply i just don't want to get hurt.

"Don't worry about it Perris, just paddle, it's fine," he says with a sigh.

Although I am not looking at him, I can tell that he has a frown on his face. Shane was actually a great guy and I have just hurt him. I have always been so rude to him, i'm surprised he even wants to talk to me.

"I'm sorry," I say under my breath not even sure I even want to be heard.

There was a long pause before I opened my mouth to repeat what I have just said. My mouth opened to repeat what i had just said, but I could't. I wasn't ready to face my mistakes.

I heard a small voice from behind me, "It's okay, i'll wait."

Shane really heard me. I Nod even thought I'm not looking at him.

"You're worth waiting for," he whispered to himself.

I'm not sure if I was meant to hear that. But I did and yes, that's my heart beating faster, yes that's a huge smile on my face, and yes those are butterflies in my stomach.

"OH MY GOD! YIKES!" I heard a high pitch screech.

I look around in search for Fey, she was no where to be found. I thought for sure it had to be her due to the fact it was so high pitch.

"HELP ME GUYS!" this time it was a different cry but was from the same direction.

"This is the day I die!" screamed the same person who yelled first.
