Aubrey

Today was the day of the proposal. I ran out of time, I didn't tell Nick.

This was so hard! Everyone loses. Shawn would hate me whether I tell him or not. Even if Shawn proposes to Claire, he'll find out sooner or later and hate me for not telling him.

I know I'm being selfish, but I don't want to lose Shawn.

But if I truly cared about him, I would've told him. But sometimes it's best if I kept quiet. It's too late now to tell him or Nick. Shawn's proposing in two hours! My life is so tragic.

"Earth to Bree?" Shawn waved his hand in front of my face.

"Sorry, what was that?" I snapped out of it.

"You dozed off." He said smugly. "I don't know what I should wear."

"I don't know a suit?" I replied unenthusiastically, clearly not in the mood because of this current situation I'm in.

"I feel like a suit is way too formal. I want this to be special, but not too fancy." He said ignoring my attitude.

I went through his closet and found black skinny jeans, a gray shirt and a leather jacket.

"Go for this look." I said giving the outfit to him. "You'll look pretty badass."

He started stripping, "Dude! Let me get out first!"

As much as I wanted to stay and stare at his perfectly toned body, I left.

When he was done, I styled his hair.

"Done, now makeup."

"Hell no!" We both laughed.

"Thank you so much!" He hugged me.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and stayed there.

"It's finally happening!" I squealed.

"Yeah, what if I mess up?"

"You won't trust me."

"This is all thanks to you, you know?" Shawn said.

"Really?"

"For letting me move in with you. I wouldn't have found Claire if it wasn't for you." He explained.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

Perhaps yeah will be our always.

There was an awkward moment of silence.

"Well, I should probably get going."

I nodded, "Good luck, I'm so happy for you."

"Thank you." He smiled. "For everything, really."

"I'm here for you, babe." I gave him a thumbs up.

He hugged me one more time before getting into his car.

I watched as he drove off.

So I guess Shawn ends up proposing to a cheater and it'll all be my fault. Pretty much.

I sighed and closed the door.

"Is G here?" I heard Ally ask.

"Not yet, Al." I laughed at her little nick name for Jack.

I went back into the kitchen to make us dinner, when I heard the bell rang.

Ally came running to the door. "Gilinsky's here!"

I chuckled opening the door as Ally jumped into his arms.

"Hey, Al." Jack spun her around.

"Where's Johnson?" Ally asked.

"He with Mallory." He replied.

I wiggled my brows, "Ooh.."

Jack laughed, "Smells good, what's cooking good lookin'?"

I rolled my eyes playfully, "Tacos."

Jack hugged me from behind while I cooked the meat.

"Okay, I'm gonna go check on Ally."

I finished cooking the tacos then brought all the toppings to the living room where Ally was cuddling with Jack. I mentally awed at the sight.

"Yay! Tacos!" Ally squealed.

We all filled our tacos and began our Netflix movie marathon. At least it took my mind off things.
