Outcasts Within Our Being (A Mianite Fanfic)

Chapter 11 - In Love With My Best Friend

3rd Person's POV

The next morning, Jordan woke up from his comforting night with Katie. He shivered as the morning breeze blew into the room, the warmth of Katie's body against his, gone. The flipped over to his other side, checking where Katie had went. To his surprise, Katie lay on her side of the bed, sleeping soundly.

Had it been a dream? He was positive he was awake then, and that Katie had snuggled up next to him. He wiped away the thought, hastily grabbing into his clothes that just so happened to be folded neatly on a vanity.

He stepped into the bathroom (that suddenly appeared because why not) throwing his pajamas into the bin. He swerved his hair up a bit to give it some life, as his eyes trailed to the mirror. He had realized his beard had grown over the past few months, giving him a hint of a stubble.

The door creaked open, as the half asleep Katie walked up on him. She rubbed her eyes a bit before she had realized Jordan was in the same room. The half naked Jordan gasped in shock, his instincts instantly telling him to slip on some clothes. Katie immediately went for the door, slamming it shut.

"WE KNOW YOU HAVE SPARKLEZ." Tom screeched, pinning Shawn against the wall. "WHERE IS HE?" Shawn narrowed his eyes in annoyance, refusing to talk. Sonja tugged on Tom's shoulder, begging him to let go of Shawn. Tucker and Wag watched in amusement as Tom constantly interrogated Shawn.

Tom hesitantly loosened his grip on Shawn, gesturing him to the couch. Shawn casually walked over to the seat, arms crossed. Tom pulled out a chair and places it just across the coffee table. He sat down and demanded Shawn to speak. "Talk. NOW." Shawn frowned, but finally began to explain.

"Your not the only one who's worried!" Shawn retorted, raising both hands in the air. "Katie disappeared too! The last time I saw her, she was going to apologize to your stupid sparkly friend!" Tom furrowed his eyebrows and slammed his hands against the coffee table.

"SPARKLY DICK ISNT STUPID. HES JUST NAIVE. And a fool. And slightly soft... BUT BESIDES THE POINT." The three face-palmed in the background, knowing they made a mistake letting Tom interrogate him.

Shawn shrugged, beginning to stand up, before Tom pushed him back onto the couch. Shawn rolled his eyes and glared at Tom. "YOURE JUST GONNA LEAVE?!" Tom shrieked. Shawn whipped around, face to face with Tom.

"I don't know about you, but I'm not just gonna stand here moping around while my sister is out there somewhere." He scoffed, grabbing his coat and exiting the house. He quickly came back. "Wait a minute, GET OUT OF HERE! This is my house!" The group quickly followed the angry and upset man in search for Jordan and Katie.

Katie's POV

I rubbed my rapidly-dimmed eyes as I stumbled into the bathroom. As my vision became clear, Jordan had been staring in the mirror, observing his face. He saw me staring, tumbling back in shock. I had realized he was barely dressed, only his underwear covering his body.

I stood there for a moment before I had snapped out of my trance. I flushed in embarrassment, quickly slamming the door shut. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. That did not just happen. It just did. My conscious told me.

I slid down to the ground, trying to erase the image in my head. He does look pretty cute. No. Just shut up! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Why the hell do I keep embarrassing myself in front of him? And I literally just stood there staring at him! What is wrong with you Katie?! I groaned, burying my face into my hands.

Someone tapped my shoulder. As I expected, it was Jordan, giving me a pitiful smile. "I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to and-" He laughed a bit, before patting my back. "It's alright, it happens to all of us." He assured, as he smiled at me awkwardly. Dear god, why does he have to be affectionate? Just get me out of this hellhole... I looked into his deep blue eyes. He is so cute...

Just admit it. You like him. No. I don't like him. I love him. I'm in love with my best friend.
