-Amanda's P.O.V-
A few weeks passed after I ended things with Jack. I stayed in my room, only leaving to get food, and not answering any calls. Jack, Johnson and Brooke have tried calling me but I didn't answer any. I didn't think I would take this as hard as I have, but I did. I kind of fell into a deep depression and it was only a week.
I really wanted chocolate and my mom was at lunch with her friends which means I have to get up and go to the store. I didn't look good at all. My hair was in a messy bun, no makeup and sweat pants.
I hesitantly walked out of my room and downstairs. I went outside and it felt so different. I haven't been outside in so long.
I got to the store. I was going to be quick here so I could get back home.
I finally found the isle with a bunch of candy in it. I grabbed a couple of bags of chocolate and quickly walked out of the isle. I bumped into someone and dropped my things. I started picking up my stuff, embarrassed. The person I ran into began to help me.
"I'm sorry" I looked up at the guy and he was handsome. It was weird because I swear I've met him before. He smiled and waved it off.
"It's okay- wait you're Amanda, right?" I nodded slowly. He obviously knew me.
"I'm Shawn. We met at the mall a while ago" then I remembered him.
"Oh hey!" I stood up with my food "how's it going?"
"Good, good. It's nice seeing you again" I smiled back at him. It was awkward because I haven't really texted him.
"I'm sorry about not texting you. I haven't really talked to anyone in a while"
"It's no problem. I wanted to ask if everything was okay but I knew it would take time" I'm surprised he didn't know because now, everyone seemed to know.
I ran my fingers through my hair awkwardly "bad breakup. He was cheating."
"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that" he paused. "Was it the guy you brought up the first time we met?" I laughed as my face turned bright red.
"Yeah" he laughed. Silence grew between us.
"Would you wanna hang out?" I glanced between my chocolate to him. I think he got the message because he smirked.
"I know you wanna go home and eat all of that by yourself. It's okay, I understand." I felt terrible so I gave in.
"Well I guess you could join me" his face lightened and we went to the check out isle. I set down my stuff and pulled out my money while the lady scanned my items.
"I got it" Shawn gently pushed me to the side and payed for my stuff, then his.
"What the hell?"
"What? I wanted to pay for it."
"No. Here" I tried handing him my money "take this" he shook his hands and started grabbing bags. I sighed and went to go help him.
We got outside "um I'll just follow you to your house" I nodded and looked for my car.
Eventually I found it and put my stuff in the back. Shawn found my car and started following me. He's really nice but I felt uncomfortable having him over to my house. I just hope he wouldn't do anything.
We finally made it to my house and he helped me carry stuff inside.
"Thank you" he winked.
"Um wanna go up to my room? I have movies up there."
"Yeah. Here I got this" he picked up the bag of chocolate and followed me to my room.
"I like your house. It's nice" he set down the bags on my bed and sat down with them.
"Thank you. Make yourself at home" he already made himself at home because he was relaxed without his shoes.
I slightly laughed and went to my side of the bed
"I'm sorry for not talking much. It's hard to."
"I understand. You can tell me if you want."
I shrugged and opened the bag "it's pretty easy to understand. I found my boyfriend, Jack, in bed with a little 15 or 16 year old. He's 19 so it's illegal" I tried to keep myself together. Just talking about it made me sick.
"Wow. What's her name?"
"Madison Beer" I rolled my eyes at the mention of her name.
"No way! Is your boyfriend Jack Gilinsky?" I slowly nodded and it looked like I blew his mind.
"Woah I didn't know you were dating him. And I know her."
"You do?" He nodded as if it was a bad thing.
"Yeah I knew her at my old school. She had a reputation for being a slut and a bitch."
"I could see that being true" I didn't usually talk about her or Jack but it naturally came out. I sounded like a jealous lunatic.
"How do you know Jack?"
"I know his best friend. We've hung out a little bit. The last time we've hung out was like a week ago. He looked terrible. It was like he wasn't even living, you know what I mean?" I nodded. He cared still? I thought he would've been with Madison but I guess not.
"I thought he would've moved on."
"Nope. He talked about you nonstop. It was depressing to be around so I haven't talked to him since then."
I honesty didn't want to talk about it, so I watched the movie instead. He got the hint and remained silent.
After a little bit I began to fall asleep. I was so tired I would nod off.
"Hey" Shawn tapped my shoulder.
"Hm?" I looked over with my eyes half open.
"Go to bed. You can't even stay awake."
"Nah I'm fine" he stood up and walked over to my side. He scooted me down and covered me up.
"Goodnight"
