Best Friend (Shawn Mendes)

25

(Yay! Long chapter. I love the relationship between Ally, the Jack's and Sammy omg 😂❤️)

I quietly close the metal gate behind me. Why don't I feel all queasy? You kissed him Ally! That's all you've wanted, why don't you feel happy? Christian kind of strikes me as the short tempered type..

It's not like it matters, it's late and he was probably nervous about his mom catching us. Just forget all the bad shit okay. You kissed him and you enjoyed it a lot!

Now I have Shawn to worry about.. He's probably going to be pissed. Fuck it, it's worth it. I like Christian, he's the only friend besides the guys I have here in LA.

I throw my hood over my head and walk with my hands in my pockets towards the house. As it comes into view, I see five figures in the driveway... with a basketball?

At 11 o'clock at night?

Haha mocking Shawn is fun. I hope they don't notice me, though it's inevitable. I keep my eyes on the ground and make sure the camera is hidden in my pocket.

I look up, about a house away. Cameron, Nash, Aaron, Taylor and Matthew playing basketball. Nash does a layup and holds the rebound, they all state at me.

I walk past them and just walk steadily.

"Where you been?" Asks Cam.

"Out," I say walking up the stairs.

Some snicker, but I open the door and close it. Sammy and Jack G sit on the couch, they are talking but stop once the door closes.

"Hey, girl. Com'ere," says Jack.

I smile at them, real smiles. I start walking over and they make a spot in the middle of the couch for me.

"Sit here," Jack says.

I sit and they both are shoulder to shoulder with me. This makes me feel safe with them, I've just now realized". They're all like older protective brothers that are extremely attractive.

"Whachu want?" I tease.

Sam cracks up, "how you doin'? Your birthday goin' good?" He asks.

I chuckle and turn to him, "yeah," I say. Pretty blue eyes he's got.

"We got a present for you. From me and the Jack's," he says.

I smile, "oh really?" I ask, looking to Jack G.

He nods, his hair jumping around. "Well, where's Johnson?" I ask.

"He's coming," he says deeply. He keeps his lips together with the most blank face. I chuckle again.

"What?" He asks, breaking a smile.

"Nothin," I say and hop up.

"Wait, the present involves getting into a car," says Sam.

I turn and stand a few feet in front of them. "Where we goin'? A trap house or something?" I ask and we all laugh.

"Naw," says Jack.

"But it's almost midnight," I say.

"Come on. You ain't a little girl anymore, baby girl!" Sammy teases.

I laugh at his use of words. "Alright, let me change. It's kinda hot outside," I say and turn and head up the stairs.

I hear them finish their conversation and I pass Johnson in the hall. He stops me, "how long will you be?" He asks.

"Be down in a hot minute," I say and laugh.

He smiles, "alright B," he says.

I walk to my room as I hear a soft strum of a guitar. It's coming from Shawn's room. I stand outside of his door, never really heard him play before.
