Empty Promises // s.m.

magcon: day 1 - pt 2

"Why don't you sit down and wait for him. Maybe you can explain what happened." Cameron coaxes me to the couch.

I shake my head as more tears fall. I don't cry. I've never cried like this. "He doesn't care. Did you see him?"

"I'm sure he'll hear you out, you guys are best friend goals." He pats my arm.

"Was." I frown and try to wipe at my face.

"Paisley!" Kelly comes running into the room. "I have surprisingly great news for you. So- what happened?" She cocks her head, noticing my broken state.

"Nothing. I'm fine. What's up?" I take a tissue gratefully from Cameron.

"So, Victoria's Secret was here today, to see you." She claps her hands.

"Oh?" I raise my eyebrows. I'm only 17?

"And they want to start working with you for a shoot." Kelly pulls me into a hug, my mouth agape. I would've never seen this coming. I mean, lingerie? Not really my thing.

"Wow." I manage to mutter.

"I know! So I am scheduling you a time with them. We've got another show tomorrow, but when I work it in, I'll give you a call." She practically skips out of the room after that. I'm still so confused and surprised that I don't notice Shawn sitting down next to me.

"I'll be by the stage." Cameron gets up and walks away, leaving us alone.

"You look like shit." Shawn looks at me and puts his guitar back into its case.

"Thanks." I roll my eyes and look down at my feet.

"Well, I mean, mascara is all over your face." He takes the tissue from me and starts rubbing it away under my eyes. I just sit there quietly until he's finished. "Why?"

"Why what?" I frown.

"Why did you make out with him?" His voice cracks.

"I don't know. He kind of went in and the other part wasn't supposed to happen he kind of antagonized it." I shrug.

"It hurt to see that." Shawn bites his lip.

"It hurt to hear you slept with Amy."

Shawn rolls his eyes. "I told you I was sorry."

"It's too late now to say sorry, isn't it?" I fold my arms. (lol jbiebs)

"But Brad-"

"Brad's a flirt who doesn't actually go for me that way." I sigh, interrupting him.

"It seems like it." He shrugs.

"Well, I promise he doesn't. Plus, I would never fall for him." 

"That's nice to hear."

"I bet." I fumble with my thumbs.

"Just so you know, Amy slapped me when I told her why I slept with her." Shawn adds.

"Why?" I furrow my brows.

"Because I said I loved you." He shrugs.

"Oh." I look away and then back at him. It'd be too hard for me to go back to being best friends. I want us to be how we were last night.

"Putting everything aside, do you want to go out on a date later?" Shawn asks out of the blue.

"A what?" My eyes widen and I'm somewhat awake again.

"A date. I guess I'd understand if you said no, I just don't want something to ruin our sudden relationship." He shrugs.

"Yes, I'd like to go on a date with you." I smile and answer, just as I'm being pulled back by my makeup artist. I've got to say, I didn't expect that to go so smoothly. I guess I should've, since we'd fight all the time and be best friends again a moment later. Now, I just have to wait for the rest of the show to be over and get ready for our first 'date' tonight.
