shaun’s POV
Rolling over I yawned and looked around the room, jimmys bed was empty and jumpnow was dead to everything. Ew I never want to wake up early again. Dragging myself to the bathroom I dragged on clean clothes and turned on my straightner. 20 minutes later I looked at the clock it was just past 9. I needed to find Jimmy, I had to tell someone. Walking towards the beach I could see Jimmy about 50 meters away, Talking to that girl… Taylah…. How did she get here? I couldn’t control how angry I was and started jogging towards them. ’Oi jimmy!’ I yelled at him. He turned around, waved then turned to face her again. I reached them and when me and Taylah locked eyes I exploded. Not literally. I shoved Jimmy aside and grabbed taylah’s arm ’You little biatch,’ I muttered before punching her cheek. She made a sort of quiet screaming sound. ‘Shaun, calm down.’ Jimmys voice was calm. ‘No way! She fucking deserves it.’ I reached up the hit her again, only vaguley aware of the crowd gathering around us, footsteps coming closer. As my fist made contact with her face with a thud Ashley pushed in front of me. Seeing her pale face all my anger faded, I rested my head on top of hers and hugged her. ‘Shaun no, she’s not worth what this is doing to your image.’ her hushed voice took away the last of my anger. I looked ash in the eye and nodded, I glared at Taylah ‘Go die in a hole.’ i told her before walking toward the water.
I could just hear Ashley say ‘I’m so sorry Taylah, for everything.’ I heard footsteps coming up behind me. I sat down and someone sat beside me, I looked at them, It was Ashley, ‘Sorry I lost it.’ she sighed and shook her head. ‘Shaun if the police hear about this… Your 21 she’s 16 it won’t end well for you…’ she sounded sad. She caught my eye and grinned ‘Or your ego.’
I laughed before wrapping my arms around her and kissed her gently. Her lips were soft, her cheeks wet. Someone cleared their throat behind us, Jimmy was standing behind me. I kissed ash’s cheek again, she stood up and walked away wiping the tears off her face. Jimmy sat down, I stayed silent although I could feel him staring at me, I had to tell him. ‘iinvitedimogenandherfriendtocomeontourforbradie’ Jimmy blinked. Twice. ‘What the hell Shaun? use words PLEASE.’ I sighed ‘I invited Imogen and her friend to come on tour for bradie, I think he needs it.’ Jimmy nodded and I sighed with relief. We talked for about 15 minutes before Andy called and told us we had to come pack and leave. When we got back to the hotel Ashley was sitting next to Jumpnow in the corner. Everyone was silent, they had obviously heard about my outburst. ‘Haha they match.’ Jimmy’s voice broke the silence. They did. Both in ripped black skinnies, the gold Nike hightops and hoodies with dark hair perfectly straightened and side fringes. Dark eyeliner; although jumpnows wasn’t smudged everywhere. They looked like the perfect couple. Ashley stood up and came over to me and helped me pack. When we got on the plane i was next to Ashley, everyone else was spread out all over the place. I pushed her sleeves up and looked at her wrists, smiling when I saw there wasn’t any new cuts and the ones that were there were healing. She caught me looking and gave me a little half smile. ‘I love you Ash.’
‘I love you too Shaun, and not in a total fangirling way.’ the old man next to her glared at us and looked at her wrists with a look of disgust in his eyes. Blushing she pushed her sleeves back down, lent back and shut her eyes. ’Ashhhhhh are you ever gunna tell me what happened between you and your “bestest friend”?’ I asked in my most pleading voice. She frowned slightly ‘Not yet, not here.’ Sighing I looked at her face. Depressive, Scared. Maybe I shouldn’t push it. I gave her a kiss ‘It’s ok, whenever your ready.’ she smiled. Landing in Brisbane it was raining. After everyone filed off the plane we followed about 15 minutes later.
