(Y/N POV)

"Shawn , I'm telling you Lauren's a gold-digger! She just wants you for the fame and money." I exclaim throwing my body back on his bed.

"(y/n) she's not a gold digger. She tells me she loves me everyday. I buy you more stuff than I buy her." He scoffs.

Here's the thing, I'm Shawn's best friend and I want everything that's best for him. From food to where he sleeps. I love him a lot and ever since high school, I've had a crush on him. It's silly because I know he doesn't like me like that.

Lauren and Shawn met at a party in Sophomore year. That's when he started to get noticed online for his career.

I've known Lauren since freshman year and she's always been a bitch. Dating trust fund babies and rich boys. She's really pretty so of course everyone likes her. If you weren't rich and you liked Lauren, there's no chance for you.

Shawn makes a lot of money now. He went platinum multiple times. 2 best selling albums and 1 world tour.

   It was great seeing him live out his dream. But since he's been my friend , he's always talking about how much he likes Lauren. 2 years later they are dating and I'm seeing her suck all his money in front of me. He's also been very stressed out lately and Lauren begging for money to buy a new purse isn't helping him.

  She doesn't love him yet he's so hopelessly in love with her. He's just blinded by her charm and beauty to see it.

  I tried telling him multiple times but we always end up yelling and fighting about it. Which leads me to where we are right now sitting in his room talking about her.

  Lauren somehow persuaded Shawn to give her 10 grand so she can buy a new car. She already has a car. It's nice and working but unfortunately it's "not good enough for her."

  I originally came to just hang out and have lunch but we haven't even left his place to grab something to eat.

  "What are you talking about. Tell me one thing I asked you to buy for me." I challenge sitting up.

  "I bought you that Rolex watch for your birthday that you said that you always wanted." He says.

  "Shawn i didn't tell you to buy it for me. I just talked about how pretty it is, you bought it without me knowing." I respond rolling my eyes.

  "You always talked about the damn watch when you were with me. I thought you were hinting me that you wanted me to buy it for you since I'm successful and everything." He retorts.

  "No Shawn! Oh my god stop jumping to conclusions. You're being so blind. Lauren doesn't love you for you, she loves you for your money. Open your eyes, everyone one of our friends can see it." I exasperate.

  "Dump her, there might be someone who loves you for who you are that's right in front of you." I add on hinting that I like him.

  "What are you talking about (y/n)?" Shawn questions burrowing his eyebrows.

  I heavily sigh before telling him "Shawn , I like you. I've liked you since I saw you eating lunch all alone at recess in 6th grade."

"You were there for everything when no one was. All the way up till now when we are 23. I just never had the guts to tell you because you've been rapped up on Lauren for years." I add on stiffening as I see Shawn's sympathetic eyes looking at me.

  Tension fills the air as my cheeks turn red from embarrassment.

"(y/n) I didn't know you felt that way about me. I'm sorry but I don't have those types of feelings for you. I have Lauren and I'm happy with her." Shawn responds.

I chuckle bitterly "This is what I was afraid of, I knew you didn't like me back. Lauren is just in the way of everything."

His face hardens. "Is this why you want me to break up with Lauren? Because you have a crush on me and think we could have something. Lauren was never a gold digger, you just wanted her gone so you could be with me. News flash (y/n), I don't like you."

"Shawn, even if I didn't like you I wouldn't want you and Lauren together because she's stealing your money! You need to stop being so gullible. God damnit Shawn. I'm trying my best to make you have the best, but she- Lauren , she's holding you back." I explain in one big breath.

"I think the only one that's holding me back is you (y/n)." Shawn growls.

"I think it's time for you to leave."

"Are you serious Shawn?" I scoff now getting emotional.

"You're getting your feelings in the way of my relationship. Hell why the hell are we even talking about this. It's my relationship so stay out of it." He responds.

"I'm your best friend Shawn, I'm suppose to be in your business." I heavily sigh as tears come out of my eyes.

His hands go up and pinches the bridge of his nose.

"Shawn choose, it's me or Lauren." I say already knowing who he's gonna pick.

"(y/n) I think it best for you to go." He repeats again.

I nod getting up and heading for the door.

" I hope one day you realize what she's doing to you. Have a nice life Shawn. I wish you best always." I say my voice breaking too.

Turning back around I close the door and begin a new chapter of my life without Shawn.
