Attachment ☹ SHAYLOR Text Messaging Book

#50 Labels ♡ (i super luv this)

4:22 pm

Taylor: Any reason why you wore Grier's football jersey today?

Shawn: He asked me to.

Taylor: You didn't say no?

Shawn: Wait, you never defined what we were. I thought I was single. I said yes I would love to wear his jersey. I've been waiting for you to ask me but you never did.

Taylor: I said you were mine.

Shawn: What, when you claimed me with those hickeys? Yeah. That doesn't matter.

Taylor: Hey! I thought you liked sleeping with me.

Shawn: Yes. I love to but you never defined us, never labeled me as anything. I don't know if your my boyfriend or not.

Taylor: And so what, your Grier's?

Shawn: Well maybe since he actually asked me to wear his jersey. It's a tradition for the football player to ask their girlfriends and boyfriends to wear their other jersey on game day.

Taylor: But he never made anything official. Only asked you to wear it. He didn't say, 'hey boyfriend want to wear my jersey?' He didn't say that, did he?

Shawn: No. But he asked me. And you didn't.

Taylor: Well sorry. Whatever.

Shawn: Came to text me just to argue at me? Nice going.

Taylor: I text you because I didn't like the idea of you possibly being with someone other than me. It was never about the jersey alright. Well, that's a part of it. But, never mind fuck it. Just have fun with Grier. Bye.

Shawn: Should of made things official.

Taylor: I thought it was clear that we didn't need labels. We were perfect without it. Why do labels signify if we're dating or not? I took you places, took your virginity, addressed PDA with kisses and hand holds. It wasn't enough? And I guess not. I thought it was clear that we were at least both seeing each other.

Shawn: Okay, okay. I'm really sorry. Sorry for thinking we weren't a thing, sorry for accepting another guy's jersey.

Taylor: I like you, and I assume you like me. It hurts thinking that you never even bothered to think about my feelings. Didn't try to at least ask where do we stand in our relationship?

Shawn: I'm terribly sorry Taylor. I do like you. A lot, to be honest I love you. But don't you ever think, wouldn't it be cute to call Shawn my boyfriend? Wouldn't it be nice to have an official anniversary date?

Taylor: Will you be my boyfriend?

Shawn: Taylor... You've got to do more than just ask me through a text.

Taylor: Oh so now that I try to make things right, it's still wrong?

Taylor: Yeah. It's best if we aren't together. At all. In any way. Whatsoever.

Shawn: I would fight for you but I've done too much already. I thought our texts were going somewhere. So, okay. Goodbye.

Taylor rushes to find his two football jerseys and scatters to find his old poster that he wanted to give Shawn a few weeks ago.

He knew he should of asked Shawn out but he felt that he was a bigger person and didn't need to. As the MVP football player, he wasn't ready to be tied down.

But now he's sure he wants Shawn.

He heads a mile to Shawn's home and begins to bang on the door. "Shawn!" Taylor calls out but nobody opens the door.

Taylor sneaks into the back door like he would and when he gets there he sees Shawn with somebody. Nash.

"Shawn?" Taylor croaks. "Oh. Taylor. What are you doing here?" Shawn says with tears.

"I..." He lifts his poster with one hand and he jersey in the other. In his pocket he has a necklace with a ring on the silver lining.

"Is the timing wrong? Is it bad. I'll just go. Here." Taylor leaves the poster on the floor and takes his ring box out of his pocket and throws it on top of the poster. But he took the jersey with him. "Goodbye. Forever."

Shawn has all the ambition to chase after Taylor but for some reason he doesn't.

He picks up the poster with its cheesy proposal phrase and takes the box. When he opens it, it addresses, "We should be together." On a little paper along with the ring with their initials engraved.

"What just happened? Caniff actually has feelings? Kid never does. Come on babe." Nash tugs on Shawn's waist but he swats his hands. "I can't."

"Why not?" Nash retorts with a confused face. "Because I love Taylor."
