Chapter 24: Date?

10:23am...

I sat lazily in front of the TV in the  living room. The dullness of the day so day so far has encouraged my laziness, bringing me to binge watch Teen Wolf. (Caution Spoiler) About up to the part where Scott was at the point of blowing himself up, Stiles came to the rescue and cooed Scott. Stiles told him how much Scott meant to him, as a friend and basically a brother. Scott ended up living because of sudden realization that the powder (or whatever the thing that caused it is called) was carried away.

Damn. I need that. A person, probably even a boy-if I'm lucky, to just tell me that everything's okay. Even though it isn't. And I know it isn't.

I wake up everyday fearing that something as drastic as my dad coming back would happen. It scares the living shit out of me just at the thought of it! I just want someone to be there for me. What about Dylan you ask? He's my brother and all but it's not the same. I still don't feel whole, so something's still missing.

And at that moment a sudden knock at the door caught my attention. My head snapped in the direction of the door. 'It's probably Shawn' I thought. Since he's not on tour for the rest of the year he decided to stay in LA. Which is weird considering that he misses his family.

I paused the TV and went to answer the door. The door revealed a hot-I mean attracti-I mean um a 6'0 tall boy beaming at me.

"Hey Shawn" I said, casually inviting him in

"Hey, so uh what're you doing" he asked nervously scratching at thgwe back of his neck.

"Watching Teen Wolf, wanna join" I said gesturing to the living room

"Sure, I love Teen Wolf"

I led him to the couch where I once was watching TV and continued the next episode. Shawn eventually scooted close enough to me to the point where he was able to put his arm around me. And once I thought of it, it felt nice. It felt safe.

We continued to watch as the intriguing intenseness of the show starts to unfold. Stiles gets threatened by an alpha werewolf, my heart speed up. Not Stiles! He's my favorite character! The alpha begins to harm Stiles with punches and kicks so hard he gets weaker.

"No Stiles! Why do they always have to go after the hot ones first" I angrily said at the TV

In the corner of my eye I could see Shawn's face not facing the screen anymore. His eyes wander around as if he's never seen the place before. He shifts a little, almost uncomfortably.

"Shawn, you okay?" I asked in concern

"Can I ask you something?" He asks. I nod and gave a reassuring smile.

"You are honestly the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, your hair, your eyes, your style. You're different..." He smiles to himself and continued. "What I'm trying to say is, would you like to go on a date with me?"

My jaw dropped. Is he serious?! Like, no hidden cameras? This isn't some sick prank he's playing? I fluttered my eyes to make sure it's not a dream. Everything remained the same. Well I have to say something. I mean he's amazing and all but I'm not good with the whole trusting thing and I might mess up and I don't want that!

"I-I would love to" I finally said. Shawn smiled widely and hugged me tightly. This is really happening. Shawn asked me out. One day I'm wishing to meet him and the next, I'm going on a date with him. I'd never thought I'd say this again but life is good! Shawn pulled apart from the hug.

"So where are we going" I questioned

"Don't worry about that, all you need to know is that you'll love it. I promise" he smiled. "How does this Saturday at 6 sound?"

"Sounds great"

Shawn looked at the time and cringed.

"Hey, I got to go but I'll look forward to Saturday" he said smirking

"Me too, sounds fun"

"Bye" he waved

"Bye"

I locked the door behind him and plopped down on the couch, letting out a loud sigh.

"I can't believe this is happening to me" I said to myself. And from then on that was all I could think about. The date. I guess my luck is finally starting to change.
