Chapter 26 Shawn's POV:
"SHAWN WAKE THE HELL UP DUDE!" John jumped on my bed and grabbing a pillow smacking it to my face. I shot up staring at him as he finally sat down by my feet.
"What John?" I looked over at the clock as I read 9am.
"Seriously? Why are you sleeping in so late?" He complained.
"9am is not late, I think that's normal for people." I responded as he shrugged.
"Anyways how was last night? I mean I bet it was good because Bella left this morning." He chuckled as my eyes widen.
"Wait what?!" I yelled.
"I'm just kidding. Man you're so sensitive." I leaned and punched the crap out of his arm.
"Don't do that. That's messed up." I laid back down. All last night I couldn't stop thinking about what Bella told me. I thought I was gonna have to tell her how I felt first, but hearing her say that made me realize she felt something and it wasn't just me. I feel like I matter to someone and that makes me feel so special.
"You look super happy what happened. You're like not wanting to talk me or something-"
"John. I'll talk if you shut the hell up?" I interrupted him as he stayed quiet.
"The wedding was great actually. I love it, and I had a good time. So did Bella. And if you really want to know. She told me how she felt. Really about me." I told him.
"You know I'm so happy you can talk to me. It makes me feel like I matter in this world Shawn." I lifted my head up as he had a cheesy smile across his face.
"Alright now I know you don't care what do you want?" I asked him as he laughed and stood up straight.
"You know me so well. I was actually wondering if I could borrow your guitar?" My eyes widen.
"What makes you think I'll do that?" I asked.
"Because I'm you're homie till the end of time and you'll do anything for me as I would do the same." He explained.
"What are you using it for." I questioned.
"I met a girl and I told her I play music and she was fascinated so I told her I would play something for her." He told me completely up front instead of working around the bush.
"You don't even play the guitar. You told her a straight lie." I responded.
"No I didn't. Well maybe... BUT! That I'm sure I make something up around the line she won't notice."
"It doesn't work like that John. I promise you." I sighed.
"We'll show me something quick because I'm meeting her in 10 minutes."
"JOHN! 10 minutes isn't enough to master a guitar-"
"Damn it just show me three bloody cords Shawn." I shook my head as I got up picking up two guitars by my bed. I handed one to him as I sat next to him with mine.
"Alright this is an E minor okay? It's the easiest cord for you." I placed my fingers in the position as he looked close and put his fingers on the same place as mine.
"Now hold them tight enough to make the note clear." I strummed down as he did the same and it sounded like a dying cat.
"Shit! What did I do wrong!" He complained.
"Okay um, I have no clue how you can mess that up, but you did." I told him with disgust. I looked at his placing as I shrugged.
"Um first of all your fingers aren't even on the right strings." I placed his fingers correctly.
"Now strum down." He did as he strummed super hard.
"John now that hard-"
"But you can hear it more." He did the same thing. As my eyes widen.
"I'm serious if you keep doing that one string will snap." I warned him as he did it again.
"John! A string is gonna sn-" before I could finish the last string snapped popping him in his face. I cringed feeling the pain.
"Why didn't you tell me that was gonna happen!" He said dropping the guitar holding his eye.
"I freakin tried to tell you, but you chose not to listen!" I told him looking at my string on the floor.
"You have to be the shittiest guitar teacher in the world!" He yelled.
"You own me a new pair of guitar strings John!" I yelled picking up the snapped string.
"Fuck you dude!" He grabbed my guitar instead of his and walking out of the room.
