Unexpected - Shawn Mendes

Chapter Twenty Nine

I asked Jake to give me a ride to school the following morning. There were some things I wanted to go over about the whole 'Shawn' situation.

Of course he told me he would, and I was sitting on a barstool at the counter eating a bagel waiting for him. As I waited, Ryan came down the steps and sat beside me, and began tying his shoes.

"Hey, sis. When's Shawn picking you up?" he asks, and I frown to myself. I couldn't tell him about the whole Jake situation, knowing he would be disappointed in me. And I wanted him to be proud of me, considering all that has happened in the past few months.

"Actually," I say, "Jake is going to be taking me today. Since he's my boyfriend and all."

Ryan looks confused, but nods. He was never a huge fan of Jake, and it was pretty obvious. Thankfully he never made it obvious when he was around Jake, but I could tell he liked Shawn better.

"I'm not sure he's right for you G," he says suddenly, "there's just something about him, and I can't really place my finger on it."

I began to get offended, my brother honestly had no control over who I was dating. "Well, I like him, and that's all that matters," I say, eating the final piece of my bagel.

"I know that but.." he begins, but is cut off by the doorbell ringing. "I'll see you later, have a good day," he says, kissing my forehead. 

"Yeah, you too," I mumble, quite annoyed with him. It was selfish of me to be so angry considering everything that Ryan has done for me, but I couldn't help myself.

I answer the door to Jake, and he embraces me and pecks me on the forehead. "I brought you a coffee," he says, holding it out for me.

"Thanks, I really need it right now," I take it from his hands and take a sip

"Bye Ryan!" I say, and Jake mumbles a quick goodbye and then we were off.

Jake leads me to his car and we both take a seat, and he starts driving. "Can we talk?" I ask him.

"Wait, are you gonna break up with me? Please don't, G, I really like you and I-" he rambles, starting to get nervous.

I laugh, "No no, I'm not going to break up with you, I promise. I was just curious about what I should do for lunch. Can I stay at the same table I'm at now?"

He thinks it over for a minute, and sighs, "If you want to. I don't expect you to sit with my friends, but just be careful okay."

I nod my head, thankful that not everything had to change because of this. I enjoyed my seat at the table, and I didn't want my friendships to end with anyone else sitting there.

I don't answer, just sigh and take a sip of my coffee. I didn't know what to say, whether if I should thank him or something. But part of me felt like with the way he's been acting; he didn't deserve it.

He removes one hand from the steering wheel and holds my hand, rubbing the back of my hand with his thumb. He smiles at me assuringly, and I smile back.

"You need a ride home too, right?" he asks, and I simply nod my head.

"Is everything okay, G?" he asks, concerned, probably thinking I was going to break up with him still.

"Yeah, Ryan was just being annoying this morning, but I'm fine now."

He parks the car and we both get out, the coffee in my hand. He instantly spots a group of his friends, with a few cheerleaders around them. "See you later babe," he says, ditching me and walking over to them.

I start to be petty and get annoyed over the fact that he just left me to walk by myself, and didn't even invite me over there with him.

A cheerleader hugs him when he walks over, and I instantly felt like shit. I can't talk to Shawn because he apparently likes me but he can hug cheerleaders? I also notice Jake's hands a little lower than I'd like them.

I see Morgan and Robbie, and hurry over to them. "I'm not sure what to do about Jake anymore," I ramble, and proceed to tell them what happened with Shawn and about what I had just seen.

"G, you have to let him go," Robbie sighs, "he's bad news. He controls you and hurts you, nothing good comes out of that."

"But guys," I whine. I did think I was letting him get away with too much, but was it really worth ending our relationship over.

I started to feel sick, feeling conflicted and upset. There were times where he was the sweeter boy ever, but sometimes he was selfish and only cared about himself.

"We can all go to the pizzeria after school to talk about it, tell Jake you don't need a ride anymore. Now let's get to homeroom," Morgan suggests, and I nod my head, and we start walking.

A/N I ALMOST MADE JAKE CHEAT ON HER IN THIS CHAPPY BUT I THOUGHT TBAG WAS TOO SUDDEN LOLOL SO I CHANGED IT
