Unhidden Love (Shawn Mendes)

Chapter 7

I wake up and its 6:30 in the morning, so i get up, after checking my social media, put on workout leggings, a workout tank, running shoes, throw my hair in a ponytail, and head out the door. I run about 5 miles, and let me tell ya, it was killing me. I could definitely tell I hadn't worked out. Whoo! Wore me out.

By the time I got done with my run it was nearly 8, dad had already left for work. That's the only thing about staying here with dad. I only see him on Sundays and at night.  So I decide to take a shower, throw on a t-shirt and spandex, and lay back down in bed, playing on my phone. Cam texts me, asking if I want to go get breakfast with her at a local diner called Granny's, so I tell her yes, and put on a pair of jeans, and my converse. She picks me up and we head to granny's where I get biscuits and gravy, and Chocolate milk.

After breakfast, we go to her house, and chill out in her lounge area, watching Untold Stories of the ER, all while I Snapchat Shawn. I smile, thinking back to when we kissed, 2 days ago. I always hear when you kiss the person you belong with, you'll have butterflies and feel fireworks, but my Nana always said, if you got all nervous and giddy, you should turn away. If you feel calm and warm, that's who you're meant to be with. I felt nervous, but at the same time, warm. And now I'm clueless of what to do. I think I need some expert advice on this.

"Cam?" I started.

"Yeah?" Okay, here goes nothing.

"Shawn and I kissed." Lets start there.

"Oh M GEEEE! What?! When?!" Oh no.

"Thursday, like right before I left."

"So, there is something going on." She said, matter as factly.

"No. Well, Kind of. I mean, ugh, I don't know."

"What do you mean "I don't know"?"

"Okay, so we almost kissed before that, once. Then we confessed our feelings of liking each other, then I totally told him we couldn't have a relationship, and then it was a little awkward, but not too much. But the next day, was the day I was leaving. And he followed me in my room to get my stuff, and I don't know. It just kind of happened." I explain.

"Oh My Gosh!" She squealed. "Does anyone know?"

I shake my head. "No, just you."

"Well, do you really really like him?" I begin to think, do I really? "Omg you do! You're smiling just at the thought!"

"Yeah, I guess I do. But it's not like anything can happen. I mean his fans would skin me alive, and plus what if we dated, and broke up? Then it would be really awkward and it would make visiting mom awkward and I just cant do that." I respond.

"Stop thinking of all the negative. Think about what could go right." She's right. I should think about what could go right. I mean, you only live once, right?

"So what do I do?" I ask.

"Uhm, if you don't want to power through and get him to be your boyfriend right now, ask him to prom. It's a good start." So we begin to plan how to ask him. I only have 5 weeks between me and prom, so thankfully, Cam is  a great help. After planning it, I decide its time for me to go home, so Cam drive me. I begin to clean up my room, and unpack, doing  huge load of laundry. I begin to fix dinner. I finish up laundry, Dad comes home, we eat and watch a movie, before he falls asleep in the recliner. So I clean up the kitchen and go up to my room. I check the time, and decide it's probably a good time to call mom.

"Hey, baby!" She answers.

"Hey, momma! I miss you!" I say.

"We all miss you here! It's so, I don't know, boring, I guess."
