My Gay Best Friend...Likes Me...?!?

Chapter 28 (Shane's P.O.V)

~Shane's P.O.V~

I woke the next morning, my muscles still hurt but not as much as the day before. The events from yesterday cluttered my head and I lay staring at the ceiling thinking of Yasmin. I could have sworn she said I love you. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't be here. The rest of it was a blur but I was sure she said it. She's probably at home now; too bad I really wanted to see her. I might call her later on.

I heard a knock and no one entered, normally when mum knocks she opens the door. "Come in." I said trying to sit up. The door opened and saw Yasmin quickly rush over to help me. "Oh hey, Yasmin. You still here?" I asked confused and let her help me. I was a little embarrassed but I have to admit I enjoyed it.

"Thought I'd stay for a while to make sure you and your family are ok." She smiled sitting next to me on the bed. That's when I remembered Dad.

"Wait did dad come back yet?" I panicked trying to get up but she stopped me.

"No he hasn't, look Shane we need to talk." She said looking up at me, I stopped and gave her my attention. Mum walked in just then with Zack. "In fact I need to talk to both of you." We waited for her to continue. "Please don't get mad but the other day I spoke to my brother about your situation." She said nervously.

"You did what?!?" I fumed. "You promised you wouldn't." I told her not to, she even promised. I had lost all trust in her just like everyone else.

"Shane?" She asked but I just couldn't look at her. "The other day I spoke to my brother because I knew what was happening here wasn't right and I didn't want you guys to be in danger. My brother has a friend who can help and has been working on it but needed evidence so the case could go through faster, which he now has but we are trying to help." I listened to her every word but I was still upset.

"I'm sorry but I had to." She said broken and walked out the room. Mum gave me a pointed look and walked out the room. While Yasmin helped mum pack dad's things I looked after Zack. It took a while for me to make him smile, I guess he's upset about the way I treated Yasmin too. The moment he saw her he wanted to be picked up by her.

I heard the front door and tried to get out of bed. I saw my dad's boss and realised it was Yasmin's brother and relaxed but listened as they talked. Another car pulled up. I watched as dad walk up the drive way and stopped when he saw Yasmin's brother. "What are you doing here?" He asked irritated and confused.

"I'm here to pick up my little sister." Yasmin's brother said standing in front of her. Dad stepped back he looked like he just lost everything and was fuming. "Before you react I'm giving you a choice either I can let you walk away and you don't come back or I just phone the police right now. That restraining order means go can't go near them, understood." Yasmin's brother said. Dad looked as if he was deciding what to do.

"This isn't over." Dad fumed walking off with his belongings with him I saw mum hug Yasmin before she left.

Once the door closed I saw a change in my mum. "I think it's about time we make some changes here and decorate the house the way we want to. I'll also try to look for a job to help us out, at the moment I've got some money I saved up over the years and it should last us a few months as well as help us start anew." She smiled at me.

That morning we went down to the store after deciding how we were going to decorate the room. I even got a part time job. Things were finally starting to look brighter and I felt bad for the way I treated Yasmin and decided to call her. I called her twice but it wouldn't connect I guess her phones switched off, I'll try again later on if not I'll see her at school.

That weekend we managed to redo mums and Zack's room and slowly but surely we were erasing all the bad memories and replacing them with fresh new ones. I tried calling Yasmin again but it told me my number had been blocked. I fell asleep confused and hurt.

I was talking to Jason when I saw Yasmin; I was still upset about her blocking me that I looked the other way. I was going to ask her about it when we got to form. As soon as I sat down I waited for her but instead she walked past me and sat at the back. Ok something wasn't right and looking at her confirmed it. Did I do this?

Sasha asked me where she was and I looked at the back where she was sat. I watched Sasha walk up to her. She told me she wanted to concentrate on her homework. Even I could tell her friends didn't believe her neither did I. Did I do this? This wasn't the same Yasmin I met on my first day at this school.

At some point Luke walked in to talk to Adam. He looked over at where Yasmin used to sit and then asked Sasha where Yasmin was ignoring me. I looked up and saw them both look into each other's eyes and found it too painful. Did she really mean what she said that night when she said I love you? Luke started walking toward her but she shook her head. He was about to go closer to her when Mrs Turner told him to get out.

In English I saw her sit next to Hollie. Jake let me sit next to him. Mrs Jones told her to move back to the front. I was going to say something but the lesson started. At some point Nathan had to move to sit next to her. "How come you and Shane aren't talking?" He asked her. I stopped talking along with Jake, Aaron and Allen.

"That's got nothing to do with you." She warned Nathan not looking at him. He looked at me and tried again.

"You two used to be so close what happened?" He tried again.

"Just drop it." She snapped. Wow now I really wanted to know what was wrong. It hurt to see her like this.

"But what happened." He tried again. She ignored him and asked Mrs if she can go to the bathroom. As soon as she left Nathan turned to me. "You alright?" He asked concerned. I didn't answer but looked to the door she just left through.

"You're always welcome to hang with us." Aaron offered. I smiled and looked at the clock. Whatever Yasmin was going though, it seemed as if she was trying her best to avoid me and it hurt deep down. I also knew something really bad must have caused this change and it was clear she didn't want to talk about it. When she walked back in no one asked her anything apart from the work.

When we got to maths we left her alone and only asked her for help when we needed it. She still wouldn't look in my direction. At break time she wasn't with her friends and I figured it was because of me. I saw Jason and he told me he saw Yasmin sitting outside alone. I didn't want to stop her from hanging with her friends so I decided from now on I'll hang with Jason and take up Aaron's offer.

We walked outside and from a distance I saw her talking to her brother and that's when everything fell into place. So it was my fault, it's because of me she's upset. "Dude you alright?" I nodded. I saw her talking to Luke and felt annoyed. So she can't talk to me but she can talk to him?

Enterprise went by in a blur and I was now in Business and I was sitting next to Allen. I ignored Luke as much as I could "I saw you talking to Yasmin." Aaron said to Luke. I decided to listen.

"Yeah." Luke replied and looked at his screen.

"What were you talking about?" Aaron asked him.

"Just talking." He winked and smirked in my direction. Whatever they were talking about it must be a secret and that really infuriated me. Soon enough I was walking home with Jason. He stayed for dinner and then went home. I knew we were now best friends and I can count on him for anything.

Tyler came back that night. Mum and I told him everything. He got angry at dad and was upset he wasn't there for us. But was glad things were now turning around for the better. I caught up with my brother and we spent the night doing his room up since he'll be finishing University in a few months.

I lay in bed staring up at the ceiling. I knew I loved her but I had to respect her choices, I didn't want to make things more complicated than they already were. My heart ached and all I wanted was her but nothing was going to be the same again. In the short time she was in my life she really changed it around and I would forever love her.

With a heavy heart I fell asleep.
